Steele and Campbell are the forwards, Do1an is center and the guards are Degnan and Kerr. Man ager Leavy of the Blue Ribbons will have his regular lineup and hopes to down the visitors.

The history of golf is dotted with amusing anecdotes concerning cham pions and duffers, though naturally more attention is paid to the accom- nlisflments and tales of the expert than Of the poorer players. This was more true of the olden days than present tim es. the early Sotch golfers having a fund of humorous stories to draw upon. For instance, there's the one told of Jack Burns. winher of the British open championship in 1888. 5: seems that an English pro fessi7naI who was travelling north to compete in q championship at Pres wick left the train at Ayr, and under the convoy of a, Scottish cOnfere set out to, probably. count the number of public houses in he ''auld toon.'

 In the second smoker held by the of New York received the decision over Bob Reimer of Hartford, in the star bout.
 Kane's remarkable left won the fight for him. His left always found it's mark on Reimer. Reimer also used his left to good advantage.
 The first round opened up fast There was plenty of milling done in this fracas but little damage was done by either boxer. Although Reimer did good work, Kane's re- markable ring generalship and clev- erness got him the verdict. Jimmy took the lead in the first and kept ii all through the four rounds.
 Reimer hit Kane several times with his left to the body which looked low In the third round Kane cut Reiner's eye with his repeated left iabs. In the fourth round Kane did most of the leading and when Parker raised Kane's right hand he was roundly apDlauded.

Five hundred and fifty-fve dollars and fffty-three cents second! NO, this isn't how much John D. Rocke' feller's entire holdings earn for him without lifting a finger. It's merely what Jack Dempsey, worlds heavy weight champion boxer, will earn sometime this year in glove joust with Georges Carpenter, the gallant Gau1 That is on two condition3 to wit: that he receives $300,00O for his end of the purse and that ne terminates the fight in approximately three rounds or nine minutes of fighting. Presuming that the To- ledo Terror ends it well within tho life of the third round. as he did with the giant Willard, his earning power per second will even exceed the figure mentioned above.
 But the latter serves amply for some staggering comparisons we have in mind. It is a mooted question whether or not present day fighters are more formidable than the ring men of old. But as to business acu- men-wen, forthwith are some in- teresting facts and figures which may help you reach a conclusion.

WHITE S0X MAY TRADE FIELDER
 TO THE TANKS

New York, Feb. 7-The chance that Miller Higgins will get the fast, hard hitting outfelder that he needs from the Chicago White Sox was made known yesterday when Kid" Gleason, the manager of the American League champions, sent out distress signals to the effect that his team must have another seasoned pitcher and that he is going to talk business with the other managers in his circuit at the big meetings in Chicago next week..
 Gleason has an outfie1der he can spare in pinch. Higgins in a pinch might Gsare pitcher. To get Happy F'elsch. for instance, he would make some sacrifice. To get Memo LeiboId for use as the Tanks 1ead-off man he would give up something of value. And to get any one of the eight good pitchers that Higgins has in tow at present, Gleason would probably make some sacrifices. too.
 So the chances for a Yankee White Sox trade next week look promising. Gleason in an interview in Chicago yesterday declared he would have all of his old team on hand this year; that Gandil and Risbergs would be back; that Roy Wilkinson looks ready lo pdck up OIcolle, herr ana Williams in the box, and then said:
 T do not know if any change will be made in the personnel of the club. I would like to make a trade Or two if it were possible. It is known that we can use pitchers. I would like to { make a trade for one or two during the American League meeting here next week. We may make one. l am always ready to talk business with any other manager if he is willing to l be reasonable.

 he is the strongest opponent Bogash
 has yet faced. If Bogash can hold
 his own with Cline it will be quite a
 feather in his cap. The bout is scheduled for 12 rounds and is the
 feature of the card arranged by
 Matchmaker Dan Hatfield of the East End A. c.
 Another good bout on the program
 is the ten round affair between Sapper
 Cohen of this city and Mickey Tray . CTS, of New Haven. Both have ap- peared here before and have always pleased the fans. Teddy FSabryck, the pride of Fairfield, will take on Young Angelo of Stamford in an eight round session and in the opener Young O'Leary and Young Wallace will clash.
 The card looks like a strong one and judging by the demand for tickets the Casino will be crowded on Mon day night Blocks of seats have been
 reserved by several local Italian clubs tof which Bogash is a member.

Ohio Professor Declares College Players Are Brbed By Large Sums to Desert Their Teams and That They
 Play Indiferently to Avoid Injuries

Columbus, O.. Feb. 7-"Professtonal football is a posthunous child of the game. There is not a thing that can be said in its defence by any sensible man who loves sport" said Athletic Director L. W. St. John of Ohio State University, after his return from the holiday meeting Of the National Inter collegiate association, where profess sional football was discussed at length.
 Professional managers are un- scrupulous in their dealings with players. They tamper with college men still in school. Young players in need of money are often unable to withstand the temptations held out to them. Their morals are corrupted" he declared. These managers play up the element of mystery" he con- tinued. '"They are responsible for all sorts of rumors about players. liar ley and other members of the 191e Ohio State team were approached and otherwise tempered with.

Jess Willard Wants
 Go With Carpenter

Little has been heard from Jess Willard since he lost his crown to Jack Dempsey in the sun-baked arena at Toledo, but the other day he broke his silence long enough to say that
 he would challenge Georges Carpen- tier if the Frenchman can defeat Dempsey. If Willard is thinking of returning to the ring he should get into action before he loses what little form he regained while training for Dempsey. If Willard needs money for improvements for his ranch he could command a considerable amount by consenting to take on Fred Full ton. Willard figures to have an ex- cellent chance of beating Fulton, and by consenting to take on Fred Full if held in New Jersey the bout would draw 8 small fortune.

 This immediately started plenty Of excitement, and when Connie was asked what idea he meant to convey he remarked his intent was to mean thusly:
 ''If we are to believe what we heaR from certain members of our league, we may not have an American League this year. If we do. I expect to make a much better showing during the coming season than my team did last year."
 This sort of modified his startling declaration and made the Athletic rooters. feel happy in the thought he would be able to witness his idols batting 'em out at Shibe Park.

Paris, France, Feb. 7-Jack Demp- sey and Georges Carpenter will not meet for the heavyweight boxing championship on July 4, or even on Labor Day, Sept G. This is set tied fact. M. Descampss confirmed ed and signed a contract which Carpen- tier signed shortly after his bout with Joe Beckett in England. by which the champion of Europe agrees that he will not fight Dempsey for the worlds title before Oct..1, 1920.
 This contract is with the Robert son-CoIe Co. and provides that Car pentier will be featured in four nov ing pictures in the United States. II does not prevent his appearance in vaudeville or in exhibition bouts, but does specifically preclude his meetina Jack Dempsey before Oct. 1.
 Carpenter will sail for New York on March 8, a passage having been booked on the Aquatania- He will be married before that date, and oi course will be accompanied by his wife, by M. Descamps, his manager and two sparring partners.
 A representative of the Robertson Cole Co., in this city confirmed last night the news from Paris that Des- camps had signed a contract yester-
