AUSTIN RICE WANTS BOUTS
 FOR SAILOR JACK SULLIVAN

Austin Rice of New London, well known boxer here many years ago, writes to The Bulletin as follows:
 have the management of former Norwich boy now in my care, who I would like to show in Norwich, or any other city. He is Jack Sullivan, 142-145 pounds. I would like to match him with either K. O. Palitz or Dave Powers I saw the last bout be- tween Powers and Palitz in Hartford and l am confident Sullivan can take the measure of either of them.,
 have given boxing lessons here for over eight years and have boxed a great many boys in that time also but l can say that in those eight years Jack Sullivan is the best boy I have run across. He has large shoulders, back muscles and. arms which natu- rally make him a terrific puncher. He is fast and clever, also has a good head. We have had chances for matches lately but. Jack is an inde- pendent sort of fellow and unless the purse suits him he will not bother about getting into condition
 Now if some club in Norwich cares to match he and Powers I am posi- tive he wiuld accept. I mention Pow CTS for he has boxed in Norwich sev- eral times and the fans all like him and think a card with he and Jack on it would boost the game in Nor wich considerably. Sullivan, I under stand, has boxed in Norwich before and when in condition has always given an excellent account of himself
 If any club desires to put Sullivan on at 142-145 pounds please ret in touch with me.

ENGLISHMEN MAY COMPETE
 AT PENN IN SPRING

The schedule of international sporting events for 1920 continues to grow. International competitions in various sports have been announc- ed from time to time and now word comes from Philadelphia that an invitation has been extended by the University of Pennsylvania to Oxford and Cambridge, the two great English universities, to send a team Pennsylvania relay carnival at Frank lin Field, Philadelphia, in May. < This bit of news was disposed yes terday by Lawson Robertson, train- CT of the University of Pennsylvania athletes, and the popular choice of Champion athletes all over the Unit ed States for the honorary position of trainer of the American Olympic team which will represent this coun- try in the Olympic games at Ant Werp next summer.
 According to Robertson, a repre- sentative of the University of Penn sylvania is now abroad making final arrangements with the British col legfans and their acceptance is ex- pected daily. The team will con- siSt of ten of the best athletes from Oxford and Cambridge and from these ten at least one team is to be picked to compete in one of the Am erican relay championships. It is like ly that they will be able to enter teams for the one and two or four mile championship relays.
 AS they will combine their strength 1n whatever relays they elect to start they are sure to furnish the stiffest kind of opposition for the American n college and university teams. At the present time the U. of P. appears to have the strongest team in the East for the two mile relay. Coach Rob ertson, expects to groom Earl Ebv Marvin Gustafson, Larry Brown and one or two other good middle dis tance men for this race. For the four mile Cornell and Syracuse. will he strong and several of the eastern and middle West colleges will be able fo hold their own with any one-mile team that the Oxford Cambridge com. bination can put on the track.
 Oxford sent her crack four-noiIa relay team for the Penn relay carni- val in 1914 and carried off the cham pionship honors, but only after a bitter fight. In that race Wallace McCurdy, the then captain of the red and blue team, raced Arnold N. s Jackson, the Olympic 1.50O meter champion, all the way and was only beaten by inches in the last desperat te drive for the tape The race was vas sC sC close that many who were at the fin. ish line believed that McCurdy was the winner.
 h nothing more the competitIon Of these foreigners here will give tht Americans a good line on the besl college athletes of England avaiIabIt for the Olympic games.

Chicago. Jan. s.-Selection. of a chairman of the national baseoaIi commission to succeed August Herr ra.E.r, who rendered his resignation yesterday, probably will be made at the joint session of the two major leagues to be held here Feb. II, John A. Heydler, president of the National league, announced tonight.
 The committees of the two major leagues appointed a year ago to select a man for the commission chairman shie are expected to present their recommendation at the joint session,
 'srhe man chosen to head the com mission should be independent enough to reach out after any player, club owner or official in baseball who drings the game under suspicion or disrepute" President Heydler said.
 '.Herrmann was good man for baseball, but the time has arrived for a change The game demanded it. Thk men interested in the sport real ized 1t and are determined to make progress. Baseball must be kept clean and the man who heads the commits sion will have the responsibility of seeing that this is done. Gambling must be stopped"
 President Heydler and Ban Johnson. president of the American league, will depart tomorrow for Louisiana to draw up the tentative schedules for the 1920 season. They will combine a hunting and fishing trip with the schedule making.
 There will be four baseball meetings in Chicago during the second week of February. Heydier- said. The National and American leagues twill hold sep- arate meetings on. Feb. 10 and the following day willigo into joint ses- sion. After this meeting the club owners of the two leagues will meet with a committee from the minor leagues to discuss the advisability of drawing up a new national agreement.

Cat tails as Food.

Professor. P. W. 7Claassen,, of Cor nell University recently called atten- tion to hitherto neglected source of food. viz. the common. cat-tail of our marshes, says the Scientific American It appears that the Indians made four from the root stalks of the cat tail, but for some reason white men did not aGopt this item of the Indian dietary as they maize and pota- toes. There are thousands of acres of cat-tail marshes in the United States. Professor Claassen finds that an acre of cat tails yield a total dry weight of rhizomes amounting to, about 1o,SOO pounds. From this 1t is possible to obtain 5 500s pounds of flour. The four is found on analysis to contain approximately the same amount of protein as rice and corn Hours, but the ash content approxi- mates. that found in potato, eassava and dasheen Hours. Cat-tan flour has proved very satisfactory as a part substitute for wheat four in baking.. and complete substitute fer cOrn- starch in buildings.

KEARNs WANTS A 75-25
 BASIS IN BIG MATCH

San Diego, Cal, Jan. 9.-If Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier are matched to box for the heavyweight championship of the world, it will be with the understanding that the win ner take 75 per cent. of the purse, ac- cording to Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, who was here today for a conference with James w. Coffroth, whose bid of $400,000 for the bout to be held at Tijuana, Lower California, has been declared acceptable by Kearns.
 Reiterating his former statement that he would prefer that Dempsey fight in America, and a bout promoted by Coffroth, the manager of Dempsey said:
 The Coffroth bid of $4oo,OOo is ac- ceptable to us, and we see no reason why the fight could not be held at Tiujana. If it is true that Cochrane, the English promoter, has Carpenter signed for a fight with Dempsey, and that this agreement is effective until early in February, why, naturally we must wait until the agreement expires if Carpenter is to appear in bout promoted in this country by Coffroth."
 As regards the bids made by J. c. Miller of Oklahoma and William Fox of New York, Kearns declared that the 4uCollOll O1 d 1SW luOuSdIlQ QOIldTS would not deter him from accepting the Coffroth offer.
 T want to make it plain that I con- slider Coffroth the most capable pro- moter for the fight" said Kearns. If the fight is held. we will insist that the purse be split 75-25 per cent. We don't want to go abroad and fight, but if we must we will insist on a guaran- tee Coffroth said he was hourly awaitin ga cable from Charles Harvey, his foreign representative on the question of direct word from Carpen- tier"
