Boxing as Sport Now Being !:
Sold to the Highest Bidde,

zation. II It adheres TO its orig
inal ideals, 1t is sure to be power
and factor in purging the sport In
this country. II should leave the
promotion OF contests to those VINO
make 1t a business. At present 1t
looks as though boxing as a sport
is being sold to the highest bid
der. The army and navy board can
easily outbid che rest, for no boxer
who wants to retain his standing
could afford TO deny the board $
matchmaker. 1t would be inviting
blacklist. The organization
started all right. but il has been
temporarily sidetracked. Hence
the application Of the trite saying,
"You cannot wrestle with a sweep
without besmlrching yourself with
SCOT"
1t is to be hoped for the good OF
the sport in this country the Army,
Navy and Civilian Board of Control,
with its ally-International Sport
ing Club-will realize it's mistake
before il is too late
Root Made Ring History.
Artie Root. the popular. plucky
Cleveland feather-weight. added a
page to ring history in this city last
Wednesday night. He met Danny
French. a young Briton, who has
adopted Baltimore as his home.
Root had more than held his own
for three rounds. 4, In the fourth
round he stepped into right hand
lead. which caught him on the chin.
He was dropped to the floor. At
the count of four he regained a sit
ting posture. AS Referee Joe Grif-
70. Of the National Club, counted
seven. Root looked up smiling and
said: II have two more, haven't
-" Griffo made no reply, and con-
tinued counting eight. nine and at
ten said out. Root then got up. The
bout was officially over.
Here is Roots story. as given to
the writer by Porter, his brother.
Artie had been sent to the floor
several times In his bouts. because
he is aggressive. and got caught
coming in. just as he did on We'd
nesday night. He has always jump
ed up without taking any count.
Somehow or other he has always
felt II disgrace to stay on the
floor.
Pulled Real "MerkIe.-
We instructed him that in the fu-
tune if he was even. sent to the floor
to take the full count (meaning
nine). whether he was hurt or not
Artie surely pulled a Merkle. a real
bone, when he assumed he could
take ten and then get up and con-
tinue boxing. The referee was
right. Artie agrees on that. He
made a stupid play. You can bet II
will never occur again.
Artie is the best 122-pound boxer
in America. We do not except Kill
bane. and he stands ready to make
that weight for the champion or any
other aspiring boxer.

Two WHITESOX
NOTSATISFIED
Weaver and Risberg May
Wear Yankee Uniform
Before Season Ends.

Waco. Tex. March H. Buck
Weaver and Swede Risberg. of the
Chicago white Sox. will be wearing
the New York Yankee uniforms be-
fore the season Is well under way
IL they do not actually start with
the Yanks from the opening of the
season. 1t Is predicted here that
they are dissatisfied with internal
conditions on the Chicago club. and
are ready to retire rather than 60
through with another season Of
chickering's and dissention.
Although Sec. Grabiner and Mgr.
Gleason have declared that they ara
not worrying about the makeup of
the team. and are very optimistic
in public, people in a position to
know maintain that the Sox team
that starts the season and the Sox
team that will close the season will
he two different teams. as far as the
personnel of the members are con-
cerned.
Many Dlseontented.
That Weaver and Risberg will
join the team during the spring
practice games, no one here seems
to doubt. but that they and others
will be content to remain with the
team is another thing. and IL Is
stated. on good authority, that the
majority of the Sox infield and at
least two pitchers will finish the
season with other American league
clubs.
The trip of Charles A. Comisksy
to the coast is looked upon as moth
ing more than at attempt to pacify
the players and have them report
for play temporarily, in order that
they can figure in trades when the
season begins.
A few weeks ago Comiskey could
have traded advantageously. Now.
with the dissention that marked the
last few weeks of the 1919 season
again cropping up, he will be glad
to make any sort of trade, in order
to keep up appearances OF club
spirit. Both Weaver and Rfsberg
have expressed q desire to play in
New York City. With these men
holding out for a New York trade.
it will make matters easy for Hug
gins. and IL Is an accepted thing
here that the transfer will involve
money rather than an exchange of
players. and that Commy will dig
into his bank roll to try and replace
these men by outright purchases
