YANKEES WANT
 0UTFIELDER, IS
 HUSTON'S PLEA

New York, Jan. 2o-CoI. Huston, part owner of the New York Yankees, returned from 8 short vacation at Dover Hall, Ca, yesterday, in the same warlike mood Tn which he went away. In discussing the qudetness along basebalIs Potomac for two or three weeks. he said:
 "There is absolutely no significance in the momentary lull of legal pro- ceedings. They are simply taking their course and moving slowly, as legal proceedings usually do.
 Our feelings, so far as Ban John son is concerned, have not changed. and we propose to push our case against him as hard and as far as possible.
 'Rumors that this quietness indi- cates that the three so-cal1ed insur- gent clubs were beaten and seeking a way out are without foundation
 Talking further of baseball in gen. eral, Col. Huston said that Miller Huggins, manager of the team. was expected back from the Pacific Coast l where he went to sign Babe Ruth, this afternoon or tomorrow. He ad- ded:
 \ Huggins has seen a number of our 1 players on his journeys. and when we get his report we wil1 know what 1 must be done to build up the team, l and stand ready to follow any reason | able suggestion he has to offer which i will add strength.
 ''It is true that we have lines out
 for another outfelder, and good one 1 too, but we are not considering g l trade which would involve Quinn
 Shore and Wick for Happy Felsh, as l has been rumored
 Tt is generally recognized that 3
 strong pitching staff is 50 per cent of a club, and we do not propose tc weaken our staff or get rid of an!
 pitchers until Huggins has had an op ,. portunity to pass on them at tht
 training camp. It is our ambition tt bring an American League pennan to this city, and no money will b, 1 spared to give the fans what the.
 want. It would not be good policy however, to strengthen one spot = the expense of another'' '-=

that art In comparison with mod ern ringmen three college men come to mind as interesting athletic types for such an analysis. They are Ted Coy, Eddie Hart and the late Tom Shevlin.
 Who could not Ted Coy have whipped were 1t possible for him to inject as much diabolical energy in to a boxing match as he did in that football game with Princeton when he twice smashed his way almost the length of the gridiron through the Tiger defense for touchdowns And how about Eddie Hart? This
 celebrated Princeton Captain was six
 feet two an weighed 210 pounds. He could run 100 yards in eleven sec 1 onds in moIeskins. Hart was per- | haps the strongest man that ever at l tended any college. He had hands
 which never suffered their vice like 1 grip to be broken. He handled other
 men opposed to him as if they were i pygnies. Peaple who know Eddie Hart and his gorilla-1ike strength
 will tell you that he couil have
 whipped Jeffries, Johnson or Demp-
 sey the best day that any of those
 ring worthies ever saw-had he i cared to.

Cochran May Lose
 Carpenter, Says Tex
Rickard Claims Time Limit Put Py Frenehnan On Con tract With Englishman Is February 15---Denies
 He Is Allied With Cochran

New York, Jan. 20-Tex Rickard, promoter of the battle of Maumee Bay, takes issue with Charles w. Cochran on the question of the contract with Carpenter. Rick ard declared last night that Des- camps assured him that unless Co., chran obtained Dempsey's@ signature by g, specified date the French cham pion would be released from con- tract. Rickard understands that the time limit. on the champions sigma ture is February 15 and that failure on the part of Cochran to secure ii automatically releases Carpentier from terms of the agreement.
 Rickard was asked if he could name the man who had signed Demp- sey to an agreement, and the pro- moter significantly replied that a1 present he had nothing to say. but might have important information t2 divulge in a short time.
 : Rickard denied that he and Co chran were acting in unison as to ths match and declared that unless he got the signatures of both boxers he would not touch the affair.
 Cochran has been puzzled by tht peculiar statements emanating from Paris and attributed to Descamps. H. therefore cabled to the manager o. Carpentier asking for an explanation The British promoter yesterday made public a, copy Of a cab1egram he re ceived from Descamps in reply to hi inquiries. It reads:
 Awaiting your decision. Have en tertatned no other offers whatever Will not do so unless released Q, you"
 Cochran again denied there wa any time limit on the agreement h had with Carpenter and reiterate
 his assertion that he would eventual ly stage the bout in the Olympia London.

 With plans materialiZing through which boxing will soon be recognized as a major sport in our leading uni yer sities and colleges the ancient pas- time surely appears to have q future most roseate in a new field. Inter collegiate boxing nourished by spirit of clean competition and the fervid but friendly rivalry which marks big football matches should establish A unique notch for itself in the domain of sports in this coun- try.
 It has long been held that there are scores of college athletes who could make rnince-meat of the pro- fessionsl boxing champions were they inclined to lower themselves to the level of the prize-ring. Perhaps the greatest rtngmen have never appear ed in public owing to the notoriety attending such a display of the fight ing qualities. This entgmatica1 ques- ton will now be definitely settled without the necessity for profession al appearance of the college athlete. The boxing meets between our lead ing institutions of learning will re- veal the caliber of boxers who can find other means of making a living than punching peoples faces-no naaStAr haw a<nA<t they nniRrht hA fa

that ever lived. He was built some thing like Tommy Burns and was as quick as a cat. One day, a couple of years after his last Jeffries encounter Jim Corbett happened to be playing in New Haven. Corbett was always popular with the college boys and he dropped up to the Eli gym to look over the football material. There he met Tom Shevlin who had just come off the field from practice. Corbett induced Shev1in to put on the gloves "just for a little workout" and Shevlin agreed. In a few minutes of boxing which ensued it is said that Shevlin, in perfect physical condition roughed the soft-muscled Corbett all over the gym. Even Jirn's clever ness couldn't stand off Shevlin who put it all over the conqueror of the mighty John l.. Sullivan. After they had peeled of the big buffers Corbett collected enough wind to remark: From you're in pretty good shape and I'm badly out 1 of condition. I'll drop around some time when Pm in better form and we'll try it some nnore.''
 | But as far as I can learn Corbett never did.

Joe Benjamin Must
 Tackle Coast Rival

When Joe Benjamin returns to Cal ifornia he will find plenty of work to do in the ring. Al Shannonn, who claims to be the lightweight cham pion of the four round game on the far coast, is waiting patiently for Benjamin's return. Shannon defeated Mickey Donley, the Jersey boy who recently took the measure of Ben janin, and he also beat Frankie Far ren, another of the leading contenders for the honors of the far coast. Now he declares that Benjamin cannot come back and lord it over him on the strength of the boosting he re- ceived while in the East.

Young Levinsky Says
 Dixon Is Afraid To
 Give Him Bout

We here of another boxer who has been trying hard to get on in local pugilistic circles and hasn't been given an opportunity yet. This is Young Jevinsky who obtained his dis charge from the United States Navy a short time ago and wants to meet Joe Smiths battler, Panama George Dixon. Levinsky is no s1ouch and af- ter seeing the colored boy in action at the Acorn and reading about the setups Smith had selected for his battler he asked his manager to try to arrange 8 match for him with Dix on. His manager approached Smith in regard to 9 bout between the two and was promptly turned down by the latter Smith saying that he would not allow his man to meet Levinsky under any consideration. Now if Smith wants to show the fans that he is not arranging easy marks for his man he ought to agree to 8 bout be. tween the two as Levinsky has made an enviab1e record while in the ser vice and would prove drawing card. Levinsky will do almost any thing for a match with the dusky chap as he says he is sure he can ob- tain the decision over him.

BOATS TO BE
 SCARCE FOR BIC
 YACHTING RACE

: New York, Jan. 20-It isn't going to be so easy to see the Americas g Cup races next July as it was in other years, when about everything that could float from motorboats to sound steamboats went down to Sandy Hook loaded with sightseers.
 The navigation laws were changed following the Titanic disaster and since the last cup races. Now all craft that carry passengers outside must live up to the 1ifeboat requirements laid down for coastwise vessels.
 This eliminates most of the boats that went to the last races. Several excursion promoters have talked ot chartering coastwise liners for the races This seems to be impractical however, because of the big revenues they are getting from freight on their daily trips.

Until Wilde was defeated by Shar- key he was in line for a bout in New York that would have netted him $25,000. He had offers from every promoter in the country, which would have enriched him to the ex- tent of $200,000, but he tossed all that aside by believing himself too good. He was shaken into sensibil- ity by Sharkey, and it is certain that rom now on any bantamweights who mingle with Wilde will have to step ! lively to keep from being annihilated. Wilde likes money and he is not go- ing back to England until he collects what he terms as that which is due him from his trip to America.
 While the International Sporting Club of New York cancelled it's con- tract with Wilde for rhe reason tha' | Wilde has failed to show enough tc l warrant his being used and for the | more important reason that the 1oca l club is not yet ready to invade the ! pugilistic field, Wilde still has severa l chances to exhibit his wares in th' l East.

 Wilde was rushed into his first American engagement on the wings of some invaluable publicity.
