cealed it quite skillfully. In fact Will
lard took the first train back to Kansas
when he was convinced that the best he
you'd get was percentage of what the
Garden would hold with the SIS limit.
Rlckard continued: "The surprising
demand for tickets for the Dempsy-
Willard bout makes it clear that the
Garden would accommodate only a
traction of those who desire to see the
bout. Willard is absolutely certain that
he will regain the championship and
has impressed many followers of box
ing. A demand has been created that
he be matched with the winner of the
Dempsey-Carpentier bout.
Fighters Approve Change
81 will erect large open-air area
here for the international contest and
stage match between Willard and the
winner of the Dempsey~Carpentier bout
under the existing contract for Septem-
Der 8. This change of date was made
with the consent and approval of both
Willard and Dempsey"
With the exception of the Moran
Willard and Dempsey Bre nnan bouts all
the big boxing contests promoted by
Rickard have been staged in open-air
arenas. He has had so many of them

up on short notice. The one that he
erected for the Dempsey Willard bout
at Toledo had room for 100000, but it
turned out that Rickard was a bit over
optimistic in this building.
There are several sites in upper
Manhattan upon which Rickard might
erect his open-air arena. 1t might be
on the Velodrome site at 225th Street.
Besides the heavyweight championship
bouts Rickard plans to stage bouts be-
tween other champions and near-cham-

land Racing Commission and the stew.
ards of the New York Jockey Club met
this afternoon and after lengthy con-
ference reached working agreement
for the conduct of Eastern racing dur
ing the ensuing season.
1t was agreed that the MARYLAND
Commission should have complete con

but, on the other hand, the Maryland
horsemen agreed to recognize the stud

The case of Carroll SchiIling, the
Jockey, whose debarment by the JOCKEY
Club threatened to break all relations
between these two powerful racing
bodies, was dropped by mutual conseRt
and is now regarded as a dead issue.
August Belmont, chairman of the

,Dewtraw Is Tied
With McWhorter
J For Skating Title

SARANAC LAKE, N. Y, Feb. 2.-Roy
McWhorter, of Chicago, and Charles
Jewtraw, Of Lake Placid, tonight were
tied with so points each at the close
OF the second day of the international
skating tournament here. Charles Cor
man. of st. John, N. B., was close be-
hind with 60 points, while Joe Moore,
of New York, had 80, and Mike Good
man, of Winnipeg, had 90. The cham
pionship matches will end tomorrow
with the 440-yards and three-mile
events.
BY winning the half mile and taking
third place in the two-mile races to-
day, McWhorter was able to gain a
good grip on the national title, )but
skating experts here tonight predicted
that unusual good work will have to be
done tomorrow to decide the cham
plonship. McWhorter had an easy win
IN the half mile race, Jewtraw falling
at the bell lap.
Joe Moore, the New York City ice
speedster, gave the most sensational
performance of the day, winning the
tWo-mlle event in 1884, or fourteen
seconds slower than the worlds record.
JeWtraw finished second in this race.

Ruth May Take to Mound
To build up speed, q necessary ad-
junct of modern baseball success, Man
ager Miller Huggins has sacrificed
most of what pretense toward south
paw power he carried last season.
Three rt-siders-George Mogridge,
Herb Thormahlen and Frank O'Doul-
have gone. Only one veteran left
handler remains, and this is Harry
Harper, acquired from Boston by trade
Harper, moreover, is questionable as

Yet Babe Ruth may save the day for
Higgins. The champion home-run hit

Dover Hall Club last week that he was
anxious ''to double in brass" this sea-
son and take his regular turn in the
box, # necessary. Ruth believes he
can win twenty-five games for New
York If Higgins will allow him to pitch
in his regular turn.
I'VE should have cake-walked off to
a pennant last year." said Ruth at that
time. "and we're bound to land the
bacon in 1921 At the tail end of the
season | felt like offering my services

This spring I'm going to Hot Springs

Ruth is probably the greatest SOUTH

Senators May Exchange
Star Players for Pipp,
Baker, Bodie and Quinn
Bv w. ]. Macbeth

A story emanating from Philadel-
phia yesterday sent New York's heavy
contingent of American League fans
into the seventh realm of bliss and
happiness. This story brought out
fielder Sammy Rice and frst baseman
Joe Judge from the Senators to the
Yankees in exchange for first base
man Wallie Pipp, third baseman Frank
Baker, outfelder Ping Bcdie and
pitcher Jack Quinn.
Unfortunately the story could not be
confirmed But there is ray of nope
in the fact that it has not been denied
locally. The officials Of the New York
American League club were absolutely
non-committal. They would neither af-
firm nor deny. Had the deal been con-
summated as suggested in the story
from Philadelphia, there would have
been no cause for evasion. 1t doubtless
would have resulted in an official am
nouncement of the fact.
That the powers which be of the
Yankees have seen fit to refuse to
discuss the story indicates some fur
ther protective trade between Wash
ing and New York. A swap of such
proportions as indicated in the dis
patch from Philadelphia would have
been a ten-strike for New York;
further, it might have been of the
greatest benefit TO Washington.
The bat of Frank Baker would have
added an offensive punch sadly lacking
in Washington these many years, 8
punch doubly effective with Wally
pipp teamed with the Trappe mauier
10 must be remembered that Pipp and
Baker were for several years the
heavy siege guns of the Yankees be,
fore Babe Ruth. the daddy slugger ot
them all, was coralled. Baker and Pipr
were by far the most prominent ot
Murderers' Row in the old days.
Quinn Still Reliable
Jack Quinn is aging, but he is still
reliable pitcher and, indeed, one OF
The very best spitballers left AS 8
spring pitcher, particularly, it would
be difficult to find more reliable
mound man. He would fit in excellently
with Washington's staff, which is
somewhat weak on ht..handers, now
that Walter Johnson is gamble
Ping Bodie played by far the best ball
Of his major league career most OF
last season before he suffered frac-
tured leg. He is reported sound as
ever again
But all four OF the Yankees associ-
ated in the rumored trade might easily
be spared to bring such pair as Sam
Rice and Joe Judge to New York. In
Shawkey, Mays, Hoyt and Collins Man
ager Miller Higgins has all the right
handed pitching any club needs. AS
many more recruits are coming up for
trial, Bill Donovan says Ferguson is
likely to be sensation the coming
year; Gene McCann declares Piercy,
recalled from Vernon, star of the first
rank.
Rice would solve the local outfield
problem and, with Judge. would add
that slement of spsad 80 badly lacking
IN tks Yankees OF the last few years.
