LIMIT ON FIGHT
PRICES MAY HIT
new YORK HARD
Dempsey-Carpentier Bat
tie Will Probably Take
Place Abroad.

NEW YORK, Jan. SACK Demp-
ssy and Georges Carpenter cannot
have their little argument about the
world heavyweight championship
in New York.
Dempsey cannot satisfy Jess VIII
lard's desire for another chance in
New York.
The probability Of the same bat
ties being staged in America are
very slim.
New York is the one place that
Tex Ricksrd and company could
stage the biggest bouts Of the year
with the least risk and the Boxing
Commission has put a huge barrier
in the way.
Hard Blow 70 Hopes
The edict Of the boxing solons that
prices beyond $40 for an ordinary
bout" and SIS for championship
affair cannot be charged, throws icy
water on all hopes for these major
engagements Of the ring
Probably the promoters will buck
and fall back upon a price fixing
argument, but that will avail little.
Fortunately as far as supervision
Of the sport goes, the Walker bill
vests all the necessary authority
in the commission to legislste and
! enforce rulings Of their own liking.
Notice has been served by the
solOns on promoters not TO arrange
bouts in the future with higher
prices.
As is well known, a purse Of $500
900 has been offered for the Demp-
Carpenter tight. It never could
be staged on a maximum price Of
SIS for choice ringside seat
The Dempsey willard fight, while
not as gigantic financially, Is equals
| ly up against IL.
Boxing circles here are jubnant
over the commissions move. New
York wanted to see the big bout, but
II had sinking OF the heart whea
the matter Of the "ducats" vss con-
! sidered.

pounds, but the only risk I'll take
will be IL he falls on me when he
goes down"
Then you don't worry over any
thing that may happen II you take
on willard before Carpenter and
the 100000 purse Aren't you tax
ing a chance with that $500, 900
you're TO forfeit for fighting" the
FrenchmanT
Sure" said Dempsey. ANY guy
as big as willard might hit me on
the chin by accident and knock me
for a goal. That's why / like to
tight 'em all. II makes it interest
ing. / wouldn't want to fight VIII
lard IL IT was a sure thing I'd be
able to give him a beating. There
wouldn't be any sport in it. And
II there is any other guy in this
country who can whip me why
should 1 get all that money for
lighting George? Huh?
Il have time on my hands and the
contract says can tight in America
before the big bout. My idea of a
champion is a fellow who is ready
tc start any time he finds some guy
the public wants to see him fight.
When / get to where ! sidestep a
chance to scrap I'm going out to
California, buy little orange ranch
and settle down. I'll be through.
And, we'll, anyhow, I'm not worried
about Willard. II had any worry

JOCKEYS FINED IN
BATTLE ON TRACK

PINEHURST, n. C.. Jan. 5.-Five
jockeys and drivers were fined, sus-
pended or set back at the annual
midwinter fiat racing meeting Of
the Pinehurst Jockey Club today.
The diminutive Jockey Lasses, who
won the title event on Uncle Sand,
and his colleague Burns. who
brought Troben second under the
wire, INDUCED in a free fight near
the finish of the race and were
heavily fined and suspended pending
payment. They started things si-
multaneously and they were not set
back as the result OF the race was
not affected by the little discussion.
Luckily the two colored boys de-
voted their energies to hammering
each other over the heads with their
crops, so no particular harm was
done

AND so IT GOES.
1 watch them as they rustic by
With halting step and tagging
feet.
The weary droop of mouth or eye,
Where crowded thousands pack
the street;
And in the restless, crowded town
Their faded dreams seek out the
thrills
OF those who wander, lean and
brown,
Amid the freedom of the hills.
And in the hills or on the trail,
Apart from all the crowded brood,
With few to give a friendly hail,
They curse the breadth of solitude;
Where still the open highway
CLEANS
They mark ahead the lonely
Beyond the last goal of their dreams
They only see the city lights.
The Old Grad.
Dear Sir: I think 1 can tell you
the trouble with a lot of colleges
and the main reason for a number
OF bad practices that have crept
into college sport. The answer is
the Old Grad. Someone is always
asking now: Whats the matter
with Yale?" can tell you-it's
the Ord Grad. They belong else
where-where there are no cherished
traditions to be fiouted, no nice dis
tinctions of conduct to be violated.
no unwritten laws to trespass Did
this Yale spirit pour forth only
during the Blues great winning
streak? 1t was for the Old Grad
that destiny in the guise of some
anonymous boarding school student
contrived the word Impossible.

The undergraduate can't under
stand why the Old Grad should get
so wrought up when it should be

Then around December, 1920, he
began to look back. He suddenly
remembered that in the last twelve
years Yale had scored but one
touchdown against Harvard and in
these last twelve years had beaten
Harvard but twice.
He also remembered suddenly that

Jess Getting Hard Again.

Fred Toates, railroad man who
manages to time his runs so that
he never misses a good fight, tells
me an interesting story about Jess
Willard.
Toates' old home was in Kansas.
On a visit last summer he went
to the State fair at Topeka There
he saw Jess. who had just bought
the prize bull OF the fair for $4,000
cash.
I'D expected to see Willard fat
and soft, the way he was when l
saw him in Los Angeles a couple
of months before he fought Demp-
sey at Toledo" said Toates But
| he was a picture. He was dressed
like a farmer, in overalls and with
his shirt sleeves rolled up above
his elbows. His arms and face were
sunburned nearly black.
He looked like the biggest and
strongest man in the world. and
hard as nails. l never saw such big
arms on a man before, and l couldn't
take my eyes off him. He was pull
ing the bull around with his right
arm, like a pup on a string. and
he carried one of his youngest boys
on his left. Smiling and laughing
all the time, too You can take 1t
from me, Jess won't be any soft
mark when he meets Dempsey in
March. Anything he may do won't
surprise me"

the reputation of being the toughest

Polo is one of the greatest sports
in the world. The war being a thing
of the past, America is going to
England after the polo cup. and
early in December the invasion
began. Forty ponies were sent to
England, with their trainers and
handlers, to become acclimated and
accustomed to English conditions
for the international Polo Tourna-
ment next summer.
For the last year United States
Polo Association officials have been
making plans to recover the cup
lost In 1914 at Westbury. AS ponies
constitute about so per cent of a
teams strength, agents have been
busy in the Southwest and in South
America corralling the best polo
ponies to be found. In South Amer
lea they have encountered English
agents picking up ponies for the
British defenders, and competition
has been keen.
Americans have found the best
polo ponies developed by breeding
ponies from our cattle ranches in
the great Southwest with thorough
bred racing stock.
The Polo Association had $4,000
from the receipts at the last inter-
national match in 1914 to spend in
preparation for the coming event.
That amount and more will be spent
on ponies and team expenses. In
the past the American end Of these
international matches has been
largely financed by Harry Payne
Whitney, himself Americas greatest
polo player. Each match has cost
Whitney a fortune.
A sad thing connected with the
coming event will be the absence of
many of England's greatest polo
players killed in the war Among
these is Capt. Leslie Cheape. whose
marvellous play in 1914 practically
won for the British team. Still.
England will not lack material. for
polo is the great game in the Brit
ish army all over the world, and
the army develops about four high
ranking polo players for every one
developed in America.
Last summer eliminations were
held at Westbury to get a line on
the best candidates for the Ameri-
can team. One of the most prom
ising was Tommy Hitchcock. young
est of notable Long Island family
| a boy of 90. Tommy was an Ameri-
! can aviator, was captured, but made
sensational escape from a German
! prison camp, getting into Switzer-
land on top of a German freight
train.

has been appointed captain of the
American team. but he is the only

ward in two successive years.
With these bitter details passing
in full review, he suddenly arose
and began to emit a terrific roar.
The shock. you see, was none too
gentle. The bulk of his query
seemed to be: What's the matter
with Ysle?"
The undergrad says it's the Old
Grad. The Old Grad counter at
tacks. The answer is simple
enough, but placing the blame is
another matter. The answer being
that Yale hasn't had a shrewd, up
to-date, developing football system
in something like ten years.
Then Again.
Winning systems, however, are
not always tossed together in ten
or fifteen minutes.
Yale might also remember that
Haughton came to Harvard around
1908, and that he put in four years
! before he scored his first touch
down against Yale. And in those
first four years his team scored only
four points against the Blue.
After Levinsky's showing against
Carpenter the only logical oppon-
ent he had left was Joe Beckett.
Either that or two rounds of shadow
boxing.
In the meanwhile here's hoping
that 1921 will restore some of the
old classic to Walter Johnson's arm.
The Washington star began blind
| ing batsmen with his speed lust
thirteen years ago. Last summer,
for the first time, the hinge began
to creak and Johnson, at last was
forced to retire for the remainder of
the year. The four greatest pitch
ers developed in the last twenty
years undoubtedly were Mathewson,
Johnson, Walsh and Alexander. OF
these Alexander alone is a certainty
for the impending jubilee.
K. G. Fin our opinion the Til
den-Johnson combination was the
| strongest team the United States
ever sent abroad. 1t might. be ar
gued they were not forced to meet
Wilding- Brooks combination of the
old days, and the argument would
be true. But that doesn't alter our
opinion of their status in the realm
of Davis Cup tennis.
In getting ready for the next in
vasion of Great Britain, Walter
Hagen and Jim Barnes may be
forced to spend a big part of their
winter playing golf in Florida. But
such sacrifices must be made in be-
half of the nations reputation for
| sport.
