TOday'S Sport Angle

The recent major and minor league
meetings established a bad prece-
dent.
The paying OF enormous prices
by major league club owners for
minor league ball players is going
10 have a bad reaction.
The minors are going TO continue
to shun the draft and hold out for
mammoth prices. The paying OF
$4,000 for O'Connell is going to
make the bush league club owners
hard 20 get along with.
Likewise the way money is being
paid out, is going 10 have its effect
on the ball player II wouldn't
occasion any great surprise II lot
OF players held out for more money
this spring.
The player is naturally going to
figure that he Is doing his part In
making the big profits possible. Sew
eral OF the owners have said they
were paying fancy prices for untried
recruits in order 10 beat the income
tax.
The athlete. whether he Is a star.
or just the ordinary player. is goine
to dope it out that the magnate can
help beat the income tax by payinr
him more money. He is going 10
insist that he ought to cut in on
the profits, rather than the minor
league magnate.
At the New York meeting. the
following story was going the rounds.
A certain player was put on the
market. A club owner offered $780,
600 in cash for said player. The
owner OF the player set his figure
at 100000.
The story is that this player is
getting only $4,000 a year. Know
ing that his owner values him al
100000 isn't going to make the
player very easy to sign at $4,000.

Group Clamoring for
Match
EX-SOLDIER'S DEFY
BRINGS HEAVIES UP
by HENRY t. FARRELL.

United Press stan Correspondent.
NEW YORK. Dec. 24.-Bob Mar
TIN has Joined tho little group out
side the cage. looking In at the man
killer. The soldier champ wants TO
ngh, Jack Dempsey.
Hard Broadway fans look az the
challenge with a well. he'd last
about as long as anyone"
Unless Martin has 20 meet some
kind OF a huge mortgage on the old
homestead or something like that.
it is hard to understand why ne
wants any OF Dempsey's game.
Ho had good little racket play
ing 10 soldier houses around In the
cities. and suburbs and he's stlll a
good card. but he won't be 80 good
II he gets polished on like the
Frenchman. Jimmy Bronson's def
hurled az Dempsey. on behalf OF his
boy, brought the heavyweight situa-
tion back 70 notice.
Il looks like another lean year for
Dempsey. Tex Rickard, however
figures he may be able 20 think up
some kind OF match for the king
OF the big ones. The boss OF Madi-
son Square Garden Is expecting 20
see Kearns and Dempsey the first
OF the year as he has received word
that they are about to give up their
vaudeville act and start in quest Of
a good priced victim.
Rickard still believes that Fred
Fulton would be a good card with
Dempsey. He seems 10 place a be-
lief In what Fulton said about his
FIRST experience with Dempsey IN
New Jersey. Rickard does not Thins
much OF a Dempsey-Wills hght. Hr
opinion is shared by a good many
fans. who believe the big coloreo
man has gone back and is not the
battler ne was several years ago.
Rickard. right now, is interested
chiefly In the CarpentierIiiobon'
bout that he has tucked away in
his safe. Despite oft-repeated stor
les coming from the other side. KICK
ara says he is sure that the French
man Is coming over in February t'
meet the st. Paul heavyweight.

Tho hating records Of the two
major leagues were badly shattered
during the 1921 campaign
In 1920 the abolition Of all freak
deliveries. the spitball excepted en-
abled the batters to hang up some
new marks.
In 1921. the lively ball, plus the
inferior pitching that was on tap IN
hoth major leagues caused the bat
ters TO have a decided edge.
Back 20 years ago, a game was
regarded as a slugfest II one OF the
teams got rs hits. Last season there
was many a game played in which
Is or more hits were made.
The making Of ~ hits excited
little or no excitement last season
as such games we're tho ordinary

the whip hand last year. For years
the annual cry during the winter
months has been for more hitting.

tion this winter.
The Pittsburgh club. which nm
ished second in the National
League. set the record for both
leagues with 25 safe swats. In the
game Of June against Boston the
