MIKE GIBBONS NOW
SEEKING CHAMPION
st. Paul Middleweight Wants to
Tackle Johnny Wilson for
the Title.

ST. PAUL. MINI. Jan. 2o.--Mike
Gibbons. former holder Of the worlds
championship. is out
with a hot challenge to Johnny VIII
son, present title holder, who won the
crown from Mike o'Dowd. -.4
Gibbons has been In retirement Tor
several seasons. but asserts that 'un-
less Wilson gives o'Dowd a return
match. he will force the champion into
a night.
Wilson has proven By his actions
since the title bout that he does lot
consider himself a real champion, a
title holder willing and worthy TO
battle with the best of his class" Glib
bons said today.
This attitude Is an outrage to the
profession, and unless Wilson IL soon
forced to defend his title against
worthy challengers, boxing VIII
suffer.
Il do not care TO re-enter the ring.
but II Wilson persists in his deter
mination to eyAde O'Dowd, but Is
willing 10 meet all other opponents,
! am ready to box him.
1T Is up to Wilson to say what he
is going to do. The sport can hardly
tolerate further stalling. IL he would
rather have a real tryout before box
ing O'Dowd. Fam willing to talk
business. The next move Is up TO

SAYS BUGS
BAER:
Good Motto for the New
League-Always Clean
Out the Ashes Before
You Start the Fire.

After a winter OF steamlng over
cold sport hash. the baseball violet
pol<es It's 'bashfui mush up out OF the
ash barrel Things will soon start
popping like a package of Chinese
shooting crackers.
No matter what the gamblers and
curly baseball players have done TO
the game. remember. II is still your
mother.
Baseball Is the national game
and always will be. There never
Was an orchard that didn't have a
worm or two In an apple.
IL looks as II the next season will
be clean one, morally for the
game, and financially. for the pro-
posed outlaw league.
There isn't a chance OF the new
league doing business II IL packs it's
threat OF signing up discredited
players.
A city In the Coast League tried
that last summer. We forgot what
their original nickname was for po-
liticaI reasons.
They soon grabbed one from the
fans Of the other seven. cities. Their
new title was "The Bandits"
They signed q squad OF outlaw
players. despite protest from the
other towns. Whenever one OF
these players stepped out on the
field, he was as welcome as a raise
In the rent. Some guy would get up
In the bleachers and chirp:
Hey, Jesse, where's your hoss?"
The umpire would stop the game
ever two minutes to borrow a chew
OF tobacco and count his money. 4
pinch hitter would be greeted with
the gaudy information that All Baba
was batting for one OF his forty
thieves
All the famous names OF infamous
heroes were conjured up to make
the visiting team feel at home.
As result. the offending city
soon tied the hardware to the boys
Tough for them. as every man has
to make a living.
Just because a man goes wrong
two or three thousand times is no
indication that it is habit. But
when you find blood on a sheepdog's
nose you know that he hasn't been
killing carrots or spinach.
And unless the new league starts
with a clean beak they are out like
the gas when you don't pay the bill.
Baseball has cleaned its CRATE.
They know you have to haul out the
ashes before you start the fire.
If the new league starts with a
load OF ashes, instead of coal, they'll
get chilblains from the July heat
waves.
When ii comes time to count the
gate, they'll think they are selling
snowballs at Moose Factory.

TRADE WINDS

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-Wintei
trade winds promise to make hur'

Recent player deals and the pos
sibilities of additional trades re-
ported in the making are responsible
for this belief in baseball circles
today.

club involved, and no less than hall

market for talent that will add bal

The Giants need an infielder They
could use an outfieider and a south

The Reds could use an experienced
inheider tosreplace Rath and possibly
an outfielder .,
The champion Dodgers need n
catcher but have nothing to trade at
present. The Cardinals could also use
a catcher and have outfielders to
spare.
NEEDS A sHORTsTOP.
Boston should have a shortstop to
take Maransville's place and the
Phillies need a catcher and several
other players.
The Cubs need more than any other
team. Evers is after first baseman,

The Reds NEEDED the pitching

that very badly. The Cardinals, II

and more dangerous than they were

Here are three contenders, on

The Chicago Cubs may take on new
life under Evers. but they are up
against it for badly needed talent
and their chances at this early date
seem to taper off to an Interrogation
point.
The Braves will be stronger than
they were last season and even the
Phillies, with new manager-Blll
