Tommy Gibbons, regarded gener-
ally IS the logical candidate for
Jack Dempsey's heavyweight
crown, is likely to appear in the
windup attraction, Jan. q or Feb.
3, On the Independent A. c. card at
the Illinois theatre.
Gibbons has been offered the
match through Promoter Frank
Smith and Eddie Kane. manager
for the st. Paul wiz, and unless
previous engagements preclude &C
ceptance Of the Rock Island date.
it is almost certain that Gibbons
will agree to come here on per-
centage basis.
Frank Zelle Of Decatur, with his
long and impressive record as a
heavyweight champion contender
in the A. E. F., and his subsequent
conQuests in Canada within the last
year, has agreed to meet Gibbons
or any other candidate for the In
dependent A. c. c. E. Weston, his
manager. assured Promoter Smith
as far back as Dec. 80 that they
were eager to show in Rock Island.
Gibbons stands in a class by
himself save for Harry Greb of
Pittsburgh, SO far as being chosen
to meet Dempsey is concerned.
Tommy and his manager have been
camping on Jacks trail ever since
Dempsey won the title from Jess
Willard, but the champion has
turned deaf ear to their pleas
Tommy also tried here and abroad
to invegile Georges Carpenter into
. match, only to meet with the
same rebuff.
Those who have seen Tommy in
action or have followed his work
closely are inclined to credit his
assertion that he is the only logical
contender for the heavyweight
honors. Zelle is ambitious and un.
daunted by the impressiveness OF
Gibbons record. If they can be
matched to show here, the fans are
promised their best treat in tri-
city boxing annals.

Dyson knocked Moore down in

shifty for the st. Paul boy. This.
coupled with his right jabs and left
hooks to the body and head, gave
him a commanding lead. the Judge
awarding him the verdict.
Moore fought gamely.. but he
could not fight his usual battle at
close quarters because OF the shifty
tactics Of Dyson.

SExTON'S.PLAN
LIKELY TO PUT
MINORS Alright
Copy Of New Supplemented Agree
ment Goes to Drafting Board
and Adoption Imminent

Chicago, Jan. 10.-The completion
OF one OF the most thorough house
cleanings baseball has ever had, is
contemplated by club owners in
the meetings scheduled here this
week to reorganize the national
agreement and the past between
the major leagues.
Besides the new understanding
between the magnates a new deal
for the players is under considera-
ton, President John Heydler OF the
National league said today, as part
of the general reconstruction re-
sulting from last falls scandal dis
closures.
Minors for Peace!
Sentiment among minor league
owners seems to have veered in
favor Of the proposed new national
agreement, according to reports to-
day. President Mains OF the On
tario league, a member of the COM
mittee, said today after aconfer-
ence with President Sexton OF the
National Association of Minor
Leagues. that he believed the mi
nors and majors would get together
with Judge Lancds as the boss Of
them all. A copy of the new agree.
ment as drawn up by attorneys at
the behest of President Sexton, is
in the hands of the minor league
drafting committee.
New Rights Expected.
Some concessions are sought by
the minors, it is said, and indica-
tons are that they will be granted.
One reason for the unsettled
opinion of the minor leagues. it is
said, is the fact that the American
leaguers have not signed the new
major league agreement, although
they voted seven to one to accept it
in New York.
Until the American league mag
mates sign their own major league
agreement the minor club owners
says~they are hesitant about form
ing an agreement with that body.
The Washington club cast the dis
senting vote at New York.

CARPENTER TO
QUIT IF LOSER
French Champion Says He'll Retire
Unless He Succeeds in His Com.
ing Battle With Dempsey.

Amsterdam. Jan. 10. - Georges
Carpenter, champion heavyweight
pugilist of Europe, in an interview
in the TELEGRAPH today regarding
his coming fight with the worlds
champion. Jack Dempsey. express
ed optimism over the outcome. He
said it would be a hard fight, but
that the result was not for him to
predict.
I'm rather inclined to be opti-
mistic," Carpenter declared. even
if it were to occur tomorrow.
He had nothing to offer regard
ing definite arrangements to to
where the fight is to be held.
Whether l retire from the box
ing game depends on the result Of
the match with Dempsey" Carpen-
tier said. IF 1 am beaten. will
retire, if not, l probably shall go
on fighting for some time"
One OF the main reasons for his
coming to Holland, Carpenter said,
was to visit the land of his wife's
birth, revealing that Madame Car
pentier was born in The Hague.
In an exhibition match last night
with the E.lgian boxer, Jules Le-
naers. Carpenter astonished the
Dutch sportsmen by his clever
ness.
He is even better than We ex-
pected," one OF them said. HE can
land five blows where another man
lands one"
Carpenter said he might meet
Frank Moran Of Pittsburgh before
his fight with DeI3sey. Carpen-
tier expects to visit TIE Scandina-
Wan counties soon.

Slowly, Outlook.
Ri HENRY l., FARRELL.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Jan. 10. - European
efforts to dominate and regulate
international sports are slowly
failing.
In the past the controlling bod
les of the other side have been par
ticularly anxious to dictate the
conduct Of boxing and tennis.
American bodies. disagreeing
with some of their ideas. refused
to become affiliated with the Inter
national Boxing Union and Inter
national Tennis Federation.
United States Spurns Union.
Taking the stand that America
had practically all of the recogniz-
ed ring champions and that more
Of the sport was staged here than
in practically the other countries
combined. American representa-
tives refused to join the Interna-
tional Boxing Union last winter
when the organizers were unwill-
ing to give America a voice COM
mensurate with its rank as the
leading nation OF the ring.
The petty efforts of the English
sportsmen to retaliate by refusing
to recognize Joe Lynch as the ban
tamweight champion on a technic-
atty that won't hold water. we're
disclosed through the United Press
the day after the Lynch-Herman
fight.
Tennis Break.
Because the International Tennis
Federation established the annual
championship as fixture for VIM
bledon. England. America would
not join. The tennis authorities on
this side also disagreed with the
English decision not to force the
champion to play through"
From recent reports. the Eng
fish tennis bodies are coming

play and Rock Island took first on
the 1s-yaId line.
Mansfield hit center for two and
Devlin followed through the line
for three. Novak, aided by per-
feet Interference, eluded Chamber
lain and ran to within a yard and
q half OF the 80-yard line, which
marked the end Of the field. The

Kuehl STRUCK the line with tre-
mendous force on the next play
and crossed the chalk. The bail
was returned 10 yards under the
ground rules, and successive
rlunges by Kuehl, Novak and
Mansfield put tho ball to within a
yard and half Of the line again.
kuehl was called on again and
scored a touchdown on fourth
down. Wyland kicked the goal,
and the score was tied. Neither
side could gain to advantage and
the half terminated several min
utes later.
Novak and kuehl had tired from
their successive plunges for mate
rial gains and were replaced at the
beginning Of the second half by
Curt Norton and Paddy Quinn, re-
spectively, who played through the
third quarter. Norton and Quinn
added = degree of freshness to the
Islanders' attack, and their defen-
sive playing did much in turning
back the Staley's weakening Of
on for Second.
Shoemake's KICKOFF went out of
bounds and the ball was returned.
Oke Smith grabbed the second
loot on the 10-yard line and ran
the ball up to the 30-yard line.
Norton skirted right end for a
yard, and Quinn added eight
through the line. Devlin broke
through the line and put tho bali

down. It was great play in
which Mark shook OF almost the
entire Staley eleven. !
Devlin punted across the line on
FIRST down and it was Staley's bail
on their 20-yard line. Shoemake
had to stand behind the line to
punt, Quinn catching the ball on
Staley's 3S-yard line for no gain.
Paddy then rushed the ball to the
3o-yard line and Norton went
through for q yard. Devlin stood

ball teams in the world played the
most spectacular game Of the sea-
son in the big Dexter park arena,
Tut both Chicago morning news
papers failed to report the strug-
gle. Whether lack Of enterprise
or not, the Herald-Examiner and
the Chicago Tribune missed a
glorious opportunity to promote
the interests Of football by their
indifference, or whatever impelled
them to discredit the match.
The Independents showed Chi
Cago fans what they have never
seen before-a football eleven that
could beat the Staleys at their own
game. 1t didn't take . big crowd
very long to accord the Islanders
one of the biggest demonstrations
ever accorded m athletic team.
The Chicagoans carried every Is.
lander off the field with loud huz.
xas after the game. Their attack
had proved y revelation.
What shattered the Staley mo-
.ale more than anything else was
the complete suppression of the
disreputed Traitor by Louis kolls.
The scrappy Islander center just
called Trafton's bluff and gave him
a verbal beating that made him
literally dog it throughout the
game. Traitor figured strongly in
Just one defensive play. In all the
C;hers, he was picked of complete
iy by Kolls and Wyland.

Staley was never superior to the
Independents and that their "a
