 MAG SWlNEY
About 1000 people assembled a

About 1000 people assembled at the Casino on State street last night to render homage to Terence Mac Swiney, martyred Lord Mayor of Cork, who died in an English prison year ago after fasting "A days and "A nights. The memorial service was opened with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, after which Jere- miah Sullivan, president of MacSwi- ney council. introduced the chairman. Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan.
 MT. Cullinan paid a brief tribute to the late Lord Mayor, in announcing the purpose of the meeting, and de- clared that "he was not soldier who died on the field of battle. nor was he a triumphant general, leading a trium phant host from the field. rather was he like Emmett, Ireland's patriot ic ideal. Like Emmett he forsook position and prestige for the. sake ot the great ideal, independent Ireland. He made the supreme sacrifice TOT his country, and like Emmett dream ed of 8 thriving and f1ourishing Ire land, with agriculture, industry and shipping making great progress. and the Irish people, inspired by the life and death of Terrence MacSwiney will make sacrifice necessary for the realization Of Emmett's and Macswi- ney's dream"
 Miss May Casserly of the Blessed Sacrament choir, beautifully rendered the song dedicated to Terence Mac Swiney, Let Him Rest in Sweet Erin With Emmett and Tone."- She was obliged to respond to two encores.
 Col. c. c. Wyatt, who was born in County Antrim, and for twenty-three years an officer in the British army a Protestant and a Freemason, stir red his. hearers upon several occa- sions during his address He ex- plained in detail the religious or so called religious question, stating that there never was a difference between Irishmen on this question, until Eng land put it there, brought to Erin for political and economic purposes. He spoke against the Penrose- Reed bill and made reference to the soldiers home.
 Thomas O'Dowd of New York, composer of Sim F'ein music, sang few numbers amidst great applause. Copies were sold to those present and a collection taken up to assist in the cause.
 Stating that Ireland was nation, and the oldest in Europe with the exception of Greece, a nation tradi- tiona1ly, geographically, racially and historically, Prof. Thomas c. Loner- gan, connected with the Irish move ment for over 25 years. proved his known as one of the foremost author tiles on Irish history in this country and was formerly a professor of hlS- tory at Boston College. He declar ed, "there will be no peace on earth until the Irish question is settled, and that is when the Irish people shah be masters of their own destiny, a free and independent|nation.
 s.The Snowy Breasted Pearf' was sung by Patrick F. Bowe and Mrs. Bowe led the singing of the closing song, "Soldiers of Erin.''

JIM THORPE BEST
FOOTBALL PLAYER
SAYS HIS COACH
Pop" Warner, Who Taught
Him Game at Carlisle, De-
ciares He Has No Peer.

New York. Dec 21.-According to
Pop Warner. now coach of the Uni
versity Of Pittsburgh football team. no
college player he ever came in contact
with had the natural aptitude for foot
ball possessed by Jim Thorpe, and it
has been generally conceded by coaches
critics and writer's, that the Fox and
Sac Indians peer has yet to come forth
upon the American gridiron.
Thorpe did not confine his prowess to
football, however, for he INDUCED in
all branches Of athletics, and being pos
sessed of genius therefor, he sur
passed in everything he undertook. Turn
ing professional. he shone as great
ball player, yet lacked just whit of
something of being great major leag
uer. That spirit perhaps was the spirit
that was instilled into his play while he
took part in athletics at the Carlisle
Indian school. where Warner coached.
Nothing else explains his failure to be
as great batter as Babe Ruth.
On the football field, though, Thorpe
was never equalled. Il never saw
football player that could penetrate
line as Thorpe could" declares Warner
Nor did | ever know of a player who
could see holes through which to break
as could the big Indian. AS for speed
none ever carried the pigskin down the
field with the dazzling speed of Thorpe.
He could so skidding through first and
second defense, knock over a tackler,

Courses and Dates
Are Fixed for Three
Big Golf Tournaments

New York. Dec. 21.-With courses
selected for the three national golf
championship tournaments for 1922
and dates practically arranged. minor
associations can proceed on their new
schedules with less uncertainty. At
present the only positive date officially
announced by the national body is for
the women's championship to be held
on the Greenbrier course. White Sui
phur Springs, September % and fol-
lowing days.
Long ago Brookline was chosen as
the scene for the amateur, with no
mention as to date. but that now ap-
pears to be fairly well determined,
either the first or second week in Sep
tember. This will mark the second
time Brookline has been favored with
the amateur events.
The Skokie club, near Chicago. will
have the open next year. the time fav-
ored being July. There is desire to
give golfers competing in the British
open at Sandwich, June % and %, an
opportunity to reach this country in
time for the United States Golf asso-
citation meeting. Were it not for that
an earlier date would be chosen.

BOSTON AMERICANS
HAVE WHOLE NEW
TEAM FROM TRADES
Joe Harris, One of Players Now
on Ineligible List, With Peti-
tiOn in for Reinstatement.

Boston, Dec. 21.--The Red Sox prac-
tically are d new team as the result of
trades announced. With the passing of
Everett Scott, progressive ranking
shortstop, and holder of the record for
consecutive play, the team loses the last
Of the regulars who brought world
championships here under the manage
ment of Bill Carrigan.
The new Red Sox, as Manager Hugh
Duffey visualizes them, in prospect will
be stronger hitting team. The line up
as he sees it, will be: Liebold, cf.: Peck
inpaugh. ss: Pratt. 2b; 4. Stuts, rf;
Harris If: Burns, 1b; Foster. 3b: Ruel,
g any one Of several pitchers.
We viii be able to put club in the
field the opening day which will show
at least seven men who can bat 300
or better" Duffy said.
Joe Harris, who is included in the
Cleveland Boston player deal, is on the
ineligible list, and whether he comes
to Boston is conditional upon his being
reinstated by Commissioner Landis. If
Harris is not reinstated, Cleveland will
send doc" Johnston to Boston.
Harris was drafted by the Indians
from Chattanooga in 1917. He was in
France the next year and did not join
the local team until mid-season 1919.
That winter. however, he jumped to
play with an independent team He
applied for reinstatement last August,
and his case is still under considera-
ton. He is a first baseman and a
heavy hitter.

The match virtually was cl1nched
when Wilson and Tex Rickard got to-
gether a few days ago, and Johnny
agreed to meet Greb. A fortnight ago
Harry declared that he was So anx-
ious to get a crack at the middleweight
son for nothing.
The sporting world practically is
unanimous that if Greb can make his

Bearcat will tear the crown from

Every boxing fan also knows that

Greb Always Ready
A victory by Greb will be great
boost for boxing. Harry is Of the

thing to do was to hang on to the title

the goods in the game. as anyone else
And don't you think Johnny can't de-
liver the goods when he has to. If
you think Greb is going to have any
cinch with him you are making the
mistake of your life"
The rivalry in the bantam division
is keen and the situation as it stands
holds the novel possibility of Pete Her
man coming back to win the title for
the third time. This would establish
in the long and rugged history of the
ring.
Fans Want Bout
For that reason, if for no other. the
fans are pulling for a return bout be-
tween Herman and Buff. The latter
has shown no very apparent desire to
mix with Pete again, although Johnny
is willing scrapper and will prob
ably not try to dodge such an encoun-
ter if Pete goes out and rings up
few preliminary victories to his credit.
Pete Herman is taking great care
of himself and is gradually rounding
into shape for his come back cam
paign.
Now that Jess Willard has stepped
out of the picture the only white man
worth considering as an opponent for
Jack Dempsey is Tom Gibbons. Of
fers for this match are beginning to
reach Jack Kearns from various points.
St Paul got ahead of New York by
submitting the first definite offer for
a Dempsey-Gi Gibbons match.
This offer came from Frank Nc
Cormick and Kearns says be will give
it due consideration However, there
is little chance of St Paul being able
to outbid New York for such an at
traction. and if Tex Rickard wants the
match there is no doubt he can get it.
To Meet Carpenter
Rickard. evidently would rather wait
until Gibbons meets Carpenter, and
then if Gibbons should win. Gibbons
Dempsey match would be a much |
greater attraction than it would at the |
present time.
If Gibbons should beat Carpenter |
n sensational style the Dempsey match |
would then loom up so big that it |
would require an outdoor arena On |
The other hand. there is chance that |
Carpenter will flatten Gibbons, and |

Players Talk of Forming 'Pro-

New York. Dec. 21.-As the time
draws near to sign new contracts, the
major league players are showing un-
mistakable hostility to Commissioner

cording to the new form Of contract

The decision in the Ruth controversy
has kindled blaze among the mem
bers of the playing profession, who
now begin to realize that the mag
mates have the upper hand and are in
position to dictate through the head

1t begins to look like a sure thing
that the players will organize a So
called protective association" for the
purpose of fighting the baseball au-
thorities. Such move has been talked
of for several years.

To CORNER BUFF
FOR TITLE BOUT
If He Doesn't Get Battle With
in Ninety Days, Will Claim
Championship.

New York, Dec. 21.-Leo p. Flynn
manager of Harold Farese, the Jersey
"Speedball," has offered Lew Diamond,
manager of Johnny Buff, bantamweight
champion of the world, $4,000 guar
antee for Buff to defend his bantam
weight crown against Farese within
80 days
Farese is the chap who a month
ago happened into Philadelphia and de-
cisively trimmed Al Ziemer, the lad
whom Johnny Kilbane is trying to do
nate his featherweight title to.
The Nemer battle was Farese's first
in some time. Harold has cut many
capers among the bantams and feath-
ers in the last two years. He has con-
ceded weight in many instances.
Johnny Kilbane, Pete Herman, Char
ley Beecher, Andy CLANCY. Benny Val
gar and Jack Sharkey, bantams and
clean-cut 21-year- Jersey knuckle
whirler.
Flynn, who is a veteran handler Of
fighters, predicts that for the first
time in his career he will manage a
champion-providing Buff is persuaded
to meet Farese.
Carl Tremaine, the Cleveland phen-
ON, is another highly-touted star, who
is anxious to continue evading the
issue with Farese. Flynn accuses Ire
maine with continually ignoring the
chance of boxing Farese. Leo has
made all sorts of alluring offers to
Tremaine's manager, but it seems that
Carl has been informed that Farese
is the peer Of the present day bantam.
If Buff does not accept the Farese
challenge within 80 days. Flynn will
lay claim to the bantamweight title
and send Farese on a tour of the
country defending it.
