RAY TO TURN FIGHTER,
# SET DOWN BY A. A. j.

CHICAGO, December 24.-Joie Ray.
fleet runner of the Illinois Athletic
Club and member of the 1920 Ameri-
can Olympic team. declared today that
he will not desert athletics. even if
suspended by the A. A. L.. following
the filing of charges Of excessive ex-
pense accounts.
Should Ray be suspended he stated
that he would take up professional
become one of the stars of the ring.
He said he had done much amateur
boxing and. if forced to turn profess
sional would put himself under the
guidance of real manager and seek
to become sparring partner for Jack
Dempsey or one of the other cham
pions.
The charges against Ray resulted
from his participation in three meets
last winter in New York. the first be-
ing the Wanamaker games on Feb
ruary 8, and the final being the meet
of the Guaranty Trust Athletic Club
on February 1e. Mrs. Ray accom-
panied him on the trip.
The rules of the A. A. L. state that
an athlete must not be in the city
where any meet is held more than one
day previous or one day later than
its meet. Then the A. A. U. provides
only 81 day for expenses.
Never Read the Rules.
Ray declared that he had never
thoroughly read the A. A. U. rules as
pertaining to amateurism, ard was
unaware of the two provisions against
remaining in a city over a day. or of
the amount of the expense account
And he said he naturally inferred that
the organizations inviting him to sta.
in New York, and cordially rendering
him the invitation to have Mrs. Ray
accompany him, would be conversant
with the rules. So he said he had no
idea that he was violating stipulations
Of the A. A. u, when he took Mrs.
Ray with him, and showed her The
sights of New York.
Battling Nelson, former lightweight
champion. said today that he was in
terested in the proposed entrance of
the professional boxing game by Ray
and wants to be his manager, teacher
and trainer.
Nelson said he could tel in two
months work with Ray whether or
not he would ever advance in the f1s-
tic sport. "And I'll tell him tho truth"
said Nelson. IF he won't do. I won't
mince my words, but if he shows class,
then will do all I can to assist him
in getting to the front"

GRID STARS TENDENCY
TO COACHING DECR|ED

BOSTON, December 24.-The ten
dency of college foot ball stars to be-
come coaches at big salaries after
graduation was decried today by Pres
ident Remson 3. Ogilby of Trinity
College, New England representative
in the National Collegiate Athletic
Association.
Pointing out that intercollegiate
competition inspire intense play in
contrast with the lack of fire that
marks contests between professional
teams. he added:
TT is small wonder that 1t is the
college stadium that is always filled
to capacity for big game.
"The difficulty comes when this in.
tense interest in college athletics is
exploited by individuals and organiza-
ton for its money value. To my
mind. the chief problem in college
a athletics today is not the endeavor on
the part of individual colleges to offer
financial or other inducements to
strengthen their teams. Colleges
with ideals do not do this. and. so far.
no means have been successful in
preventing colleges with low ideals
from accomplishing it.
THE greater problem is when pres
sure is brought to bear upon an
athlete who has made a reputation
as college amateur to use his PROV
ess later for financial gain. 1t is not
good situation when gridiron hero
gets salary running into four or
five figures as a coach. for three or
four years after gradua ton. 1t is
not a good situation when a man
goes into college athletics largely to
build up a reputation which he may
use later on professional teams. The
fact that college athletes very shortly
after completing their college season
the field of nrpfe
brings up serious problems.
I'VE may say that the influence of
such college men as have gone into
professional base ball has been for
the best interests of that sport. but
that may not apply to foot ball"

Martin, in the opinion of many ex-
perts. has needed experience more
than anything else. This showed in his
bout with Bill Brennan last spring.
Later he plastered Frank Moran good
and plenty. Then came the Keiser up
set. That was just one of those
things" says Martin, who seems to be
a modest sort of fellow. He doesn't
ask Dempsey to take him on at once,
but to pick an opponent for him with
the idea that if he beats the man Sc
lected by the champion he will get a
chance for the title. What could be
fairer than that? Dempsey will ar
rive in this city shortly after the first
of the year and then maybe there
will be some action.
There was an informal meeting of
promoters Of several small clubs to-
day to discuss the purses fighters are
demanding. The good ones want SO
much money that shoWmen find 1t
difficult to run bouts a a profit Here
is how it works out: Mickey Walker,
the Elizabeth welter. received $1,000
for his bout against Dave Shade in the
Broad A. c., Newark, the other night.
Shade had a guarantee of $1,500. The
gross receipts amounted to little
over $4,000. With the state tax de-
Quoted, the net receipts were $4.S60.
With the fighters paid. there remained
$3.50. out of which rent, attendants
and various other expenses had to be
provided for.
And Shade and Walker were mod
crate in their demands at that-that
is, they were moderate in comparison
with the sums that a lot of headline
boys ask for their services. The
meeting above referred to got no far
ther than talk, and, in fact. it busted
up" when a certain well known pro-
ducer suggested that a vacation on
fights be agreed upon. His idea was
that after a fightless period of month
or more fighters would be more mod
crate in their prices. The suggestion
was not a bad one.

dent Ban Johnson of the American

timistic over the 1922 season, but 1
am inclined to be bit skeptical.
I'VE are and have been travelling
along a fictitious posterity for the last
two or three years, and the sooner we
step down the better it will be for
the game and everybody concerned.
Next season may not be so good for
the owners. Good times has affected
their heads. and they are unconscious
ly doing base ball an almost irrepara-
BILE injury by initiating the prices on
players as they have this year. There
is likely to be slump in base ball. and

Canadians Like Base Ball
Montreal does want a ball club
very much. In other years the OBJ
lection filed against Montreal by
other International owners was that
the expense of the trip did not war
rant jump into that section of
Canada. especially as the fans did
not rally to base ball in Canada with
the same enthusiasm as they do to
hockey or. soccer foot ball.
A base ball man who knows much
about Canadian conditions says base
ball has gone ahead like a greyhound
in front of a dachshund since the war.
The French population of Montreal
became more conversant with base
ball during war days than ever be-
fore and now patronize the game al
most as well as those of other blood.
If that is the case, the future of base
ball will be brighter at Montreal.
Providence has been without Inter-
national League base ball just long
enough to want it again, but the
longer that Providence waits the bet
ter base ball will go in Rhode Is
land, because the appetite for it will
become keener.
The Jersey City club might sell it's
franchise and it might just send it
up to Canada or Rhode Island until
such time as Jersey City fans find
out what they are missing.

Fordhum College he got his fiji st pro-
fessional experience. with Akron IN
the old Ohio o-Pennsylvania League in
1910. He was with the New Haven
and Fall River teams the next year
and in 1928 played with Toledo of
the American Association. He bios
somed as big Lacquer with the
Athletics in 1914, when in thirty-five
games at second. third and short he
lad a batting average of -1s9. In
1915, in l1S games divided between
second and third bases. he boosted
his average to .225. In 1916 he slid
to Baltimore. where he performed on
both sides OF the keystone sack and
attained a mark of .292 with the
stick. This earned another trial an
fast company. this time with Gin
cinnati, and in 14S games at short
for the Reds in 1917 he batted .2oo.
He was in the Army in 1918 The fol-
lowing years proved his best. WITH
the pennant- winning Reds of 1919
Kopf attained an average of 30. In
1920 his mark fell to .24o and last
season slumped still farther. to :21s.
If Kopf comes to Washington it is
