YEAR 1921 SHOULD
 BE SUCCESSFUL ONE FOR ALL ATHLETICS
Champions Jack, Benny and Joe Promise Active Year. Baseball Promoters Ex-
 peCting Good Season
By JAMES J. coRBErr

As the New Year dawns, it seems certain that sportdom is to know one of it's most prosperous and active years. Tn every branch of ath- letic endeavor those involved look for ward to an era that may even exceed the wonderful 1920. when the country went sport mad
 No year has been filled with more promise for pugilistic activity than lS2l. Jack Dempsey, king of them all IS matched for two big battles, and probably will fight several other heavy weights as a sort of tuning up" for his big clashes with Jess Willard and Georges Carpenter
 BOXERS PROMISES
 Benny Leonard has announced his intention 10 clean up the lightweight dlvlsion. If he succeeds he is going to take on welterweights and middle weights. Jack Britton, title holder of the IT pounders, will go to Europe to defend his championship there and. upon his return, can be counted to nght at least dozen battles through out the year Joe Lynch, new boss of the batamweights, says he will take on all-comers and be a busy cham pion."
 "N"itS hlIDdne plans are more or less of a mystery. He may decide to do some real fighting-and he may gu into retirement. But whether he does or not there will be considerable bat thng among the other topnotch wei .erweights. What is true of Kilbane IS equally true of Johnny Wilson. the very bashful middleweight king. Will son consistently ducks all hard matches and may continue doing so through 1921. But Wilson isn't the whole mid oleweight division and there win be a lot of lighting among the 15S pound CTS even if he is not involved.
 Every man involved in the promo tional end of professional baseball who cleaned up fortune in 1920 expects to duplicate in 1921. His hopes undoubt edly will be realized. Despite tho fact that baseball scandal in Chicago and the battling between the magnates has hurt the game somewhat there is still genuine enthusiasm among the mil lions of fans. They will turn out for the combats and every club should break well ahead of expenses.
 BIG LEAGUE RACES
 The race in both leagues should NJ thrilling. No club goes into the 1921 race top-heavy with talent. No deals were made during the winter which wrecked one or two clubs to help out others. Each team will be appreciably strengthened in 1921, but none suf- hciently so to make a runaway race of 1t. In both circuits the prospect is a tough battle all the way to the De- tober wire.
 The other summer sports such as golf. tennis. rowing, etc, surely are In for aabigger boom than ever before.

 'Yes, it's true that McGovern held Tommy Noble to draw, and that he beat Bob Hughes. McGovern has never been koncked down by any fighter, a' has lost only one decision in his last 45 or so fights concluded Billy Roux of New Orleans.
 Freddie Boorde needs no enumera- tion of his accomplishments or his abil, ltyfto fight, for he haS appeared jn jos csl rings enough for Birmingham fans to know just what they may expect when he is billed as a headliner. As to that question of which fighter has m- proved the most. Birminghamner know Boorde has improved, even since lis fight with Ashton Donza Boorde is becoming faster and more shifty with each fight.

Young McGoverh, with his manager Billy Roux, arrived in Birmingham yes terday and Immediately turned up al the Athletic club for inspection. Me Govern is fit-looking youngster and according to his manager, is in excel lent trim for his bout here tonight with Freddie Boorde.
 McGovern and Roux blew in rom New Orleans yesterday morning in high spirits and are very optimistic over McGovern's chances for a victory crer the Birmingham representative tonight.
 "McGovern was never in better
 shape" says Billy Roux. "He's im-
 proved wonderfully since he held
 Freddie Boorde to draw fin I2
 rounds almost a year ago. That's
 the matter in question now. Has
 boordc or McGOvern improved the most since their meeting last spring:

 "Also, McGovern can hit. He's two-fisted little fighter, hitting, blocking or iabbing with either hand with equal effectiveness. He's what you might call n combination fighter. Boorde can hit McGovern. no doubt, hut McGovern is certain to hit Boordc.

REPORTS CONFLICT REGARDING PRATT 4 W D 1921 SEASON

Boston, December 31-Just what Derrill Pratt, star second baseman of the New York Yankees last season. who was traded to the Red Sox about month ago, will do in regards to baseball next season is at present a matter of debate.

 The feature of the prelimlnary card will undoubtedly be the six-rouno argument between Fighting Blue o1 Birmingham and Battling Miles of Chat tanooga. Fighting Blue has a rather nifty way of putting into words his admirable intentions of slaughtering Battling Miles tonight. Here's the way he says it:

TOUCHDOWN SCORED ON AFUMBLE SHOULD NOT
 COUNT, SAYS ZUPPKE

Chicago, December 31.-Coach Robert c. Zuppke of Illinois university, attending the convention here of the National h. tercollegiate association, today advanced
 a new idea for a football rule, asserting that gain or score made by man who recovers fumbled ball should not be counted. The man who usually makes such gain, or touchdown, is one who
 might be termed "the loafer" on the team who lags behind waiting for such
 an opportunity, he said
 The man responsible for the tumble
 and the possible subsequent touchdown, is punished enough by the loss of the ball in his opinion.

JUSTICE M'DONALD TO
 TRY CHICAGO PLAYERS

Chicago December S1.--The charge under which 1t is hoped to extradite White Sox baseball players, Indicted on charges of throwing games in the 1919 worlds series, Is conspiracy, according to an announcement today from the state attorneys office Conspiracy is Ia felony, and an extraditable offense
 Chief Justice Mcdonald 1t was an- nounced, has drawn the assignment of the indicted White Sox players and others connected with the baseball ex- pose.
 It has been intimated that attorneys representing the defense will ask a change of venue in event there is no change made in the assignment of the cases before they are brought to rial.
 Judge McDonalds activity during the grand jury investigation which result ed in the indictment of the ball players, IS responsible for this attitude of the defendants' attorneys, it is said. The various tournaments on the courts and the links will furnish splendid competition and choice tidbits for those who like to watch the games rather than play them.
 All in all, 1t looks just now as if 1921 will bring to the athletic world perhaps the most prosperous and cer- tatnly the most active year in history, not merely in one branch of endeavo. but in everyone where the element of athletics figure.

TOTAL HUNTING LICENSES
1862

More hunting licenses have been
taken out this year than any previous
year, one of the deputies in the clerk
of the courts office stated. Over
three hundred more county licenses
have been issued this year over last,
and more of them being taken out
daily. The number of statewide
licenses this year is about the same as
of 1920, while the number of nom
resident licenses is more this year
than last.
To date 1852 county licenses have
been issued against something over
$500 for last year. Each county Ii
cense costs $1.10. One dollar of this
goes to the State Conservation Com
mission, while the remaining ten cents
goes to the clerk of the court as his
fee. Therefore $3,G32 is the Com
missions share of the county license
fund.
Between $50 and ITS Statewide Ii
censes have been issued in this county
this year.. Each statewide license
costs $5.1O, the $500 being the Com
missions share.
Several nonresident licenses have
been issued at the Frederick office.
This number is slightly in advance of
those issued last year. The cost of
the nonresident license is $10.5O, of
which $1,000 goes to the Commission
and so cents to the clerk of the court.
