B0n Sees Dark
 Days For 1929

Chicago, Dec. 24.-Organized baseball is sadly in need of dis erection. President Ban Johnson of the American League says so. Magnates in the majors and the minors are net using it, he de- clared, and as a consequence may have to suffer in the future unless they come out of their deliriuIn and stop paying and demanding outrageous prices for players. They are likely to have a sad awakening as early as next season.
 Proseprity in the last two years has carried them off their feet, and they are forgetting what the word prudence means. If they have any they are not using 1t, according to Ban, who ttnlfsIn over the outlook of the 1922 season.

 That's going to be the nain quiz in
 locaI boxing circles until February

 While the battle is seven weeks off she boxers will not have any idle mo- ments and will be in continuous train ing from now on. Both are anxious to win and will leave no stone un> turned to be in the best of physical shape for the fray,
 Both boxers have their friends who are insisting that each Is the better boxer. Al Jennings, Delaney's man ager, can't see no other fellow but Jack. while Joe Smith, business agent of Bogash, leans just as strongly to- ward Looey.
 Louis Bogash Is going to get the surprise of his life when he stacks up against Delaney" declared Jennings. "Bogash has the reputation of talk 1 ing punishment, but he'll never sur vive that left hand wallop of Jacks.
 Mark my word. It's a crusher, and Looey will know it,''
 ssNOShine to it,'' said Joe Smith. 'sMy spaghetti mau1er will put it all over Delaney. Delaney Is O nice fei- | low and good boxer, but he will find i he has a few things to learn before , he can claim he is Bogash's master, Delaney will think he has been through a Kansas cyclone after Bo- 1 gash gets through with him.

the principal aggressor, apparently on
the theory that a strong offence was
the best defence for Robinson's attempt
to land a long range knockout.
In the eighth round Robinson again
seemed to have decided to end the
bout. but Wilson. by falling into clinches
and closing in. had him at loss.
