This DOpester Explains
How Giants Would Have
Saved Money on Hornsby

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Here's a new angle
10 the record offer made for Rogers
Hornsby:
Incredible as it may seem, one base
ball man who heard the inside Of things
during the gathering Of magnates here
last week figured IT out that while the
New York Giants offered $3.50, 600 or $500
tanned him for practically nothing had
that the star would have cost still less
had be, been bought for a half million
dollars
1t was first pointed out that the offer
was made before the year 1920 had ended
AS every one knows, the Giants had a
tremendous season last year. Naturally
the excess profits tax would take a big
chunk for the Government But the club
was entitled to charge OF any expense
connected with the running OF its bust
ness. Money paid out for the purchase
NQf Hornsby or any other player. would
ne expense.
Suppose the club made a proft Of
100000 or $4,000 last season, which
may be too big a guess or too small
TN that profit the Government would
take a huge slice. Suppose $1,000 or
even S3Oe 600 could have been spent for
Hornsby and charged as expense. Not
nearly so large a per cent of what was
left wou'l go TO the revenue collector.
The difference might have been close to
the amount offered for the star ST.
Louis would have had to fork over some
of the purchase price to Uncle Sam, how
ever.

SCARLET-TIGER
FRAY TONIGHT
Both Teams on Edge and
Confident as Big Clash
Is Staged.

CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind. Jan. 19.--
The Little Giants of old Wabash and
the Tigers of De Paw will hold the at
tention of HoosieFdom tonight when
they don their basket ball armor and sail
into action on the Wabash court.
There are several points of interest in
tonight's battle, but chief among the
number are two big ones, the intense RI
valry between the two institutions and
the decided bearing the game will have
on the collegiate court championship Of
Indiana.
With dopesters throughout the State,
Wabash Ia the favorlte to win, but with
the students of Wabash and De Paw,
and coaches and members OF the TWO
teams, 1t appears as though both are IN
the front line when victory chances were
passed out, and with them the game VIII
not be considered won and lost until the
last blast of the referees whistle Is
heard.
Coach Vaughan and his Wabash crew
today stood ready for the restest going

and Mendenhall and Young, guards, will

line ups are regular in every shape and
form, and there is nothing to Keep every
member Of both teams from playing the
best basket ball they have in them.
4 few days ago the Tigers were in

but Coach Buss pulled them around IN

LONDON, Jan. 19.-Harry vardon and
Edward Ray, the two famous British

If they come over this year for our

do, said Nardon, Il do not see who is
going to beat them. In two years time
Jones ought 70 be nothing less than a

There is no amateur In this country

description | can give of his golf is that
he plays all his shots exactly like

che same-upright. compact and without
a bink in IT. He is only about feet
inches in height. but he hits the ball tire
nendOusly hard; in fact, just as a fully

We had big galleries everywhere. much

IL has been stated in American news

WORLDS TITLE
BOUT STILL ON,
RICKARD SAYS
Promoter Denies Report of
Break Over Forfeit Money
for Big Bout.
SAYS BANK HOLDS 1T

NEW YORK. Jan 19-Rumors that
the Dempsey Carpenter fight for the
worlds heavyweight championship had
been called of by the promoters were
emphaticaliy denied today by Tex Rick
ard
Nothing to it," said Richard when
informed of the report, the rumor Is
prepOsterOus.'
According to the story PUT in circula-
ton here the promoters called off the
match because the boxers had failed to
deposit forfeit money in the sum of SJ0,-
COO each.
All forfeIts have been posted accordinS
TO contract with the Central Union Trust
Company here. said Ricksrd. Il can not
imagine where reports 10 the contrary
came from, but I can say that the terms
of the agreement have been lived up to.
According to Richard the bout will be
staged in July. ANY idea OF staging 1t
in March, as provided for under the
contract, was given up some time ago,
he said. The promoters have until March
1 TO name a site for the battle and
may stage it Oh any date between May
20 and July 4.
THE action of the State boxing com
mission in putting 4 limit on prices for
boxing contests apparently precludes t1e
possibility of holding the match In New
York City, as originally planned, Rick
ard said. But we have received several
good offers both from Canada and Eng
land, aid the bout is certain to be held
in one Of those countries in July, prOba-
bly, on Saturday afternoon, July 2.
Jus at present the best offer we
have received Is from Toronto. You
probably will hear all sorts OF rumOrs
about the contest being called off, but
don't relieve any of them
