TEX RICHARD. PLANS
 BOXING INNOVATION

New York, Nov. 30-Tex Rickard, Madison, Square Garden promoter, plans a boxing innovation in 8 cam paign through which he hopes to de- velop. boxers of all ring classes and produce more formidable contenders for the recognized titles. The promoter, if he can secure the consent of the State Athletic Commission, will con- duct a series of popular priced shows in the Garden. featuring eight five round bouts between aspiring boxers whose qualifications are something of an unknown quantity because of their failure to secure bouts at local clubs. It is Richards plan to conduct one of these shows at least once a month, in addition to the regular weekly cards in the big arena. Since the commits sion limits an individual club to one show a week except for special oc- casions, it will be, necessary. for the promoter first to gain permission from the commission.
 Rickard Is enthusiastic over the pos sibilties of his plan, both for deyel- oping boxers and for stimulating in terest in the sport. In discussing the project yesterday the promoter point ed to the fact that in the Garden gym .nastum. alone there are forty or more fighters who seek matches but are un- able to secure engagements because of the promoters Jack of knowledge of the unknown, untried. boxers qualifi- cations. There are many other gymna- siums tn, the city where squads of box CTS work daily in hope of securing en- gagements at local clubs.
 If I can Induce the commission to sanction such a plan I will conduct a series of eight five-round bouts al least once every month for the pur- pose. of giving these boxers a chance to establish themselves" said Rickard Other local club managers who are seeking new and suitable talent ther would have an opportunity of view Ing, the members of the boxing army of unemployed, in action, with chances of mutual benefit to the individua boxer and the club managers. Possibly there are. many among boxers now confined to gymnasium work whC would qualify for. championshiy matches. with little activity and ex. pertence.. Unless we give these boxer.
 a chance to exhibit their abilities local patrons of the sport will be con. fronted- with the same old succession of contests between the same old rin. of boxers.
 T have not yet discussed the pro
 position with the State Athletic Com
 mission. intend to see Chairman Mui
 doom without delay and get his view on the subject. I have no idea wha
 his attitude will be. But if he sane

TANKS TO TRY OUT
 FOURTEEN ROCKIES

Spurred on by the example set by the Giants on Tuesday, the Yankees came right out recently and exposed their complete list of young players who will get tryouts in New Orleans next spring With characteristic en- terprise the American Leaguers went their rivals one better and made pub lie the names of fourten youngsters as compared with the mere thirteen of the Giants. The latter, however, an- nounced only a partial list, and after minute comparison it looks as if the recruit crop will be bigger and huskier at San Antonio than at New Orleans.
 Some of the names on the Yankee roster have familiar sound. One Of | them is that of Glenn Killinger, foot 1 ball coach in the autumn and second baseman in the summer months Also there is Hinky Haines, another Penn | State gridiron star, who finished up as an outfielder with Reading last year. Others on the list of recalled
 players are Ed Meusel, outfielder of l the Albany club; o. D. Tucker, same position, who comes back from the | New Orleans team and pitchers Cor
 man Wilson and Manly Llewellyn, the l former Sioux City product, the latter a performer at Buffalo in the past 1 summer.
 l Here are the names Of, the new rockies who will be assembled and in spected for the first time next March;
 Ben Bengough of Buffalo, star catch 1 CT of the International League, for
 whom the Tanks are said to have paid the proverbial pretty penny; outfield-
 CT Bernie F. Acton from the Wilson l (N. O club, Henry La Vallie from
 Worcester, Mass, and Elton Lang
 ford, who admits to Lubbock, Texas;
 shortstop John Wright from Chatta-
 nooga, pitchers Bill Dearman from
 White Plains, Osdar Roettger from
 Sioux City and Elbert Johnson, draft
 ed from Aberdeen of the Dakota 1 League.
 Of the three pitchers Dearman is the only left-hander. He is a semi-pro picked "up on the sand lots of the met
 ropolitan district and he made the last
 Western trip with the Tanks, without, getting into any league games. | Judging from outward appearances
 the Tanks will not have as populous camp as the Giants, who will have list well over forty.

Athol, Nov. 30-Iskander, the sen sational pacer owned by John A. Mo Gregor, has been sold to Tommy Mur- phy. He will be shipped by express to New York City in care of one of MT. Murphy's trainers, and then sent to Schenectady, N. Y., where he will receive training for q dash into the grand circuit 2:0S pace next season.
 Reported Price S17yooo
 Murphy has been after Islander for some time. The terms were not made public, but on reliable authority it is stated that the price may have been as high as $17,000.
 The pacer certainly brought the | highest price ever paved for a gelding hobbled pacer. He cost Mir. McGregor | 5000 or whereabouts and won about $S,000 the past season. which, with his purchase price, makes him most val | uable animal. He is most surely z | two-minute pacer, and several train. | CTS, including his driver Eddie Sun. derlin, have said he can, any day gt three miles, each in two minutes an, | perhaps better. He will go down thu big line next season under the guid i anc of Murphy

SKI LOSES HIS
 FIRST IN CHAMBER

Paris, Nov. 30-(By the A. P0- The fight waged in behalf of Bat tling Siki, the Senegalese pugilist, by his fellow countryman, deputy Diag- ne in the chamber of deputies has been lost by the member from Senegal. M. Diagne's attempt to have the appro- priations for physical education reduc- ed by 300,000 francs because of the ac- tion of the French boxing federation in penalizing Ski for certain mis- deeds was defeated today by vote of 40S to 136. He made a lengthy speech and his words aroused some sympa- thy, but as the appropriation is in tended only for amateur associations, a professional affair like Sikrs was declared to have no standing.
 M Diagne said that this was a sub ject of national interest; he drew at tention to the popular favor enjoyed by boxers asserting that if the crowd were invited to hear a great states man speak or witness fight between two celebrated boxers, they would rush to see the fight. Had Carpenter de- feated Dempsey, he had no doubt. the Legion of Honor would have been his reward of his prowess.
 The deputy's complaint against the boxing federation was that it had giv- eH CQusIuerdlloH to HAIlerS enllTelS unconnected with sport, such as the eccentric conduct of Ski in public plaes, Skis actions at the ringside and similar occurrences. Siki, with. | out being heard, had been condemned and yet he had through patriotism refused an engagement in Berlin. H' concluded by changing those who were l making their living out of Carpenter victories with having Siki condemned l NJ Magnot, minister of war anC pensions. declared that NJ.

 tion with the budget for national de
 fense, and the chamber could not b, l transformed into a court of appeal il
