VILLA BEATS MARTIN
Filipino Flyweight Champion Rests Terry Martin of Providence in Bout 1t Garden Last Night.

at Garden Last Night.
 New York, Dec, 3o.-Pancho Villa Americas flyweight champion, added Terry Martin, Providence bantam weight, to his list of vanquished rivals last night in Madison Square Garden After IS rounds of spectacular box ing, Villa received the decision oi Judges Tommy Shortell and Billy Nc Partland and Referee Patsy Haley The verdict, while eminently fair, did not meet with the undivided approval of the crowd After the spontaneous outburst of acclaim which always meets a decision in local boxing. the house resounded with a storm of dis approval, evidently from the support CTS of Martin who were numerous in the crowd which witnessed the fight
 Villa had harder time winning than he or his admirers anticipated The little brown skinned battler con ceded handicaps in height, weight nnd reach to his rival, and for time these disadvantages threatened the undoing of Villa. The excitable little title holder however, rallied strongly after a poor start and won by a clear margin!
 With the single exception of the ninth session, Villa, waging a spec tacular battle, carried every round after the fifth. Martin won the ninth and the Providence lad was entitled to the first, third and fourth.

ORIOLES STARS
 LEAD IN FIELDING Bishop and MciVoy, Are
 Best in Their Positions

New York. Dec. so.-one of the reasons why the Baltimore Orioles of Jack Dunn won the International league pennant is found in the fact that, in addition 10 the batters being able to hit the ball and the pitchers to pitch the ball, the fields can field Ithe ball.
 . In the leagues fielding averages for |1922, which President John Conway Toole gave out for publication yester- day, 1t is worthy of note that Bal timore player led in each of three vitally important spots.
 Bolcy Is the Glass. Max Bishop topped the second base men, Joe Boley led the shortstops and Jack McAvoy the catchers In all other departments except at third base, now guarded by our old friend Fritz Maisel, once a 'seven-day wonder with the Yankees, the, Orioles were strong so strong that they lead the circuit lin team fielding. The Baltimore club can read it's title clear as a champion ship team.
 Eddie Onslow, retiring Toronto manager headed the first basemen in the league. Joe Bottomley, who has been grabbed by the st. Louis Car dinals, is in second place. Andy And erson of the Toronto Leafs, leads the third basemen, and of the outfield- CTS who played through the entire season Donald Donelson of the Jer- sey City club had the best percentage. Jean Dubuc, however, once pitcher for the Giants, played in 56 games with out single error, which is some going.
 Had Perfect Records.
 Six pitchers had perfect fielding averages. Fred Carts of Reading handled 7s chances in 3S games, while Ed Tomlin of Buffalo, Harry Heitman of Buffalo, Al Schacht of Reading, Bob Carruthers of Jersey City and Dick McCabe of Buffalo all had rec ords of 1000. They participated in fewer games than Carts and did not accept so many chances.

Of course, 1t is going to take several weeks of practice for me to determine exactly how much I have lost and how much of my former stuff will be able to regain, but must say lam far more hopeful than be- lieved would be possible after the first days play. was gripping my rac- quet with the finger which was ann putated and I think I did it very well"

DEMPSEY OFFERED MATCH IN ENGLAND
London Promoter Is Angling for Jacks Services Next May

New York, Dec, So.--Prospects of Jack Dempsey, worlds heavyweight champion, being seen in an indoor bout this season are fast disappearing. Tex Rickard. Madison Square Garden promoter, who entertained hopes of conducting a match in which the titleholder would defend his honors, yesterday declared that he had prac- ticaily decided to forego a Dempsey bout until the summer. Whether Dempsey would then be matched for a battle against Harry Wills, negro challenger for the title, the promoter refused to state. This, Rickard said, depended entirely upon the demands of the public. If a Wills match was desired Rickard said he would be only too glad to conduct such bout. Rick ard took pains, however, to state that he had not as yet taken any definite step in this direction. In the event that a Dempsey-Wills match Is drowned upon. Rickard said he hoped to conduct title match between the champion and his foremost white challenger.

Dozen Backstops Caught Over 100
 Games in Majors in 1922

New York, Dec. so.--Being eaten or in tho big leagues is far different from what 1t used to be. Nowadays tho job calls for a great deal more work.
 Tn the old days a receiver was only axpected to toll every other day or ao. and the backstopping duties were generally about equally divided be- tween two men with third filling Tn occasionally.
 few season back 1t was more or less of m oddity for catcher to work in 100 games during the cam paign. Anywhere from 60 to 7o con tests was the usual average. But times have changed until now the ma jority of the clubs depend almost sole ly on one catcher to do the bulk or the receiving
 Catchcrs Work Hard.
 Even a second-string backstop, valuable and necessary asset to team, seldom gets much of an op- portunity to show his wares. Ob- viousiy the third receiver, if there is one, warns the bench for the major portion of the season, or else warns up the pitchers in the bull pen.
 During the 1922 pennant race in the American league there were no less than seven catchers who per- formed in 100 games and over, Washington being the only club whicf. failed to place man in this class, though Charity came within four tits of the century figure. toiling in s6 games. An injury to his arm nlone kept Charity out of the century cir cle.
 Perkins Was Iron Man.
 Cy Perkins of the Athletics dupli- cated hts 1921 feat of being the real work horse" donning the mask and chest protector in 14s frays. Inci- dentally the Mackite beat his previous high mark by seven contests.
 Ray Schalk of the White Sox, holder of the honor on other, occa- slons. ran second with 142 bouts to his credit, and Hank" Seyereid of the St. Louis Browns was third with 117. Then came O'Neill. Cleveland, 138; Schang, Yankees, 124; Bassler, Detroit, 121, and Ruel, Boston, 11s.
 In the National loop, five receivers went over the 100 mark, O'Farrell of the Cubs leading the field with 12S games. Henline, Phillies, was second with 125. followed in turn by Aim smith, Cardinals, 11s; Gooch, Pitts burgh. 1O5, and Snyder, Giants, 1o4.
 Hargrave. Cincinnati, and Goydy, of the Braves, just missed the select circle, the Moran catcher participat- ing iii 98 battles, and Soldier Hank" in 92. Brooklyn was the only team not using one catcher in at least 90 games.

S25,000 FOR CONTRACT
Jack Curley Pays a Record Price to Acquire the Management of Sailor
 Friedman, Chicago Boxer.

New York, Dec. 30.-Boxing man agers are following the example Of the baseball magnates in selling the services of brilliant performers and it looks as though Dick Curley had set high mark in the matter of pur- chase price. He gave $25,0oo for the contract for the services of Sailor Friedman, whose former manager was Hirshic Miller of Chicago.
 Curley has pitched his tent in this city and intends to get on the trail of the lightweight and welter champions. At the same time he is willing to make matches with any boxers in those two classes Friedman is the chap who stopped Eddie Fitzsimmons in jig time and also mauled Bobby Barrett.
 Friedman weighed 146 when he stopped Fitzsimmons, and he scaled lss when he trimmed Barrett. It is questionable if Friedman can get down to 1855, but if he can he will prove to be the most dangerous man in two classes
