LEONARD PICKS
GIBBONS TO WIN

CHICAGO, March 1.-When Light
weight Champion Benny Leonard passed
through Chicago last Monday on his way
from New Orleans to New York the
6ingpin OF the 13o-pounuers had few
interesting things TO say. Asked about
tha Ton Gibbons Harry Greb match in
Gsw York. March Is. Kenny old not hest
tate 20 predict that Gibbons would win,
giving as his reasons that the st. Paul
oxer is too hard a puncher, that Greb
cannot take the punishment. and that
Greb cannot sock hard enough to Sc
riously disturb the fighter who Is being
grOomed as Jack Dempsey's next oppo-
nent
The champion then went on to say that
Jack Dempsey is in an unfortunate po-
sition because Of the dearth OF good
heavyweight material and that the same
is true OF tie weller and featherweight
classes
The lightweight and bantsmweight
champions are the ones kept busy defend
ing their titles" Leonard said. There
are enough good dlightweights In the
country to keep me fighting for the next
year but until some new boy comes along,
a boxer who IS young and strong, have
no fear of losing my title.
There is plenty Of activity Ia the BAN
tam class Johnny Bun will have to put
up a great fight every time he starts to
retain his championship. There are a
number of good boys In the division, in
Guiding Pal Moore. Joe Burman, Midget
Smith Carl Tremaine, Jack Sharkey,
Pete sherman. Joe Lynch and others.
The little fellows put up fights every
time they start"

Harvard Paper Suggests
Dropping IntersectiOnal
Games to Curb Evils

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. March 1.-Drastic
measures to correct that so-called evils
attending college sport, including the
elimination Of "All America" football
elevens and the abolition of out ofterm
practice, are urged by the Harvard
Crimson. The undergraduate paper
would also ban advertising of college
games and International contests.
Expressing disagreement with the
suggestion recently made by the Yale
News that an athletic board Of control
should be formed among Harvard,
Yale, and Princeton, the Crimson says
a conference of representatives of the
three colleges would fulfil the same func-
tions as such board.
I'VE believe" the editorial says,
that the following steps are neces-
sary:
Il. Abolish Walter Camps and all
other 'all-America' mythical teams;
cut down all publicity as much as
possible.
80. Abolish ali summer and pre-
college terms practice.
80. Abolish all advertising Of any
intersectional sort of intercollegiate
contests.
Il. Eliminate as much as possible
intersectional contests.
20. So far as possible play op-
ponents of equal strength.
1.-THE matters Of subsidized athletes,
clean playing, professional coaching,
and the so-called tramp athlete are
not problems which can be successfully
dealt with by rule; no college need have
any Of these if it does not so
choose"

Proposed Match of
SprinterS ArOuSes
Sectional Interest
Flying Cop McAUister Is
Thought Worthy Opponent
of Paddock.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The fact that
California has Charlie Paddock to make
an intersectional rivalry Of the issue
leads the East to take more than ordinary
interest in the record breaking 1eat OF
Bob McAllister, the flying cop, VINO
streaked over the board floor of the
Thirteenth Regiment ArmOry in Brook-
lyn last Wednesday to new world ~
door records for 100, 100, 1870 and 100
yards.
between the two champions, although
they realize that McAllister will have 70
go to California if any such match is
made, since Paddock has announced ne
will not visit the East for competition.
There IS feeling here, however that me me
Western marvel may possibly. be lure ire
into the effete section If McAllisters rec
ord becomes any more brilliant.
One race does not make a champion,
but McAllister's performance or II 30
seconds in the 150-yard dash last week
Is mark not to be attained by any
flash in the pan runner. In running the
150-yard race McAllister passed the 100
yard mark in 04-5. the no in 10 %, the
100 in II as, and the 100 in II SO. the
These marks compare fayOrably wit the
outdoor records for the same distance
made by Charlie Paddock at Pasadena
last year. Paddock covered 100 yards In
141-5.
In addition to the fact that McAllister
was running on an indoor surface which
cop" went to scratch attired in long,
tapping trunks and had his feet weight
ed with rubber soled tennis shoes. lie
ran with an apparently awkward stride,
but finished yards ahead Of his nearest
competitor and Immediately became the
athletic marvel of the moment.
Fred Ruben OF the Amateur Athletic
Union expects great things Of the latest
wonder man. He said:
with proper training. which the Glen
coe Athletic Club no doubt will see that
McAllister gets. the flying cop seems
to have the sprintlng world ut his COM
mand. This IS not prediction that ne
will conquer Charlie Paddock, but do
think the New York policeman is the
only athlete in America today who could
give the flyer hard competition. AS to
the winner of a match sprint between
the two, conditions and breaks probably
would go a long way toward establish
ing the final decision.
Il know OF no definite plan at the
moment to try 10 bring Paddock and
McAIlister together, but I have heard
much talk on the subject, and such an
effort no doubt will be made"

'StOney' Out as Omars
Took Beating From c. of c.

While the Omars we're defeated by the
Junior Chamber of Commerce by rather
IOpsided score at Rushville, Monday. the
score itself does not explain the game.
The Junior Chamber of Commerce play
ed an unbeatable game last night, their
entire team play bordering on the SEN
sational. Their passing and floor work
was wonderful. Johnny Hennessey and
Don White played one Of the greatest
games Of their careers, scoring "a points
between them. Kinkle's guarding pre-
vented many scores and COffing brought
the ball to the forwards in great style.
Doc Campbell never played a better
game at center.
The Omsrs in the first ten minutes OF
play gained a slight lead and held it
until Stonebraker left the game on ac-
count Of Illness. Stoney was in an auto
mobile accident earlier In the evening.
After Stoney left the game, the Omars
were unable to get together and the ex-
cellent teamwork that they displayed
in the earlier part of the game was alb
sent. Commerce soon took the lead
and were never headed
The Chamber of Commerce will present
the same lineup for the second game
Of the series while the Omars witt be
reinforced by the addition Of Bill John

Stranger LelUis to

Here Next TueSddy
Former Champion to Be Per-
ntitted to Use Famous
deadlock Hold.
BY HEZE CLARK.


Ed (Strangler) Lewis will meet John
Grandovich of Lewiston, Maine, at the
Broadway Theater, Tuesday, March z,
The selecting of Grandovich as Lewis
opponent was arranged today by w. L.
Barton, Indianapolis promoter, who re-
ceived a telegram from GrandOvich ac-
cepting the terms offered in the con-
tracts forwarded by Barton.
1t was difficult to obtain an opponent
for stranger" Lewis, for Barton in
sisted that the giant heavyweight be per-
mitted to use his deadly deadlock, the
wrestling hold feared by every mat man
who opposes Lewis. The lock was barred
in the matches in which Lewis wreStled
in New York.
Lewis home is at Lexington, KY. He
is one of the most talked Of heavyweight
wrestlers in the world. His deadlock
made his famous, and the local pro-
moter knows that the followers or the
mat game in Indianapolis want to see
Lewis in match in which the famous
hold Is used.
Many of the best known heavyweight
wrestlers refused BartOn's offer to match
them with Lewis when he insisted that
the deadlock should not be barred.
In the East, John Grandovich has with
in two years become one of the best
known heavyweight wrestlers. He is a
giant weighing ODD pounds. He is "a
years old. Lewis weighs 227 pounds and
is 20 years old. The question seems to
be will Lewis. with his years Of expert
ence on the mat, be able to defeat the
younger man, who is about his equal
in weight and who is declared by many
to be a more powerful man than even
the famous stranger"
In climbing the ladder in the direction
Of the championship Grandovich has de-
feated Tom Draak of Hoboken, n. J.,
Gene Mazan of Canton, Ohio, and Jim
Wallace of Springfield, Mo, and several
other heayyweights who have appeared
in the Eastern States.
Although the Lewis -Grandovich match
is the big attraction at the Broadway
Tuesday, still Promoter Barton plans
to match two well-known welterweights
In 4 preliminary.

RED SOX TEAM
If Harry Will Stand on Pres
ent Status, Boston Club May
Show Something.
HURLERS COULD BE USED
BY DAVID j. WALSH.


NEW YORK, March The glad It'd
ings have gone out that Harry Frazee,
the arch trader, is about to rush wild
eyed into the baseball mart again and
unburden himself Of a few more em-
plOyes. The report, given on rather
sound authority, has Frazee in his usual
attitude Of dickering with another
American League club, and while ii men
ticns no names, the Red Sox owner Is
understood to have issued no strenuous
denial when the matter was called to his
attention.
Among possibilities suggested was that
the proposed trade involved the New
York Yankees. The premise is sublime
II ridiculous. The Yanks and Red SOX
have done all the trading the traffic viii
stand for the next several years, unless
they wish to do business with their
own castOffs. So that it out like the
family cat at daybreak.
For our nonessential part we think
MI Frazee would do well to thrust his
hands into his pockets and go on about
his business IN the present instance. He
has succeeded in building up the Red
SOx through mid winter trades far be-
yond their 1921 status. and any further
attempts may meet with results less
kindly. It is not vel TO force ones
luck too far, whether your particular &C
ttvtty be poker or plate

STRONGEST offensive outfits in the major
leagues with such hitters as Del Pratt.
Joe Dugan. George Burns, Elmer Smith.
Joe Harris, Muddy" Ruel and others.
The team average should be well up
around 800 and that may be regarded,
OThsnd, as being ample, sufficient and
enough
The pitching will be nothing TO write
home about and because Of this the Red
Sox are not reckoned a dangerous fac
for In the impending pennant race. Yet.
it is barely possible that rip" Collins
and Bill Piercy will realize their pO-
tentialities 10 the full this year, and in
that case the staff won't look so care
worn. Rube Pennock is one OF the best
in the game and Elmer Meyers manages
TO get by after a fashion.
But regardless Of the intolerant at
titude Of Boston fans, the Red SoX are
undoubtedly a much improved outfit.

%E NEWS OF THE DAY IN H%s J THE WORLI
Dempsey Not as Brave
as Ruth as an Actor
He Doesn't Try Singing

NEW YORK. March Jack Dempsey
is getting $4,000 a week for filling in
thirty minutes at the Hippodrome daily
with a little boxing and few wise
cracks He says he wants TO get away
from the stage and fight. Most any one
else would battle to get on the stage at
that fancy figure.
After having picked up 100000 for six
teen minutes work last July. the heavy
weight champion might be figuring now
that he is working too hard for the
money.
AS sport actors" go, however, Demp-
sey does his stage work very well. He
has Babe Ruth backed off the boards, al
though # must be said as a credit to his
bravery that Ruth had nerve enough to
attempt a song. Dempsey just talks lit
tie and does his stuff in the ring.
