New York, Dec. 13.-There were
several hatfuls Of rumors being
buzxed about among the gathered
baseball folk today to the effect
that there ara several other major
league club owners who are per-
fectly willing to retire into the
oblivion Of the general public II
they could make as handsome a
percentage of profit AZ Colonel
Huston did through sale.
All these rumors are repetitions
Of some that have gone before
They have at least the foundation
Of this much, namely. that the base
ball situation has changed and il
will continue to change. There is
not always the unbounded assur-
ance of support from the public
unless the championships can be
shifted occasionally, and there are
unquestionably many who think
that the prudent man is he who
can get out Of baseball on a rising
market, thereby proving himself te
be prudent.
sWalter Holke, who has gone from
first baserin Boston to first base in
philadelphia for the Nationals, is a

New York, N. Y, Dec. 13.-They
are playing winter golf at Siwanoy
and upon other courses where the
genial smiles of the sun have faded
into chilling hauter. Winter golf is
the final expression of sporting en-
thusiasm. It marks the activity of
a comparatively small group Of the
golfing fraternity who are not con-
tent to spend a period Of inactivity
between the close of the regular
northern golf season and the OPEN
ing of play in the south after the
holidays.
For such as these the wolf wind
bowling among the bunkers and the
patches of snow and ice that soon
will Turk In the hollows will have
no terrors. They are a hardy breed,
true sons of the Icelandic gods.
All of the players at Siwanoy
wore gloves today. One or two
kept them on Is they made their
shots, but the majority dotted them
when they reached the ball. These
were men whose passion for the
AOWS0S RO6oh0AO OkC@Wlut6I
summer-was as great, il not great
er, than their sheer love Of exer-
else In the nipping outdoors. But
with or without gloves, no man,
Injured though he be to the icy
blasts. was coming within several
strokes of his lowest. And this IL
. most conservative statement.
Within the last week, the writer
has seen these sturdy devotees at
the Merton Cricket club. Siwanoy,
Montclair and Colonial whackiag
balls with an enthusiasm that bid
tacit defiance to the unreasonable
conditions.
But soon now the lure Of the
Carolinas, Of Georgia, Alabama and
Florida draw all followers of the
ancient and honorable pastime who
have been able. to arrange about
the time and the money involved.

JOHNSON
HOOKED INTO A
BRENNAN BOUT?
Story Going the Rounds That the
IoWan Has Been Duped Into
! His Hardest Match,
BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright. 1922, by The August
New York, N. Y, Dec. 10
Hooked! That is the story going
the ROUNDS today concerning Floyd
, Johnson and his match with Bill
Brennan, slated for Jan. IL. 1t is
known, of course that Johnson's
manager and hackers have had no
+; desire to hurry the young IOwan.
The plan was to have him meet a
! number Of set-ups and SO gain ex-
, perience before going against the
/ better fighters Of his class. With
this plan in mind, Charley Cook,
who manages the westerner. de-
clined sometime ago flattering Of
fers Of matches both with Gene
Tunney and Bill Brennan.
Now, according to the story,
Johnson is regarded by the local
group of managers as an outsider
who was showing SO much promise
that it would be good thing to
have some one knock him out. So
when Chairman Muldoon of the ath-
letic commission ordered Brennan
to fight or retire and suggested
! Johnson as a suitable opponent
Brennan made sounds like q man
| frightened to death. No, he declar-
ed, none of Johnson's game for him.
1t might be said that no one under
stood just why Muldoon issued his
strange order concerning Brennan.
Brennan is not a title holder and
1T would appear to be no ones bust
ness-not even MulGoon's-wheth-
er Brennan fought or did not fight.
May Plaster Bill.
Any way, no one questions Null
doOn's honesty. So the reason he
had for issuing the Brennan order
may be regarded as sincerely in
tended. He may have been tricked
into it by the Brennan crowd. ANY
way, the order was issued. Bren-
nan acted the part of a frightened
man and thus gave. confidence to
the johnson crowd. So the match
was made. Now wouldn't it be
funny were the Iowan, to plaster
Knockout Bill? There are some
shrewd judges who say there is
more than an outside chance that
this clever. hard hitting youngster
! will turn the trick.
I That was a terrible remark that
Jack Kearns made to Gene DOYLE
when the two met to talk about
signing articles for a fight between
! Dempsey and Jess Willard. Sure, ("
said Kearns to Doyle, we're ready
to fight. Now you go and dig up q
promoter"
At this Doyle's face assumed the
! expression Of a man who has bel
his whole stack upon aces rr
against three Of a kind.
TITS the first time ever heard
Of challenger having to dig up q
promoter" he howled.
| Maybe that is because it's the
first time he ever tried to match
Willard against Dempsey.
4 Willard needs a pulmotor more
than he needs promoter. As q
heavyweight star he has been dead
to the world for years. Why waste
the time looking for promoters
