New York Suspends
Two Boxing Managers

NEW YORK. Dec. 11.-Mickey
Curran. manager OF Phil O'Dowd.
and Harry Seeal, manager Of Danny
Lee. have been indefinitely sus-
pended by the boxing commission
because Of the strange physical con-
dition Of O'Dowd when he was
knocked out by Lee at the Common
wealth Sporting Club q few weeks
ago.
Commission representatives who
conducted an Investigation into the
ring engagement are convinced that
O'Dowd was drugged before the con-
test or during II, although they have
no positive evidence to that effect.
O'Dowd was the victim of nausea
at the conclusion of the match, al
though his physical condition was
good when he entered the arena
His illness continued for hours after
the bout. and he had stopped no
heavy blows to the body, the details
Of the match indicate.
Lee was the strong favorite In the
betting on the clash, despite the fact
that his opponent was rated very
high in the fistic world. and, among
his feats had outpointed Joe Lynch.

Nothing was too mean for Slack
to do in the ring. He became 30
cruel and mean that few fighters
dared to meet him. They didn't
mind losing, but they knew II they
were beaten it was a certainty
they would be beaten terribly.
A fighter Of the type Of Slack
would not be allowed tn exist in
the fighting game nowadays. He
would be one that would surely
incite a riot in his first battle. He
would be one that the referee
would toss out Of the ring before
a minute or two Of fighting
elapsed.
CRUELTY NOW ABSENT.
Luckily for the game, the cruel,
cold-blooded fighter, who likes to
cut up his man, is now absent.
One or two. were around a few
years ago, but they were ostra-
cized by fighters and promoters
on account Of their vicious tao
tics Fighting is hard enough on
a man without his being massa-
cred to delight the craving Of a
coward.
1t is for this reason that Slack
stood SO low in the estimation Of
the fighting public In his time.
They knew that when he fought it
was going to result in shamble
providing he was out in front. II
he lost he would stave off a beat
ing by dropping to the ground and
not arising until time was called.
This showed his cowardice, for all
cravens seek relief when matters
are going against them, and Slack
was no different than others Of
his ilk.
Slack will always be remembered
as the man who whipped Brough-
ton when the Duke of Cumberland
wagered $4,000 on Broughton.
His royal nibs was so sore at los
ing that he claimed Broughton
framed him, which was far from
the truth.
MEANNESS NEVER EQUALED.
In that battle Slack displayed a
mean trait that has never been
equaled. He directed his attack
to Broughton's eyes and never
once stopped battering them. Be-
fore the battle ended both of
Broughton's optics were closed and
the beating was so ferocious that
he never recovered his normal
sight. 1t was a tragic ending to
great fighter, but Slack took
great delight in talking about his
contemplate feat.
Compare this tale of cruelty to
the stories of present-day fights
and marvel at the difference. The
fighter of today is eager to win,
but not through cruel methods.
Every now and then you see a
fighter pleading with a referee to
stop fight, as he hasn't the heart
to hit his staggering opponent.
Humane methods now prevail,
which speaks volumes for the
change In the fighting game.

Penn Students Will
Scout Gridiron
Teams In 1923

A student scouting system
in fact, a school of scouts
which is decidedly something
new in collegiate football, has
been urged at the University
Of Pennsylvania and will be
considered by the Red and
Blue gridiron committee at an
early meeting.
Briefly, the new plan pro-
vides for eleven or twelve un-
dergraduates who know little
or nothing bout the technical
theory of football to form the
scouting school next fall.
They will be either fresh
men or sophomores, and for
the entire season will scout
Pennsylvania in each practice
and in every game.
After they have completely
demonstrated their fitness by
accurately reporting the
moves Of each man in q Red
and Blue game they will be
sent out the following season
to learn the Pennsylvania
rivals formations during
games.

Women Will Reduce
Size of Golf Fields

The problem of reducing the size
Of the field of contestants in cham
pionship tournaments in the future
has arisen in women's golf just as
IL has in mems. One of the ques-
tions before the United States Golf
Association that has occasioned
much thought during the last few
years has been how to limit the
field In the two tournaments IL con-
ducts for the men-the amateur and
the open-to those who belong"
Reduction Of the handicap limit has
been the method used TO diminish
the number Of contestants in the
amateur, while arrangement for two
qualifying rounds lone In the East
and the other in the West, the best
seventy-five scores and ties In each
section to be eligiblel In expected to
bring about the desired results In
the open.
Now come the women with 4 plan
for the reduction OF the field In
their championship to be played at
the westchester Biltmore Country
Club. Rye. N. Y, next autumn. At
the annual meeting Of the women's
committee Of the United States Golf
Association, held at White Sulphur
Springs. W. Va. following the na-
tional championship tournament.
plans looking forward to the 1923
tournament were discussed and an
nouncement is now made by Cor

HAWKS TO END

Indians Aim to Add Scalp of
Knicks to Their Belt in
Final Engagement.

ID EFORE the Mohawks finally
put away their football
togs, they want to hang one
more scalp to their belt, this be-
langing to the Knickerbocker
team, Of Georgetown, which sew
eral weeks ago held the Indians
to a scoreless tie.
That done, the battling Indians
may rest in peace until the cam
paign In started next fall to win
back their championship title from
the Mercury A. c. The Mohawks
and Knickerbockers will clash Sun
day at Union Park, at ESQ o'clock.
The Mohawks have come back
to life with q vengeance as all
were convinced when they trimmed
Jack Hegarty's Georgetown A. C..
eleven last Sunday.
In that game the Indians put in
all the offensive pep that was lack
ing in most of their other big
games Of the year. 1t was a clean
cut victory scored over a team
which a few weeks before. had
battled the INTO a standstAl in a
scoreless duel.
The changed spirit Of the Mo-
hawk team was brought about. 1t
is believed. by the licking taken
! from Mercury and by the coaching
of Josh Licarione. who has been
putting lots Of drive in the Indians
practice.
Even though defeated, the Mo-
hawks are big drawing card on
the sandlots, judging by the crowd
that turned out on q bitter cold
day to see them battle the George
town A. c. Any sort Of weather
should find Union Park well filled
when the Indians take on .he
Knickerbockers q second time.
The Knickerbockers have lost
only one game. being defeated 8
