Los Angeles, Jan. 12.-Don't be at

Jack Kearns, manager and pal of
the champion, has the idea of Eu-

Dempsey-Kearns outfit grab off an
idea they usually go thru with it.
Scarcity of opponents for Dempsey
in America is what started Kearns

Will Get CHANCE
N. Y. Boxing Commission to
Give Johnny Wilson Hearing.
Middle Champ Now Finds Self
Barred in Six States.
BY LACK YEIOCK


New York, Jan. 12.-Johnny Will
son, middleweight champion. will be
given a chance to square himself with
boxing officialdom next week.
The New York state boxing COM
mission which suspended Wilson for
refusing to carry out a contract to box
Harry Greb in Madison Square Gar
den, has consented to hear Wilson
case next Tuesday, it was announced
today
That Wilson will do everything he
can to have the suspension against
him lifted by the New York commits
sion is a foregone conclusion, for as
box in six states where the game now
flourishes These states are New
York, New Jersey, Ohio, Minnesota,
Connecticut and Massachusetts.

I'll put Wilson on with the best
n1iddleweight available, providing he
will assure me that there will be no
more monkey business said Rickard
today. but 1 am not going out of my
way to get him now. He'll have to
come to Richard"
If the New York boxing commits
sion lifts the suspension from Wilson,
other state commissions will do like
wise and in this event. business should
begin picking up. Wilson, it is said,
needs several fights, as he is hard up
for cash and this despite the fact that
he has earned quite a handsome sum
in the ring. 1t is whispered about the
middleweight title holder that he lost
his bank roll in speculation and must
row come forward and defend his title
to make all ends meet

Chicago, Jan. 12.-George C"Buck'O
Weaver has made a personal appeal
to Judge Kenesaw NJ. Lands. commits
sioner of baseball, for reinstatement,
it became known today.
The Judge has taken the plea under
Amusement and will render decision.
Weaver called at Judge Lands office
a week ago last Friday. He laid his
case in fun before the judge. ---
It was the first time any of the So
called black sox'' had the temerity
to appear before the famed jurist.
Weavcr's Call Admitted.
No announcement has been made at
the baseball commissioners office OF
Weaver's call. It was admitted there
this morning that the former White
Sox third baseman had called and for
mally applied for reinstatement, but
further information was denied.
Judge Lands was not at his office
today. having been laid up with Sc
we're cold all week Weaver declined
to discuss the matter.
It is known, however, that Weaver
and Judge Lands were in conference
for about an hour, during which time
Weaver told him in the presence OF
court stenographer the story he. did
not tell the jury which indicted Weav-
er and seven other former White SoZ
for alleged conspiracy to sell out" the
1919 world series. All of the indicted
men were acquitted, altho several of
them had made confessions of guilt.
Contends His Innocence.
Weaver had always contended he
was innocent, that he was the goat"
He was the only defendant who an
nounced Immediately after the trial
that he would attempt to get back in
to organized baseball His explana-
ton since the trial of his failure to
take the stand in his defense and re-
veal how he was the goat" as
claimed, was that he was not per-
mitted to do SO by his lawyers who
were also attorneys for others of the
players.
At Commissioner Landis' office It
was stated that Ray Canon, of Mil
waukee. attorney for Oscar (Happy)
Felsch. and, incidentally, attorney for
Jack Dempsey. had not called to see
the judge as reported he would do,
with reference to an effort on Felsch's
part to collect $500 he alleges is due
him from the White Sox for past serv-
ices. F'elsch is now a carpenter in
Milwaukee.

in his brother-in-law's drug store in

Unanimous is the agreement that
football has reached as near a state
of perfection as possible.
But basketball is coming in for its
share of the revising and changing Of
rules and penalties
Close students of the game are be-
coming alarmed, at least in print,
concerning the precarious state in
which basketball is entering, due, they
say, to the inadequate rulings for free
throws. penalties. etc.
In a statement which sounds logical
enough DR.. Edward Fauver of Yves
leyan college, Connecticut. laments
the custom of allowing teams to win
by fouls committed by opponents.
In other words, free throws allowed
by fouls have won games and Fauvel
contends that this method is decidedly
obsolete.
He would allow three points for a
goal from the floor, two points for i
personal foul, and one point for q
technical
Also, dribbling would be stricken
under Fauver's idea, and used only
when preparatory to the tossing of a
basket. In this manner, he believes
a passing game of much faster speed
would be assured.
Undoubtedly the above quotation
contains logic and reasoning.
Games have been decided many
times in the Kansas conference mere
ly by the points massed by one team
from free losses given as penalty foT
fouls committed.
