Mission Boy and
Skookum to Race
Sunday Afternoon

The two fleetest OF all the racing
greyhounds quartered at Mid-Con-
tinent park will contest for honurs in
special race Sunday afternoon. Il
was announced last night by John
Shaughnessy. secretary Of the Mid.
Continent Racing association.
Mission Boy and Skookum. both
owned by l.. y. Freeman. will be in
quarter mile race. Whether II
Will be the match between these two
or whether four other dogs will ba.
put In had not been decided.
While Mr.. Freeman owns both
dogs the rivalry between the two ls
none the less keen, because each has
a large following among greyhound
fans. Mission Boy always has been
considered the greatest race dog in
the world, but Skookum's wonderful
performances, easy victories in every
start, have gained for him a large
following. There are many fans
who believe Skookum will defeat
Mission boy at quarter OF a mile
just as sure az they run.
IL II is decided TO open up tho
race for six dogs II Is probable that
Sunburn, one OF the most consistent
performers at this meeting, will be
entered. IL also is possible that
Jesserue may start.

Buck Weaver Asks Another

CHICAGO, Jan. t3.--An echo Of
the t919 world series scandal was
heard today when II became known
that George tBucb Weaver. for
mer Chicago white Sax third base
man, had personally appealed to
Judge kenemw NJ. Lands for rein

peal was "a personal one and not u

the baseball commissioner, the third
basemAn reiterated his innocence
and told story which for many
months has been known to a few Of
his personal friends but which has
never been madefpnblic.
Weaver, II Is said declared that
he was approached by white Sox

"Buck' was offered $4,000 as his
share n he agreed to LAY down"
Weaver at that time had Just
opened drug store on the south
side and needed capital. he Is un-
derstood to have told Judge Lands.
Thinking over the proposition he
found himself facing three possible
courses OF action:
/. To accept tho bribe and help
tkrOw the series.
70 To refuse the bribe and tell
Charles A. Comiskey, owner OF the
Sox, OF It.
3. To refuse the brlbc and say
nothing. thus avoiding the odIum
that attaches to one who Switches
on a friend.

neither the power nor endurance to

THE bout between Dempsey and
Carpentry last July In Jersey City

sey. ! cannot imagine that the pu'b-
lie would support such match.
There Is nothing In y Carpenters
showing to Indicate that he would
be better In a second meeting.
II have Carpenters and Des-
camps assurance that they will re-
turn to this country early In March
for the match with Tom Gibbons.
The latter should make an excellent
opponent for Georges and an inter

PROMISES MUCH
Dean and Lincoln Should
Furnish Some Thrills
> for Fistic Fans

Louis Newman. OIL city a. G..

the best semi-windup yet offered in

round lightweight scrap between
Freddy Lincoln OF Fort Smith and

offered as the appetizer just pre-
battle at the Convention hall
Wednesday night.
This bout IL being advertised az
for the lightweight championship OF

the rival Differs are to be given any
credence II Is properly labeled. Lin
coin has beaten Mickey Ferris, who
showed with Jack Hurley at the last
O. G. a. G. program, and has boxed
Is rounds With Pal Moran. the New
Orleans lightweight who some time
back was considered one of Leon
ards leading opponents. Dean is
under the managerial wing OF Chick
johnson. Kansas City. who also
pilots Harvey Thorpe. johnson be-
lieves he has a real conner In Deau,
and he is letting his protege box a
semi-windup more to get him intro
duced to the Tulsa fans than for
the purse offered.
In letter to Newman. johnson
said Dean was training carefully for
the fight. He added: "If Lincoln is
as good as you say he Is you surely
will see some fight when the two get
together"
Newman signed Lincoln for the
show first. He then had the pick
of Pewee Martin, Mickey Farris,
Jack Hurley. frankie Tucker and
Terry Long, as an opponent, but
passed them all up to get Dean.
Lincoln and Dean win be here
Monday to conclude their training
and give the fans a view of their

the seventh and punish~d Lcvinsky
with several hard body blows. The
veteran made Tunney vince In the
ninth when he shot three straight
rights to his opponents head, cut
ing his eye with one Of the blows,
Tunney resumed his body assault In
The tenth aud LeVlnsky appeared to
weaken under the blows, Tunucy
punished the battlor In the last two
rounds, but hts blows seemed to lack
sufficient force to down his older
opponent,
when LevInsky heard the Judges
verdict he walked TO ruuney's cor
ner, embraced the new champion,
and said:
Garry on, soldierl The American
title Is safe In your hands for long
