Work Of Completing Base
Ball Organization Must Rush.
Many Big League Clubs to
Train in Dixie.

When the needed amount of stock
shall have been subscribed to place
in working condition the Dallas
amusement association there should
be another occasion to rejoice. The
work of organizing the Dallas Black
Giants Base Ball club into strong
machine to hold its own with such
clubs as will evade the Texas League
health this Spring, will necessitate
much thought and action in a short
space of time.
The desired amount of money
must be raised at once if Dallas
fans desire to see professional base
ball here the coming season.
Among some of the things due
to receive immediate attention, is
securing necessary playing material
to fill in the gaps that are weak,
park deal to be closed, securing new
base ball uniforms and many other
features we pause to mention.
With the influx of big league clubs
coming south base ball interest will
be created early, and if the Giants
are prepared to meet the situation
in early Spring, much financial
strength will be accumulated.
Aside from the New York Cubs
and Fosters American Giants, Ne
gro clubs, there will be many of
major league (white) clubs to train
in Dixie.
Every major league team ex-
cept the Philadelphia Athletics has
picked a 1922 training camp. The
Athletics were at Lake Charles, La,
last season, but won't return there
and a report that they would get
in condition at Montgomery, Ala,
was denied by Connie Mack. The
final selections as made are as fol-
lows:
American League-Yankees, New
Orleans; Indians, Dallas, Texas;
Browns, Bogalusa, La; Washington
Senators, Tampa, Fla; Red Sox,
Hot Springs, Ark; Detroit Tigers,
Augusta, Ga; and White Sox, Sc
gum, Texas.
National League-Giants. San An
tonic. Texas; Pirates, Hot Springs.
Ark; Cardinals, Orange, Texas;
Brooklyn Robins, Jacksonville, Fla. !;
Boston Braves, st. Petersburg, Fla. !;
Chicago Cubs, Catalina Island, CAL. /;
Cincinnati Reds, Mineral Wells, Tex
as; Phillies, Leesburg, Fla.

may go to California to train in

IN WORLD OF SPORT
OFFERS JACK DEMPSEY 100000 TO FIGHT HARRY Wills

BY International News Service.
Denver, Col, Jan. 5.-Now that
a heavyweight championship fight be-
tween Jack Dempsey, the titleholder
and Harry Wills has again been
brought to the front, Jack Kanner,
Denver's midget boxing impressario,
is out with proposal to stage the
match in the Mile High City. Kan
ner declares he is ready to hang
up a purse of 100000 for twenty
round decision battle.
While the majority of recent
fights staged in Denver have been
state law permits bouts of twenty
rounds duration.
"As matchmaker and an official
of the National Athletic Club of
Denver" Kanner said, 81 am ready,
even anxious to put on a Dempsey
Wills battle for the heavyweight
championship. / have sufficient
financial backing for such a bout
and our club has a lease on the
Stockyards Stadium, where the ia
cilities are the equal of anything
anywhere in the United States. The
Stadium has a seating capacity of
$4,000, with space for sveral thou
sand additional temporary seats
available.
81 have opened negotiations with
the managers of both Dempsey
and Wills and already have received
assurances from Paddy Mullins,
Wills manager, that his fighter will
meet Dempsey here on any terms
that may be arranged.
81 have seen both Dempsey and
Wills in action many times, and
along with the opinion of many fol-
lowers of boxing, 1 believe that
Wills is the only man in the ring
today who can be classed as a
worthy oppoent of the worlds cham
pion."
Hammer has been interested in
pugilism for the last fifteen years,
and for the last twelve years he
has been following the sport as pro-
moter and manager.
Here in Denver, he promoted sue
cessfully a number of the biggest
battles staged within the Rocky
Mountain region.
have never staged heavyweight
championship battle" said Kanner,
THAT is one reason why 1 am es-
pecially anxious to put on Demp-
sy-Wills contest. Another reason Is
that I believe il would be the big
gest fight ever staged in che world
certainly a better and more even
fight than the battle Of the cen
fury between Dempsey and Carpen-
tier last July. Dempsey as every one
knew, outclassed the Frenchman,
but should he get into a ring with
Wills he would meet a man who
not only would be his equal in
every way, but who also might de-
feat the champion"

cheerful amidst the viccissitudes OF

ters of the gospel, who have been
honored beyond calculation and limi-
tation by the people who have shar-
ed their meagre earnings with the
minister. Just think of the many
superanuated preachers, think! of
the parssonages and churches erect
ed by the heroic and self sacrificing
minister and then so ne unworthy
preacher to occupy these personages
and churches and some of them sit
within the building erected at the
cost of many sacrifices yea almost
the lifes blood of that heroic man,
and plot, figure and caucus Against
the humble minister who by his
sacrifices made it possible and easy
for such selfishness and ungratitude,
shame on such ingratitude and such
ingrates. ct us honor those who
have done the work, for such COM
mendable advancement and the won
derful progress made by the sacri-
fees of such dear men. Sunday we
