Perhaps one OF the most unique

But Joe couldn't be stopped With

Joe surely was In a class BY himself.
And there wasn't ever anybody

Hank God Bacsop Doped Make Exit From Big
Jack Dempsey Wants the
Moon for Next Fight

champion must get one-third of his
purse and the remaining two-thirds
must be handed over before he steps
into the ring.
The New York commission ruled
some time ago that no guarantees
would be allowed in the State and
that all boxers would have to work
on a percentage basis. If the COM
mission insists upon prying into the
actual arrangements for the next de-
Tense Of his title, Dempsey will agree
to work for so per cent of the gross
receipts, it was learned.
Dempsey, it is also understood, is
not enthusiastic over the idea of a
decision fight if one of several con-
tenders is named as his opponent. He
would rather work in New Jersey or
have the no-decision prevail in New
York, but that, Of course, is impossi-
BILE under the law.
Although it established a record,
Jack Kearns always has maintained
that he and Dempsey got none the
better Of the bargain when Tex Rick
ard gave them $500, 900 for fighting
Carpenter
There wasn't anything near $780,
600 when he finished paying off,
Kearns always has said.

Carney got six field goals, five in the

his legs off chasing Franklin dribblers.
Vandivier's sure shooting from the

out Of twelve on free throws. The
game was handled by stan FEEBLE, ref

BY HENRY l.. FARRELL
United Press Sports Editor.

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Jack Demp-
sey will not consider drawing on a
glove for any kind of a real contest
for less than $500, 900. When he starts
talking terms with Tex Richard he
probably may ask more.
Dempsey and Kearns are to be here
next week to discuss the subject with
Richard and they already have made
up their minds on what they are going
to demand.
If Richard is allowed to arrange a
big contest in New York where a top
price of $25 can be charged Dempsey
will ask for about $3.50 900. If the
fight is staged in New Jersey where
the law limits admission prices to
SIS, the heavyweight champion will be
content with $500 900.
Before terms are discussed, Demp-
sey will ask the promoter to deposit
about $4,000 to prove that he is not
merely looking for publicity.

ers that ever EraCed the National
League. If it is true that Gowdy is
to pass out, the National League viii
lose a great character.
Hank GOwdy was a raw recruit
when he Joined the Giants in 1910. He
didn't make much of an impression
on McGraw and when the opportu-
nifty came TO arrange a trade with
Boston for Charley Herzog. Gowdy
was showed along in company with
Art Bridwell and a bundle of cash.
GOwdy Went to Buffalo
Hank didn't larry long in Boston.
He was released to Buffalo in 1913.
He had promise but lacked experience
and polish.
Gowdy came fast at Buffalo. After
a year he was brought back to Bos-
ton, and won undying fame in one
seasOn-1S14. His success that year is
history. probably forgotten by many.
The Braves of 1914 produced the
biggest upset in baseball history. -Bos-
ton won the National League Pen
nant that year by coming from last
place in July TO first at the close of
the season, stopping New Tork's rec
ord of three straight remnants.
Then the Braves proceeded to es-
tablish a world series record by tax
ing four straight games from the
Athletics, regarded as an invincible
team.
Hank Gowdy emerged from that
series the greatest individual hero in
the history Of the baseball classic.
His handling Of the Boston pitch
ers was perfect. With a thorough
knowledge Of every batter on the
hard-hitting Athletics, Gowdy so
called signals that AIack's great team
had a batting average Of only .1T2-
Gowdy's offensive contribution con
sisted of the highest batting average
ever compiled by a player who took
part in every game. It was .545,
Cowdy making six hits in elevent
trips to the plate.
His six hits, all of them timely, in
CIuded one single, three doubles, one
triple and a home run.
When the United States entered
the World War, Hank Gowdy was the
first major league player to enlist He
made a most enviable record over
there.
Gowdy has been a distinct credit to
baseball on and of the field. His pass
ing from the majors viii be a real
loss.
