John Kilonis, the husky Greek

next Wednesday night
"kilonis wrote me from Norfolk.

from busy season in the Middle
West and is in good shape. While
in Chicago he was married and he
has brought his bride with him to
Norfolk.
II was glad to get in touch with
kilonis. He is well known here in
Washington, where he has hun
dreds of friends and even more ad-
mirers. Everybody seems to like
his rough, rugged tactics on the
mat
About two years ago or SO
kilonis and ketonen met in Boston.
They were TO Wrestle to a single
fail and after three hours had gone
by without either man gaining any
advantage, the referee decided it
was a draw. Ever since then
Kilonis has tried to get another
match with ketonen, but he has
never been successful until now"
Freeman plans to stage this

their signed contracts to Shibe

Til Walker was the only veteran in
the group. The other three were
youngsters who hope to earn their
major league spurs this season.
They were Eli Schilling, a boxman
from Oklahoma; Charley Rowland,
catcher, who served on the Rocky
Mount Club Of North Carolina, and
w. S. Hartman, another backstop,
who played with Columbia UniVer-
sity last year. Both have fond
aspirations of being able to displace
Frank Buggy as the second string
catcher to Cy Perkins.

Pitchers-Eddie Rommel, Bride.

1t is no secret that the head of
the National League would prefer
to see Herzog take up the old fight
in case August Hermann, presi-
dent of the Cincinnati club, de-
mands the right to sign Benton to
contract. 1t is understood that
Hermann will force this issue at
the schedule meeting of the Ma
tional League on February Is in
New York. Heydler considers the
former New York pitcher an un-
desirable person.
Hermann has been urged to
drop Benton and avoid another
washing of some old National
League linen, but he refuses to be
muzzled. If he wins his fight for
Benton in the league councils he
may be compelled to make a de-
tense of the pitcher in court.
Herzog has engaged an able lawyer
and is ready to enter suit against
anybody at all in order to clear his
name.

SURE BETS
IN BOXING
AFFAIRS
Dempsey Will Fight Once in
America This Year and
for Richard.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-These are
safe wagers:
/. Jack Dempsey will battle just
once on American soil this sum-
mer.
2. Tex Richard will do all the
promoting.
All this conversation concerning
a 100000 offer by Harry Frazee
and a s1,OOO,00O three fight guar
antee by Tom O'Rourke has 81
fenced to mere echo.
F'razee is out of the bidding; in
fact, according to the general be-
lief. he never was in ii except for
the purpose of garnering publicity.
And Tom O'ROurke, who Chanted
so blithely concerning millions OF
dollars. is not being considered Sc
riously by Jack kearns since it
became noised about that Charlie
Stoneham and John McGraw, of
the Giants, are not backing him
financially.
That leaves Tex Richard alone
Richard, in DAY or two, will
submit a "take-it-orleave-it" offer
to Kearns. 1t is understood the
offer will not mention the name of
Wills, but will specify that Demp-
sew is to mix it with one or an
other of the white fighters to be
selected later by kearns.
The white fighters will be Will
lard, Floyd Johnson, Tom Gibbons
and Luis Firpo.
If Dempsey accepts the propo-
sition to fight under the promotion
Of Richard. then Tex will make up
his mind as regards the suitable"
opponent late in March.
BY that time Firpo and Bill
Brennan will have settled their
differences. and the same thing
goes for Johnson and Gibbons. If
Gibbons disposes of Johnson in
spectacular fashion, then it's al
most a cinch that Richard will pit
Dempsey and Gibbons against each
other, probably oN Decoration Day.
In case Johnson should beat Glib
bons and Firpo should win over
Brennan, then Richard would
match the two and have the win
ner meet Dempsey.

Give Teachers More
Pay to Match
Coaches

A loud protest over the high
salaries paid to football coaches
comes from the South. T. w.
Harris, State superintendent of
education in Louisiana, has pro-
tested against the $4,000 salary
which Louisiana State Univer-.
sit is to pay Mike Donahue
next season.
He says: Coaches should not
be placed upon a pedestal above
other teachers and should not
be paid more than the heads of
other departments of the col
leges." He pointed out that the
president of Louisiana is paid a
salary of $500.
The argument of the football
folks is that the controversy
could easily be adjusted by pay
ing the president more money.

claimed the evidence of their eyes
at the time the plot was being
carried out.
Schalk is said to have engaged
in fist fight with Claude Williams
after the second game of the series
because Williams persisted in cross
ing him in signals; yet, after he
mentioned the matter to a news
paper man and the story was pub
lished, it is our impression that he
issued a flat denial.
An expose at that time would
have been unsavory enough, but it
would have indicated baseball as
spiracy.
As it was, the denOuement was
delayed more than a year, and
meantime eight dishonest men
were allowed to play ball and
draw salaries.
The loyal members of the team
treated those under suspicion like
outcasts, but they kept silent and
