Gus Bezenah, Former
Pug, Is Almost Blind

Fighters pay In many ways for the
glory that is theirs while they are
in their prime. Tho maulings that
they get while In the ring, and even
While in training, eventually tell on
them and the physic, their stock In
trade, breaks down.
The most recent boxer to come to
notice in a broken-down condition Is
Gus Bezenah, Cincinnati, who several
years ago promised to become lead
ing light in the pugillstic world.
Gus was no scientific boxer, but
then he never pretended to be. He
hi in the days when a slugging
match would draw bigger crowd
s.4.n Il match between Tom and Mike
Gibbons with both In their prime.
And fought according to the desire
of the public.
As aresult Gus stacked up against
some fast. hard. hitting boys and
sometimes he took good whaling.
Those beatings In those days bothered
him not at all. IL he had been on
the winning end OF the purse they
bothered even less.
Now comes the time to pay. His
money all gone, Gus finds himself
up against It. Ills eyesight is almost
gone. lie is totally blind In one eye
and the sight has almost left the
other.
Friends of former days have or
gafilzed a fight program to be held
this month In an effort to raise money
to send Gus to place where he can
get proper medical attention. That
is the only thing that many fighters
have to look forward to. the aid of
friends at the end.

Harry Wills Given
Chance to Fight
Jack Renault
Dusky Challenger Can Show
What He Has TO Use Against
Jack Dempsey. -

New York. Nov. 10.-Harry Wills
has been offered another opportunity
TO prove his contention that he Is
as good as ever. The New Jersey pro-
moters would like to match him with
Jack Renault.
Here is an excellent chance for
Wills to demonstrate his ability
against an opponent of some stand
ing. No doubt Tex Rickard would
like to take over this morsel for his
Palace OF Swat. but Wills foolishly
has placed Rickard on the blacklist
as far as making any money for the
promoter is concerned. The negro
believes that Rickard was one of the
important cogs in the machinery
which kept him away from a match
with Jack Dempsey. and for this rea-
son he will have nothing to do with
the Garden promoter While Rickard
never expressed any wild desire 10
put on a Dempsey-Wills match, it is
doubtful IL he ever went to any great
lengths to keep these two fighters
apart. unless arranging the Dempsey
Firpo affair could be considered as
such.
With the Garden removed as a site
for a Wills match. the next best
place seems to be New Jersey.
Renault should furnish enough op-
position for the fans to get a line on
Wills ability. II Harry is as good as
he claims TO be, he should have little
difficulty with either of these fighters.
Renault Is particularly anxious to
take on Wills. Ever since the
Canadian met II fighters/in a row.
whom he toppled over without much
trouble, he has been on Wills trail.
as he figures decisive victory over
the negro would put him in line for
match With Dempsey. which he
claims is his main objective Just at
present. While johnson has not
hurled any defies in the dusky bat
tiers face. he did tell few friends at
Madison Square Garden the other
night that he was perfectly willing
to meet Wills IL the proper oppor-
tunity presented itself
Renault seems the more anxious to
fight Wills and Is firmly convinced
that the negro would give him very
little trouble.

greatest American favorites, Ear
Caddock, will be missing. The for,

gave him wealth and fame.
Caddock, as is generally known
comes of fine American stock. He
had the advantage of an excellent
education and rose to be a worlds
champion wrestler. He served his
country during the world war, was
gassed while in service and when he
returned was never again the Cad

Life had been kind to Caddock In
many ways. His earnings q

with expulsion from eastern tracks
because his horses ran so erratically.
The man was interested in several
books" at the track where his horses
performed and 1t was thought that he
played both ends against the mid
die" That Is the thing these men
who are fighting for the Innovation
want to do away with.
II the stewards should be weak and
timid they would do more harm than
good. Many OF the customers know
enough about horses to be able to ten

pie would be disgusted II a crooked
owner or trainer was not dealt with
at once and would spread their dis
satisfaction.
Should this ruling be put into effect
the stewards would have to be both
strong willed and conscientious in
their duty. But 1t would help the
racing game to become one of the
greatest sports in the world today.

Spring Training
Camp a Mystery

New York. Nov. lot Is pretty
well settled that the Giants will not
go to San Antonio for their spring
training in 1924. Instead. the Yankees
may go there. Ed Barrow, one OF
the Yank managers, states that the
Higgins tribe has three places un-
der advisement, New Orleans, San
Antonio and Shreveport.
Miller Higgins Is strong for San
Antonio, because he thinks it is a
great place for getting players In
condition. Barrow is strong for New
Orleans because Of its healthy effect
on the club treasury. There are GUS

Dates Set for English
Golf Tournaments in
the Season of 1924

| New York, Nov. 10.-While golfers
In this country are still awaiting the
official announcement of the courses
chosen for the national championship
tournaments next year--the amateur,
open and women 's-already the Royal
and Ancient club of st. Andrews has
not only settled the links problem,
but has also given out the dates for
the 1924 meetings. The week of May
10 will see the women's champion
ship under way at Portrush, while
the following week the amateur
event will be held at st. Andrews.
Once again the month of June has
been chosen as the time for the open
championship. probably the second
week. A year ago the United States
Golf association. the. Professional
Golfers association of this country,
the Professional Golfers association
of Great Britain, and the Royal and
Ancient club of st. Andrews had con-
siderable correspondence concerning
the running off OF the British open
meeting in May, instead OF in June
as heretofore. the reason for the ad.
vancement of the date being so that
golfers from the United States could
take part.
When the national open OF the u. S.
G. A. Is held in July 1t generally
means that the pros" are in for the
hottest OF weather, and a July date
is only chosen in order that the golf
ers who go abroad to compete in
Great Britain may have a chance to
get back prior TO the tournament
After voluminous correspondence on
the subject last season 1t was finally
agreed between the associations that
things would be different in 1924;
that the British open would probably
be held in Many. All of which means
that II players such as Gene Sarazen.
Walter Hagen, Jock Hutchison and
Jim Barnes compete In the British
tournament. the United States meet
ing will again be held in July, TO al
low them time to get back.
The date for the Oxford Cambridge
team match to be held at Holyoke has
been set for March % and rs, while
few other dates thus far arranged
include the Irish professional cham
pionship the week of June 4, the
Irish native amateur championship
June . and following days. and the
Irish open amateur championship at
Dollymount. Dublin. September 8.

Horse racing. as a sport. belongs to
the masses and not to the privileged
few who wish to manipulate things
to the benefit OF their own pocket
books. That is the opinion that rae
ing enthusiasts Of the east have and
they have started out to do all that
they can to stamp out such evils as
exist.
In an effort TO make the sport of
Kings" one OF the cleanest of sport
ing events, these critics and enthusi.
asts have suggested that stewards
be appointed on all tracks, with au
thority to punish any person, who
ever 1t may be, whom they see doing
something underhanded or crooked.
1t sounds almost impossible to just
suggest such thing, but the men
who are behind the move go farther
than that and tell how 1t may be
done. Admiral Carey T. Grayson Is
one of the men prominent in the
movement and he has shown himself
to be true blue sportsman of a
rapidly disappearing school.

There are lots Of these men in the
country. Each year sees men at the
Ak.Sar-Ben meets who make horse
racing a business and yet own no
horses. These men are the type sug-
gested by the critics.
In the opinion of the critics il such
body of stewards was organized
there would be less shady work done.

several years against such practices
has made them far more infrequent
than ever before; but they are still

New York, Nov. lot is stated
that Knute X. Rockne will shortly
sign his first contract as football
coach of the University of Notre
Dame. Though Rockne has been
coaching the Indiana players for the
last 10 years he Is not now and never
has been under contract as their foot
ball instructor and there probably
would be no thought Of a contract for
him now IL any other means of giving
him we'll deserved increase in salary

Rockne never wanted contract
and the Notre Dame authorities never
thought 1t necessary to tie him UP
with one. Now, however, condition
has arisen which cannot be met ex
cept with a contract which will be
for term Of three to five years. The
| fact that several eastern schools, no
tably Columbia, have made flatter
ing offers to Rockne during the past
year or so does not enter into the
matter in any way.
Columbia Makes Big Offer.
Columbia offered Rockne $4,000 a
year to succeed Buck O'Neill as head
coach of the Blue and White eleven"

I Have Decision Goes

New York, Nov. 0.-Pennsylvania
Is to have boxing decisions. now that
boxing in that state has been placed
under commission control Two
judges will vote and IL they fail to
agree the referee will decide.
II is unfortunate that Pennsylvania
has followed New York's example in
the matter of judging bouts. The
present system is not a success. 1t is
much better to have the referee name
the winners and IL the neighboring
states had adopted that method its su-
periority would have been made clear.
In the old days there were half a
dozen referees who stood out and
were as famous as the best Of the
fighters. The present system has
so limited the responsibility OF the
referee that none is well known
enough to be regarded as an author.
ity.
Given the opportunity to distin.
guish themselves. another crop OF
men whom the public could trust
would soon be developed. There is no
question that a referee with a coun.
try-wide reputation to protect is more
likely TO give an honest and correct
decision than some obscure, unknown
judge. When the votes OF the judges
are kept secret the chances for a bad
decision are doubled.
