UNION s EFFECT
ON CONTRACTS
To Be SEEN
National League More Con-
cerned Than Is
American.

The next few weeks will deter
mine whether or not the new base
ball players union is going to have
any influence on players contracts
during the coming season. 1t has
been charged that the new organiza-
ton has placed a minimum salary
limit, but this is denied by the play
ers who belong to the organization.
Thus far it seems to be a National
League affair.
The American League talent is
either satisfied or hasn't much time
for unionism in baseball.
The umpires' union, which has
been talked of for several years,
has never been organized, but it
is likely to get going this summer,
because of the manner in which
several umpires have been dropped
during the past few weeks.
1t is a well known fact that in
fluential baseball officials use all
kinds of influence to remove an
umpire, and it is against this prac-
tice that the indicator holders are
anxious to protect themselves.

STEFFEN QUITS HIS JOB
AS COACH AT CARNEGIE

CHICAGO. Jan. 29.-Judge Wal
ter P. Steffen will not return to
Carnegie Tech as football coach, it
became known yesterday. Though
the school has not accepted Judge
Steffen's resignation his duties on
the bench here prevent him con-
tinuing as coach. Carnegie Tech
has enjoyed great success in the
nine years under Judge Steffen's
tutelage. Judge Steffen was elected

come of Kearns' determination to
divide the risk, and, at the same
time, hurry off home with the
largest available purses. He seems
to feel that no one promoter can
conduct all three bouts and make
real money for Jack Kearns.
Therefore, he would put that abid.
ing responsibility up to three men,
so that each can work out his
own little problem without thought
or worry of future bouts.
All of them, of course, will find
1t necessary to show financial re-
sponsibility if they wish to do
business with Jack Kearns. This
will include assurance that the
site is acceptable and official in
reference improbable.
Rickard can qualify here. He is
supposed to get the first big date,
largely because he seems to have
the Willard complex, and no one,
outside of Tom O'ROurke, is par
ticularIy interested. Kearns, it is
said, feels that opposition to Will
lard's return to the ring will be
less enthusiastic if it can be shown
= that Dempsey is meeting all
I'm mid-stride. At any rate, it is
certain that Willard would be
shouted down il he tried to get on
with the champion after the latter
had given the rOugh-dry treatment
to Wills and others.
The proposed bout at the Polo
Grounds with Johnson, Gibbons or
Firpo would also prove a plausible
undertaking as long as a definite
date with Wills hovers in the
background. For this reason it is
said that Kearns plans to make a
dual announcement in the immedi-
ate future of contracted engage
ments with both Willard ~and Wills.
So much for the report in ques-
ton. It may or may not deal with
fact rather than fancy, but we will
venture this much: Show us the man
who knows what is in the mind of
Jack Kearns and we viii show you
q featherweight black Jack.
1t is our opinion that Wills is being
cleverly exploited by Kearns with
the idea of steaming up interest in
other bouts. In this we are support
ed by many prominent boxing men
who contend that Wills will never
be permitted to meet Dempsey in
this country.

YOUNGER OUIMET is. A
REGULAR CHAMELEON

Raymond Ouimet, younger brother
to Francis, is the chameleon of
golf. He was an amateur, turned
pro and turned back to amateur
again by special dispensation. Now
he has turned pro again and will
be located at some course in the
Middle West. The date Of his next
turning is not specified, but he
still believes that one good turn
deserves another.
However, If he makes another
attempt to change his status, some
body will have the law onto him. "

that two turns completes the cir.

lard, it may be said on the best OF
authority that Harry Wills and
Tom Gibbons will be given matches
with him. The Gibbons scrap is
dependent upon the showing that
the st. Paul fighter makes against
Floyd Johnson in the MIX Fund
bout at Madison Square Garden on
March 10.
The sensation of the news that
Dempsey and Willard had signed
secretly to battle under the auspices
of Tex Richard over at Boyle
Thirty Acres had hardly subsided
before the fighters were busy look
ing about for training quarters out
side of Gotham. Dempsey made the
announcement that he was going to
Lakewood, n. j., today in search or
camp to start work. Ray Archer
stated that Willard was planning to
make a trip to the mountains to
locate at some place where suitable
training facilities could be had.
Archer made it plain that Jess was
determined to get to work before
the close of the present week.
"AllOw me to inform you. that
the public is going to be greatly
surprised when Willard steps into
the ring" said Archer. He is
going to be one Of the best
athletes i'm America"
"You know that IL a man feels
that he can do something and
put himself i'm the best possible
position to accomplish that some
thing he generally comes very
close to realizing his hopes" de-
clared Big Jess, as he sat by and
nodded as his manager told OF
what plans they had for the next
fight with Dempsey.

at Toledo was not the best. That

| Dempsey spent a quiet day yes
terday. The snow, however, did not
keep the champion from taking a
long walk.
Kearns refused to affirm the story,
az told exclusively in The Wash

signing Of articles between Dempsey
| and Willard to meet in jersey City,
June 80. However, from those who
are closest to the champion and his
| manager, word came out that the
next few days would unquestiOnably
bring forth confirma ton of the story.
