LOUISVILLE SCENE OF A RAGING WAR

LOUISVILLE, Ky. March 4,-- Twenty three persons were indicted Saturday on the charge of main- taining handbooks and taking bets on horse races at various tracks.
 The indictment came on the heels of a raid of offices maintained by Ed Alvey, widely known in turf circles, when the police obtained a quantity of racing literature and which were said to be notatons of wagers. In MT. Alvey's preliminary examination, however. the court he! :. the manner in which the police ob- tained the notations constituted tres pass and consequently could not be used m any prosecution of Dr. Alvey. His name did not appear tod,y among those indicted.
 A statement from the city hall after an examination of the tlleged betting slips said it was figured that Alvey's February profits amounted 10 approximately s13,ooO and that they indicated the existence of a clientage almost nationwide in its scope

"SOUR DECISIONS" AROUSE MULDOON;
 WANTS NEW DEAL
By HENRY l.. FARRELL

United Press Staff Correspondent. Special Dispatch to The Ase-Herald.
 NEW YORK, March 4.-Transfer of two ring titles by what he brands as "our decisions" has aroused the wrath of William Muldoon. oxing czar of New York, and he Is looking for a new staff. Muldoon, chairman of the New York boxing commission. has announced that he will weed out the list of referees and judges and give some new talent a chance.
 Mudoon surprised all the experts when he came out and expressed his private opinion that Harry Greb had beaten Tunney in their recent bout when the judges declared Tunney the winner.
 The commissioner disagreed with his officials over the verdict .n to Genaro-V Villa fight which removed the flyweight crown from the head of Villa.
 The margin was not enough to change a championship In fact. l thought Villa won all the wa.," h. said.
 Muldoon then expressed the opin- ion that perhaps the commission needed new judges and perhaps it would be good thing to get them
 No one questions the honesty of the men who voted to remove the regal robes from Harry Greb and Rancho Villa, but a lot of the boys maintain that those judges didn't know much about fighting. Opinion with some of the boys, however. is influenced by the way they bet. The decisions in the Tunney-Greb <, and Genaro-Villa bouts practically
 meant decapitation of Muldoon aa
 the chairman of the commission and
 the revision of the entire commission
 according to political gossips. ] Governor Smith pays little atten- | tion to boxing matters. and admits that he knows little about the game. | He, however, expects his first lieu | tenant. Senator Jimmy Walker, te keep an eye on the game, and Walker | is said to have his ire up now, AEd 1 he wants to get Muldoon out.

CENTRAL DIAMOND PRACTICE MONDAY

The Central High baseball team will begin practice Monday afternoon at Smith field, according to an- nouncement Saturday by Coach Law renee J. Stillwell. The Crimson bat tery artists have done some little preliminary work, but real practice will not begin until Monday. There is every prospect of a good team this season.
 Eight letter men are on hand, while the usual crop of new men is expect ed to produce at least three or four who can be classed as varsity cali bre. Captain A. c. Young is slated to handle shortstop this season and the stubby captain ought to tear up. He has hit far over the 300 mark in the City league the past two years and always was as good a fielder as could be found in lengthy jour ney. Frank Chambers captain in 1920 and '21, is back for receiving duties and should have a big season. Around these two men the team will be built.
 Jim Smith is on hand again for first basing duties, and with year of experience under his belt, Jim mlEnt QeVelop Into star. oecoHu will likely go to Galbaugh, who play ed short in 1922. Galbaugh played City league ball last summer and Is much improved. Sanford is prob ability at third, as he also perform ed in the city circuit and won his letter last spring.
 Chet Hoster and Harry Holder are the gardners ready for work. The former is a fair pitcher. while the latter is nice catcher, though both had plenty of work in the outfield last year. The outer works could stand some bolstering, however. The big question mark is the pitching staff. If an efficient finger or so can be located, splendid season awaits the Stillwellites.

KENNEL CLUB IS PLATED
 OVER RECENT SHOW
Birmingham Entries Shared
 Honors With Best of Coun- try'so Canine Aristocracy

Local dog fanciers feel much en- couraged over the success of the re- cent bench show, as reflected by messages of congratulations from many sections of the country to which the visiting exhibitors return ed after the show.
 Very few clubs in the north and east draw as large an entry from distant points as did the Birming- ha mshow. From the Atlantic to the slopes of the Rockies, and from the lakes to the gulf came entries rep resenting the cream of dogdom, and although the best were pitted against local dogs, home grown products di- dogs, beagles, pointers, setters. fox terriers, fox hounds and Irish terriers local dogs carried away the highest honors; white in airedales, shep- the locals were in the running with honors in many cases pretty evenly divided.
 In another year, local fancters ex- pect to have built up their kennels with more good dogs, and it is ex- pected that an even better show than this one will be held next time. Plans are already in the making.
 o O O
 Card of Thanks.
 McLin J. Carter president of the Kennel club, has issued the follow ing card of thanks, il behalf of the Birmingham Kennel club:
 In behalf of the Birmingham Ken nel club, l wish to acknowledge with deep appreciation the hearty coop eration received from the entire citi- zenry of our city in enabling us to hold the largest and most successful bench show ever staged in the south. From our men of state, from our city and county governments, from our civic and industrial organizations, from our merchants, business and professional men and women, we have received the most liberal spirit ed response; thus enabling us to of- fer our exhibitors premium list commensurate with the high stan dard of exhibits that come to our shows.
 ITO the, Birmingham press do we feel most grateful for the splendid cooperation and publicity given our show. No bench show in the coun- try, great or small. ever had better support from the daily papers than did our recent show from the local press. The encouraging attitude of the management of the papers, and the enthusiastic and untiring efforts of the sporting editors in their splendid articles aroused an interest heretofore unknown in our local shows. Nor or we unmindful of the local exhibitors who by their fine sportsmanship support enabled us to break all southern records both 1T numbers and quality of dogs. Tt is with much gratitude that 2wt extend thanks to all.

 MCGraW'S HurlerS

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, March. 4.- Jimmie O'Connell. Pacific coast slugger, purchased by Manager Me- Graw for the New York Giants, has arrived on the spring training lot and donned Giant uniform. He made a good impression on fans who watched McGraw, in uniform, direct the workout Saturday.

DETROIT SPEEDER RACED 25O MILES FOR 9-CENT PRIZE

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March A. Joe Boyer, Detroit millionaire, who has been nominated by the Packard Motor Car company as team mate for Ralph DePalma, in the eleventh an nual 500-mile International Sweep stakes May 30, is one of the most popular of modern speed merchants.
 Boyer has the unique distinction of having driven one of the hardest fought races in history to win the way racing. This was in 1919 and for 25O miles over the Cincinnati board oval. Boyer was enriched to the tune of nine cents. He never for an heirloom to hand down to his two sturdy sons.
 Joe is doing a comeback" Last year he retired from the speed sport and contented himself with waving flags as assistant starter for the 5o0-mile race. However. 1t irked him to signal the men with whom he had so often battled and during the prac-
  the drivers and drove many miles tuning" up the engines for his friends.
 Made Debut in 1915.
 Back in 1915 Boyer made his In- dianapolis debut. Louis Chevrolet en- tered little car known as the Corne- liam. It was such small, light af- fair that carrying Louis was toe much for it to make the requisite speed in the trials. Chevrolet knew Boyer well and picked him >off the pit wall. -regi stered him as a driver and the slightly built Detroiter quail fled the Comedian. He was tC relieve the famed Franco-Swiss in the race but the car came to grief too soon The next year found Boyer relief driver for the three Chevrolet broth CTS who piloted Frontenacs. Then came the war and after Boyer doffed the uniform he drove his own cars in 1919, 1920 and 1921.
 In 1919, he encountered bad luck early in the race. throwing rear wheel and axle shaft high in the air It dropped on the after deck Of ms speeding car but the only injury to the crew was smashing his me chanic's finger. In 1920 Boyer cleo tr11leQ the idHo Niti thS pace he set from the start and fol the first half of the race he was only out of the lead momentarily. About 260 miles, trouble started which cul- minated in his only serious accident With the winner Jagged and the re- maining cars battling fer place money, Joe had the misfortune tt break a right steering knuckle ant crash into a tree. He was slightly in jured.
 The 1921 race found Joe a member of the Duesenberg team, but he dit not finish the race. In July of tha year he went to France as member of the "Duesy" team that won the Grand Prix but it was Jimmy Mur phy who got first honors In tht race Boyer thrilled the Frenchmei and showed them what skillful daring driving in the roads meant.

Joe Dunn hasn't gathered together such large squad of candidates. but quality, rather than quantity, is said to make up for the small numbers. Less than 35 pastimers will go through the first week of spring training at Redwood. but all have had enough experience in baseball to qualify them for trial in Class A competition.
 Some of the boys have arrived al ready, every train brings others in. There are some who will not be here until Tuesday or possibly Wednesday. but by then all will be on hand in the midst of training for the coming sea : son.
 There will probably be no cuts in the squad for week or two, s Joe Dunn plans to keep two full teams in action during the training season, and several extra players in harness dur ing the earliest weeks of the spring campaign. A second team, under Shutter Mat thews, will play practice games with the so-called first team. with games with outside teams when Jce Dunn has his first -stringers on the road.
 Here is the squad that will report to Baronial headquarters this week: Pitchers.
 Earl Whitehill Cleft hander), Phil Morrison and Tom Daniels, with Ba- rons in 1922; Plateau R. Cox, pur- chased from Rochester; Walter Stew art Cleft hander), purchased from De- troit; Elem Walker Cleft hander), Barney, Ga, semipro.; C. G. Allen Cleft hander), Eufaula. Alabama leaguer; Grover (Cy) Young, from Oklahoma City; Harry Randolph, Greenville, Cotton States league; William E. Gray, Johnson City, Ap- palachian league; John Singleton. Piedmont, Ala. semi-pro.; J. E. Free man. Talladega, Ala, semi-pro. John R. owens Cleft hander), Atlanta semi pro-; k. k. Nichols Cleft hander). Jackso Tenn, and Greenville, Cot ton States league; Fetch F. Hodge, brother of Shovel Hodge, Bristol, Tenn, via Detroit.
 Claude Robertson, with Barons in 1922; Tom Abbott. Cecil Hammond, from Saginaw, Mich, and Ludington, Central league; Bill Robertson. Pied mont, Ala. semi-pro. '
 lnfieIders.
 Tom Taylor, Herbert Brenner, Harry Achinger, with Barons in 1922; Bill Meekin Wylam semi-pro.; Danny Clark, former Baron, secured from Detroit: Dave Remson, Sylacauga semi-pro.; Leo Fleisehman, Dayton, O., semi-prof; Henry Lane, Bristol, Tenn; H. M. Snyder, lnglenook, City leaguer.
 ; OutfieIders.
 Jake Miller, secured from Fort Worth in trade for Silva; Arthur Ire fry drafted from Charlotte, Sally league: Stump Clark, with Barons Tn 1922; James R. Saunders, semi-pro.. recommended by Stuffy Stewart.
 Joe Dunn has given no assurance that he is through buying ball play CTS for the 1923 Barons. On the con- trary, he is thought to be looking around for another good outfielder, and possibly an infielder and pitcher. However, after spring training has shown up the strong and weak points in the present squad there will be time enough for changes, states Man ager Joe.

PARIS, March 1.-The Matin an- nounces it's decision to abandon the project to organize a return match between Battling" Ski and Georges Carpenter in consequence of the pugilists' joint decision to refuse to fiOht for glory alone. The news paper had an option running until March 15. under which Siki and Carpenter were to fight without financial reward, all the receipts go- ing to French scientific laboratories.
 On February 2S it was announced that Ski and Carpenter had delayed the signing set for that day of their contract for match. It was indi- cated that as soon as The Mathis option expired or was cancelled the men would affix their signatures to the contract.
