Wants Sun to Shine Warm
Enough for Million Dollar
Outdoor Gate.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Jack
Dempsey, heavyweight champion
said here today that he has aban.
doned all fight plans for the i'm.
mediate future.
Not until the sun shines warm
enough to allow a million-dollar
gate at one of Tex Richards arenas
probably a new one seating
$4,000 people under contemplation
on Long Island, will the champion
again don the mits.
Today Dempsey, who is here for
the holidays, took up rehearsal of
snappy line of chatter to be
passed out to the public as wise
cracks" from the vaudeville stage.
He is also rehearsing a dance step.
Jack Kearns, manager of the
champion, who may team with
Dempsey in the vaudeville turn
said:
I'VE won't fight until June, at
least. Wen give Firpo the first
crack unless the unforeseen develops.
We're going to keep in condition,
however, taking Teddy Hayes and
Jerry the Greek along on the the
atrical trip as trainers.
This stuff about us-Dempsey
mean-going to get married is all
wrong. We're not going to Europe
as advertised"

PHILADELPHIA TO HAVE
NEW PUBLIC GOLF LINKS

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. IA
Tacony creek park will soon be a
haven for golf enthusiasts who COM
plain that the lone municipal course
at Cobbs creek is too crowded to
swing a club"
The Fairmount park commission
yesterday passed a resolution con-
demning a sixty six-acre tract in
the Forty-second ward adjoining
TacOny creek between Olney and
Frankfort, which 1t is planned to
convert into a public golf course
Nineteen adjoining acres already
have been purchased by the com
mission.
The tract is three blocks south
of the boulevard, accessible by auto
mobile or trolley and was described
by members of the commission as
an ideal location"

played, that matter could be mend.
ed by the action of both schools,
or it could be abrogated by depart.
mental action. There is little doubt
that Washington would get the
game occasionally If it could take
care OF it.
1t has also been suggested that
there is no reason why the ex.
penses Of the student bodies could
not be borne from the receipts of
the game. The cost of the trip Of
the regiment Of midshipmen to New
York or OF the corps of cadets from
West Point to Washington would
be considerable, but tri2e in
proportion to the receipts of the
ton to defraying it from those re-.
ceipts.
The strong probabilities point to
a more definite agreement on this
matter In the future, and indications
point either to Philadelphia, the one
big city occupying middle ground for
all the games, or New York, nation 8
metropolis, and Washington, its
Capital, in alternate years.
It may be said that boosts of one
place or criticisms Of another will
have little effect upon the decision
for the coming game or in the fu-
ture. The authorities of the service
schools are willing to listen to every
claimant, but will, in the end, make
the decision from the interests Of
their own institutions, not overlook
ing the fact that the game is a
great national affair, and that the
general public is also to be consid.
cred.
It is also true that the game will
demand the largest available struct-
ures for the accommodations of
those who wish to see it. Year by
year the demand is growing greater,
and the $4,000, the number of seats
available to each branch Of the serv-
ice last year, was by no means suf-
ficient. The minimum to each next
year is estimated at $4,000, with tine
probability Of an increase each year.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. IA
Judge William Fredrickson of
the Los Angeles Country Club
yesterday startled fellow club
members by appearing on the
golf course in a brand new
University of Illinois varsity
sweater. More. than thirty
five years ago the judge was
one of Illinois foremost ath-
letes, but at that time no
varsity letter was awarded.
The Varsity Society at Illinois
met not so long ago and voted
sweaters to members Of the
famous team that won from
Chicago and the Judge got his
sweater yesterday. So con-
spicuouS was sthe sweater and
so bravely did the Judge wear
it that fellow members of the
club formed a roofing section,
cheering for the judge cont;nu-
ously every time he attempted

Ed Evans was captain of the
University Of California 145-pound
team. He is said to be unusually
skilled. The Yankees say he classes
with the leading forwards of this
section.
Pete Gitlitz was a member of
the champion Yale University
quint last season. He was taught
his stuff by Tom FOgarty, whom
some people call the greatest
basketball coach in the country.
He brought Yale from last to
first place i'm the intercollegiate
league in a single year. C4itlitz
was crack at guard.
If these men are not over-pr-ss-
ACCENTED, the Yankees likely will
have a powerful team. Harvey
ny Goetz and Ray Catlin, all star
performers, are with the Yankees
again. It remains to be seen how
well the new and the old Yankees
can work together.
Starting tomorrow night, when
they will meet the Wyman team
of Baltimore, the Yankees will
play home games on Wednesday
and Saturday nights at the Coli
scum. They will bring to Washing
ton the leading teams of the coun-
try, including the famous Celtics,
Rochester Centrals, and the crack
Pennsylvania teams.
In the Wyman team, the Yanlk-
ees will encounter the city league
champions of Baltimore. Tne
Wymans have been playing to
gether for four seasons and each
campaign has found them
stronger combination. Three years
ago the Wymans finished last In
the Baltimore league.
Two years ago they finished fifth.
Last winter they won the cham
pionship. This season they say they
will walk away with it, counting on
still further improvement.
Fred Kress and Walter Travers
are the Wyman forwards; Ward
Kelly, the center, and Jimmie Byrne
and Dudley Barnett, guards. Byrne,
who was a star at Villanova, is
captain Of the Baltimore cham
pions.
These men are expected to make
the Yankees step their fastest for
victory A preliminary game will
be played by the Apache and Kama
wha teams, or the champion East
ern High quint and the Apaches.

While there has been no state
ment to that effect from official
sources, there is some reason to be-
heve that Baltimore, which has an
excellent stadium owned by the
CITY, has the inside track for next
years game. The selection is to De
made by the Naval authorities, and
the choice of Baltimore may have
much bearing upon the future
policy of the service institutions in
this matter.
Immediately after each Army.
Navy game, there is usually much
newspaper discussion as to the
selections OF the place for the next
game. This is largely regarded as
propaganda by the Naval Academy
authorities, and has not the least
influence on the actual choice. AS
Rear Admiral Henry B. Wilson,
superintendent of the Naval Acad-
envy, said recently, the choice will
depend entirely upon the interest Of
the service and will be made when
ats officials are ready to make it.
The chief reason for the inclin..
alton of the Navy towards Balti-.
more next year is the fact that
the Naval contingent, particularly
the -midshipmen, have several
times been called upon to bear
the rather heavy expense Of the
trip to New York, while the
West Pointers have only q short
trip to make. It is thought that

A number OF those who have been
IN closest touch with the big foot.
ball game believe that Philadelphia,
q it can furnish a suitable place,
Is the logical place for all of the
games, between the service teams.
While the majority OF Naval people
prefer New York, those having
charge of the midshipmen feel that
their interests would be served by
the selection OF place which would
not entail 50 large an expenditure
by them.
For these. reasons, many Naval
people believe that 1t will be well
to bring the West Point party to
Baltimore for q game, the trip be-
Ing about the same as that which
the Annapolis contingent has had to
take to reach New York and re-
turn. It is thought that the Army
officials might then look with more /
favor on the selection of Philadel-
phia, which is almost exactly mid
way between the two places.
On the other hand, New York is
favored by practically the whole
Army party and very large pro-
portion of Naval people. The mid
shipmen, Of course, regard the trip
to New York as a bigger thing than
one to any other place, while the
metropolis IL also preferred by that
large body of Naval officers who
are assigned to the Atlantic Fleet,
and who have less difficulty seeing
the game when it is played in New
York than If played any other place.
Washington has never been Sc
riousIy considered because it had
no adequate place for the game,
but q movement is on foot to
erect an enormous stadium. If
this Is done, Washington viii be
I'm q position to ask for the game.
In fact, the view has been ex-
pressed that, under these cOndi-
lions, the departments would very
probably direct the game to be
played there on some occasions.

fw0 institutions the game can no

READY RESPONSE IN N. E..

Boston, Sept. 11.-Ncw England
has answered the appeal to contri-
butte to the Japanese relief fund of
the American Red Cross by passing
its quota today. according to an an
nouncement by the district headquar-
tiers of the Red Cross here. With re-
ports from only three-fi of the
chapters in the New England area at
hand the quota of S350,000 had been
exceeded by $4,000 1t was predicted
that New Englands contribution
might reach the half million mark.
Nearly forty of the $50 chapters
in the district have exceeded the
minimum quotas allotted them. The
Berkshire county chapter, originally
asked to raise $4,000. was requested
later to contribute $4,000. Today it
telegraphed headquarters that al
ready it had received more than S16.-
900 and hoped to reach $4,000 in a
few days.
The Providence. r. T., chapter re-
ported today that ii had passed its
quota of $4,000 and that returns
were not all in. From Springfield the
local chapter sent a check of $4,000,
its full quota. The Bennington
county, Vt, chapter exceeded it's
goal by $500, and the Rutland, Vt.
chapter also went over the top
with a check for SLIP.

Interstate Commerce
Commission to Start
Coal Probe Sept. "a

Washington, Sept. 11.-John Hays
Hammond. chairman of tie coal
commission. issued a statement to-
day pointing out that the inquiry
into anthracite freight rates suggest
ed by Governor Pinchot was ordered
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission more than a month ago.
The coal commission in its an
thracite report issued July to the
President and to the congress- said
Mr.. Hammond. Recommended that
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion institute an inquiry on anthra-
cite coal freight rates. The Inter-
state Commerce Commission on the
next day, July 10. in response to the
recommendation of the coal COM
mission, ordered an investigation of
this question and on August 81 fixed
September 24 as the date on which
hearings would begin.
THE reasonableness of existing
rates will thus be ascertained as pro-
vided by law. but until the Inter-
state Commerce Commission renders
its decision, the public will not know
whether or not there is ground to
expect any relief from this source.
The hearings will elucidate all the
facts and the adjustment if warrant
ed will proceed in an orderly way
