AS the situation stands today. Wills
check has been returned to him in
very much the spirit of householder
ridding his home of a defunct rat. The
official dictum has gone forth that
Dempsey and Wills may not fight in
this state. and further that Dempsey
may not defend his title here. Why?
Why this right about face?
Well, the answer is that a whisper
has come from the throne. Boxing is
doing very nicely in New York state.
Headliners are meeting every week
and bouts pretty generally are on
the level. The officiating has i'm
proved immeasurably and fans who
are as happy at larks. Everybody is
going forward without any but an
occasional burst of ballyhoo-to
quote Muldoon's favorite woodland
upstate puristS are peacefully Sleep
ing. The idea is to let 'em sleep.
Every one knows what an awaken
ing there would be with a heavy
weight title battle in prospect. Mat
pages would work out to front pages
and in general there would be an up
roar which could have but one end
the abolition of boxing in the state.
And so. while Muldoon. who Is
nobody's fool, appears to be incon-
sistent and erratic, he is neither. He
has seen the high sign and. as con-
sequence. any fighting Jack Dempsey
does will be across the river in New
Jersey, or elsewhere. AS for Tex
Rickard, coming events will prove
he is by no means out of the picture.
For he has the big Jersey City arena,
and Tom O'Rourke, who represents
parties interested in the Polo Grounds
as an open-air boxing center. has
only the Polo Grounds. And. under
present conditions. any one who has
secured an option on a New York
arena with a view to promoting a
world championship title bout is like
cilage factory.
What MuIdoon Meant.
Just another word about the SEEM
ing inconsistency of Chairman Null
doom. 1t will be remembered that
blare of trumpets that no one need
try to promote a Dempsey fight who
could lot find a place to accommo-
date 100000, more or less, spectators.
His declaration very recently that
high financing caused him to rule
against heavyweight title fights was
interpreted by some as direct about
face. 1t was nothing of the kind.
Muldoon merely meant that the
100000 spectators should be permitted
to see such a battle and at a price
something less than that charged for
an ocean liner. two coal mines and
q controlling interest in a railroad
company.
Tom O'Rourke will gain nothing by
his decision, announced today, that
he. too. has withdrawn from the bid
ders for a Dempsey bout Tom says
lie will not bid again as long as Null
doom is chairman. of the commission
Looks very much like nose spite.

CREB EASILY SCORES
OVER REED ON POINTS

NEWARK. n. j.. February g.
Harry Greb of Pittsburgh. light
heavyweight champion, outpointed
Pal Reed Of Boston in a twelve-round
bout last night. Newspaper men gave
the decision to Greb. The champion
weighed 1861 pounds and Reed 15712
1t was Greb's fight from the first
round. The champion started with a
rush and hammered the Boston fight
er with a succession of right and left
hooks, jabs and uppercuts.
Reeds punches were scattered and
did not bother Greb except in the
twelfth. In the last round he sue
ceeded in landing several hard lefts
which Jared Greb.
In the tenth Greb had Reed groggy,
but was unable to put over the finish

must answer a suggestion sent to
me by Chick Evans, the great golfer.
In answer to our questionnaire, Mr..
Evans says. II would be interested
most in knowing what McGraw con-
siders the funniest thing he ever saw
on the diamond
The things that give me the biggest
laughs now, when in a reminiscent
mood, were not funny at all at the
time they occurred The fact that we
took them so seriously. though, is
probably what makes them funny
now.
For my best laughs my mind natur-
ally drops back to the days OF my as
sociation with Walter Brodie-
steve" Don't get the impression
that Brodie was a humorist. No, In
deed He was so deadly serious that
he never knew he was funny.

see where the ball had gone. He
could see that 1t would be a three
base hit and probably a home run.
After passing third he stopped and
began roofing and waving for Bres-

he forgot all about running himself.
Come on. Roger" he yelled. Come
on-atta boy, Roger!'
Roger came Steaming around tho

cries. He passed third and ran right
on past Brodie and slid into the plate
for home run.
Alta boy, Roger" chuckled Brodie.
Then to the amazement of the
stands. to Brodie and to all OF US the
catcher walked up and touched Brodie
with the ball. putting the side out
without a run. Brodie had stood
there and let Bresnahan go past him!
Wasn't Funny mt the Time.
You can imagine what we said to
him. Just what he had done did not
dawn on Steve until he reached the
bench.
l can see that picture now, and it Is
the funniest that | can remember, but,
believe me, it was not funny then.
Another humorous picture that
sticks in my mind was a rainy day at
the Polo Grounds, when Dummy Tay-
lor, the pitcher. tried to show up the
umpires. We were well in the lead
that day when, after a slight drizzle,
rain began to fall in torrents. The
game was called or suspended, and
the crowd waited for fully a half
hour Water stood in pools all over
the field.
From the bench we kept yelling to
Umpire O'Day to call the game and
let us go home. Naturally, We wanted

lead But O'Day was stubborn.

CRAVATH PICKED AS AID
TO FLETCHER OF PILLS

PHILADELPHIA. February 6. -
Gayyy Cravath. one-time champion
home run hitter OF the National
League and former manager OF the
Philadelphia Nationals has signed q
contract as coach and assistant to
Manager Fletcher of the Phillies. He
will report at the spring training
camp in Leesburg, Fla, about March /.
Cravath was manager of the Phil

has managed to cover the distance in

conditions
Brooks turned in a mile last year in

the half. He is a strong, game runner,
who will give Herlihy and Skahan a

Skahan Is coming along splendidly, and
although. like Brooks his natural dis
tance is mile, he is going over the
half-mile route in time fast enough to
include him as one OF the proba bilities
1t would seem at this time that the
hopes of the Hilltop for winner in this
great international event are not with
out foundation. But when the team
goes to post against Yale and Penn at
the Convention Hall carnival an oppor-
tunity will be afforded to get real es-
innate of the abilities of the team.
Yale, with Campbell, Douglas. Hilles
and Vanderpyl, possesses an enviable
combination. II it happens that the
race comes down to the anchor men
with the runners closely punched. there
ought to be q hair-raising battle be-
tween Connolly Of Georgetown, Tom
