DIXIE MAJOR CIRCUIT ENDS
NJ BUSY SESSION AT CHICAGO
CANTON TEAM TO
CLAIM U. S. TITLE

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13.--The
Canton Bulldogs, the famous profess
sional football team composed of
sandlot athletes and former varsity
men from various colleges, will claim
the championship of the country if
they defeat the Frankford Yellow
Jackets in game Saturday after
noon. This will be the twelfth game
of the season for the Bulldogs and
the worst they have done thus far
was one tie score.
Poss Miller, former captain of the
Pennsylvania varsity, has been prac-

to make his team, also has turned to
professional football, but is not eX-
pected to get into the Yellowjackets-
Bulldogs game. He has Joined the

which meets the Bulldogs there on
Sunday. Miller probably will work
with him in the backfield, thus re-
storing. on the professional gridiron,
a former great college combination.
Miller and the Bulldog lineup APP

Fnpo Is Ready
To Train Under
American Boxer

BUENos AIRES. Dec. 13.-Con-
WINGED that his Argentine advisers,
who trained and handled him before
and during his fight With Jack Demp-
sey, were incompetent, Luis Angelo
Firpo Wednesday announced that he
would begin at once to take coun-
sci of American boxing experts and
professional trainers for his next
battle with Dempsey for the cham
pionship of the world.
Il am through with my old train
ers," Firpo said. Il must begin at
once with new North American vet
Grams in order to get in shape for
my next fight with the world cham
pion.'
This was Firpo's reconciliation of
his friends who went all the way to
New York last summer to be with
him, and share his glory, in defeat
or victory. 1t was also regarded as
his denunciation of Horatio Levalle,
the famous Argentine millionaire
and dilettant pugilist, who spent al
most a month in Atlantic City, train
ing Firpo and who wept in Firpo's
corner when the hairy giant was
counted out.
Jimmy De Forest of New Jersey,
who trained Dempsey for his win
ledo, and who handled Firpo in most
OF his American bouts up to and
including the one with Jess Willard,
is believed to be the nominee to
handle Firpo in his future training,
James j. Jeffries, former world
champion, also is mentioned, but De
Forest is regarded as the more ex-
perienced tutor and the likeliest man
for the job. This is Firpo's first
admission that he trained improperly
and waged his combat under poor
advice, in his first fling at the high
est title in pugilism Until today it
was believed that he laid no blame
against Lavelle for his yanouish-
ment at the Polo Grounds.
Firpo said pressure was beinx
brought upon him to force him into
fight with Romero, the Chilean
giant, who has been fighting third
class continental heavyweights in
Europe and who recently knocked
out Marcelle Miles, heavyweight
champion of France. Unless he
should fight and defeat Romero, he
said, he might lose the heavyweight
However, Firpo said. he will sail for
New York on January 16, leaving,
Romero and Erminio Spalla of Italy
to wrangle for the Latin and LATIN
American titles, If they see any prof
it in, those minor baubles of the pro-
fession. -
why should I remain In Buenos
Aires and fight Romero, Spalla. or
any other boxer of minor reputa-
tion." Firpo demanded, when 1 can
make more money in the United
states? Besides, must begin i'm
mediately to train with some profess
sional and experienced expert for NV
second attempt at the Champion

CHAPTER 4
AL Wagner VS.. AL Wagner.
Nv HANS WAGNER


All during the night while await
ing an answer to my telegram de-
handing $40 month for my first
league job I repeated the words over
and over again. My courage in de-
handing so much sort of scared me.
i can't come for less than 40
MONTH" 1 would repeat and wonder
if l had done the right thing.
The answer came in the morning.
1t was simple and direct.
IF you can't accept 49," 1t read,
you had better stay at home"
I went right up stairs, packed my
little things and caught the first
train. I'd take no more chances on
losing that IS a month. Gee, how
mad was at those fellows who had
advised me to hold out! ! wanted
to get to Steubenville before the
manager changed his mind.
Arriving at Steubenville I looked
up George Moreland and impediate-
ly signed the contract. l found It
the other day hanging up in the
library of the Elks. club. 1t was
torn in half but here it is:

Sec. This is to certify that L,
William Wagner have agreed to play

thirty five payable on the first and
fifteenth of each month or as soon
as possible
Sec. Pin signing to play for the
SteubenyilIe team agree to abide
by all the rules and regulations.
Sec. 81 also agree that should my
services not be agreeable to the said
club the management reserves the
right to release me.
Sec. Al agree to pay for my own
uniform and shoes, the cost of same
to be taken out of my first pay.
Sec. 81 agree to report on the
date notified by the manager in
good condition to play ball.
Sec. 6-The manager of the Steub-
enville team to pay all my expenses
while away from home.
Sec. II also agree to always keep
myself in good condition and should
1 fail to abide by all rules, all agree
ments between myself and the
Steubenville club shall be declared
void Signed,
WILLIAM WAGNER.
Witness. PATRICK (PATSY)
FLAHERTY.
You will notice this contract was
not signed by the ball club. They
didn't bother about little things like
that in those days. In fact, ] de
know why contract was necessary
They could fire me whenever they
wanted to anyway. The part that
always gives me a laugh is that pay
ION the first and fifteenth of each
month or as soon as possible"
But those boys knew what they
were doing. 1t never did become
possible. The league broke up in
two months.
Another funny clause is that one
about taking out the money for my
uniform and shoes the first month.
You may not know it, but that
clause still sticks in baseball con-
tracts, 1t is obsolete, though. The
big league teams never make a ball

Dempsey In New York


NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Jack Demp-
sey. worlds heavyweight champion,
arrived in New York today ready to
map out his 1924 pian of campaign.
He and Jack Kearns, his manager,
probably will confer with Tex Rick
ard within a few days regarding a
return match with Luis Firpo and
possibly other engagements, but the
title holder probably will not climb
into the ring again before the out
door season.
''All of the leading challengers are
to be ginen their chance" said Demp-
sey. Tom Gibbons, Harry Wills and
Luis Firpo are the boys who seem
most entitled to a crack at the crown
and they'll get it,.
Jack came here to go to work."
Kearns said. He has been offered

SOUTHERN GOODS
LEAVE FOR GAME
Pantherettes Play Crimson
cites In Tuscaloosa
Friday Night

A squad of nine Pantherettes will
leave Birmingham Friday morning
for Tuscaloosa, where they will meet
a seXtet from the University of Ala
bama in the first game of the sea-
son, the coed cagesters from Sun
practice game since the opening of
the year.
The Pantherettes are expected to
meet some stiff opposition in the
Alabama cagesters, who have been
preparing for the invasion of the
Gold and Black and who will put a
strong team on the floor this eve
ming when the two teams will meet.
Although handicapped by the loss of
three varsity players the university
girls will have strong team and the
battle is expected to be hard fought
during the entire period.
The recent practice game of the
Pantherettes with Mortimer Jordan,
county champions of last year,
showed the Gold and Black team to
be stronger this year than it has
seemed at any time during the past
at this early period. Four varsity
players have returned to take up
their work for the coming season and
some good material has shown up at
the opening of the year.
Lucille Williams and Elizabeth
Green will open the encounter at
guard for the Pantherettes this eve
ming with Margaret Cannon and Julia
Manar at the two centers. Capt.
Mary Brinskelle and Corda Stansbury
will begin at forwards, both having
shown some excellent work in prac-
tees. "Flivver'' Ford, Rebecca Cous-
ms and Helen Grain will also go
along for alternate work with some
of the openers.
The Panther co-eds will be handi-
capped by the fact that the game
will be played by girls rules as they
have done all work. according to
regular regulations during the past.
This however is not expected to
prove very great impediment in
the Pantherette playing and a hard
game is expected by followers of
both teams.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Dec. 1s.-Elim-

athlete from college sports is the OBJ
ject of movement launched by
athletic officials at Gettysburg col

close supervision over the teams of

The tramp" athlete is one who
transfers from one college to an
other, frequently playing more than
the usual four years of college foot
ball and often continuing as a col
