CURTIN MEETS

FEB. IS
Madison Square Garden Con-
test May Produce Rival
\ for Lynch.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-"Irish"
Johnny Curtin. Jersey City's crack
HEAVYWEIGHT. and Carl Tremaine.
OF Cleveland, will clash in a twelve
round bout at Madison Square
Garden on the night Of Feb. 16,
under an arrangement made with
Matchmaker Flournoy yesterday
by Jimmy Dunn, Tremaine's mana
ger, and Charlie Doesserick, mana
ger of Curtin.
The lads previously were matched
for a battle at the Garden on Jan
uary 10, but Curtin was stricken
with boils two days before the bout
was to take place.
The New York State Athletic
Commission subsequently ruled that
Curtin must box Tremaine here be-
fore engaging in any other bout in
the State.
The coming contest is expected to
produce a rival for Joe Lynch.
worlds bantamweight champion,
who has not defended his title since
his contest with Midget Smith in
the Garden. Tremaine is regarded
as one of the most dangerous ban
tamweights in the country.
In his last bout here, in which
he disposed of Mike Ballerino, rug
geo ihlllpplne 1eatherWeight, he
made decided impression on the
fans who witnessed the contest.
Ballerino, who was substituted for
Curtin, succumed to Tremainc's
powerful right-hand drives In two
rounds, after being floored five
times. The majority of those who
saw Tremaine beat Ballerino express
sed the opinion that Curtin was
fortunate in escaping a clash with
the CleaVelander on that particular
night.

HARRY GREB IS
EASY VICTOR
OVER TOM
Loughran Rallies in Last Two
Rounds, but Champ
Gets Rough.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Quite ac-
cording to expectations, Harry
Greb, of Pittsburgh, still retained
his American light heavyweight
championship today after travelling
fifteen noninteresting rounds with
Tommy Loughran, of Philadelphia.
Greb, who forced the fighting
from first to last, carried off ten
of the fifteen rounds, but the
small crowd of 1000 roundly hooted
the judges decision.
The crowds attitude probably
was influenced by the dual fact
that Loughran rallied in the last
two rounds and Gfeb was guilty
of using rough tactics.

MONARCH
Pitching Distance of Sixty
Feet Just Suited Indian

SEATTLE. Jan. 31.-A little re-

has produced the information that
the worlds strike-out record at the
present distance of sixty feet be.

home plate, is held by Vean Gregg,
who is to continue next season as
O hurler for the Indians.
In 1910 when he was pitching for
the Portland team, Gregg officiated
In 1895 innings and sent 367 bats
men back to the bench.
The pitching distance was changed
In 1889 from fifty to sixty.
Prior to that NJ. Kilroy of the
Baltimore team had famed sos in
one season, an achievement never
equalled, according to the record.
The National League record of
345 was made in 1890 by Rusie of
the Giants, and the American
League record in 1904 by Rube
Waddell of the Athletics. In 1910
Gregg pitched fifty-one games and

Imported Opposition
Is In View For
Dempsey

Joe Beckett, it now seems, is
to be saved from a harrAwing
death at the hands of Jack
Dempsey. According to the
latest of the pugilistic set of
rumors, one Luis Firpo, q
boxer from the land made
famous by Rudolph Valentino
and a pair of dancing slippers,
is to be the next opponent of
the worlds champion. The man
from Argentina is to defeat
Brennan and then meet Demp-
sey in the open air next sum-
mer if everything goes along
nicely and Old Faithful Bill
does not upset the plans of the
South American.
Strange how the sudden ac-
QUESTION of riches seems to turn
the heads of Americans. The
domestic product is no longer
good enough. First it was a
French Importation; an English
one was passed over without
comment, and now there is to
be something in the South
American line.

The Sydney Referee has this to
say of the decision:
"Archie Bradley has been tried
and not found wanting. He is
the goods-the variety q which
fight followers like and which is
needed here now more than ever.
"He made his first appearance
in Sydney at the Stadium last
Saturday night and received scant
encouragement from the referee
to carry on, though there was
plenty from the public.
Fighting with the heart of a
lion, the speed of an electric
apartment cooler, the endurance
Of a well-trained horse, the sus-
tanned fury of a tornado. and the
fairness of a college boxer, the
young Queenslander was most un-
justly disqualified by Referee Joe
Wallis at a time when his ulti-
mate success on points, if not
through the agency of knock
out, was assured, bar accidents.
"The utter futility of what re-
sistance Mel Coogan could offer
had already been we'll demon
strated, and he was weakening
fast before a bombardment such
as few boxers have been required
to face.
1.-THE eleventh roInl had not
gone far when Bradley made a
fierce charge to close quarters,
and drove his right in near the
floating ribs with power enough
TO snatch his opponents wind,
and, judging by that individuals
doubled-up position and apparent
pain-racked face, ca lje all the
suffering such an attack usually
inficts.
"Coogan staggered away, a
sorry-looking spectacle. Writh-
ing awhile he dropped to the
boards.
"At once the referee stepped
in and declared the beaten man
the winner.
"This sounds somewhat para
doxical, but it is none the less the
right way to put it. Coogan could
never have continued fighting had
he been compelled to go on, and
as the punch was lodged above
the belt, Bradley had not commit
ted even the mildest offense
against the laws of the game.
Wherefore say the vanquished
boxer was adjudged victor.
"Directly the crowd realized
what had happened, a great storm
of hooting, mixed up with which
some applause could be detected,
burst upon the vast arena.
"There was vigorous demon
stration of approval when Bradley
walked across the ring to shake
hands and went off to the dress
ing room. A further blast of
wrath was turned upon the Amer
lean, still receiving the attentions
of his seconds. A weak counter

Obregon's Billiard
Table Of Royal
Strain

President Oregon of Mexico
has billiard table in his palace
in Mexico City which is richer
in story and romance than any
other table in existence. 1t was
built originally for Napoleon
i'll of France and he presented
it TO Emperor Macmillan of
Mexico.
Kings and queens have played
on this table, and although
President Obregon lost his right
arm in battle he plays a good
game with his left.

i think seventeen-year-o ld Helen
Wills will win the title from Mrs.
Mallory" Miss Bancroft said at the
Heights Casino, Brooklyn, where the
first tournament of the season is
being held. Helen Wills has every
thing the champion has.
She has the advantage over the
rest of us of living in a southern
climate, where she can practice All
winter. She will be strong enough
to win over Mrs. Mallory this sum-
mer, and after that she will be a
formidable opponent to Suzanne
Lenglen."
1t is no secret at the tournament
that every woman player would like
to see someone wrest the laurels
from Mrs. Mallory, who has been the
unquestioned champion of America
for more than seven years, but who
has not been able to win interna-
tional honors. Helen Wills is the
favorite among the players. An
other West Coast player, Mary
Brown, is also ranked as a cham
pionship contender.
The manner in which Miss Ban
croft has started the season here,
places her in good line for the
championship. She is the lightning
left-handed player, and has proved
a puzzle to all opponents. She
will depart for the Riviera in
March whore she will participate
i'm European tournaments and
hopes to meet Mile. LengIen.
The West Coast sends another
promising player this year in Mae
Macdonald of Seattle, who possesses
as much personal charm and good
looks as Miss Wills, as well as
good racquet play.
'Helen Wills showed control Of
every stroke last season. Miss
Bancroft continued "She possesses
the same temperament and conf
dence that belong to Mrs. Mallory
She had one weakness-she used
too many short shots, and some
| times not quite at the right time.
| This year she will have overcome
this, l am sure
I'm America we take tennis and
tennis tournaments much less Sc
riously than they do abroad. Mile.
Lenglen has been taught tennis as
business. She has every point of
it down to perfection. The tourna-

ments there are carried out with
more seriousness. while we go in
for it here for fun. That may be
one reason why our women, players
have not won international cham
pionships."
Among the younger players who
are blossoming forth this year are
Lillian Schram, Helen Hooker and
Mrs. Benjamin Cole, of Boston.
Mrs. Mallory sails for European
tournaments February 10.

WelI.Known Press Agent Hurt.
CRANCIS ALBERTINI, one
of the press agents of Madi-

yesterday while out shopping. 1t
seems that Matchmaker Frank
Tourney had birthday this week
and little Francis, anxious to do
the swell, left the Garden for the
downtown section to buy Tourney
a classy necktie.
He was jammed in between two
pushcarts while on his errand and
scratched up quite a bit.
