Dempsey Seeks Refuge in MoUieS

NEW YORK. Feb. 1s Omitted
Press) As long as governors, box
ing commissions and a large part of
the public persist in the attitude
that his case Is one OF only trivial
Importance. Jack Dempsey might
just as we'll retire from the ring.
There is little else for him to do
right now.
Just now Dempsey is up against
the same thing that caused Jim JEFF
fries to go into retirement. only that
Jeff didn't have any opponents to
keep him busy and there is some
thing wrong with the few that
Dempsey has in his division. VIII
lard is too old. johnson is too young,
Gibbons Is too light and Wills is
too dark
Dempsey will not weep at the
unkind fetes that keep him from
getting into the ring, however. Per-
haps he considers himself FORUM
nate. So long as he stays away from
an arena, he will retain his title
and II he keeps away from his pro-
fession long enough. parts of the
public might forget that he is the
champion prize fighter.
The champion, who is now a
wealthy man, is not keen any more
about the company that he was
once associated with in the tin-ear

M'GRAW TAKES
DRASTIC STEPS
Holdouts Force Leader of
Worlds Champs Into
New Policy
GIANTS MUST SIGN
BEFORE REPORTING
BY HENRY L. FARREIL

OnlleQ fTetb ClhlI OOTItdHbnutnts
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Holdouts
have created such a serious situation
among the worlds champion Giants
that John McGraw has been forced
to do something he hasn't done in
twenty years. Notices we're in the
mails today to all Giants who have
not signed contracts that they will
not be allowed TO report at Marlin
Springs at San Antonio until they
have put their names at the bottom
OF the paper.
This is considered a most drastic
move from club of the liberal
policy of the Giants. In the past
McGraw has always allowed the
players who were dissatisfied with
the clubs offer TO report TO the
training camp and talk it over.
The threat, however, may fail in
its purpose. The only reply the
club received from the ultimatum
was from Jack Bcrtley. the S65,000
Baltimore beauty. The Giants told
him he couldn't report until he had
signed and he answered that he
hadn't intended to rsAort and
lhnrkci .hem for Their trouble.
There are three exceptions of the
edict-George Kelly, Irish Meusel
and Casey Stengel. who were with
the transformers on the trip TO the
Orient. They will be obliged to
work two weeks at the camp and
show hat the trip didn't hurt them
before they will be offered a con-
tract
While Frisch. Groh and Young
are the only regular Giants on
paper the situation is almost as had
with the Yankees. Babe Ruth and
Cary Mays are working under hold
over contracts and Everett Scott IS
the only player who has signed
new contract. Wallie Schang came
to terms" but he did not sign.
Action of the Giants and a pre-
vious announcement Of the Brook
lyn Club TO the same effect indicates
that In the National League. at least,
the club overs may have decided
on this policy OF bringing their ath-
lttes TO time.

ranks. He would much rather be
known as young business man.
When he returned recently from
California, many OF his old cronies
found that Jack was cooling on
them and many of his staunchest
supporters in the early days when
he didn't have anything and needed
everything are waillng that he IS
giving them the Ritz now.
Dempsey really thinks now that
he is an actor and. If he can't pics
up a million for an afternoon
work in the ring, he will confine h s.
work to the movies where the pay
is almost as good.
There were no movies in the old
days. When a champion got too
good he had to quit and go into the
saloon business. In these days OF
opportunities. however, Dempsey
can find dough wherever he places
his hands.
Baseball people maintain that
baseball and boxing have nothing
in common. With the exception OF
the purpose OF getting money out
OF the public. the two sports are not
closely connected. Jess Willard at
forty is barred from the ring and
Babe Adams at forty-two has the
Pirates begging him TO stay with
them next season.

Unique Record

Larry LaJoie holds a unique
batting record, something for
the crack hitters TO shoot at
Larry finished with an aver
age better than 400 that year.
other batters have walloped the
ball for 400 or better averages,
so there is nothing unusual in
the high mark Larry made in

The unusual feature OF Lar
rvs batting during the 1901
season was that in making his
mark of better than 400 he
never once fell below that av-
erage during the entire cam

That is certainly a mark of

Federation wheat is to be tried out

ment station at ST. Anthony by r. E

Several farmers will try small patches

will each plant an acre. 1t is hoped
to get this seed planted in different
sections of Twin Falls county to give
it fair trial in different localities.
Federation wheat is an Australian
variety, and in places where it has
been tried it is reported to have
yielded better than Dicklow, one of
the best yielding varieties grown in
the irrigated sections. County Agent
Brossard hopes to get an additional
supply of seed and to have enough
produced in Twin Falls county this
