FROM THE OBSERVATORY LOOKING PROSPECTS OVER

Matchmaker Dave Evans received a letter from Red" Herring, popular local lightweight, wanting to appear some energetic youngster, or, rather, any energetic youngster. for Red" says he will take on any of them that can make his weight. He writes Dave that the world has been serv- ing him well, but the wander-lust loses its grip at times and the call of the old home town is irresistible. a home of his own down in Glufport, Miss, where the salty brine of the sea laps at his doorstep and the por- boise snort around his front-yard fence. Herring has little Red" and wife to attend to, and. unlike many fighters. he is a good father and husband. He saves his money, and his investment in a farm at Gulfport is a good one. He has happy home and the money he gleans from his bouts goes into the family treasury.

 Dave says he will try to rig up bout with some good man for Monday night week for Red" here.
 
 return to Birmingham after his wan dering spells, and recently he has been active in Florida and over in Louisiana. Fans remember Red" as a fighter of pluck and courage, and in his last bout here he finished with a left hand broken and his right in- jured. Despite these minor handi- caps, he won the decision, and only the shootingpa ins that accompanied every blow kept him from putting his man to sleep.

Former Giant Star Signed To Pilot Team In Inter-
 national '.

F. NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Charles Buck Herzog, former infielder of the New York Giants. later, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, ,sre-entered organized baseball Wednesday as manager of the Newark club of the International legaue and one of the old scandals of the organized business was quiet ly annulled. The Newark team was recently sold to Michael McTighe of Newark and Herzog is to take charge at once so that he may have the af- fairs of the team reorganized by the time the season starts.
 Herzog and Rube Benton. now with the Reds, became involved in a di- rect issue of veracity and honor sev- eral years ago, when both were with the Giants. The charges that each made against the other were suffi- ciently serious to have barred a play CT, from all organized baseball. Herzog had left the organized game under no cloud and became corps athletic director of the third army corps area. When Benton's story broke. Herzog demanded an investi- gation and showdown. The in- vestigation was rather half-hearted. however, and the matter was hushed up instead of being definitely ad- judged.
 Subsequently,, Benton was whis- pered out of the big leagues. but he forced the authorities to readmit him after he had pitched year in the American association. Benton con tended that If he were unfit morally for the major leagues he was like wise unfit for minors. Inasmuch as the major league magnateS had quietly sold him into the American association, they were forced to let him back into the big leagues or stand convicted for sending a tainted man to the minors. Judge Landis held that nothing had been proved against Benton and he played last summer with the Reds.

Firpo Picked Easy One
 For February Fight

CHICAGO, H.. Jan. 2.-Ring ob- servers who have seen Farmer Lodge in action unanimously agreed tonight that Luis Angel Firpo has selected a soft" opponent in ageeing to box the Minnesota farmer in a 15-round bout at Buenos Aires, February 10. for a charitable organization.
 Lodge. weighing more than 220 pounds, is well advanced in years for a boxer. He began his ring career at Camp Grant five years ago. while in the army. He has fought with a number of second-rate heavyweights, but critics agree that he never dis- played any impressive form. He has a wide-open. awkward style of box ing and is slow.
 Lodges last fight resulted in a quick knockout, when Fred FuIton, the Minnesota plasterer. stopped him in Minneapolis three weeks ago Tn less than two minutes.

ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 2.-Jack Dempsey will never ring up another million n-dollar purse on his cash reg ister if bill introduced in the Leg fslature Wednesday goes through In it's original form. Senator Reiburn of New York City dropped the bill in the box in the Senate. It would re- duce the maximum box-office price Of tickets for championship fights from $25, the present limit, to $7. The maximum for non-championship bouts would be cut down two-thirds from s15 to s5.
 As the Dempsey -Firpo fight at the Polo grounds last summer was $25 attraction, those who attended the brawl believe there can never be an- other million-dollar production at a price limit of s7. Even at $25 a seat, the stands and field seats at the Polo grounds were damned to accommodate the smillion- dollar gate.", As the high priced seats. selling at from $15 to $25, have been the principal source of revenue at the big affairs. the gross receipts will be reduced to,less than one-third under the new scale of prices. Thus Dempsey would have to fight Firpo, Tom Gibbons and Harry Wills, three opponents whom he has been saving for grand cleanup next summer. in order to draw approximately as much money as he got for flinging his fists at Firpo four minutes on the night of September fl.
 Senator Reiburn's bill was not aimed at Dempsey. Nor would he admit that it was drafted with the idea of smashing Tex Richards monopoly on the spectacular shows. However, democratic politicians, especially in local New York City politics.. have been "after" Rickard for some time. Promoters, popular among the voters in their respective neighborhoods, had complained that the boxing commission favored Rickard in his enterprises. at the ex- pense of other impressarios.
 Reiburn said, however, that he was only interested Tn making it possible for ordinary citizens to buy tickets to the championship fights. Many fight fans had complained that they supported the racket" by buying tickets to the minor attractions, week after week, and then, when big show came along, were unable to pay the price.
 Inasmuch as the fight business is in rather bad repute at present be- cause of the wrangling over decisions in several fights during. the present indoor season in- the metropolis, stt is believed taat some great conces- sion must be made by those interested in keeping the Walker boxing law on the statute books.

CITY LOOP EWES.
 MEET WEDNESDAY,

Two walk-away affairs and one close game were the outcome of con tests played in the city basket ball league Wednesday night at the Cen tral Y. M. c. A. The Stockham aY" Iive easily won their game from the American Radiator quintet. The score was 24 to at the final whistle, although 1t was at the very last that the Stockham combination moved so far away from the Arco, team.
 Woodlawn defeated Acipco 22 to g and Howard Reserves defeated Avon dale IT to 16 in the other games.
 The comeback of the Avondale team was the feature of the evening. In the last few seconds of play the Park team looped three baskets, bringing the score up to within one point of the Howard count. The bell apparently ended the rally.
 The Woodlawn-Acipco game. was a close affair in the first half, but was more one-sided in the second,
 In the first game Pierce starred for the Radiators while Harrell and Crook starred for Stockham. Davis and Nash were Acipco stars. while Senn and Burns stood out for Wood lawn. Darden played the best game for Howard Reserves while Hall and Williams played we'll for Avondale.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2.--sammy . Mandell, the Rockford. ILL, feather weight boxer and model young citi- zen, will fight his first bout in the foremost flight of the business on January Il, when he meets Jack Bernstein of New York in 15- rounder to a decision at Madison Square garden. Mandell was regard ed as the cleverest young workman
 lnce owen Moran's time until he ran into Sid Terriss here a few weeks ago. Terriss, former anna teur, was just as clever as Mandell, and they fought a, beautiful drawn battle.
 Bernstein is the monotonous light weight who trudged through a slow bout with Johnny Dundee lately and lost the decision, with the. result that the boxing business found rowling scandal on it's back steps.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2.-Young Stribling of, Macon, Ga., the boy prize fighter who beat Dave Rosen- berg in Newark on New Years Day in his. Stribling's. first bout in the region of New York, still needs some coaching before he will be ready to fight the seasoned tough punchers of the light heavyweight division. This verdict came from Freddie Welsh, the former lightweight cham pion, who taught Stribling how to whip Rosenberg.
 He has everything but the snap in his punch" Welsh said. Give him the wallop and he will be able to fight the best of them. Just yet, how eyer, he is a little too young to go after the championship. He hasn't quite caught the knack of smacking with the full force of his muscles"
