JOHNNY DUNDEE
 TO FIGHT AGAIN
To Battle Fred BretOnnel In Paris Next
 Month

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Johnny Dun dee, former worlds featherweight and Junior lightweight champion, who un- expectedly has decided to renew his fistic activity by engaging Fred Bretonnel of France in a bout at Paris next month, is one of the few boxers in fistic history to give up title without once defending it after winning it in competition. He relinquished the featherweight crown last August, over year after taking it from Eugene Criqui, of France, at the Polo. grounds.
 Dundee was persistent challenger of Johnny Kilbane, former featherweight champion, but the latter ignored the Italian and accepted a championship match with Criqui, French war hero with reconstructed jaw. Criqui knocked Kilbane out at the Polo grounds in June, 1923, but risked and lost his newly won laurels two months later to Dundee Since then, Dundee, finding difficulty in making the 126 pound limit, failed to defend his title and for feited it last August
 To fill the vacancy the New York State Athletic commission has been con- ducting a title tournament, and the fin alists, Kid Kaplan, of Meriden, Conn.,, and Dany Kramer, of Philadelphia, are to meet January at Madison Square Garden to decide which will gain official recognition as Dundees successor.

Harold Drew Will Coach
 At Southern Next Year
Local Mentor Has Been Approached By Cente-
 nary But No Offer Was Made

Harold Drew, head director of ath- 1etics at rmingham-Southern col lege, will again be at the helm at the local institution next year. according to announcement of athletic authori- ties at the Methodist college Wednes- day night.
 Coach Drew has been offered the post for another year, and has ac- cepted, it was stated.
 Rumors to the effect that Drew had been offered the coaching position left vacant when Bo McMillin left Cente- nary college a short time ago are groundless, since the local mentor has not been made such an offer, accord ing to his own statement.
 Approached By Centenary
 The popular Panther coach, how ever, was approached by George Key holds, chairman of the athletic com mittee at Centenary during the $. l. A. A. at Charleston short time ago. and the possibility of Drew coming to Centenary was discussed. However, the Panther coach did not receive q def finite offer at the time.
 Bo McMillin. who so suddenly made his departure from his post of hand ling the Centenary Gentlemen, will probably not be back at the Louisiana college another year; at least. not at the same salary he was getting. It is doubtful whether the former Centre star will be considered ,for the Cente-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-12-25

nary coaching job at any figure. as the re-hiring of the famous quarter back would again put Centre in bad.
 Nice Xmas Present
 The announcement that Coach Drew will be back at Birmingham-S Southern another year will certainly be a neat Christmas present for the many Pan ther gridiron followers who have watched the great progress of the foot ball eleven during the past season, and who are anxious to have Drew back with the school next season. Due to rumors that Drew might go to Cen tenary, there were large numbers anx- ious to know he would return to SI shine Slopes.
 The rumor that Drew had received an offer from Centenary originated from dispatch received from Spring field, Mass, his home town, to that effect.
 The Panther mentor made fine record with his Panthers during the football season, and students, alumni and friends of the college were loud in their praise of Drew. It was the best season Birmingham-Souther has en- joyed for number of years, and mos of the credit for success of the eleven was given to Drew, along with Dean Ludd M. Spivey, chairman of the ath- letic committee, who has a great in terest in athletics at the local insti- tuition.

MERKLE TO GO
 TON. Y. TANKS Famous 'BOnehead' Player To Become Coach For
 Huggins

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Fred Merllle. once lost on a journey from first base to second, has found his way back to New York, scene of his misadventure He will become assistant coach of the Yankees, according to Business Man ager Ed Barrow, unless something hap pens to a deal nearly consummated.
 Merkle played first base for the Giants several years ago when Larry Doyle and Art Fletcher were part of the infield. He came into public eye as the man whose so-called 'bonehead play" when he failed to touch second base to complete Giant victory cost the Giants pennant.
 Of late years Merkle has been playing with Rochester in the International league and his hitting has been excep- tiOnal.
 To Become Coach
 The nature of the deal by which he comes back to New York, although with the American league team this time, has not been announced but is SUD- posed to be straight cash proposition. Manager Miller Huggins, who has occu- pied the coaching lines during his re- gime, is expected to retire to the bench and permit Merkle to handle the field activity.
 As the old Giant player is still a remarkable hitter, he may be used in pinches this year, although this is not the intention, according to Yankee off cials.
 The story of Merkle's misplay has been told many times. Here is what happened: With man on second base, Merkle singled, advancing his teammate to third. Then came another hit and tke winning run, to all purposes, went across the plate, but-Merkle had failed to touch second. Seeing the winning run scored, the Giant first basemap rushed off the field with his team-mate Johnny Evers, then second baseman for the Cubs, noticed the omission and wo1 his argument. Many who saw the con test have declared that the umpire wal responsible for Merkle's notoriety, hay ing signalled by raising his right hanG that the game was over.

Greatest Play IEver Saw
By WALTER JOHNSON Greatest Pitcher Of All Time

A great play that happened some years ago in Washington has only had one duplicate in baseball that I remem- Der. The one was engineered by Zeb Milan, formerly Washington's star out filder, and that other I am told, to Jimmy Sheckard.
 It was in a game against Detroit some years ago that Milan pulled his trick stuff. He was playing fairly deep when Sam Crawford. a great old slug ger, came to bat, but he was not play ing deep enough.
 Wahoo Sam crashed one in his fam boyant style, and the ball started to sail toward the far-distant fences Milan had reached his hand into his hip pocket just as I started to pitch, and to his horror, he found that he couldn't get it out. It was stuck in the lining.
 He turned his back on the infield and ran, but ran with that hand in his pocket. Probably some of the fans thought he was showing off. but there was nothing like that in Zeb's mind.
 He raced with all his might, but his speed wasn't what it normally would be with that impeding hand in his pocket. Then, just when the ball was sailing over his head, he gave a con vulsive leap upward, twisted in the air, and spread it with his gloved hand.
 But that twist was too much for equilibrium, and he went down like n shot rabbit, rolling over a couple of times, and came to his feet, with the ball in one hand. and the other free of entangling alliances.
 The crowd fairly screamed and Zeb came in to the bench. grinning like a Cheshire cat, but with bruised shoulder. where he had hit the dirt.
 It was most spectacular play, and most. peculiar one, too.

BERLENBACH TO. MEET ESTRDGE Best Of Middleweights Will Fight Friday
 Night

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-When the fallen have been carted away from Mad ison Square garden Friday nights the customers there will have a pretty def mite acquaintance with the foremost challenger for the middleweight cham pionship of the world. Paul Berlen- bach will fight Larry Estridge, the col ared middleweight from the Barbadoes, the island group which produced the immortal Joe Wolcott. Jack Delaney will meet Pal Reed of Boston.
 Two of this pair, Delaney and Es- tridge,' are middleweights with first class chevrons earned in many hot action in the ring. Berlenbach is a light-heavyweight now, having reluc- tantly detached himself from the middle weight division without ever having a chance at the championship. Pal Reed is regarded as something less than a first-rater and Delaney is expected to beat him.
 Greb Pursued
 Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh, who made comparatively small profits last sum- mer because the class, of his opposition was so dismal, now is pursued with more or less enthusiasm by Estridge, Delaney and the Atlanta negro, Tiger Flowers. Inasmuch as Flowers is be- ing built up'' for one magnificent open-air promotion next summer. Greb prbably will persuade him to restrain his present eagerness for chance at the title.
 The bars against battles between men of contrasting cOmplexions have now been lowered in New York after four years of waiting and there will be no official moral obligations to a fight between the paflid champion, Greb, and the mouse-colored flowers or the deep brunette Estridge.
 Prefers Delaney
 Greb probably would prefer to fight Delaney, whose reputation for tenacity is not the best, believing that his hur- ricane system of crusading would dis courage the Frenchman with the Gal wegian name.
 The next bout of any importance Ill this section of the land will be the 12- rounder to no decision between Mickey Walker, welterweight champion, and Mickey McTigue, light heavyweight champion, in Newark, N J., on January 7. If Walker, who is fairly ardent puncher, should stop the timid Me Tigue, he, Walker, would hold two titles.

FIRPO WANTS TO
 BATTLE GIBBONS
Rates Heavies As Demp- sey, Wills, Gibbons,
 Renault
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Dec. 24.-Luis Firpo, who is yearning for another chance at Jack Dempsey's crown, expects to be matched with either Tom Gibbons or Jack Rem ault for fight at Madison Square Gar den in April, he told the French sport writers upon his arrival here.
 Questioned about Quintin Romero Rojas, who was recently given the South American heavyweight title because of Firpo's failure to meet him, the Argen- tinan said his rival was "a third rater"
 "It amused me when the South Ameri- can boxing commission, which is hardly an Ufficial body, gave him the title of champion of South America" Firpo added. If he uses the title in Buenos Aires, everybody will laugh at him."
 The fight which left me the most re- grets," he told the sporting paper L'Auto, was the one with Dempsey. Just think-I knocked him out of the ring in the first round, which he finished groggy and you might almost say he was saved by the gong. Alas! In the second he came up as fresh as ever and I lost.
 If I meet him again-and I have every reason te believe I shall do so in | 1926 if I beat Gibbons--I hope to have better luck, although Dempsey is a ter rible opponent.
 As to the European champion, Ermi- nio Spalla, whom Firpo knocked out in the 14th round at Buenos Aires last March, he said:
 If I had been in better condition would have beaten him quickly. But my automobiles were running that day in the Argentine Grand Prix and I was so occupied with the trials and the race that I had not thought much about the fight"
 In Firpo's opinion, the four leading heavyweights in order of precedence are Dempsey, Wills, Gibbons and Renault.

STRAIGHT TALKS WITH AUNT
EMMY
Stop, Look and Listen

"Aunt Emmy" said Jane" 1 wish
you would make something clear to
me. Last night Mr. wilkins and Ted
were talking about bonds. Mr.. Will
kins said lot about public utility
bonds,' whatever that means, and
seemed to think that they are the
greatest things ever, so I thought
maybe Ted and I might buy one with
that $1,000 Daddy gave us for we'd
ding present, but I'd like to know
more tbout them first"
you have the makings Of a finan-
cier, Jane" laughed Aunt Emmy,
"since you have sense enough to
stop, look and listen before you buy.
1 like public utility bonds, tOo-that
is, good ones. They are bonds issu-
ed by corporations that serve the
public with something useful, hence
the name, public utility. The gas
company, the electric light and pow
er company, the telephone and SINH
lar companies are public utility cor
porations. Their business is based on
real public needs. But it is also es-
sential that they be well managed to
be a good investment.
"Of course there are other bonds
equally good. Always bear in mind
hat when you buy a bond you loan
money to the corporation whose
pond you buy. You do not buy a

share of the business, as YOU dt
when you buy stock. The bond yol
buy bears interest, and this inter
est must be paid to you before the
company can pay out a single cent
in dividends. Nevertheless bonds
must be carefully selected with the
advice of someone who knows"
"HOw do you think one can know
if a company is safe or not, Aunty?"
asked Jane.
"Well, that is difficult. But l
should say that if a company whose
bonds you fancy has been doing a
good business for ten years and has
not failed to pay a dividend during
that time the chances are that it will
keep on doing as well unless some
thing entirely unforeseen occurs. The
best thing to do is to check up your
own opinion with your banker. Once
you have bought bonds in any cor
pOration don't put them away and
forget them. Seek your banks advice
from time to time and keep informed
of the progress of the corporation
you are are interested in. If you see
in the papers that alarms
you in any way go at once to your
bank and ask their advice about sell
ling out and reinvesting in some
thing else. Banks have facilities for
keeping in touch with financial con-
ditions, and they are always glad to
help. ANNE B. AYMES.
