RUPERT DENIES
 FINANCIAL IDEAS
Says This Was Not Reason for
 Action on Johnson

New York, Dec, 30.--Colonel Jacob Ruppert, president of the New York American club, returning here from the recent joint meeting of the major leagues owners at Chicago, said tho American league club own CTS resented any implication that their action in backing Baseball Commissioner I,andis, as against President Ban Johnson, was taken in the interest Of box office receipts for the coming year,
 He found q wave of feeling in New York, Col, Eupport said, that the American league had acted from 8 fear that their pocketbooks would suffer.
 The American Iearue was loyal to Johnson We wanted him to stay in his place" Col. Rupport said. He didn'. He attempted to battle with the man We all had agreed was 70 be our supreme ar bitter and he failed in the fight. We told him in New York that he had i gone too far m his attacks on the baseball commissioner, and NC told him again in Chicago.
 T surely do Lot need 10 be ac- cuscd of any grrcd for moury. only wish inc Yankees win the next pennant and 'ha next world series. ! No other American league club owners in all Of our deliberations made the slightest indication that II would be to our financial interest to agree to the wishes Of Landis and turn down our president.
 What VIC liI. va did because we realized that Johnson had been wrong in luis attitude toward the man he had agr,'I 10 respect" Col, Ruppert confined. We may be. licve that he las some justification for his stand, lou. there was nothing to do but agree when the cold fact that he had broken the agreement was placed before us.

(Dy Joe Williams)

It isn't taking much away from the big guy to call Mickey Walker the Jack Dempsey of the welter- weights. Walker is just as great in his class as Dempsey is in his. And curiously enough, Walker and Demp- sey are great pals and fight much alike.
 Dempsey is q two-tiisted mixer. So is Walker. Dempsey likes his left hook best, Ditto Mickey.
 Walker came near joining Demp- sey as a stable mate this spring Walkers manager and buddy Jack Bulger, died. Walker wanted to join the Dempsey eutourage but Jack Kearns, who manages the heavy champion in one camp is enough.
 Walker, a youngster, is still some degrees short of protection. Great as he is now, experience will make him greater. Walker has not fought often. Every other Thursday, be- tween 2 and 5, he seems to commit some new outrage which incurs the wrath of the New York boxing con- mission and is expelled.
 As q result Of this Walker has made paratively little money so far. What promised to be his big gest money harvesting effort was called off last fall when Benny Leonard, lightweight champion,

him whenever l could with which ever hand was free. l noticed the body punches seemed to tire him quicker than blows on the head. I learned lot in that fight. Though losing. Britton gave me a boxing les son from the first round till the last"
 Walker is no dumb-bell. He is a graduate architect. Designing homes is his hobby. A number of attractive homes in various Jersey communities bear the personal trademark of Mr. Mickey Walker, architect. These in- clude, of course, the home of MT Walker himself.
 Tells of His Hardest Battle
 Who gave me my hardest fight :? Morrie Schlaifer of Omaha. l was asked to come 10 Chicago and box him. I'm not sure that had ever heard Of him before. At this minute I am sure l will never forget him. Morrie cracked me with 8 right handler that all but stopped me in my tracks.
 T didn't know what it was ell about for three rounds, think I fought my greatest fight that night. At any rate l never felt happier at seeing one finish. The sight of Mir, Schlaifer Scurlod up on the canvas with d referee counting him out may have had something to do with it."

 G0ldstcin's Error
 Goldsteiu lost his helt by taking .ho defensive after the first three rounds and acquescing to the in- fighting methods that Martin en- ployed. At the start the former champion fought as he did when he was climbing the ladder to the crown. A clever and fast boxer, he stood away anl shot in jabs to his opponents face and drove heavy blows to the body. But Martin would not stop. He kept plunging in, shaking off the fabs and smiling at the blows, until he forced Gold stein into clinching.
 With his method established, Mar tin drove to the stomach and upper cut to the head His adversary was no match for him at this game, Round alter round saw hom fore ing the fighting, giving double for what he received. His courage never faltered in face 0: swings which rocked him from side to side.
 G0ldstein, on the other hand, was hanging after the first round and was cautioned by the referee. Al times Martin was compelled to use football tactics in releasing himself. Although the former champion ar- rarently was not seriously hurt by the inhghting, he was unable to re- turn 1t in any measure and constant ly looped his fingers about his op- poncnt's arms to save himself pun ishment
 Twelve thousand persons packed Madison Square Garden for the bout and for many Of the rounds were on their feet, roar greeting every skirmish.

 spitball pitcher of other days, to take the floor. just mention the fact that Notrc Dame has a great foot ball team.
 Ed will immediately agree, then proceed 10 tell you that 1t should be a much stronger one next season. or course there is a reason.
 Ed Walsh Jr., is freshman at Notre Dame this year. Next season he will be eligible for the varsity. If you take Eds word for 1t his off, spring is already a regular,
 It might also be we'll 10 mention that the young man is great pitcher, as you would naturally ex- pect.
 Walsh Sr is just as sure his son will star on the diamond, but strangely enough Is more anxious to discuss his football ability.
 Coach Knute Rockne has already admitted that young MT. Walsh is a very fine prospect.
 It is a coincidence that Billy Sul- liyan'S son is also at Notre Dame. Sullivan was Ed Wash's battery partner with the Chicago Americans. Both are sure 10 be tried out by the White Sox after leaving college if deslrous of entering the majors. Whenever an eastern or western team is defeated in an intcrscctional game on the Pacifice coast, the eli mate is favorite a!ibi. True, the climate does slow up the visitors, but there fig no getting away from the fact that they play real football out there. Southern California's decisive de- feat of Syracuse, even though fla vored by the breaks, is the first 1924 proof of the quality of the coast brand of football.
 Syracuse had a good team but far from great one However, it was fairly representative of eastern foot ball.
 Early in the season l saw Syracuse play Boston College It looked like great team that day, seemed to have a world of material. As l understand il, Syracuse played it's best game of the year against Boston College.
 The result of the three remaining coast games will give the football world the dope on that section.
 Defensivcly Syracuse played good l football this year but appeared 10 lack scoring punch. McBrides s great work just about saved the year from being bust" Connie Mack is banking on "Lcfty' Groves, star southpaw, pur- i chased from Baltimore, to make his cluh q strong pennant contender i We were just a trife shy on i pitching strength last season." was the way Mack put it to me ut the leaguc meeting.
 "A club must have one or more outstanding southpaws to get any where these days. There isn't a ] club in the American league that likes lett-handed pitching, i "Feimach looks as if hs had ar rived and the experts tell it that Groves Is q certainty. Such being the case l will be able to show the other clubs two classy southpaws next season.
 "I fcel that we have plugged up the several weaknesses in the club that were apparent last season and arc r"ady 10 make trouble.
