FERGUSON ID MEET
 FLYNN AT GARDEN
Northford Battlsr VIII. Make
 Debut Before Gotham Fans

Meriden, Jan. 26-Tracey Ferguson, Northford walloper, who has trod the rocky path of Fistiana, has stepped another notch higher in the fight world, so it was announced late last night. Tracey makes his debut at Madison Square Garden on the night of February 15 in a six-round fight meeting Paddy Flynn, of Boston, at 153 pounds ringside.
 Fergusin is a member of the same stable to which Louis (kid) kaplan belongs and the promotion from Con- neeticut fight clubs to what is consid- cred the greatest arena of swat in the world is a good promotion. With Kaplan appearing in the Garden Feb ruary 1 and Ferguson February 15 Dennis McMahon, manager of both, will be almost more travelled man than d vaudeville actor and, taking that last crack into consideration, they are on the go practically all the time so one can call the genial Denny quite a globe-trotter.
 The entire card has not been made out yet for the Garden show on this date, but the Ferguson-Flynn bout is assured. Ferguson will go i'm to training at the Casino within few days for the big event.
 Kaplan Stepping Fast.
 Louis (Kid) Kaplan, local entry in the race for the featherweight title race with Johnny Dundee, champion, as the ultimate goal, went through R hard workout yesterday at the Casino where he is carrying onhis rigid pro- gram of training for bis coming bout. Louis is dated up with Eddie Brady, Brooklyn leather pusher, for 12- round swatfest at Madison Square Garden February 1, as a preliminary joust to the Pal Moran-JohnnyDun dee battle, the main trick in the bag held by Tex Rickard, impressario di- rector of fights in New York.
 Louis and Young Leonard. that blonde-haired Sheik of Wallingford, went four rounds yesterday with the padded mittens and both were in bril- liant shade of pink when they had called 1t an afternoon. Leonard is. by the way, preparing himself for a bout with Young Marcel Tuesday night at footguard hall. Hartford, as part of the program fla conjunction with the Jimmy Cooney-Al Shubcrt affair. By the way Leonard has been working with Kaplan, and tho labor they have piled on his shoulders he will be in condition for tho Holyoke Frenchman when they meet.

SHELBY PUTS IN BID FOR
 DEMPSEY GIBBONS BOUT
Offers $5O0,OOO For Battle But Tex Rickard Fails to Become
 Excited

New York. Jan. 26.-Shelby, the little Montana boom town where the Dempsey-Gibbons heavyweight cham pionship fight last July 4 left trail of financial disaster has risen again from obscurity to offer s50O,000 for the 1924 version of the Dempsey-Gib- bons fued.
 Tex Rickard, who plans to stage the return title fight here during the first week in June, announced he had re- ceived such an offer on behalf of the Shelby chamber of commerce for a bout there next July 4. The promoter hastened to add, however. that he did not view seriously the offer, which is $200,000 in excess of the guarantee made Dempsey year ago and which the Montana men failed to meet after a financial struggle that eclipsed in intensity the ring battle, it involved.
 Shelby" commented Rickard, ''is game, anyway"

The other day the wires carried g story that the Boston Red Sox had purchased Inhelder Dudley Lee from the Tulsa, tOkla.) club of the Western league for s50,oo0.
 Fancy Price for Rookie
 Lee Fohl, manager of the Browns, tells me that someone slightly padded the figures in the Lee case, the exact amoupt being much closer to s25,o00 than s50,000. Even at that here is a club paying at least half as much for youngster as did the Chicago club for Collins, then rated the best second sacker in the game.
 When John McGraw paid the 1n- dianapolis club of the American As- soeiation si1.000 for Rube Marquard it was heralded as one of the sporting sensations of the year. It was used as first page news.
 Yet, to my way of thinking, the sale that started "frenzied finance" in baseball with relation to buying minor league stars. was the deal that Barney Dreyfns of the Pittsburgh club made for the famous St. Paul. (Minn.) bat tery, o'Toole and Kelley.
 Remarkable pitching by o'Toole, who was a spitballer, caused practical ly every major league club. to bid for him. Dreyfus finally secured o'Toolc and his catcher, Billy Kelley, for the sum of s22,50o, figure heretofore unheard of in baseball. For weeks the magnitude of tho transaction was the main topic of conversation on the sport pages of tho country.
 Cheek Proves Big sale
 In certain quarters the sale price was regarded as mere bunk" The St. Paul club finally produced the can eeled check as proof. Said check was reproduced in as many papers as the photographs of o'Toole.
 O'Toole proved more or less Of, a fizzle. Tho possessor of a deceptive spitball. he lacked control, and when the major leagues waited him out his effectiveness was greatly minimized. He is classed in the light of failure.
 It is said that o'Toole's failure caused Barney Drcyfus to put a ban on all spitballers, and that his scouts were instructed to pass up any pitch CT who depended on the splitter for success. No more trick pitchers for Barney.
 Today s22,500 is a piker figure for a minor league star.
New Britain herald., 1924-01-26
tBy Billy E,ans)

Who started "frenzied finance" in baseball. relative to the purchase oi minor league stars?
 Fifteen years back, if some bush league" phenom sought by a halt dozen major league clubs brought s7,5e0 it was regarded as q fabulous price to have paid for an untried re- cruit.
 Those days, however, are over, for at present there is no limit to what a big league will pay for player of promise.
 The increased value now placed on the bush leaguer also goes for the veteran who is rated as one Of the outstanding stars.
 When Eddie Collins was sold by Connie Mack to the Chicago White Sox the price was reported as s50,000. That is probably what it was. Ger tainly no more.

By The Assoriated Press.

By The Assoriated Press.
 San Francisco, Jan. 26.-Gene Sar- azen, American professional golf champion, was leading three up in the first half of his seventy-two hole match with Arthur c. Havers, holder of the British open title, played on the Lake Merced Golf and Country club links.
 Sarazen will carry his lead to the second half of the match, which will be played at the Hillcrest Country cub at Los Angeles Sunday.
 The American was much steadier throughout the days play than the British champion. Rain fell most of the day and in the afternoon many of the greens were puddles. Several times the contestants used mashies on the greens to drive through the water.
 Havers outdrove Sarazen in the aft ernoon round. but was unable to ne- gotiate the pondlike greens. Sarazen, however was steady in the vicinity of the cup and got most of his lead in ihis way.
 Par for the eighteen holes is T and the distance. 6,57o yards.

Some people don't know when they arc beaten. Take the town of Shelby for instance, The poor old burg was cleaned out and mile in debt after the Dempsey-Gibbons bout. Now the sporting promoters in that place have dug up--or threaten to dig up--s500,. 000 for another Dempsey Gibbons af. fair. Shelby is game, us Tex Rickari says. But so is an elephant when |, is mad. And any school hoy knows that there is more ivory in an ele- phant than there is on pool table.
 Our old friend tho Hon. Mir. Ski, Of Africa and France, has disappear cd. But why all the wild excitement. If he would stay put. for two con- secutive hours, it would be something to worry about. That would Dc front page news.

Sarazen found sand traps and the rough on many tee shots but his re- ooveries were little short Of marvel GUS. Throughout he was steadier on the greens and fairways than HaNers. Only once, on the 7th hole in the morning round, was he ever down to the British champion. but on the next hole he squared the match. From that time on it was Hayers fighting to keep even.
 Havers, credited with being one Of the longest drivers in the world, was out-driven by Sarazen in tho morning, but in the afternoon, the British eN- pert found his stride and outdistaneed sarazen from almost every tee.
