oly is foolish. We will pay for a fight just what we think it will draw so as to give us a profit. If l could do better by staging the fight in some other section I would certainly do so If, however, I had thought other places just as good as the New York section, l would not have taken a lease on Madison Square Garden.
 Efforts have been made by the Boxing Commission to compel cham pions to defend their titles in New York. One plan is to transfer the title if they decline to do so.s That how ever, Is a very difficult thing to do. Fans refuse to believe that a man has lost his title unless they see him lose 1t in the ring. The opportunity of seeing him lose it--or win it-is what keeps the box office going.
 To me 1t doesn't make a great deal of difference, except that if the box ing champions stay out of the ring I will have to end my promoting days. The cost of the~ Garden is enormous. We must make a profit of at least $10,00O a week to keep going. The Garden costs us $1,500 a day whether we have any fights or not.
 Personally do not need to make any more money. The game has been still regard it as sport, There are other games, though.
 Past chapters have shown, perhaps, that my life has been pretty full of events. could not quietly withdraw into retirement. I must have action. It is my joy.

She will be pitted against Lucie Cannon in the game with the Pantherettes. Cannon is a good shooting center and an &C., curate passer.
 The style of basketball played by the local colleges is a mans game.

 The coming game should be equally as we'll played for the Partners are working hard. this week for revenge regain lost ground in the coming game. The Bulldog sharpsh ooters got to hit ting the ,basket with great regularity form long distance in the second half of the first encounter and won the contest. The Partners played a great efnsyged one point in the lead at the end of the first period but were unable to hold the lead.
 F. Teams In Good Shape
 Both teams will be in fine trim for the game. Although the Panthers will against them they will at least start 1t with their star defensive man, Hoyt Levie, in the lineup. He was put out on four personal fouls in the first half of the game Monday night while the Bulldogs lost an offensive star in Ham" Stevens over the same route. A good number of personal fouls were committed during the encounter but the game was unusually clean and whatever roughness cropped out was through hard play and not intentional. Expert handling of the game as referee by Coach Erwin also made the contest smooth affair.

OROURKE JUST
 SORE--RICKARD

NEW YORK. Feb. 20.-Events moved rapidly today in the wake of sensational charges by Tom O'Rourke before the boxing repeal hearing at Albany that Tex Rickard, Madison Square Garden promoter, had aided ticket spectators in connection with the Dempsey Firpo championship fight last September, turning over to one broker a block worth $135, 900 which was later returned unsold.
 Rickard ridiculed' the charges in a formal statement calling upon the state athletic commission for an immediate investigation and 1t was indicated this would be the first step in sitting the situation despite reports from Albany that O'Rourke's accusations might be turned over to special grand jury for possible action.
 George E. Brower,' chairman of the commission, declined to say just what course the boxing solons would follow. but made public a letter to Rickard warning the promoter that unless spec ulators who are alleged to operate about Madison Square Garden are curb ed, the commission will close the arena and revoke it's license.

In Case Frank Chance Is Unable To Resume Duties
 Veteran Gets Job

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-Eddie Collins. captain of the Chicago Americans, may become the manager of the team, if Frank Chance, recently named mana ger. who is i'll at his home on the Pa cific coast. is unable to go through with the contract he has with Charles A. Comiskey, club owner
 Such was the information trtckling out bit by bit last night after denials by club officials and mysterious ru- mors that Collins either was or was not here. Collins came to Chicago yes terday, leaving the train at suburban station and being taken in an automo- bile to conference of team oifleials. Any announcement of the appoint ment of Collins to succeed the peerless leader" may not come until Chance Is better able to gauge the extent or his illness. In telegram to President Co., miskey yesterday, Chance said his doc ton to join the team before the season starts.
 It is considered possible, however, that Collins may be named at once, to [ enable him to arrange details and as- sume charge of the team when the first players leave for the training camp in Winter Haven, Fla, on February 29. CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-Despite efforts of sport writers to "inflict" Eddie Col lins on the White Sox management for series of secret conference, club of ficials continued Wednesday to insist that Collins had not been here. ! Some scrlbes insisted they had seen Collins and talked with him. and one wrote that Eddie emerged from the Twentieth Century Limited disguised in false whiskers, to be whisked away to Comiskey's offices without being photo graphed ariS ST.erviewed.
 Harry Grabiner. Sox secretary, con tinued to insist Collins had not visited in Chicago. He said the player was at his home in Philadelphia.
 Why don't the newspapers let the Sox aloneS' Grabiner walled, exas- perated by repeated inquiries made con cernins reports that Collins was about to be traded to the Tanks, or that he would become Frank Chances successor as manager of the White Sox. But Harry probably didn't mean it:
