Stanley Harris Work in Coal Mine When He Was Only Is
M'TIGUE AND WALKER
TO FIGHT TOMORROW

NEW YORK. January 6.-For a
time boxing titles may be expected to
remain where they are, with the
champions waiting for the outdoor
season before facing worthy oppo-
nents.
Mickey walker, weIterweight cham
pion, and Mike McTigue. the king of
the light -heavyweights, meet tomor-
row night in Newark, with little dan
ger of any crowns changing hands,
although the battle should be in
terestinG.
There is nothing for McTigue to
win. for he is far beyond the welter-
weight limit, while Walker processes
to see an opportunity TO annex an
other championship. AS the mattel;
is of the ''no-decision" type, the only
kind permitted in New Jersey, Wake:
must knock out his man 10 realize
his ambition.
Kid Kaplan of Meriden, Conn, who
recently won the featherweightc cham
pionship in the eyes of the New York
State Athletic Commission, has de-
| clared his intention to participate in
several matches on the Pacific coast
under the new 12-round law, in which
he will not risk his title, as he will
contract for appearances over the
Leatherweight limit of 126 pounds.
Eddie (CannonbalD Martin of
Brooklyn, who recently captured tho
bantamweight title, has elected to
| become a fighting champion, but his
campaign 50 far indicates that he
also is waiting for the large assem-
blies out OF doors before signing for
a match that might disturb his
honors.
Jack Dempsey, heavyweight cham
pion, promises to fight in New York
! this Summer, probably in the new
stadium being erected in Long Island
City, which is expected to seat no,
900. and for which ground was broken
yesterday.
Benny Leonard, lightweight king
remains on the stage, and has no ap-
pointments of a fistic nature sched-
uled.

Gregg has no grievance against
his new owners. nor is it likely he
objects to becoming affiliated with d
championship outfit, but he is eN-
ceedingly diSpleascd with the Off
cials of the Seattle club. which CT
fectcd his sale to Washington. and
has asserted he will leave the game
OF base ball fiat on its back unless
he is placatcd.
AS might well be imagined Gregg's
complaint has to do with money. 1t
seems that the share of his purchase
price allotted him by Seattle when
the Pacific Coast League outfit trans
ferred his title to Washington fell
considerably short of what Sylvanus
believed he should receive, so he has
f1ounced off to his home in Canada.
threatening to retire from the game
unless his ideas get more considera-
tion.
Wade Killefer, manager of Seattle,
is quoted in dispatches from the West
as saying that his club gave Gregg
bonus of 1900 from his sale to
Washington, besides paying his cx-
penses back home, contrary to the
general rule and adding, Gregg is
unreasonable if he asks for more"
Gregg Writes TO Grif.
The first intimation that trouble
might be encountered in inducing
Gregg to wear uniform with world
champions lettered on it was re-
ceiYed by Griffith when he submitted
a contract some time ago. The for
mer famous southpaw of the Cleveland
club In a letter to Griff asserted that
the Seattle team had not lived up to
certain promises made to him and
that unless it forked over he would
nullify his sale to Washington by
refusing to report.
Griff Immediately sought. to learn
from the Coast League club what the
row was all about, but as yet has
received no answer to his letter. The
local boss purchased Gregg, condi-
tional upon the player reporting here.
and if he refused the deal will auto
matically be off. Griff says he
knows nothing about the merits of
the controversy between his 40-year-
old rookie and the latter's 1924 en-
ployers, but that unless the big left

according to the schedule. at $50 and
in a 5000 meter run which is on the
schedule as the closing event of the
meet, to be run at 1880. In these
two races Nurmi viii make his first
effort at indoor running. His actiVi-
ties throughout his brilliant career to
date have been confined TO the out
door running conducted abroad, where
indoor running facilities are not
available. Making his races against
the cream of Americas running mate
rial at the two distances, Nurmi. con-
fident of triumph despite his lack of
experience in indoor running, will
strive for four indoor records.
Would Shatter Records.
The great Finnish runner will seek
to establish two marks in each of his
races. In the one-mle race Nurmi
has requested that timers be placed
at the 1,500-meter mark in order that
he may assault the record OF 4:01 3-5
made by Joie w. Ray. Illinois A. c. star,
who will be one of Nurmi's most
formidable rivals tonight. Nurmi also
will strive TO Shatter the indoor rec
ord OF Ala 3-5 for mile, q five-year-
old mark which also is held by Ray.
IN the D,uUU- meter race NUrml has
requested that timers be placed at
the thrce-m mark. where he will
attempt to improve on the record of
1915 4-5 made by Willie Ritola, Fin
nish-American A. c. star. two years
ago. In this test Nurmi also will seek
10 erase the record of 1854 80 for
900 meters. which was established
by Ray on March :. 1923.
50 confident are his Finnish ad-
mirers in this city that Nurmi not
only will capture both races but that
the four records which are to be at
tackled will be surpassed. that the
officials of the meet have ordered
special set Of record prizes to be
awarded in the event new marks arc

The reports which have reached here
from Chicago are to the effect that
Ray is running in the form which
once made him practically invincible
a this distance. He is expected to
extend Nurmi il the reports are true.
Connolly's feat in winning a mile

rivee also are reported prepared for
a keen race.
The race between Nurmi and Ritola

to live long in memory. The race

ing Of rivalry between the two Fin
nish runners which started at the
Olympic games when Ritola pressed
Nurmi to a, record before the latter
won the 5,0o0-meter title chase by a
stride. Ritola has prepared himself
especially for this test in which he
will have the advantage of indoor
running experience over Nurmi, and
the American developed runner is
said to be confident he will beat his
famouss countryman. George Ler-
mond, Verne Booth, Fred Wachmuth
and Gunnar Nilsson also are entered
for this event.
