CHICAGOAIVs APE

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.A duplicate
Of Madison Square Garden for Chi
cage and Mickey Walker-Harry
Greb bout here next spring in place
of the proposed Dempsey.Wills
fight, were sprophesied by Jack
Kearns as he left Chicago for the
East today
Chicago doesn't want the Demp-
wills fight: the promoters don
want Il, Jack remarked casually.
sThe Walker bout is proposed
with Greb as an opponent to mark
the introduction OF legaIized boxing
in Chicago. Should Greb- be UNI
able to- appear, Benny Leonard
would be asked to step from retire
ment, celebrating his return in q
new class. Either bout would bring
together two champions. Memorial
Day or Whereabouts is suggested as
the time
The construction OF a recreation
temple here to rival Tex Richards
sport mecca long has been the
dream Of q certain group Of mil
llonaires and local promoters.
Kearns explained. Their zeal has
lost none Of its bouyancy since
Rickard opened his new Garden,
and on the contrary, II has been
exposed to an impetus that even
Kearns respects.
The success that has trailed
hockey into New York. drew de-
cision from these men-who are
behind the Walker bout-and has
stimulated immediate action. Kearns
confessed.

concluded.
Kearns continues to speak kindly
OF Dempsey. but always insists he
win be protected legally in his
checking up II the champion ever
meets ..either Wills or Tunney, both.
Of whom have been matched by
Kearns in agreements with Richard.
Rickard is the only promoter
in the world Jack calculated as
q parting shot. And If Dempsey
ever fight again, you can bet Rick
ard will stage Il.

NINE ELEvENS WITHOUT
COACHES FOR NEXT YEAR

There are nine Eastern colleges
yet to name their football coaches
for the 1926 season. Harvard must
name a successor to Bob Fisher
Brown University must replace Ed
Robinson: Dick Harlow has trans
ferred from Colgate to Western
Maryland. and Capt John McEwan
has left West Point for Oregon.
Also there are rumors that Mai.

Paul Berlenbach has promised
Jack Delaney another chance.
"Just as soon as you like and
at any place." was Paul,s an
swer. Another match would not
change the present situation.
BerTenbach now has Delaney's
number. Just as certain as 1926
is coming, Jack was closer to
grabbing the title when he
foored Paul in that well re-
membered fourth round than
he ever will be again.

By JOHN ]. CONNOLLY

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 81.
Gene Valla, Seal outfielder, prob
ably occupies the strongest posi-
ton of any young ball player
IN the Pacific Coast League. He
has demonstrated beyond the
shadow of doubt that he is
better than the average youngster
coming into the circuit, yet he has
failed to impress major league
owners with any amount or con-
fidence as to his ability to play
big league baseball.
Ordinarily any young fellow who
hits over 800 for few seasons be
rims to draw the attention OF the
scouts. Every big league owner
wants players who can hit.
vaIla for four years has hit for
an average OF .342. The lowest
batting average he has had in that
time has been 1888, which isn't to
be coughed at.
For four years Valla has secured
on an average or 2Sb hits per sea.
son. and over the same period OF
time has scored 1s5 runs q season.
Yet If you bring these facts be-
fore q big league scout who Is
searching for timber, he counters
the remark, He'll never hit big
league pitching"
One scout who watched VaIla
closely over period OF weeks
didn't like his stance at the plate.
Another remarked he'd never do
ir a big ball park because he had
q weak arm.
IN the face OF the judgment Of
these scouts, however, VaIla goes
right along, ranking each season
with the most valuable players In
the league.
Now the question arises. how,
long win Nalla have to remain in
q minor league before he conyinces
the major leagues that they are
overlooking a real bet.
With the dawn OF the 1926 season,
VaIla win begin his fifth year as
q coast Lacquer. He broke In UNI
der the late Jack Miller In 1922 as
q rank busher, and before the 1922
season was over he was trailing
Jimmy O'ConneH and Willie Kamm
an batting. In his first year In
Ia games VaIla hit Tor q per.
~centage Of 333 He belted out 162
base hits. scored 81 runs and bat
ted in 4s himself.
In 1923 VaIIa played in 1s4
games. hit for an average Of 1874,
scored 139 runs, banged out I'll
hits, and clOuted in 60 runs.
During the 1924 season ValIa took
part in IT'S games. hit for an aver
age of 1867, scored lag runs, got
26s base hits, and stole % bases
Last year, in 1T games, Valld
hit 1913. scored 152 runs, raped
out 156 hits, stole Is bases, and
finished as one OF the classiest bali
hawks in the loop.
If there isn't merit in Valla's
claim for big league recognition,
then the majors are getting more
hard boiled each season. And IL
the major league owners are not
smart enough 10 realize that Valla's
fate il working toward discouragiLg
other youngsters from turning their
efforts to professional baseball. then
it's about time II was called to their
immediate attention.

= this souabble over profess
sional football. Every professional
coach makes his living out q
football. yet this association would
cry "Out, damned Spot" TO those
who would either play profess
sionally, coach professional
eleven or officiate in = profess
sional game.
There are some highly paid
football coaches in this country.
They earn their pay too, II might
be said without qualification.
They work hard and long for
what they get. What seems TO
bother them considerably is that
here and there a Red Grange
can collect in q month or 50 more
than they can get in eight or ten
years.
There may not be another
Grange in a. generation. It is.
ridiculous for the coaches to
adopt such resolutions az they
have in New York this week.
They make their living out Of
athletics and would have no others
do the same except in the same
manner. This is drawing fine
line in making a living.
Really, this whole situation is
worthy of laugh. Here it is
Ha, Ha!
The Washington times., 1925-12-31

Suddenly one Harold Grange,
called generally "Red" because Of
his flaming head piece, hoped
into the picture. Some wicked
sports writer discovered Red d
star behind the Illinois Uni
versity line, and said 50. He said
so more than once. Others took it
up and soon thousands of folks
began to think of RED" Grange.
BY the way, that first writer was
Warren w. Brown, sports editor
of Mr.. Hearst's Chicago Herald
Examiner, one bloke who knows
good thing when he sees it.
AS q result Red drew thou
sands to see him perform and Illi-
nois University made thousands
Of dollars. Bob Zuppke, the Illi-
nois coach, was acclaimed won
der coach for turning out such
q fine piece of football statuary.
They have a new stadium at Illi-
nois and don't tell anybody that
"Red" Grange didn't have any
thing to do with its erection.
Then one day it was learned
that "Red" Grange wanted some
Jack for himself. He was tired
working for nothing, with all the
dough going to the University of
Illinois. The fat was in the fire.
The Four Resolutions
THE annual meeting Of the
football coaches has just
\ been. concluded in New York.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
/. After September /, 1926,
no man connected with pro-
fessional football in any ca
pacity whatsoever, as player,
official or coach, may be
eligible to membership in the
American Football Coaches
Association.
2. After September /, 1926,
no member of the coaches
association may select all
America or any other all-star
football teams for any agency
whatsoever.
3. The coaches association
is in favor of limiting daily
football practice to two hours,
and is in favor of starting
practice not before September
Is, except at such colleges
where claSSVOrLr is hepun he
: fore that date. =.
4. The coaches association
is against over-emphasis in
football and appointed COM
mittee to cooperate with the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association and the National
Amateur Athletic Federation
in eliminating it as much as
possible.
