" Gus today over the report
from Walter Johnson that
the veteran pitcher will be with
the world champion Griffmen for
at least one more season. That

the hunt for the 1926 pennant

franchise in the Pacific Coast
League. He came within a hair

A few years ago Ban johnson
felt II was discrimination to exhibit
his magnates only in New York

his February meetings. In recent

nant. but its loyalty to Ban will
be rewarded with a schedule meet
ing.
A few minor matters Of league
organization probably will come up
for consideration. There's the
question Of increased pay for UNI
pires who work in world series;
the matter of a two-year option law
on young players, and the Ebbet's
plan for fixing world series dates.
That's about the extent of the Of
fetal business and all three pro-
posals should be passed without
much argument.
This exhibition of American
League magnates for the edifica-
ton Of st. Louis will close the Of
fetal winter league season. Hav-
ing kicked Ban all around the
Chicago Loop" when they were
last assembled, the American
League magnates now may hand
Ban q silver loving cup, q shaving
mug or something like that. Still,
some suspicious person may rise
UP in meeting and ask Uncle Ban
just what he meant by indorsing q
scheme for Federal control OF base
ball. Then the fun may begin all
over again.

For several years the American

veterans than upon promising
young players. Naturally, there
fore, they have fewer rockies to
graduate. Joe Cantillon used to

the association is topheavy with
veterans. The same goes for the

The Southern League and East

to act as examples for the younger
players.
There was a time back, five
years or so, when the Coast League
was made up largely Of castoffs
from the big show, but since then

PRICE
So Says Rumor Circulating
Broadway, Wall Street, and
Other Thoroughfares
By DAVIS J. WALSH

by OAVl0 Ss w ALOn
International News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Feb. 10. - The
rather dignified sum Of 81, loo, 900,
almost the size of the gate on the
night Dempsey fought Firpo, has
been set as the price of the cham
pion's possible return to the ring,
according to reports in circula-
ton today. It is declared that
Jack Kearns, noted collector of
rare and well-done coins, has de-
manded and will get that amount
for his champion before the latter
will step out, if at all, against
Tom Gibbons and Harry Wills,
during the impending outdoor
season. A round three-quarters
of q million has been demanded
for the Wills frolic alone, it is
said.
Neither Tex Richard nor those be-
bind the financing Of Henderson's
proposed stadium would admit to-
day that such was the case and
not without reason. It is q viola.
ton Of the boxing code in this
State to quote fixed guarantees to
any fighter.
Friends Of both promoters, how.
ever, were inSistent that the terms
quoted above were Kearns' own and
professed to having read kilograms
to that effect.
For the Gibbons bout, &c was
said, the Kearns demand was ex-
actIy 1856, 900 with the privilege
OF cutting IN on the receipts
- kNs1aA
would bring Dempsey at least
900 more than he received for
giving Carpenter q rough push
on the shoulder, the occasion IN
question being the last on which
Richard has made important
money out of q heavyweight bout.
The Dempsey-KeaEns interests
were Out-smarted on that occasion.
In this case, Kearns' terms. at
least for the Wills bout, are almost
luminous. They would force RICK
ard, IL that gentleman ever hac any
real interest in matching Wills and
Dempsey, to build a new arena or
q size quite beyond MS usual pre-
tentions. It would have to seat at
least 10, 900 and every chair have
q well financed occupant for the.
promoter to reach the financial
clear after paying Dempsey and
Wills their price.
It is more than likely, therefore,
that l1eA will abandon any thought
he may have had about this atLrac.
ton and confine his attention to
matching the champion with Glib
bons at a more modest and consol-
ing rate of exchange.
In this event. Wills can he used
az smoke screen, literally and
otherwise, for the Gibbons Dempsey
build-up, and il the role appeals 10
him, Charles Henderson may be
permitted the privilege Of holding
the bag.
