New York. Jan. 22 Pt--Announc- ing his selection Of Gene Tunney as the logical contender for the title and forecasting a clarifying state ment within the next -four or five days" Tex Rickard has given the pugiistic world IS first crumb of as surance that Jack Dempsey will de- fend the heavyweight championship under his promotion next sumner or fall.
 Still refusing to affirm that he has practically completed negotiations for q 12-round no decision title fight at BoyIe's Thirty Acres, Jersey City, Rickard nevertheless has admitted confcrring this week with Billy Gib- son, Tunncy's manager. He also has announced that he sees no cause 10 fear the displeasure Of the New York state athletic commission, which has ordered Dempsey to fight Harry Wills.
 T am not licensed matchmaker or promoter and what I may do al Boyles Thirty Acres Is my personal business" he says,
 With Gibson hastening south to confer with Tunney in Florida, Pad dy Mullins, manager Of Wills, re- mains hopeful that Dempsey will tulflI terms of tentative agreement he made to defend the title against the negro under the promotion of Floyd Fitzsimmons.
 "If Dempsey enters into any ne- gotiations to box Tunney before he meets Wills, he is not a man of his word," says Mullins. As far as Rick ard is concerned, Wills will receive no consideration.

CLOSE RACE FOR SCORING
 HONORSW CHURCHLEAGUE
Adams and Malone Tied With Deming Hewett Two Points Behnd-Nyborg Shines From Foul Line Semmens Leads in Foul Points - Duntz Leads ill Personal Fouls Made

With the first round of play in the
 lntor-Church basketball league at an end, merry race is being waged
 for scoring honors by the players on the five teams. Joel "I.anky"
 Adams, captain of the South church, and Malone, the slender forward of the kensington entry, are tied for first place with 4l points each, while Deming liewett of the Mcthodlsts is closely pressing them with 39. The next three places arc at present held by South church players, Cooley with 2G and Parker and Havlick with 24 apiece.
 None Of the members Of the first place Lutheran team figure in the scoring leadership. but this is part ly because they have played only three games and party due to the fact that their points arc evenly distributed, Ray Hoist, Oscar Lar son and "Nibby' Nyborg are only two points apart. so evenly match ed are the players on this outfit. The South church has four men well up. the Methodsts two, and Ken sington Malone alone. Johnson of the Blue Army showed well in his one game, but he and Woodward are lost to the team and none of the others have exhibited anything like scoring power,
 Adams is also tied for the greatest number of field goals. he and Dem ing Hewett having made l9 apiece
 Semmens, Methodist captain, has scored most often from the foul line, eight times, but he has had more tries than anyone else, l6. Real
 honors in this respect should go to Nyborg, who has made good seven out of nine tries. The South church
 has the greatest team total and number of field goals, while the
 Methodists have done the best foul shooting.
 Duntz of the Mcthodists has q big lead in the notso- -enviable matter or personal fouls, having made 14 In four games and been thrice elected on four fouls. His teammate, V. Braddon; Cooley of the South church; and Hart and Hall of Ken sington are next with seven each. Records indicate Malone has cs- caped most lightly in this respect,
 having fouled only twice in four
 games. The porsoual fouls, by teams
 arc as follows: First LutKeEa Ean 26,

 in TOrrid Handball Match

The Commercials, Nolley ball eX- traordinarios. came back strong in last nights contests at the Y. NJ. C. A. and trimmed the Bremen the best two out Of three games played. The Smoke-eatcrs put up poor brand of ball in the first game and were able to score only two points to their opponents 15. In the sec ond game, the Bremen offered lit- He better competition and were able to garner seven points while in the third contest, the Commercials were over confident, were outplaycd and went down to defeat 1 to l2.
 Tho second match between the Professionals and the Mechanics proved full of action with the former tcam offering the stiffest kind of de- fcnsc and resistance but the Me chanics soon detected inc weak spots and hammered the ball for aces until the Professionals were dizzy. Brad don Brothers and Roscnswoig of the Mccahnics starred fo their team and I.oomis, DCssel and Grove were tho big points for the Professionals.

(BY BILLY EVANS)

From just a pinch-hltter to a regular big league berth in the out field in one short year.
 In 8 sentence that sums up the career of Walter French as mem Der of the Philadelphia Athletics. Not so many years ago French was football star at West Point, as we'll as sensational diamond per former.
 Comic Mack, in summing up his plans for the coming season, has made the definite announcement that French is his choice for right field
 With French in right field and Al Simmons in center, the Athletics will present the unusual spectacle of two players using baseball stances that are entirely unorthodox.
 Simmons pulls badly from the plate, yet is one of, the greates, batsmen in the American league. some critics refer 10 him as Foot in the Water Bucket" Simmons. American league pitchers say lot of worse things about him.
 French hits the ball with his feet wide spread. He doesn't step into the ball but rather hits from a flat footed position. Opposing pitchers ridiculc his style but Walter does more than that to their offerings.
 French is probably the fastest man in the American league, straight away. When the 1925 season opened his role was that of pinch runner and hitter. He was re- markedly successful at both.
 In the difficult job of pinch hitter, French had q batting streak from June 30 to July 25 that was de- cidedly out of the ordinary. In that period he was used nine times. He responded with six hits, laid down sacrifice and struck out twice.
 Thus in nine times at bat he de- liverel as Connie Mack would have him, six safe drives and 8 sacrifice as per instructions. Average .75O.
 His ability to hit in pinches so impressed Mack that it finally won him a berth as a regular. He ins mediately proceeded to prove to the estimable Mr. Mack that he had made no mistake.
 Starting with the game of Seprem. ber l6, French played I4 games in right field before the close of the season. He hit safely in II of theln getting ? hits, four of his drive, being good for two bases. Tn fouI of the games he hit safely three times.
 During the season he was used q, 6. pinch hitter on 39 occasions anc had q mark of ,35l. an average O better than hit in every thrc, times up, Hie seasons averae, was .37h.
 If French can continue where h, left off as a hitter, his presence ir the Philadelphia outheld Is going {, make Mack's club more dsngrrou than ever as a pennant contender.
