THAT SCHOLARSHIP THING
Eligibility is another stumbling

Rosenberg Match
With Graham Set
Now For Jan. II

NEW YORK, Dec. % (AP) -
Charley (Phil) Rosenberg's much
discussed batamweight title bout
with Bushey Graham, of Utica, N.
y, was fixed today for January
IA at Madison Square Garden af-
ter several more chapters had
been added to the verbal debate
over it.
Having refused to go through
with the fight January 7 and re-
questing an extended postpone
ment, Rosenberg was hailed before
the State Athletic Commission to-
day and put on the official scales.
He. Weighed 129 1-2, partly dressed,
and the boxing solons decided this
amounted to 125, stripped. BY
further deduction they figured it
would take only one more week s
work for Rosenberg to remove
seven pounds and make the. re-
quired class figure of 118.
Accepting this verdict the cham
pion promised to post a forfeit OF
$2500 tomorrow to guarantee
weight and appearance for the title
battle at Madison Square Garden
The commission shuffled the
welterweight elimination. deck to
permit a return match between
Joe Dundee, Of Baltimore, and his
recent conqueror, Eddie Roberts
the Tacoma Terror" They will
meet at the Garden probably early
in February as the feature of a
card which also will pit Willie
Harmon, OF New York, third of
the officially recognized welter-
weight contenders, against some
other rival.

judge, has been retained as legal
representative by Ty Cobb, and
will confer with the Georgian here
tomorrow or Friday in steps to be

connection with the present base

Mr.. Murfin, in announcing plans
for the conference tonight, said
steps to be taken would be out
lined after he had gone over the
whole matter with the former De-
troit manager.
Asked if the plans for clearing
Cobb's name involved taking the
matter before the courts, Mr.. Muir
fin said lie was not at liberty to
say at this time, that "all I can
say is that am sure we will find
g way Of getting Cobhs side Of
this case before the pubic in sdef-
mite faslli9n and will clear his
name OF any stigma which might
attach to the present baseball
! 5candal. I have known Cobb for
twenty years and l am convinced
CT his innocence"

go into the affair Immediately. He

RICHARD PICKS
5 new CHAMPS,
FOR YEAR 1927

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S (AP)--Tak-
ing his annual glance into the fis-
tic future book, Tex Rickard to-
day predicted that five new boxing
champions will be crowned in
1927
The promoter, In a signed story
published by the Evening World,
named Mickey Walker. Pete, Latzo,
Sammy Mandell and Charley
(Phill Rosenberg, as the titlehold-
ers he expects to see deposed, with
e successor picked to fill the
featherweight vacancy caused by
the retirement of Kid Kaplan. y
All the same time Rickard defin-
itely committed hiinselfsto heavy
weight program in which Jack
Dempsey win meet the winner of
the promoters elimination tourna-
ment to determine Gene Tunney's
next opponent.
Dempsey To Get Chance
Dempsey will return east the
end of January and by July his
opponents should have been es-
tablished," Rickard wrote. "By
fighting the best of the challeng-
ers he will be able to prove wheth-
er he has any chance against his
onpnuaro,,
.Rickard named Jack Sharkey
and jim Maloney, both of Boston,
as the outstanding heavyweight
contenders, in addition to Demp-
sey. He qualified this, however,
by adding there was strong
likelihood that either Jack Delan-
ey or Paul Berlenbach would prove
the best of the lot"
Scene Tunney will take on the
man who has proven himself th,eN
best of the challengers," added
the promoter, "and believe the
outcome will demonstrate that the
'conqueror of Dempsey"i is a much
greater exponent of the manly art
than seems to be generally appre-
ciated."
See "OutdO0r" Failure
Predicting that the outdoor sea-
son will be even more Of a bloom
er" than 1926, Richard said he
planned only two big shots" next
summer One of these would pit
Dempsey against a logical rival In
July, the winner to meet Tunney
in September. The promoter plans
both bouts for the Yankee. stadi-
um, which will have an increased
seating capacity, probably for
handling close to 100000 fight
fans.
OF the champions facing the
most formidable opposition, Rick
ard believes Walker, new middle
weight king, will have his troubles
against either Maxey Rosenbloom,
X. o. Phil Kaplan or Tiger Flows
ers, the former champion.

PLACE CASES IN

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. % (Ap)--
iris Speaker and Ty Cobb, involv-
ed in the nations latest baseball
scandal, thumbed through law
books today in the office of Will
liam II. Boyd, attorney for Speak,
er.
Possibility of a damage action
instituted by Speaker against
those responsible for making pub
lie the scandal appeared as he and
Cobb went over their side Of the
case with Boyd.
Speakers attorney admitted that
he is gathering evidence to deter
mine whether the former manager
OF the Cleveland Indians has any
recourse at law to clear his name
Of the charges that he helped fix
o baseball game between Detroit
and Cleveland.
Neither Boyd or Speaker, how
ever, would discuss their plans or
admit they have definite intentions
Of suing organized baseball for
damages. Cobb likewise was ST.
lent There was some indication
that the former Detroit manager
also would engage an attorney. If
he does he undoubtedly will have
separate counsel, Boyd said.
Speaker and Cobb expected to
remain overnight in Cleveland as
they will have further conferences
with Boyd tomorrow. They arriv-
ed here this morning from Wash
ington.
Should Speaker decide to take
legal action against those who dis
credited his name, the suit prob
ably would be filed in, Federal
court as the state courts are be-
lieved without jurisdiction. Such
action also would be SEPARATE, it
was pointed out, as Speakers
name was not mentioned in the
