BOXING MOGULS
TURN BACKS
ON WALKER
By Universal Service.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The New
York athletic commission has refused
TO withdraw its decision that Mickey
Walker is unavailable for his match
with Tommy Milligan, the British
welterweight, which is scheduled for
January %.
Walker, the welterweight champion !;
jess Mcmahon, matchmaker for Tex
Richard, and Billy Ames, Milligan's
manager, called on the commission late
yesterday to present their combined
protest.
The commission repeated its state
ment that they thought the sore toe
which kept Walker from boxin; at
the benefit Christmas Fund Show
surely would not be in condition to
allow him to fight for some time.
The boxing fraternity, of course,
takes this decision By the commission
as a punishment for Walkers refusal
TO appear on the charity card after he
had been asked. Commission mem
bers scoffed at the infected toe pea
the champion offered.
The commission suggested that Gar
den promoters move the Harry Greb-
Tiger Flowers middle title match for
ward from February 20 to February
IL if both principals agreed. Flow
ers Is understood to be willing, but
Greb has made matches which will
take him 10 the Pacific Coast and it
is not likely that he will accept a new
arrangement.
Gene Tunney, now in Miami, Fla,
was advised 10 fulfill his agreement to
meet Jack Sharkey, Boston heavy
weight, at Madison Square Garden
March 10. Originally Tunney agreed
TO face Sharkey February 5.
Sharkey and Chick Suggs, bantam
weight, were reinstated upon request
Of the Massachusetts, boxing commits

RACE BETTING LEGAL
BUT CAN'T Be DONE

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 9.-Pl
Horse racing is not game Of chance
It is legal to bet on horses.
And yet it cannot be done.
This is the burden of a decision
handed down today by Judge L. b
Wight, third district colrt, in what
is known more or less Familiarity IN
horsedom as the "Redd racing act con
troyersy."
Under the decision, the act doef
not violate a section Of the Utah con-
stitution which provides that no leg
islation shall authorize a game Of
chance.
1.-THE court attended the races, and
from the courts observation finds
that the successful operation Of the
pari-mutuel system in connection with
horse racer is dependent upon max
ing the races and the pari-mutuel sys-
ten in connection Herewith as near
IL a game Of chance as possible" SAID
the Judge.
Weights to be carried in a par
ticular race are increased or decreas-
ed. Substitution Of jockeys not nam
ed on the printed programs is made
after the bets have been placed, but
substitution Of jockeys is not prac-
ticed on rare occasions, and there IS
no way by which the general public
in attendance at the races and who
places its bets thereon by means OF
the paci-mutuel system can determine
in advance Of the actual running OF
the race in such cases the jockey who
will ride the particular horse"
Excluding the section relating TO the
pari-mutuel system, the remainder Of
the act is valid, and in full effect, the
court held.
In the case, the Utah Horse Racing
and Breeding Association would re-
strain the Salt Lake City commission
ers from instituting suits under city
ordinances.
Plaintiffs end counsel, which de
Tended the constitutionality Of the act
said it has not been decided whether
70 file a motion for a new trial.

DEATH To BUGS
WATCHWORD5
IN GOLF
U.S.G.A. Renews War on
Grass-eating Insects
and Worms.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-CP)-Death to
worms and life to grass formed the
text OIL discussion at the annual meet
ing today of the United States Golf
Association, delegates listening to qex-
perts in eradication and cultivation.
The business sessions open this .af-
ternoon.
Although for every one Of the mil
lions of golfers there must be decilion
blades Of grass. play would become
ideal only by the extirpation of eat
least a quintillion of slugs and earth
worms, speakers from the federal De-
partment of Agriculture and in. the
employment of the association said
After o. b. Fits Of the Y. S. G.
A. experiment station had told how
grass could be grown by proper top
dressing with compost and fertilization
nth ammonium, II. X. Leach of the
Department of Agriculture related ex-
pcriments in poisoning the soil for u
depth Of four inches to kill off the
grub worms. g
Experiments were made in various
plots with acid lead arsenate, which
was mixed with the soil. Grubs and
worms, which swallow soil with their
forage OF grass roots could not live
in this mixture, but grass grew in
it. especially the bent varieties. Plots
of imprisoned soil alongside these
experimental grounds remained full OF
the pests. The toxic earth had kept
the worms out for three years al
ready and might prove effective for
several more years.
The practice has been to sprinkle
the turf with carbon bisulphide for
bugs and with mercury bichloride for
angle worms, but the treatment has
TO be repeated frequently and any
overdose kills the grass. The cost of
the new method is comparatively small
for material, but requires rebuilding
of putting greens at present. The
experts are now seeking a method OF
working the poison into the greens
without rebuilding.
URGES BETTER COURSE.
". A. Alexander of Chicago, ono
Of the pioneers in golf, urged greater
efforts toward better golf links and
accused the L. S. G. A. of falling to
enlist the support of the West prop
erly in the work, although golf was
growing faster in the West than on
the Atlantic Coast.
Mrs. G. A. Farley Of Cleveland an
nounced the opening of correspond
ence school for green keepers for the
U. s. G.. A., and the agriculture ex-
perts abctted this plan, asserting TINT
the average man in charge Of the up
keep Of courses was not capable OF
| handling the work scientifically.
Charles o. Pfeil, of Memphis, for
merly president of the Western Golf
Association and incoming vice presl-
dent of the Y. S. G. A, presided at
the meeting, which was attended by
the president-apparent, William Q.
Fownes Of Pittsburgh. Officers pre-
viously announced will be formally
elected tomorrow.

V|NEZ Fearful
FLOP IN BOUT
WITH TERR|S
By SAM HALL
Universal Service staff Correspondent.

Universal Service staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-France gave
US the Statute of Liberty but it never
should have sent us Lucien Yinez.
The faded Poilu, fighting his 439th
glove bout in the main event at the
New Garden last night, made the sor-
REST sort OF a showing while losing
a ten-round decision to Sidney Ter
ris, the speedy East Side lightweight
The Frenchman, champion of Eu-
rope, could not fight and he would
not fight. He never will get into
TEX" Richards big arena again
with boxing gloves on.
The European champion was 80
bad that many of a big crowd Of
1900 people that paid around S4O,-
600 TO watch the fisticuffs had walk
ed out on him before the conclusion
Of a bout that was painful to gaze
upon.
GOOD AT BLOCKING.
That it was a terrible fight was
not ferris fault. Sidney told his
best to make a fight Of it but Vinez
would not permit him. AS soon as
Lucien discovered that he was out
matched in speed and skill he went
into a shell and proved that he is ex-
pert in one thing-blocking. He GER
tainly did block well.
ferris had all kinds Of trouble con-
Meeting solid with the tall long-armed
Frenchman. He only had him rock
ing a few times and the only dam
age he did was to black Lucien'S right
eye and punch some skin off his nose.
The Frenchman was too cautious to
take a chance on getting hurt. In
several rounds he did not land a sin
gle punch. e.
Vinez did a little left jabbing in
the early rounds and in the last
three sessions landed several fairly
stiff right hands. They did not bother
Sidney.
HIT BACK OF HEAD.
In the tenth round ferris turned
his back 10 his foe and Vinez launch
ed his fiercest attack Of the fight.
He swung both hands TO the back Of
Sidney's head ferris whirled around
in an effort to catch Lucien with a
right to the jaw but missed. Be
wildered as he was by the fast foot
work Of his foe, Vinez was dizzy in
only one round. That was the sew
enth after which he went to the
wrong corner.
ferris won every round. He could
not miss doing that when he was
doing all the punching. He used his
right hand freely but got home better
with lefts 10 head and body. There
was no indication that his right hand
was in bad shape.
When il was all over the crowd
gave the Freedman a merry razzing.
II America still owes France any
thing il paid its debt by allowing
Vinez 10 box.
Terris weighed 1913 "a at o'clock
and Vinez 1874. Johnny McAvoy
refereed the fight and kept one hand
TO his face so Vinez would not see
him laughing.
