American League to have first claim
on them as players.
Waivers We're given by both leagues
on the players, so it is reported. If
that is the case, still another problem
is to be faced, because the men would
then be free agents under the 10-year
rule.
1t seems now that if the American
League had not wanted the two play
ers because of Dutch Leonards
revelations, it would have been better
policy in the first place to have re-
leased both outright.
All kinds of rumors have been in
circulation in Chicago about rivalry
between the New York clubs in seek
ing the services of Cobb. The former
Detroit manager is well on his way to
his home in Georgia. He was in
formed by Judge Lands that the de-
cision OF the commissioner office
would be made within this week. If
there is any objection to any part
of it, Cobb'S plea then rests squarely
with Lands because the whole mat
ter now is out of the jurisdiction of
the American League.
Pepper Report Is just Talk.
The talk about movement to in
duce Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania
to accept the presidency of the Ameri-
can League as Ban Johnson's sue
cessor is just that-talk. Most of it
originated with base ball writer's here
in Chicago and none of it was heard
among the American League owners,
when they came here for conference
with Johnson and Lands. There has
been no serious consideration given as
yet to a successor to Johnson.
Some base ball men who have been
foremost in criticising Johnson's
methods in the past now are censur-
ing the league because it gave John
son a rest. Medical men who are
cognizant Of the condition of John
son say 1t would have been next to
criminal on the part of the Ameri-
can League to have continued him
actively in office. Johnson has gone
to Excelsior Springs, Mo-, for his
health, but few who have seen the
change in the mans physical condi-
ton in the last few weeks are hope
full of his early recovery.

COMEBACK IN RING
IS MADE BY GARCIA
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, January 26.--I3obby
Garcia. the little Indian, and former
Army champion, seems to have found
the fountain of youth. Garcia, you
know. took an awful drubbing at the
hands Of Kid Kaplan when the latter
was the featherweight boss, and many
thought that Bobby was through as q
top-notcher.
Garcia was known throughout the
country for his wonderful gameness
and ability to make fight of II all
the way. He was busy fellow and
either made his opponent jump out OF
the ring or fight.
Lou Brown, the soldier lads mana
ger. says this about his charge:
Bobby Is not an everyday fighter

for him, because he is unable to fight
often. Bobby fights so hard and takes
such hard socks going to his man
that he is all done up after a. fight
and requires at least two weeks before
ne Is ready to answer the bell again
Unlike other fighters I have handled,
Garcia will not tell me to fight him
every week. He does not like the idea
or holding back and saving himself for
future matches. He Is one boy who
goes in there trying all the time and
gives all he has"
Garcia has taken a good rest, He
has taken on weight and is now mix
ing it with the junior iightweights.
Since his comeback Bobby has been
doing exceptionally we'll. Knocking
out his old rival. Lew Mayrs, In three
rounds was quite a feat. Then he
took on Ruby Stein and treated him
to the same dose in nine rounds.
1t was Bobby's luck to fash this
good work before Baltimore audiences.

was stationed just outside that city

This occasion was the first time
that Richard and Goldfield were
ever heard of.
Goldfield has slipped back since
that day in 1906, but Tex Richard
has come on.
Tex is easily the best, and the
best known, boxing promoter in
the world. Since that hot after
noon in Goldfield when Cans and
Nelson fought AZ round Rickard
has promoted many world cham
pionships. He has taken in some
$20,000,000 in gale receipts and
just the other day he added to his
Madison, Square Garden stock
until he now holds more than a
million dollars interest in the cor
poration.
He is president of the Richard

terprises in Texas and around the
city of his birth. an enthusiast in

Also he never threw away his

Twenty years ago Joe HUMPHREYS,

received a wire from a mining
town out West containing a most
extravagant offer of $4,000 for
Terry McGovern to fight Jimmy
Britt. Joe was managing Terrible
Terry at the time and when he
opened the wire he snickered out
loud.
Imagine anybody offering
prize fighter $4,000 win, lose or

And who was the nut that sent
such a wire? Nobody ever heard
of him or his town.
The "nut"-the man who sent
the telegram-was Tex Richard.

Naturally, Joe HUMPHREYS didn't
bother to answer such silly offer.
Nobody in their right mind would
think of offering that much money
