SHARKEY,HOWEvER,
IS 2TO-1 FAvOR|TE
Akron BattIer May Get
StribIing Bout if He Can
Win Tonight.

N YEW YORK, January 25 Up
While sweet dreams of Miami
Beach enfold them, Jack Shar-
i key and K. o. Christner clash
in 10-round bout in Madison
Square Garden tonight.
ChriStner, the rubber tire induStryS
gift to heavyweight ranks, is confronted
with the chance of lifetime. A knock
out victory for Ism would automatically
shove Sharkey out of his match with
Young Stribling at Miami Beach Feb
ruary 81. At the same time there is
more than chance that such an upset
would establish the Akron rubber
worker as an entirely adequate SubSti-
tute for Sharkey against Stribling.
But the Akron battler'S impressive
record Of 81 knockoutS in "A fights has
not disturbed the gambling fraternity
in its conviction that Sharkey will win,
and win decisively. They are backing
that conviction at odds Of three to one.
Despite the Boston sailorman's notori-
GUS inconsistency. most experts believe
he will dispose of Christner If for no
other reason than that he must IL he
is to meet Stribling at Miami Beach.
Christner was virtual unknown I'M
til two months ago, when ne won by
knockout over Knute Hansen. the mel
ancholy Dane. at that time considered
one Of the leading contenders for the
throne Gene Tunney vacated. ChriStner
is tough, can take it and can hit. but
he does not begin to compare with
Sharkey in boxing skill nor in all
around "class."
The only question. then, seems to be
whether Sharkey decides to put on one
of his good battles such as those against
Harry Wills. George Godfrey and Jimmy
Maloney. or one of his bad ones-thoSe
with Tom Heeney and Johnny Risko.

Baltimore SPORTS
|. CENTER IN MAKING
Plans for Rebuilding 0riole
Park for Many Pastimes
Are Advancing.

BALTIMORE, Md, January 25.-
Plans for Baltimore's new sports CEN
ter including the purchase of the
Orioles and the building of new
double decked grandstand and an arena
for ice hockey, basket ball, boxing
matches and other indoor sports, are
nearing completion.
This became apparent when Carlos
Ferrer Of Los Angeles, who IS organlz-
ing the local syndicate to handle the
proposition, announced that Brig. Gen.
Milton A. Rockford, adjutant general
of the Maryland National Guard, would
head the syndicate as president.
Fritz Maisel it develops, is being
considered along with one or two others
to manage the orioles Maisel visited Fer
rer and talked over the situation. Fritz
has not been offered contract. Terms
were talked about in a general way, but
no definite salary was discussed.
The plans for the ice hockey plant.
being prepared by Joseph Evans Sperry,
local architect, show that the rink will
be entirely underground.
The skating surface, which will be
100 feet by IS, will be 81 feet below
the top row Of seats, and the rink itself
will extend back under the grandstand
for 81 feet along the Twenty-ninth
street SIDE.
BY Encouragement of plans, 1t will
now be possible to seat close to 10000
fans when the rink Is being used for
boxing bouts, and $500 can be accom-
modated for the ice events.
Artificial ventilation will be used with
modern water-washed air being forced
into the arena. 1t is claimed that the
arena, although filled with smoke dur
ing the boxing bout. can be cleared
of the fumes in four seconds and the
air purified.
The boxes will be suspended from
the ceiling of the rink. enabling the oc-
cupants to have a clear view OF the
proceedings. There will be no posts to
obstruct the view in the rink, the
ceiling being held up by steel arches.
Leo P. Flynn, at one time match
maker at Madison Square Garden under
Tex Richard telegraphed Ferrer that
he will be glad to accept the PROPOSE
ton and make all matches for the local
arena.

PA" Stribling feels that Sharkey
should beat Christner tonight, and, OF
course, believes that the Boston Sailor
Man Is nothing but 'Set up" for his

is no stronger and no better boxer than
Young Stribling.

too, of turning to referees and COM

Well, my boy is pretty smart in taking
advantage of things like that. We just
hope he does that once. He'll be a

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
~ AMPA, Fla, January 25.-Presi-
dent j. E. Barnard OF the
American League, who spent the
day at the training camp mead
quarters Of the Washington ball
club visiting with Clark Griffith, added
his voice in opposition TO the proposed
plan of numbering the ball players
which, it is announced, viii be lnaugu-
rated this season by the New YORK
Americans.
Barnard's opinion is, naturally. per-
sonal expression on the matter AS
executive head of his league he would
be bound to enforce any ruling the cluD
owners might vote at any meeting OF
the organization, but he seems confident
that such a step is not now contem-
plated by a majority OF the clubs.
"Any good that might follow the gen
eral use of numbering the players would
in nv opinion, be offset by the miX-ups
which undoubtedly would follow, PreSl-
dent Barnard asserted. 1t would TAKE
one man on each club whose sole duty
it was to keep up to date the proper
numerals of the players and 10 see tnaI
they correspondent with the score caro-.
1.-THE present system of announcing
changes in the lineup seems satlstac-
torv to the fans, and the use OF the
score boards, which announce the play
ers as they appear at the plate, seems
to solve the question OF identity OF tne
nlavers at once. All that is needed 10
make the present system letter perIecI
is for the several clubs to keep tnen
score cards up to date and see tnaI
the player at bat is promptly posted
| on the score board.
Several years ago the matter OF
numbering the players was brought. uT
in a general way at a league meeting
but being never officially before the
league. No action was taken on the idea
| l do not believe our league would be II
a hurry to make the proposed step OF
the Yankees league custom"
Barnard made it plain that the New
! York Club owners had perfect right
to number their players If they desired
unless the American League should &C

and the resulting increase in attend
ance over last year for Navin's ball club
should be marked"
Clark Grifith found time between
his golfing and other social affairs OF
the day to vigorously deny the state
ment attributed to him that Ossie
Bleuge will play second base this year
for the Nationals.
IT was inaccurately quoted in the
matter" said Griffith. Il thought I had
made it very plain that, as far as I was
concerned, Ossie is to be our one and
only shortstop this year, barring in
juries. Walter johnson may have diff
ferent ideas in the matter, but II he
has he kept them to himself.
'Shortstop is Bluege's natural posi-
ton. In engineering the trade which
brought Buddy Myer back to Washing
ton we had the shift Of Ossie to short
always in mind At that time johnson,
who had the absolute and final say in
the trade, was enthusiastic at the OPP
portunity offered OF strengthening the
left side of the Nationals infield. and
there is not chance that he will ex-
pertinent in the matter. You can be
assured that Bluege will start and fin
ish the season at short, and I look for
| whale of year from him."
The number of Nationals aligned for
service this year remains the same as
when the base ball headquarters were
| transferred from the Capital City to
Tampa. Thirteen of the 80 contracts
| sent out have been signed and returned
to the club. Griffith expects the mails
the latter part of this week to add to
! this list.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, January 25.-
For the third time since its organiza-
ton the Milwaukee base ball club OF
the American Association may be owned
and controlled by woman.
Henry j. Killilea, owner Of the club,
who died Wednesday, is believed to
have willed the major portion OF his
property to his daughter Florence, who
is still in her twenties.
AS secretary of the club she knows
her base ball and may take up the
active role as club chieftain. Mrs. KILL
lea died several years ago.
The Milwaukee club first became the
property of a woman when Charles
Havener died, leaving his holdings to
his widow. Otto Borchert also be-
queathed his major holdings in the
club to his widow, who in turn sold
them to Killilea.
Killilea's will is expected to be filed
for probate next week
