CLICK WILL BATTLE
M'LARNIN TONIGHT

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 11.-Joe Click,
the lightweight pants presser from Will
liamsburg, battles Jimmy McLarnin in
the 10-round feature bout in Madison
Square Garden tonight.
The bout is at 1873 pounds, for Nc
Larnin no longer can make the light
weight limit, and will campaign as a
heavyweight hereafter.
Despite the fact that he was stopped
by Ray Miller in his last start, the
Coast Irishman has been established as
an 8-to-5 favorite in the betting. Click
has been plugging along until he now
rates as one Of the outstanding ehal-
lengers for Sammy Mandel's 135-pound
title. Although deadly body puncher
he does not rate with McLarnin as
slugger. If he wins it probably will be
because Of superior boxing skill.

n YEW YORK. January 11.--Berett
IN of its leader, puzzled boxing
industry looked at the world
4 today and found nothing there
to cheer about. Without Tex
Rickard the market price for high-grade
cauliflowers threatens to decline.
At the start of the year the heavy
weight program for 1929 was rather
clearly defined: The Stribling- Sharkey
bout at Miami Beach, February 81;
battle between two other leading con-
tenders, probably Tom Heeney and
Pauline Uzcudun; a clash between the
winners of these two matches, and
final round battle for the title between
the ultimate survivor and Jack Dempsey.
But all that has been changed. There
are indications that the Stribling-
Sharkey bout will not be held. at least
on its scheduled date, and that Dempsey
will reconsider his decision to return to
the ring.
William F. Carey, first vice president
and treasurer of the Madison Square
Garden Corporation, and other officials
announced that they were investigating
as to wheher contracts for the Stribling-
Sharkey match had been signed. II
contracts, have been made. the Garden
will go through with the match as
scheduled. II no contracts exist, Garden
officials are not sure what they will do.
Although nothing official was said
about it, there were indications that
Richards successors considered eXorbi-
tant reported guarantees of 100000 to
Sharkey and $40, 900 to Stribling.
The Garden cannot afford to lose any
money on the first big match 1t pro-
notes without the benefit of Richards
vision. The loss of prestige might con-
ceivably have serious effect on the
corporations standing. Dempsey de-
clineS to say definitely whether he will
return to the ring.
Il am going back to Miami Beach
directly to pick up those negotiations
with the people with whom Tex was in
terested and with whom he desired me
to become interested, and after have
become thoroughly familiar with the de-
tails Of the proposed business arrange
ments I will come to a decision" the
former champion declared.
Should the Madison Square Garden
people decide to stage the Sharkey-
Stribling match, and If can be Of any
assistance to them, it will be pleasure
for me to render that assistance so that
Mrs. Richard and her baby may benefit
from such arrangements"
At the same time it became rather
plain that Dempsey will not become
head of the boxing end of the Gardens
business.
Dempsey said that he had not been
offered that post, nor any other, by the |
Garden, and that besides he had too |
many other business interests to serve |
as an executive of the Garden. Even |
more pertinent to the subject, perhaps, |
was his remark:
81 don't kid myself that could fill |
Tex's shoes even If they gave me the |
job"
The boxing world In general is IN
clined to believe that no one else viii |
find that an easy task, either.

RiegeIs and the Aftermath.

"HOSE who are wondering what
effect Riegels wrong direction
run In the California Georgia
Tech game will have on his
future might consider these details:
Riegels, through his foot ball career,
had been q player Of ability, brains and
gameness. One mistake, that might
happen to any foot ball player in the
game, can't Offset these known quail
ties with any one possessing the slight

those things that always can happen in
the wild whirl Of q game such as foot
bali Is. II one mistake can damn q
man, then the entire universe stands

Riegels' episode was more an accident
than q mistake. It had no connection
with any "boneheadisn." It wasn't
matter of judgment or intelligence. The
main hope Is that he won't take 1t too
seriously, In the knowledge that he has
the sympathy Of all those who know
how badly an accidental happening can
be overplayed In the way Of importance.

while was United States district
attorney certain allegations were made

seemed to me at the time to be most
unreliable, and subsequent events con-
flrmed this opinion. My recollection is
there was not enough to even present
it to grand jury. Certainly there was
never any indictment. Fuchs reputa-

I believe him to have been In public as

 After Hectic Nocturnal Adventure
Boy of 13 Found ander- ing Around at 3 A. M., Gets Cocoa, Sandwiches and Warm Coat.

He was cold. His teeth chattered and chills wracked his body as lie squirmed his chair even closer to the radiator. The radiator was cold too. Over the police chiefs door the clock whirrad as it wound. Lit tie Joe Shilings looked Up, The hands Of the clock pointed to B it was o'clock in the morning
 Little Joe Shilings who is small for all his 3 years, had been picked up, The cop on tie Oak street beat had done it. Little Joe was on his way home. He had been sleeping with his cousin.
 Three o'clock was no time for small boys to ba out, the cop had thought, as he sent the youngster to the station. And especially was it no time for boy clad only in shirt, pants, stockings and shoes.
 As Joe sat in the station, shivcring and hugging the radiator, policemen gathered round. First an old coat was discovered and drapcd about his shoulders. Then Sergeant Michael Flynn dug down into his pocket and brought up q pit of silver. Soon Little Joe. who drank neither tea nor coffee, but cocoa was telling it all through huge bites on two sand wiches even more huge and between Gargantuan drafts Of cocoa.
 Joe was not quite sure of the name Of the cousin, although he had been living in the city for sev- eral years. His name, Joe taintly recalled, was Gustave or Custer and he came here from Pennsylvania.
 When 9 o'clock came around and he was still at his cousins on Oak street. Joe decided to do what all good little boys do at 9 o'clock. Taking off his shoes, he too crawled into bed He slept fitfully because he was a stranger in strange house and q strange bed. Twisting and tossing, he woke up at 2:$o. fe thought that it was at least O o'clock and he put on his shoes and started home. Then he was picked up by the cop.
 No, he told the sergeant, he was not afraid that his mother would spank him this time, although it had been done in the past. And he was not afraid of fis big brother, al though the big brother had been known to beat Little Joe. He wasn't afraid of anything much. He was just tired and sleepy and wanted to get to his own home.
 Still wrapped in the old coat. Lit tie Joe started out with Officer Michael Trophy. But before he left he told the cops that he would never do it again.
