The Standing
TODANS SPORT PARADE. 3. |, k6a&hae
BY HENRY McLEMoRE

(Cn1te0 Press Stam COffeSpOnOe0t)
 New York, Dec 20.-(UP)-It is contrary to American standards to show ones personal letters to any one save a judge, know, but I received one from MT Bob Dow son of Fleet street, London, to-day that should prove of interest to tennis fans in general, and U. s. L. T. A. officials in particular.
 You might like to know," writes MT Dowson after a tender saluta- tion in which he reminds me of the pound note owed him for months, that most of the tennis experts over here look for Perry and Aus tin to turn professional before the end of next summer. Neither of the boys is what you stylish Amer jeans would call lousy with money, and they are getting a bit weary of turning down plump offers. Everybody seems to think that Perry is merely waiting for a more opportune moment-possibly at the close of next season when he undoubtedly will have triple- riveted his claim to the No l player in the world.
 Alert
 Austin, as you know is very old school-tiesh and all that sort of thing, but he too, seems to be merely biding his time. Once Perry takes the plunge, Austin is almost sure to follow. l don't believe, however, that they will start chasing gold until they have |saved the cup for us one more time We take the cup almost as seri- ously as you folks do, and there would be cries of treason if they pulled out. Without them, Peru could take the cup from us, for there are no other players in the country who are on the same street with them.
 "It is no secret that the tennis powers are worried. Some of them are so anxious to keep the boys services they have even gone so far as to suggest a general loosen- ing of the laws governing amateur ism, particularly those in regard to acting in educational films. Perry made an educational film with Don Maskell this year, but had to turn the money over to charity. You know how he liked that.
 'If Perry and Austin do join the hired hands, they are likely to start good scale exodus from the amateur field on the part of num- erouS other European stars. Such drawing cards as Christian Boussus and Andre Merlin of France, Baron Gottfried Won Cramm of Germany, and Enrique Mailer of Spain, would be good bets to respond to decent offers.
 For the Dough
 eff and when they do, you can look for an open tournament at Wimbledon. The Wimbledon chappies are out for the money, and pro tournament with these players, plus Tilden, Vines, Lott, and the other Americans, would pack them in. The British tennis public, long conservative, and vio- lently opposed to professionalism in sports, is fast having a change of heart. The recent pro tour nament, which Vines won, drew 12,000 the closing day, despite a fog whcih made getting there dif- ficult. and which penetrated the building in dense clouds. A few years ago the pros could barely draw their close relations"
 Thank you, Robert. Thank you very much.

Rumors have been current for the past year that Johnston, tho "wise guy" etc, would be busted from the somewhat motheaten mecca of American pugilism, but Cass is the first to come out point blank with such an announcement.
 The Bostonian, bespectacled beanpole of man who resembles Connie Mack and Professor Au- guste Piccard, is matchmaker aat the Boston Garden. According to reports from the Hub, Cass Is backed strongly there by a couple of millionaires named Imbree and Lapham. These two gentlemen are understood to have consider able money tied up in the Garden organization.
 Cass came to New York two days ago to sign up some fighters for the Boston punch emporium. He explained last night at his hotel that since his arrival he had two secret conferences with Colonel John s. Hammond, chairman of the Gardens board of directors Unfortunately, at the time of the conferences, Cass did not know that they were seret. So he told newspaper men about them.
 Salary o. K.
 "And now everybody connected with the Garden is fit to be tied" he continued. ITO be perfectly frank about the matter, Colonel Hammond offered me Johnston's $ job. I was to come in after the first of the year. Hammond and agreed on financial terms, but we hadn't quite agreed on the ex- tent of my authority. insisted upon full authority. Lack of full authority was one of the many rea- sons for Johnston's dismal failure" Hammond refused to discuss the matter with reporters. He referred them to Colonel John R. Fitzpatrick, the Gardens president, who is sup- posed to have the boxing depart ment under his supervision. Kil- patrick could not be reached. Despite Hammond's announce last summer that Johnston would be given another years trial as boxing head, Cass' announcement sounded straight from the feed box today, coming as it did, just when several New York news papers have been campaigning in- | tensively against Johnston.
 I Moreover the announcement fol- | lowed closely Tuesdays meeting o1 Il the Garden corporations execu' tive committee, and at a time when the fading Johnston regime appeared at it's lowest ebb.
 On the Skids
 During Johnston's three years al promoter of boxing at the Garder slumped gradually until a recen
 show took in less than 5000, ar amount that would have discredit'
 ed a small club in the "sticks'

 The New York Giants line from And to center was picked intact on ], the all-league team selected by the coaches in balloting for the all star aggregation and in addition Ken Strong of the Giant backfield was chosen giving New York five men on the all-star outfit. The Chicago Bears placed four on the all-league team and the Detroit Lions took the other two places.
 Not So Bad
 The Lions, in their initial sea- son in the league, finished second to the Chicago Bears in the west ern division race after winning ten straight contests. The Boston Redskins were runners-up in the eastern race while Green Bay took third honors in the west and in the east third place resulted in dead- lock between Brooklyn and Phila- delphia.

Bronko Ma gurski, Bears fullback, came clos lest of any player in the circuit to getting universal recognition on the all-star team, only one coach placing him on his secon dteam.
 Forward passing honors for 1884 went to Arnold Herber of Green Bay, who piled up over $50 yards by aerials but cid not eclipse the mark of Harry Newman set in 1883. For effectiveness Clark of Detroit and Ed Danowski of the Giants, completed almost half their lpasses.. In receiving passes honors were close with Joe Carter of Philadelphia topping the circuit with 16 caught, while Red Badgro, lGiant all-league end, caught 15.
