Stafford is gone-and so are the 9TH

n YEW YORK, January 31.-The

system for track sports by
the American Athletic Union has
failed to bulge tradition or alter
the fact that the mile is the
standard by which the success of
the 1884 indoor foot-racing sea-
son will be measured.
The headline features of the cam

distance.

Cunninghams coach, thinks the stocky

lieves 4:06 is likely under proper con.
ditions.
With at least three potential record
crackers turned loose on the boards, in
addition to such capable foot racers as
Glen Dawson of Oklahoma and Joe
Mangan of Cornell. this speculation
may prove to be far from just an aca-
demic discussion before the season Is
over.
Two miles in less than 9 minutes was
supposed 10 be impossible until Paavo
Nurmi came along to reel off the dis

Square Garden track in 1925.

his rivalry this Saturday night with
Cunningham in the Wanamaker mile,
featuring the Millrose A A. games on
the Garden track. Cunningham beat
the Penn flyer in this event last VIM

faster clip to do so. VenZke is now
considered to be closer to his record
breaking 1892 form than at any time

4:l2 for the mile
Cunningham is due to monopolize the
Hunter mile at the Boston A. A. games,

Since 1t is only question Of

be able to finish any deals they start.
It Is different with Fuchs, for he
lacks the means to meet the de-

to do business, the party of the Sec

short by demanding Wally Berger
and a couple of his pitching stars

Braves some good.
Despite the fact that the wise men
of base ball can't see either club as
a first-division contender, it Is highly
possible that both will reach their
destination, a journey that will cost
the Red Sox at least $400 900 and
the Braves comparatively nothing.

fights, which in the good old
days" would be attracting
countrywide attention.
Conditions being what they are in
the boxtighting industry. however,
the promoters are having a tough
time smoking up even a modicum of
interest in their offerings. and it
may be ventured in connection with
one of the trio of scraps referred to
that your average fistic fan doesn't
even know it's coming off.
The clash, also at Miami, on
WaShingtOn's birthday, between
Tommy Loughran and Primo Car
nera, whose massive frame now
adorns fistiana's throne. has been
fairly well ballyhooed, but the fact
a former boss of all the fist singers
is about to attempt horning back into
the picture isn't getting much of q
tumble from anybody.
We mean Max Schmeling. the only
Scrapper who ever won heavyweight
title horizontally from Sharkey),
and who then lost it to the same
worthy on a boisterously booed de-
cision.
The German, who was credited
with nothing more than striking
resemblance to Dempsey when first
he invaded the United States, but
who earned lot of respect and a
fortune in scaling the heights, is
essaying something often attempted
and never achieved in setting out
to recapture the championship, with
a 12-round mill against Steve Hamas
at Philadelphia week after next as
the first step.
DEMPSEY, himself, came
L. the closest of all the ex-
heavyweight title holders
to staging a comeback, when
he floored Tunney at Chicago,
but even the Mauling Manas-
san failed and Schmeling's
chances of carrying on against
Baer and then Camera impress
this corner as being something
less than none at all.
Schmeling is bound to have lost
some OF the zest for battle he pos
seSSed when he was on the way up,
is we'll fixed financially and has ac-
quired wife along with a home in
the old country. Adding to this the
handicap of some eight months ac-
cumulatlon of ring rust, it well may
be doubted he can even get by
Hamas. an ambitious youngster
whose principal claim to fame is
kayo of Loughran a couple of years
ago.
About the only debatable point
in connection with the latter's i'm
pending title shot is whether he
can keep away from Camera for IS
rounds. which is the tip-off on how
thrilling the bout should prove, but
the Knight-Rosenbloo fracas TO-
morrow may turn out to be all the
term implies.
This will be one of the few occa-
sions since Make acquired his
championship that he has consent
ed to take it into the ring with him
and that he really is gambling is
the impression of those who have
seen Knight perform hereabout.
Joe is formidable foe for any
one his weight and while Slapsie
naturally rules favorite he may have
to call on all his ring cunning and
experience to retain his coronet if
the Southern southpaw can connect
with a few of his short-arm jolts.
