 The present idol of the English boxing fans is anxious to come to America to earn shot at the heavyweight crown now worn by Max Baer but the folks in Eng land would like to see him in ac- ton against couple of our first light heavyweights before ventur- ing a try at our heavies.
 Petersen would find plenty of opportunity here for the stage is set for the entrance of some young heavyweight who packs a punch and can fight.

You will recall he imported one Phil Scott from England and did right well for MT. Scott and MT. Johnston--even though the cash customers were not thrilled by his efforts to en- certain them.
 Scott's exhibition with Jack Sharkey in Miami set a new low in heavyweight boxing entertain ment.

Washington Park, the Classic at Arlington, and the Detroit Derby Despite reduced stake values, Cav a,cade won well over Sl00,000 to top the 1884 list of money winning horses. His victories permitted Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloane's Brookmeade stable to lead, for the first time, the list of owners, with winnings of more than a quarter of million dollars.
 Cavalcade's on.y failure came in the Preakness stakes at Pimlico a week after his Kentucky Derby triumph. Late in making his move, he was beaten by a nose by his stable mate, High Quest. In every meeting during the season Caval- cade beat 1934's second-best three year old, Alfred G. Vanderbilt's Discovery. The only other contend CT for the year old championship, Joseph E. Widener's Belmont Stake winner, Peace Chance, went wrong before he could be given a chance to meet Cavalcade in Arlingtons Classic Stakes.

Those German promoters who lured Steve Hamas to Berlin to meet Max Schmeling have stolen the only fair heavyweight bout Madison Square Garden had in sight for it's winter bout in Miami.
 So the proposed visit of Jack Peterson, English heavyweight champion, may prove a lifesaver- if it materializes. A match with Bob Olin. light heavyweight title holder, would have an international championship flavor.
 Having knocked out Larry Cans, Jack Doyle, Len Harvey, Jack Pettifer, George Cook and Dan McCorkindale on his way to the English heavyweight throne, Pe- tersen is looking toward our shores. Petersen is considered the cleverest big man developed In England since Bombardier Wells A better puncher than Wells, he has shown, too, that he can sstand punch better than the famed Bcmbardier.
 Fol, all his cleverness and punch though, it is very doubtful if Pe- tersen could be expected to cope with the heavyweights in the pro- posed elimination tournament, for he would have to concede con- siderable weight to most of our big boxers.
 Lacks Necessary Weight
 A little fellow in comparison with our present crop of heavies he is hardly more than a light Heavyweight, tipping the scale: at less than 1S0 pounds.
 However, he is tall and may add a few pounds to his frame be- fore he stops growing. The one thing against his chances for great improvement is his poor eyesight Petersen has stopped few big -ooys, George Cook and Don Mo Corkindale for instance, but on the whole most of his victims have been little more than overgrown

RING MAGAZINE HONORSQUARTET OF CHAM PI0 NS.
Publication Pays High Re. spect to Barney Ross,
 Chicago Boxer

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-Only four fistic champions, Max Baer, Bar ney Ross Freddy Miller and Pana- ma Al Brown, stand out so com pletely in their classes that the Ring Boxing Magazine, in it's tenth annual rating of the cauliflower fields, sets them in a class by themselves, on the basis of 1884 ac- complishments.
 For the greatest single achieve ment of the year, the Ring Box ing Magazine awards the palm to Ross, the Chicago Jewish pride, who, as king of the lightweights, stepped up class and whipped Jimmy McLarnin, Vancouver, B. C., Irishman, for the welterweight championship.
 Although McLarnin earned an unpopular decision later to regain his crown, Ross feat stands out, as he was the first titleholder of his weight to accomplish what he did.

Associated Press Sports Writer) 2 CHICAGO, Jan. 8.-A small bay colt called Cavalcade-possessed of late turn of speed that makes him outstanding among recent dis tance runners the turf has de- veloped-was responsible for such racing history as came out of the 1884 season.
 The rest of the 1894 season was a tale of the successful extension of racing into the new territories opened by the passage of pari-mu- tuel betting laws, of competition for the limited number of thor oughbreds between prosperous new tracks and long established race courses, and of stricter regulation than the sport has known in many years.
 Cavalcade ended the season as nearly undisputed 3-year-old champion as the American Stake schedule can provide. He won six of his seven starts. The list includ- ed the Kentucky Derby at Church. i'll Downs, the American Derby at

3-year-olds, it was otherwise un- distinguished. The failure of C. V. Whitney's perennial handicap champion, Equipoise, to st n d training through the summer rob- bed the handicap division of a le- gitimate champion. The Belaire Studs Faireno, largely because he raced most frequently, was the largest money winner of the older horses. The Wheatley Stables Dark Secret, Mrs. J. A. Bosley, Jr Chase Me, and Sylvester Labrot's Springsteel, all contenders, had to be destroyed after mishaps. EquipoiSe won three of his six starts, with the Philadelphia Han dicap at Havre de Grace, and the Dixie Handicap at Pimlico his most important victories. g
 Chance Sun Tops Class
 Honors were so scattered among the ? year olds that it is impos- sible to guess from what quarter the 3 year old aristocrats of 1885 will come. Joseph E. Widener's Chance Sun, chiefly because he won the rich Futurity stakes at Belmont, was the high money-win- ner of the 2 year olds. And second 1 only to Cavalcade in the all-age rankings. A 2 year old lilly, the Calumet Farm Stables Nellie Flag, was third high money winner of the season, with such other young sters as Norman Church's Toro Nancy, the Brookmeade Stables Psychic Bid, c. V. Whitney's Mot to, the Greentree Stables Plat Eye, and Col. E. R. Bradley's Balla- dier winning frequently enough in stake company to make them stand out from the rank and file of the juvenile division.
 It was the winnings of their 2 year olds, in fact, that moved many owners close to the top of the list of money makers. c. " Whitney won ranking behind the Brookmeade Stable because oi Motto's successes, Chance Sun put Joseph E. Widener third, and it vas Plat Eye that put the Green tree Stable and Balladier that put Col. E. R. Bradley in the first i've.
 Jockey Race Close
 The race for jockey honors, no contest last year when Jack Vest rope set a modern record of 301 winners, promised to run to the last day of California racing this season, with the apprentice, Morris Peters, and the veteran, Silvio Coucci, the contestants. Dublin Taylor, the early leader, dropped back to third place after losing his apprentice allowance in mid- summer and seemed to have no chance of overtaking the leaders. Despite new tracks and a de- mand for riders which put many inexperienced jockeys up, there was only a single fatality in 1894. The experienced Duke Bellizzi was killed in fall at the Jamaica tracks in New York on May IT last year.
 The most successful new track of 1884 was Naragansett Park at Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Racing in Texas and at Hot Springs and Miami likewise proved profitable. New tracks such as Bay Meadows near San Francisco, and Santa Anita near Los Angeles, promise the restoration of racing of the first rank to California.
