Won't Turn Net Pro This Year,
Says Jacobs; Denies New Offer

American promoter, since last Sum-
mer O'Rrien announced yesterday
in New York she was considering a
new offer.
"Mr. O'Brien made me an offer
last Summer, as well as in the Sum-
mer Of 1888" Miss Jacobs asserted,
but I told him both times was not
ready to consider such a move.
His statement that he offered me
$4,000 and I demanded $4,000 is
ridiculous"
Miss Jacobs declined to say she
would never turn professional, be-
cause nobody knows what one might
do in the future, but please say for
me I have not the slightest intention
of turning professional this year"
Il intend to play in the Cairo,
Alexandria, Paris, Wimbledon and
the American tournaments, defending
my title at Forest Hills" she said.

tising almost daily for her European
and North African tour, and is in

Mrs. Eileen Bennett Whittingstall,

she had received an offer from
O'Brien, and said, In any case

NEW YORK, January 4.-Profes-
~ sional tennis reached out today
for two Of the amateur games
champions, and apparently stands a
good chance of landing them both.
According to Sports Promoter Bill
O'Brien, Helen Hull Jacobs, for the
past three years American champion;
Fred j. Perry of England, the worlds
singles titlist, as well as Mrs. Eileen
Bennett Whittingstall. one of John
Bulls top-ranking performers. are on
the verge Of accepting professional
offers, aggregating $4,000.
For several months O'Brien, who
operates troupe that includes Bill
Tilden. Ellsworth Vines. George Lott
and Lester Stoefen, has been nego-
tiating with Miss Jacobs. Last night
these negotiations apparently reached
the point of fruition when the Berke-
ley, Calf, girl, who is in London,
cabled for more than the $4,000
O'Brien offered. and he responded
with bid of $4,000.
Acceptance by Miss Jacobs would
ruin the anticipated revival of rivalry
between her and Helen Wills Moody,
who is returning to competition this
year. Mrs. Moody was Miss Jacobs
superior until 1888 when she defaulted
to the younger girl in the champion
ship final.
Perry has been on the fence for
nearly year. Late last Summer he
rejected O'Brien's offer of $4,000, but
before he sailed from San Francisco
for an Australian tour he evinced
fresh interest in a professional career.

Heinie Miller, secretary of the District
Boxing Commission. The reason !
mention frankie is that he received
a flock of letters from a guy in
Scranton a few weeks ago, begging the
now-reformed matchmaker for a
chance to box in Washington.
That was the f1rst frankie had ever
heard of Babe Risko. The second
time was when he and the rest Of the
fistic world awoke the other day to
read where an unknown battler had
assaulted Middleweight Champion Ted
iy YarosZ SO severely in the prize ring
that the Pittsburgh title holder became
seven-round technical knockout vic
tim. Babe Risko probably is the most
talked about fistic figure at the
moment.
Heinie Miller enters the pic
ture because about the only

fought in the Navy.
Some Record!
THE word Navy to Heinie is like the
clang of a street car bell to a
punchdrunk fighter. When
Heinie heard that Risko once sailed
the seas under Uncle Sam, he leaped
into action. The telegraph companies
showed a profitable day. Maj. Miller
even phoned the Navy Department.
He left no stone unturned. And the
results:
Yarosz was the seventh straight
knockout victim of Babe Risko, alias
Sailor Pulaski, alias Henry Rylkowski,
his real tag. That win was Risko'S
ffty-f1fth in Sc fights. The other was
a draw. Twenty of his wins were by
kayoes, 26 of his Sc bouts were as a
professional, and the other 80 were
fought in the Navy and as an am
ateur.
As a member of the crew of
the destroyer tender Dobbin,
Risko won the Navy middle
weight title in 1881 and success
fully defended it in 1882. At
that time he was fighting as
Rylkowski. He became Sailor
Pulaski when he first turned pro
in California in 1882.
Honorably discharged from the Navy
in 1882, he returned to his home town,
Scranton. as Risko and today probably
could be elected mayor If he wanted

Hope High for Big Year.

r OOKING ahead to 1885, there is
not merely hope, but solid rea-
son for believing a bigger and
better golf year is in store.
Business which effects our leisure is
steadily improving. Golf and country
clubs have long since put their affairs
in order and are managed better and
more economically than ever before.
Southern resorts are anticipating one
of the best seasons on record. There
is every reason to be confidently opti-
mistic in forecasting the business end
of golf.
On the playing side, hope every
golfer will realize how closely the
United States Golf Association has
come into contact with his game
through the influence of our 1884
amateur championship. The tourna-
ment proper was entirely at match
play for the first time since 1903 and
embraced a field of 1873. Its influence
has been far reaching.

by three Democratic Senators yester-
day during a sustained attack on the
measure. This caused leaders to de-
eide not to try for an immediate vote.
Senator Bailey, Democrat, of North

he favored protection Of the public
health from injurious and misbranded
articles, but asserted he saw no ne
cessity for restraining all the Ameri-
can people because Of few evil
doers."
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, Of
Tennessee, said he thought the Secre-
tary of Agriculture has too great
powers now," while Senator Clark,
Democrat, of Missouri, agreed with
Bailey that the present law should be
changed to meet current needs rather
than replaced by an entirely new act.
Senator Copeland, Democrat, of
New York, author of the bill, said off
the floor he was inclined to agree
that the Agriculture Department
should be stripped of the Pure Food
and Drug Administration at some
time in the future and later he prob
ably would introduce a bill to trans
fer it to the Public Health Service.
