NEW YORK. Feb. 11. Special.)
Jack Kfirnfl, manager of the heavy
weight champion of the world, is on
the outlook for a new champion
several of them, in fact and he wants
them small, lie haa a sneaking feel
ing that his great meal ticket. Demp
sey. is about through in this country.
Tins may surprise a lot of fans who
know what the two Jacks pulled out
of the so-called "battle of the cen
tury" and who have noted the tidy
little J.-O'i.ooo smackers that Billy
, Brady offered for a go between
lempsy and Harry Wills. Just the
same, it is the truth. Jack Dempsey
is as good aa dead in this country,
at least for some time to come. His
canny manager just now is trying; to
push along the idea of another Demp
sey'arpentier fight in England, and
there are good chancea that the bout
may be put through, but so far as
this country Is concerned the big
fighter is done.
Battle Yet la Sight.
The first jolt Kearna got waa when
the New York athletic commission
put the lemon Juice In the proposed
ivmpsey-Brennan fight. Chairman
Miilfloon silenced ail criticism by
Kititing to the comparative records
of the two men, including the two
knockouts by the Utah manhandler.
and asking how come? The fans who
were getting ready to work up a

coming to him and perhaps will not

Battles Are Nat Masted.
But if he had an opponent where
would the fiiiiit be held? It is now
no secret that every boxing commis

STl'DIES FROM LIFE BY BOB
FOUR OF COAST MANAGERS
WILL PLAY IN 1922 SEASON
Duffy Lewis, Salt Lake; Charley
Francisco, and Red Killefer,
BY U H. GREGORY.
THERE will be mors playing man
agers In the Pacific Coast league
this coming season than for sev
eral years. The tendency in the big
leagues and In the large minors is
consistently away from playing man
6 i e'r s. Now and then some star player
is advanced to a managership, and the
diminishing ranks . of the playing
managers are increased for the mo-
incut, but generally it is only a few
years before the star himself takes
to the bench.
The Coast Lesgue this season will
have four playing managers, which
is a 60-SO split. Last season there
were only two.
Dufry Lewis, at Salt I-ake. Is cer
tain to play the outfield, despite his
new Job as manager. In fact, his re
markable batting record of better
than .400 last season had a good deal
to do with putting him in Cactus
Cravath's shoes. Lewis will be a real
playing manager, for he will be a
regular in the daily lineup.
The only other playing manager
who also will play regularly is
Charley Pick of Sacramento. Pick is
a third-sacker and a good one. He
was kept so busy last season trying
to undermine Bill Rodgers and be
come manager himself that the won
der of it was that he hit or fielded
a lick, but he did. Now, as manager,
he ought to go fast, despite the fact
that the years are beginning fo creep
over him. Pick is close to 35.
Then San Francisco has Jack Mil
ler, imported from the majors, where
for many seasons he played second
base and first. Nobody seems to
know wether Miller intends to play
regularly or to sit on the bench, but
he probably will play at least part of i
the time. Of course O'Connell, the 1
$75,000 beauty, will play first base.!
That leaves secord for Miller if he
wants the berth. ' Bert Ellison has
been groomed for that post by most
of the San Francisco sports writers,
and he may have it. but he can play
the outfield so well that the chances
are he will continue as a fielder and
that Miller will take his fling at sec
ond basing for part of the season at
least.
The only other manager who makes
even a pretense of playing is Red
Killifer at Ixs Angeles. Red was in
the playing-manager class last sea
son, but the old grind Is getting
tougher and tougher and he dislikes
more and more to get into the fray.
Red used himself only In utility roles
last year and probably will do the
same this season.
Once upon a time the Pacific Coast
league had some great playing man
agers, but the stars of that epoch
have faded away. There was Walter
McCredie. who managed and played
right field for Portland, and in those
days 'Walt could field and he could
hit. especially in the pinches: Parke
Wilson al Seattle, who ran the team
and caught behind the bat; Silvertip
Dillon, who. despite years and gray
hair, ran the Los Angeles club so
peppily anil played flrst base so well
that the Brooklyn Nationals drafted
him and made him return to the big
leagues when tie was well along to
ward 40; and at various times many
other stars.
or Ave feet one inch tall, yet he could
cover ground, he could throw, he
could fie lil. he could run bases and he
could hit. Kid Mohler was one of
the stars of his baseball generation.

r
day from Detroit that every angle in
the Suds Sutherland deal has been
straightened and that Suds now is the
out-and-out property of Portland.
Klepper named Suds aa one of the
eight players he was to receive in
part payment, together with $35,000
cash, for Johnson and Pillette. Suds
waa on the blacklist at the time, so
there was some question about it, but
all that has been smoothed out.
If Sutherland is as good as he used
to be. then Portland will have one
pitcher who can win a lot ot games.
Particularly early in the season. When
most pitchers have sore arms and
can't bear down early In the year.
Suds is at his best. He averages
three wins out of four early-season
games every time. But later in th
season, when theoretically he should
be at his best, is when the opposition
finds him easiest. Suds is naturally
an early-season pitcher, a valuable
bird for a ball club to have around.
.
Sam Lewis, the spitball pitcher who
hurled for San Francisco last season
and once wvas with Portland, has been
sold by the Seals to Salt Lake. Lewis
is a big fellow and theoretically he
never should lose more than one-third
of his games, for he has size, speed
and stuff, but somehow he haa never
been a great success.
Which reminds us that Rudy Kallio,
the ex-Portland curve-ballcr traded
to Salt Lake last season, thinks that
at last he has his stuff back. Rudy
is wintering in Portland. The other
night we met him and his first re
mark was. "Going to have a big sea
son I have my curve ball back."
Rudy has a curve that when it is
right is the best that any pitcher in
this league can show. Somehow he
couldn't get it right through most of
last season. Then suddenly, about a
month before the finish, it came to
him. From then on he was unbeat
able. He won something like eight
straight games and they were low-
score battles, too. After a showing
like that Salt Lake simply had to keep
him this season.
. .x .
The University of Oregon football
eleven, alone of the eight Pacific coast
conference college teams, has not
elected a football captain for rfext
year. There is a lot of talk to the
effect that the delay is a bit of strat
egy by Shy Huntington to keep har
mony in his squad.
Whether that is the explanation or
not, it certainly Is unusual for a var
sity football squad to hold off in
electing its captain until the opening
of the season. The Oregon squad had
plenty of opportunity to elect, for
the players were together a full month
and more after the regular varsity
season, on their trip to and from
Honolulu.
Gossip from the university has it
that the race for captaincy honors is
so keen between Tiny Shields, the big
right guard, and George King, half
back, that Huntington does not want
it to come to a vote. He has a prece
dent for stalling off the election, for
back several years the members of
the famous 191$ team got into a simi
lar jam as to whether Huntington or
another player should be captain.
They were so evenly divided that the
feeling became intense. Then Hugo
Bezdek made his famous statement
that he didn't believe in a football
captain, anyhow, and that there would
be no election. There was none, either
until the next fall, by which time j
the feeling had died away.
Tiny Shields is not in college this
semester, but that certainly is not
why the election has been postponed.

NO OTHER BOXER CAN BOAST
OF -FIGHTING LIKE BRITTON
Champion Has Four Different Styles Other Boys Have Been Trying
to Find Veteran's Weak Spot for Generation.
BY ROBERT EDGREN.
JACK B R I TT O N , welterweight
champion, is one of the most
remarkable of all titleholders. He
ip a better fighter at 37 than he was
10 years ago. Dan Morgan, his man
ager ever since Jack began to work
up to the championship, writes lne a
few interesting lines about the welter
king.
"Britton's success is' due to his
careful living as well as to his won
derful boxing head," says Morgan.
"Jack eats plain food and plenty of
it, and he is not a prohibitionist in
any form. Anyone who has a case of
Haig & Haig and is afraid to keep it
can send it to Britton. He also
smokes a good cigar now -and then
and enjoys life.
"But he walks seven miles daily,
and his gymnasium work consists of
from eight to ten rounds of boxing
every day in the year. Anyone who
wants to 'see how a champion works
can take a trip to Billy Grupp's gym
nasium any day when Jack isn't away
somewhere for a bout, and watch him
pile into middle and heavyweights,
handing them a high-clas9 brand of
both boxing and slugging.
"In a long bout of 15 or 20 rounds
Britton gets better as he goes along.
No matter how strong or how young
his opponents are. Jack always has
them hanging on at the finish if he
doesn't knock them out.
"Britton never hurts his hands, as
he Jtnows how to twist his wrist or
arm when he hits. He is a solid
puncher. Britton has four different
styles of boxing that no other boxer
under the sun can boast of. That is
one of the reasons the other boys
have been trying to find his weak
spot for a generation of fighters, and
can't do it.
"Jack is married and has three chil
dren. Billy is 5 years old, Bobbie 3
and Betty 1. When he isn't training
or traveling for a bout, you can al
ways find him at home."
-
Britton is a real veteran. He has
been boxing professionally for 19
years. All the men who were his
rivals in the early days of his career
have gone by, and nearly all are for-
gotten, but Jack hasn't even stum
bled. He is soon to give Benny Leon
ard a chance to fight for the welter
weight title. He has fought Leonard
before this, and even Benny, with all
his skill and hard hitting, was unable
to do more than barely hold his own.
One thing about Britton is his abso
lute confidence which comes from
knowing just what to do in every
emergency In the ring, and from a
feeling that he can match his rivals
in speed and strength as well-as skill.
There is no more clever boxer than
Britton.
Britton lost the welter title to Kid
Lewis of England away back in 1915,
Lewis taking two decisions over him.
But the next year Britton beat Lewis
in a 20-round fight on the referee's
decision. In 1917 Lewis won the title
from Britton in a 20-round bout, tak
ing Referee Lou Bauman's decision.
He fought Lewis four times in-1918,
and seemed unable to overcome the
flashy Whitechapel boy's lead in skill
and hitting power.
Lewis was a great fighter at that
time. He even gave Mike Gibbons a
tough ten rounds, carrying the fight
to Mike at top speed all the way. and
came near having a claim on middle
weight honors.
But another of Jack Britton's
characteristics is a bulldog grade of
tenacity. , He won t give up. He
trained and studied fighting form
and kept after Lewis until he got
him again in 1919, on which occasion
he knocked out Lewis in the. nintn
round.
Since then Britton has been un
beatable in his class. A score of
husky rivals have tried in vain to
make an impression on his skillful
defense. And it isn't all defense
when Britton gets into a ring. Un
like nearly all title-holders, Britton
refuses to "play safe" in any bout,
with or without a decision. He al
ways sails in spitefully and is per
fectly willing to. meet the other fel
low at any kind of mixing he pre
fers. When Britton fought Benny Leon
ard before, the public expected to
see him simply stand off and box,
guarding the old title and taking no
unnecessary risks. That wasn't Brit
ton's idea at all. He preferred to
fight like a champion, and he came
very near giving clever Benny a box
ing lesson.
Of the clever boxers who started
with Britton, Packey McFarland re

champion, whose limit seems not to
have been reached and who may go
on fighting for years.
Britton believes in keeping busy.
He fights an average of 20 bouts a
year, which is a lot for a champion.
Naturaliy Jack has made and put
away" quite a little fortune. The title-
taking punch, if it ever lands on him.
won't put him in the poorhouse.
Ring champions never were more
prosperous than they are now. Jack
Dempsey has put away a fair amount
this year in spite of heavy taxes and
the fact that he has been the chief
support of several successful lawyers
since becoming champion. The big
money of the Miske, Brennan and
Carpentier bouts, .with 15 weeks of
vaudeville, put him beyond need of
worrying over the future.
Carpentier, light-heavyweight cham
pion, has recently made $300,000.
Johnny Wilson, middleweight cham
pion by virtue of -dodging . all dan
gerous rivals, leads a quiet life and
hasn't spent much of the money he
received for bouts with O'Dowd and
Downey.
Jack Britton, welter champion, is
ciedited with being worth more than
$300,000, although he didn't have a
dollar when he hooked up wit '3 Dan
Morgan in 1912.
Benny Leonard, whose ring earn
ings have totaled nearly a million,
has about half that amount invested
in real estate and good securities.
Johnny Kilbane, . the featherweight
champion, : is a good business man
and of a saving disposition. Johnny
owns much real estate in Cleveland
and is supposed to be worth at least
$200,000. .
Johnny Buff, bantam and feather
champion, has.-earned half a dozen
good purses in the last year, and
his wife takes good care of his in
come,, but his money-earning time is
ahead. He ought to clear $100,000 in
1922 if he goes on fighting in. the
form he has shown.
Boxing hasn't been a bad business
of late for champions. Even some
or - the near-champs, like Tendler,
lirennan, Ritchie Mitchell, Dundee,
White and Jackson, have cleaned up
very well.
But Jack Britton is the busiest of
all title-holders. He has fought more
than 300 ring battles and more than
200 of them in the last ten years,
when : he was getting fairly good
money for every appearance. If he
lasts another year, with the purses;
lie's dragging down now, he'll be one
of the wealthiest boxers in history.

BERKELEY FIVE ANXIOUS
QC1XTET AWAITS GAME WITH
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON.
Odds Favor California After Over
whelming Defeat Over Stanford;
Team Hits Stride.
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
Berkeley, Cal., Feb. 11. (Special.)
With all chance gone of winning the
conference title, the California bas
ketball quintet awaits the University
of Oregon, hoping in the two games
Tuesday and Wednesday to retrieve
as much as possible out of a dis
astrous season.
The Bruin varsity is in good con
dition for the first time since the
northern trip, upon which several men
caught the influenza.' All have re
covered, and with a week's practice
are eager to face the Oregonians.
Odds favor California, after the
Bears' overwhelming defeat of Stan
ford, a team which took the Oregon
measure in two games at Eugene.
California seems to have hit her
stride and in the last few games the
quintet has worked smoothly, with
much evidence of team play. In the
Nevada game, won by the Bears 54
to 24, the team, composed mainly of
substitutes, played rings "around the
visitors and won by 'exceptional team
play and by the sensational - basket
shooting of Johnny Tait. the find of
the season at Berkeley.
California will end the season with
two games against Stanford and two I
against the university of Southern
California, the hnal game coming on
March 3 at Los Angeles.
