FAMOUS SLUGGER SEEKS PART OF PURCHASE PRICE T OS ' ANGELES, Jan. 6. (L N. &) X George ("Babe") Ruth has signed no contract with Miller Huggins, rep resentative of the New York Americans, the team reported to have purchased the champion home run batsman of the Boston American league club. Ruth has a verbal agreement whereby he will sign as soon as certain phases of the deal are adjusted to the Babe's satis faction, which means as soon as he is given a cut of the total consideration. This was Ruth's personal statement to the International News Service here early today. ... . "I saw Huggins late yesterday and he outlined the proposition to me and I outlined mine to him," said Ruth to dag. "I .told him frankly that I thought I was entitled to part of the Rale price, which I understand yas (120,000. After considerable conversa tion we entered into a verbal agree ment on certain , things. What these are I cannot yet say. "I am well satisfied with the sale. I can play just as good baseball 'for the Yanks as I ever did for the Boston club, and of course, that is what I will do. However, the deal has upset my plans. I may be forced to make a trip East room. "What part of the sale price will you ask 7 Ruth waa asked. TKat I cannot say,' ho' replied, "but I am entitled to a share, don't you think so?'

Georges w carpentier absolutely declines to come to this country- This refusal cov ers both an exhibition tour as well asa trip that might have for its main ob- Jeet. a battle for the championship of tne world with Jack Dempsey. This is the substance ef a- letter just received from Nate Lewis of Chicago, who Know In London with a pair of American boxers. Pal Moore and Johnny. uruiitns. just before writing the let ter, Lewis had had a long conference wim carpentier and his manager. IJ en camps, and received the Information first nana from the two Frenchmen. REFUSES TO LISTEK ' Lewis went abroad with a commission from Domlnlck Tortorich of New Or leans, to secure the services' of the Faiisan ftghter if such a thing were possible. He carried letters of authority permitting him to meet any and all bids for. Carnentier's .services and to sign Georges if such a, thing were at all with' In reason. Nate 'failed utterly because the French star and his manager wily nui- iisien 10 any proposition mat cans for them leaving Europe now or at any time in the future. "Carpentier's contracts call for him .to cover music halls and like places right up to the first of May," writes Nate "and from the eagerness with which the managers and promoters are going after him it Is probable he will continue his tour right through the summer. , GATHERING IK COI2I "This I did gather from what Uttle they said of a Dempeey match : They will not be ready to make such a con test for at least a year so juicy is the picking for them in all sections of Eu rope where blng is known. They were merely poute-lo-me when I submitted Tortorlch's proposition to them, listen ing attentatively but without enthusiasm. So with many apologies and shrugs of the shoulder I was allowed to go out and cool off. They rather took my breath away with what they said, but I have found since that everything they said was the truth. Wlllard's circus trip' was supposed to have set a mark for a fighter's exhibition tour, but It was nothing to the way Georges is gath ering in the shekels. "Doubtless Carpentier will fight Demp sey soinetime. You can bet something it will be in Europe, however, or not at all. Every Yankee over her gets the same impression Carpentier is a much bigger man in Europe than Dempsey is In America, and this tells the whole story of the present negotiations." TSE; South.

By Bob JOE BENJAMIN, who has been signed by Matchmaker Jack Grant of the Portland- boxing commission to appear here on February 5 against any 135 pounder who may be selected to box with him, will not leave for Portland as soon as was expected. A -telegram to Willie Bernstein, who will handle Joe's affairs on the coast, said that Joe had gone to Lakewood, N. J., to help train Benny Leonard for. his 20 round set-to with Johnny Dundee on January ltl. He added that he would leave for the Rose City Immediately after the figSt ' Training with Leonard, as he1 has been doing for. several months, is the best Work In the world for Benjamin, and he Should reach Portland in prime physical condition. While there has beep no definite an nouncement from Grant to such an ef fect, the chances are that-Freddie. An derson, younger brother of the famous Bud and the boy who put up such a slashing mill with Peter Mltchle at a recent smoker, will be selected to extract and absorb Benjamin's best. The choice of Anderson looks to be about the best that could be made. He Is game, he knows how to box and he can outhit any boy of his weight on the Pacific coast If Benjamin gets by Anderson, which is by no means a certainty, we shall be inclined to believe some of the kind things which Billy Gibson, his man ager, ha3 been saying about him. At any rate, in sending Benjamin out this way and letting him go up against boy of Anderson s class, convinces one that they are not going to inflate Joe's record by picking a lot of lemons and set-ups for him to topple over.

It "may be a long. time before soccer football is on as strong a basis In this country as the professional game is in Great Britain. In England the professional player does not count on his wages alone, for in the Football league clubs winning one of the first five positions in either the first or second division, which this season consist of 22 teams each, can distribute the following money among their play ers: The champions get $1376, -and the other clubs $275 less- than each of the clubs which finish above them. The win ner of the final cup tie gets $1378. the runners-up $1110; each of the two de feated Bemi-flnallsts $825; each of tha defeated clubs in .the fourth round $550, and those being eliminated in the third and fourth rounds $275 and $210. Thus it is possible for a player to get $1950 In wages, $250- talent money and a bene- iii game ox sz&go after five years' play- ing.

Coffroth May Get Big Fight He Stands Well With Jack By Bob Bobby Evans, local fight bus;, 'who is probably aa well posted on the boxing game as the average fan, is firmly of the opinion that Jimmy Coffroth, the San Francisco pro moter, will land the Dempaey-Car-pentler match, and that it will be held at TIa Juana, Lower California, as indicated in a dispatch from Los Angeles Monday. "Coffroth made Jack Dempsey and likewise made Jack Kearns. his man ager." says "Diamond Bobby."

San Fran cisco in Three-Cornered Deal With Detroit Tigers. By Oeonre Berts OUTFIELDER FRANK WALKER of the Beavera will ro to the San Francisco Seals In a three cornered deal according to an announcement mad by Walter McCredie, th Portland man ager. Frank Navin, owner of the Detroit club, made the Beavers an offer for Walker, expressing a desire to send the outfielder to San Francisco la order to secure an option on a certain player of the Seal club. McCredie wired his will ingness to part with Walker for an other player and it is likely that the dear will go through. TIGERS WAST KAMM "Until the deal Is closed, McCredie re fuses to give out the name of the play er he' wants. It Is understood that the player is a twlrler of great ability. Third Baseman Kamm of the Seals Is said to be the player that Navin is dealrous of securing for 1921. Kamm is expected to be one of the tars of the Coast learue this season. Judge McCredie, owner of the Port land team, will attempt to secure a training site for the Beavers while In San Francisco this week. We have received no offers from California towns as yet," said Manager Mac. "but I think they will come thick and fast within the next week. ' "Should the league directors decide to open the season March 28; It will mean that the teams will go into training during the latter part of February."

"Even if it Is true that Cochran, the London-promoter, has Carpentier signed up for his next fight, it is doubtless just as true that when Cochran signed Car pentier he signed him in the belief that Dempsey would be his next opponent. When Cochran finds that he cannot get Dempsey for a London match, he wUl, fh all likelihood release Carpentier from his agreement and tell the Frenchman to fight wherever the best terms are of fered. v "Coffroth. according to the dispatch, has offered $400,000 for the fight, and it is .not probable that Cochran will see fit to go above this figure.
