Jan. 17. "Don't shed ' tears for us. We're not asking for alms. We don't want to build up on charity. Give ua time. That's "all we want and we'll get a team." Kid Gleason, the cocky leader of the Chicago White Sox. gave this answer at the recent American league meeting when a Jury of experts was quest ioriihg him about the Sox of 1921. LOOKS FOR STRONG TEAM "Where do they get this tuff that the Indians and the Yanks have a .hold on each end of the rap? You just watch the Sox. We'll be there. We haven't a lot right now, but we have a good foun dation to build on. Just watch us," the Kid said. Gleason merely raised his brows and shrugged his shoulders when the mag nanimous American league magnates, who loudly proclaimed their Intention to help reconstruct the shattered Chicago team, were brought Into the conversa tion. "If they don't want to sell, I guess it's their own business," he snapped. Not only the disinclination of the American leagtie Vlub owners to trade surplus material, but their rush to out bid Comiskey for promoting recruits has been among the most talked of subjects around the hot stove league. WA5T SOX STARS "We could trade of course, but every one we talk to wants Schalk, Dick Kerr or Eddie Collins. When they talk like that tha conversation always ends," he said. Gleason : wanted to talk business with Clarke Griffith for Bobby Roth, but he found that the Yankees were in ahead of him. "We're hot worrying, though. We're lining up a bunch of good youngsters and we H get there, ujust give us time, and the squatty little leader walked away. High School League Will Be Eeorganized C. K. Cleveland, temporary chairman of - the Portland Public High School league, has appointed Hopkin Jenkins, principal of Jefferson high, chairman ; William T. Fletcher, James John high, and S. F.

The name for the new circuit will be settled at that time. Pope Starts Weight Work University of Washington, Seattle, Jan. 17.

Jao, 17 Rumors that the British government would not allow the Dempsey-Carpentier fight to be staged in England were definitely quashed Wednesday by C. B. Cochran, who, with Tex Kickard and William A. Brady, is promoting: the championship contest. For weeks the London papers baye been full of long articles telling in great de tail why. "In the first place, the fight will never come off, and, if it does, it will not be here. "Dempsey and Carpenter are more than anxious to fight said Cochran. "They will fight wherever we tell them to. or they both forfeit money advanced, which is more than 250,000 francs in the case of Carpentler. EXCHANGE UNFAVORABLE "Jack Kearns does not refuse to fight his champion in England, as I have read. There is no written clause in the con tract to this effect, but he has told us singly and collectively that he has no objections to fighting here, providing his side was paid in dollars, the same amount as I stated in the contract. Of course, that is a fairly difficult thing to do, on account of the present i unfavorable ex change between New York and London. "Carpentler would just as soon fight in London as anywhere.: He has told me that time and again, and so has his man ager, Descampg. I have a site for a great covered arena, seating 70,000, un der option, and am willing to build. In case the fight does come here, the prices will be 'from 1 per seat to $70, or from IZ to 20 at the present exchange rates. NEW YORK FAVORED "And you can also take it from me that Carpentler is more than convinced he can whip Jack Dempsey. Personally, I don't care to express my opinion, be cause I have never seen Dempsey in ac tion, but the Frenchman has. and I con sider him a fairly good judge of another fighter's merits. And.after that punling exhibition Dempsey made against Bren nan. I don't know but that Georges has ome grounds for being so confident. "Regarding the reports that the pow ers that be here will not allow us to stage the fight In Britain, that is foolish and unreasonable. I am the only one in England concerned with the fight, and no one has ever approached me telling me it couldn't be held here. There is no reason why it; cannot be, and it will be, is necessary." Cochran explains that final arrange ments for the Dempsey-Carpentier Tight will be completed within the next two months. Despite the reported attitude of Governor Miller on the boxing ques tion, he adheres to the opinion that the fight will take place In or near New York. Michigan's Stadium Will Be EeadyJor 1921 Gridiron Games Ann Arbor, Mich.. Jan. 17. (I. N. S.) Plans for the erection of a new con crete north stand -and a new west stand to complete the "U" stadium on Ferry field have been approved by the board in control of athletics at the University of Michigan and work on this project will begin in the spring if bids are In side the $400.00,0 mark. The old wooden north stand will be torn down and part of it moved over to the baseball diamond, where it will serve a jnuch needed purpose in taking care of the baseball fans in the spring. A modern concrete structure similar to the present south stand will take its place, while another one on the west side will connect the two, thus forming the giant horseshoe. WILL GO OVER BIDS Plans soon will be given to the engi neers for the finishing touches and bids will be called for. The board in con trol will meet the middle of this month to accept or reject tha bids. It is hoped that, barring unforeseen obstacles, the new stadium will be completed in time for the 1921 football season. i j It is "estimated by the board that be tween $350,000 and $400,000 will be needed to do the work. If the bids prove to be around these amounts no doubt contracts will be let. The esti mate is considered reasonably safe by members of the board. The new "Uf stadium will seat about 44,000 persona; thus equalling the ca pacity of the Harvard stadium and fall ing short of the Yale bowl by about 18.000. The plans were drawn up by Professor Lewis M. Gram of the engi neering department. Spokane Bowlers Win From Portland Spokane. Wash., Jan. 17.
