Sport Gossip in
Eastern Circles
By United Xewl
TVTEW YORK, Feb. JO. The American
XI league schedule is an unromantic
document, resembling a suburban time
table or the sliding scale of the typo
graphical union.
But when read with expert under
standing; this 1923 program reveala
much more than mere statistics. For
Instance, the schedule shows that the
Yankees will have Babe. Ruth back in
the lineup for their first game on the
home lot . The Yanks open the season on
tour and. their first home game is a
contest with the Browns, April 20, when
Ruth's suspension will expire. On that
day, therefore, with Babe and his fellow
Offenders, Bob Meusel and BUI Piercey
back in the game, the Yanks may ex
pect a holiday crowd big enough to pack
the entire park.
Of course it is still possible that Judge
Landls will reinstate Ruth before the
expiration of his banishment.

(Copyrixht. 122 j by TJBtrafaU tserriee)
JVJKW YORK. Feib. 10. Tonight Benny
1 1 Jaonard, th sleek looking lad from
the Bronx, defends his title or light
weight champion of the world against
Rocky Kansas well called rocky of
Buffalo. .
Leonard, oa form, should be a 1 to 10
shot- '
He may not stop Kansas, but he onght
to win on points by as far as from here
to Niagara Falls.
It is the skilled i mechanic against the
laborious Kansas j rugged toller in the
pugilistic pits meets a first grade artist.
Awkward, rude of fistic manner, the
man from Buffalo steps into the Queens-
berry parlor to encounter a suave chap,
polished with the refinement of fistic
knowledge and gifted above ordinary
mortals with ring style and class.
HAS THE CLASS
In all fields of athletic endeavor, class
generally tells. Leonard has the class.
Clever, cool, courageous, experienced, far
above the Buffalo boy in the Queensber-
ry classification, i
He is tne better ngnter. He is ready,
When you have the best fighter ready.
the result seems almost a foregone con-
clusion.
It is possible, of course .for Kansas to
win.
It was possible for Georges Carpentier
to win at Jersey City last summer.
Any time a fighter crawls into the ring
it is possible for turn to win against any
other man in the world.
But in the case of Kansas, as in Car-
rentier's-case,, the element of possibility
seems quite remote. His victory would
appear a puguistlq miracle.
ERNE SHOWED HIM
Kansas is a blocky, rough, tough Ital
Ian. His right name is Rocco ' Tozzo.
Why they ever changed this picturesque
cognomen for Rocky Kansas, we do not
know. Hia people icamo from Sicily.
Rocky got his first ring teachings from
Frank Erue. once the champion light
weight and one of the greatest boxers
the ring has ever known. Somewhere
along: the line Kansas lost whatever idea
Of cleverness that may have been im
planted In hia mind by association with
t-rne. i
He rushes at an opponent wide ODen
But as he moves he chucks ahead of him
a wicked left-hand rip, aimed at the body
of his opponent He is stout of body and
stout of heart, an eager, earnest doer in
the ring, but still lacking the sparkle
that is Leonard's inheritance and which
is called class. j
Leonard is probably not as good as he
waa a couple of years ago.
In fact, there is quite an element of
mystery as to his real ability, especially
a",135 pounds. Kansas' main chance is
the possibility of ;the champion having
gone farther back than anyone suspects.

TVTEW YORK, Feb. JO.- Word went
LH about Broadway haunts today that

Demnsey-Caroentler;; fight. ; Insiders
Ijnew It was coming, and while Kearos

This sum Is equal to that which-William

Kearns. by tha way, Is greatly Interest
ed in the crack California Jlghtweight,
Jimmy Duffy, who - It was said today,
will be matched "to-fight Lew Tendler,
the fast Philadelphia southpaw, at the
Madison Square Garden on February 24.

TVTEW TORK, Feb. 10. Peace be
JLI tween Ban Johnson, president
of the American league, and Colonel
T. I Huston, part owner of the
New Tork Tanks, was one of the
results of the scheduled meeting of
the league held in Washington, said
baseball folks, who returned here
Thursday. Colonel . Huston re-
mained in Washington. He was said
to be in Ban Johnson's company :
when the New Tork delegation left
the capitol city, v -.-- .-
Harry Fraxee, owner of the Bos
ton Red Sox, was not Included in .
the peace circle. ;
Nor was Colonel Jake Ruppert,
Huston's partner, on the ownership
of the Tanks, but Ruppert was never
as hotly involved against -Johnson
as were his associates. . -
The break In the American league
came, during the 1919 season when
President Johnson suspended Carl

Big Amateur Ring
Card to Be Staged
Tonight in Armory
rTVHE new White rules governing- wrest
X ling matches proved satisfactory in
Thursday night s mat tourney in the La
bor temple. In fact, the rules made the
card, for the erapplera were forced to
extend themselves throughout. The rules
call for rounds, rather than long-drawn
out affairs to a falL
"Trolley" Besson can enter the I-Told-
You-So" front row, too. "Trolley" lost
the first fall to "Moose" Norbeck In
minutes and 25 seconds, but he came
back, as he predicted, and threw his big
opponent in 3 minutes and 50 seconds.
and the last time in 40 seconds.
The Beeson-Norbeck affair was billed
as the main event, but the best bout of
the evening was the Eli Iaux-Paul Kenny
engagement. These .two middleweighta
went at each other from gong to gong.
Oscar Butler was to have met Lux, but
he was taken ill and Kenny- agreed to
take Butler's place.
The lone fall of the Lux-Kenny match
came in the third 15-minute round, when
Lax pinned his opponent in 5 minutes
and 30 seconds. Lux picked up Kenny
and started swinging him in midair un
til Paul saw the spectators mingled asl
one, and just as it looked to him that the
roof was about to meet the floor he
dropped dizzily to the mat. Before he
could realize that he was in a wrestling
match, and not taking part in some trick
airplane stunts, Kenny found himself tied
in a knot and -he had to give up.
Lux had attempted the same thing in
the round previous, but he dropped Ken
ny before'the full effects of the swinging
had. made him subconscious. At any
rate, the fans were given a thrill, and
they enjoyed it immensely. Lux' was
given the decision by virtue of scoring
the one fall.
In the preliminaries John Videhoff won
on aggressiveness over Jimmy Anderson,
and Red Nutting won the decision over
Jack Larry, neither winner being able to
secure a fall. Promoter Ad Garlock ref-
ereed the two main bouts, with F. T.
Merrill and M. C. Hill as the timekeepers.
Eickard is not thinking much about
the heavyweight title Just now, but he Is
greatly interested in Une light-heavy'
weight situation. Now that ho has Har
ry Greb and Tommy Gibbons hooked up
for the middle of March,. he says that
this battle will lead to a meeting between
Gene Tunney, present holder of the title.
and the winner of the Greb-Gibbons
setto. ' -
Greb and Gibbons, by the way, met at
Dempsey's training quarters at Atlantic
City last spring. Harry smiled in recog
nltion. but Tommy's eyes shifted else
where.
"Guess he's forgotten me," smiled
Greb, "although I don't see why, since
beat him six months ago in the ring."
Babe Herman of the Wfest eoast and

For the first time since Babe Ruth
began absorbing all the glory of the

from a fellow member of the team. Chick

visiting the Washington meeting of the
magnates, complained that the club pays
Ruth so much that other players have
trouble obtaining the. salary they de
serve. Fewster Is the lad who knocked
a homer In the last year's world series
while substituting for Ruth. He hasn't
signed up yet, being dissatisfied with
the price offered.

saw a fast combination," said J. Ray

"they had better turn out for next Satur
day's game In the Winged M gymna
slum. The Walla Walla Young Men's
Christian Association will form the op
position, and it is reported that -the vis
itors make up the fastest and strongest
quintet on the Pacific coast.
"That claim can be substantiated tn
that Idaho was defeated by Walla Walla
in the Whitman college gymnasium
Washington State college also was de
feated and Whitman college was given
two wallopings on the. home floor. The
Spokane Amateur Athletic club suffered
twice and the Third "Marne" Division
aggregation was also beaten.
"The Walla Walla team holds the Pa
cific Northwest association of the Ama'
teur Athletic Union championship, hav
ing won the title at the annual tourna
ment in Seattle last spring. The visitors
have two of the best shooters ever Been
in this part of the country in Dement
at center and Hunter as a forward or
running guard. We art making plans
for a recordbreaker attendance, because
lit will be many a day before followers of
the hoop game will have another oppor
tunlty to see such a strong, combination
working at top speed. We're not making
any predictions as to the outcome, but
the Multnomah players are going to
spring something on the Walla Walla
outfit when they appear on our floor."
