Ring By F airplay ICaprrfcht. 1922. hj Tta Journal) NEW YORK. Feb. 17. Out of the Mid dle Witt today there cm a .bird mng. and tu refrain was alt about Floyd ' Pltsalmmona and Benton Harbor. Mich. Floyd, that wily and Indomitable pro moter of near-championship battles, ac rdlng to rumor, la going to hook up .lark Dempsey for a fight before Jack's departure for Europe, which la now scheduled for early In May. Jack and Floyd are great paU. In fact, the cham pion haa never shown the slightest hesi tation In doing everything he could to 'put money Into the promoter pockets. GOVERNOR MAT APFBOYE Ho now. It appears. Jack haa slipped wcrd to Fits that he will fight for him If a bout can be staged just as soon aa It la warm enough to exercise out of doors. Fttsalmmona has already gone to Oov- ' eraor Oroebeck of Michigan, and It Is aid haa word that If a proper opponent for Pempeey can be named, why, there will be no objection to a bout. Since the , governor sanctioned Billy Mlske as an opponent for Dempsey a couple of years ago, there seems no good reason why he ' should balk over some such nominee as Bill Brennan. In fact, rumors Indicate that Brenhan Is the man Kloyd Is after. WHITE RTART8 WOBK Charley White has arrived In' this city frrm Chicago to prepare for his coming bout asairwit Willie Ja,ckxon. Out in Chi cago the fans believe that White has it In him to tske Benny Leonard, and they would dig deep to see the two light wtlghts In action. Aa to this. Easterners will have a better line after the Jack eon fight. Willie frt not a champion, but he Is plenty good enough to extend any . of them, and the boy that beats him de cisively is automatically in line for a crock at the title. KMJU5H BOT KAYOF.D Just as everyone was beginning to tout Charley Harvey's English hopeful. Jot Conn, he goes and gets put to sleep by Mir key Donley of Newark. Donley was merely a substitute. Conn had been hooked up to meet Sailor Friedman in Philadelphia and the Chlcagoan couldn't mtke the (lets. So Donley went Into the ring on tour hours' notice. Conn got his ep here by -bustlnj Mike Carlson, the terrible Swede; from St. Paul. Minn., In 1'lttsburg, last week. - BIKE LKADKRS GAIN LAP Chicago. Feb. 17. (U. P.) Reggie McXamara of Newark, N.

Polo Began in 710 A. D. . te. s? Chinese Started SAN is FRANCISCO. Feb. 17. Here Polo originated In China and Chinese played it from the backs of donkeys over 1200 years ago, ac cording to C P. Lancaster, polo player, writer and traveler of Chi cago, who arrived Wednesday from the Orient. Lancaster, who claims the distinc tion of being the only person to have played polo in every country in the world, says that the Chinese were (he champion polo players of the world 300 years before the game was ever heard In India, where the sport was supposed to have origi nated. . "According to what I learned while 'in 'the Orient, polo was played in China aa far back as 710 A. D. This explodes the theory that the game originated in India," Lancaster said. "From China the game became popular In Persia, and did not reach India until the year 1000. The Chinese played the game from the backs of donkeys; and from what I know of donkeys in China, it must have been some sport." Coast Crews Asked 1 To Enter Eegatta New York, Feb. 17. (I: N. S.)

Chipmaa CaiTunl Seniee Stiff Correspondent. NEW YORK. Feb. 17. Major league baseball players are crazed by the greatest wave, of money madness the game ever knew. Contracts that do not run into five- figures are being spurned by players who could not have made the major, league grade ten years ago and club owners are coaxing the recalcitrants in vain. Babe Ruth wants $75,000. Roger Homs- by avers-he must receive 125,000 a year for three, years. And Harry Heilman Is trying to take Frank over for 115,000. To sy nothing of the $54,000 case of Rousch. Magnates admit that one half of the regular, players in the major leagues re main unsigned and when this much is ad mitted it is safe to say that the percent age is much higher. And this with tfie training camps scheduled to open within the- fortnight DISPUTES ARE AIRED The condition of the two New York clubs probably is a fair example of how the rest of the clubs stand. Th Giants and the Yankees are not In the habit of airing their disnutes with playef a. but demands this winter became so exhorbitant that the owners decided to let the fans know the real conditions. Of the Yankee pitchers, Jones, Bush. Mays, Shawkey and O'Doul have yet to' agree to terms. Harper has been ex cused from renortlne. Mavs is demand ing more money in spite of a contract that has another year to run. Barnes and Douglas, two of the Giants' most ef fectlve boxmen, have not yet agreed to terms. REGULAR CATCHERS OUT The Giajnts' catching staff. Smith and Snyder, remains out of the fold, and s does Schang", the regular Yankee back stop. ,Hoffman and DeVormer, second and third string Yankee catchers, have signed contracts. The Yankee infield is fairly well cor ralled, with Scott Fewster, Baker and McNally in tne, but Ward and Pipp have not- signed. ' Ward demands $10,000. Frisch and Groh have signed Giant, con tracts but the other half of McGraw's million dollar quarter is out Kelly' and Bancroft Rawlings. who saved the world's series for the Giants but who will warm the bench this year, has not signed. Word comes from California that Irish Meusel has signed a Giant contract for $10,000. If true, this will complete Mc Graw's outfield, but Miller Hugglris has plenty to worry him In the outer works. Bob Meusel, an habitual holdout and Ruth have not come to terms. Of all the list of unsigned players, the greatest one Babe Ruth probably will be the easiest one any club owner will nave to aeai .witn. sabe has morv ground for his $75,000 demand than many of the others have for $10,000 and his club' owners know it In addition, Babe has his full share of intelligence and knows how to strike a business deal. His decision to start to camp now and talk business later Is a good example for other players who are demanding in creases. Plans Completed' For 1st Sportsman's Shaw at Auditorium There will be over 25 exhibits in the Tirst annual Sportsman and Motorcycle show to be held in The AuditoTium Feb ruary 22, 23 and 24.

For once In the history of baseball there is a dub which stands ready to spend its money and can't find any place to spend It There isn't a doubt that the owners of the- New York American league club de parted from the city of Washington bit terly disappointed. Not a fault will be found with Washington or the sincerity of their reception while they were within the national capital.

Colonel Ruppert says they were ready to convince their constituents that they wanted the best to be had, and Colonel Huston says Colonel Ruppert la right and when Colonel Huston says they were after the best ballplayer that seemed available Colonel Ruppert says Huston is right They still have their money and they were still trying today to convince their fellow-members of the American league circuit that tbey should be permitted to buy. WA7JT REAL CLASS They don't want anything that Is or dinary. They are out for silk shirt and silk sock ballplayers. They might like to buy another Ruth, and perhaps would if there were another in the offing, be cause they are bent upon taking the pennant of theAmerican league under their ming for another season. If Comiskey would let Schatk go. the chances are the colonels would count out the money so rapidly that they would burn some of the 100s off the face of the bills.
