TVTEW YORK. Dec. 21. Although Tex
Riekard wUl not admit it. there is a
flatie famine -on . In New York and the
starving, famished" 111 nitht species
r of fight fan is fast dying out on ac-
count1 of malnutrition. i f -
For-the first several months of the
present .indoor campaign!" exactly- one
title bout has been held, on that occa
sion' Jack Britton received less than
139,000 Tor losing1 bJs welterweight title
to Mickey Walker. Then and there,
the rest of the big timers, who had
,' not already rushed to cover, proceeded
to do so i with unseemly ' haste.' They
, have found that it is considerably
more beneficial to; lose one's title out
doors. If, at alL
, If the transaction is conducted in
. the broad, open spaces, many merry
. villagers, even at a nominal - sum ' per
bead, contribute to the size . of the
"' purse. .- Indoors, at Madison ' Square
Harden, it has become a Question of
charging; "J15 as a top price and doing
business to a semi-filled audience or
playing ,to a capacity crowd in which
no man can count above seven dollars
and fifty cents when buying a ticket.
The time was not so long ago when
$1& prevailed as the top price at or
dinary bouts, such as that between
Pepper Martin and Babe Herman. But
in the meantime, vour Broadway sport
- had discovered that 115 win buy ail
manner of. necessities from 1500 shoe
laces to the 'privilege of 'sitUng in a
- supper club for an hour -or less.
. Only for a champion and a principal
contender can such a price -be charged
.- now. , That is one of the' contributing
factors in the suspension of Johnny
Kllbane. When Kllbane was challenged
' a blanket of -snow lay over Boyle's
Thirty ' Acres and the Polo Grounds,
. and in consequence, his demand for
9100,000 could not be met It is also
the principal reason that Benny Leon
ard is doiag all the talking with his
month,", closed however, when someone
- mentioned -.Charlie White and , Lew

Manage Richmond
(Br United Mews)
New York, Dec 21. When Davey,
Robertson, the Giants veteran out
fielder, was released to manage the
Richmond club of the Virginia league.
it' was recalled that Robertson first
came up to the Giants almost 10 years
ago as a southpaw . pitcher of great
promise. After his tryout.he returned
to college, and contrary to orders from
John : McGraw, played a backfield position-
in a crucial football game . for
his school. His left , shoulder was
cracked in the game and Robertson
never pitched again, , but converted
himself onto a reliable big league out
fielder. He ranked with George
Burns, now of the Reds, as one of the
most popular Giant veterans.

Mm ors1 Are
Opposed to
New H. K. Rule
By Joss B. Tester, .
(Copyrirht 192.
1TKW YORK, Dec 2L Reformers In
baseball, are not likely to receive
any revrebrating cheers when they
start to talk about reforming the home
run. Any plan for an altered standard
for the horn, run. apparently will have
the opposition of the National League.
the Philadelphia National League club
and perhaps some others ' of that cir
cuit and It may be frowned on by the
league itself.
Mention of a modification of . the
playing rules In regard to four base
swats has set the minors on their
ears. They do not want anything- of
the kind. - Not all the minor league
clubs are blessed with fine fields and
ornate - stands and they want ' home
runs to ftontlnne to be swatted within
their little old parks just as they al
ways have been.
IS STANDARD SOW
There Is no real desire to hit the
home run between the- eyes and put It
out of business for 'all 'time.. Those
who believe that a change , would be
attempted which would do away with
home runs have xot the wrong impres
sion. The Intent is to standardise the
homer so that four-sack hits will be
more symmetrical. This despite the fact
that the home run right now is about
the most standardized thing i except
the gauges of railroad tracks.
The standard for Ruth and the "un
der-Ruths Is 235 feet. Any hit that
goes 225 feet and at the' same time
goes over a fence or a barrier Is a legal
home run. Hence there is no need to
standardise -what ts already stand
ard. Suggestion has been made by
advocates of a change that- the stand
ard be made 300 feet-1 Some Jump. If
65 feet are to be added to the required
distance for a : home - run. measuring
poles will have-to be set up la both
left and right field at the Polo
Grounds, in the right field In the Na
tional grouida in Chicago, -The Phlla
delphla National Park, the Cleveland
grounds, the Brooklyn field and per
haps in the New York Yankee stadium
here. - - . s . -
WOULD HANDICAP MINORS '
On most of the big league fields, the
left field stand are Just a trifle far
ther than 300 feet away, from the plate.
Any additions to the stands will come
within 300 feet and mQeposts for hom
ers would be necessary.
The minor teams would Toe helplessly
handicapped in many - cities as the
fences in some of their parks are out
side the 235 foot limit but within the
300-foot mark. The . minors want . to
be left alone with the same old fences
to clear that were cleared -when they
built their grounds on the present
rule basis.

yachtsmanship might decide the race.
Therefore the duke will select a ship
mate and Nutting; will take along; Casey
Baldwin, a Canadian yachtsman. ,
Both men will Immediately set about
preparing; their craft. Nuttina- will
have his : built. . The duke will try to
buy his ? boat : but, f ailing- to find a
suitable 'craft, will go to the buildera
