Al 1 w M BY EDDIE BRIETZ. Winters, Boston middleweight wrestler, meets Jos Shimkus. Charlotte , favorite, at the Auditorium Tuesdav night in what bids fair to be one of the best mat shows of the season. Winters, accompanied by his man ager, reached the city Thursdav morn ing, coming direct from the Hub, where he has been bowling over an comers with a regularity that has brought him into the mat limelight. Shimkus, who has been making headquarters here, has been working out daily in preparation for his mill with the New Englander. His friends are wagering heavily on the go. "Jaunty Jawn" Klliott, the promoter, has signed Frankie Lewis, Boston wel terweight boxer., to take on Kid Mer chant, of Charlotte, in a slashing semi final. The boys will put on a four round sparring exhibition. Although tired from his long ride, Winters donned his trunks and "took a light work out soon after his arrival here. He is a well set-up chap with powerful arms and sturdy shoulders. He conies heralded as ono of the best middles in the east, but local men who have been watching Shimkus do not hesitate to say that the Northern er has his work cut out for liim tonight. Bill Brennan. Bill Brennan has failed twice to knock Jack Dempsey off his pins and his chance of holding the heavyweight title looks slim, but he does claim one title that of "champion knockout artist of the rinj;." Brennan produces a record which shows he has laid low 41 of the men he has faced in 57 battles since 1914. RICKEY OPPOSES PENNANT BUYING St. Louis Fans Believe in the Cards Because They Kept Rogers Hornsby. BY HENRY L. FARRELL. United Press Staff Correspondent. New York, Dec. 29. So much mon ey was thrown to the four winds at the Winter baseball meetings that wise heads of the game are scenting the danger of commercialism. New York fans will not have their interest in the game weakened because the Giants pad $K0,000, but the en thusiasm of the Cincinnati bugs may cool if Herrmann and Moran don't get them something worth while for that pile of money. Only two clubs in the National League are able to pay gigantic sums for star players the Giants and the Cubs. If they succeeded in buying ev ery good prospect in the minors and any star player they wrant in the ma jors by outbidding other clubs, the Na tional League eventually will reach the situation now existing in the Interna tional League, where the fans arc ready now to hand the 1922 pennant to Baltimore. That's when One of the player buying ager of the St. Turned down a BOB MARTIN INJURED. Terra Alta, W. Va., Dec. 29. Bob Martin, heavyweight champion boxer of the American expeditionary forces, was injured near his home here yesterday when his automobile overturned on a curve. His face was cut and attending physicians said his chest was injured by the steering shaft. GOLF CHAMPIONS OX TOUR. San Francisco, Calif., Dec. 29. Jim Barnes and Jock Hutchison, golf cham pions, on a. tour of the United States, will remain here for about ten days'. Today they meet two local players, William McEwan and John MaeCregor. In their opening appearance here were defeated by Mac Donald Smith and Sam Whiting and there is talk of a re turn match. POLISH BOY CHESS WIZARD HAS RIVAL; CHICAGO BOY WOULD LIKE TO MEET HIM jrjj-g WEST PLANS TO BOYCOTT GAMES Disgruntled With Reception Accorded Them Last Year at Penn Meet. Ralph Talitikoff, left, and Samuel Rzeszewski, the Polish phenom. American chess enthusiasts were interested some months ago In the remarkable exhibitions of Samuel Rzeszewski, eight-year-old lad from Polaad. wha met and defeated roomfnls of adult experts nightly during a tour. Now the west is talking about Ralph Talitikoff, ten-year-old Chicago boy. Ralph recently won a tournament at the Union League club of Chicago, defeating thirty contestants. Ralph is a mem ber of thf boy club of that orgarizaticn. The runft.er-up in the tourney was another bov his age, Frar.k Paghano A woman's line of talk is the tele phone; -which is why you always get the- busy signal. The clothes of a woman who dresses beyond her means seldom go beyond much of anything. Des Moines, la., Dec. 29. The Middle Western Olympics will be neld here next Spring. The quarter-mile oval of the Drake University stadium will see a two day series of track and relay games that is expected to demonstrate the super ior prowess of Western athletes against the East. Drake's relay will be in direct com petition with the well-known Penn games. "Big Ten" track coaches, dis gruntled with the reception given them in the East, decided to throw all their strength to the Drase games, and it is highly problematical if a single athlete from west of the Alleghanies will dig a cleat in Philadelphia's cinders. Date of the Drake carnival was set the same as the Penn games April 29. Now, say the coaches, one need but compare the records in Sunday morn ing papers, April 30, to decide the su periority. Universities of the Missouri valley and Southern conferences and non-conference schools, including Notre Dame, have promised to throw their entire strength to the Iowa meet, instead of splitting their squads between the meets as in the past. Dissatisfaction with the Penn carni val was brought about by the refusal of the Penn authorities to pay any part of the visiting athletes' expenses, al though the meet was a financial success. Poor care of visiting track men, and the action of the Eastern schools in refus ing to enter representatives in the na tional intercollegiate meet in Chicago in June were also advanced as grievances. Scope of events in the Drake games has been enlarged lrom the original dozen relays to a complete track meet. 'Events added this year include 100- vard and 220 dashes, the 120-yard low hurdles, the 220 and 440,-yard low hur dles, the javelin throw, and the hop st ep-an d-j ump . Watches will be the prizes for -firsts, the same as the big Eastern meet the Drake games are designed to supercede. Preliminary heats will be held on Fri day, according to present plans, and the finals and relay races will take place Saturday. Track and grounds inside the big con crete stadium, known as the best in the Middle West, will be placed in intensive preparation for the biggest meet. Track Coach K. L. Wilson, of Drake, has prom ised. Wilson's promises to the "Big Ten" officials in Chicago were instrumen tal in influencing them to throw all their strength to the meet here, and he is working hard to put the Eastern meet ' in the shade." DURHAM CAGERS WIN THIRD STRAIGHT GAME Kannapolis. Dec. 29. The Durham Y. M. C. A. basketball team turned in its third victory for the week here Wednesday night by defeating the Kannapolis team 29 to 28 in a slow but interesting game. Knight, of Durham, was the individ ual star, scoring L-i points and holding his opponent to nothing. Durham (29) Position Kannapolis (28) Perry (2) Carmichael (8) . Knight (13) .. Mangum (2) . .

Seybold, former American League baseball player who was killed in an automobile accident near Ligon ier last week. hfve been granted to Albert E. Seybold. The estate is val ued at $20,000 the sing will come. bitterest opponents of is lirancn lackey, man- Louis Cardinals, who $250,000 bid from the Giants last Winter for Rogers Hornsby. "At the time the offer was made, the St. Louis club was in tight financial straits, j-acKey saia auring tne re cent meetings. "We had several places in wlrch we could have used $250,000 and perhaps we could have gotten along without Hornsby. The fans be gan to mumble louder than they had been over a club that wasn't going any too good. "We announced we wouldn't sell Hornsby and wo didn t. The result was j the fans gained confidence in the club j and they began to come to the park. Apparently they had the idea that they would try to make our refusal profit able. And it has been. "The New York club claims that. I by buying big stars, they get a great road team that draws big money into j every park they visit. Every team in! the league drew almost as well in St. Louis as the Giants. The result is tnat. after a year, ! we are satisfied that we kept Hornsby.! We have a club that I sincerely be lieve has a most excellent chance for the pennant next season. But that is j secondary to the fact that the fans are with the. club, believe in it and, j if we get a pennant for them, their faith will not have been misplaced." Rickey is r.ot alone in opposing the use of money alone in building a team. Barney Dreyfuss, of the Pirates; Charles Ebbets. of the Robins, end Wil liam Veeck, of the Cubs, have been loud in denunciating reckless expendi-1 tures of cash for players who are not worth it.
