Every major leacue team was ready to bid for three of Dunn's stars in the draft. They were Jake Bentley, the home run king of the minors; Outfielder Jaeobson and Pitcher Jack Ogden.

He would be giving away three or four pounds and it means quite a little to a bantam to meet the champUa Mike, however, is willing to work off the excess poundage in QPlti to get a crack at the champ. i Lynch, using the champlci'i prerogative, declares that he will come in at catchweights. He fur-gets that he met and defeated Pefi Herman after weighing in at li at 3 p. m.

Fanning worked out today with Buck Timothy and displayed great cleverness in the boxing line. He didn't cut loose with anything, but his long reach and deep shoulders bespoke a good lick.

Donahue is billed to box a Philadelphia welter named Phipps, who Is a former marine with a good boxing reputation in and around the Quaker City.

Jack Johnson used to block his man's blows by merely placing his gloves on the puncher's biceps. Tbe blow was arrested before it had really started. He caught most of Jeffries' punches in this manner. Harry Lewis was one of the cleverest welterweights in the country some years ago. Lewis had a particularly tough skull, and he put it to use.

Hons desiring days In baseball areat band, claims rMlke Sexton, president of tbe National Association of Baseball clubs tho minor leagues who was here yesterday conferring with Peoria baseball men. "Judge Landis and hla new baseball governing body are Just get- ting down, to work and there will be a complete cleanup before the new high commissioner finishes his Mr. Sexton declared.

"The -cleanup ha already started, and element and individuals giving the game a black eye in other years will all be eliminated before the playing season is far along, i Win Back Fans' Confidence. think the new baseball organ-si ration will work very much to the benefit of the game, and the confl-' dence of the general public which has been considerably shaken by events taking place in the last couple of years, will be back stronger than ever by the time the -next championship races are decided. "Gambling must go. That's the first move Judge Landis and his assistants will make. A big nxajor-ity of our states will have laws written and in effect by the time the new season opens, prohibiting baseball gambling in every phaae.

-Had the gamblers been dealt with and dealt with, severely three years ago, the latest basebaiy scandals would have never happened. When asked as to the standing of the various members of the Chicago-White Sox now under ment for throwing the 1919 world's aeries to Cincinnati, Mr. Sexton de-j clared their cases had not come of-7 flriallT before the new board. He did hint, however, that regardless "of any action of the Cook county i courts, there is little likelihood of any-of the eight players ever find-; ing employment again in organized baseball. How about Back Weaver? Mr.

Sexton was asked. "In the eye of the baseball public he is placed alongside of Cicotte, Jackson, William and the others that have made confessions. He may escape punishment at the hands of Cook: county court officials, bat his career in baseball is another proposition. Would the tans In your city tolerate any of the player under suspicion on this Peoria clubT" was Mr. Sextons reel.

Mr. Sexton also had some encour aging predictions to make regarding the outlook for baseball this season. "Last season went down as the greatest in history," he said. "Interest everywhere is very much alive, and I look for the attendance in 1921 to shatter the records made last year." Outside of admitting be was nere 'on baseball business, Mr. Sexton sdid not announce the object of his errand.

He was a guest of President Jack Ryan and Manager Bill Jackson of the Tractors at the Fans association boxing show last night, 'and later held a long conference with the Peoria club president. He expected to return to hi home In Rock Island today. Mr. 8exton explained that his mission had been an effort to bring industrial baseball under some branch of organized baseball, for which purpose he had conferred with official of the Staley Manufacturing company at Decatur. Mr.

Sexton stated that the Staley people were in favor of getting together with organised baseball. He said that they wanted to work in harmony with the organized ball and for the best interest for all sport events. Industrial baseball will not be as prominent this season as it was last year. Several teams have already been dropped but concerns sucli as the Staleys and Fairbanks-Morse expect to support ball clubs. Thev.

however, are in the game for the sport and publicity connected with the game and have never "created much trouble for the or cranized Ioods. Mr. Sexton stated that an effort was being made by the baseball magnates to create a new branch under which the industrial clubs might be classified. The Staley people appeared very favorable to the plan. In regard to the draft Mr.

Sexton declared that he thought a majority of the minor league clubs would accept it. The only leagues that appeared doubtful were the American association and the International leagues. They are, in fact, big leagues in themselves. AUGIE-ST. VIATOR BASKETBALL GAME PLAYED TONIGHT The Augustana-St.

Pal Moore, the Memphis bantam, fights with his hands dangling at his sides, his head thrust forward as if inviting a clip on the chin. As a matter of fact, the invitation is always there but the chin isn't. In fact, it seldom is. Moore's defense has nothing to do with his hands. His Judgment of distance and nimble footwork take the place of the orthodox fighting pose, handed down from generation to generation since the days of Figg, with variations here and there.

Moore's defense is the oddest thing in the ring today. Moore draws his foe's fire by thrusting forward his chin. Then almost simultaneously, it seems, he whisks it away, charging in with a flurry of blows on his chagrined antagonist. Doe All But Hit.

Bashang's visit to Evansville from his home, Cincinnati, was unannounced and the signing of a contract is a complete surprise to Evansville fans who were under the impression that a player from Class AA team was to be signed. While in Evansville Saturday, Bashang informed Asplan of the players he has signed for workouts with the Evas this spring. Bashang has contracts from twenty men. Three pitchers coming to Evansville are: Dewey Bohannoh, Farm-ington. Joe Ulrich, Cincinnati, and Lee Diel, St.

When Lew Groh resigned last July after a stormy half-season, Bashang was chosen to lead the Evas and he led the club into second place at the close of the season, Bashang has played with the St. Louis Cardinals.

CAN WHITE SOX COME BACK, IS ASKED BY FANS Question Universal WheQier Bemoan ts of Once Strong' Team Can Stand with Makeshifts. Chicago, Feb. 9. (United Press.) What about the once powerful White Sox ball club will it have a chance In 1921? Followers of the national game everywhere are asking this question as the opening of the season draws nearer. Can a club that has lost such great players as Jackson, Felsch, Weaver, Cicotte and Williams, among others, who were suspended and indicted, be built up on one spring training trip so that it can be a pennant contender? When the new WThite Sox team trots out for the first time this season it will be regarded with the greatest curiosity by the fans, for it will be these players who will answer the question uppermost in the minds of fans who have followed the flag of Comiskey.

A good guess now as to the opening lineup would be as follows: Schalk, catcher. Kerr, pitcher. Sheely, first base. E. Collins, second base.

Ernie Johnson, shortstop. Mu Hi (ran, third base. J. Collins, left field. trunk, center field.

Llebold, right field. It will be seeen that the new White Sox. as they now look on paper, will not be an entirely green team. The outfield will be composed of seasoned veterans, although it is quite possible that Johnny Mostll, last year with Milwaukee, will be given a chance at center in place of Strunk. Up to Infield.

But it will depend to a very great extent upon the new members in the infield whether the Sox are to be in the running or not. three new men on the infield played with the Salt Lake club last year and made excellent showings. Sheely hit .374 last season, Johnson .337 and Mulligan .299. Manager Gleason will go south with a horde of ball players, most of them unknown recruits. The White Sox management has been unable to make trades with major league clubs during the winter and have had to depend upon tbe minors.

Gleason anticipates more difficulty in bolstering up the pitching staff than any other department. OHIO GRID CHIEF ELIGIBLE TO PLAY AGAIN NEXT YEAR Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 9. Captain Ellas M. Huffman of the 1920 Ohio State football team, is eligible to play next fall, it was announced today.

Representative Flagg said he had taken the bill bodily from that introduced in the Missouri legisla- I ture, said to represent the desire of tne national commission.
