THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. FIRPO MAY TAKE ON WILLS SOON (By Davis J. Walsh) (I. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—With the laudable idea of killing two birds with one box office, Tex Rickard was working on a proposition today whereby Luis Firpo and Harry Wills were to meet for the honor and glory of a match with Jack Dempsey—and the gate receipts. The worthy Mr. Rickard's idea is to have Luis and Harry frole before the rattitude on July 5 and send the winner against Dempsey on Labor Day. This program would provide three separate and distinct box office totals for Rickard and only two for Dempsey. Mr. Rickard will certainly have to explain that one to Jack Kearns, Mr. Dempsey's man of business. However, the promoter admitted he had deployed into a conference with Piddy Mullins, manager of Wills and that everything was sweet or at least not altogether sour. Mullins, it seems, has agreed to have Wills step out with Firpo provided he can be convinced that a Dempsey-Wills project lacks official favor in this state. "Wills is ready to meet Firpo," he said today, "but I stick to my old statement that he is after a match with Dempsey first and foremost. If you can convince me that the bout is not possible, I will sign for Wills to meet Firpo." Among boxing men of practical experience, this statement is regarded as being tantamount to the assurance that Wills and Firpo will mingle. The bout would draw a tremendous crowd at the polo grounds, second only to that of the Dempsey-Firpo brawl and altogether the situation is not one at which to sneer in a superior manner. SARGUM PROUTINGS By Sergum Sprout The Fullerton Club's boxing and wrestling show was great. The only disappointing feature being that Vic Baden was unable to appear on the card on account of a strained back. A big fellow by the name of Smith went on in Vie's place but proved no match for Wilson. Smith was not in condition nor had he the necessary knowledge to pin a man like Wilson. The first boxing event was between a couple of 122 pounders, Del Davis and Will Porry. Davis got away with two of the three rounds but received a draw for his pains. This bout was surely a comedy on boxing. The boys hit each other all the way from the toes up. The going got too hot for Petry in the third round and he dumped Davis with a head lock. What the boy lacked in science was more than made up in action. Adrean Marks, the club's Tex Jones, was well best by a long armed kid known as Sunser Randall. The referee was good to Marks and called the affair a draw. Wilson allowed Smith to roll him about ten minutes and then serenaded the long boy with a front body hold. The main event between Young Steele and Orlando Miller will long be remembered by all present. Steele is the pride of the Long Beach Police and he is some boy. Young, clean and intelligent, just the type of man we like to see in action. Miller is getting better all the time. He used his head and took advantage of every break. Even at that he was taxed to the limit. DEMPSEY MAINTAINED LONDON, Jan. 12.—Seeyer's recent intimates tend to visit Europe in the next few months; a crop of runs may display his presence in a British ring. Without having any tangible in the way of the boys that write the London papers has a nice little dish for him; main ingredient of the championship battle world's title holder pean opponent at Widium, where the Brow Exhibition is to be held. According to one story, a certain English book has booked the Wemble for a match in which tentatively agreed to The opponent suggest Georger Carpentier on field, a promising young heavyweight. Carpentier and Blox reported, are to have off fighting each other or of incurring a Dempsey. This arguing to present schedule staged in London re February. HOPPE MAINTAINED BOSTON, Jan. 12.

EXHIBITION MATCH LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12—With Willie I. Hunter and George Von Elm favorites, Arthur Havers and James Ockenden tackled the two So. Cal. amateurs in a 36 hole exhibition match today over the course of the Rancho Golf Club. Fully 1500 golf fans, who paid $1 a head to watch the stars do their stuff, were in the gallery that followed the big match. BASEBALL TRADE CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 12—Catcher Steve O'Nell, second baseman Bill Wanbgaans; Outfielder Connolly and Pitcher Boone of the Cleveland club, have been traded for first baseman George Burns and outfielders Fewster and Welter, of the Boston Red Sox, President E. S. Barnard of the Cleveland club announced this afternoon. "It was a straight trade, there was no cash involved," Barnard stated. TRUCK BURNED Fullerton fire department was called out last night at 7:40 to extinguish a fire on West Compton at Magnolia-ave, where a truck owned by the Triangle Express Co. and driven by Albert A. Greenleaf of Santa Ana had caught fire. The fire was put out before a great deal of damage was done. The front seat and the cab are said to have been ruined. The origin of the fire is not definitely known. Try a Plain Dealer Want Ad.

It will take up tax rates beginning Monday morning. Try a Plain Dealer Want Ad. Wilson allowed Smith to tell him about ten minutes and then scrambled the long boy with a front body hold. The main event between Young Steele and Orlando Miller will long be remembered by all present. Steele is the pride of the Long Beach Police and he is some boy. Young, clean and intelligent, just the type of man we like to see in action. Miller is getting better all the time. He used his head and took advantage of every break. Even at that he was taxed to the limit to handle the policeman. Hammer-locks, toe holds, the whole Nelson family of holds, body scissors, head scissors, and arm and leg holds were demonstrated in rapid succession. Time and again both were in very dire straits but each time they pulled out or slipped away from the punishing holds until Miller secured an arm strangle, which Steel could not break. The fall came after 25 minutes. After five minutes rem, both boys came back on the mat fully determined to flop the other quickest way possible. The clip was fast and furious. Miller almost tasted defeat with a violent hammer lock but succeeded in whirling out of it. After ten minutes of about the most spectacular wrestling Miller secured a combination hammerlock and head scissors and the show was over. In all there war only 38 minutes of wrestling but there was more real holds crowded into that 38 minutes than there is usually displayed into an hour and a half ordinary wrestling. These boys did not stall along to weaken the other down, they just stepped out and wrestled for all they were worth. If the fans knew such matches would continue the Club would have to hunt larger quarters to stage their shows. Carley McLain is still in the L.A. Hospital. Some days he appears well on the road to recovery and other days he is still in a critical condition. Everything possible is being done to restore his sight. Carley has a hard up hill fight on his hands but there is hope of his coming out victorious. HOPPE MAINTAINING COMfortable BOSTON, Jan.

HOMEWOOD “BETWEEN OIL AND ORANGES” DEMPSEY MAY BATTLE BRITON LONDON, Jan. 12—Jack Dempsey's recent intention that he intends to visit Europe again within the next few months has cultivated a crop of rumors that he may display his pugilistic talents in a British ring while he is on this side of the Atlantic. Without having anything really tangible in the way of fact, some of the boys that write pieces for the London papers have cooked up a nice little dish for Dempsey. The main ingredient of the dish is a championship battle between the world's title holder and a European opponent at Wembley Stadium, where the British Empire Exhibition is to be held next summer. According to one verge of the story, a certain English promoter has booked the Wembley Stadium for a match in which Demprey has tentatively agreed to participate. The opponent suggested is either Georger Carpentier or Jack Bloomfield, a promising young British heavyweight. Carpentier and Bloomfield, it is reported, are to have the privilege of fighting each other for the honor of incurring a match with Dempsey. This argument, according to present schedule, is to be staged in London some time in February.

Jan. 12.—Althe Welker Cochran of San Francisco challenger for the title of 18.2 balk line billards champion, again compiled the highest run of the evening with 135, and Willie Hoppe, holder of the laurels to which the westerner aspires, scored but 23 more points than his arrival in the second block of the match, the champion led comfortably today, 1,000 to 843, with 500 points yet to be played. Hoppe started where he left off the first night with an incomplete run to which he straightway added 39 points. Eighteen innings later he had completed the block. In but three innings did his scoring seem impressive, the fourth, when he clicked off sixty, the eighth, when he made 123 and the sixteenth when 96 placed him where a brief and incomplete run rounded out the second 500 points. Cochran's game seemed to get better as the second block was played. In addition to his high of 135, he had another inning of 101. Scoring honors for the match thus far are his, though he has not approached the lead at any stage. His high run of 142 the first evening still stands. Hoppe has cracked the century mark but twice with 109 in the first block and 123 last night. SWIMMING RECORD LONDON.
