Tlin (ieddess of( Fortune bus been kind te Frank
Mernn. This swashbuckling heavyweight, who at his
best is only an erdinnr) iighter, has stepped into mere soft
pets than all the ethers in his profession.
Last week he knocked out Jee IJecKett in Londen and
Made such an impression that the Ktigllsh are trying te
arrange a match with Carpcnticr. Frank new is in a
position te make lets of money and the blonde I'ltts
kurgher nil! overlook no bets He leis te be placed en
xhlbitien and offers no resistance when being lionized.
Meran hns had a vuricd career Several jears age he
was working under Dan McKetriek s management and
took a trip te Furepe. He was n second -rute battler at
the time, but a rough and rugged fighter. McKetriek
thought be could arrange a few matches with the perk and
bean heavyweights and make enough te pay expenses.
Joe .Ti-anette also was in the McKetriek stable and Danny
was anxious te have his man meet .Jack Jehnsen for the.
heavy weight championship.
However, Jehnsen refused te have un thing te de with
Jrannctte, but consented te n match with Meran. This
was geed news te Francis Charles, and he. acted Im
mediately. Instead of training for the bout he rushed
back te America nnd joined u theatrical troupe, where he
was billed as the challenger for the championship. He
remained here for a few weeks and then he crossed the
briny.
When he left France Meran was just an ordinary
heavyweight fighter When he returned he hud man) new
suits of clothes, carried a cane and had a valet.
Jehnsen and Meran boxed a twenty-round draw, but

Landis Must Decide This One
NOW that Judge Kcncaw Mountain 1. mulls has dis
covered his power and holds the title of Commis
sioner of llascball, his troubles arc about te begin. HP
will have te decide many disputes in regard te owner
ship of pla)crs and this is net a sweet job. There arc
always two sides te the disputes and the losers usually
believe they received the worst of it. Harney Dre)fuss
still is howling about the less of (ieerge Kislcr and Charley
Cemlskey is positive he vvns bamboozled out of Jack
Quinn.
Commissioner I. audit probably will have for his first
ruse a scrap between Clark Griffith, of Washington, and
IJarne.v Drefuss, of Fittsburgh, regarding the owner
ship of Fdmund (King) Miller, known as the Ilabe Ituth
of the Southern Association. Miller's name appears en
the reserve list of both clubs.
Miller played with Little Heck and was sold te Wash
ington for i ash nnd a few pla)crs. It Is said that Griff
bent some damaged, spavined athletes te Little Heck and
this caused Heb Allen, president of the club, te sell his
star player again, this time te Fittsburgh. That's the
dope en the case. All Landis has te de Is decide It.
This future Washington or Pittsburgh star busted
nineteen home runs last year, establishing u new league
lecerd. On three different occasions he socked two round
tilps in n game and made such n hit that the Little Heck
fan took up a collection one day and presented him with
$7S. That showed his work was appreciated.
Miller once bchmgid te Detroit, but never Insted long
ejieugh te see the Ferd city. He has a brother Halph,
who was given a trial by the Yankees last spring, but was
shipped back te the miners. Halph is a left-handed
pitcher.
TtO.VL'-HUA' kings in the Seuth have a halnt of
mal.int geed in the large show. Date Robert Robert
eon, Baby Dell Jneobsen, Vrtd Themas and Jee
Harris were noted fence busters in Dixie, l'crhapi
Miller will have as much success.
One Way te Be Successful
THH best way te have a successful football season is te
drop all of the hard games from the schedule and play
the easy ones. Thus n let of victories will be wen ever
weak, second-class colleges und ever) body can point with
pride te the brilliant record In ether words, the spirit
of competition is being shoved in the background, se the
teams can win nt any cost. Victory ilrst then the game.

New Yerk -c. 14. The stage Is
all set for the heavyweight title com
but tonight in Madisen Square Onrdcn,
and all that remains is for the gladia
tors te den the gloves and answer the
clang of the gong.
A peculiar situation exists regarding
the referee and Judges of the bout, who
are te give the decision. These will
net be named until 7 o'clock this cvo cve
ning. They have been apneinted, but
the promoter does net want their Iden

Except for some warming-up exer

ceinp'cted their -work. They have been
trnlnlng for ever five weeks for this
contest and both express the usual con
fidence. Dempscy In his finnl training Im
pressed nil with his wonderful condi

better condition for this contest than
he has ever been In his entire ring
career.
There is much speculation nn te hew

11. C Last Call The best beck
c saw this last season was Geerge
Glpp, of Notre Dame. The best line
man was Stan Keck, of Princeton. The
best punter was Schecrer, of Princeton.
WHICH also makes one wonder, even
this far along, why the season
produced se few geed punters. Just
why this valuable offensive nnd de
fensive device should be tossed into the
discard Is another of the amazing mys
teries which crowd the marts of sport
ing life.
The World as It Is ,
ONE man dies in the ring, one out of
many hundreds, and thousands
clamor for the suppression of boxing.
Ten million arc killed In one war, and
many of the same thousands laugh nt
the idea of stepping war.
Twelve people were killed at football
this fall. Hut football In turn has built
up the health of many thousands.
As we recall the Shakespearean ver
sion : "Each man ewes Ged a death."
And we have n hazy idea that sooner
or later each man Is going te pay this
debt, If he never pays another.
A Matter of Geography
".TS VIRGINIA In the Seuth?" nsks
a reader. "If se, any judge that
falls te nut Jimmy I.ench, of V. M. I.,
en an nil-southern eleven Is worse than
crazy. Leach wns a better football
player than Flowers, of Georgia Tech,
or McMillan, of Centre. He was easily
the greatest back In the Seuth, unsur
passed anywhere. He could kick, pass,
crash through n line or circle nn end.
In the nine games he played he scored
210 points, including twenty-six touch
downs. He carried the ball for 172.'!
yards and hurled forward passes for 41H
yards. He made seven runs from fifty
te eighty-five vards, several against
Pennsylvania. He Is one of the greatest
broken field runners the country hns
ever seen.
