FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 3.—
Straight into the teeth of the frigid
wind blowing through Texas Saturday
night, the Fort Worth baseball club
cast a warm challenge for champion-
ship honors in 1923 by announcing a
roster of twenty-nine players. Tacked
on the bulletin board was the eignifi-
cart statement, “there will bo two or
three additions to the club, prior to
the opening of the season."
$ The club as it lines up in this moth

of other states had to keep step as
best they could or get out of the game.
In many cases the promoters have
chosen the latter alternative. But with
Muldoon's ideas prevailing hero there
is certain to be general deflation
throughout the country.
The writer has held throughout that
a Dempsey-Wills tight was a bad pro-
ject. In many communities the rae
question is a slumbering issue and a
mixed battle would be an awakoning
influence not agreeable to contem-
plate. And assuming Wills should win
—tho writer does not believe there is
a great chance of this, but he might—
wall the country has had the experI-
ente of negro champions and does not
wish to repeat it. And in any event
the incidental publicity to such a bout
would bring pugilism acutely before the
general public in an unfavorable way.
As for Willard there is suspicion
that Jess was looking for advertising
rather than a fight. He has received
this now in full measure and can drift

that ho has rehabilitated himself as a
dr.awing card without the i rice of
marred feathers or broken libs.
If Luis Firpo beats Drennan ho will
loom big as a rival to Dempsey while
Hoyd Johnson can get alt sorts of ac-
-claim by stowing Tommy Gibbons
away. Thus, as far as material is
concerned, the heavyweight contend-
ers situation can do very well without
Willard and without Wills.
When the situation is thus indefinite
