THE DAILY BRITISH | | "JIMMY" WILDE AVERS HE WHIPPED SHARKEY { Jimmy Wilde, although accepting { the verdict of the press in good spir- { it, has a complaint to make, and | wiches 20 be heard, Jimmy thinks { that public sentiment mfiuenced thé j decision in his bout at Milwauked | with Jack Sharkey, and he is so f tive of his victory tnat he doubts | very much whether Sharkey would | even be considered by English match- | makers for a trip overseas and a bout | in London. : | "I understand that all the decis- {ions have gone against me," said | Wilde, "but 1 am positive, nay cer- { tain, that had the bout been held in | England, I would have won easily, 1 did pot think there was any doubt | about it, even though 1 did not box {as good as usual. Let me ask you | a féw questions, | "Who landed the cleaner blows? | Who did all the foreing of the bout? Who wae it that did the clinching | and sought the clinches?" | To the first two, to be fair, it must | be stated says a correspondent, that { Wilde carried the brunt of the at- | j tack and landed by far the cleaner | | blows. To the last there can only be one answer, Sharkey it was who sought the clinches and : clinched | whenever he could bring his weight [to bear. Then Wilde continued: | *1 know I was not in the best of | condition for the battle. {80 I think I won, and won handily. | Sharkey's blows were mostly on my | elbows and around my head and | shoulders He crossed and Ehask o ut | never in danger and was never both~ { ered by his blows." mn, | AMERICAN COLLEGES |" FAVOR HOCKEY LEAGUE A New York despatch says: Lea- | gues for teams in college -athletics are not favored particularly by the authorities in the various institu- tions, Only in a few of the minor | sports are they allowed, or are they | possible. Nevertheless, nothing else would boost the most excellent game of hockey in the colleges to the height which it deserves like @& re- vival of the old league. Hockey is played mostly by the New England colleges, but it 15 rapidly growing in favor among others. A league of coHege hockey teams would heighten the interest and competition in this spott. Prospects for an exceptionally big year in collegiate hockey are partic- ularly bright this winter. Many colleges are taking up the game for the first time, while others sre re- suming where they left off when the call to arms was sounded. As in football, many former hockey stars will be back and will try for places on the Varsity teams, TOMMY SMITH SEEKS JOB He Was Once 'the N. H. League's t Scorer. Old Tommy Smith is on deck again... He is looking for a job in the National Hockey League. How the mighty have fallen re- marks the Montreal Herald. A few years ago, Smith was the best sharpshooter on the circuit. While with the Quebec team, the last mem- family twice led the league in scor- own salary then with any team in the league. : " Smith's last engagement was with Canadiens in 1916-17. He made his exit in a blaze of glory, for in the final saw-off match of that season, at Ottawa, he shared a loose puck and popped in the counter that gave Canadiens the title and made It pos- sible for them to go west. On the | western trip. Smith and Manager { Kennedy didn't get along at all. { "You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me," said Smith one day after which Kennedy replied: "We would- n't be here if it wasn't for Vezina. He stopped ten for every one you scored." Smith was out of hockey last year, apparently having decided to retire. but now he hag written to the Que- bec Club to say that if he is wanted, there is no other team in the circult he would rather play with, but that But OYen | oon from the other an even number ber of Ottawa's great athletic Smith | ing.

The only damage the belligerent {three club owners can do in the next Miller | baseball campaign, Attorney 4said, Is to refuse to open their parks {and enter teams in the race. This action, he said, is not anticipated. { "The American League will con- {tinue to function in the interest of i ¢lean sport," Attorney Miller said, 1 "in spite of all efforts to hamper { President Johnson in the perform- ance of'his executive duties. "After the three dissenting club owners have had time to cool off, another meeting will be held in legal form, and whatever business is neces- sary to conduet the coming baseball season will be . transacted. That meeting will be called by the Pre- sident, and the time and place wil ibe designated by him." Why They Were Angry. They will have their joke at the poor wrestlers, A New York paper says: Zbystko and Stecher were re- ported as very antagonistic before i lagt night's match. The antagonism arose over the faet that each had {of falls in their last hall dozen matches, and they couldn't decide an whose turn it was to win. What add- ed materially to their antagonism was the additional fact that they were wrestling for the "champion- ship of the world"--which belonged to a third party. That made 'em madder, of eourse. French Star Coming. Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, the mar- vellous girl tennis champion of championship of the world, is going to visit America next year. It is pos- sible that she will play in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, according to the plans mapped out for her tour. Mile. Lenglen is said to be the most remarkable 'tennis player that ever stood on the famous Wimbledon courts in England. Exciting Hockey Expected. Cobourg Hockey Club will enter | {an intermediate team in the O. H. A. this season. Considerable material {is available, and the boys are getting down .to hard practice.

Canadiens come here on De- cember 31st, one day later than the schedule calls for. Alf. Skinner and Harry Meeking, late members qf the Toronte pro. team, left for the coast last night, where they will play hockey this winter... Skinner will be with Van- couver and Meeking with Seattle. Joe Malone, of the Quebec team, left for the ancient city on Saturday night. This removes' any doubt as to where the famous sharpshooter is going to play thishwinter. The St. Patrick's would have liked to securs him, According to Geo. Kennedy of the Canadiens, Howard McNamara has {gned to play for the Montreal team this winter. Eddie Carpenter, who 'ormerly played for Toronto and Seattle, has sent in his contract, alsc Didler Pitre is onte more on the job. Bert Corbeau has not .been 'signed yet. Corbett Denneny is not going to the P,C.H.A. this winter.
