WALTER MARRIOTT TO HEAD THE BENGALS Brian Timmis Was Elected Captain of Rugby Squad for Next Season. Hamilton, March 11.--Walter "Liz" Marriott, former star foot- ball player and coach, will be presi- dent of the football section of the Tiger Club for the year 1925. At the annual meeting held this week "Liz" was the unanimous choice for the chair and In taking over his new duties he laid stress on the fact that his one ambition was to win the Canadian championship next fall. Close to one hundred members at- tended the annual gathering and as- sisted in electing the following of- ficers: Honorary patrons, Judge Gauld, Mayor Jutten, James King, James Dixon, General Mewburn; hon. pre- sident, Rev. Archdeacon Renison; hon. vice-ppesidents, Don. Cameron, Dr. J. K. McGregor, Ur. F. B. Mow- bray; president, Walter Marriott; vice-president, John "Chick" McKel- vey; secretary, Douglas Chilman; treasurer, W. E. "Dug" Knapman; executive committee, William Tope, Allan Close, Roger Allan. It was the decision of the members that the team manager be elected by the executive and players instead of by the membership, and following the meeting John Dynes was elected to that position, being the unanim- ous choice. Brian Timmis was elect- ed captain of the 1925 team bdefore the meeting closed. That Tigers enjoyed a fine season financially was proven by the finane- ial report, presented .by Treasurer Knapman, which showed that Tigers finished the last football season with $9,688.78 over and above expenses. Of this amount $4,757.42 was spent on permanent improvements at the grounds, and $4,700 was handed over to the H.A.A.A. governors, which is the usual procedure each year. This left a balance to start the coming season of $231.36. Argonauts proved tne best draw- ing card at the H.A.A. field last sea- son, the gate receipts for that game amounting to $6,181.85, while Tig- ers' share of the Queen's gamé at Toronto amounted to $4,902.86. But the report also showed that it cost money to run a football club, for ac- cording to one item on the disburse- ment side of the report, it cost just $1,350.20 to feed the players after the practices at the H.A.A.A. field, while travelling and hotel expenses for the season amounted to well over $4,000, MANUSH HOLDS OUT. Will Not Be Allowed vo practise Un- til He Has Signed Contract. Augusta, Ga., March 11.--"Ty" Cobb and Heine Manush, the latter the only holdout on the Tiger squad, engaged in a verbal argument on the playing field here Monday which ter- minated with a ruling by the Detroit manager that Manush shall do no more practicing with the Detroit team until he has reached térms with the management and signed his 1925 contract. Manush arrived here Sunday night and Mpnday morning was out bright and early. When he appeared at the clubhouse Cobb was not to be seen, and Manush borrowed an old uni- form and started to do a little work. Later, when Cobb discovered that he had been "overlooked," he in- formed the holdout that it is against the rules for a player to practice with his team until he is signed to a contract. It may bé arranged for Mantsh to work out with the Toronto Club, also in training here, so he may get him- self into condition. If he does not get down to business soon, he will not be able to start the season with the Tigers, and probably would draw a suspension until he is it. Manush is a big fellow and took on consider- able weight over the winter, so he || will be compelled to do a good deal of conditioning to be ready in time. SPORTIN THE DAILY BRITISH W GENERAL REVIEWS Ne BOXING QOSSIP "Fighting" Bob Martin has an- nounced his intention of staging a "comeback." So has Kugene Criqui, Just alot of blah. It's about time they let Harry Wills have a crack at Dempsey. Harry has been waiting patiently for five years now. During that time he has met everyone the public asked him to meet and defeated them all. 80 now he deserves a chance at the title. - Whig boxing fans will re- member that several months ago. lI predicted that Jimmy Slattery, Buf. falo's latest fistic sensation, would soon become one of the most feared men in his class. Many fighters make the mistake of fighting too seldom, but Tommy Gibbons is not one of them. The brother of the famous 'Phantom Mike" fights regularly and thus keeps in superb condition. Lew Tendler's knockout at the hands of Jack Zivic has not caused the Philadelphia southpaw to re- tire, though- most sport critics thought he would. Instead, "Lefty Lew" is fighting harder than ever. He Is just twenty-seven years old and 1s still good for a couple of years of ring work. Charley Weinert, who gave Luis Firpo a pasting last summer, is go- ing great guns these days. The veteran has been boxing since 1913. Billy Gibson, Benny Leonard's manager until he retired, thinks that Young Stribling will become the next heavyweight champion of the world. Jim Corbett is writing some fine articles on boxing for the Saturday Evening Post. Some thirty-seven years ago, on March 10th, 1888, John L. Sullivan fought Charley Mitchell a 389-round draw at Chantilly, France. GIBBONS FAIREST OF ALL RING FIGHTERS Ready. And Willing To Deo Battle Any Time He Is Called Upon. New York, March 10.--Tom Gib- bons may have his claim to the suc- cession in the heavyweight cham- plonship disputed, but there can be no denial that he is the most willing fighter in the business. His willing- ness to do anything asked of him at ¥ FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN One of the most amusing little things in sport that has been brought to the attention of the writer in a long time has come from bowling. There is a girls' league which is known under a French name and all the names of the teams are French, but, strange to relate, about nine- tenths of the 'players on the teams are Irish. Wonder what the idea is ? | To-night is the night of the last hockey game in Kingston for the present season, as far as can be learned, unless the Junior county teams work in their final on Saturday afternoon. Those fans who want to see one more game of hockey before the rink closes and at the same time desire to help along in a worthy cause, should make sure to be on hand. Ken Trousdale is a hockey player who might just as well have been with the Kingston intermediates this season as not. It is too bad now that no one thought of bringing him in for the games. 'Trousdale stated that he would like to have played this season with the Kingston inter- mediates and at the county game Monday night stated that he would be pleased to play if he could make th making the grade. He is the nea © grade. There is no question about test skater and stick-handler in the County League and would make a valuable player for the Kingston inter- mediates next season. Now Sunbury and Battersea juniors are left to fight it out, and, should Sunbury win the title, there will be joy supreme in Sunbury. There will be no holding them with two championships stowed away. a time when champions and leading challengers refuse to take any kind of a chance, has given him a unique and a most favorable position in the profession. "It is a pleasure to do business with Tom Gibbons," Tex Rickard said recently. "He 1s always fair about purses, he never asks anything but an even break, and his word is better than _a contract. If every boxer was as much of a real sports- man as Gibbons, the game would never be in any danger." Gibbons had a slow, nard time de- veloping himself from a brother of the great Mike Gibbons to the out- standing challenger 1n the heavy- weight class and ome of the best drawing cards in the game. He made himself by having a "Yes, réady for anything fair. It has cost him money, but it has made him one of the most popular boxers that ever pulled on a glove. When he started his campaign for a return bout with Dempsey he said that he would meet anyone in the heavyweight class to prove his right for another chance at the title. He tried to get a bout with Jack Renault, the Canadian, who was throwing publicity cnallenges at Dempsey. "Before you fight Renault, you ought to lick Kid Norfolk," Leo Flynn, Renault's manager, said. Norfolk was the stand-off member of the Flynn stable. "All right," Gibbons safd, "make out the papers." | Flynn's bluff was called and he couldn't get out of it. Gibbons met Norfolk and knocked him off and Flynn lost one of the best bread-| winners in his string. Gibbons came to New York again with a challenge for Dempsey and he was asked: "Why don't you fight; Harry Wills?" "I will," Gibbons said. And Wills was caught in a tight place that he had no desire for. ' Gibbons tried to get a bout with Gene Tunney, the American light- heavyweight champion, and Tunney turned pale and founa a lot of ex- cuses. | He then announced that he could- n't make 175 pounds without trouble, and that he. was going to stay in the heavyweight class. Tun- | ney, relieved at hearing this, chal-' lenged Gibbons and said that he had been bluffing. | Gibbons replied: 'All right, we're ready," and Tunney went out on that golf course and hasn't been heard from since.
