gi ven t hat they wi ll .see a boxer who I K ing
Li classed among the real f ighters of j Whittaker
today.
Thorp is of the type who f ights
because hu likes it. In his bout here
it" the questi on, it was! wi t h Sailor l> ' nedman, the latter
r coi i i i nui ni ; a part of I would go into a shell and simply
stay on tho def ense. In disgust
Thorp deliberately kicked him anil
tlTon i nvi ted him to start a li ttle real
action. F riedman is supposed to be
some "shucks" as a glove wielder
himself but he didn' t seem to relish
Thorp' s game.
Harvey has met nearly every top
notchor of his division. He started
at the bottom of the heap .and kept
advancing unt i l be f orced his way to
a match wi t h f ' .enny Leonard. In
this bout Thorp distinguished him
s i l t by Cighum," tho wonderf ul Ben
nah to a standsti ll f or several rounds
and whi l e he lost in tho twelf th
rounrl. hf won the admiration of the
hox;n: -r f ans t hroughout the country
by his b r i l l i ant showing. He later
held Leonard even in a ten round

As g"od as Thorp is, he will have
his hands f u l l when he tackles
StcMi hnnT. F riday night. While his
r"ooi\ l is ri ot a.s impressive as
Thorp' s. "Hum" has met and def eat-
ed some of t l i -
1
most hardy men in
Ihe gnmc. Stouhmer has always been
cTpdi tc' d wi th havi ng tho abi li ty to
make a wonderf ul ringman btit he
never took th" gamn seriously. How-
ever, he is rcj iorted to have trained
f ai t hf ul l y f or this contest and is said
to be in the host condition of his lif e.
Among his f ollowers in this city,
and they are many, the assurance of
his splendid f orm is all that is de-
sired. When in the army, Steuhmer
kept himself in good shape and as
a consequence he was Just about un-
beatable. In several of his service
matches he polished of f opponents
with a single punch f rom his wicked
lef t hand. Weight made little dif f er-
ence to him, he was willing to swap
punches with middle or light heavy-
weights as well as taking care of any
aspiring welters. Af ter his discharge
f rom the army he f ell back into his
old habits. However, several months
ago ho had a sudden awakening and
since that time he has kept himself
in f ighting trim. He has been doing
his training in Chicago and has been
working out with Bat Levinsky and
Tommy Gibbons. He is bubbling
over with conf idence and says Thorp
wi ll go the same route that Eddie
O ilmoro. Red Billings, Leo K elly and
others did.
Wi ll Swap Punches.
There is every reason to believe
that this bout will provide more real
action than any that has ./ recently
been staged here. Both principals
are
1
aggressive, slashing type of nil]-
lers and with each carrying a knock-
j out wallop, in either hand, they are
, tvnmd to got j arred and j olted now
antl then.
This will not be the only real f ight
i on tho bill. Roscos Hall and Phil
1
I.ongo are both reported to be in ex-
cellent shape and ready f or the gong.
. The eight round af f air between these
j two promising lightweights should
I be a thriller.

IO WA CITY, Dec. 7.As the mat-
ter now stands it Is quite pVobable
that Iowa and Ames will not meet
on tho gridiron next year. At least,
this f eeling prevaHs among athletic
authorities at Iowa City.
A letter was received at Iowa
City last week f rom Ames Jo the
ef f ect that probably no date but No-
vember 19 would be acceptable to
the State college f or the a.nnual
classic. A f ew days later a tele-
gram notif ied' the Hawkeye author-
ities' that the game would have to
be played November 19 or not at
all.
At the recent meeting of the "Big
Ten" coaches both Iowa' s and
Northwestern' s schedules shaped up
so that November 19 was the best
date f or their game. With the con-
f erence schedule coming in f or f irst
consideration it was decided to play
at Evanston on this date.
O ctober 22 is an open date f or the
Hawkeyes and it was of f ered to the
Cyclones. However, Ames baa
scheduled K ansas f or this date and j
if it was to meet Iowa it would be
necessary to rearrange the schedule
and it is doubtf ul if this task will
be undertaken.
While in all likelihood the State
university and State college will not
meet on the gridiron in 1921, it
thought, this will have no bearing | brln^-in"
on their meeting in other sports. $"C4 l)O o'
Supreme Court
Reverses Base-
Ball Judgment
WASHINGTON. D. C.. Dec. T.
The District Court of Appeals today
reversed the recent judgment for
|X'64,(100 granted by the District
Supreme court against the major
baseball leagues, and in favor of the
-Baltimore federal league club, Which
claimed a violation of the anti-trust
laws by the use of the "reserve
clause" In the players' contests.
The Appellate court held that play-
ing baseball did not constitute Inter-
state commerce, as defined by United
States Supreme court decisions, and
that the anti-trust law did not apply.
The "reserve clause" imposed restric-
tions, the court held, which,related
directly to the conservation "of tho
personnel of the clubs and did Wot
affect the movements of the Federal
league clubs. Any ill effect was
merely accidental, the court found.
May <7o to Supreme Court.
Counsel f or the Baltimore club an-
nounced that, an attempt would be
made to carry the case to the Su-
prome court f or review.
A verdict f or JSO .O O O was awarded
by the j ury when the f ormer F eder-
al league club' s contention was up-
held In the lower court. As provided
by the anti-trust laws, the amount of
the j udgment was tripled and an at-
ls
