NEW YORK, Jan. 8-8111 O'Brien, sports prcmoier, an- nounced tonight he had cabled an offer to Helen Jacobs, United States tennis champion, to turn professional which, "I know she will accept."

O'Brien declared his offer, cab- led to Miss Jacobs who now is in England. called for the women's title-holder to receive $20,000 for a professional tour beginning March 20 in Madison Square Gar- den and lasting through June.

O'Brien said the. two weeks ago he had offered Miss Jacobs 815,- 000 and that she had cabled from London that she wanted more money. .

"I cabled her early today,’ O'Brien srfd, "that I would give her $20,000. I know that that l: what she- wanted and I know that she will accept. I mailed a cmtraci at those figures to her." _

At the same time, the promote! declared that lvirs- Fearnley Whit- tlngstall, the former Eileen Ben- nett of Emgland, definitely had ac- cepted an offer of ‘$10,000 to turn professional, and indicated that Fred Perry, of England, generally ratcd the world's leading singles player, would sign a contract as soon as he returns to the United States from Australia.

Fantastic Proposal

(B! Edward I. Nell Associated Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK, Jan. 8-H“ Boss-

‘miaht Just as well disabusc himself

firht now M the idea that he's g0- lns to feature the 1w: light pig- ture with an attempt to knock out two legitimate heavyweight title challengers in one night.

James J- Johnston of Madison Square Garden, tbs organization that holds the contract‘ under which Bur will fight someone in June. actually shudders at the lhousht of such a colossal waste of the prize ring's natural rs- sources.

"Christmas." shouts Jimmy. “It takes a whole year to build up one challenger. And he wants to take two of them-Steve Hamas and Art Leaky-the same night on the same card for the price of one ad- Inl-wlcn. Well. he won't do it."

Bo that. apparently, brings to a sudden ending one of the most. YARN-PUB Dmsllccts of a new year in which the boxing picture is likely to tum out just a. reprint oi’ the 1934 panorama, with slight backgmund changes. .

One heavyweight challenger will be culled from the list of I-lamas, Lasky, Max Sohmeling and Primo mifllflffl. with an even chance that the Italic-n Mastiff will again draw the Garden Bowl invitation to take another first class lick- ing. Personally, Johndori favors LBSKYB chances, and he even thinks he might lick Baer ~

"Why, that Baeri" he fumes "He knocked out Leyinisky in two rounds. He had lobe lucky to do that after fighting him 30 previous rounds and never getting him o.‘ his feet. If Beer's such a terrific puncher, why did Camera get‘ up 11 timesf, Why did Corners. finish on his feet?"

SIXTYENTRIES FUR BRAND NATIBNM

Only Two Former Win- ners To Compete In Turf Classic in March-

(C. P. Cable Bv Guardian‘! Special Wirfl)

LONDON, Jan. 3—A mixture of veterans well acquainted with the unique course and of newcomers to Aintree, including a strong French contingent, make up the entry list for the 97th Grand Na- tional Steeplechase, the greatest race of its kind in the world.

Sixty entries were named today for the blue riband of steeple- chasing, that will be decided over the four miles and B56 yards of the Grand National course on March 29. The number is l3 less than a. year ago and includes only two former winners—Miss Dorothy Piaget's Golden Miller, grand fencer who won a year ago, and William Parsonage's Forbra, win- ner in 1932.

The weights. all-important in the Grand National, will not be alloted until near the end of the

present month and today's entry list will gradually be whit-tied 110W“ to around 30 actual starters-

A number of those entered today are strange to Grand National en- try lists and are extremely doubt- ful starters.

_ HALIFAX, Jan. iL-Manager Jack Conn tonight defin- itely announced that Halifax Wolverines would not join Moncton, Saint John and Charlottetown in the new Com-

mercial Hockey League.

"We won't play commercial hockey,” he declared. ‘They knew rny stand on that two weeks ago.”

He was not prepared to say just how he would keep the Wolverines occupied until the Allan Cup playdowns. Plans for a European tour had fallen through.

The other three clubs of the for- mer Maritime Hockey League de- cided last night to organize a new circuit outside the Canadian Arn- ateur Hockey "Association, which had demanded a “clean up" in the provinces by the sea because of a large number of unsanctioned player transfers.

The clubs had been given the choice between commercial hockey and strictly amateur hockey look- ing toward Allap Cup play-and at the meeting in Moncton last night three of them chose com- mercial.

Conn said he previously had conferred with delegates from the other clubs and had understood from the Moncton Hawks they were willing to continue amateur play under jurisdiction of the MAJ-IA. if he could secure an- other team to round out a league.

He said he had left the meeting and negotiated with Truro Bear- cats and found them willing to en- ter the Prfllwsed new amateur cir- cult.

Meanwhile the other three clubs had met again in Moncton and formed a commercial league in the face of the M.A.H.A. “outlaw” edict.
