PROMOTERS ID REAP HARVEST More Than $27O,OOO Worth of Seats to Big Scrap

Toledo, May 22.-Seat reservations for the heavy weig-.t championship battle between Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey here July 4 already have ex- ceeded $270.000, Tex Rickard. promo ter of the contest, announced tonight upon his return from New York The Johnson battle, staged by Rickard ct Reno, drew only few hundred dollars more than that figure. Rickard said. With the contest still seven weeks away Rickard was unwilling to hazard a guess at the total receipts, but he said that if the seat reservations con tinued in such unexpected numbers, the battle would draw considera bl e | over s500,000 Rickard received one check today for s11, 900 from officials of
 an automobile company, who purchased tickets for their agents.
 Dempsey did his first boxing today, stepping two rounds with Willie Doyle, a light weight. The workout was in the nature of frolic for the chal- lenger. He also took a swim in the icy waters of Maumee bay and was the only man in camp who had the nerve to brave the cold plunge. Earlier in the day ne LOOK S1x-m1ie hike On the roads and later played a game of handball.
 Representatives of Willard are sc- riously considering leasing the Casino. | clubhouse few hundred yards from pempsey's quarters, and Dempsey said he would. have no objection if the cfompion moved next door to him to do his conditioning
 If Willard trains there, chances are we'll met on the road some morning, and I'll certainly stop and chat with him." Dempsey said.

New York, May 22.-Over n sloppy track on which drizzIing rain fell all the afternoon, G. ID. Widener's 4 year-oId chestnut geIding Lanius, by Llangibby Southern. Bell. won. the metropolitan handicap at one mile at Belmont park today. This event was the feature of the West Chester Racing association opening day of the season.
 Lanius was an outsider in the bet ting, the favorite being J. E. Widener's s Naturalist, which romped in an easy winner of a six-furlong high weight handicap at the Jamaica course yester- day, but the public choice finished only in fifth place in today's contest.
 There were seven starters, two of which, Papp and Flaggs, acted badly before the bunch was sent off to, a good start The light weighted Rout- ledge was first to shoot in front when the barrier was sprung. with Natural ist almost on even terms and Flags close up on the inside Nearing the first turn Routtedge dropped back and Flags took the lead from Naturalist as they turned out of the back stretch.

 The Southern league has nothing to do with a contract with a bench man ager. The document is entirely apart from the league rules and not subject to its regulations. If the Chattanooga club wants to pay bench manager s5o,0o0 year its entirely outside the province of the league to say a word.

Seven straight for the mighty Baronsl Look out, Pelicans. we'll overtake you yet.
 Moley crossed us up on his pitchers yes terday. The Baron pilot had intended to use Crews and Slap, but the weather was bad and he thought his youngsters would go better Cy Barger told us that he wouldn't last three innings on day like yesterday. Veterans must have lots of sunshine to be right.
 Sam Crews will probably hurl today and Slap will very likely be saved to open against Little Rock on Saturday. Barger was undecided about his pitch ing selection last night, but the dope points to Roy Fentress as the Memphis hurler in today's game.
 The Chicks are the unluckiest birds, in the world Lewis injury yesterday brings their hospital list up to about six and seriously crpples the team. All the breaks went against the visitors in both ends of the twin bill and especially in the second battle. where Tiny Good. bred really deserved a shut-out
 Peters got hit in each game, but the big fellow was mighty lucky to get that second one. Ills STOunuer to IlTSt was of the dinky kind, but Slattery failed to touch it and it went for single. The Barons are incomparable on de- fensive work. Duncan, Bernsen, Steven son and Mcdonald all contributed pretty plays yesterday Mcdonald robbed Bar ger and Goodbred of hits and Stevenson converted hard drives by -Canavan and Christenberry into outs. Duncan cut down Walsh's drive when it looked good for four bags.
 We know of 50 people who go to ball games every day jnst to see big Peters catch. The giant receiver has won a warm spot in the hearts of local fans and fannettes, too. for that matter.

 For the first time this season the Barons failed to show much swatting ability yesterday Have to hand it to -Ctanavan and Goodbred They both pitched good ball What could be a worse fate, anyhow, than being a pitcher on the Memphis club.

STECHER GAINS TWO
 FALLSOVER ROGERS
The "Black Babies" Treat the Crowd to Some
 Great Sport

Last night at the Birming- ham Athletic club, Joe Stecher, technical holder of the worlds s wrestling championship, met and defeated Joe Rogers in two straight falls. The time for tha first fall was 32 minutes, and the second II minutes.
 From the start Rogers seemed to be trying to weaken Joe's leg. He ap- piled many toe holds, but Stecner wormed out of all of them easily. When Stecher would try to apply a pair of shears to Rogers. Jack would grab Joes leg and then Stecher would have to crawl out He was well enough sc- quainted with that. toe hold of Rogers. What impressed the audience moro than any one thing was the remark able way in which Joe was able to use his trunks. In fact, he seemed more apt with his lower limbs than with his arms. Many times he applied holds with his legs that seemed impos-
 
 use of many other holds besides the scissors. After much hard work was exhibited Joe finally applied a combi- nation body hold and scissors, and forced Rogers shoulders to the mat.
 After a period of rest the men ap- peared again. This time it took Joe only Il minutes to apply body hold and armlocE and throw Rogers, thus winning the match

 We doubt if the league president can get away with the new ruling. A gent has right to wear any old sort of clothes If he wants to.
