Next Friday afternoon in the Cen
trail Stadium the crack record-h6lding
relay team Of the Baltimore Poly
technic Institute, of Baltimore, will
BE seen in action against the relay
teams representing Technical and
Western High Schools, Of this city.
Coach Anderson, OF the Poly team,
has written over asking to compete
against the Washington schooIboy re-
lay teams that are going to Phila-
delphia for the relay carnival on
April 20. The Baltimore Poly runners
have been unbeaten over a stretch or
two years. @
They won last year at the Meadow
brook games, defeating Mercersburg
in record time. They also won last
year at Madison Square Garden, New
York: at Newark, at Philadelphia, and
at the 4. 4. L. title games. This win
ter in Baltimore they defeated the
Harrisburg High team in a special
race.
Neither Western nor Tech are in
the same class with the Baltimore
lads, but will point up for the tryout
race. In addition TO the feature event,
the Tech and Western second relay
teams will run.
Four additional class relays from
Western and Tech will compete in
the miniature carnival. The events
are in the nature of tryouts for the

Promoter Tex Rickard is speeding

and select a referee. No doubt the
news from Albany which is decidedly
optimistic for boxing, Influenced Rick
ards statement yesterday that the
fight will be held east of the Missis-
sippi river. This information was the
first intimation RickaTd has given re
garding which half OF the country he
favored. and now that he has spoken
the cities in the running for the big
bout have been narrowed down TO q
select few.
Ike Dorgsn. Richards business
agent here. said today that handsome
offers have been received from Akron
and Columbus. Ohio, Philadelphia, Pa.
and New Haven, Conn. These offers
according to DOrgan, leave Rickard
the leeway OF selling the bout out
right or promoting it himself, but
Tex means TO stage the champion
ship and will scarcely consider selling
out
