DEMPSEY QUITS BASEBALL
Challenger For WilIard's Crown will Take No Chances of Injuring His Hands-Rickard Orders Gloves.

Toledo, May 24-Jack Dempsey has. athletically speaking, been placed in a glass case.
 Because of the danger of injury to his hands he probably will drop base ball from his training program.
 The challenger engaged in a game yesterday, and Tex Rickard, prom oter of the contest, wore a worried look every time Dempsey raced to pick up 8 bounder or stabbed the air in field ing fly balls. Rickard fears that Dempsey might break a finger if struck by a swiftly batted ball.
 Dempsey already has stored his mo- tor car until after the match and is avoiding all other risks of injury. He has decided to wear a headgear when he begins boxing to protect his ears from damage by blows.
 Bill Tate, a giant negro heavyweight from New York joined the challeng- er's camp yesterday. He is feet , inches tall, just an inch shorter than Willard, weighs 236 pounds in ring togs and has a long reach.
 Dempsey was eager to step a few rounds with Tate, but Trainer De Forest objected. Instead the chol- lenger took a six mile hike on the road, Jogglng along Wltn late ana Terry Kellar, light heavyweight.
 Rickard yesterday ordered two sets of especially hand made boxing gloves for the championship battle from a San Francisco concern which has made gloves for many important championship contests for the last twenty-five years. The gloves will be of the regulation five ounce weight. Rickard ordered two sets so one could be thrown into the ring if eith - CT Dempsey or Willard split his first nair of gloves

CARDS HIT HARD
 BUT NOT TIMELY
Homers by Chase and Fletcher
 Gain Verdict for Giants

New York, May 24,-The St. Louis Cardinals dropped hits all around the Polo Grounds yesterday, but nine nicely placed Giant wallops did more execution than 15 knocks from the bats of the Missourians The Cards damaged a pair of Manhattan hurlers, but New York added another victory to it's collection. It was a, narrow squeak. with the Giants squeezing through by a score of : to 6.
 Eleven left on bases for the Cardi- nals against only one for the Giants tells most ably why the Giants are leading the National league process sion while the Cardinals are squab- bling with the Braves for possession of John Heydler's subcellar.
 The fan who likes to see the extra base drives rebound off the walls surely had his day yesterday. More extra base thumps flew around the Fabian lawn than in any previous local tilt of the year. Hal Chase and Art Fletcher clubbed homers into the left field bleachers, and Bert Shotton. appearing here for the first time in Cardinal livery, smashed homer against box in the upper right field stand But that was not all for Bert, The former Brownie was out on a batting spree and didn't care what he did. He also hit a triple, with two on, and a single The score:

EDDIE CICOTTE AGAIN
 BEATS THE YANKEES
New Workers Get Nine Bingles,
 Yet Fail to Score

Chicago, May 24.-shakespeares not shared by the Yankees, who yes- terday again were shut out by the White Sox, the score being 5 to O, as against 1 to 0 Thursday. Incl dentally the Yankees wasted nine hits yesterday, never showing an ab- sence of originality, as they did the self-same thing Thursday
 It would have been surprising had the Yankees won, for Edward Ci cotte, who has been a stum bling block to the Huggins tribe ever since he began to 1lurl against them, was on the mound for the So2. He may or may not pitch shine ball. but that is irnmaterial, for whatever the spe- cia1 style of his delivery may be the Yankees cannot hit it with winning frequency.
 History records the melancholy fact that Cicotte has beaten the Yankees nine out of ten starts, and the New Workers seem to be help less when he is on the mound. True, J. Franklin Baker and Roger T. Peckinpaugh hit Cicotte for seven of the nine blows delivered by the Yankees, but the stickwork of the other members of the visiting team was a negligible quantity.

It was a game that abounded in heavy hitting, sensational fielding and almost constant wrangling.
