WEST BIDS HEAVY
FOR TITLE MATCH
Spokane Offer Said to Be $780,.
600 Better Than Any
/. others ....'

NEW YORK, April 4.LTex Rick
ards dilemma over where to stage the
Dempsey-Carpentier battle was made
more complicated today.
j. l.. Eexsmith, a wealthy Spokane,
Wash, lumberman, is responsible.
Sexsmith, according to a report 60
ing the rounds, has offered Rickard
$4,000 above the best offer received
for the match. If he lands it. he
will stage it at or near Coeur d,,Alene,
Idaho.
With no less than a dozen tempt
ing offers from syndicates on two
continents, Rickard will make a final
decision during the present. week.
He has promised to name the site Of
the contest next Saturday.
New Jersey still stands out a favor
ite in the betting" to land the
match. According to Rickard, how
ever, several cities far removed from
the metropolitan district are still
very much in the running.
Those who claim to be in on the
know" say that the site of the bout
RIckard is merely waiting until the
time limit for naming it expires.
This opinion, however, is by no means
universal. A well posted fstic fol-
lower, who refused to be identified
said today that he expects to travel
all the way TO Montreal to witness
the big fight and is willing to wager
a round trip railroad ticket that the
Canadian city will get the contest
And so il goes.

Wednesday on a brief Southern trip,
but the only person who knows what

day OF the trip. The home season
will open a week later with Colgate.
Although Cornell will have a rela-
lively new team on the field, several
players of promise have been devel-
oped, and the Ithacans look for a good
season. There are indications that
they will be stronger in the box than
in several years, Rollo, one of last
years freshman pitchers, Is giving
indication of becoming a first-rate
man, while the work of Servera,
Schreiner and Maloney, thes latter of
last years varsity, is promising. Sib-
bert and Brown, both new men to Cor
nell baseball, seem to have the lead
for catcher. Capt. Clyde Mayer has
been shifted from first base to the
outfleld. Davies. a former outfielder
being favored for the initial sack.
Fritz Is doing well at second, Cowan,
last years shortstop, is sure of the
place, and Quis, of last years fresh
man team, is showing well at third.
Powers, Barker. Wooden and Kar-
peles are also right up in front among
the infielders. Besides Mayer, Eddie
Kaw, Munns and Fox look good for
outfielders.

YANKS IN SOUTH
Illness and Bad Weather Seem
To Be Lot of New
York's Entry.
BY JACK XEIOCK.

NEW YORK, April Are the
Yankees ever going to shake off tho
relentless jinx that has been trailing
them for so many seasons?
Is the brilliant Ruppert-Huston
aggregation OF 1921 doomed to disap-
pointment in it's quest of New York =
first American League pennant this
year?
Gotham fans were asking these
questions today after scanning news
from the Southland where the Yanks
and Dodgers are preparing to pull
up stakes and start northward.
UNDER SPELL OF HOODOO.
Ever since it first took the field
the New York American League club
has been under the spell of a hoodoo.
Season after season injuries or i'll
ness among the players and untimeIy
mistakes on the part of managers has
kept the Yanks down. Today the
worries OF Yankee fans may be sum =
med up as follows:
Manager Miller Huggins Is threat
ened with appendicitis.
Bob Shawkey. ace of the pitching
stan, is suffering with a stubborn
sore arm.
Bobbie Roth is on the hospital list
with injuries.
Babe Ruth is Handicapped with a
sprained and weakened wrist.
Aaron Ward is laid up with an in
jured leg.
IN NONE TOO GOOD SHAPE.
In addition the Yankees are in none
too fine condition. The weather at
Shreveport. especially durig the past
week, when Huggins had hoped to
see his men get the most out of their
last six days Of training. has been
raw and cold.
Figuring that the health of Man
ager Huggins is vital to the teams
best interests and that New York
may expect the hottest kind of COM
petition from Cleveland and perhaps
two other teams from the very start
of the season, there is reason for
gloom among Yank fans.
Bob Shawkey has always, hereto
fore. been a strong performer in the
spring and unless his arm gets well
he will be sorely missed.
Reports indicate. although Ruth
was in uniform at New Orleans today,
that his injured wrist will require
some time to mend properly and this
may seriously affect his hitting in
the early stages of the race. The
big Bambino is also finding 1t diff
ficult to get down to weight. He
Is still carrying excess poundage
after more than a month of hard
work.

PITTSBURGH UNCOVERS
fine ATHLETE IN HAYES

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 3.-Coach
Andrew Kdf of the Pitt track team
has discovered track find in the
person Of Hayes. recruit from
Tarentum (Ps.) High School. Hayes
did no running before he entered
Pitt year ago, but on twelve
lap track recently he did the two
mile in 1901 and the mile in 4:4O.
Kerr expects him to run the two
miles outdoors in 9:30 without any
effort. This is considerably lower
than the Pitt record for the dis
tance. Frank Shea, Wakefield and
Allen seem sure of berths on the re-
lay team in the Penn Relays. The
fourth position Is still in doubt.
