 No sooner had they landed, With faces all agleam, Than they marched to the Casino To play the Squirrel team. Now there was Johnny Dixon, Their mighty lead-off man. He took his little beating, Just like a true sport can. And there was Billy Barnard, Who set out for a win,
 He threw 'em right, and threw 'en
 left,
 And all went down-but ten. And then came old Bill Massey. With face just like the sun; He threw the ball with all his might And the scorer cha1ked up-one.

 And his roll was a dollar shy. Oh! woe is mine they hollered When the second game was OCT: Two straight games they have
 trimmed us; Oh! please don't beat us more. And thus the slughter ended, When the Nuts were all we'll cracked. Oh! never again they cried in pain. They must have had them stacked.

BRITISH PROMOTER
 WANTS TITLE BOUT
RiCkard Announces an Offer of S76,OOO From George Mcdonald

New York. March 3.-An offer to hold the proposed worlds heavyweight championship bout between Jack Dempsey, titlcholder. and Georges Car pcrtier, Europe's premier heavyweight, , in England. vas received yesterday by Promoter Tex Rickard. who recently assumed sole responsibility for conduct ing tho important fistic extravaEanza. The offer was contained in a Marconi- gram from George Mcdonald, British promoter and manager of boxers, Me Donald submitted a proposition guar anteeing Rickard f1J0,OOO for the bout. to be held between June and II, at his Olympia. London. This sum is equivalent to approximately S5S1,OOO of exchange.
 McDonald's Marconigram follows:
 You could take in E1JO, 900 Olympia Carpenter Can insure for that amount. Also rights for pictures. Seating all ready. Date G to II of June. G. Mcdonald. Regent Palace Hotel, London
 Rlckard refused to commit himself positively on the proposition. He held the matter in abeyance. saying he would consider the offer along with an offer from Montreal stipulating $IOO,- GOO guarantee if the big pugilistic event Is taken across the border. This latter offer was submitted several weeks ago and was taken under consideration by Rickard. The promoter, in response to McDonald's Marconigram, immcdi- ately wired back as follows:
 Thanks for offer. Am not ready at present to consider any proposition. Will give definite answer by March 15.' While he refused to say so in as many words. nevertheless Richards attitude reflected little chance for a change in the plans for the battle under the original contract.
 This document, which retains it's es- sential features despite the withdrawal of Messrs. Brady and Cochran, stipulat- cd that the match be held in this coun- try, Canada, Mexico or Cuba. Rickard does not deny that he is eager to con duct the match on American soil, and Dempsey is eager. also, 10 defend his | title in America, where "he won it as an American, from an American and amid American surroundings. to quote the champions manager.
