act site in Jersey City where Jack
Dempsey and Georges Carpenter will

championship on July next. The
big promoter is busily engaged Just
now matching his wits against CO.

B. r. and sneaks through the va
rious sections of the Jersey village
with the fear that they will grab
everything he has.
Jersey City, of course. will house
the big struggle but as to the exact
location. Tex himself is up in the
air. However, best bet is that Mont
gomery Park will get the call and
in that event Tex will leave the rest
OF the real estate sharks high and
dry Rickard explained today that
he had three or four sites under con-
sideration but was unable to an
nounce which one he would select,
until he bad Strengthened out some
legal details and had met the own
ers on reasonable terms, IL such a
thing can be accomplished over in
that burg at this stage of the pro-
ceedings.
Rickard received cablegram
from Francois Descamps. manager

League. bids fair to-live up to the
expectations of President Griffith.
He is a fair hitter, but. better than
that, is a capable and wise per-
former around the short field.
Whereas he looked uncertain on
certain kinds of ground balls dur
ling the training season, he Is warm
ing to his task and fielding with
much precision. In Sundays game
he committed a couple of errors,
but that will happen to the best of
them. In addition "Blackie" is
whipping them across well, despite
his awkward motion. As long as
he gets them there it doesn't matter
how he does it, and the fact remains
that he is not losing anybody at
first.
Foss Waiting for Chance,
Shanks is playing with his usual
pep at third. Whether his assign
ment to that berth is permanent
remains to be seen, but it is safe
to assume that young Deeby Foss
will eventually get-a chance to show
his wares before the local fans. He
is a mighty promising kid in all re-
spects, and has the earmarks of a
slashing hitter.
Bing Miller seems to have the
first call in the outfield II anything
goes wrong with the veterans Milan
and Lewis, and, judging from his
pinch hitting performances, will
handle the job in fine style. He is
an accomplished outfielder, with
plenty of experience.
Another new face may be showed
into the lineup in Tony Brottem,
who came from Little Rock with
Miller. This rangy youth is a snappy
receiver. and carries some gray
matter above his ears. He has
shown enough to give Manager Nc
Bride confidence in his ability to de-
port himself well in fast company.
But with Val Picinich out there
fighting and hustpng every day,
Tony seems destined to remain the
third-string man. Val Is making
his critics of last year sit up and
take notice. Everybody Is boosting
for him this season.
Weather permitting, the Griffs will
take the field againts the Macks
again this afternoon, and Lefty
Zachary may get a chance to show
his stun.

no nation in ;he past to have such
an array of talent as Uncle Sam can
show for the spring and summer of

to have the finest talent available at
the biggest moment that he has ever
known.
Never before at any primrose spot
in his history has he had so many

Affairs do not always break as

tennis-sn Evans, a Ouimet and a
Travers for golf-yet we were blis-

But both our golfers and our ten

the polo situation swings in shev-

1t is just as well that We nap

Great Britain has a Cecil Leitch.

So. with all our exceptional talent

to beat Mile. Lenglen?

enough to ride down the British

Dempsey is favored over carpen-
