Of the buying movement in liberty bonds

foreign government issues were the fea-
lures of the bond market today The
advance in libertys ranged from 10 to
so cents on the hundred dollars. Vic
tory 4As were also higher.
In the foreign division, the French
municipals continued to be absorbed, un-
retired like the Paris IS. City of Lyons

Morgan firm had left Mexico City
without reaching an agreement with
the authorities there regarding the
handling of the external debt. 1t
was stated, however. in the same dis
ture in the negotiations. which are
still regarded as likely to have a
favorable termination.
Railway bonds were variable. with
series of small net changes both
ways. St. Paul IS of 1925 recovered
point. while the debenture As were
making new low around 63. Vir-
ginia Railway SIS rose a point and
Missouri, Kansas & Texas As, which
had reacted from around 81 to around

lures was the first important recovery

Right straight through every member of the team played stellar ball from the time Mayor FitzGerad threw 1t out to Se- leCtman Warner of Hamden who caught it and put it in play.

DEMPSEY HIRES HUGE NEGROES TO
 TAKE HIS BLOWS
Champion Starts Training for Big Bout at New Jersey
 Friend s Farm.

Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world, is at Freddie Welshs' health farm near Summit, N. J., resting up and building up for that rigorous course of training in which he will soon indulge to fit himself for the defense of his title against Georges Carpenter on the afternoon Ot July z
 Meanwhile, Denpsey's manager, Jack kearns, is assembling a pretcntious stable of big bruisers to serve as punch ing bags for the champion when he finally gets into heavy training Car pentier IS booked to sail for America on May I, and will immediately set up shop i'll camp on Long Island. Jack Curley has been commissioned to select the Frenchnan's training quarters Within fortnight, then, things should be hum1nlng III preparation for the great heavyweight encounter.
 Irrespective of his attitude on other occasions, Dempsey does not propose to draw the color line in training If he has his way all the formidable blacks will be given encouragement to meet him i'll the gym as often as their hearts de- sire. Kid Norfolk, Harry Wills and Jamaica Kid have all received fiatterIng offers from kearns to act as Dempsey s sparring partners. The best of the white heavyWeights will be welcome, too.
 These di1sky warriors are likely to receive a pretty penny for their services, as there will be competition between the rival camps. Joe Jeanette, 1t Is un- derstOOd, will have personal direction of the conditioning of the French chal- 1a,,uer o,,I ic +0 he oCCic+aJ i, 0r1- by Willie Lewis, who Is responsible for the development of Georges. It was Willie, while in Paris some years ago, who encouraged the French boy to take up the boxing game as a means of live lihoOd.
 Dcmpsey's plans are still somewhat vague, but he proposes to get back to the principles which were mainly re- sponsible for his signal victory over the mammoth Jess Willard. He is going to do all bis training out of doors, as he did in Toledo. On the occasion of his last battle-that with k. 0. Bill Bren- nan in Madison Square Garden-Denp- sey trained indoors. To that fact he at tributes his somewhat disappointing showing.
 It is said unofficially that the Demp- sey camp will put on the finishing touches at Atlantic City. Such move would reflect the business acmnen of Jack Kearns. Kearns earned a small fortune at Toledo before the fight by charging opera prices to the general public to see his man killer in action.

YALE AND PENN. PICKED TO BEAT
 FRENCH RACERS
Foreign Sprinters to Have Tough Opponents at Big Games
 Tomorrow.

While there is no likelihood of new record being established in the two-1nie championship relay, which will feature the annual carnival of the University of Pennsylvania, tomorrow, 1t is fairly Cer- tain that the title will not make a jour ney across the ocean, as it did last year.
 There will be no Cambridge Oxford team to race our college stars into sub mission in world record time, and indi- cations are that no entry can hope to shatter, or even equal, the mark of 7 50 2-5 made by the Englishnen last April.
 The intercollegiate classic will not be without international interest, in spite of the absence of the British runners, for France has gathered five of its best university athletes and sent them on to take the measure of the best our col leges have developed. The visitors are a modest lot, They make no predictions as to where they will finish but it is to be assumed that they have not made the long trip exclusively for their health, and it would hardly be safe to under estimate their speed.
 Most of the entries have been an nOunCcd, but as many of the leading Contcnders have nominated men for two or more races until the scratches are made 1t Is difficult to get line on the favorite Yale, if Campbell runs anchor, would seem to have an edge on Penn sylvania, with Cornell and the French entry fighting for fourth and the French entry fighting for fifth place. The out come depends largely upon the decisions of the various coaches on Friday, the opening day, when these teams meet in the Onc-mile medley relay championship
 In the medley the chances of the for cign collegians are better. Captain Maurice Delvart, the 3OO-1neter worlds record holder, Is reported in fine cOndi- tion. Delvart was the star of the French team in the SWcden-FranCe- America meet, held in Pershing Stadium immediately following the Olympic games He finished second to Engdahl of Sweden, in the l0O-meter race, the winners time being 10 4-5. Goullioux was sixth in this race.
 Fiery and Dalvart were members of the French relay team which finished third in the 1,500-1neter relay the same day. The United States won ill 5 min second place Not one of the French men who will start at Franklin Field reached the finals at Antwerp.
 Charlie Paddock, the Olympic Cslan- pion and world record holder will not be in the 100-yard dash, which was won last year by Jackson Scholy, of the University of Missouri, but, neverthe- less the century will be one of the most interesting of the individual events Among others the field includes Wood- ring of Syracuse, the Olympic 200- meter title holder; Gourdin of Harvard who was Clocked several days ago in 9 4-5. and Ed Farrell, Brooklyn Col .leec. The race will by no means be between this trio, for the West will have a strong team of sprinters on hand.
 Richmond Landon, Yale, the Olympic champion and world record-holder, should find the running high jump a mere workout. Murphy. of Notre Dame js second choice

Boxing Baseball Track
The World of Sport
 By BARRY O'DON

Ed Stranglcr Lewis isn't going to have an evenings outing when he meets Stan Zbyszko in finish match at New York in the near future. Lewis had better prepare for the battle of his life, for the big Pole is going to beat him. At least that is the belief of Jack Herman, man. ager of Stan Zbyszko.
 Walter Johnson has just started his 18th season in baseball Think of it, 15 years under the big tent, and still pitch ing as good ball as ever. Yet when everything is considered 1t is not out of the ordinary. Frank Kramer has been in the bike racing game for more than 20 years Jack BrittOn has been boxing over l7 years. So why shouldn't John son be able to spin 'em over just as these other stars in the other branches of sport?
 Frankie Young Britt is once more ir demand since he put the kibosh on Jim my Frizttti down in New Bedford the other night, and now the little New Bed ford Wha1er is after bigger things in the fight game. Frankie wants, i'll par ticuar a battle with Rocky Kansas. He already has beaten Kansas on different occasions and believes that he can again.

Babe Ruth Has Rival
 in Home Run Sphere
George Kelly of the Giants Loom ing Up as Probable Contender for Swatting Honors.

New York, April 29.-The home run industry Jagged a trifle this week and the furious duel going on in an inter neCine way, SO to Speak-be1ng from the same Manhattan community-sub- sided ma measure.
 George Kelly of the Giants, whose home run rampage has tied with Babe Ruth at four each, also has hurled the retiring Californian into the limelight. Being that he puts out as many men at first as the next Kelly is retiring both on the field and off, and nobody objects to his predilections in that direction on the field. Curious chap, Kelly, he chat ters all the time on the field, but other times he goes strictly into the siences.
 His first home run this year was off Betts, a right-hander, in Philadelphia, and went over the right field wall. His next was into the center field bleachers in Philly, was made off Meadows and was the longest of the season. Next he knocked a ball over the left field fence off Hubbell of the Philies at the Polo Grounds, and subsequently rasped Causey of the Phillies for a homer into the left field perch at the Polo Grounds. Evidently Kelly likes the scrapple style of pitching.
 Kelly isn't a terrific sWinger like Ruth, and does not get everything into it like Ruth. whose style, whether hit ting or missing, is ininitable. Nor is he an arm hitter like Meusel. Hes more of a wrist hitter, and wrist and timing will crash a lot of power against a baseball. Ruth combines wrist, body punches them all. Yet Kelly is an ex- ceptionally long hitter, and with Ruth and Meusel one of the longest the game ever has known He hits to right and left field, and John McGraw says that with the increased confidence and ex- perience of this year he will be a bet ter hitter than ever before.
 You hear a good deal these days about the lively ball and how it has made harder driven base hits. No one seems to know what. if any, effect the present constructio nof the ball has to do with its velocity in leaving the bat of the slugger, but all believe Ruth the hardest hitter of all time.
 But don't think there weren't batters in the days when the ball was not sup posed to be particularly lively who couldn't drive it almighty far Cy Sey- mour, Ed Delehanty, Larry Lajoie, Buck Freeman, Sam Crawford, Dave Orr, Frank Shulte, Mike Herman, Fred Merkle, Dave Robertson, and Roger Connor often hit the ball into the next county whether its insides were lead. cork, rubber or putty. It isn't the ball but the man hitting it that has most 10 do with the busting slams to the fences and stands. The lively ball is but an incident There were batters who could kill the old ball and there are more batters who can't do much to the new one.

ter is weak on d low, curve, that is all he will get from Bagby. If the same batter should get a hit off low curve, it does not make any difference to Bagby, nor does he change his tactics. He knows in the long run by pitching low curves to this batter the percent age is all in his favor, and that Is all he will pitch. Nothing will swerve him from his course.
 'They'I get lot of hits off Bagby but he wins because he is pitching percentage baseball-pitching to the weak points of each hitter and not the strong points. He has perfect control of what stuff he does command and can put it any place he wants to.

Who would you name as one of the smarteSt pitchers ever in baseball? |? Right offhand you would say Christy MatheWson, would you not? Ill the opinion of Ty Cobb, Jim Bagby of the worlds champion Indians is entitled to the honor. This is what Ty has to say about the Cleveland tiinger, who won 31 games last year:
 "Bagby is the smartest pitcher I ever faced, and I'll tell you why. He hasn't a very good fast ball nor a very good curve. He has a pretty good slow ball, with almost perfect control. Bagby knows he hasn't enough natural ability to fool batters, so he makes a study of them He knows the strong and weak points of every batter who faces him, and he pitches to their weak points.

 Shea was the most successful pitcher in games won and lost on the Toronto club last year. In his workouts with the Giants at San Antonio he dis played a world of speed but seemed sadly lacking in control. Pat confessed that he was afflicted with sore arm and just could not get going. He visited Bonesetter Reese a few days ago and was assured by this expert that his arm would come around all right in due time.
