AT least Tex Rickard. who. withs
Charles B. Cochran and William A.
Brady, bound themselves to provide not
only the half million in cash but bat
tieground as we'll, intends 30 get in
touch with Mr.. vidaver as quickly as
possible. And so does Jack Kearns,
manager OF Dempsey. The cabled atfi-
tude Of Mr.. Cochran, announcing he
was very much interested in this par
ticulsr fight, after 1t had been an
nounced he had withdrawn seems to
have the New York contingent very
much up In the air.
Kearns made it quite plain yesterday
that he and Dempsey would not toll
crate any possible attempt the Coch-
ran interests might make 60 "freeze"
Riekard.
To Stand by Rieksrd
"H Tex isn't in on the promotion
then there will be no fight" said Kearns
decidedly "Rickard stood by us when
we were down and we'll stand by him
We would sooner fight for Riekard than
for any one else; indeed we would
sooner gamble on percentage with him
than take guarantees from other
parties. We have given him our word
he could have the match, and unless he
asks US to release him from that word
Los Angeles yesterday was startled
by the sudden return of Dempsey. The
champion left Monday by auto for the
East, but was lured back by the repre-
sentativeS Of q motion picture con-
Germ.
1t is significant that Dempsey i'm
lnediately made arrangements for quay
ters where he could go into light train
ing while working in the movies. Also,
he engaged Tsrry Kellar. veteran heavy
weight, as sparring partner. Dempsey
said he had every reason TO EseEeve his
fight with Carpenter wauld be held
July 2, as planned.
O'Gatty Case In CexxSs
Packey O'Gatty and his manager,
Jimmy Twyford, are going to law with
the New York State Boxing Commits
sion. Luke O'Reilly, attorney for the
served notice by letter on the New
York State Boxing Commission thai
unless it gave him satisfaction for his
clients the members would be hsleo
into the courts.
O'Reilly charges that the commission
has furnished his clients no explana-
tior of why suspension of ninety days
was meted out as the result of an un-
satisfactory termination to q bout at
the Ploneer sporting Cluo. IL is al
legged the commission has not furnished
"A copy of its finding to either OF the
parties concerned, nor any scrap Of the
chargea preferred against them.
Further, it is alleged the parties were
condemned without trial.
O'Reilly, as counsel, has asked for
copies Of all papers and records, ant
also for an explanation Of why the
Pioneer s. G. was ordered not to pay
his clients.
Irrespective OF the merits or JUS
tice of the case, it is not difficult TO
discern where the sport will drift if
those who should have its interest

Schang Ready
For Action and
Glad He's Yank
Catcher Pays First Official
Visit to New Owners; Bo-
die Passes Up Hot Springs

WaiIle Schang, the veteran catcher
secured in deal from the Boston Red
Sox this winter, paid his first official
visit to his new employers yesterday
afternoon.
The catcher, who, IL Ia expected,
should get the most out Of Miller
Huggins's pitching staff, which is rated
among the best in the business, will
leave with Waite Hoyt and Harry Har-
day. Babe Ruth and Carl Myers will
also be at the famous watering place
at +Ae same time, but probably will
travel there alone.
The Yankees, therefore, will probably
have the honor Of inaugurating the
1921 training season, though it is ques
tionable if the form OF exercise pre-
scribed by the heads Of the firm of
Rupert and Huston could be strictly
interpreted as spring training. The
five athletes while in Hot Springs will
not be required to handle baseball
unless they wish to play ttse"catch" "
them take the baths and at the same
time take off weight by indulging in
plenty of outdoor exercise such as
horseback riding, hill climbing, tennis
and golf.
None of the Yankee players this year
has been required TO go to Hot Springs,
yet all of the veterans who care to
avail themselves of the privilege at the
clubs expense have been told they
would be welcome. 1t was generally
supposed that Ping Bodie would have
been of the party. But friend Ping
called at the Yankee offices yesterday
| to cancel an earlier engagement. There
was no appearance of any "bay win
dow" on Pings premises. He has been
! following his winter-time occupation
| Of riveter practically since the close of
last season and he looks about as tough
and hard as any rivet he ever juggled
I Bodie, by the way, states openly
that the outfelders will have q diff
cult job to keep him out Of the batting
order regularly. His leg which was
fractured last season is entirely sound
Bodie is a great spring player, and if
/ the prop Is as good as ever he stands
an excellent chance of being in Hug
gins's lineup opening day.
Wallie Schang does not appear t
require any visit to Hot Springs, either
| He seems down almost to weight. For
| the past ten weeks he has been rough
! ing it on his fathers farm up ness
! Buffalo.
y wouldn't have returned TO my
| Philadelphia home" said Wallie, al
father hadn't rented the farm which he
has worked for thirty-seve years The
ten weeks up there few away like one
in the city.
"How do I like New York ?" schanp
continued. "Why it's every player'i
ambition TO land here. And Pm going
to work my hardest to make good. I've
been a mighty lucky player in the mat
ter of being associated with champion
ship teams and I hope my luck viii
