Westerners Invade
Local Ball Parks
I'm Seasons Debut
Cardinals Meet Giants al
Polo Grounds, While Reds
Play at Ebbets Field
By R. 7. Kelly

The first clashes of the season be-
tween the East and the West in both
major baseball leagues vii, take place
this afternoon. Most of the teams en-
joyed respite yesterday, as the
Eastern clubs of the American League
We're travelling westward, while
the Western outfits of the National
League were ON their way East.
The Giants will open four~gama
series with the st. Louis Cardinals at
the Polo Grounds to-day and the
champion Dodgers will meet the Gin
cinnati Reds at Ebbets Field. The Reds
Will visit Manhattan on Saturday and
the Cardinals will move over to Brook
lyn on the same afternoon. The
Pittsburgh Pirates, who are setting &
dizzy pace at present, will make their
hrst appearance of the year in this
city, when they. oppose the Dodgers
week from Wednesday.
Southpaw Artie Nehf is slated to
pitch against the Cardinals to-day and
ne will probably draw Jess Haines as
his opponent. The st. Louis club has
made q poor showing thus far this
season and McGraw's players are hone
ful Of winning at least three of the
tour games. Shufs1in' Phil Douglas
who has been incapacitated with an in
fected finger, may be in shape to pitch
the second contest for the Giants.
Walter Ruether will probably he
on the mound for the Dodgers
this afternoon, and it is more
than likely that Manager Pat Moran
of the Reds, will send Rube Merquard
against his former teammates. The
Cincinnati players got off to a poor
start this year, but they have shown
considerable improvement since the re-
turn of the brilliant Eddie Roush to
the lineup.
The Yankees left Toronto last night
for Detroit, where they will take on
Ty Cobb's rejuvenated Tigers this
afternoon in the first Of four-game
series. Higgins will nominate Carl
Mays to do the pitching, while Cobb
will probably call upon Howard Ehmke.
The Yanks will jump to Cleveland ON
Saturday to meet the worlds cham
pions and they will then play the
White Sox and the Browns before re-
turning to the Polo Grounds.

Dempsey Starts

Champion Begins Day With
Jog Over Sands and Own
Cooks Prepare Breakfast
Special Dispatch to TIE Tr;bv,,s

ATLANTIC CITY, May e.-Jack
Dempsey began hard work here to-day
in training for his championship bout
July with Georges Carpenter. After
one of the busiest Sundays of his life
in which he was feted from early until
late, the champion arose shortly after
sunrise and for two hours logged up
and down the sands.
Jack performed 'sbehind closed
DOORS" as it were, for the running
track is entirely within the inclosure
set aside for his training quarters and
the public will be admitted only during
exhibition hours. A stiff breeze was
blowing in from the ocean while Demp-
sey was on the road, and he was highly
elated when he concluded the first
round Of exercise breathing easy and
1eeilng tit to tackle hearty breakfast.
Ii was the first meal prepared by his
own staff OF cooks, and the champion
pronounced it sfit for king He
rested for an hour after the repast and
then went in for lot Of light exercise,
including rope jumping, tossing the
medicine ball, shadow boxing and bag
punching. He will rot begin mauling
his sparring partners for several days
and for time he will go slow with
them.
Manager Jack Kearns said his pro-
tege would take more and more siren
uous exercise each day until he finally
enters a ring that is being constructed
here OF the same size as the one in
which he will meet Carpenter in Jer-
sey City. So far as possible Dempsey
wlll have conditions at the camp lust
as they will be in the real encounter.
He was much interested TODAY in
hearing from New York that the big
bowl on Boyle's "Thirty Acres" is taxi
ing shape and that il will soon have
the semblance of an amphitheater. He
plans to visit Jersey City and take a
look at the place just as soon as the
ring has been constructed. In fact
ne will study the place thoroughly
especially to ascertain how the suns
rays are likely to be sIanting at the
time of his battle with the Frenchman
Jack posed this afternoon for a small
army of photographers and the mo-
ton pictures caught him in action
The champion plans to make several
flying visits to New York and to Fred.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune


TORONTO, Ont, May Babe Ruth
and Bob Meusel, the Home Run Kids

claity act for the edifcation of a ca
paclty crowd in an exhibition game
with the local team of the New Inter

leaguers won by a to 8, the deciding
tally coming in the ninth inning.

vlded the pitching for the New York
ers and between them gave the Leafs
seven hits. Refs went the route for
the nome town team and yielded nine
hlts. However, several of these, in
GUIDING the four-baggers by Ruth and
Meusel, came in the first inning and
netted the visitors three runs.
The Toronto boys set sail after the
Big Town clan in the second, scoring
one run and adding another in each
OF the fourth and fifth sessions. Reis
pitched superb ball between the first
and ninth innings, but in the last ses-
sion he weakened for few moments
and the Yankees seized the opportunity
to bring the game to a conclusion in
the regulation period.
This exhibition preceded the repu-
larly scheduled league game between
Reading and Toronto The Yankees
did not wait to watch these teams
play, as they left on the first train for
Detroit, where they open their West
