AROUSES FANS.
Rickard's Announcement of Site
Is Expected Today or
Tomorrow.
BY JACK vEIOCK.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-Jack
Dempsey has started light training.
Georges Carpenter will sail for
the United States early in May.
:, These little news items today
arouse boxing fans to interest, in
that Tex Rickard, promoter of the
big international match scheduled
for July 2, has only few more days
to name the site of the bout.
On March 2 Rickard asked the
principals for thirty days grace in
which to choose the site. The time
is nearly up. Richards announce
ment is expected today or Tuesday
From the outset the promoter has
maintained strict silence regard
ing the probable site, except his ad-
mission that he intended to stage it
in the United States, If possible.
Meanwhile, followers of boxing have
been doing lot of guessing.
NEW JERSEY is FAVORED.
Consensus of opinion in boxing cir
cles here today points toward New
Jersey as the battle ground. and while
the writer possesses no first-hand in
formation from Rickard, it seems GER
tain now that the "Skeeter" State will
land the match. Tex, tits said, has
never even approached the New York
boxing commission regarding it.
To a man up a tree the hustling
city of Newark appears to be the
logical landing place for the match.
Newark has hotel accommodations
and railroad facilities. 1t is but thir-
ty minutes from Pennsylvania Sta
tion, the heart of New York. Best of
all III is said the New Jersey boxinp
commission will welcome the big
bout.
John Chapman, Newark's big BIZ
cycle racing impressio, who was as
sociated with Rickard in the promo
tion of the recent six-day race at
Madison Square Garden, is building
new velodrome in MS home city, the
greatest of its kind ever attempted.
HAS BEEN NURSING IDEA.
1t is known that he has long nursed
an idea Of associating bike racing
and boxing, and that he would have
done so long ago had it not been that
property owners in the neighborhood
OF his old velodrome objected to box
ing. Whether the building of his
new arena has any significance or any
connection with plans for the Carpen-
tler-Dempsey bout is a matter for
conjecture. But IL will all be an open
book within the next few days.
Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager,
said today that the worlds champion
will wind up his theatrical tour in
Seattle, April IL. and come at once to
New York to start training. Demp-
sey reports that he is feeling great
and is eager to start working out
regularly again. 500

FREAK GOLF SHOTS
Stunts" on Links Please Spec
tators at Pinehurst
Course.

PINEHURST, N. c.. March 2S.-Jo-
seph II. Kirkwood. the Australian
open golf champion, took part in his
first American match at Pinehurst yes
terday and later gave an exhibition
of his golfing stunts and freak shots.
Kirkwood played in partnership with
Tom Kerrigan against Parker Whit
temore and Emmett French, and al
though Kirkwood's side was defeated
by three and two the Australian dem
onstrated to the satisfaction of all be-
holders that he is very much to be
reckoned with in the impending bat
tie for the North and South open
title.
The exhibition given by Kirkwood
after the match included his famous
trick Of back spinning a mashie and
niblick shots straight up in the az
over his head. recovering from an
apparently unplayable lie in . trap
by playing the ball to the fairway
directly behind him and driving 200
yards with wood or iron with the ball
teed up on the crystal of a watch
or on top of another ball. or on the
toe OF Victor Eats's shoe without dis
turbing the watch. the lower ball or
the equanimity of Victor.
He also placed a string OF balls
one behind the other two inches apart
and drove them long distances in
rapid succession, beginning with the
rear one, and he defied all attempts
to find a fairway lie out OF which he
could not play at least $50 yards with
wooden club. He drove with his
eye on the ball or looking back over
his shoulder with apparently equal
facility. He also drove a closely
punched collection of fifteen balls
within a space of nine seconds with
out disturbing any save the ball aim
ed at.

FATHER TIME SEES
NEW MARKS MADE
Paddock, Ames, and Murchison
Break or Equal Records
Last Saturday.

Not in many years has Old Father
Time been jolted so hard as he was
last Saturday. On five different oc-
casions Saturday, and as result two
world records were shattered and
three others equaled, marking one of
the greatest days in the history of
amateur athletics. Whether the new
records will be accepted by the A. A.
U. is questionable.
Charlie Paddock, of the University
of Southern California, led the as
sault. The Olympic 100 meters cham
pion equaled the worlds record for
100 yards by covering the distance in
Q 80 seconds, and a short while later
did what many critics thought never
could be accomplished by man. Pad
dock covered 220 yards in 20 As sec
onds, clipping two seconds off the
mark first made by Bernie Wefers. sr.,
in 1896. Paddock's performances were
made at Berkeley in a duel between
the University of California and
Southern California.
The report of Paddock's achieve
ments was followed by another from
Salt Lake City, to the effect that Gin.
ton Larsen, OF Provo, Utah, who has
held several Western titles in his long
career as an athlete, had cleared the
bar in the running high jump at
feet Az inches! bettering the in
door mark made in 1912 by one
fourth inch.
As IL this were not enough to startle
the athlete world at its Easter morn
ing breakfast table, Chicago came
through with an eleventh hour dis
patch to the effect that Loren Murchi-
son, of the Illinois A. c., had equaled
the 1O-yard dash record of Z Is Sec
onds, and that Waldo Ames, Chicago
A. A., had run even with the best time
ever made indoors for the TO-yard
high hurdles. Ames was clocked in
$40 seconds. The men were compet-
ing in the annual championships of
