 New York. March 11.--Not since the Dempsey -Carpentier battle has the public been so worked up over bout as that which will take place on Monday night at Madison Square Garden. between Tommy Gibbons Of St Paul and Harry Greb of Pittsburg. It is already assured that the big arena, with it's seating capacity of 13, ,0OO, will be crowded from ringside to roof.
 Both contestants are trained to razor's edge and are fit for the full I5-round route, provided, of course, one or the other doesn't get his jaw or solar plexus in the way of trip manner punch. Greb will weigh in on the afternoon of the first at not more than 160 pounds, while.iif Gib- bons tips the beat at the weight limit set for the fight, l75 pounds, his fol- lowers will be surprised. The other afternoon Gibbons weighed IFS, while Greb, after workout showed. 15s. That impressed the writer unfavor- ably, for Greb should have been put tins on weight instead of taking 1t off Therefore tits a sure thing that the Pittsburger will concede over 10 pounds to his opponent. This doesn't mean SO much as in the case of men of the lighter classes, yet it means something and while it, has hot been altogether responsible for the odds quoted on Gibbons. it has played a part.
 Gibbons Is Favorite
 After watching both men carefully at their work, the critical observer cannot help leaning toward Gibbons. Yet he will recognize that the fight should be corker and that if Tommy cannot knock out his rival he will hc hard put to come through to a decision.

The ax fell in the Baron camp Sat urday afternoon and the heads of nine rockies fell In the pasKet. while Moley, chief executioner, wielded the blade.

 Catcher Hatfield. the biggest man on the entire roster came from Day ton, O., 10 try for a berth with the Barons and was recommended by Bud Hungling, catcher with the Memphis Chicks last year. Catcher Marshall halls from Lewisburg.
 All Semi-Pros
 Every man cast adrift was semi pro last year and the majority of them played on the lots around Bir- mingham.
 With the release of nine men, this reduces the rookie squad to 21, and with 20 regulars scheduled to report Monday that will make 40 ball play CTS cavorting at Redwood field until Moley again swoops down with the ax.
 Linquist Reports
 The latest addition to the squad d came in Saturday afternoon. This man is a big right -hander, Linquist. who was purchased by the Barons from the Coffeyville club, the same outfit that George Tice pastimed with last season. Linquist was out m uni form Saturday afternoon, but got 1lt- tie work on his first day out.
 Pug Allen Here

Johnny Dobbs Likes Looks of Young
 InfieIders

Now Orieans. March 11.-(Special.) Call it. if you will. an "all,chiId" in- field, but if you see Kid" Kicks, Gus Barbare, Freddie Kallenberg and Johnny Wight holding down the i'm ner works at Heinemann park any one of these balmy afternoons you will unhesi tatingly admit that youth will be served.
 Kicks at first, Barbare at ,econd Klitnberg at short and Wight at third worked like a well-oiled ma chine. Every time they field a ball they seem to get things down better and with more snap.
 Isn't it a pity that youngsters like that with their eagerness and dash, have such keen competition for jobs in Class A ball?" asked Johnny Dobbs after he was through batting ground CTS to the all-kid infield yesterday.
 Barring their experience, these boys hardly could be improved on. They each have the spirit and after al. the right spirit will carry a man long way in a baseball game"
 Barbare, brother of the former Pelican, Walter Barbare, is showing up splendidly at second base. He handles himself pretty much like Brother Walt, and takes a nice cut at the ball at the plate. He has never played professional ball before.
 Kicks Is a youngster from the Georgia league and few recruit first basemen have shown up better.
 Kallenberg and Wight both are To- cal products-one from the Bankers league and one from Tulane-and Johnny Dobbs says each practice finds them both showing improve ment.
 Johnny Dobbs is taking his veteran pitchers along slowly, being deter mined not to let Joe Martina, Abe Bailey, George McQuillian or Bill James put themselves out of commits sion with a sore arm through too much work at first. incidentally, all four of them are stacking up splen- 4

As to that we will be in a better position to speak after the Greb affair.
 A Big Johnny Dundee
 Well, that,s pretty glowing ac- count of Gibbons. How about his op ponent? Have you ever seen Johnny Dundee in action? Most everyone has Harry Greb, thens is big Johnny Dundee He is going every minute and no man nSs ever vet got set to hit him with all he has, he comes in pretty wide but he comes in zig-zag and the angle you aim at may not be his angle when the glove shoots forth. Like Johnny Dundee, he uses the ropes lot, leaning far back on them and then shooting into his man like an arrow from bow
 Don't think he can't hit. He can when he sets himself. but his plan is no. to set himself. He makes him self moving target In front of his opponent and in the meantime sungs him constantly with waliops that hurt even if they don't induce sleep.
 Gibbons is confident. Of course. He is bigger than his rival and has been putting almost everyone he has met

In defeating Freddie Boofed, otrlo- ling won from a boxer. scientific battler, but one who Hacked the punch to make an impression on the heavier Stribling.
 In Blanque the Macon boy defeated a slugger, a ringman who is bat tier. and knows only one style of fighting. that of swapping punches with his foeman, the better man win ming. Stribling's victory was sur prisingly easy.
 That Avera Bout
 In Avera, Stribling met a combina- ton scrapper, one who can box it out with the best of them. or stand UT and slug with the battlers. Avera has one drawback, however He is mighty cautious; in fact, he is su cautious that in a majority of his fights he stays purely on the defen- sise. Stribling's aggressiveness won over Avera, Atlanta newspapers affair a draw.
 When Stribling enters the ring with Kelly. he will be facing q scrap per of the sort he has never met be- fore. In Kelly fandom is given the opportunity of witnessing a boxing slugger, one who is willing and anx- ious to mix it from start to finish Kelly not only can hit the fastest of foes, but he can hit them hard Tommy Tompkins, who is match maker at the B. A. C., states that Kelly has much harder punch than fans give him credit for, and cites as evidence that in every scrap he has staged at the B. A. C.. Kelly has been opposed by first class boy.
 keIiy's Opponents ellUfs m r as Dixie Allen, Dummy Harrington Freddie Boorde and Larry AVera Kelly has hit them all, and hit then hard, too. claims Tommy, and the B. A. c. matchmaker goes on to say that a scrapper of Stribling's type should be easy for Kelly, as the loca battler can dance around the some what stationary Stribling and choI away at will.
 Here are a few facts that railbird: must consider before picking theii wipner for tomorrow nights bout: kelly-A medium sized man, weigh ing about 142 pounds, with bulky, but supple muscles.

Frazee Offered More For Dugan Than Was
 Paid for Babe Ruth

Boston, March Hilary H. Frazee, president of the Boston Americans, says he has rejected a proposal for players purchase that would surpass all others of the kind.
 'I have been offered and have re- fused more money for Joe pugan, than I received for Babe Ruth" dis patches from Hot Springs, Ark, the Red Sox training camp, quotes F'razee as saying.
 That is taken to mean that ap- proximately s150.0o0 was placed as the value Of the shortstop who came to the Boston club during the winter in a three cornered trade, after mak- ing his mark as member of the Athletics. Frazee has been credited with having received between S12S, = GOO and st5o.000 for Ruth. Dugan is now convalescing from illness at his home in New Haven, Conn.
 Frazee said Dugan would not be sold. He would not indicate the source of the offer.
