TWO BIG ARENAS AFTER
CREB-TUNNEY MATCH

NEW YORK, April 22.-The pro-
posed match between Harry Greb
and Gene Tunney for the light-heavy-
weight title seems TO be hanging high
and dangling furiously. Old DOC"
Bagley, who directs the destinies of
one Tunney, is keen for having the
rImpus settled NJ Mister Doyle's
Thirty-O Odd Acres In jersey City. Doc
got a peek at the Dempsey-Carp
tier crowd over that way some time
back and he's never got over the
notion that one of his handy men
would draw SOMETHING like that
assemblage II given the opportunity.
Frank Flournoy, matchmaker at
the Garden, wants the lads to have II
out in the big town hall to a fifteen
round decision. Then, he tells the
warriors bold, the winner will be
matched TO box Georges Carpenter
at NJ. Boyle's place for the worlds
title in that division. And so the
situation seems to be locked. Bagley
will not bulge in his position and
Greb has maintained he will hold out
for a decision bout. In Jersey City
no official verdict can be made.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, April a.
The Yale News. resuming publication
after the Easter recess, today ex-
pressed disapproval of early season
races, such as were rowed last Satur-
day at Philadelphia, and in which
Yale lost the three events to Penn.
The News says:
"As long as Yale continues to par.
ticipate in premature dual meets
with Pennsylvania, the result is GER
tain to be just what II has been four
times in the last five years. While
Pennsylvania trains intensively for
the dual meet, the university must
be leisurely preparing for the Har-
ward race two months hence. II we
are to meet Pennsylvania annually,
with a reasonable chance of escaping
defeat, one of two changes Is neces-
sary: Either a special crew must be
trained for the early two.mile race,
or the date OF the meet must be post
poned.

BRITISH STARS
WILL De SEEN IN
TITLE TOURNEY
Probable Makeup of English
Team to Play at srookIine,
Mass, Is Known.

Willie Hunter, amateur champion
Of Great Britain; Roger Wethered,
who tied Jock Hutchison for the Brit
ish open championship in 1921: Cyril
ToIley, British amateur champion In
1920; z. c. Carter, the Irish title
holder; w. b. Torrance, regarded as
Scotland's finest amateur; Harry
Braid, son of a famous father; J. l..
c. Jenkins, British champion in 1914;
r. w. e. Holderness, Gordon Simp-
son and G. V. L. Hooman.
That, IL was learned from semi
official sources, is to be the makeup
OF the British team that will meet
America in an international team golf
match prior to the holding OF the ma
tional amateur championship at
Brookline, Mass.
The match, OF course, is not yet
signed, sealed and delivered. There
Is many slip 'twixt cup and the
waxed mustache, and September IL
quite bit removed from early April,
but
The British are quite a thorough
going lot. They have tacitly agI eed
to send on a team for the lnterna-
tional match, and, therefore, can see
no good reason why they should not
send a good one.
The present lineup Is an impress
sive one, and II a reasonable per-
centage of the men selected accept
the invitation, America will play
host to the finest lot of British anna.
teurs that ever appeared in tourna-
ment play here.
Hunter, Tolley and wethered are
well known in this country, each
having had his fling at the American
title without success, although Hun
ter gave the boys a bad scare st st.
Louis last summer. Tolley and
Wethered failed to qualify in the
1920 event, but before and since that
time have proved themselves great
golfers.
The others, particularly Holder
ness, Jenkins and Carter, have been
prominent internationally for some
years. Indeed, those selected were
Just good enough to displace Colin
Aylmer, one Of the three British win
ners in the international matches at
Hoylake last summer; Alexander
Armour, amateur champion OF Scot
land; Bernard Darwin, semi-finalist
in the sritish championship last
year. and r. II. De Montmorency, a
member OF the British international
team on that occasion.
Only one deserving name n
omitted from the list, and this n
quite as II should be. We refer to
Tom Armour, who has been playing
championship golf In America for
three years, although nominally still
a British subject.

BY LOCAL STAR.
Young Bowen Trained to the
Minute for Bout With BaIti-

Lieut.. James W. Dewey, match
maker OF the National Athletic Club,
OF Baltimore. announced today he
has signed Charley O'Neil, OF Ken
sington. 10 box Eddie Burnbrook, of
Camp Holabird, in the semi-windup
to the George Chaney-Shamus
O'Brien lightweight mill, which he
will stage next Tuesday evening in
Baltimore.
According 10 Dewey, O'Neil has
boxed Tommy Loughran, PHILIPS
latest middleweight star; Frankie
Britton, and other well.known
knights OF the roped arena.
1t II Dewey's intention to arrange
a set OF good preliminaries for Tues
day evening, despite the fact that
the meeting of CLANCY and O'Brien
Is one of the most attractive ring
events of the season. He has booked
what appears all over to be a cork
ing match in the pairing OF Young
Gilley, former lightweight champion
Of the South, and Charley Baum, a
stable companion OF George CLANCY.
'Gilley recently returned to the
arena after a long absence and made
good, defeating the rough and ready
Pat McGovern. Gilley's victory over
McGovern was a very impressive
one, and indicated that he still pos
sesses much of his old-time skill in
the pugilistic line.
Young Bowen, of Washington, Is
being trained up TO the minute for
his engagement with Joe CLANCY.
These two lads are known ring
enemies" and their meeting is ex-
pected to develop some OF the best
action of the evening. Washington
has a special block of tickets on sale
at the barber shop beneath the Ma
tionsl Theater, and a goodly throng
of local fans expected TO be in Balti-
more for Dewey's attractive bill.
