Richard to Meet Champ
at Dock With Contracts;
Great Stuff for Public!
By DAVIS j. WALSH.

NEW YORK, May is.-Jack Dempsey
and retinue are coming On the Aquitania
tomorrow afternoon. and just TO make the
business look business like, the eminent
Mr.. Richard and Frank Flournoy will be
ut the dock to meet them, with sheafs OF
official looking papers protruding from
every pocket.
The promoters will be present. ostensi-
bly,. to sign Dempsey then and there to
articles Of agreement, calling for him to
meet Harry Wills In Montreal, July l.
and Jess Willard in Jersey City on La
Dor day. In reality. the could sit in
comfort in their Madison Square Garden
offices and wait until Dempsey and Jack
Kearns pay them a friendly call. for no
contract, if one has not already been en-
tered into, will be signed on packing
case down At the dock.
The parties in question know very well
when and where Dempsey Is to fight next,
and they have pretty fair idea Of his
projected opponents identity
IL you care TO accept our opinion of
the matter, he will be Harry Wills some
where on Labor day. willard, an old
man who has been out Of the ring for
three years, is neither a logical nor a
sensible opponent. and the proposed July
date with Willis is entirely too close at
hand to permit Of the build-up the oc-
caSion demands and warrants.

LOUISVILLE. May 1s-There was to
be q big celebration at the ball park
here today il the weather did not ruin the

the Champion Colonies were ready to doll
up and hoist the pennant amid tunes and
cheers. Jack Hendricks Indians from
Indianapolis were TO supply the OPP
position in the ball game to follow and
the Hoosiers were feeling just about
right TO step out and give the champions
q beating.
Commissioner Lands came down from
Chicago to attend the ceremonies and
Thomas J. Hickey, president of the Amer
lean Association, also WAS to lend his
presence to the event.
The weather was threatening this
morning, but there was some hopes that

the program to proceed.
The Indians felt in good mood this
morning after enjoying the off-day at
home Wednesday. The pitchers regafned
some of the. strength lost on the hard
western trip and they believe they will
be able to tighten during the games here
and ut Toledo and Columbus.
Claude Jonnard, the hurler obtained
from the Giants, is to Join the Indians
here and Manager Hendricks plans to
use him In the series with the Colonies.
Jonnard is said to possess speed, but

ing speed, the final twelve days before

way he dopes it all out: Conditions this
year are practically identical with those
of 1915, when De Palma set the present
record. In that year Barney says there
were i've cars in the race which had
speed, and they forced each other up
and up until it came down to a battle
between De Palma, Resta in a Peugeot
and Gil Anderson in a Stutz. This bat
tie resulted In the present record This
year, Barney says, there are a flock of
fast cars. and unless there is rain or a
big head wind he predicts the competi-
ton Is going to be so fast that the old
record will fall.

JAKE IN LEAD
AT 1000 MARK
Champ Takes First Two
Blocks in Title Cue Match
Final Play Tonight.
BY ED w. SMITH.

CHICAGO, May 1S.-Behind at the end
of the twenty eighth inning by 2S5
points, Welker Cochran put up one Of
those grand finishes in the second block
OF his championship balk line billiards
match with Jake Schaeffer and as ra-
suit of his smashing good run of 159,
the contest Is now where it was al the
mere matter Of two points on Welker
and the score now stands 1000 to 919 in
favor Of the champion.
A mere matter of less than 100 points
appears to be nothing between these
young fellows and one single break for
one or the other will not only even 1t
up but make it mighty perilous for the
champion.
Just by way OF suggestion and not
a prediction at all, we'd say that Jake
is playing the steadier and better bill
some wonderful billiards in spots but
he me- kes more mistakes than does Jake.
Easily the feature Of the match so far
was the run of 159 right at the finish OF
last nights match. Schaeffer needed four
to go, missed and then left a greasy
looking shot, covered with oil, that Coch-
ran studied for bit and then grabbed
It off, one of the balls being frozen to
the rail at a mighty difficult angie. From
this discouraging start he began the
most reckless run of the two nights.
At the count of 100 his cue ball was
frozen to the other white and it looked
1t and then continued on to 159 when q
short bank shot but at difficult angle,
forced him to sit down. Then Jake ran
out the necessary four. He will continue
tonight in the final block with the balls
in none too good a position.
