CHERBOURG, France, April 1S.-
Jack Dempsey enthused like a school
boy as he got his first glimpse of
France to-day. When the giant Aqui-
tania arrived, Dempsey was playing
pinochle in the smoke room with Joe
Benjamin, Teddy Hayes and several
passengers. A cheer arose from the
shore. The champion swept cards and
coins from the table and made the
top side in a few bounds. He was
helpless when delegation of French
men came on board to extend him an
official welcome in French. He laughed
and said: That's fine. Glad to see

The interviewers put him through

Many of the passengers were eager
to tell how much they had enjoyed
the company of the champion on the
trip. One woman passenger, OBJ

newspaper men that she was surprised
at Dempsey.
"He ate very little, drank nothing

he red-faced giant, but he doesn't

The chief steward said Dempsey ate
less than any passenger on the ship,
contenting himself with one good meal
daily.
Dempsey denied that he had been
seasick, and the passengers confirmed
it. He rose at every morning and
spent most of the time until noon
walking the decks.
Before continuing on the trip to
London, Dempsey said he was pleased
to learn that Carpenter was there
and that he was anxious to see him
again. 'He is one of the finest and
gamest men 1 have ever met, a gooC
fellow and a fine sport" he said.

YANKS PURCHASE
STAR OUTF|ELDER
FROM ATHLETICS
Whitley Witt viii Probably
Get in Game Against
Red Sox To-Day.
BY Robert Boyd.

BOSTON, April 1S.-Whitey Witt,
former outfielder of the Philadelphia
Athletics, was purchased by the
Yankees and will be in the lineup to-
day against the Red SoX
No purchase price was announced
by Higgins. The Yankee manager
put In claiui for Witt last week
when Connie Mack asked for waivers
on him. So many managers requested
Wits services that the tall Philadel-
phia leader recalled tho asking for
waivers.
Higgins has been angling for an
outfelder for some time and IT Is
thought that another announcement
will be made shortly in which Amos
Strunk OF the Chicago White Sox VIII

Witt is a left ft-handed hitter and will
probably alternate with Mcmillan in

gulRr feats in baseball. From n
school boy at the Goddard Seminary
in New Hampshire he jumped TO a
major league club in 1916.
Last year with the Athletics Witt

.321. These were his two best years.

gain" They don't know how Harry
Frazee ever did it. That's the talk
of the town here in Boston. Soon
'Scotty" may lose the warm friend
ship of the fans of Boston. Fans are
tickle, even in Boston. Out OF sight
is soon out of their minds, and soor
it will be with the sad faced, consis-
tent deacon.
When the fans speak OF Boston's
loss and New York's gain they have
mentioned a fact that becomes more
obvious each day. AS great a short
fielder as Roger Peckinpaugh was
Scotty is infinitely better. He is to
the Yankees what Davey Bancroft is
to the Giants inner defense, their
spark plug. Without him they would
be like a ship without a rudder, ut
terly lost. In the three games Will
the Senators when the infeld wav-
cred and was in a state Of confusion
"SCotty" would assist them in re-
gaining their pose.
Pcckinpaugh was the slightly better
hitter, but Scotty's speedy work
makes Peck" appear mentally slug
gish in comparison. Scott goes fur
ther to the right than Peck would
think Of. He thinks quicker, hits
timely and invariably makes them
count. And as a thrower, they say
on the American League circuit that
Scotty can throw standing on his
head.
"Scotty" will perhaps lose his great
| Boston prestige, but what an idol he
is destined to become to the fans OF
the Polo Grounds. He is silent
| easy going fellow, much along the
same lines as George Burns, now
| with Pat Moran in Cincinnati. j
would not be predicting anything too
great either to see "Scotty" steI
right into the empty shoes left behint
| by Burns when the idol OF the Poll
'Grounds departed for Cincinnati.

His Departure from Boston
More, Keenly Felt Than
That of Babe Ruth.
lspeeIaI to The Evening World ,


BOSTON, Mass, April lS.-No
player that has ever left Fenway
Park has caused more sorrow among
the Boston fans than the departure of
Everett Scott, shortstop. Up here
they lose their "Scotty." They feel
that they made Scotty, gave him his
big league spurs, and it was here he
gained his prominence that was
spoken of from coast to coast.
The exit of Carl Mays, Hoyt, Jones,
Schange ct al. who once made their
home at Fenway Park, caused the
fans regret. Even the great colossus
of swat Babe Ruth's leaving here
touched the hearts OF the populace OF
the city of culture. But the going Of
"Scotty," Deacon Scott, has left them
heartbroken.
Only a scant 1000 fans from this
quiet city on the banks of the Charles
River wended their way out to sec
the opening game of a four-game
series to be played here with the
Yankees. It was a threatening day
with cold, wintry wind sweeping
down on the ball field. Nearly every
one of these 1000 fans, it appeared
came to do honor to "Scotty" and pay
homage to their great little shortstoT
who wears a Red SoX uniform nc
more. When Scott went to bat in the
second inning he was rendered an
ovation he will not soon forget. Men
.yomen and children clapped theil
hands in tribute to the quiet, sad
faced "Scotty," shortstop extraordi-
nary of the American League.

DODGERS EXPECT
TO FACE MEADOWS
IN PH|LLY TODAY
Dazzy Vance Is Slated to
Work for the Brooklyn
Team Against Quakers.
Special to The Evening worldD


PHILADELPHIA. Pa, April IS
Rain got the goats of the Brooklyn
Dodgers when it postponed their
opening game here yesterday and left
them only two to play in this series
before they return to Brooklyn to
meet the Giants on Thursday.
The Dodgers had it all planned to
make a killing here and have a mark
of five won and three lost when they
appeared for their formal opening at
Ebbets Field, but with one game gone
by the boards the best they can do is
to have four won and three lost be
fore Thursday. providing they take
two from the Phillies.
While Uncle Robbie and his men
think the Phillies should be easy
pickings they are taking no chances.
They expect to face Lee Meadows
this afternoon, and when Lee is fit
he can beat champions just as easily
as he can dubs. and vice versa. He
opened the season for the Philles by
tanning the Boston Braves and the
four eyed wonder Is said to be in the
best spring form he has shown for
years.
Dazzy Vance is slated to COM
pete with Meadows this after
noon, but Burleigh Grimes has told
| Uncle Robbie that he Is ready, and
Robbie may intrust the game to his
| famous ace. Grimes has been work
ling out very cautiously and has done
| no real pitching except in part of
| one exhibition game against the
Yankees. A nerve complex in his sal =
ary wing has delayed Grimes's ap-
pearance in the National League up
to now and he says he is not sure
the complex has disappeared, but
is willing to take a chance.
The Dodgers will be without the
services OF Tom Griffith in right dur
ing the series. He pulled a tendon
when he beat out a bunt in the sew
enth inning against the Phillies in
Brooklyn on Sunday, and had to let
Neis finish for him. The leg be-
came sore that night and is still sore
Bobbie ordered him to take a rest
Bernie Neis will play right, batting
left handed against right handlers
and turning around when southpaws
are on the hill. After Neis went II
for Griffith on Sunday he made a hi
that drove in two runs.
. Hank Deberry's thumb was hur
, painfully when It was split by a fou
tip from Cliff Lee, the Phillies' right
fielder, in the first inning last Sun
day afternoon and he may be on tn
bench for ten days. Zack Taylor ha
been nominated for the vacancy be
hind the bat, but Robbie is thinking
! of Barney Hungling as an alternat
] to Taylor
e Ivan Olson saved his job at secon,
| base for a while when he made
, single and a double against tn
. Phillies on Sunday, but If he doe
! not hit better than he flashed in tn
. games with the Giants he will b
lifted and Harold Janvrin will be sen
to second. Olson has been improv
ing in his fielding in the last coupl
OF games, and that has counted 4
his favor. His work in the first thre
II games was so bad that the large ar
n ray OF Brooklyn rooters at the Pol
d Grounds were demanding that Robbi
s take him out.

Local Baseball Clubs
Are $500, 900 Richer
Than Last Christmas
Lady Luck Beaming on
Greater New York Teams
This Spring.
BY Bozeman Bulger.

Lady LUCK nopped rlght INTO the
laps of the local baseball clubs this
spring. She's played no favorite,
either. She's bounced from Yanks
TO Giants TO Robins and back again.
Our home outfits are about 5000, 900
richer in unexpected talent than they
were as recent as last Christmas.
So many new players have made
good this spring the old percentage
tables are all out OF gear and the
dope books have been tossed out the
window.
Think of this, old timers. Read 1t
and weep:
The Robins were badly in need of
three good regulars and had no
dough. Thereupon Lady Luck plant
ed herself in Uncle Wilbert's lap. In
every game so far the Robins have
played two new men-Andy High and
catcher DeBerry-and they have
been the outstanding heroes of the
early battles. Then Robbie needed
another pitcher. Who should step
out but Dazzy Vance. ..lrcaDy he's
acclaimed a star.
The Giants, after getting Heinie
Groh for 800, 900 discovered that they
must have some one TO take the place
OF George Burns. Lady Luck there
upon took a seat on McGraw's knee
He found right at his elbow three mer
for the job. either of whom could have
made good. MAC" picked out Shin
ners, though. And he turned trumps
This boy from the American Associa
ton has been denting the fences uT
there at the Polo Grounds with sucf
regularity that he is one of the lead
ing wallopers in every batting broad
side fired by the Champs. Moreover
he has covered the outfeld like thu
dew and has been running the basei
like a reindeer.
The Yanks felt a great shadow com
ing over them when the Judge pu
Babe Ruth and Bob Meuse in tn
stands in store pants and told then
TO sit there. What could be don
about It? Higgins couldn't afford u
go out and buy a star until the BAN
bino or Meusel got back-just for si'
weeks,
Then Lady Luck bounced over an
fiopped on Miller's knee. Who shoul
she bring with her but Mcmillan, tn
self-starting, reversible outfielder o
infielder-use his as suits the taste.
II suited Higgins to try this boy 4
the Bambino's place. Very prompt
he started busting the old pill wit
Just rs much abandon as did the Bah
himself. Babe may have got ther
further, but he got them no oftene
Then to add TO the good fortun
Mcmillan pulled down one long driy
in Washington that saved game an
showed himself a fielding wonder. O
the bases he is a peach. Fans VII
have seen this boy work are begiI
ming to wonder whether Higgins ca
bench him with impunity even whC
the two members OF Murderers' Ro
return.
There you are. Local clubs ha'
picked up five budding stars alreaC
and the benches are still crowded wi
recruits waiting for a chance to kno'
some other vet out OF a job
In the past the Giants often ha'
gone four years without developing
new regular. The Yanks and Broo
lyn have gone Just as long. or long'
II a baseball manager got one play
out OF ten recruits in the past
considered himself lucky. That,
fact, was above the average.
Lady Luck has sort OF smiled
our home boys this time.
The evening world., 1922-04-18

Another feature of this break of
spring luck that appeals especially to
the owners Is that but one of these
new heroes Is a high priced fellow
McGraw is reported to have paid
around $4,000 in money and cast off
players for SINNERS. The others all
have come cheap-have been picked
up out Of the heap.
Mcmillan, De Berry. High and
Vance altogether did not cost as much
as some individual player in the past
who turned out n bust.
Mcmillan originally belonged to the
Yanks, but was sent to Rochester for
another year OF seasoning. He GER
tninly got 1t.
Andy High was a clean pickup. The
chances are he didn't cost Ebbets
one fourth Of what Marty O'Toole,
the pitching bust Of history, cost Bar
ney Dreyfus. Pittsburgh paid $22, SOC
for O'Toole. High simply came UP In
the net when the Robin scouts
dragged the bushes.
Now that Lady Luck is around Tho
| Giants will take one more crack Al
the Braves this afternoon, weather
man being willing. The Champs
hated TO lose that chance OF commit
ting murder. But they didn't eros
Lady Luck by making a holler.
