Beef Exhibition at Tanks Park Attracting Interest
 Of Fans

NEW YORK. April 9.-From thts minute until the last echoes of the ul- innate osky-wow-woWS have died away in late November, there will be hardly an hour when something of large importance is not impending or coming to pass in somebody's iavorite sport.
 Vincent Richards has just passed through the national indoor tennis tournament and contracted another title. In a little more than q week the long pent cries of those who pat ronize the chain store baseball will rise high and slap the welkin. By that time the international beef eX- position, featuring the bull from the pampas. will be loudly imminent at the Yankees baseball park and Jack Dempsey will be scouting tAe crit ters exhibited there with an eye to a match for himself later on in the summer.
 There are the Penn relays and those at Drake in Des Moines,6 and the other collegiate track and field meets. Charlie Paddock will pass 1 through Chicago and give, perhaps, that threatened dem onstration of the leg work which covered five yards in nothing flat, according to one of the clock, opt in California. Then Pad clock. out in California Then Pad-
 
 iegiate meet. There will be other in ternational track and field meets in stockholm, and. perhaps, in B rlin.

 Races nt Jamaica.
 On May . the races begin at Ja- maica. opening the New York season. Then comes the Kentucky derby as first of the really big races of the year.
 The United States Lawn >elinis as soclatlon announces a schedule of more than 200 sanctioned tourna- ments throughout the land and there will De perhaps another hundred 10 add 10 these in q subsequent bulletin. Among those so far arranged there are nearly 20 in which national or minor championships will be in- volved.
 Mrs. Mallory. in view of her fre- quent defeats by players of TO par ticular rank on the Riviera. will be q greater drawing card than ever when she defends her American title at Forest Hills, l.. l., beginning Au- gust 3l. Some of the people will go to see her win. More will go to see her lose. especially if she meets Helen Wills Of California for the title this time.
 The European first round of the Davis cup competition will be over by June and interest in the team championship of the world will be warming again. After the challenge round at Forest Hills, starting Au- gust 31, William T. Tilden will de- fenG his world championship at Ger mantoWn, and here again there will be the chance of seeing champion sent to his knees, for Tilden has lost finger and he was sevarely trou- bled to hold his title last year with whole hand. There would be no gloating, however over the van punishment of Tilden. He has been a generous, friendly champion, whose fall would evoke sentimental edi- torials next to discussions of the world court.
 In World Of Golf.
 And then there's golf-the Walker cup team championship to be played in England, the British amateur and open and the American amateur, open and professional tournaments, the Women's championship at Rye in the fall and miscellaneous other tournaments to keep golf prominent upon the sport pages in the intervals between the national events.
 Then make way for the world se- ries and, closely pursuing that ath- letic spectacle, the football season with inter-sectional games more nu- merous even than last year.
 Sprinkle in some boat races crew races and championship prize fights This program ought to tweak every mans interest at least once this season.
