NET STAR To
COMPETE
Miss Leslie Bancroft Has Eye
Upon Wimbledon Tennis
Play.

BOSTON, Jan. 27.-The United
States will not be without high class
representation in the women's ten
mis- championship play at Wimble-
don, England, in June. notwithstand-
ing the announcement by Mrs.
Molla Bjurstedt Mallory. Americas
champion, that she would not play
there this year.
It became known today that Miss
Leslie Bancroft, of this city, rank
ed second to Mrs. Mallory among
the women players of the country
and the leading American-born WON
an player, had decided to campaign
abroad this spring, following the
circuit of events that lead up to the
worlds turf court championships
at Wimbledon.
Miss Igtncroft. a youthful left
hand player whose rise in the play
of last season was remarkable, will
have as playing companion Miss
Eleanora Sears, a star of other
years.
They will sail from New York on
March 20 and will play first in a
tournament at Cannes, starting
April 2. The worlds hard court
championship at St. Cloud will have
both the American women as con-
testants. Miss Bancroft's final
tournament appearance in this coun-
try before she starts abroad will
be at the Brooklyn Heights Casino,
beginning next Monday.
Miss Bancroft. in discussing her
plans today, said she had no very
high hopes of honors to be gained.
"You know" she remarked. Edith
Sigourney has told us that there are
fifty English women players about
on a par with an average player in
Americas first ten realize that
nv game is still far from perfect
and the opportunity for experience
will be decidedly worth while"
Miss Sigourney accompanied Mrs
Mallory on her recent trips abroad
Miss Bancroft's entry into compet
tive tennis was made only three
years ago. She ranked twelfth in
1920. eighth in 1921 and second in
1922. In twenty tournaments last
year she won eight, reached the
final in five others and six times
was put out only in the semi-final
round OF the score Of matches
which she played last season Miss
Bancroft lost only twelve, seven of
them to Mrs. Mallory.

Only One Fight for Dempsey.
TN making his blanket offer for
three fights at the Polo
Grounds, Tom O'Rourke
assumes that he could have his
choice of dates. He says he can
squeeze in three big open-air
fights between May and October.
Perhaps he can, but the intake will
not be the $2,00O,OOO that Tom
figures on unless he covers the
entire playing field with seats.
The difficulties of staging big
championship fights at baseball
parks in the day time, and their
exclusion from holiday dates, has
been pointed out.
Dempsey probably will have only
one fight here next summer. If
he needs any tuning up he can
get it across the pond with Joe
Beckett. The moment he signs for
bout with Harry Wills he will be
tied up so that he cannot fight
anybody else.
And he won't sign for some
time. Jack Kearns was only jest
ing when he threatened to take
his champion right over to Lon
don if the local promoters did not
come and see him within twenty
four hours.
With at least three and possibly
four different sets of promoters
shuffling bids, Kearns and Demp-
sey can afford to stall.

Probst nor Kelly, both coming from
extremely low-class leagues, will
make much of an impression upon
Clark Griffith or DOME Bush. In
that case they will soon drop out
of the running as candidates for
big-league berths and, when the
training camp breaks up, each
will be shipped back to his club
for further seasoning. This is the
usual manner of procedure.
Joe Cantillon, sadly in need of
infielders, has an agreement with
Clark Griffith to send him some re.
endorsements as soon as decisions
have been reached regarding the
class of the candidates for the
Griffmen. He admits he would like
Ossie Bluege, who looked the real
thing with the Millers last season.
He will get him, too, unless the
smart-fielding lad shows added
strength at bat.
Personally, without seeing him
in action at Tampa, we lean toward
joey Evans, obtained from Cleve-
land in exchange for Turkey
Brewer, as the Washington third
sacker. Evans likes to play third
base. He is an excellent workman
Of foot than probably any OF the
other candidates. In addition, he
has big-league experience.
There is this to be said for
Evans; he does not have to play
baseball. He has agreed to play
for the Washington club for at
least two years, II he makes good.
He will hardly consider himself
making good If he is merely an
alternating Outfielder. That's
what he was i'm Cleveland and
he was preparing to retire and
practice medicine.
OF course there il always a chance
that Evans may make for himself q
regular berth in the outfield. Wade
and Fisher, the two rookie gardeners
going to Tampa for trials, may fail
to impress Clark Griffith, in which
case Evans will have place, for he
is a smart, speedy outfielder with a
beautiful throwing arm.
But considering the known weak.
nesses of Shanks, La Motto, and
Bluege, with the unknown and pos
sible weaknesses of Probst and
Kelly, Joey Evans should have a
soft time of it making a berth for
himself at third base. He knows
baseball. is fast on his feet, both in
the field and on the bases, and has a
strong throwing arm. In the event
that either Wade Of Fisher hang on,
Evans will quite likely be the final
choice for third base this coming
season.
With Evans making good in the
infield, Joe Cantillon may obtain
both Bluege and La Motto. not to
mention Conroy. That will give him
an infield worthy of the best in his
circuit.
There is always a delightful doubt
about prospective ball players in
January. They always look far, far
better than they do in May. On this
account it is ridiculous to prophesy
just who will make up the Griffs'
infield, or outfield, either, for that
matter, or the catching staff or
, the mound corps. 1t is all in the
laps of the gods.
