City Leaguers Will Try Con- clusions With Clothier's Pets to Settle Rivalry.

Manager Billy March of the Pi- rates baseball team is in high glee today for, he announced this morn ing, he has succeeded in arranging a game between his club and the Besse- leland nine to be played next Sun day afternoon at St. Mary's field. Just who the pitching choice will be, Bill has not decided-nor will he most likely as most things of this nature are left to the clubs veteran mentor, Charlie Miller. The Bosses also have not picked their boxman.
 The Pirates have long been casting envious eyes at the schedule of Man ager Harold Campbell of the Bosses and have not been at al backward in proclaiming that thy are the equal, of the clothier's pets.
 AS a result of the speculation among players and partisan fans there has sprung up a strong rivalry and Sundays game will be to settle the question of whether the Pirates or the Bosses are the better team.
 Each club has some mighty good players on it and a good game is ex- pected. Beagle, the flashy first base man of the Pirates, will have a man of tough mettle to buck against when he lines up against Ray Begley, the Besse captain. Beagle is but a boy in years and a member of the High school team but fields well and hits well. Ray, however, is older in years and baseball experience and hits as we'll if not better. It will be interesting to watch the way this vet eran and youth play Sunday. On second base there is little question that Nom Begley has the edge of Morelli. Green. at the dizzy corner, is a veteran of ability and probably

Therefore Tex Rickard Announces Dempsey -Firpo Bout Probably Will Go to South American City.

New York, July 17.-Hopes of Americas fight fans that they would be able to witness the proposed bat tie between Jack Dempsey and Luis Angel Firpo for the heavyweight title took a slump today following the announcement last night by Pro- moter Tex Rickard that definite plans were being made for staging the match in Buenos Aires.
 Rickard has had agents looking over South America, and he stated that conservative estimate of the cash to be received for bout between Firpo and the champion in South America was about sSOO,O00. The exact nature of the proposition was not learned but 1t is believed that it embraced a percentage proposition that would assure the champion and his manager at least S5oo,oo0.

America has been affiliated with the International Shooting Union since 1906. But owing to the European style of free shooting, entirely for eign to the Yankees, no teams were sent abroad until the resumption of competition two years ago.
 Beat At Own Game
 An American team was recruited hurriedly and equipped and dis patched to Lyons, France. To the surprise of even most of the Ameri- cans, the Swiss were defeated at their own brand of work.
 That performance was repeated again last year at Milan, despite every conceivable handicap in trans porting American rifles and ammuni- ton from Cherbourg to Coblenz and thence to Milan.
 The Palma Trophy, awarded first in 1876 and won then by the United States, really perpetuates the matches between Ireland and America. Tank teams won it again in 1877 and re- tained it until 1901.
 Great Britain and Canada each had it for a while. It came back to this country in 1913.
 Many standing records probably will be shattered here in September. Since the war, the rifle has gained thousands of new friends.
