Coffr0th to
Meet Kearns

San Diego, March 2s.-Jsmes w.
crofroth. president Of the Tiajuana
Jockey club said Thursday night he
expected to mold a conference with
Jack Kearns, manager of Champion
Jack Dempsey. some time Sunday. in
. regard to the staging of bout be-
tween the champion and Harry Wills
in Tiajuana. Until that time, how
ever. he said no announcements could
be made further than his statement

tora title fight at Tiajuana."
An early December date will be the
most preferable for holding the fight,

ularity and while they are doing the
same the club will look good.
But when the Robin chueking
is getting nudged, the club, unless
some big changes are made, will
look very much in the cellar class.
Uncle WiIbert Robinson needs =
couple of infielders.
Uncle WiIbert has pretty good
catchers and a good enough outfielf
to go along with his fine pitchers
and his club will hit pretty well. but
his infield needs bolstering, and the
chubby manager knows IL.
Just at present he is trying TO
make one OF those deals with Branch
Hickey for Milton Stock. Branch
wants a catcher badly, but he wants
one for nothing. But Bobby Is still
hoping for action. He figures that
with Mike Gonzales lingering about
he can dispose of either Taylor or
De Berry to Hickey, and not weaken
himself.
While this deal Is pending. moth
ing is being done about Johnny
Jones. the Portland Pacific short
stop. The Dodgers bought Johnny
for S25 900 last winter. lie refused
10 sign up until he gets chunk
of the purchase money.
Jimmy Johnston, good thirn
baseman. is on short at present. II
Stock doesn't arrive Jimmy will 60
back to third and Mr.. Jones will be
brought from Toledo.
Just now Andy High is parked on
third, and the experts don't figure
he will fill the bill. Joe Klugnnan OF
Des Moines is playing second. He is
good prospect. but isn't experienced
enough.
The Robinson outfield will have
Wheat in left, Neis i'm center and
Tommy Griffith and Simpson from
the Eastern league swapping
around in right. Simpson poled out
IL homers last summer i'm New
England. but they claim he will
not be able 10 bother big league
pitching.
In addition TO three star Fingers,
the Dodgers have young Dickerman.
who won eight in row last summer
and who looks better than ever this
spring, as well as Decatur. a very
promising 1923 performer. They also
have several good rockies.
Uncle WiIbert will have the best
pitching staff in the National
league. But after that he will have
to build up generally to haul his
club higher than sixth.

Congressman Speaks Before
 Talladega Rotary Club

TALLADEGA, Ala, Aug. 1.-(Spe- eial. .)-FavOrable comment on the pro- posed consolidation of soldiers homes and hospitals for disabled veterans of the World war was spoken by Congress- man Lamar Jeffers before the Rotary club today.
 Congressman Jefers said that there had been a new committee in Congress to handle legislation for ex-service men and that one of the questions before it was the hospital situation. There are many soldiers homes for veterans of the Civil war under the old soldiers home commission.
 Mir. Jeffers also spoke of congress mans duties, saying that when Con- greSs was not in sesiOn a cOngresman was not sitting home idle but he was busy in governmental matters or visit ing the people in his district and con- terring with them as to what they want ed done or securing information for them.
 There are 435 offices in the House office building in Washington and there is at least one that belongs to ev- cry person in district" said Mir. lief fers. There is no need when a per son wants anything from his congress- man or wants information of having someone write a letter for him. All he has to do is to sit down himself and write and he will be given considera- tiOn."
