KAPLAN RETURNS
 READY ID FIGHT
Says He's Fit to Take on Any Challenger

New York, April 4.--Art.,las of agreement for featherweight title bout between LouiA C'Kid') Kaplan Of Meriden. Conn, recognized sS champion by the New York state boxing commission, and Edouard Mascaret, European titleholder, were 10 be signed today at noon, Promoter Tex Rickard announced last night.
 Rickard proposes tc stage the match on May 5, in Madison Square Garden. Fiftsen rounds to a decision will be required by the contracts, Rickard said.
 A conference between managers of inc two boxers yesterday resulted Tn the completion of many of the Jc- tails for the bout. Lew Burston rep resented Mascart, while ."Scotty" Monteith negotiated for Kaplan.
 Kaplan obtained recognition as champion in this state by his victory in an elimination title tournament.
 He expects 10 encounter 30 diff. eulty in getting down to 126 pounds, he claimed, since he has done it be- fore in the cold weather, and can easily do it again. Arrangements for the bout in New York--which will be the last show in Madison Square Garden before t is torn down have not been completed, he said. but it is fairly certain that he will take on either Dundee or the French champion, Mascart.

MANAGERS SPEAK
 OF THEIR TEAMS
Robinson Hopes to Beat Out
 Giants This Year

Following are statements issued
 by the managers of the National
 League clubs on the outlook far tho
 coming season:
 John McGraw. New York--I am
 deslrous of winning my fifth copse- cutiVe rennant and feel that my team will be able to turn the trick
 on the whole the club is stronger than last season. Several of my NonnE pitchers are about ready to come through.
 Wilbert Robinson. Brooklyn--Now York only beat my club one and one haIf games last season and I hope to again make the going as hard. If my pitchers deliver for me as they did last season, Brooklyn will force the Giants to step their fastest to win.
 Bill killefer, Chicago--I am posi- tive the trade with Pittsburg last winter plugged up the weak spots on my club and supplied a pennsnt punch. Maranrille and Grimm will make my infeld and Cooper is stin 3 great pitcher, at his best in a pinch. Msranville's injury will of course hurt US during She early weeks Of the season, but am hoping hell return okay.
 Bill MCKoehnie, Pittsburg-The Pirates have been knocking at the pennant door for years and may open 1t this summer. I realize the experts feel I was worsted in the Chicago trade. but I am willing 10 stand pat and let the summers showing decide the issue.
 Jack Hendricks, Cincinnati-I feel that the Reds are going to jolt the critics who have already consigned my club to q place in the second di- vision. The Reds have the strength to win a place in the first division. Our pitching alone should do that.
 Branch Hickey. St. Louis--For several years the Cardinals have not lived up to my preseason predictions, 20 this year l am going to play 1t sate and mercy say that we are at the first division and hope to finish there. My club is l much the, same as last year.
 Dave Bancroft Boston--I am 1 that my reconstructed in- field will supply defensive strength that was lacking last season. While I realize it will be rather inexperi- enced, yet I am positive it VII be more capable. I don't want to finish last.
 Art Fletcher, Phiadelphia-My | chief thought at present is not where | my team will finish, but what suc- cess will have in developing play CTS who measure up to the major | league standards. It is q slow job to | nlake over 8 big league club, as Connie Mack can testify.

DODGERS AGAIN
 FALL ID TANKS
Game Is Featured by Terrific
 m. Batting Bee

New York, April 4.-Fifteen hit failed to win the ninth game of tn, series with the Yankees for tho Brooklyn Dodgers yesterday at At. 1 lanta, Ga. That total came within an acc of being twice as many az the Huggins clan could collect, yet because the New York battors com piled their seven safe drives within 'the two closing innings, they were able 10 obtain the edge in the test, [ to 5.
 For six innings Babe Ruth and company failed to score. Petty, a newcomer from Indianapolis, had the lfardhitting former American league champions fruitlessly pursu- ing his curves around the battcr's box for five Of those six innings, In the sixth Schwartz took up the mound assignment and went along nicely for one inning but Manager Robinson Was obliged to hurry to his rescue III the seventh when the Yankee bats started to rain base hits all over the park.
 With the score 4 to 3 against them, the Dodgers rallied desperate ly-at least two Of them did. With Fournier on, Johnston, dropped one over the outfield wall, and forced the Yankees to grind out another batch of tallies in tha eighth ~to give them one game advantage, in the series , to 1, rS'-
 A welcome rain gave tie Giant players rest in the series with the Memphis team Of the Southern league. but Manager McGraw partly filled the holiday gap with an an nouncement that he plans 10 carry ten pitchers into the National league race for his fifth pennant. Tn addition 10 Bentley, Nehf, McQuiI- Ian, Ryan, Barnes Scott, Dean and Maun he expects to retain two out of q string of several recruits.

LEFTY GROVES

Ft. Myers, Fla, Aprl 3.-Connie Mack is hopeful that Lefty" Groves will prove to be a second Eddie Plank. Not since the Gettysburg collegian passed from the big league have the Athletics boasted a star southpaw. Groves looks the part.
 Groves has great natural ability. Poise and control will make him a second Waddell. expect big things from him and don't believe I will be disappointed" says Mack.
 Groves best bet is his fast ball. Here we have him pictured starting his windup, letting the ball go and his follow through.

LOOKS LIKE TANKS
Concensus of Opinion is that New York Americans Have Great Chance to Repeat.

New York, April 4.--Who will win the pennant in the American league in 1925?
 The consensus of the managers, as gleaned during the spring training trip, is that the Yankees after being defeated in 1924 will come back to win this season. The Detroit Tygers are favored over the world champs, Washington, for second place. Many of the managers figure the Tygers a strong e rteam than the Yankes,e but for various reasons do not think Cobb's club will win,
 Here is the result of vote of the managers taken prior to the opening of the season:
 1. New York Yankees. ,. Detroit Tygers.
 ]. Washington Nationals.
 4. Philadelphia Athletics,
 !. St. Louis Browns.
 6. Cleveland Indians.
 :. Chicago White Sox
 s. Boston Red Sox.

|G|ANTS SEEM TO
 BE BEST IN NAT.
Preseason Outlook is for Them /, to Repeat r
(Br BILLY EvANs)


 The most impressive team I have seen in my tour of the major league camps is the New York Giants.
 There arc many reasons for such a statement.
 Watching the Giants at practice or playing an exhibition game you marvel at the spirit of tho club. There is a dash to the play that is lacking in most Of the camps. From Frisch. the outstanding star, to the lowliest recruit, sthere Is an enthusiasm that makes for pennants. Tho Giants are never beaten until it is all over and'the score sheet shows that the opposition has the most runs.
 Spirit of Confidence Noted
 There is a spirit of confidence, the will to win, that makes McGraw's club stand out. That is the only kind of team McGraw will foster. The players merely reflect the spirit of the manager. fight to the last.
 The Giants look to be the class of the National league by comfortable margin. I do not think McGraw will experience any great trouble in winning his fifth consecutive pen pant,
 While McGraw is not at all boast ful about the possibilities of. his club, he is confident that barring an unusual run of bad luck he should win. He says:
 My club is stronger than last year, The lineup is the same with the exception of John Watson. pitcher, who has passed on to the minors. His loss will not be felt.
 My second-string pitchers of last year, Dean, Maun and Baldwin are certain to show improved form. The seasoning of last year will help them considerably
 "Wisner is a great pitching pros- pect. I am sure he will win for me. John Scott who has performed several comebacks. looks in as good shape as he ever did in his entire career. am banking on Scott to help me. if only in relief roles.
 'As to reserves I am in much better shape than last year. have six outffelders in Wilson, Meusel Young, Walker. Southworth and Kelly. aIn the infield have cap able subs in Terry and Lindstrom. The latter can play third or short while Kelly can shift to second. I have four catchers, the veterans. Snyder and Gowdy. and as extra men, Hartley and Devlne. T know rival National league managers don't look on my pitching staff with great favor, but it suits me and is much better than general ly rated"
 Another thing that impresses you about the Giants is the fine physical condition of the club. McGraw drives his men. hard. He believes in taking advantage Of good weather. He is one of the few mana gers who has the two daily practice sessions.
 Team Ready for Opening
 The Giants are ready right now, They are 30 per cent farther ad- 'vanced than most of the other maiorA league clubs. McGraw wants to get away to a flying start. He re- gards games won in April as valu- able as those picked up in Septem- Der The troubles that have beset three other pennant contenders in the National league has helped the chances of New York.
 When Rabbit" Maranville broke hls leg. the Chicago Cubs lost a star who simply cannot be replaced. With him in the lineup the Cubs looked different, had a dash to their play that will be missing.
 The Giants look like the one best bet of the majors.

This Was the Tygers Unusual Rec
 ord in 1920 Season

OTu lU IdEU NcdSOn
 About the worst start major ltogue team ever got was that made by the Detroit Tyrers lTck in 1920. in Hughie Jennings last season as the manaeer.
 In is first IS games that cam paign, Detroit finished on the short rDd Of the score. Somehow or other the team couldn't get going, despite the fact that it was considered 10 he in pretty good shape after the spring training trip.
 Surely 1t was q disastrous begin ring and put the club so far behind right of the bat that the Tygers re- mainsd with the trailing outfits all season.

Tonight the arTliory will be the scene of a red hot inter.city basket ball clash when the Lyrics. runners tup fin the Hartford city series, meet the National Guards fin the fifth and deciding game of their series. To date, each team has won two games.
 The contest should be . sizzler from whistle to whistle, especially since tho Lyrics management prom lss to bring down Jimmy, Malcolm and Risky Feldman as forwards. A better working pair than these would be hard to find and Kildun and sheehan will have their hands full taking care of them. In the game with the West Sides Thursdsy night, these two boys made 34 of their teams 8 points, Fcldman shooting six out of 10 free tries as we'll as tossing in six field goals. Sammy Pite will hop center for the. visitors while Witlsin will cover Taylor and Cohen will take the right guard po- sition. -.- -..'4 ...
 New .Britain's lineup will not be definitely decided until the whistle blows, but of course sheehan and Kilduff will be at guard with Fay Tor at forward. Both Restelli and Reynolds will start the game. but which one will jump center and which will play forward has not been determined.
 There is little to choose between in trying to pick winner as each team is capable of the fastest kind of basketball. But one thing is cer- tain. If the guards play tonight as they did when they beat the Dixies a week ago, the Lyrics will not be able to stop them.
