Los Angeles, Calf April z+'- Paavo Nurmi, the globs-trotting' cinder-path flash, arrived in Los Angeles today for an appearance at the coliseum Saturday and between ovations from huzzaing sports fans made public through his manager the financial ins and outs of his American racing career.
 Sung by accusations emanating from Chicago to the effect that sl'- 800 had been demanded as the price for a Nurmi- -Ritola appearance in connection with the Drake relay carnival, at pes Moines, Iowa, Hugo Quist, the Finn's manager, denied categorically the $500 charge and explained in detail just how and how much Nurmi Is paid for his ex- penses as an amateur.
 The matter of Nurmis expenses is entirely in the hands of the New York office of the Amateur Athletic Union, Quist went on to explain.

Pinch Double in Ninth Scores Senator's Only Runs-Terrific Hitting Features Both Leagues Giants Take Sixth Straight 1

New York. April 24-Ruthless hit ting in both major leagues yesterday swelled team and individual aver ages at the expense Of no less than 29 pitchers without altering the po- sltions of the leaders.
 In only one game, a slab duel be- tween Robertson of the White SoX and Dauss of the Tigers, did less than three pitchers appear to stem the flow of sizzling drives which reached a maximum of S1 safe smashes in the Cleveland-St. Louis American game In five of the games, 23 or more hits were packed away in the average books.
 Every regular in the llne-ups of the New York Giants, the Cleveland Indians and the St Louis Browns, connected once or more, while IS hurlers were rushed to the slab in two National league games between Philadelphia and Brooklyn and Chi csgo and Pittsburgh.
 Quaker hopes for a big year re- eeiyed fresh impetus yesterday with the slugging bee won by the Phillies over the Robins, 10 to 8. making the fifth straight defeat of the Brooklyn club. The triumph earned the Fletcher entry a percentage tic for second place with Cincinnati. With the Athletics in 8 triple tie for the American league peak, Philadelphia fans celebrated the biggest day they have had since Connie Mack an nually presented them with a worlds championship series.
 The St. Louis Cardinals bent under q double blow yesterday in their de- feat at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds, ' to 2, when Rogers Hornsby, heavy hitting second baseman, was hit on the head by one of Adolfe Luuue's fast balls.

Dy Inv AppVSiahrU EEeb1-
 Madison. Wis, April .4.-Rowins at the University of Wisconsin was given such an impetus last spring when the varsity crew, sent to the Poughkeepsie regatta for the first time in several years, placed second. that the athletic council has decided this year to send east not only the varsity oarsmen. but also the fresh- man eight.
 Four varsity and three freshman crews are practicing daily on Lake Mendota in strenuous competition for places in the two shells.
 Although the season is still too early to make predictions regarding the Poughkeepsie regatta, according to Coach H. F. Vail, there is no question but that this seasons crew will not be ss seasoned and experi- enced as that which placed second last year.
 Only three men of last years eight are back. Places of those who were lost by graduation will have to be filled by men who have had one year, or in some cases two years. of rowing practice and little racing ex- perience. Some good material was developed in last years freshman crew. however.
 One problem facing Vail Is the development of man for the stroke position. Bentson, one of last years sregular, is being drilled daily for the vacancy,

DEMPSEY WILLING ID MEET WILLS Gives RiCkard Two Weeks to
 Arrange a Bout

New York, April 7t.-The eyes of the boxing world today were center cd upon Promoter Tex Rickard as the man whom Jack Dempsey has commissioned to bridge the zap be- tween the moving picture studio and the resin-coitsd battle ground of pugiltsm.
 Two weeks have been given Rick ard by the heavyweight champion to forge the link. Trusting in the matchmaker who carried him through the two biggest bouts of his career-with Willard at Toledo and Carpentier at Jersey City-Dempsey announced last night that he was ready to lay aside the role of actor to defend his title against Harry Wills, his negro challenger. provided Rickard would assure him tho match could be staged without interference.
 Dempsey made 1t plain that Rick ard would be his lone choice to handle the assignment. His exper- fence in the Shelby light with Tom Gibbons in contrast to the successful bouts he had under Richards pro- motions are considered as respon- sble for that attitude. Where the Carpenter and Willard matches were unquestioned successes from every point, the Gibbons affair was staged under uncertain conditions which not only made the match a financial problem for the promoters, but put Dempsey and his manager. Jack kearns, in what they consider ed as an embarrassing position.
 The champion announced that il Rickard could assure him a Wills match within the next two weeks and he announced that in his opin. ion the negro heavyweight was the outstanding contender for the title he would not let his contemplated honeymoon trip to Europe stand in the way of the contest. If Rickard fails 1t will be Europe and no heavy. weight title battle this year. he said
 Dempsey's requirement. for assur' ance that such a fight can be staged has arisen from series of disturb ing events. The dissension following the Jeffries-J ohnson bout, the lega effort made to stop the Carpenter fight in Jersey City, the sudder auietus put on Wilis-pempsey match in this state two years agc after the negro's challenge had beer filed with the boxing commission ant the objection of many to mixed matches has raised a well-foundet question of doubt in Denpsey's mint that the fight can be handled with out opposition.
 Rickard announced that he coult not sign Dempsey to fight Wills unti after the nsgro's forthcoming bou with Charley Weinert, of Newark.
 ''If Wills is defeated in that light I would have a hne light on m. hands should I arrange this matcl now, wouldn't r" said Rickard "rhe Wills-Weinert and Gibbons Tunney matches ought to provide real challenger and the one wh makes the best showing will got th match for the championship. Per sonally, I don't care who the maj is, I have Dempsey under contrac to fight for me, and he has assure me that, given three months to train he will be ready to enter the rin against the best man"

MUNN AND LEWIS i.
 MEET 0N MAY 30
But Former Will Not Get as
 Much as Originally Offered

Chicago. April 24,--When stanis- laus Zbyszko threw Wayne (BiE) Mum in Philadelphia recently, he not only obtained the worlds heavy weight wrestling title, but incidental ly cut the Nebraska giant out of the possibility of earning approximately $25.0o0.
 The sum represents the difference between Munn's share ofIthe purse In his scheduled $50, 1000 Decoration Day match with Ed (Strangler) Lewis at Michigan City. Ind, and what 1t might have been If negotis- tions started before his defeat had gone through.
 Promoter Floyd Fitzsimmons or iginally offered . guarantee of sso,- 900 for tho Munn-Lewis match when Mum held the title and had posted s3o,oo of that amount. An effort was made to- induce both Mum and Lewis to forego matches until the Michigan City event. Munn's failure to do 50 has cost him a pretty penny.
 With Mum . defeated champion, but with Lewis claiming he still holds the title. articles for the Munn- Lewis so, finally signed yesterday, call for a purse ot s3o,ooo, of which Lewis will get 50 per cent and Mum 40 per cent. Thus Munn's share will be s12,o0o. With the purse s6o, 900 and Mum still champion, he prob ably would have obtained the SO per cent or s3s.ooo.
 The diamond studded belt. en- ! blematic of the title, and valued at $10, 900. will be awarded the winner. Lewis has retained the belt since he was thrown by Mum at Kansas City, claiming that Mum should have been disqualified on foul.
 With the Michigan City bout ad- vsrtised for the title belt, no com ment has come from zbyszko. who apparently has severed relations with the western wrestling outfit. Zbyszko generally was believed 10 , have been a member of the west erners until he defeated Mum and since then his prospective matches have been arranged with wrestlers of tho eastern persuasion, He meets Renato Gardini at Philadelphia next Tuesday night.

(RY JOE WILLIAMSl

New York, April 24.-Unless Gene Tunney has improved tremendously since last fall he does not figure to take MT. Tommy Gibbons when the two coma together in June. (Al- though there seems to be growing belief in expert circles that the A. E. r. graduate is now first-class, grade-A fighting man,)
 As this writer views the match, Tunney will enjoy but one advan- tage. and that is youthfulness. 'He is some 10 years younger than the St. Paul 1rishman. This may or may not be important. In this par ticular case We don't think 1t is.
 Youthfulness is & fine quality to own. but it can be trumped. Old Bob Fitzsimmons didn't win the heavyweight championship until he was we'll along irsthe thlrties. Ere quently he met and beat formidable opponents who were 10 to IS years his junior.
 Champ at 3s.
 Jack Britton was the welterweight champion at 3S. For years he handled the debutante class of well ters as if they were novices. Even now the sport pages tell of the old ! mans occasional victories out in the hinterlands where he is picking up stray purses at the expense of bud ding local hopes.
 An astonishing feature about both Fitzsimmons and Britton is that neither of them ever paid any par ticular heed to the accepted rules of health. Fitzsimmons liked his liquor strong and straight, and he wasn't exactly adverse 10 midnight sessions of draw. Britton was q perfect carbon copy of him,
 But--and mark this difference well-Gibbons, who will be eonced- ing 10 years of precious youth to Tunney--never had drink in his lie!
 So much for that.
 Tho last time we saw Gibbons 1 fight was against Georges Carpenter at Michigan City. Ind. Coincident- ally, the last tine we saw Tunney fight was against the same French. man a month or so later at the Polo Grounds, New York. Gibbons won his fight on points, Tunney by . knockout.
 Against Gibbons, Carpenter fought A purely defensive fight and was on the run from start to finish Carpenter had two things in mind: CD he knew Gibbons was a hard hitter, and (2) he realized a knock. out would kill the later bout with Tunney. already booked.
 It Is not easy to knock out mar who Is continually running away from you. It is hard to reach hin with any kind of punch and wher you do land most of the force il missing. The fighter who stand straight up or comes tearing in Il most susceptible to the sleep blow. Fought Different Style
 Against Tunney Carpenter fouEh an entirely different type of battle Where he led but three times b, actual count all during the Gibbon fight, he was actually the aggreSo against Tunney, IL vas no part G a surprise. then, that Tunney even tually wore him down and seored . knockout.
 So In doping the coming fight be . tween Gibbons and Tunney, don pay too much attention to the fac , that Tunney scored a knockout an 5 Gibbons didn't.
 Personally, this writer believe . Gibbons would have stopped Carpen . tier whole lot quicker than Tunne r did If the Frenchman had bee
 willing to assume an aggressive al D titude.
