GIRLS
WIN TANK
MEET
By jack MARTIN.

The girls of the Capital Athletic
Club won first place in the South
Atlantic Swimming meet at the
Congressional Country Club.
Through attentive coaching and
constant practice the relay team
composed of Florence SHADING,
Esther Taylor, Ena Pettingill, and
lone Whaler Sprang a surprise on
the Baltimore Y. w. C. A. and
Maryland Swimming Clubs by
taking the 160-yard swim. True to
predictions, Ena Pettingill captured
the fifty-yard free style, while
Florence SHADING didn't waste
much time in breaking the surface
away ahead of the rest in her
speciality, the breast-stroke race.
Under the expert tutelage Of Miss
SHADING, Winifred Faunce is well
on her way to be a champion diver,
for after one seasons work. she
came in third in the national junior
diving event, and second in the
same event under South Atlantic
classification.
The national Junior 10O-yard free
style was again won by Olive Filler,
of the Ambassador Swimming Club,
Of Atlantic City, while Gladys
Bowen, Marie Susemihl and Olive
Warner, all representing the BaIti-
more "Y" Club, took respectively
the South Atlantic 100-yard free
style, the plung for distance, and
the 100-yard backstroke.
The summary of the events gave
81 points to the Capital Athletic
Club, 81 points to the Baltimore
Swimming Club, ard 10 TALES to
the Maryland Swimming Club.

DUE
IN BOXING
MIDDLE
By DAVIS J. WALSH,
TnkarwaAsowaI prarwn aa-wsna

/ NEW YORK, March SO-That the
promised showdown in the heavy
weight situation will develop within
the next forty-eight hours was fore
cast today by the fact that Eddie
Kane, man OF business for Tom
Gibbons, was speeding east toward
a final rendezvous with local pro-
moters, while Paddy Mullins, man
ager OF Harry Wills was reaffirn-
ing his promise to come out uf the
silence by Wednesday. Accompany
ing Kane is Jimmy deForrest,
matchmaker for the Polo Grounds,
who wants Gibbons for q bout with
Gene Tunney and may get him II
the Wills proposition pulls up lame.
The important money for GioboAs
Is in the Wills match, for which
he probably can get as high as
$3.50 900. He would be doing ex-
tremely well to Gull half that sum
from the proceeds Of Tunney
bout.
Kane, in fact has already made
known his stand by declaring that
Gibbons is ready to daily with
Wills at the drop of the doughbag.
DeForrest made the trip to Chi
cago with the idea Of beating the
milk fund promoters to the punch
but Kane's foot work was dazzling.
He merely agreed to a Tunney bout
in the event that the Wills fight
fails to materialize.
That has left the matter in the
hands OF the <obdurate Mullins, who
is waiting for a Dempsey match
and is in a fair way to get flat
feet. Inspired oratory has been
squandered on Patrick in an effort
to convince him that a bird in the
hand is worth two in the movies,
and at last reports he was begin
ming to weaken.
His final word today was that
he would give a definite answer to
Tex Richard, acting on behalf OF
the milk fund show on Wednesday.
Richard Is to come up for SEN
tence in Trenton today on his con-
viction for transporting the Demp-
sey- Carpenter pictures from one
State to another. Richard will APP
peal IL the verdict is a severe one.
In any case his thoughts on
Wednesday are likely to be some
what extraneous as far as affairs
of the fist are concerned.
If not, the Mullins decision will
be taken up in detail, and from
that point the jockeying will begin.
It is understood that Mullins wants
$500, 900 for Wills end Of a Glib
bons bout and has about as much
a chance as one-eyed Connolly on
a sightseeing tour.

McTIGUE OUT OF RING
FOR A LONG TIME YET

NEW YORK, March 30.-It was
learned today that it will be an
other three months before the bowld
Moike McTigue can lace a glove on
his hands again. The world light
heavyweight champion has an ap-
pointment with surgeon tomorrow
to have a bone removed from the
right paw. He bobbed up with the
injury after the Mickey Walker
scrap.
When he is ready to go, Charlie
Rose, one OF his managers, says
Mike will be glad to accommodate
either Paul Berlenbach or Jack
Delaney. "Tunney is out Of the
question because he can no longer
make 175 pounds" insisted dapper
Charlie.

Either way you look at the
proposed bout it figures to be a
bust.
If you admit that Dempsey
carried" Gibbons, as he did,
there isn't any satisfaction to be
gained by going out to see him
bowl Tom over.
If you don't admit this, but be-
lieve Gibbons was too smart and
ran away from Jacks punches, it
is hardly likely that you'll be in
q hurry to see him run away
again.
We like the idea which Kane IS
trying to put over now - that
Dempsey is afraid of Gibbons.
That's funny line. If Dempsey
is afraid of Gibbons, it is because
he's AFRAID HE CAN'T, HOLD
