If outfield strength were all tina:

order for the bunting right now.
Fish. Barrett, Archdeacon, Hooper,
Mostil and Bib Falk are all crashing
the apple at a great rate and cOler-
ing ground like circus tent. In
fortunately, Collins needs. sharp
fielding from the inner Gordon and
effective box work in order to
capitalize on his outfield strength.
Red F'aber admits his arm is .. K.
and that the Sox are going to have
pretty good team this season.
Red made up his mind about the
condition Of his arm after putting
it to the test and he offered his

taking note of all the athletes that

Faber Is man of few words, and
even those few usually are delivered

If you compare the outfits man

argument, but the Senators played
baseball all last season and the Sox

D DAY BOWE n
BOUT HEADS
CARD
Capacity Throng Expected at
Washington Barracks
Show Tonight

Eddie Bowen, the Fighting
Fool" younger brother of Andy
Bowen, a prime ring favorite in
Washington, battles the rugged
Terry O'Day in the feature ten
round bout of tonight's all-star
show at Washington Barracks and
there is expected to be a capacity
throng on hand.
Bowen and O'Day are to weigh
in at 1872 pounds at o'clock. This
weight suits the veteran, O'Day,
better than his younger oppon INT.
Bowen will give away at least four
pounds. That doesn't worry him,
however. He believes he will
make this up by the power Of his
punch.
O'Day's followers from the Mo-
hawk Club, from Rob Roy Mackay
down to the veriest unknown, will
be on hand to root for him. O'Day
hopes to win and displace Bowen
in the admiration of the ring fans
of the Capital.
The semi-final, also of ten rounds,
will see Jack Turner making the
fight Of his life to remain in the
limelight. He is matched with a
tough nut, though, Johnny Nc
LauSnl1ns OF TnltaO0lpHld. H0
Quaker has stayed the limit three
times with the redoubtable Johnny
Gill, of York, Pa, and he believes
he will prove too much for the
Barracks soldier.
Al Foreman, of Fort Myer, win
ner of his last three contests inside
the limit, and Kid Julian, the Bal
timore veteran, mingle in the first
ten-round bout Of the all-star pro-
gram. Foreman has been advancing
rapidly and hopes to stop Julian.
A speedy bantam battle between
frankie Sullivan, the Maryland
guardsman from Baltimore, and
Jimmy Gardener, of Washington,
will open tonight's show, following
a concert by the Barracks band.
Both little fellows are fast work
ers and hard hitters.

George Mogridge permitted four

wild and ineffective, giving four

DECIDING
BASKETBALL
GAME
AIoysius and Corby Teams
Furnish Feature at Arcade
Sunday

Professional basketball players
will step aside on Sunday night
when the Aloysius-Corby teams take
the floor at the Arcade Auditorium
in the third and deciding game Of
the title series.
Palace Club, which recently lost
a one-point decision to the famous
Celtics, is meeting the famous Bal
timore Medicos in the curtain raiser
on Sunday.
There is every indication that
the final game on Sunday will be
featured with several novelties. In
the first place the Palace Club will
be lined up for the final appeal
ance and the orchestra will play
taps" The gang" which has
made a great hit with local fol-
lowers will be given a great fare
well.
In taking on the Baltimore
Medicos the Palace Players are
meeting a club that has scored a
S3-to-32 win over the locals in early
season. With Hollow, Mccarthy,
Voith, Waxman, Barrett, McCrack-
en- and LentZ, the Medicos have a
stout aggregation.
Aloysius and Corby players are
not ceasing their court activities
in any way. In the first meeting
the Alloy lads ran away from the
Corby players. In the second meet
ing the Corby lads went the limit
for their win.
Sundays engagement Is bringing
the two smart teams into action
for the third and final engagement
in which considerable action is
expected. Coach George Colliflower
warmed his lads up against the
Stantons last Sunday and is spend
ing the week in workouts in the
Alloy gym.
1t is expected that Joe Deering
will handle the engagement aAusu,I
although there has been talk of
bringing out-of,town officials for
the engagement. The teams will
meet this week to talk over final
details of the meeting.

DE FOREST BID
ONE GRAND
GESTURE
Dempsey Wills Proposition
Sounds Good, But May
Mean Nothing
By SID MERCER.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-Jimmy
DeForest's bid for the Jack Demp-
sey-Harry Wills championship con-
test on behalf Of the Polo Grounds
A. c., is magnificent gesture but
will probably never develop into
anything else.
DeForest wired his bid to Jack
Kearns in Chicago where Kearns is
due today. Jimmy says he will
top any offer Tex Richard or the
Henderson Stadium Inc, will make
and processes to believe that Kearns
is not tied up with any promoter
and is willing to accept the highest
bid.
Guarantees are illegal in this
State but Dempsey will be sure Of
getting more than 100000 any
time he steps in a ring with Wills.
The New York Baseball Club will
control boxing at the Polo Grounds,
but the only big, matches IN sight
are the same ones that Richard
and Henderson already claim. De-
Forest says he will make offers 20
Gibbons, Tunney, Berlenbach, De-
Laney, Walker, Kaplan, Martin,
Villa and others.
Already there are more big out
door arenas than big matches. AS
the Polo Grounds management will
bid only on big bouts, the chances
are that not more than ons or two
shows will be held there next sum-
mer.
A Gibbons-Tunney match now
looms up as an early summer at
traction il Wills does not consent
to meet Gibbons.

apparently Butler has a lot Of

Both Connolly and Nurmi. who
have become almost inseparable
companions, have done lot OF
quick lunch eating lately in the
course of their jumps from town
to town.
II never saw a fellow who liked
coffee and ice cream more than
'Nurmi," Jimmy remarked. He
bore witness to the published
fact that PaAvO drinks anywhere
from six to ten cups of coffee a
day and eats three or four plates
of ice cream.
Connolly runs in nearly all the
races Nurmi struts and will &C
company him on his Western tour
if the Firms present ailment does
not upset his plans. Paavo calls
Jimmy "Zhimmy," giving the ~
a twist somewhat alcoholic.
According to Zhimmy, Paavo had
intended to run the mile last night
in 4 minutes and II seconds. The
Washington runner related how
Paavo made an error when he re-
Gently set a new mile record at
Buffalo, which was equalled by
Jole Kay last night.
He had intended to clip only
twO-fifthS ,Of a second off the
existing record held by Lloyd
Hahn. 4.13.2. PaavO reeled off
the first quarter in 1:OI: the
half in 2:O2 and the three-quarters
i'm 800.
These are fast times for runners
who specialize in the quarter, halt
and three-quarters and are nearly
all in at the finish. And Nurmi
was travelling faster than he in
tended. He noticed this on glancing
at his stop watch when a lap or
two from the finish-and slowed
down.
Paayo was a surprised runner
when told has time was 4:12, sur
prised that his usually split, second
accuracy in judging pace had slip
ped him.
1t was Nurmi's plan to clip a
second from the record every time
he ran the mile. Having run 4:12
at Buffalo, his race in New York
last night was to have been run
in ALL. which he believed would
win. According to Connolly, Nurmi
had planned to shove down the
record, bit by bit, to 4:06 or 4:07.
