 Landcrs-P. & F. Corbin
 The Landers team outslugged the P. &. F, Corbin team in the second game on Diamond No. 1 and won
 their first contest of the year by the score of IS to 12. Corbins clouted
 out three home runs during the game, Patrus hitting one with one
 man on. Jackson doing the same and Anastasio driving in two others ahead of him, but this didn't score enough runs to cut down a big lead
 piled up by the Universal team in the nine innings played.
 Landers got away to q good start
 when they scored three in the first inning. C. Huber walked, stolen sec ond and went to third when Ncster
 was safe on Cayanaugh's error. Beg ley and Goeb both went out on fly balls. Then Hubert and Nester rode
 home on Joe Fitzpatrick double into left field. MickeJ' Huber made a 1 hard try for the ball but missed it, I'itz stole third base and came home when Jackson threw wild to get him. i They scored again in the third on
 walk, Q single and put out at first.
 The Corbin batters couldn't do much with Holmberg until the third inning. Tn this frame, Joe Jasper got one of Holherg's fast one square on the head. "Niggs" Patrus then came up and busted one on q drive past Eddie Goeb in center field and he raced around the sacks before the ball could be relayed to the infield. It was a terrific hit that travelled far about five feet oft the ground and landed among the trees in cen ter field. This gave Corbins two runs.
 P. 6l F. came back in the fourth to score three more on another circuit drive, this one by Anastasio. Luke got on one an error and Conway singled. Then Anastasio drove the ball just where Patrus had put 1t and
 the three men scored.

 With Dempsey.

1 New York. June 1 lP-Fromoter Tex Rickard and his heavyweight championship plans, lately discussed in tho southland with Jack Dempsey are due in New York today.
 Jack has broadcast that he Is ready, even anxious, to dispose Of the long-standing challenge of the negro. Harry Wills, but word has preceded Rickard northward that Tex has decided upon Gene Tunney as the champions opponent in an opcn-air conflict next September. A formal announcement to that effect by Rickard is expected.
 , Observers here consider that Rickard holds the whip hand through his agreements with Demp- sey and Tunncy. Indication that Wills and Paddy Mullins. his mana ger, have been counted out of con sideration are seen in the fact that Hex has made no attempt 10 confer with Mullins, who took his veteran contender 10 the midwest yesterday for an exhibition contest.
 1 1T Richards anticipated an nounccment of TUnnoy as his choice meets with disapproval at the hands of the New York state athletic com mission, boxing men expect he will immediately announce Boyle's thirty acres, in Jersey City, x. J. as the scene of the conflict.
