Tex Richard Has
New York Boxing
Commission Guessing

New York, April ~ (AP) - Tex
Richard, with the Yankee Stadium or
Boyle's Thirty Acres as available
arenas for his proposed Dempsey
Tunney match, has played his heavy
weight cards so skilfully that the
state athletic commission now must
change front or see a million dollar
title fight so to rival Jersey territory,
boxing observers asserted. a
The promoters latest manoeuvers
in gaining virtually monopoiistic
control Of the heavyweight situation
for 1925, have put the commission in
perpleXing, if not embarrassing po-
sition, it was pointed out.
AS matters stand now, the New
York solons have put their foot down
firmly on Dempsey Tunney negotia-
tons and chung consistently to their
demand that Harry Wills, giant negro
contender, be given first call for a
title bout with Dempsey.
On two occasions Richard and his
matchmaker, Jess McMahon, have
been Intercepted without tangible
result. The promoters answer, if
fistic signs can be read accurately,
has been to push his negotiations for
the Dempsey Tunney fracas without
taking Wills into consideration. In
fact, Richard, in so many words. has
said he does not care to promote a
Dempsey Wills encounter, this year,
pit any rate. And by having two
arenas available in rival states, either
capable of handling a million dollar
attraction, critics see the promoter
In an advantageous position.
Within the past few weeks, occa-
slonal suggestion has been made that
the commission may seek a loophole
which would enable it to eliminate
Wills from the picture temporarily
and pave the way for Tunney and
Dempsey to meet in this state. Con-
siderable political pressure, it has
been said. is being exerted toward
this end. At the same time, it is
pointed out, any alteration of the
commissions stand in espousing
Wills title challenge would leave it
conspicuously open to charges of in
consistency.
One alternative suggested is that
Wills and Tunney fight it out here
Ter the right to box Dempsey, thus
settling the status Of the two out
standing challengers, but Wills all
ready had rejected one opportunity
Tor such a test. His attitude has
been that he is entitled to first call
without any further preliminaries bv
having for several years proved his
right to the top challenging position.
1t is possible that some Of the at
mosphere may be cleared when the
commission holds its regular meet
ing next Tuesday. at which time
dates sought by Richard for Yankee
Stadium shows during the summer
are likely to be acted upon. He al
ready has said he prefers August IL
or September s for his big shot"
presumably the Dempsey Tunney
match.

Bath to Sponsor
Twilight Baseball
League This Summer
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Bath, April 2.-The citizens of Bath
will have their twilight league this
summer regardless Of whether or not
the efforts to get the city to adopt
daylight saving time is successful. 1t
was definitely decided Friday at a
meeting Of the Y. M. c. A. officials
that the Y. NJ. c. A. Twilight League
will be conducted and that games will
commence half-hour earlier, lasting
seven innings, and will be played on
Wednesday and Saturday afternoons
in place Of Tuesday and Thursday as
last summer. AS the merchants close
on Wednesday it was deemed the best
weekday for the games.
1t is expected that the same teams
will be entered, namely, the Y. M. c..
A., winners Of last years league, the
American Legion team, the Bath
Times Co. team, and the st. Mary's or
ganization. The st. Mary's outfit is
hard hit by the loss of Rev. Father
Devaney, young priest who was a
finished ball player and the mainstay
of their team last summer. He has
been shifted to another diocese and
with him goes much of their strength
Benny Lewia of watefville, star hurl-
err who was imported for the summer,
will not be with the st. Marys team
either, and thus they may possibly
withdraw from the popular league.
However, It is thought their place. can
be filled with an industrial team from
either the Hyde Wipdiass Co. or Tor
reys Roller Gushing Works. The en-
tire four clubs will be QUILTED with
uniforms this year, thanks to the
whole-hearted support OF last years
patrons. In addition to the league the

HIGGINS COUNTS
ON SExTET CL0UTERS
TO BREAK UP GAMES

New York, April 1.-(By The AS
ISOLATED Press.)-The New York
Yankees. who plunged last year
from an American League pennant
contender to a second division out
fit, have apparently come back with
reconstructed lineup of greater
home run potentiality than any club
in the major leagues.
Critics in the southland claim
their recent burst of terrific hitting,
the return to form of veteran pitchers
and a general Improvement in club
morale is no mere spring flash.
Strengthened by the inclusion of
Mark Koenig and Tony Lazzeri in
the infield, the team of Miller lg-
gins has braced its defense and de-
veioped q powerful attack which,
observers say, threatens to establish
new records for extra base hitting in
spite of assertions that the Jack
rabbit" bali has departed.
Babe Ruth, major league record
holder, and Bob Meusel American
have not yet reached the top Of their
circuit clouting stride. But Lou
Gehrig. Earl Combs, Koenig and
Lazzeri. have been hammering the
ball at a terrific clip. With six fence
busters ready to enter the race, Hug
gins is confident his rebuilt Yankees
will have considerably more to say
about the disposition of the flag than
they did last season.
The early gloom which settled over
the erstwhile American League
champions as result of defeats at
the hands of the Boston Braves has
been dispelled by their impressive
showing against the Brooklyn Rob-
ms. Eight straight victories were
rolled up by the decisive triumph of
the Hugmen yesterday over the
Dodgers.
Critics consider the club stronger
defensively this year. not only
through the new keystone com ina
ton of Koenig and Lazzeri in the
infield. but due in great measure to
improved form at first base by Geh-
rig. Veteran pitchers also have rail-
lied to uncommon spring effective
ness, with Shocker. Pennock, Jones
and Hoyt apparently in excellent
condition to open, the campaign.

Marathoner De Mar
Taken for Fugitive
While Working Out

Wellesley, Mass, Apr. 2.-(AP)-
Clarence De Mar, famous Marathon
runner, who is also a Sunday school
teacher and bears an exemplary rep
utation, has been arrested again
but it was a mistake. Clarence is
training for the American Marathon
to be held April 10. Up bright and
early this morning the Melrose type
setter essayed a 15-mile jaunt to try
out new pair of light shoes be-
fore going to work His course
took him through Wellesley.
An eagle-eyed policeman saw
what he believed the fleeing figure
of a fugitive streaking down the
highway. He gathered in the bare
head De Mar. There was an argu-
ment, in which De Mar more than
held his own. He convinced the
officer that he had nothing to do
with the crime wave and that he
wasn't running away from anything.
1t was not De Mars first clash
with a minion of the law. A sophis-
ticated and suspicious Boston police
man arrested him a few years ago
as he ran across the Boston Com
mon on his way home from work.
