Speaking
of Sports

| Dempsey won't be able to make
the grade for Jack Sharkey by July
II. In the opinion of Denny Nc
Mahon. kid" kaplan's trainer,
given in an article in the Meriden
Morning Record today. Mcmahon
has just returned from an automo-
bile trip which brought him to the
Dempsey camp at Saratoga.
Denny states that Dempsey looks
to him to be in poor shape. His
face is fat and his body carries
plenty of surplus weight and he
doesn't think that he will be able
to work himself into the form
necessary TO beat Sharkey.
Denny knows whereof he speaks
because he saw Sharkey knock out
Jim Maloney in New York recently.
He says that sharkey is really
fine fighter He's right at the peak
OF mis- career and a fast. elusive and
clever boxer.
Sharkey has the youth, he is "a
YEARS old. and the incentive to win.
Dempsey is 80 years old and looks
every day Of it. He appeared to
be we'll over o05 pounds on the day
Mcmahon saw him.
Denny had hopes that Dempsey
Hould be able to pull out victory
over Sharkey but after looking the
rx-champion over. he seems to
doubt that the old Dempsey will
ever be seen in action again.
Conflicting reports in newspaper
REPORTS from men at the camp Of
the former champion, have the fans
dizzy trying to dope out whether it
will be fight on July 81 or not.
Benny Leonard, retired. unde-
feated lightweight champion OF the
world. expresses himself as being
axreeably surprised at the condition
of Dempsey. Hype Ogoe thinks
Dempscy's speed has left him.
He quotes Dempsey as saying one
time that when his speed left him
the Common guys" would lick him.
Hype says "Dempsey's speed has
left him and sharkey is no com
mon guy
However, bethat as it may, Demp-
sey seems to be sincere in his effort
to make comeback. He exudes
confidence that he can beat Sharkey
and return to the ring to beat Tun-
ncy. He feels that there will be no
title of ex-champion before his name
next year. he says.
Whether the fight fans agree with
him or not seems to be one question
that won't be decided until al or the
Sharkey fight on July 81.
Tex Richard expects the bout to
be sell out and 1t appears that
among the followers of the fight
game, there is nothing talked about
brt the Dempsey Sharkey bout.
IL re will be no postponement, ac-
ccrding to Dempsey. and prepare
lions are being made in New York
to accommodate one of the biggest
crowds on record at fight.
The winner Of the bout between
these two will be Tunney's next OPP
pcnent for the worlds heavyweight
title. Whether it be Sharkey or
whether it be Dempsey, will remain
mystery until after the meeting
between the pair.

NEW YORK TEAMS
 RETURN TOMORROW
Gotham Clubs to Be Welcomed
 Home by Baseball Fans

New York, April R>-Gotham welcomes home three humping metropolitan teams tomorrow after a hectic training campaign which has strengthened prospects of pow erful pennant drives by the Yankees and Giants.
 First of the northward bound clubs to reach New York will be the Tanks who pulled stakes in Nashville, Tenn. last night. after holding the Cardinals even in a spring renewal of their world series struggle. They are due here today And tomorrow fandom will have its first glimpse of the 1927 American league contenders in a metropolitan skirmish with the Brooklyn Robins at Ebbets field.
 A pair of home runs by Frankie Frisch, erstwhile Giant, whose bat accounted for six Cardinal runs. en- abled the worlds champions to car ry off the eighth game of their string. 10 to 8. Frank added a pair of tin'ely bingles to his brace of round trip clouts and the Cardinals escaped threatening Yankee bar rage of blows with an even series break, 1 games to 4.
 The Giants at the same time stove in the Senator's defense once more with a high geared hitting attack, 19 to 9. Twenty three safe smashes rode into the distant scenery of Washington park, clinching the ser ics honors for Manager John Nc Graw. games to 2. On the occa- sion of his 54th birthday anniver- sary.
 Three battles remain to engage the clubs. one today at Washington and the remaining two at the Polo Grounds on Saturday and Sunday.
 In spite Of ragged fielding the Robins recovered the winning habit yesterday in Atlanta at the expense of the Crackers II to 10. Cluster ed hits netting three runs saved the game for the National league club in the ninth.

1 sucker" making it i5 for Bristol | The New Britain fans groaned at i S:15 count when Jimmy Malcolm came through with a basket making t v to 12.
 Bristol at this point, made one Of the cardinal mistakes of the 1 game when the team got the ball and tried 10 stall. The Guards broke through and Zakzcwski copped a 1 pass to turn the play into a score | for New Britain at the 9:30 mark. i At 10:45 SAeehan caged another / free toss and the count stood IT 1 10 IS.
 Manning stood in the center of the floor at the II minute mark and tossed one cleanly through the hoop. He grinned and coming back to position, he tapped Sloman on the back and said: How did you like that one ." The next tap-off, Slo- man took the ball from center and without moving tossed the ball just as cleanly through the hoop for New Britain and he returned, tap
 
 ed: How did you ike that one?" Between these two, rapid fire com- ment was being passed all through the game. Soman's basket came at the 11:45 mark and made the count 19 to IT in favor of Bristol. Here q wild battle ensued as each team fought for the ball. Bristol was stalling again with a two point lead, but the Guards were desper- ate and were fighting for the ball as they have never fought before. Finally at the 16:30 mark, a pass hit Sturm in the knee and the ball went into a scuffle. Sturm was aft CT it, got his hands on it and bring ing the ball up behind his head, he let fly for the basket The ball dropped cleanly through the ring and the score was tied at 19 all.
 There have been hectic moments on a basketball court before and there will be many more in the years 10 come, but it is doubtful if any two teams will stage the battle that those two did last night in the last three and half minutes.
 Finally. at the IS minute mark. Johnny Sheehan got just beyond the foul line and popped for the hoop. The ball went through and put New Britain in the lead 2l to 19. Manning took shot but missed by a wide margin. Sheehan again popped but his try was thrown off balance. Sloman was sent flying into the crowd and was injured. Slo- | man, however. resumed and Bristol couldn't get shot The Guards played for the basket all the time trying to increase the lead. Mall colm heaved the ball. over the back board in a desperate attempt to shoot and New Britain got the ball with half minute to go. The final whistle brought the game to close and the championship to New Brit ain. The summary:

START PLANS FOR | 0LYMP|CS IN 1928
Ocean Liner Has Been Chartered
 for Use Of Athletes

l New York, April P-Havins solved it's transportation and hous- l ing problems at one stroke by de- ciding to charter an ocean liner for the entire trip of Americas athletes to the 1928 Olympics in Holland, the American Olympic committee under the leadership of William c. Prout, Of Boston. today launched a program designed to marshal the most for midable array Of talent it has ever sent after athletic conquests. With the exception of tennis, which has been withdrawn from the Olympic program as an outgrowth of unsatisfactory conditions at Paris in 1924, the machinery has been set in motion to form the strongest and | most representative teams possible in all branches of competition. Between 300 and $50 athletes will be sent abroad at cost of from s300,000 to $350, ,000.
 Especially keen competition for the track and field team. major unit of the American contingent, is ex-' pected by the committee in framing it's plans for nationwide tryouts leading up to final tests in the east just prior to the departure of the athletes, now slated for between July and s, 1928.
 Although no coaching selections have yet been made it is considered likely that Lawson Robertson of the University Of Pennsylvania again will coach the track squad, aided by other experienced mentors. Robert son has had a large hand in the shaping of preliminary plans and al- ready has been given considerable responsibility in the organization and housing work.
 F Olympic committee members re- gard prospects also as particularly bright in such sports as rowing, swimming, boxing and wrestling, all of which will be held during the two weeks period of main activity at Amsterdam. starting June 2s.
 The development Of such young swimming stars at George kojac, IT, StdI-OlI NC" 1OIh SCuOUl DOy, lO. sether with the rise of new group of mermaids to replace Gertrude Edcrle, Aileen Riggin and Helen Wainwright, is regarded as a good augury in aquatics.
 In rowing, Yale, which won the 1924 Olympic title, is expected to enter it's varsity crew in the tryouts again, along with the Naval Acad- emy and possibly the University of Washington, whose crews have di- vided domination of the Poughkeep- sic regatta for six years in a row.
 Colleges and clubs throughout the country, as well as the numerous sports governing bodies, will aid in raising the fund of s3O0,O00 or moro needed to defray expenses, which figure at a rate of s1.000 per ath- lete. This work will be directed by the new treasurer of the committee. John Raskob. who is treasurer of the General Motors Corporation.

TEAMS END TITLE GAME IN DEADLOCK
Worlds Championship Hockey Series Must Go Four Contests

Boston, April Rl-A worlds championship hockey series that must go at least four games to a de- cision was decrecd today in the face of last nights so minute fast but cautious scoreless tie play between the Boston Bruins. American divi- sion victors. and the Ottawa Sena- tors. Canadian leaders in the Ma tionai Hockey league.
 Ten thousand persons damned the arena to see a contest marked more by conservatism than bril- llancy, where q rugged encounter between the hard fighting Bruins. expected to mark the first clash for the famous Stanley Cup.
 The Senators came the closest to an actual score but pass from Nighbor that Denneny shot through Winkler from close In was ruled out as offside. With that exception there were few thrills as both teams ap- parently contented themselves with feeling out the other.
 Both outfits held close to a tight defensive formation and that, to- gether with a fear of weakened forces, kept penalties to bare half dozen.
 The game was called q draw by President Frank Calder of the league after representative of both teams had agreed that because of the condition Of the ice it was the only feasible thing to do.
 The second of the five game series will be played here Saturday and the next succeeding two in Ottawa. The fifth will be played on ice yet to be selected with the probability strong that Montreal will get the game. although it was said Boston might have claim on 1t.
 In statement after last nights contest, President Cadler declared the tie would not mean an extra game in case of deadlock or If one team is unable to win three en- counters.
 If neither club shall have won three games at the completion Of tho five games, then the club which ha5 the best record of games won shall be declared the winner he said.
 If, on the other hand. 1t shall have been impossible to reach a de cision. then the money in the play ers' pool shall be divided equally between the two clubs
