Toledo Named as
Rickard Bu ilding A re na in
Oh io City lo Seal 50,000 for
Big Heavyweight Contest
Famous Promoter Completes Arrangements for
Title Bout ; No Purse Will Be Offered, but
Fighters Will Be Paid; Record Gate Expected
By W. O. McGeehan
Final arrangements for the Joss Willard-Jack Dempsey fight were
completed yesterday. The bout will be held at Toledo, Ohio, on the after?
noon of July 4. It will be for twelve rounds, with a referee's decision.
The announcement was made by Tex Rickard, the promoter, who is
putting up the :: 1 27,500 guarantee, after he had engaged in earnest tele?
phonic communication with a party or parties unknown, lie had been
expecting the whispei over the wires all afternoon. It came shortly after
7 o'clock in the evening. The whisper was from Richard's attorney and
was to the effect that the boxing contest would be legal under the state
laws of Ohio, which permit local option in the matter of boxing maches.
settled is the selection of a referee. I
is passably certain that this man wil
be Matt Hinkle, of Cleveland. Ohi<
The man who came to New York t
il vite Rickard's attention to the lucra
tive pugilistic opportunities presente
by the State of Ohio; that is, if Hir.kl
should be acceptable to the principal?.
Plans Big Stadium
The e.\act site of the,arena will b
Bay View Tark. at Toledo. Ohio. Rick
ard will proceed immediately to erec
n stadium that will seat 50.000 peopb
1 he arena will be constructed on th
lin s oV the one built in Reno for th
Jeffries-Johnson ficht, only, of cours?
i- will be much inrcrer. The promotei
figuring on the central location o
Toledo, bel j,.vos that the ficht will dra\
!ic biggest crowd ever seen at a prize
I'iglil and that the gate receipts wil
id any drawn by any previou
Bporl rig event.
Under the state laws of Ohio twelve
round boxing matches to a decision ar
permitted, provided that no mono
nurse is put up. The little matter o
$127,500 which Rickard is to pay to th
boxers will come under the head of
pecentage of the pato receipts. Th
law permits deserving boxers to ge
?i part of the gate receipts.
I M-kard had been asked to bring th
boul to Toledo some time ago, an
considered the place thoroughly satis
Jactory. But he had gone through on
experience with municipalities, wher
after the San Francisco Hoard of Su
P'M-visors had issued him a permit, 1
hold the Johnson-Jeffries light, th
Governor of California drove the bou
from the state to Nevada.
Ricard Satisfied
Evidently Ricard is thoroughly sat
;-, ed with the assurances he has re
ceived as to the non-interference o
the Governor of Ohio. The mere opir
ion of an attorney would not hav
satisfied him after the experience i
California. He was assured that th
Jeffries-Johnson bout was within th
law in California at the time. It wai
but Governor Gillett declared tha
]"> would call on' the mi?tia, ir nere>
sary. to stop the bout. Rickard too
the arena be already had built in Sa
j ancisco and m o v d it by sectiot'
across the Sierras to Reno.
Rickard regards the Toledo ma'
ter as closed. According to the tern
of their contracts, .Jess Willard an
Jack Dempsey must report before th
end of the month to begin their trau
ing in the vicinity of the city whei
the bout is to be heid. Xews of th
:? lection of the site has been wire
to both contestants.
According to the contract with tV
boxers, Rickard was to have made th
announcement of the site yesterda
But it was rumored by rival promotei
that there, would be opposition to tr
bout on the part of the Governor <
Ohio. Rickard obtained the consei
of both Dempsey and Willard to d<
lay the decision until he could gi
assurance that the bout would n<
1 ?? interfered with.
Arena to Cost $70,000
The arena will be a structure bui
especially for this bout. It will 1
octagonal in shape in order that thoi
in the most distant seats may get
iair view of the ring. The price fi
stats will range from So to Sou, a
cording to location. It will cost
the neighborhood of $70,000, and it
believed thai the cost of construct!'
i be paid by hotel men and othe
-, o are interested in bringing tl
bout to Toledo.

For Services: Won't

WILLARD and Dempsey
will be paid for their
services, Mr. Rickard explained,
and will not fight for a purse,
which is against the laws of
Ohio.
"Having consulted my attor?
neys," he said, "I. find that I am
entirely within the laws of Ohio
and according to a decision of
law on such cases. Therefore, I
have accepted Toledo's offer to
hold the boxing exhibition there.
"Under the Ohio law, the
Mayor of Toledo is permitted to
grant consent. Under decision
of the court one is privileged to
employ1 boxers to give exhibi?
tions when a purse is not fought
for."

By W. J.
So well is baseball coming back tl
In all of the major league cities th(
! believe they made a big mistake in
I economy last winter. It is too late f<
'? j season, but not too late to eradicate J
other ways.
Conditions have changed preatlyv*
? I since last winter, when certain eco
- j nomical amendments were adopted,
chief of which the twenty-one player
- roster limit is already providing not
; a little concern universally. Indeed,
. a movement is on foot in the Araer
) ?can League to have this rule abro
i, gated, for the time at least. May 15
? is the last day of grace the more
- , generous roster numbers may apply
i unios- last winter's rule is eradicated,
i i and with the generally unsettled phys
i ; ical condition of the various athletes
i as a result of the cold weather ex
! perienced after coming N'orth, no
proper line has been bad on the
- ? younger talent.
The American T-oajruc never before
: did recogni'.e any roster limit, if,
indei ;. il ever had one, and it is
pretty hard to teach an old dot,' new
> trick:--. Close students of the vrame
have attributed to the more liberal
?policies of the Johnson circuit the
undoubted question of supremacy as
exemplified year after year in the
t world championship series. The ma?
jority of American League clubs
ild willingjy turn bark to old eon
- ditions permitting a more generous
? ro ter limit or even the ? ' ?? nation
of a limit. Rut. unless the National
League should agree to acl likewise
a point in sportsmanship would arise,
? as both leagues adopted the present
1 limit by mutual consent and gentle?
man's agreement.
! The Wading clubs of the National
League ucn clubs as New York,
: Chicago, Pittsburgh and Boston, have
! always deplored such handicaps as
' a 'ow player limit entails, [t. was
? the weak iisters of the association
. thai always wished to operate on
the cheapest possible scale. These
? had a double object in view. First,
to keep the richei cities from setting
too extravagant a fashion, and again
to force the more progressive oppo?
nents to cut loose from as much
highly prom n>' talent as possible,
bo that it could accrue to the penny
wige-pound-fooliah sluggards at little
or no expern e.
The awakening has come, It bus
come in the form of Sunday baseball
in New York. The National League for

Perry Ada ir and Bobb?
Jones Are Easy Victors 01
Garden City Links
| Georgia Tech, a rampant golf team
i headed by Bobby Jones and Perr;
j Adair, romped easily over the Colunv
j bia quartet at Garden City yesterdaj
j with a clean sweep by the margin o
j t? matches to 0. The Georgia invader;
| won both four-ball matches and thei
! marked up in all four single events.
One of the big features of the day's
; play was the battle between Bobb;
Jones and A. L. Walker, jr., the twe
crack entries, who met first in th?
four-ball round and later in the sin
gles. Jones and Walker hud an ever
battle of it in the four-ball affair, bu1
young Schley helped Bobby on twr
holes, whereas Walker had to trave
the route unaided.
In the singles Jones finally wor
from Walker by the margin of 7; and l
The Jones-WalKer match carried tht
gallery.
Jones played erratic in spots, but
featured his playing bv terrific i is
tances from the tee. The youngstei
is driving with the longest hitters in
the country; in fact, it is extremel>
doubtful if any amateur in America
can outdistance him. At the long
fourth his tee shot caught a cross
bunker, placed to catch a poor second
shot, this bunker being .'?10 yards from
the tee. Many of his tee shots were
from 280 to .S?0 yards.
In the Jone.-- match, Walker, the
Columbia captain, got the jump, win?
ning the first two holes. After that
Jones settled down, squared the match
at the fifth hole, took the lead at the
eijrhth and finally won on the seven
teenth hole.
Walker did his best work in the
four-ball match, where, unaided, he
fought with both skill and courage,
holding Jones even.
Perry Adair played the bes* golf in
the singles, defeating Rodenberg, 1 and
2. Jones and Prescott won their four
ball match without any extended i :
fort, playiner steadily. Prescott reache ;
the 500-yard fourth green, on the sec?
ond shot, beating par by a stroke.
The Georgia Tech team was excep?
tionally strong and well balanced

Macbeth
roughout the country, and especially
magnates generally are coming to
?ertain legislation toward necessary
?r them to repine over the shortened
andicaps to full financial benefit? in
majors to provide an average balance
of playing strength to make the sen
son of 1919 the preatest of baseball
history. As to league balance, no proper
line can be had till the first inter
sectional series have been completed.
The mere fact, however, that unexpect?
ed strength, or evident strength, has
developed in both organizations pre?
sages unusualy close and thrilling com?
petitions.
No one dare attempt to belittle the
chances of the champion Cubs and of
the Giants. Yet to date both have
been eclipsed by clubs that were con?
sidered hopeless at the close of the
training season. Pat Moran's Cincin?
nati Reds and Uncle Bobbie's Dodgers
are now away out there on nerve alone.
Both managers at the last moment
were moved to mako changes that have
proved lifesavers. Both clubs may
come back, but neither is likely to
crack so badly as to prove any lead
pipe cinch for the clubs that figured
earlier to distance both. Moran has a
good, steady infield, with Daubert and
Groh on the wings; he has a reliable
outfield built around Eddie Roush; he
has good catchers and fair pitchers,
His great problem is pitching, but Pat
ivas always able to develop pitchinfg if
there was any on hand to be developed.
Ray Fisher, for example, is likely t?>
prove a wonder with Pat.
So long as Ed Konetchy travels af
his present pace, Robbie's Dodgers will
continue to command respect, for both
Lee Mageo and Ivy Olson have com?
buck with a vengeance, and young
Malone is developing into a brilliant
third baseman. It. would be difficult
to find a better outfield trio than
/.ach Wheat, Hi Myers and Tom Grif?
fith. The developmenl of Krueger
seems to have plugged the '?ne cry?
ing weakness of the club. \'o better
pitching staff can be boasted by any
club, and this goes for the Cubs.
As to Chicago, well, a team that
:ould win a pennant without Alexander
?i year ago must, commund added ro
Bpcct now that the great Alex is
??ti the job. With the (liants it, has
been a case of battery strength from
the start. Poll Perritf and Fred Toney
ire bound to help greatly whin they
rot in shape, and this should be with
n a fortnight. Their pre;-;.?nee will
jive McGraw an opportunity to nun
ilong his young pitchers.
?f'hi? American League always ba?
leen fort?nate enough to present uu
isual balance, and this year should
irovf? no exception. Indeed, all four
Eastern clubs have improved. The
Vankces and Red So;; both appear to
lay it over the Senators and A* h
etics. though Connie .Mack has como
ip with a fine, young club that lacks
n pitching only to make il a strong
lennant factor. Washington, with a
Walter Johnson, mus? always be dan
rerous, and Griff has bis team playing
letter ball than evei before, In the
West the White Sox seem coming
..t''!- to that 1917 form which won n
nennant. With Cuy Morton bettoi
ban ever before, Cleveland rounds up
is a club that should ask odd of none
Detroit lucks pitchers, bul Detroil has
i Cobb and a Wach, not to mention
i. Bush and a Young, St. I.ouis has
??islcr and n lot of classy pitchers.
t looks like an old time American
?eaguc race, with four or live club.?
n the thick of i he fight right down
o the wire.

Elegy in a Country Ball Yard
(if Mr. Gray Had Been a Fan.)
Perhaps iv this neglected spot anee planed
Some star once pregnant with the speed of Cobb;
Hands, that the bat of Wagner might have swayed
Or waked to ecstasy the mighty mob.
Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The unknown, unsung B7tsh Leagues bear;
Full many a Ruth is bom to bat unseen
And waste his homers on the country air.
Into thr Major League's terrific strife.
Their humble wishes never learned tn stray;
Along the dull and Bush League road of life
They kept the noiseless tenor of their play.
Sometimes You Can't Tell
Back in the spring of 190] a young fellow named Christy Mathewson
I began starring and winning for the Giants.
Just two years later another young fellow named Leon K. Ames re
! ported, to be christened Leon Kalamity Amos a short while afterward,
I for the better he pitched the harder he found it to go out and win.
If any one. had suggested ten or fifteen years ago that Leon Kalamity
! would still be toiling in the major league sun after Matty had ceased
| firing, mental inspectors would have been upon the suggestor's trail inside
j of an hour. ?
Yet .Matty ceased as a Giant regular back in 1915, working only a few
games the following year.
And here we have old man Leon Kalamity still breezing along three
or four years after Mathewson has retired from active service!
No, you can't always tell. Not always.
Ames is the sole member still wearing harness who served with
McGraw in the campaign of 1905. The others have long since vanished
through the mists.
Out at Last
Ever since Connie Mack dismembered his great machine in .1914 he
has been dwelling moodily in the cellar, trying to build a stairway out.
Each year word has come that Connie had a new machine of merit under
way, but after making a few threatening gestures his people soon dropped
, back into the muck.
But this season is another affair. Mr. Mack will spend no great
' amount of time in the cellar from now on, for he has a machine that will
annoy more than a few of the hitherto ?lite, as you might say. He has a
regular hall club at last, a hustling, hard hitting array that is a better
fighting club than his old line-up.
The ancient ?Soft ?Spot has been eliminated to a finish.
The Ultimate
My soul is seldom full of wrath,
But seize it from me, please.
Tin' bloke J hair with a deadly hate

And beats my set of threes.
By Way of Golf Advice
One main t/oublc assailing the Average Golfer is an overvaulting
ambition. Which is to say that he insists on doing all the work, leaving
the club nothing in the way of a job.
The club is a deserving specimen and should he given a chance. By
merely guiding the clubhead into the ball, controlling its impetus without
effort, surprising rlsitancc can be obtained. When in trouble let the club
do more work, without attempting to overwork arms, wrists and body.
?Slugging is all well enough when you are timing your shots properly.

Huggias Takes
Long End of
Red Sox Series
Yankees Stop Barrows* ??
Champs, 5 to 1; Jack
Quinn Pitches Well
j BOSTON, May 6.?The Yankees got
| away with the world champion Red
Sox, as it Is customary for them to do
as a general rule, in the closing panic
of their first series of the year in the
I Hub. They stopped Barrow's machine
I cold in its tracks at Fenway Park this
? afternoon by a score of 5 to 1. The
victory gave Miller Huggins the long
? end of the four games series, three
victories to one.
There was a lot of encouragement
? for the weo manager in this farewell
j to the city of culture. Jack Quinn,
! who starred under Yankee banners
1 some five to eight years ago and who
j came back by way of the Federal and
j Coast leagues after a bitter fight be
j fore the National Commission, proved
I himself well worthy of the wordy argu?
ment with the owners of the White
j Sox, who kidnapped him for a while
I last season from the Ruppert-Huston
| combine. This eminent manipulator of
| the spitball turned off one of the very
? finest exhibitions a Yankee boxman had
j shown all season. He proved conclu
] sively that his first start against the
Athletics, when old, reliable Bob Shaw
key had come to his rescue, was simply
a caso of being a bit short of work
owing to the inclement weather of early
i spring.
Hammer Dnmont Hard
Quinn pitched the sort of baseball
around which championships aro built,
lie displayed every element of confi?
dence and inspired confidence in his
support. None could ask for better de
! fensive piay than that furnished by the
; Yankees. And as to the offence?well,
New York hammered Dumont out of the
j box and peppered Carl Mays for fur
| ther orders. Dumont and Mays, by the
| way, are two young men upon whom
Harrow is counting heavily in his h
! to qualify for the next world series,
.Murderers' Row was not all that the
MUe Manager might havo expected of '
it to-day?that is, the top end of it, >??
least. Sammy Vick went hitless, strik?
ing out on each of his first three ap?
pearances. Wally l'ipp and Home Run
: Baker could not break into the hits
column. But the failure of these two
?heavy pieces of ordnance was more
i than atoned for by the supposedly weak
I end of the line. Quinn not only
pitched well, but with his battery mate,
j Muddy Ruel, contributed heavily in
j the cannonading. Each of these deli'
ered a brace <>:' blows that helped the
Yankee cat^e immeasurably. Pratt,
Lewis and Bodie, not forgetting Peck
inpaugh, contributed a blow apiece.
Duffy Lewis had a busy afternoon, as
he carried over three of New York
five runs.
Luck broke for Borton in the first
inning, when Dumont turned the Yan?
kees back scoreless after they had filled
the bases with one out. Peck singled
and took second o^ a wild pitch. When
Pipp hit to Scott Roger beat, the throw
to third. Baker strolled, filling 'em
up. Pratt lined out wickedly, but Vit*
made a daring one-handed clutch ritr?is
over the bag, which base he tagged,
doubling Peck before the latter had a
chance to pet back.
In the second, however, the visitors
| scored a run and were neve?- headed.
Lewis walked and took second on
Bodie's single. Ruel, too, singled to
right. Lewis pulled up at third, but
Ping Bodie raced blindly around si c
ond base and was out a block when
Walters relayed Hooper's pood throw
! to ?Scott. Jack Quinn, however, stru
a telling blow in self-defence, h single
to right that scored Lewis and pul
Ruel on third. Sammy Vick fanned a
second time and Peck forced Quinn.
Pratt Scores Pinp
Another cam?? in the third. Pipp
walked, took second while Barry was
tossing out Baker, and scored on
Pratt's single that eliminated Dumont.
Lewis hit sharply to Mays and was
doubled with Pratt.
Things were going along swimmingly
for Quinn meanwhile. He squee: ed
out of a tight hoi" in the first, after
hitting Strunk. following Hooper's
single with one cut. He fanned Pun11
after Walters ha?l doubled with two
down in the secoi d. Buf any idea
may have entertained as to a shut-out
was dissipated when the mighty Babe
Ruth came to bat the second time.
Ruth, who had flied to Vick in the
first inning, in a time o?' threaten? d !
trouble, and ?-o deeply that Barry was
able to sprint from second to third ?
after the catch, was no' to be denied ?
twice in "suction." Quinn may have
been a bit careless with him in tl
fourth, as Babe was the first batter. '
Anyhow, Barrow's bad boy loosened a !
couple of boards on '. I,<? right ?'entre '
fence with one of his wickedest, liners
and was on third base when the dusf 1
clouds lifted. He scored while Pei
was throwing out Mclnnis.
Only once thereafter was Quinn
crowded. He was in close quarters in
the seventh. Vitt singled to centre and :
was forced by Scott. But Walters beat |
a bunt. .Mays flied to Vick so far ou ;
tha*. Scott moved to third after th( ?
each. On an attempted doubli ?'? I
Ruel picked Scott off third with Baker'? |
assistance. ;
Yankees Annoy Mays
M'?anwhile the Yankees continued to '
annoy Tari Mays as they had annoyed J
Dumont. In the sixth they clinched
the pame with a brace of tallies. Mays '
pot off poorly this time by passing c
Baker. Then, after Pratt sacrificed, he
walked Lewis, too. Bodie'-; long fly to ,
Strunk sent Baker to third. Ruel (
doubled to ripht field, scoring Baker
and Lewis, but Muddy was caught try- i
ing to stretch the hit into a triple.
New York's last run fell in the ninth.
Lewis singled as a starter, and Bodie
sacrificed. Ruel flied to Ruth, but Jack
Quinn came across with his second '
pinch hit of the afternoon, a pretty i
