J - s If Champion Never Visits Montana That’s Soon Enough, Sayrf Legion Adjutant. April 15. — The April 14. — The possibility of a 15-rounil match at Shelby, Mont., next July 4, be tween Jack Demp sey, world’s heavyweight champion, and Tom Olbbons are declared to be ex ceedingly bright as a result of a conference here today between Jack Kearnes and Mike Colling, representing the Mon tana American Legion. Kearns, after a meeting with Col lins at noon, left Salt Like City for California And announced that he would return to Salt Lake City next week and again would take up pro posals for the bout. Helena, Mont., April 15.—Objection to Jack Dempsey ever fighting in Mon tana was telegraphed from Helena to day by C. O.

Collins, manager for Tom Gibbons, and Loy Molumby, state commander of the legion, who were scheduled to be in Salt Lake City to negotiate for the proposed fight between Dempsey and Gibbons at Shelby, Mont., July 4. The telegram follows: "This Is to Inform you that the Ameri can Irylon, department of Montana, Is not now anil never ha* hern a party In the negotiations wltlvh Commander toy d. Molumby Is carrying on. which If success ful. would bring dark Dempsey to Mon tana for the purpose of staging n price fight.

Mr be lieve him a good man with hi* fist*, hut In time of national stress, a better riveter lhan warrior. Th eterntlvt eommlttre of the department of Montiina hae withheld comment, striving to protect Its com mander, hut his disregard of the eommlt tre has caused this declaration. If Demp sey never comes to Montana that Is soon enough. We nee unqualifiedly opposed to the promotion of ony price fight In Mon tana with dark Dempsey as one of the portlclpnnls."

Matdrr end My j art; Thutnaa, Craft and Mltile McGraw’s Team “Doped" to Cop Another Pennant Scribe Says Champions Should Win by Comfortable Margin in 1923. By THOMAS L. CIMMISKEV, I'nirenial Hml« Nports F/dlt'V. ,EW YORK, A ;iril 15. —Pleading innocence of crystal gazing, nor yet a d -earn, we ladnch into the Job of arranging the Natl anal league Htanding when next October comes around. Strange aa It may seem to some, particularly arc>nt followers of teams other than our choices, we do ot think it a very hard task regard ing the first three. Our predictions follow: 1—Giants. S—Reds. 3— Pirates. , 4— Cubs, Cardinals or Braves. 7— Brooklyn. 8— Phillies. The Giants ought to win by a com fortable margin, while the battle for second and fourth place should be a fierce one. — The Giants are a team of class. They proved it indisputably by win l ning though badly handicapped by a shattered hurling staff last season, end then upsetting the prevailing dope by soundly licking the Yanks in the world’s series. That class is still there. Some world's champions have suf fered greatly in the succeeding year by “cockiness,” over confidence. But with a leader like John McOraw. this Is not likely to happen to the Giants. The players are masterfully handled by “Mac," and there's no prima donna stuff. McOraw is going out to tie the rec ord of the Cubs, under Frank Chance, back In 1906, 1907 and 1908, of win i ning three league titles In a row, and, a fond dream, of making it three world's championships in succession— a new record. The players well know it, they are treated finely, and they'll play real ball. The costly Bentley, for pitching, and O'Connell, for outfielding, should add much strength. It appears that Ryan, Nehf, Scott. McQuillan and Jonnard will do high-class hurling. Frankly, the Oiants ought to run along smoothly to win handily, but not so as to rob the race of much in terest. Pat Moran has a real ball club In the Reds, but It doesn't compare with the Giants In all Ground strength, barring posslblly, pitching. In Rixey, Donohue, Couch and Rube Benton, Don Patrick has four fine hurlera The first three topped the league last season. Jake Daubert's Illness and Eddie Roush holding out will weaken the rluh. They may say In Cincinnati that Roush won't be missed, but it doesn’t seem so. Fonseca can hit splendidly, but his fielding at first Is not apt to be as good as Jake's, old as the latter is. A veteran of 38. the age of Daubert. he Is likely to suffer long from the effects of pneumonia. Because of Benton's acquisition, and on the chance Roush and Dau bert will be in the play In 1923 style, the Reds are ranked second. Manager BUI Ni'KechnIe of the Pirates has got team spirit Into the club. He Is well liked, and the play ers are behaving. Schmidt, A great handler of catchers, and a brainy I player. Is contented, and this will give the Pirates much strength. Schmidt held out for months last Rea son, and the pitchers worried, and It had A bad effect all around. Reb Russell, Who came In Inst midseason. I bids fair to keep up his murderous ! hitting. Instrumental In giving the ! club batting leadership In 1923. All fine thing*, the foregoing. Also, the Pirate* have, on paper, the beat hurling corp* in the league. But it I* tnoBtly a veteran one. particularly a* regard* Babe Adam* and Cooper, and may not stand up. Because of this doubt, and because Maranvtlle, at *hort. does not assay a* good as of old. fielding or hitting, we are In dined to place the Pirates third. The Cubs, a young, fighting team, from Manager Bill KUIIfer down, will »t>e troublesome, but they do not ns yet rank with the Olmita, Reds nnd Pirates. A year or two. and they ought to lie real pennant contenders As It la. they have a i hnnee. but It seefns safer to lank them a first di vision possibility. The Cardinals. under Branch Rickey, have boon bolstered by lly M\ers In center and Rottomlcy at llrst. Shortstop is dubious, good ss the veteran l..t van looks In exhibi tions. after lino conditioning on the oriental tour. The biggest problem, though. Is pitching Rirkey hopoa for much from old Toney, who has worked hard getting In trim, but be must remain an uncertain quantity until bo prove otherwise l’feffer and Sherdell, of the rest of the hurl ers, seem the only ones fairly de I cndabl** The Cardinals, as of old, see llkrly to play bang-up Imll In spurts, anil then drop off. as pitching fail" them. They are not a pennant contender. In our opinion, but only a first division prospect. Manager Fred Mitchell of the Braves, saw his "dark horse" club go ing to pieces with Injuries Inst sea son. 11 men being Injured within a short period, but this year naturally does not expect auch n calamity, and, furthermore, has many highly prom ising newcomers. On the chance Mc Namara and C toney deliver in pitch ing. along with Watson and Flllln glut, us a guess, the Braves should make a hard fight for fourth plate. They are a hustling, peppy tesm. and If they get going, may be hard to atop Christy Mathewson's association with the club, as president. Is likely to lime u fine psychological effect. I Every Pitcher in American Camping on Ruth's Trail By THOMAS U CVMMI8KY. New York, April 15.—B".l,e Ruth may be pictured aH a Buffalo with a pack of wolves after hhn. The players of opposing teams, par ticularly pitchers, are wolves snap ping at his haunches. Up In the stands and bleachers are thousand* of wolves, yelping and howling. They pursue him relentlessly, and are only thwarted when he gets a homer. This throws them back mo mentarily, hut they are up and at him In a twinkling. Every game, the Babe has to face it all over again, on a long trail of 154 games, reaching away from mid April to early October. Imagine Babe, the buffalo, facing these menaces: Every hurler trying with all cun ning and strength to slay him. Every outfielder playing far hack trying to outgeneral him. Every manager, leader of each par ticular bunch of wolves, trying to out guess him. s Thousands and thousands of fans, by some strange twist of nature, ready to rend him limb from limb if be fails. It is a situation of surpassing in terest. Babe’s weapons against the pack are: Great shoulders and bulk, co-or dination of mind and muscle in a herculean follow-through swing, a big bat, and confidence in himself. He may be said to be lean and primed for the race. He now weighs 205 pounds stripped, lighter than in six years. He says: ’’I feel confident I can get 60 hom ers if they'll pitch to me.” From inquiries at training camps. In a recent tour down south. It strike* ub that pitchers will pitch to Babe. They do not fear him as of old, be cause of his debacle last season. Babe is now on the eve of his break into the big league reservation, where the wolves are, and whether he will win or lose is about as great In inter est as his wonder climb to the heights In 1921 with 59 homers. Great drama centers in the Babe and his battle, and the lure of it reaches country-wide. It would seem a safe bet, from the talk we've heard in towns and cities in the south, on Pull man trains, and up here I t the north, that the Ruth question ranks with any in America today in general in terest. There is always drama in a man achieving greatness and then falling away, attempting to come back. Base ball has never known such interest in an individual before; only the prize ring stirred people so. We have marvelled often at a real Ruthian homer, particularly a couple of years or so back, when there was novelty in them. The bat met the bail, and it went tip and up, far and away, a speck in the vault of the sky. A great roar swelled in the park. It was near hysteria, if not actually hysteria. The combination of primitive strength and the nicety of timing, the doing of things not done before, grip ped the multitude, gathered from far and near. Ruth.'heard th<’ cheers in those days; he was idolized. He fell from the pinnacle, and the rabble were at him. He was hurt, chagrined, woumfc ed. But he is tenacious. Thats one thing about him, and he seeks glory again. i Only time and ball games can Jell how he will make out. BASEBALL RESULTS ‘and STANDINGS/ A WESTERN LftAGl'E. W. L Pet.
