Walsh Raps Gotham Milk Fund Bouts By DAVIS J. WALSH. International News Service Sports Editor. New York, April 20.—Just as water geeks Its level, our esteemed l^.vy weight pugilists are about to gfther in and around the happy hunting ground, otherwise known as Broad way, for the big pay-off May 12. Jess Willard, as lean as the shank of a grasshopper, if the exhorters can be believed, is due here tomorrow and will hasten to the nearest scales s<5 that all can behold and be comfort ed. Jack McAullfe, II, is expected today. Senor Firpo, the well known human being, and Floyd Johnson, who may or may not meet Willard in the fea ture bout of the Mlik Fund show, are already here, having nothing bet ter to do. Johnson finally has beet^ granted permission to fight Funny Frederick Fulton in Jersey City on Monday night and may live to regret 'he fact. Frederick has an abiding fondness for the horizontal posture, but is always dangerous. The winner of the bout will go on with Willard and our only concern is that the worst man loses. You never can tell when they are both had. Wise Money on Jess. Little is known of McAuliffe, who is to engage the man eating senor at the Milk Fund show, and the .most of that is unfavorable. He is thought to nourish a dash of lavender some where in his system, and therefore, Is the logical candidate for Flrpo'a immediate attentions. • The Argentin an's motto, if any, Is pick them soft and hit them hard. Willard, of course, is the dominat ing figure with Dempsey picking coal in Utah and Harry Wills a victim of protective coloration. Jess left Broadway many weeks ago merely as a discredited ex-champion, his reputa tion beaten down flat by the con stant pounding of an adverse press. That is all off now, however. He re turns as a first class betting proposi tion, who will carry all the wise money with him on May 12, regard less of whether his adversary is Johnson or Fulton. oeml-Ltber, Isays \> alsh. Stories of Willard's sincerity In training, drifting back easi from Kxcelsior Springs, havff served to re habilitate the Kansan In popular esteem to some extent. John him self has done the rest. He Is hardly In the form he was the night he beat Brennan, and only recently engaged in a. questionable draw with'one Joe Lehman, a third class middleweight. Further than that. It seemed to be the Impression of the New York state athletic commission that it was nec essary to protect Johnson from Frederick Face-down Fulton. In the mining camps, they shot men tor less. It Is semi libel, viewed from Its most charitable angle. Ninety Schools in K- U.

Horners Won’t Be So Easy for Babe in New Field By THOMAS L. CLMMISKKY. Inlvcrtal Service SporU Editor. New York, April 20.—Babe Kuth yesterday hit the ball 480 feet on the fly and it bounded and rolled 20 feet more—and went for only a triple. Tho great playing field reaches of the Yankee stadium had handicapped the Babe. The blow, one of the hardest hit and farthest driven Babe has ever made, came in the sixth Inning of the Yankee-Red Sox game, with George Murray pitching. Strangely, the ball waa smashed into left center, and on a low line. The Babe, a left handed hitter, hits to right field approximately nine times out of 10. Generally, in the past, he has hit the ball far aloft. In his first wonderful homer into the right field bleachers in the opening day game, he hit the ball on a line, not more than 30 feet from the vividly remain in the minds of the throng that saw him do it. ground. And today, it was the same, but more terrific. * If Babe had connected for such a wallop at the Polo grounds, late home of the Yankees, the ball on the fly would have cleared the center field bleac hers fence, and gone high up in them. Query: • Will the Babe nave to hit as he never hit before to make homers in center and left center at the Yankee sVtdium, particularly as fielders play so deep when he’s up? * Yes, folks, he will. And hitting to right for homers, unless In close to the foul line, will be some job, too. The right foul line at the stadium is about the same as at the Polo grounds, but then the bleachers fence slopes far more sharp ly away. But the Babe has proven he can hit homers In right. He showed it in the opening game in a manner that will Delante Attracts Omaha Turfites to Ak Field — Visitors at Ak-Sar-Ben field always stop a^ tbf? staJl of the great Omaha owned 3-year-old, Delante, speedy son of Beth Keep Moving. This good colt just returned from Tijuana where he raced successfully ail winter. Delante Is owned by McClain and Sneed of South Omaha, and is train ed by B. K. McClain,' who started tlbs colt in his maiden races at Ak-Sar Ben field a year ago. He also raced her In Omaha In September, 1922 and went from here to Hawthorne, Chi 1 cago. At Tijuana this winter he raced with the best colts and handicap horses the east and west could bur nish, and demonstrated that no race was to far or fast for him.

Joe and Art met at Sixteenth and Farnam yesterday and decided then and there to arrange for the annual game between the fire and police de partments. But they couldn't agree on the date or place and finally decided to refer the matter to their “chiefs"— Dan Butler of the police and John Hopkins of the firemen. Wavrin accused Art of trying to evade a game this season because he feared his team' would get "thrashed within an Inch of its life." Art's reply Inferred the firemen would make mince meat of the police. Teams of the two departments have played for the post four years and honors have been equally divided— each team having won two games. This year's conflict will be the “rub ber” affair and both aggregations arc bent on being returned the victor. The "coppers” won last year, 7 to 2.

Creighton Prep nine defeated South High, last year champion, by a score of 12 to 8 at Athletic park yesterday afternoon. The game was slow until the final Inning, when the Hllltoppers bunched hits and brought in five runs. “Gits" Clark of the Packers whif fed 10 men before his arm gave out and he was replaced by Eugene Ku lawik, who yielded the Prepmen five runs, losing the game. WELL, the Omaha Buffaloes shook their Jinx” yesterday and walloped th* Wichita V itches for a 20 to 13 victory. To "Pug" Griffin belongs the hitting honors of the afternoon. "Pug” slammed out five hits out of a half dozen trips to the plate, and after all, that's a pretty good day's work. Of course, sonie of the "wolves” want a player to crack out a homer each I time he steps to the plate, but when a I ball player Is credited with five hits out of six chances against an oppos ing pitcher he Isn't doing so worse. Griffin got a triple and a homer, together with his three singles, all of which gave him a total base fig ure of 10, good enough In any man's league. Besides swinging a wicked stick, "Pug” stole two bases, scored rne run and put out two Witches. Thursday was a good day for Grif fn.
