in all Its glory. West meets west

ranks in the early days will be de
pleted by injuries and illness, but will
come to full strength when the sun
is wartpest.
this seasonal conflict gets un
der way the eyes of a quarter million
enthusiasts will be upon the foes. The
Y'ankee stadium in New Y'ork, base
ball's greatest structure, Is expected
to receive the largest throng, for
there the world champions of 1924—
led by the indomitable young general.
Stanley Harris—will do battle with
the Y'ankees of New York, for the
three preceding years champions of
the American league and of the world
in 1923.
Meanwhile, the National _ league
champions, the Giants, encounter the
Braves of Boston at the gigantic park
in Allston, where another enthusiastic
throng is predicted.
For the second time In three sea
sons the campaign will be started
Without the greatest of home run hit

weeks of the schedule had flown.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb, for nine
years the American league's leading
hatter, also is a victim of illness,
while the inimitable Walter (Rabbit)
Maranville, formerly of the Hraves
and Pirates, will be unable to take
his position with the Oliirago Cubs,
having suffered a broken leg in train
ing. Denver Grigsby of the Cubs has
a broken collar bone; .loe Hauser, first
baseman of the Athletics, has a
broken knee cap: Fred Heimach of
the Athletics ban a sprained right
shoulder and numerous smaller in
" juries will handicap the clubs at the
start.
Another face that has been familiar
to baseball followers for many years
will l»e ini-sing—tiiat of Stuffy Mc!n

letics' brilliant outfit, and a player
who went through an entire season
with only one error. Melnnis has
been released unconditionally by the
Boston Braves for his refusal to ac
cept a cut In salary and report to the
training camp.
But iheio will be new figures. Jim
Poole, slugger of tbe Pacific Coast

take the maimed Hauser's place with

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHAMP
AND HIS MANAGER OF TEN YEARS
REVEALED AS PURELY FINANCIAL
Fight \\ itli Tommy Gibbons

Last Fight Before
Retirement.
By DAVIS .1. WAI.SII,
International \>w» Rerrlro Staff
Correspondent.
New York. April 13.—Jack Demp
spy, the well known husband, will
take part In one more public alterna
tion before retiring permanently to a
life of ease a mb refinement, the locale
being California, probably Dob An
gelea, the time, September, and the
party of the unfortunate second part, I
Tom Gibbons. Harry Will* la out
like an ex window. So Is New York
is the scene of the occasion. If any.
The entile program is contingent on
whether Dempsey decides to step out
for one more shot at the big money.
Quarreling Over Split.
That Is the situation as it exists
today. "Word has reachced the east
that the champion has been ap
proaehed with tentative plans to box
Gibbons in California, and baa lent
a willing ear. Nothing, however, can
be definitely decided until the Demp
sev Kearns situation Is cleared up.
Kearns may or may not be the
champion's manager when the fight
takes place, a showdown on this
question being imminent. It will be
strictly financial, according to the
best ndtiees.
Dempsey, they say, no longer Is
willing to split 50-.">n with Kearns,
and will not fight at all If anyone
tries to force this angle of the sit
uatlon on him.
Champ Avoids Wilts.
Just why the champion refuse* to
do business with Wills Is a matter
upon which he has not committed
himself One guess Is as good aa an
; other and mine Is that Dempsey, out
of the ring for nearly two years, re
Sards the colored man as too tough
to take on without getting at least
one start out of his system. As It Is
virtually certain that he will fight
only once. If then, Wills will get the
wide detour again.
Since the New York state athletic
commission has accepted Wills’ rhal
lenge and Dempsey has not gpen fit
to accept It, a Dempsey-Oibhons
match Is barred here automatically.
The most natural spot, therefore, Is
California, and In due time Gibbons
will come forward aa the challenger
there.
Gibbons Marks Time.
For severs 1 reasons, be cannot do
so at this time. One of them Is that
lie has not been made^fc, offer, as
yet. Another Is that several
bouts in prospect notably
among which la his srb^^ld meeting
with Gen* Tunney, and wants to
harvest his eastern rrnp before turn
lng to the west.
Once he accept* or even negotiates
publicly for s Dempsey shot. Gib
bons will be placed on the Ineligible
list here He Is fully aware of this
fact, and Is willing to tak* the con
sequence*—and the dollar* that go
with them.

GE.S E SAP * ZEN S grip of a golf
club moi t nearly approac hes
the baseball grip than that of
any other successful golfer that I
have ever seen.
The obvious difference Is that the
little finger of Gene's right hand goes
between the first and second fingers
of his left. But his left thumb does
not go Into the palm of his light hand
as in tlie orthodox golf grip. Jlis
light thumb crosses ttie shaft more
than the usual golf grip.
It Is worth noting that the force of
the blow falls across his wrists in a
wav which makes it impossible for
them to yield much to It.

"IHIW-IJSGGKU” SH \FT«I.
WITHIN IIip last few weeks
thousands of set* of golf
cluhs liave been dragged
from garret, closet and locker, and
pressed into service at dub "open
ings." In some cases tlii* ha* been
like a renewal of acquaintanceship
with old friends, while in many
others Hie opening links performance
lias been attended w till more or less
chagrin, because the hickory shafts
have heroine so warped that the
clubs look "bow-legged." If a golfer
walks to Hie first tee witli a mis
shapen collection some "friend” is
liable to ask where lie picked up
"bow-legs.”
Such an observation of course
could not be made when a golfer
uses steel-shafted clubs, for they do
not warp.
By the way, steel shafts are more
numerous than ever in a majority of
golf bags today. Recently an official
of a company which handles mere
golf cluba than any other concern in
the United States stated that in
fhecking up the sales a short time
since it was found that 65 per cent
of the cluhs sold were steel shafted.
There are various explanations, the
two outstanding ones being that steel
shafts last longer, will stand up
under harder usage and neglect, and
aie not affected by weather condi
tions.
