extent of $300,000 by the failure of
the Federal league, due to the activ
ity of the major leagues.

ager, and party, for a rest before
sailing for Europe on the Aquitania,
Tuesday.
.The champion will leave New

prospect and with only the haziest
of plans. He says. he is anxious to
meet the best-Europe can offer, pro
viding the purse is satisfactory.
Mentioning Carpcnticr, Joe Beckett,
Bombardier Wells, "or any one' else"
he said he would jump at the chance
to take them on.
Harry Wills,- the negro heavy
weight, who is. being groomed for a
bout with Dcmpscy, holds no-terrors
for ' the qhampion. Dempsey
said that because of some prejudice
against a mixed match in this coun
try, it might be best to hold such a
contest itv Europe, but he'added that
he is willing to meet Wills at home.
Dcmpscy intimated that Kcarns was
dickering with English promoters
for such a match.
Accompanying - Dempsey and
Kcarns. will be ' Teddy Hayes, the
champion's secretary, and Joe Ben
jamin, a stable mate.

worry about. .
That outiicld, for instance. Miller.'
(lie boy that Mtowctl sum great tortii
in the closing days ot tnc r'-i race,
is a fixture in center. That's settled,
When Ruth and Meusel arc again
eligible to play the remaining posi
tions will be settled. Hut until tlieu
Huggins ha to di? tip two capable
fielder to fill in. Onc tentative pick,
for left field, is Chick 1'cwster. He's
a good ball player and ha played
the outfield, but Ins forte appeared
to be in- the infield. Bobby Roth
should have taken the oilier job
without much opposition but Bobby;
recalcitrant as ever, has been banish
ed from the team. Scliang is a pos
sibility, but Schang is a better catch
er than outfielder and worth more
to the Yankees behind the bat.
Remaining arc a flock of young
;.tcr only one of whom appears to
have a chance, lie is Haines, tor
jner Tcnn State athlete. Glenn Kil-
linger, the All-Anicricaii footballer,
sort of flivvcrcd as a second hnsch.
If. Huggins decides to use Schang
in the outfield, he will, for the period,
be weakening his catching depart
ment. Dcvornier and Hoifman are
good enough to round out the staff,
but neither compares with Walty.
The infield is wrapped tip and
ready for use nihy. Tipp will be at
first. Ward at second. Scott 'at short
and Baker at third. The one change
Scott for Pcckinpaugh, brings a
slight reduction in batting." strength,
but there's no disparaging ..Scptt as
a shortstop. Mike McKally, a great',
fielder, McMillan, a great batter and'
Mitchell are the extra ' inficlders.
Fewstcr will be added to tlie" .- list
w hen he gets through with ' his. out
fielding assignment. 'All' around it's'
a darned good infield crew.'. - - -The
pitchers? '. Digest ' , some

ii incse live no as wen inis year ;
and!,no one ever expects to do
worse there's the pennant for the
Yankee. The point is, will they do
as well? To balance his pitching
staff, Huggins has acquired the
conventional southpaw. He Is
O'Doul, from the Coast league.
Huggins thinks he's good enough for
a regular and looks good to replace
Harper, now ailing, as ti.rst , aid

pected to have fully-20,000 before he

opinion of a majority of fans that
Ruth's suspension uiUil May 20. im
posed whcn. Jie' persisted in playing
on a "barnstormitigvtour'' last fall
should be lifted, that .the public may
see hiin in-action -and that he may
attempt to make another home run
record. .,
"We do not censure Judge Landis
for enforcing this rule," it says, "but
we think he should consider the
public and' take steps to have the
rulq revoked." -
