BT LARRY GEORGE Company F. of the United States Cavalry stopped; at East Chicago over Sunday on their dusty way to Camp Custer. A couple of the more enterprising spur appliers thought they had an absolute gang of ball players. They went around the town with a good natured chip on their broad shoulders. The East Chicago Dodgers sauntered along, w the chip, and, presto, they knocked it off. The two teams squarred off for battle at Graver's ball park. Meade and Swec, ledger's battery, held a preliminary council of war. Thea the two strolled back to their respective positions. Meade added a little more Beech Nut to an already full mouth of chaw tobaccer, squinted knowingly at the willow that the army lead off man swung at him, and then wound hli. flinging spring up for the first 'rm.

Jack Coombs as he is today, and In fielder Frseman in action. Jack Coombs, once star pitcher with Connie Mack's great White Elephants and now baseball coach at Williams college, believes he has a coming big league wonder in Freeman, an -infielder on the Williams ftum. Freeman, who of course will be dubbed "Buck" if he ever do?s climb into the big show, handles himself well about the infield and is a Veady batter and baserunner, Coombs says.

Geo. "Wolf tried hard to beat the Fifleld five, but did not succeed as the team shot better every time Wolf would speak UPThe Fifleld five has hung up some interesting scores in their last four starts. The team collected over 2700 maples in every match. Elmer Hall also . shot a nice series with 615 Maples. Doc Moran and Wolf bowled on equal terms for the Kiwanis, each getting ISO score for the high game. Tonight the Colonials will bowl the McCools. These two teams will shoot in Milwaukee, and an interesting match is expected. The score of last night's bowling: FIFIEI-D

He supplied seventeen Dodgers with the means of free exercise by swinging at a ball that was not there. However, he weakened to the extent of seven blngles. Three of these were bunched in the eighth spelled his obituary. It was a good exhibition of baseballing. And the hundreds of rooters, army men and otherwise, had an enjoyable Sabbath day of it. The Cavalry manager vowed revengeance. He wants to play the Dodgers a return game. He threatens to come up here again with his team some time this summer to square matters tip. Anyway, you look at !t. it would be a great card.

By DAVIS J. WALSH (International News Service Sports Kditor) NEW YORK, April 25. It is all very clear, now. When a couple of business men like Messrs. Kearns and Dempsey set blithly forth on a pleasure tour of Europe, we raised the interrogative eyebrow and wondered who was going to pay" the luxury tax. Kearns and Dempsey are all for luxury but they pay the freight from the gate receipts. The first intimation that the receipt was about to lift itself from a feeble elbow and look around a home came yesterday. It came in the form of a cablegram from George McDonald. British promoter, to Dia Dollings, British fight manager now in this country. George wished to ask Dia what he might be t-ble to do from this end of the wire about a Dempsey-Wills fight in London. The cablegram read as follows: "Can you get Wills to come to London to box Dempsey. (Signed) George McDonald, Regent Palace, London, Southwest."

Ciuld 'ja get Wills? It seemed entirely possible. Mr. Wills appeared quite enamored of the idea and suggested that he might become restive waiting for the next boat to sail: However, that wouldn't do at all. These sort of things have to be "smoked up" with a bit of diplomacy and the hasty appearance of Wills in London might have the appearance of coarse work. The British would think they were being rushed into something. Therefore, Wills and his manager, Paddy

Mullens, were made to say that they would be ready to sail orvtJr about May 15. By that time, the groundwork for the bout, if any takes place, will have been carefully completed. London, Paris and the continent in general will have seen Dempsey and that lrrlsistible boyish grin, the newspapers will have deplored the fact over and over again that Europe has no man worthy of being sent into the ring with the champion.

Dempsey will have studiously avoided the faux pas of appearing in anything but exhibitions and in short, the public will be clamoring for an opportunity of seeing the champion in action against a real opponent before he returns to America. Enter then the dark and farsome Mr. Wills. Not before. That would be extremely bad business. He will just happen to appear upon the scene and Europe, which has no objection to mixed bouts, will be

ready to list to what he might have t5 say. He will be careful In his choice of words and actions, this Mr. Wills. He will be quiet, restrained, polite and altogeVer persistent. And long before negotiations are completed, the young bloods of London will be lining up waiting for the box office window to open. That bout, if held, will draw big and pay big. Pleasure trip? Well, perhaps. And then again, Dempsey may find himself in the position of the well and widely known bus driver who rode around on the front seat of his vehicle on his day off.
