The purse of a half million dollars offered for the Dempsey-Carpenticr fight still holds pood. Tix Rickard said Thursday he had put no proposition to the principals to work on a percentage basis. "When Carpentier comes to this country I will talk it over with him and may offer it as a suggestion," Rickard said. The Frenchman proba"bly will not return to America until the first of .May as the agreement required both principals to bo on the scene 00 days before the bout. Still After Frenchman. Frank Moran is still holding tho Frenchman for a match and there is a lot of sentiment over there in his favor since ho took the step to pugillftic greatness- on tho pros- J träte neck of Joe Beckett. j "If the uncertainty of th 'big J match' continues we will give him a ; light." Oescamps said. ! However, as lonj ns there is a i 1 har.ee to collect that $200. 000 ! purse or tho forfeit of Tex Rickard, ' tho wise ones on tho other Fiele do net rpet Carpentier to give Mornn or any other fair fighter any more than the chance to take a good look at him.

SPEAKER DECLARES INDIANS WILL WIN WITH EVEN BREAK ; Cleveland Manager-Star Savs 1 Team is Stronger Than i Last Year. BY JACK Y1JIOCK. i r.y International News Service: NFW YORK, Mar. 10: "We will enter the next pennant race with a better team than wo had last year. . If wo ret anywhere near an even ; break In the luck, we will wind up I on top." I Tris Speaker, pilot of the world i champion Clevelands sent this prediction to tho International News Service Thursday from Oallas, Tex., where the Tribesmen are in training. ''With more than a week of good training under our belts without injuries to any player and every man in good health and working at top speed, I am not worrying about what tho opposition will have." speaker continued. 'So far none of the clubs that tlguro to make a light for tho pennant have shown me anything better than I liave in the held. "I think, however, that the Yankees and Browns will be very strong and I look for a good race. Relies On Ilurlcrs. "Coveleski and Ragby, our pitching mainstays last season, hid fair to havo just as much success next summer. Covey will ppring something on the American League batsmen in the way of a perfected finger nail ball and within tho strictest interpretation of tho rules, too that will surprise them. I expect to see him get away from tho use of tho ppltbaU altogether. "I believe every ono of our players will show improvement. Young Sowell, for instance will surprise) everybody this year unless I am badly mistaken. I expect him, to shino us ono of tho best infielders in tho league before tho season ends. He showed everyone what kind of stuff ho had when ho hopped Into tho recent world's series with very little previous major league experience and played grand baseball. "Ray Caldwell tells mo his nrm !s better this year than ever before Babgy says ho expects to win as many games as he did in 1920, and so it goes on down the line. All of the players are enthusiastic and eager for the bell to ring, and with tho wonderful training weather wo have been having, thero is no doubt that wo will be ready to a man. Sox new outfielder to come to bat. and also brings on a celebration is: Hooper up! Tho weather man can let all of his rain loose now so he'll run totally out of moisture by opening day as far ns the fans are concerned. Wanted: A home for the Akron club. A short time ago It woi so many days until Christmas. Now that "so many" is applied to opening day. At lean the allied generals know where their fight will "be held. Rickard, please note. Indoor track men. like Ter and his big bout, ran around In circlet. Tris Speaker should carry his western cowboy hat back to Clveland And use it for "a diamond tar-raulin.

BROWNSOH TRACK MEN WINNERS AT INTER-HALL MEET

McGivern of Carroll High Point Man, Making Great Showing. Rrownson Hall le i the way at the Interhall track and field meet at Notre Dame Thursday afternoon winning with 42 1-3 points. Corby finished second with 32 and tho others finished as follows: Carrol! 27 1-.", Radin 10, Walsh 9 1-3. OffCampus Z 1-3. McGivern of Carroll was high point man, followed closely by Kohin, Kennedy, and Bergman. McGivern was the cleane?; looking athlete of the afternoon, takir.c tho 4 0 yard dash and low hurdles after poor starts In both events and finishing fecund in the hjqh hurdles and broad jump. The Chicago lad is still a prep of 17 and bears the promi.se of a real dash man. Walsh, his teammate took tho 220 and scored in tho 4 ) yard dash and hih jump, the two counting '23 of their team's total. Johnson, a gosling of 16 tacked on the balance. Kohin Takes 1 1 unites. Kohin was the Rrownson strong man, taking tho high hurdles and broad jump and sec ring in the low hr.lu'.s arid high Jump. Barber, Cameron, Moes, and Geegan wero nsistnit entries and ran the Prownsou total to the top notch. Kennt dy continued his monopoly on the half-mile ar.d mile, leading the pack all the way. Geegan. after taking second place in the quarter attempted to pass Kennedy in the half-tnilo and a pretty raco was spoiled when tho challenger turned his knee. Bergman figured prominently throughout the meet scoring in the 4 0 yard dash, low and h'gh hurdles and relay. Loosch and Cahill, tho only Radin entrants, took first, second and third in the three attempts. Walsh stepped away from the field in tho 4 40. Ifrownson made its heavy haul and cinched the? meet by dragging 9 2-3 points from the polo vault. Tho relay was in doubt until the final judge's decision, Danny Coughlin shooting over the finish into a nose dive but winning tho event from Brownson which had hung doggedly on its heels all the way. McTierr.an and Walsh of Carroll gave a pretty exhibition of running for a lost cause after their first men had flivvered. Summary. 40 yard low hurdles 1, McGivern. C; 2, Bergman.

EASY WIN OVER ANGOLA IS SEEN Benders Plan For Clash With Anderson Five in State Finals. BY ORANGC AND BLI'Il The Orange and Blue basket tossers are scheduled to leave at 10:20 o'clock this morning over the Vandalla to Journey to the regional tourney at Purdue university where they will match up with Angola at 7:30 o'clock Saturday evening. The locals won the honor to compete in the regional tourney by defeating Mishawaka in tho finals of the sectional tourney, held at the "Y" court March 4 and Z. Tho locals are doped .to take over the Angola crew by a large score. Last Fensen the Orange ami Blue squad met them in the first clash in tho state tourney and had little trouble in subduing them by a large margin. Angola has practically the 6ame lineup as last season, but with an additional year of training will prove a stronger contender. Like tho Benders. Angola has taken Kendallville oer on their homo floor, but lost to them at Kendallvllle. This is the only team that both fives have met and Is the only possible way of comparing the .strength of the quintet. It must also be remembered that Capt. Nylkos and Co. were in their midseason slump when they met their reverse by Ke-ndalhiile. These facts show South Bend a far superior five than KendailvIIIe outüt. and thus make the locals somewhat superior to Angola. Tho following week Coach Hast ing men will take on Anderson at tho state tourney. Anderson in placed by most scribes as rating first In the rtate. The Benders will meet the acid test In that affray. During the past week the locals have worked out at an easy pace in order to keep in perfect condition. The five shows maj-kod improve ment and will be a hard team to ,

upset.
