- .'; 7-;, :
London, May 7. TJ. N.) The Amer

top form, is beginning to create - con
sternation among British sportsmen who
have watcher the players working
out on the various playing fields this
spring. f i r ',
The Americans hold practice daily, and
this practice, 'sporting writers declare,
Is making them whirlwinds. As an in
dication of the strength of the organi
zation. In the first match on Knglish
soil the visitors rolled up 14 points to 1
for Hurlingham, their "test" opponents.
In this game the invaders displayed dash
and brilliancy tn riding- and hitting that
brought excited comment from the spec
tators. They scored three goals in the
first four minutes of play, with Stod
dard playing at No. 1, Rumseys usual
place. And Rumsey Is far more accu
rate even than Stoddard.
Plenty of Competition
A total of 78 games were played in
this season's renewal of the famous Eng
lish cup soccer competition. It is run
on the lose and out plan. Tottenham

of games between the foremost teams
drew over 2,000,000 spectators, who paid
nearly 11,000,000 to enjoy the sport.

Jim Corbett
May Referee
Title Battle
jEW TORK,. May 7. (U. P.)
With the naming of the site and
the date for the Dempsey-Carpentler
scrap; the next important detail Is
the selection of a referee. :
The champion and the challenger will
be allowed to decide upon the third man
in the ring from a list of six prominent
ring figures listed In the original
agreement. ... ;
six iir ntnnvnf o
James J. Corbett, James Jeffries,
James Dougherty, Robert KdgTen, Otto
Kioto land Bill Brown comprise the list
of candidates.
Recently it has been reported that this
list is not binding and that Jim Coffroth
might be named.
The choice of the principals is subject
to the approval of Tex Kickard, pro
moter, of the bout. 1 f '
While Rickard has not opened his
mouth on the question, it is understood
he favors Corbett. The former heavy
weight champion Is a very popular man,
has a big name in 'the sport and his
presence in the ring would be a step
farther in Rickard's plan to make the
show the greatest in history.
IS HXxn HIGH - r
. Corbett is high in the esteem of Car
pentier and De scamps but this may cause
disfavor in the Dempsey camp. n
The same may be said of Bob Bdgren,
former sport editor of the New York
Evening World, who is a personal friend
of the champion, which may cause him
to be opposed in the French fold.
Bill Brown perhaps is the least known
of the sextet out of New York. He is a
prominent referee with long experience in
the ring. He Is reported to be Governor
Miller's choice for the chair of the new
state boxing 1 commission- The other
candidal fin nre.-wUn"owu,sbyt are not
so prominent. " v !
WANTS FBE3TCH JUDGat
"Any one of the officials suggested
would be satisfactory to us," Jack
Kearns, manager of the champion, said.
De scam pa' attitude is not known, but
Victor Breyer, Rickard's Paris agent,
recently cabled here that De scamps had
suggested to him it would not be a bad
idea to have a Frenchman for one of
the judges.
Under the no-deelsion regulations
which prevail in New Jersey much of
the responsibility will be removed from
the shoulders of the referee. Judgment
In counting and accuracy of the eyes In
detecting fouls will be the most import
ant requisites.

Dempsey May
Box Brennan
Return Bout
r By Jack Teleek
N
EW YORK. May 7. (I. N. S.) Jack
Dempsey is marking time these days,
waiting for his coming battle, with
Georges Carpentier to roll around July 2.
Since he won the. title, Dempsey has
done a lot of marking time. His bouts
with Billy Miske and Bill Brennan have
been the only ones of any importance in
which he has ! appeared, and Manager
Kearns has often lamented the fact that
opponents have been so scarce.
3TOT TO BE LOXESOME
Dempsey will not be such a lonesome
champion In the future, however, if pres
ent indications do not go amiss. There
are several heavyweights eager to min
gle with Jack who are merely waiting
until after the Carpentier bout. , '
If Dempsey beats the Frenchman and
he will be a ringside favorite he will
have only a short time- to rest, up before
he must start training for his Labor day
affair with Jess Wlllard. Tex Kickard
has this match sewed up and means to
go through with lt-
In addition to Wlllard. there is talk of
a return bout between1 Dempsey and Bill
Brennan. Fred Fulton Is also on the
trail of the champ, and Bob Martin and
Bob Roper are coming on. Harry Greb
is another battler who insists that he
wants a chance at Dempsey, : but it
would seem that in the face of Greb's
recent attitude toward a match with
Tommy Gibbons he must be joshing the
public. : .
PROSPECTS ARE MA3TY
Greb was offered a bout with Gibbons
by Dave Driscoll, the demon Jersey City
promoter. Driscoll wanted Sir Tom and
the Pittsburg battler the worst way and
was prepared to give them a liberal slice
of the gate. But Greb wouldn't see it.
He told Driscoll he would rather have
Gibbons in Pittsburg, where "we could
draw much better."
Still on the trail of Greb, Brennan,
Martin and the champion himself. Tom
my Gibbons goes on his way, merrily
knocking off opponents the promoters
are able to get for him. He has disposed
of three men in four rounds in his last
three bouts up to this writing, beating
Al Reich in one, Paul Sampson In two
and Sergeant Norcross in one. With
such a heavyweight championship pros
pect as Gibbons coming on and the Car
pentier and Wlllard matches in view, the
curly-headed champion will have an op
portunity to make quite a profitable
thing out of bis -title.
Promoters of the annual Berwick. Pa-,
Mara than run annually Thanksgiving

course are planning to Increase the dis

Pirates of !'09
Are Shining
Stars Again
JTEW YORK, May 7. -(I. N. S.)
Stars, .who dazzled the eyes of
baseball fans eleven years ago are
twinkling once more, the brand of
baseball that triumphed in the Na
tional league pennant race and the
world series of 1909 is being felt to
day fn the senior major league.
Babe Adams and Mooney Gibson are
responsible. This famous old Pirate
battery Is the brains of the 1921 Pitta
burg team which ' leads the league to
day with a percentage of .800.
ADAMS ATS INSPIRATION ,
With the season a little over three
weeks old. the fast-going Pirates have
lost but three games ' out of 15 played
up to date and wnle baseball critics in
general predicted 1 nice things for Gib
son's team, no one was daring enough
to say it would be leading the league
at this stage. i, .
The pitching of Babe Adams has been
as much an inspiration to the members
of Pittsburg's hurling staff as It has
been a surprise to random. , No one
dreamed that the once 1 great "Babe1
could stage a wonderful come-back. But
he has done it and Is doing it.
Adams' presence Mn i the Pittsburg
Hneun is valuable because of the aid
he can give Gibson in the capacity of
first lieutenant and It Is a certainty
that these foxy old battery mates are
working together in mapping out Pitts-
b lire's battle campaign ; Just as tney
once worked on the mound and behind
the bat. r ...
YOTJHG8TEB A STAS
Two more outstanding - features In
Pittsburg's early 1 success this season
mav be found in Rabbit. Maranville and
Tlerney, the young lnflelder who is
holding down third base. Maranville
has successfully filled the gaping hole
that appeared when Hans Wagner left
the pastime and. Tlerney' s work has
been unexpectedly brilliant. ... -y
