TUESDAY EVENING,
Wlllard will meet Dempsey there
July 4, 1919.
After the Johnson and Jeffri* af
fair at Reno the Legislature missed
a drastic anti-boxing law,
grew out of the distaste of tlft citi
zens for contests between whites and
blacks. The humiliating defeat that
Jeffries suffered at the hands of the
giant negro was not relished by the
patrons of boxing in that state. As
the present bill contains a clause for
bidding matches between blacks and
whites, it appears that the objection
to mixed matches still exists in that
state.
Although Nevada is a long dis
tance from the large cities of the
east, Rickard doubtless holds that
the lure of a 25-round bout without
danger of interference will draw
boxing enthusiasts from all over the
country.
Willard Has Fought in Nevada
Willard already has fought one
battle at Reno, and should feel quite
at home Uiere. He boxed a bout
with a chap named A 1 Williams at
Reno July 4, 1913, and won in the
eighth round.
Dempsey has boxed in many places
in. the west, but not in Nevada, and
if he faces Willard there it will be
his first fight in state.
Of the heavyweight bouts in which
the title has changed hands Louisi
ana has had two, Sullivan-Ryan and
Corbett-Sulllvan; Nevada has had
two, Fitz-Corbett, Jefferies-Johnson;
New Cork has had one, Jeffries-
Fitz; Australia one, Johnson-Burns,
and Cuba one, Willard-Johnson.
California, which produced two
champions, saw Jeff twice defend
his title, while Corbett's only cham
pionship match on the coast was as
a challenger of Jeff.
Coney Island has had three heavy
weight cnampionship fights, Jef
fries-Fitzsimmons, Sharkey-Jeffries
and Corbett-Jeffries.

Historic Battle When
Tech Meets Lebanon
The best scholastic basketball
contest of the season is scheduled
for Friday night at Chestnut Street
Auditoflum when Lebanon High
school will send the Red and Blue
squad, at present leading the league,
against the Tech High school five.
While it takes more than two swal
lows to make a summer, it takes
just two players to make a champion
team according to the l.ebanon
dope. Lebanon is leading the lea
gue with Roadfng, and is making its
record on the playing of two men.
Quinn at forward is the leading
scorer of the Central Penn circuit.
He has a knack of tossing fouls that
gives him the honor. But when
Quinn runs up against "•Hennie"
Kohlman, the Tech boys'say that
Quinn will change his name to
quince. The Tech sophomore knows
something too about chucking fouls,
and is sure to show the Lebanon lad
how to perform from the 15-foot
mark.
The othee star performer on the
visiting teaih will be "Poss" Miller,
alias "Red." This sorrel top plays
a guard position and often slips
through opposing defense for two-

Pittsburgh, Feb. 24.—Johnny Dun
dee, of Nhw York, won by .a slight
margin in ten rounds here to-night
with Johnny Ray, of Pittsburgh.
Ray tried hard for a knockout from
the outset, using slugging tactics.
The New Yorker took advantage of
this and by clever boxing, won six
rounds of the ten on points.
There seems to be a lot of discus
sion regarding the referee for the
tVlllard-Demijsey fight. Other fea
tures about the muss having been i
used up the referee question now
seems to be the leading factor in
keeping the flglit before the vorac
lo\A boxing fans. Some of the sug
gestions regarding candidates for the
job fail to take into consideration
the fact that any man who is to ref
eree a twenty-round fight under a
July sun yvill have to be able to stand j
the gaff. It also must be appre- |
ciatcd that men cannot qualify only I
on past performances as fighters. I
This should eliminate Jim Jeffries
and Jim Corbett. The question really
is not very vital, just as long as the
referee is a professional referee, of
known honesty and ability. The fight
is likely to end in a knockout-any
way, and even if it should go the
limit there would be little trouble in
naming the winner. Dompsey said
the other day, "X don't care who ref
erees, just as long as he can count
ten." That's about it.
READING WELCOMES O'BRIE.V
Reading, Feb. 24.—Pimping along
with tjie aiQl of a cane, Frankie
O'Brien, the Reading lightweight
pugilist, who was wounded in
France, was given a rousing recep
tion by his friends to-day when he
returned home unexpectedly for a
forty-eight hour furlqugh. O'Brien's
right thigh was badly cut by flying
shrapnel, but he expects to recover
the free use of the leg. In fact, he
has not given up hope of returning
to ttyfc ring when the wound is en
tirely healed.
M'LEAN'S GREAT DRIVE
PinehurNt, N. C„ Feb. 24.—The best
round that has been played on the
Number Three course at Pineliurst
for a long time past was made to
day by George McLean, the Great
Neck professional who finished in
35-35-70. Playing for the 15th, 300
yards, McLean reached the green on
his drive.

Dr. John B. Sutherland, formerly

appointed coach of the Lafayette

He was picked by many experts as
an All-Amerlcan guard the last year
he played at Pitt and in 1918 Walter
Camp placed him on his All-America

begin his duties at Lafayette early
next fall.

pointers. He is one of the most clev
er players in the high school ranks.
If Tech wins it will be half a game
behind Reading for the lead, and
.Lebanon will, go to second place.
Should Lebanon be victorious, the
visitors will have undisputed pos
session of first place and it will be
good-by to the pennant for the Ma
roon players.
In addition to the championship
game, there will be a class league
affair and the usual dancing fol
lowing the basketball.
Faculty Director Grubb, with the
assistance of Manager "Buss" Sny
der, is slowly preparing a schedule
for the football team of next fall.
To date Tech will go to Greensburg
for the annual contest. Another trip
will be to where the
academy eleven will be met. Leba
non High school will visit this city,
as will also Bethlehem Prep. Down
from York State will journey Flush
ing High school. The Hudson river
lads know something about the pig
skin game. Whether they can tell
Tech anything remains to be seen.
They were champions of New York
state last season hud made a great
' record.
What Reading Says
About Friday's Game
Reading, Pa., Feb. 2 s.—'While
Reading High lost at Lebanon last
week, the defeat does not kill the
Red and Black basketball team's
chances for the Central Scholas
tic League race. Lebanon is tied
with Reading for first place, but
the former is not counted on as
a pennant contender, as the odds
ai4; two to one that the locals and
Harrisburg Tech will end the
struggle in a deadlock.
Reading has a league game
this week and it will be at Steel
ton Saturday night. This should
be a victory for Reading, as Steel
ton does not class the locals, al
though basketball is so uncertain
that there is no telling what may
happen. It is remembered that
three years ago Reading lost at
Steelton, when the locals had.the
pennant cUnched.and at that time
Steelton f>ad the weakest team
of the league.
It is almost certain that Leba
non will not be in it at the finish
unless they turn the unexpected
by beating Harrisburg or Read
ing on either floor and winning
all the rest of their games. Al
lentown may be the team to upset
the dope, us they play sterling
basketball on their own floor.
The peanut town team beat Leba
non by nine points and are liable
to repeat over Harrisburg. Read
ing beat Allentown on the lat
ter's floor by live points and were
fortunate in playing them early
in the season, as they are going
at a good pace now.
The locals must beat Harris
burg on tne letter's floor to clinch
the pennant, providing they beat
Steelton and also win the remain
ing home games. Harrisburg and
Reading can still afford to lose
one game and yet be tied at the
end of the race, .while Lebanon
must beat either team away from
home to tie, which is almost an
impossibility.
His signed contract has been re
ceived from Savannah, Ga., where he
is living.
Jackson's desertion brought forth
criticism from Charles A. Comiskey,
president of the club. Jackson's de
parturo was followed by that of
Felsch, Williams and Lynn. Felsch
and Lynn have returned their signed
contracts.
GIANTS IN LINE
Ross Voung, the Giants' right
fielder, who was one of the real finds
of baseball last season, has signed
his contract and Baird, the promis
ing infielder from Louisiana, has also
signed up for the season. Secretary
John B. Foster said last night that
there was no real holdouts on the
club, and that h e expected that the
whole squad will be in the fold at
the end of this week. Chase's con
tract is expected early in the week.
The Giants now have more players
under contract than any other major
league club, and Manager McGraw
says that the outlook for his team
is more encouraging than in many
seasons. With Fletcher, Kauff, Mc-
Carty, Benton, Young and George
Smith and several of the youngsters
in line, the club has ceased to worry
about holdouts.
