Iwas done at even money. The
Ha are about evenly split up on
the question and the rank and file
of the fans seem to be in the sums
fix. Many took the. attitude that it
was a toss-up. "Fifty-fifty and take
your pick.“ was tlle expression heard
yesterday at nearly every point
where boxing fans gathered.
Gene Ten Years Younger.
More arguments could be adduced
in favor of Tunney. but there was al-
ways that undercurrent
that Gibbons. the veteran. will be
able to outsmart the local boy. Tun-
ney has youth. weight. reach and a
few other lllcidcntais ill ills favor.
He is approximately ten years
younger than Gibbons.
But despite all this the sharp»
shooters can‘t forget. the fact that.
this St. Paul llllll‘\'t'I battled\ fifteen
rounds with Jack Dempsey only two
years ago and came, out. of the fra-
cas unscathed. If Dempsey couldn‘t
do anything with Gibbons. except
outpoint him. wilat chalice has‘Tun.
ncy‘? That is the question that was
being asked repeatedly yesterday
when the Tunney backers became
too vociferous. It usually had a
cooling effect.
There. was surprisingly little bet-
ting yesterday and the prospects are
that little money will be on display
today. Both sides have been look-
ing for odds and thus far have been
unable to find them. The men are
so evenly matched that there is lit-
tle or no prospect of anything better
than even money before. the men
clilnb into the ring and go to work.
There seems to be good reason to
believe that the fight will go the ftrll
distance of fifteen rounds. with the
result hanging on a decision. 'l‘un-
my will have the. weight. and prob-
ably the. greater strength on his side.
but it would' seem as though he
would have to score a knockout in
order to win. Gibbons. one of the
smartest boxers ‘ithnt ever pulled on
a glove. will probably be able to
stave off 'l‘Ilnney's attacks and he
may be able to launch coulltcr- us-
saults that. will score him enough
points to-‘win him the verdict.
The. semi-final will be an eight-
round affair bringing together King
Solomon, a little, heavyweight of
Panama. and Quintin itomcro, of
Chile. What looks to be. one of the
best bouts on the program is a six-
round affair between Bud German.
Wisconsin heavyweight. and Jack
Dellave. of Washington Heights.
German is one of the best heavy-
weight prospects at the present time.
In another six-rounder Ray Neu-
man. of Jersey City. hooks up with
Bob Lawson. who says he is the Ne-
gro light heavyweight champion of
the “'OI‘Idi Bob is quite a battler
and will probably make matters
quite miserable for Neuman. The

it is true that Mr. Tolley allowed
his fair American rival a stroke
every other hole. Granted that this
is a terrific handicap to impose up-
on any golfer yet the fact remains
that a first class amateur can sur-
mount it in competition against a
woman star.
There have been seven men ver-
sus woolen matches at Stoke Pages
and ill only one of them i vs the
women prevailed.' The No cry of
the feminine golfers. as a. matter of
fact. occurred last season.
In this year s match the men won
and in the fact that Miss Collett de-
feated Mr. Tolley when he was at
the top of his form has caused Eng-
lish golfers to coincide with the
American opinion that the Provi-
dence girl is the pick of American
women golfers and ranking with
Miss Wethered and Miss Leltch as
the world's greatest. notwithstand-
ing she does not happen to hold the
championship of the United States.
Those who saw Miss Coliett play
for the first time at Troon were very
much impressed by the lack of cir-
cumstance about her game.
Her manner of addressing the
ball with hardly any evidence of
that preliminary “wagglc” which
marks most golfers' style excited a
great deal of favorable comment
while they are now debating wheth-
er or not her long swing. hcr'follow
through, is not the secret of her
succm‘ of her countrymen in the
art of driving a small globulo over
three or four miles of country.
The English golfing public has
had many opportunities of seeing
leading women players in action in
the past few years; they have seen
Miss Edith Cummings. Miss Marion
Rollins. Miss Alexa Sterling. Miss
Margaret Curtis and Miss Harriett.
Curtis, but the prevailing opinion
seems to be that the player from
Rhoda Island possesses qualities
that her sisters have not displayed.

NEW YORK. June 5.~——'I‘y Cobb's
Detroit Tigers have started their an-
nual effervesccnce. The question. as
in other years. ll whether they have
enough fin to carry them through
the season.
in the ides of May. the Detroit
took a whack at the old percentage
column and raised their general
score about 145 points. elevating
themselves out of last. place and
winning at a. little better than a. two
to one clip.
Last year the Tigers swept
through the east like a. tanning mill
cleaning up wheat. Suppose they
should get into a streak of that kind
in the East. this year on their first
round. which starts Friday. What
then? The ambitious Athletics
would soon have company.
Of course there are the St. Louis
and Cleveland teams to be overtak-
en. before the Tigers can claim. a
hearth in the first division. but if
they keep on as they are going now.
it won't take long to clear that
hurdle. Then there will he Chicago
and Washington standing between
them and a clash'with the leaders.
Detroit has shown some skill in
matching up with the Sex. In the
early part of the season it. was all
Chicago. Not so much so now. It
wouldn’t be surprising if these teams
went into the finals deadlocked. dis~
puting every inch of the way and
breaking even or thereabouts when
the shooting is all over. It will de-
pend a lot on whether the Chicago
pitchers can hold the pace.
But see what a time is coming if
the Tigers have finally come up to
the standard which everybody pre-
dicted for them in the spring. There
is a. lot of uphill fighting to set into
the charmed hols of the first divu-
ion. but if

but they don't play baseball in To-
ronto between December and April.
so he didn‘t get a chance to wear
a Toronto uniform. The Dodgers
released him to the Canadian ms-
tropolis and winter and the follow-
ing spring that club sent him to
Montgomery. Casey made a hit
with the boys next door by giving
them the stamps off his Canadian
mail. though. so tho winter wasn't
entirely lost.
While Stengel's big legauc career
started in 1912 when he played
seventeen games with the Dodgers
he didn't become a fixture in the
big show until the following year.
Placed in the outfield the spring of
1913 he played there year in and
year out until traded to the Pl-
rates in 1918. He was one of the
outstanding members of the team
that won a pennant for Brooklyn
in 1916.
He played in Pittsburgh until mid-
summer. 1919. when he was traded
to the Phils. For two years he
fought the sleeping sickness there
and then was rescued by John Mc-
Graw.
There was some criticism of Mc-
Grnw's judgment in grabbing Ston-
gel in the middle of the 1921 cam-
psign. Meal-aw felt. however. that
Stengel would protect him afield and
help him win his second pennant.

It was unfortunate that Cobb him-
self was not physically fit when the
season began. for had he been ready
to lead his team into battle the club
probably would now be in first divis-

The principal fault with the Yank-
sea is age—not ago in years. but age
in championships. The team is pen-
nant state. It can't get its fire back.

The next year conditions forced
