ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 1.—Guns of the navy which were charged and primed late last November against the ticket scalpers and the theatrical managers of Broadway were fired broadside to aay when it was announced that the N would play the annual footha’l game with the Army next fal! in Baltimore, Ad Wilson, commandant of the Navy, tn announcing that the gam’ 11d be played in Baltimore on November 29, did not mention the threat that the Na made against Broadway last fall when theatrical managers doubled and trebled the price for tickets on the night of the Army-Navy game. Officers here admitted unoftctally, however, that while Admiral Wil- fon may not have had the motive of blasting at Broadway, his selection of Baltimore had the same effect. Admiral Wilson said that two other places had been considered The University of Pennsylvania stadium in Philadelphia was re jectod because of its Hmited seating capacity, The Yankee stadium tn New Work was not accepted, he said, because the trip from Anna- polls was too much of a burden upon the navy. The Baltimore stadium, Admiral ‘Wilson said, will provide seating ac- commodations for between 70,000 and 72000 spectators and it would be possible under this arrange- ment to give the Army and Navy athletic associations 32,000 tickets each. Under the agreement between the two service academies, the navy is permitted to choose the place for the game on even years, and it was the privilege of the navy to decide this year where the game was to be played. NEW YORK, March 1—Broad- way theatrical managers today ac- cused navy officials of resorting to “pop gun and sham battle’ warfare in selecting Baltimore instead of New York for the annual Army- Navy football game next November. ‘The navy yelled ‘mad dog’ last November when ticket prices were raised the night of the Army-Navy game and threatened to take the ame away from New York. We told them to take their game any place they wanted to and we say the fame thing now,” one prominent wnanager said. Prices were advanced last fall on the night of the big game for very natural reasons, {t was sald.

America which is to take the team to the games. Julius H. Barres, treasurer of the committee, paid $40,000 of the $160,- 000 which has been guaranteed to the shipping board for the use of the ship. The committee is gratified at the response to its urgent appeal made earlier in the week for funds when it appeared that the committee would have to give up its charter on the ship and forfeit the initial deposit because of a need for $24 000. In announcing that the funds for the first payment had been raised, the committee recalled that its work hardly has been started as another Payment of $40,000.48 due on April 1.

The Olympic Committee must accommodate several thousand ath- letes, and the city itself must be able to take care of the thousands of visitors over, a period of five months, Although very little of a definite nature has been done so far, tourist and hotel organizations and games committee;men are alive to the un- Precedented situation.

The chateaw is not large enough for all the American ath letes, but comfortable huts can easily be erected on the grounds. The English team will also have a private house, The Italians have reserved a villa in Neuilly, and most of the Swiss team have made re- servations in the Hotel Moderne.

The hotel proprietors organization has appointed a committee to study the best means for simplifying the reception of visitors who will come here for the games, Plan of Billeting The Office Central de Tourisme has made great progress with a bil- leting scheme. It reports that al- ready it has on file 300 rooms in Private families that will be avail- able for Olympic visitors on April 15 at prices ranging from 15 to 40 francs, and promises that this num- ber will be greatly increased. The billeting plan appears to be the best solution and the Paris press has started agitation to interest pri- vate familles and gain co-operation. Thousands of families with big houses are being pinched by the low franc and high living cost and they are only too anxious to rent rooms. Visitors may be assured that they will find no shortage of gaiety in the night life of Paris.

BABE SAYS HE WILL BE OUT OF BED SOON HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 1.— Babe Ruth, from his bed at the Majestic hotel here, where he is suf. fering from an attack of the “flu” tonight declared he was going to leave for the Yankee's training quarters March 5. “I am feeling lots better already and would ike to be out riding now," Ruth said, “but the doc thinks I ought to stay in bed one more day.” The news that Ruth was improv- ing was welcomed by the hundreds of visitors at Hot Springs who are interested in the Babe's fight against the flu. Dr, W. T. Wooton announced the slugging king of baseball was “slightly improved with indications for a speedy recovery.” Many of Ruth’s friends called on him during the day and assisted a comely nurse in keeping him in a cheerful mood. * Walter Johnson on coming from the sick room, said Ruth was in the best of spirits. —— GAS PLANT IS DEFEATED BY LONE POINT Featured by stellar playing on both sides the game played at Salt Creek last night between the Mid- west Gas Planb and the Casper Methodist ended in a 31 to 80 score in favor of the Casper quintet.

FARRELL (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, March 1.—‘Jack Dempsey's ashamed to be seen in a night gown. ‘That's all that's the matter with him. He'll be better than he ever was in another week.” This report from the bedside, where Dempsey was reported with a sliced anatomy and'a wrecked sareer, was made late this after- noon by Teddy Hayes, secretary and companion of the world’s heavy- | weight champion. “Dempsey was sitting on the side of the bed In the hospital this morn- ing when he read in the papers that he had suffered a relapse and was in a serious condition, that he had een operated on for a bad hernia ind never would be able to fight again. He had a good iaugh and sald if they wanted to bury him now, he'd hate to get real sick on heir hands,” Hayes said. The champion, according to his secretary, was up today and walked around the hospital visiting several af his sick neighbors. He enter- ained two little East Siders who came to deliver a package at the hospital and asked the nurse if they couldn't see “de champ." Dempsey saw them and autographed some cards for them, “They had {talian names and the champion had a tough time spelling them on che autograph,” Hayes said. Dempsey is feeling well enough now to receive his friends, but he ig sticking to a resolution to “let none of the boys see me in this aightgown.” ‘The champion knew that it would innoy the hospital attendants if he ‘eceived too many visitors and he lecided that if he could not see all of his friends, he would receive none of them. The operation, according to Dr. Robert E. Brennan, who performed t was for a fistula and hemmor- hoids, not for hernia, “Dempsey will be out of the hos- pital in a week or ten days and he will be in condition to defend his Utle early in the spring if he wants He repeated previous declarations that the operation had been a suc- cess and that Dempsey's condition was more than satisfactory. “Jack ought to be better the next time he fights than he ever has been,” Hayes said. “He was bothered in his training for the Gib- bons and Firpo fights last summer and was not able to get himself into perfect condition. He knew that An operation was the only means of getting permanent relief and he de- cided upon it. “If Dempsey wanted to have some kind of a secret operation, he would not have selected a prominent hos- pital in New York and would not have made it public that he was going on the table,”.Hayes said. While the rumors about the re- lapse were given some credence here, the wise birds laughed a little and hinted that the “steam was “The ballyhoo has st: Dempsey-Gibbons fight one well known manager said. “It wouldn't look bad at all to boom up the fight by having it believed that a poor, wrecked champion was going to be forced to defend his title against .a powerful, strong fighter in the bloom of perfect health.

Miss Edith Cummings, the new champion, has not been a public idol long enough yet to see a camera man without fear and trembling. At first she declined to be photo- Braphed. “Really, don’t notice me,” she said. ‘Honestly, I don’t believe People are interested in me one bit.” Finally, like a sensible girl, she surrendered. “I suppose that it is your business, and I should look at it that way and give in to you,” she said. “Come on.” She jumped from the end of the veranda and for the next ten min- utes posed at every fresh request for a new shot, and was so delighted at the way the photographers treated her that she was all smiles when they left. Miss Alexa Stirling is a good woman golfer to snap. She poses admirably, falling right into the spirit of the shot the camera man is trying to make.
