Billy Ehmke of St. Paul and Tommy Commisky of Den- ver, light heavies, meet in the headliner. The latter has been seen in action here before and Ehmke has a record that stamps him as a real fighter.

Ross has the punct while Lynch ts credited with being clever and a ringmaster. Freeman Peppers and Harry Tate, the latter a sovthpaw from the copper mines of Butte, are the other principals. Peppers is well known by the local fans while Tate comes with a good record. The curtain raiser may prove the big hit of the evening. Al Knapp, ona time Denver but lately Casper heavyweight, {s down to take on One Round Barley of Torrington. ‘The latter is here to prove that you not only can take the boy from the country but that you can also take the country from the boy.

With a Sisler in anything approaching old-time form, the Browns are a pennant -contender; without him they are in a battle for the first division. As it will be observed, the Amert- can League clubs, with the excep- tion of the Yankees, are all uncer- tain quantities.

There is not reason to predict that the Babe {s going to slide this year. On the contrary, there are abundant causes to believe that he will be as valuable to his team and as spectacu- lar a player as he ever has been. Perhaps Ruth will not make a new home-run record.

By FAIR PLAY. (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 11.—Talk is heard in Newark, N. J., of a project on foot to bring Ad Stone, a native Jersey man, now residing in Phila- delphia and Stribling together in a 12 round bout. This inspires a Philadelphia fan to speculate why. New York and New Jersey should grab off all the plums, with Phila: delphia more or less om tn the cold. ‘This {s a hard question to answer. There is no keener sporting center than Philly and a good bout there would attract’as many fans as any- where else in the country. Perhaps the answer is that the promotion end of the game is not characterized by the initiative, the willingness to take a chance on a big money proposition that are shown in other places where real fights are held.

Since-Ilint won the eastern con- \ ference indoor title this winter and the Bears are outstanding on the Pacific coast this meeting should rank well up among the dual meets of the coming season. It had been hoped at Ogden, Utah, that when the Urbana stars arrived at that city on Aprii 21, enroute homeward, they might meet an all-Utah team. But this idea’ has been abandoned and In the course of their five hour stay in Ogden the athletes will in- dulge in a brief workout.
