BY, DENMAN THOMPSON. EW YORK, April 9.—An old-fashioned slugging bee similar to that of yesterday in Washington was staged between the Griffs and Giants today. It was a paralle] oi Friday's affair in that the New Yorkers copped by a margin of one run, the tally being 9 to 8. but in many respects it was vastly different. or one thing there was more base ball on tap. both quality and quantity., the contest runming into the thirteenth inning. and it was flavored with the alway spectacular 7 zest of the marathon wallop. No less than three circuit swats were un- covered in the course of the two hours and forty minutes, and each was produced at a juncture where its importance as a factor in the general result would be most emphasized. The first of the trio was manufac- tured by Ed Gharrity jn the fourth inning, when he pummeled one of || 13 UNLUCKY—FOR shufflin’ Phil_Douglas’ moist shoots into the left-fleld bleachers.

PHILADELPHIA, April 9—East and | west will stage a struggle for ath- | etic supremacy at the Pennsylvania i relay carnival here April 29 and 30. In the special events, it is almost icertain that Paddock of California, |points which are al 1 Olympic sprint champion, will enter | cussion the 100-yard competition as the: Pacific slope’s star contender, against Seurin, the French sprinter. Simmons and Loesch of Michigan, Deering of Nebraska and Massengale of Missouri will be here also. The east will have to oppose these men Lever of Penn- sylvania, Leconey of Lafayette and F.

In the 120-yard hurdie the east will have Thomson of Dartmouth. world record holder and Olympic and inter- collegiate champion,” and Barron of Pennsylvania State, the American chumpion. The west will hauve Enollin | of Wisconsin, Gallagher of Kansas and Yount of Redlands, Calif. Desch of Notre Dame is one of the favorites for the quarter-mile hurdle, and Anderson of Wisconsin. Kilby of Redlands and Belding of lowa State also are entered, leading the experts ! to predict that the west will take the | event. The experts also pick the west to win the hop, skip and jump, and be- cause of the entry of Jenne of Wash- ington State they are inclined to the same forecast for the pole vault. The is doubtful and in the high Jump the east is favored, but by a slight margin. Harvard, it was said. will send a larger force to the carnival than for several years. A team will appear in the sprint medley April 29 and an- other in the one-mile relay champion- ship the following day. Harvard will have several men in the special events. FOSTER TO CONTRIBUTE BASE BALL FEATURES John B. KFoster, one of the best authorities in the country, will write daily features for The Star, beginning tomorrow. He was for Seven years secretary of the | Giants and for thirteen years editor of the official base ball guide.

N EW YORK, April 9—With the long awaited official announcement today that the Dempsey-Carpentier heavy-weight championship bout would be fought in the state of New Jersey on the after- noon of July 2, interest among local ring followers ‘turned to the probable ‘place of the contest and the training plans of the principals. Efforts to obtain a definite statement from Promoter Tex Rickard as to the site of the contest were without succ to Newark, Atlantic City or Jersey his announcement. He said he had received favorable offers from all three cities and would personally inspect the locations sug- gested before he would be in a pos tion to make a final decision. It is expected he will devote the coming week to an examination of the plots offered and announce his selection within the next ten days. Jersey City Likely Spot. While there has been nothing official upon which to base the report, it ap- pears to be the general opinion among those who have Jfollowed the match negotiations that Jersey City will be the ultimate choice, all conditions and advantages being equal. This is based upon Rickard's repeated asser- tions that he desired to stage the bout in or as rear to New York ci as possible, owing to the large popu lation from which to ‘draw his pat- ronage! Between Newark and Jerse City there is little choice in either time or travel conditions, but the dis tance to Atlantic City and the fact the accommodations may be hard to get over the Fourth of July holidays |may militate against the seashore re- sort. It was this desire to locate the bout close to a large center of popu- {lation which caused the ultimate turning down of several excellent of- fers from points in Canada, Maryland and western states.

New Jersey legislature has d and cannot be reconvened ex- n call by the state executive, to make any on of the fighting ability of the two pugilists, he said he did not think the inability to render an official de- cision, as would have been the case had the bout been held in New York state, would have the slightest effect on the attendan ce.© He _confidently predicted the attendance would be the largest that ever witnessed a championship ring bat- tle. E rly Demand for Seats. Applications for seats have been ac- cumulati ng for some weeks without re- gard to the possible site for the ring, which Rickard attributes to the ex- traordinary interest aroused in the first really international hea vweight bout in several decades. Another unusual angle lies in the fact that the two hoxers are matched on a percentage basis, instead of the flat sums which it has been Rickard's cus- | tom -to p: ay in the past. With Dempsey and Carpentier drawing 60 per cent of the gate receipts it is considered like- Iy that_their share will be larger than and Jeffe 0 paid to Willard and_Demp- erics when they ‘boxed under Rickard's arrangement at Reno in 1910.
