S .‘., Business Nine Can SPRINGS UFPSET BY DEFEATING WESTERN Mikes Deadlock Possible by Victory, Due Mainly to Roudabush’s Work—Stenographers Must Beat Central to Reach Their Goal. W HEN Central and Business clash in the Mount Pleasant stadium Friday in the final schedule game of the gnnual high school base ball championship series, Western partisans will be interested onlookers. And they probably will do some little rooting for Central, too. For a Central win will mean a Western championship, while a victory for _Business would give that team a tie with the Red and White for the honor. ‘Western considered itself just about “in” so far as the title was concerned when it took the field against Eastern yesterday, but-the hitherto unde- feated scholastics were given a 6-to- tol Hill boys.

This, it is stated, is one of the un- derlying reasons for the new rule | that champions must defend their titles within six months. Wilson is debarred from fighting and will not be permitted to fight within the six month’s period. So, say Bostonians, New York intends to take his title away without giving him a chance to do Dbattle.

GLASGOW CLUB INDUCES HUTCH T0 DEFEND TITLE CHICAGO, Ma 24.—That Jock Hutchison, Glen View professional, is on his way today to Great Britain to defend his title as British open golf champion, is due to the sportsman- ship of members of the Alexandra Club of Glasgow, who guaranteed ex- penses to the American to have him make the trip and try a second time to_carry the crown back to America.

So clear cut was Greb's lead that many left before the last round ended, cer- tain as to what the verdict would be. Just the same it was a man-to-man combat of epic quality. And now Greb stands ready to meet Georges Carpentler for the world title. It has that Carpentier will come to this country this year to d fend his world light-heavyweight title a any man selected: Tunney Is the Heavier. As the two men doffed their robes last night and stood poised for the benefit of the photographers, the vast discrepancy in size and in appearance was graphically marked. Tunmey was tall, handsome and weighed 174% pounds. His level gray, Irish eyes were friendly. His face was well modeled and his body a study for a scuiptor. Greb, who welghed only 162% pounds, was lithe as a panther. His dark eyes smouldered in a swarthy face that would be as noticeable for good looks as Carpentier’'s were it not for the nose that some fist had broadened and flattened. Clang went the bell and as silence fell upon the throng the two took the ring. In slashed Greb. Tunney met him willingly with some body upper- cuts.

Harry will prove to be a fighting champion, and the signs on the horizon are that his bellicose instincts will be gratified before the leaves begin to turn.
