FOSTER. EW YORK, April 26—The Chicago Cubs are a greater sensa ! the National League than are the Giants, A league, but everybody thought that would follow, with | play against in the east excepting Boston and Brooklyn, t bitious but not ready. perhaps, for a year or two, g | ship lying idle at dock and dropping to pieces, The Cubs are almost duplicatin; New York lcads ¢ nothing he former 4 | and the latter Jikd i € their spring of 1922 Indeed, ¢ where the first swing through the west will get under way the follow- ing Tuesd Despite the i first three games ended disastrously, gether and took the final of the seri by annexing the first two games in t “Tis true they faltered then, ree tng a_generous coat of whitevash with President Harding as a specta- tor Tuesday and finishing on the short end of i T-to-1 count yester- ay when Hollingswortl proved wild as well as ineffective in striking con- trast to the performance turned in by Herb Pennock, but at that an even break with last vear's title winners is 1o mean achievement and for all the fact that the second division claims them, the Bushmen possess an edge on three other clubs, one of which, the White Sox. generally is rated as a sure first division entrant 1 another. the Browns, is regarde as formidable even without the serv- ices of Sisler. The local fans will see in the play- ers Bush is directing a bunch who have not vet struck their stride with the bat, for although none of his a v is going hitless and they have aversged nearly eight hits to the game the t of timeliness has| been largely lacking. as was demon- strated ve: rday hen nine bingles off Pennock produced but one rum, and that a homer, while as many safeties by the Yanks netted them seven counters, four of the half dozen | passes Holllngsworth issued in his six | nnings being factors, of course, as was also a fumble by Gosi Conroy Good Fleld Although he has yet to demon-} strate any penchant for quick think- | Conroy at third has proved he fine mechanical fielder, and_if | contrives to bat around the .270, mark should do.

Wildness is handicapping _ Holliggsworth ~_ and Brillheart, but Johneon iy about ready o give his best, and a better line will be obtainable on Zachary after he festivities this afternoon. Me- ew has looked fairly good in his two appearances as relief hurler, and the same applies to Russell. Mackmen Have New Spirit. In the Athletics Washington fans will see a far different aggregation than any that has represented Phila- delphia for eight vears. They have a marvel of energy and ambition in Wid Matthews, the diminutive out- felder obtained from Milwaukee for 20,000 and two players, and who ap- ears to be worth every cent of it. They have a still more expensiv rticle in Sammy Halc, whose illness | as given Harry Riconda a chance to his_ability at third, and hu who apparently themselves this season, the list including Hasty, Harris, Heimach and Naylor in addition to itommel, the star of last yvear's staff. who is having trouble getting started | this spring. It's the new spirit of the Mackmen that has enabled them to make such creditable showing in the opening ames. Young Matthews appears to be largely responsible for it. He is bound to take the eye of the local bugs. Holly's Wildness Costly. Hollingsworth's unsteadiness _got him into a jam in the second inning, ind before he could retire the Yanks four of them had dented the dish.

The pitch appeared to be high, at that. Lapan’s 1923 introduction was far from Impressive. Called Hollingsworth with Ruel on ahead of him, Pete tapped to the box and a double play ensued. Again yesterday Ruel hustled out to e box and greeted McGrew when the latter came in from the bullpen to succeed Hollingsworth in the seventh, This serves to give the fans a good line on Siim's height. They took vociferous notice. Pennock did_some fast and acting—in the Harris' under him.

Rice Averts a Shutout. 1t remained for Rice to put a mark in the run column for the Bushmen, which he did with no assistance in round 5 by polng a liner -to the fence in right and completing the cir- | cuit before Ruth and Ward could re- ! lay the ball In.

EW YORK, April 26—Harry Wills has spoken. The tan<colored sphinx of the desert of Fistiana has said real words. The writer ran across him up town and held him up with a forty-four caliber question. “How about that meeting with Dempsey? The general idea is that you and Kearns have a secret understanding and that in good time the match will be sprung upon the public. Now then, Harry, the up-and-up is wanted.” Wills said that so far as he and Dempsey are concerned they would meet tomorrow, but that Chairman Muldoon in New York is against the match and that authorities in other states seem to have taken that same pattern. He says that he has no intention of annoying Dempsey by laying claim to the heavy title and that he has confidence in Kearn's good faith. 80 in the meantime—that is to eay. while waliting for the Dempsey ch—Wills will have to stick to his own race. If Jack Johnson were not under the ban as a scrapper he and Wills would make an interesting fight, for in watching the_former champion workout against Firpo it was clear that Lil' Artha has retained all his wonderful defensive ability. After each of those practice workouts Johnson would go to the showers his gold-toothed gri essuh.”” he would say, ‘‘that Mistuh Firpo shore kin wallop hahd. But he ain’t wallopin’ me, nossuh. I ain't lettin’ him.” FIRPO SUED FOR $50,000 BY RIVAL FOR FILM COIN NEW YORK.

But with Johnson not permitted to fight, Kid Norfolk too small and all the Tut Jacksons, Clem Johnsons and the like out of the running, no one is left for Wills but big Bill Tate, and no one would take another bout be- tween the two seriously. In short, Harry Wills is a fighter without an opponent. There are, however. rumors that Rickard has it in mind | to pull a Havana stunt with Demp- sey and Wills as the attractions. It would unquestionably be a paying venture. All Harry wants is one big fightg Since he attained prominence the panther has been able to buy a plenti- ful supply of pork chops and becon right along.
