Neither Wheat nor ‘Ebbets would say what the terms were, but Ebbets made a statement in which he said that ‘Wheat’s contract calls for a certain salary and a bonus, the bonus to be given Wheat provided he hits .300 or better. The bonus also s con- tingent upon the .financial condition of the club at the end of the season. Roth, hnwever, appeared greatly sat- isfled now that it is all over. The signing of Wheat leaves Casey Stengel in the role of “a man without a country.” ' The Dodgers’ great sun ficlder is still at Hot Springs and will undéubtedly follow in the footsteps of his fellow Missourian, According to present plans there will be a’ post-season swimming meet to decide the intercollegiate cham- pionship between Columbia and Yale is the Princeton tank. .Yale tied Co- lumbia when. the Elis trounced the Morningside Heights swimmers at New Haven Wednesday.

A combination of boxing askill that hasn’t been seen since the. palmy days of Young Griffo and a terrific right hand punch enabled Benny Leonard of Harlem'\to give Packy Hommey such a lacing that the little Italan's manager wisely refused to allew Hom- mey to come to scratch for the ninth round in their bout at the Fairmont A. C. A wiset any more humane action would have been for Referee Billy Joh to have stopped the bout as early as the seventh round. At that stage Leonard had Hommey. hopelessiy beaten and there was no reason for his being subjected to another round: At no stage of his carcer has Leonard shown such a marvellous mastery of boxing lore as he did last evening, and no one recognized it any ‘clearer than Champion Freddy Welsh, who meets Leonard at the Manhat- tan A, C. next Wednesday night and who sat in a ringside box and viewed Benny’s massacre of Hommey.

This team is reported to be what their monicker implies, and with any kind of luck in retaining their bats and gloves for the remainder of the year, should have a very success- ful season.

'be. ' expected when the National ' and . American | leagues plunge into' their annual flag chases. There is little change' ‘ronr the pre-season dope that emanated’ from the state league. In the American league, Boston, Chicago, Detroit and New York stand out as the best balinced teams. Many experts are favoring Chicago to |/ win a pennant this year. They bank on the ‘come-backs of the Comiskey| hurling corps. Jim Scott is said to be’ showing better than he has for several years and Reb Russell, it is persist- ently declared, is having success in his efforts to iron the kinks out of his.left. flipper. ¥ It hes been positively stated there will be no experimenting with Chi- cago's south side team . this year. Veterans, tried and true, will be found | filling all the holes. There apparent- ly are two holes—good sised onés— on that club—ane at first base and one at shortstop.

Boston's chances lles in Jack Barry and his; ability to keep the old machine from rusting. ' He will get the same start 3s was given Bill Carrigan & year ago. New York, & YOung. team, may prove the dark horss of the race. Bill Donovan has assembled a fine outlay of men for the Yankees and is bound to cut a big figure in the American league. ‘Connie Mack is sending out optimis- tic signals from his Florida training camp. . He has some excellent mater- 1al from which to build. The National league seems to be all New York, with a remarkable infleld defense and a‘slugging outfleld. Mc- Graw's hurlers are not the best in the league, but his hitters will spoil many a dinner for the other pitchers.
