This time, the league leaders scored their win at the expenso of firmly in the cellar. The Chrysler quintet put up a marvelous battle for the first two periods and had a lead into the third frame of 5 to 3. Judging from the specd at which the team travel- led, it appeared a certain winner, However, this idea was entirely dis- pelled in the last session when the Dillmen started a whiriwind attack and deapite the fact that 8itz, Chrys- ler goal tender, emulated the antics of Bill Blount in the goal with 50 stops, the winners breezed through in high gear to take the verdict § to 6. The Oaklands scored a total of five goals in the last period. Dill led the attack with a trio of screaming shots that plastered through Sitz's shin pads and nestled in the nets. At one time, he took the ball clear through the' entire opposing team and, playing like a luminary of the game, carried the pill straight down the floor and scored. Harry Kieffer did noble work for the losing combination. He broke up plenty of passwork nicely with his mates on the floor. Newell was A | tower of strength for the winners on the offensive while Veley shone on defense. The work of Sitz in the goal was the best scen in the ama- teur games so far this season.

From far Los Angeles, yesterday, lsmk Dempsey served notice he would not be in shape for a titular Uff until September owing partially {to an injury to an eye. Dempsey |emphatically declared he would be | |in condition by fall and that he an- | {ticipated no difficulty in coming to | [terms with Tex Rickard for a bout | | with the ruling king of the heavies, | {Gene Tunney. Despite the temporary absence of {the Manassa Mauler from the ring, Rickard's revised elimination series will go on as scheduled, John M. |Chapman, Rickard's assistant at Madison Syuare Garden, announced. Chapman said he talked with Rick- ard by telephone, recciving word from the promoter at Miami Beach Ithat the surviver of the approaching | eliminations would be pitted against Champion Tunney in Jun; The principals of this elimination | series are Jack Delaney and Tom | Heeney who tussle on March 1 and |Jack Sharkey and Johmny Risko who will battle March 12. Now that | Dempsey has declared he will not {box until next September, the win- {ner of the eastern tournament will sure to fight Tunney, Chapman |said. Previously Rickard had mention- |ed that he might match the elimina- tion winner against Dempsey in the levent there were indications further climinating would be dcsirable be- |tore arriving at the champlonship |aftair. The victors of the two March bouts will be matched into the final | of the elimination events to take | | place some time in April. All of the bouts will be over the 15 round dis- tance. When Rickard started his first | elimination bringing togcther Shar- key and Heeney, thé: bout was 12| rounds, a route Rickard later re- | gretted. The bout ended in a draw, | Rickard then compelled the boxerd of the coming contests to sign for {fitteen rounds which is the cham- | | plonship distance. | Although Sharkey has a challenge | against Tunney filed with the New | York state athlctic commission and Delaney a ke defi with the national boxing association, neither is r(--l garded to have serious bearing on | the ultimate championship as the | elimination will be the determining tactor. | Chapman added that Dempsey | was being retained by Rickard for a Scptember hout agninst Tunney | { the million-dollar days of the (BY HENRY L.
