He can’t very well avold Carl Tremaine, the mule- punching Clevelander, much longer. The ring experts in the East seem to think, that Tremaine will knock Lynch from under his fistic crown If they ever meet. VILLA AND GENARO IN RETURN TUSSLE Going down the weight ladder, we find a lot of gossip going the rounds in Eastern boxing circles that Pancho Villa and Frankie Genaro will do their stuff again versus each other, as the eminent Mr. Lardner says. Genaro dished up a surprise last winter when he trimmed the Manila Tiger in Gotham.. A return go be- tween these little fellows would bring a big house. HOW ABOUT GREB AND TUNNEY AGAIN Speaking of return engagements, Harry Greb, the Pittsburg windmill, » has one coming with Gene Tunney, Present lightweight champ. There ‘was a lot of argument when Tunney ‘was given the palm over Harry when they tangled recently, most of the bugs thinking that the decision was “one of thone things” and that Greb is the better man. Most of the ring champions will see action this summer except Johnny Wilson, the very cheesy middie- weight king (7). Wilson has nearly dropped out of the pugilistic picture, as he ia barred nearly everywhere ex- cept at the North Pole. test Friday. All games get under way at 3:30 o'clock.

FARRELL NEW YORK, May 3.—Three of the best pitchers in baseball are wasting their arms on a last place club in the National league and unless some- thing is done they will finish with an average of about .250. Like Nap Rucker, baseball's most tragic example of wasted talent; Dutch Reuther, “Burly” Grimes and “Dazazy” Vance are going down with the rope and wright of the Brookiyn ball club around their necks. Dutch Reuther is about the best pitcher in the National league. His presence on any one of three other clubs would mean almost a pennant for that outfit. Last Monday at the Polo grounds Reuther pitched a won- derful game against the Giants. Late in the game his catcher missed a signal, the ball went right thru him and the winning run scored from THREE OF BEST PITCHERS oe IN MAJORS ARE WASTED third for the Giants. And Reuther was charged with a wild pitch and — the loss of his own game, To make it more disheartening, Reuther has one of those trick Eb- betts contracts from which he gets — his money on a “won game” basis. — If he wins 20 games he gets his top price and if he wins more he gets bonus for a certain number. games. Asking to win 20 game with what the Robins have set up- behind him is like < paint the Woolworth an eyelash gauber, Grimes ran into the same thing against the Giants on Tuesday.
