RecordCr Crowd to See Yanks and Dodgers To-Day Bipeciel to The Reening World ) NBW ORLMANS, La, Mareb A record crowd jx expected to wit- ness this afternoon's contest between the Yanks and the Dodgers, which will be playea at Heinemann Park. Robbie, despite the defeat at the hands of the Yanks. is optimistic and predicts a victory, More than three- fourtha of the seats huve already been sold and all over the town one only hears the words; “Are you go- ing to seo ‘Babe’ Ruth to-morrow.” It seems that all the fans are not in terested in. the outcome of the game, | but only wish to see the prodigious son of swat in action $20,000 of it here as payment on a house for his mother and father in Bast 108th Street, which shows that Johnny isn't a bad sort. A New Yorker by birth, Wilson sees Little in the attractions of the “Big City.” In- stead he says he prefers the compara- tive quiet of Charlestown. Wilson's defeat of O'Dowd ia still being discussed in sporting circles. It is generally congeded that Wilson is below the 6tandard of middleweight champions of the past, but he showed that he is far removed from the “Al” MoCoy variety of a “cheese” title- holder. e lacks just now what seems Lo be confidence in himself, He hasn't acquired that chestiness which goos with a fighter who feels su tior to his rivals. Maybe this is due (o inborn modesty, or maybe that down deep in bis heart, Johnny doesn't think he amounts to much outside of being able to whip all the O'Dowds that can be thrown into the ring with him, He has said as much, but that bellef should be removed from his mind as soon as possible. He really hasn't so much to fear in the middleweight division at the pre ent time Jeff Smith might be considered his most dangerous rival, ut Jeff couldn't beat O'Dowd unless it is that he was handcuffed the last time they met, With all the natural ability to knook out Mike he allowed QDowd to outgame him in @ manner which suggested that he lacked courage at the crucial moments of their bout. If ODowd’s mauling style was enough to make him back up that driving right body punch of Wilson, if land- ‘The Dodgers have shown a de- cided improvement in their work.

The best news is in the form of a telegram which was received _by| Robbie from Capt. Zack Wheat. The latter had suggested the terms on which he would sign and Robbie ac- cepted them and wired for Wheat to join the Dodgers at once In his de- @patch to the rotund leader, said he is preparing to Join the Rob- ing as soon as he attends to some im. portant business. The signing of the outfielder will be glad news to the |Brooklyn fans, who have always looked upon him as a Brooklyn mmatitation. ‘There are still two players of last year's team unsigned.

Time, ander the Walker law, very properly decided that Wilson had won, but the crowd had no means of knowing that it wasn't he who had written O'Dowd's ner, Shortell keeps a very close watch on the principals whenever he is at the ringside and never allows sentiment to interfere with his count of points scored. How Jack Roulette of Maspeth arrived at the conclusion that O'Dowd had won is as mysterious ag the method employed by Judge Monday, who named Johnny Dundee as the winner over Willie Jackson when the pair met at the Manhattan Casino recently before their clash at the Garden. ROM what is being heard in box- ing centres these days “Rocky” Kansas has already beaten Willie Jackson to a frazle, atill they don't meet until next Monday night at the Garden. Kansas is spoken of as the next man to get a “crack” Benny Leonard and his_title this summer in a big open air arena. Can you imagine Jackson's feelings? Kansas will have to beat Willie and beat him very artistically to win the chance at Benny. By the way, while the Kansas-Jackson bout ie regarded as the star event at the Monday fare- well show at the Garden, many fight regulars are of the opinion that it won't hold a candle to the ten-round affair between “Midget” Smith and Jack Sharkey, who until this winter was considered to have as much claim on the bantamweight cham- pionship as Joe Lynch, Smith is the particular favorite of ex Rickard, | who thinks him a little Jack Demp- sey. eaten Cambridge Bea ts Oxford: in Sprints LONDON, March 19.--The results of the various events of the Cam-| bridge-Oxford meet to-day, in which first places only counted, follows 100-Yard Dash—-Won by H.
