Decide on Dempsey Battleground Soon BY DAVIS J. WALSH (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, April 30.—Whether Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight Patlil will fight in New York, Jersey City or Shelby, Mont., on July 4, may be determined within the next several days, possibly this afternoon. Jack Kearns, Mr. Dempsey's manager, is scheduled to hold successive conferences with Tex Rickard, and Loy J. Mulumby, who is a promoter, not a laundry check, within the next 48 hours and is expected to reach a decision in the matter pronto. He may decide, however, to hold up any and all announcements to this effect until after the milk fund bouts, May 12, in which Jess Willard and Floyd Johnson are to say it with knuckles. It is neither good form nor good business to bally-hoo it, concert, and Willard and Johnson have the headline to themselves just at the moment. Kearns, however, is as serious as black cholera about the July 4 engagement, and so is Mr. Molumby, the human mouthful from the territory where men are men and cannot be otherwise. Mr. Molumby has pursued our Mr. Kearns all the way from Shelby and won't take "NO" for an answer. From reliable sources we are given to understand he has the inside track on Dempsey's services for the holiday date and that the proposed bout between Dempsey and Tom Gibbons is destined for Shelby, unless Rickaro can muster a meet plausible counter proposition. Tex is ready to offer either the Yankee Stadium, or Boyle's thirty Acres, Jersey City, for the attraction, but is not particular about staging the affair on a holiday; in fact, BIG CROWD SUNDAY A good crowd at lar shoot of the m. at the club Brookhurst.

The home team ontclassed the colored team in every way—so far as to make it uninterpreting. Bush took the heart out of the visitor when he poled one over the wall in the first canto and continued to hit all through the game, getting 3 out of 4. Glenn Callan hit 3 out of 5 and all the boys hit when they were needed. Hughes had the visitors at his mercy allowing seven hits two of which came as the result of a bad hop in the 9th. When the visitors scored, he struck out 11 and walked two. BATTING LEADERS NATIONAL LEAGUE Player Club G. AB. R. H. Petr.

This announcement was made today to International News Service by Mike Collins of Minneapolis, and Loy Molumby of Shelby, promoters of the bout for the American Legion post in Shelby. Awaiting the outcome of the bout tonight at New Orleans between Gibbons and Churek Wiggins, Indianapolis light heavyweight, Collins and Molumby plan to leave here tomorrow aboard the Twentieth Century Limited for New York. There they will be joined by Eddie Kane, manager of Gibbons and Jack Kearns. The selection of a referee is to be thrashed out without difficulty. Only two men have been mentioned by Kearns as suitable to Dempsey and himself. They are Tom Dougherty of Philadelphia and Jim Griffin of San Francisco. Kane has intimated that neither of these will be acceptable and is expected to present other names for consideration. The man most acceptable to the Gibbons camp, it was said, is Harry Ertle of New Jersey. The articles positively will be signed, it was asserted by Collins and Molumby. There is not a thing standing in the way of the match with the single exception of the selection of a referee and the possibility, altho remote, that Gibbons might lose his bout tonight. RECORDS SMASHED IN ALL SOUTH MEET The greatest of all athletic contests, the All-Southern meet, staged at Santa Ana Saturday; resulted: One national interscholastic record fell, one was equalled, one national record was broken, three So. Calif. marks were smashed and two equaled. Hollywood high school sending over a galaxy of stars took the meet with a fraction over 25 points. Coach "Feet" Walker's team followed closely with 22 and a fraction. It was superiority of numbers against a handful of tracksters that won, in the opinion of Coach Bill Page, of the Foothill squad. Harry Smith established a new record in the pole vault when he cleared the bar at 12 ft. 11½ in. Fred Kelley set a national record in the 70 yd. high hurdles in 8-3-5s. Nicholas of Huntington Beach made easy time in the 220 yd. high hurdles clearing the high barriers in 15-1-10s. Lovejoy of Long Beach ran the 880 yd run in 2m., 1-4-5s. Archie Woodward proved himself a second Charley Paddock and clipped the 200 yd. dash in 22-1-5s., a mark set by Paddock himself. Santa Ana took three points, Otto Gardner took second in 440 yd. dash. Milt Nash of the Beach team led all the way. Fullerton, scored fifth in this event, Allee was not in good form. The century event came easy for Carl Plate and Charley Mitchell who tried for first. The relay was a walk-away for Pa.-aena. The summary: 880-yard run—Won by Lovejoey (L.B.), Hansen (M.A.), second, Clum (H.) third, Barr (Comp.) fourth, Unruh (E.M.) fifth. Time: 2m. 1½ a. New record. LOCAL VETS LOSE TO LOS NIELOS 9 TO 3 Anaheim's stellar pitcher, Blin Bryan, was forced to the bench yesterday afternoon in the 3rd inning when the American Legion played at Los Nielos. Bryan had been doing good work but had to go out on account of illness. Beat stepped to the mound with the score 4 to 3. Anaheim lost 9 to 3. Several men failed Captain Altknow and he had to substitute several new players. Todd was the star, bringing in runs with two doubles and homer. Next Sunday Anaheim vets enter a Southern California legion league. The winner of the Southern division plays the Northern Division at the state convention at Eureka in September. The local vets meet Whittier on the home diamond in the initial contest. Other cities in the league are San Bernardino, Pasadena, Los Angeles, Ontario and Riverside.

Geo Uble took a fall out of the saddened White Sox 8 to 3 before a crowd of 35,000 at Comisky Park, and the Gleason entry settled itself more comfortably in the cellar. Haste makes waste, they say, but Mr. Hasty Philadelphia, wasted notnig in holding the Senators to five hits and winning 3 to 2. Evans scored both senatorial runs on sacrifice files. Woodlands single in the ninth, scoring Fothergill, broke up a pitchers' battle between Danforth and Daus, the Tigers winning over the Browns, 1 to 0. A young man named Bishop finally turned back the Giants in the ninth with the tying and winning runs on the bases, and the Phillies got the better of a 9 to 8 go-as-you please. Bishop succeeded where such illustrious performers as Meadows, J. Barnes, Mitchel and $65,000 Jack Bentley failed.
