NEW YORK CLUBS AGAIN IN LEAD But Not l>y So Great a Margin As They Were Last Year When Fans Grumbled about "Same Old Story" By JOHN B. FOSTER. C*nft|kt. I?M. fcy Til* AtfMM* New York, May 30.?Just a year ago. the New York Yankees and the New York Giants were riding the crest of the baseball ware and the< fans of other cities were grouching about the "same old story" la tlie' big leagues. The New York cluon are up at the top today, but they aren't out In front as they were last year. As a matter of fact, both dabs are about a week behind their 1923 records. Last season, at this particular date the Yankees had won 25 games and lost 10. Today, the figures nre 20 and 12. On the same date Inst year, the Giants had won 28 an1 lost 9. Today they have won 22 and lost 14. Last year by this time, both clubs had made a first triumphal tour of the West. This year both have come home from the great open spaces nil patched up with court plaster. If the other clubs of both circuits have the flght in them that they pre tend to have, the choice is open to overtake New York. It Is true that both New York teams hnv* a lot of ' doubleheaders on their cards. If they ^ can't win those doubleheaders. they can't obtain any such abnormal load as they had last year. What happens between now and the next inter-sectional games may give a line on what to expect. If both NeW York clubs can prey on thejr Eastern rivals and chew them up fine, they will be in gooi trim lo wallop the West. If the Eastern clubs play any kind of bascbali against them, the Gothamltes will havp to pitch in as If Old Nick were after them. The Brooklyn club over which there is so much elation, oddlv enough stood exactly as w?ll u y?ar ago as It does now. The actual gains of this season'in the National have beon rui.de bv Chi cago and Cincinnati. Tho great loss is that of Pittsburgh. There Is not so much difference on tho part of the other teams. In the American League, the great ground gainer has been Boston. Si. Louis is next and Detroit a close third. Philadelphia ha3 provided the big plunge. A year ago this lime they were in second placc. Now they are last. The upside down team is Cleveland. For straight-out adherence to form, Washington ha?s them nil licked. The Washington club is al most to a game where It was in 1923. It Is as good a promise as it was this time last year, perhaps better. If the Senators could hit the ball ten points harder, they would ? surely be in the first division. L 'firpo- wills fight ABOUT AUGUST 1ST "Wild Bull" Agrees to Meet "Black Panther" on Rick aril's Offer and Winner Will Probably Meet Champion. By FAIR PLAY (Copyright. 1^4. By Th? A#r?nc?) New York, May 30.?FIrpo Is com ing to the United States to fight Wills, the winner to meet Dempsey. Texas Rickard has a cable from the "Wild Bull" announcing his accept ance of a $240,000 offer to sten into the ring and oppose the "Black Pan ther" on or before August. 1. Tex has been very persistent in this mat ter and has raised the ante thousand by thousand until the Argentinian has found it economically Impossible to refuse the bait. FIrpo was inclined to consort with ' strange gods in the U. S. A., but af ter a period of deliberation he decid ed, wisely, in favor of Tex. Luis does not can? at all for Rickard, but he knows that the golden rain falls in obedience to Rlckard's wand, where as other promoters talk with empty eloquence. Thus the Metropolitan outdoor season takes an enhanced aspect. It la on the cards that the much delayed Wills-Madden bout will be fought In this city after all.

If it Is not held in Long Island City it will be put on somewhere in greater New York, possibly right on Manhattan Island.
