State clash on Emerson field here tomorrow for the second game of their series and the largest baseball crowd of the year is expected to wit ness tlie contest. The State College hand will be on hand for a concert which starts at 2:30 and will play througout the game, which will prob ably he called at 3:30. Carolina met State in - Raleigh on April 21 and won by a score of 2 to 1. A long run over “Riddick mountain” by Captain Casey Morris was the deciding score In that game and students here believe their team can win again. The contest will probably decide second second honors in the state champion ship race, first place being generally conceded In Trinity. Herman Bryson twirled his team to victory in Raleigh against the Techs and will probably be sent to the mound for the game tomorrow as Ferebes pitched against Wake Forest here on Tuesday. Bryson allowed ten hits in tlie first game hut kept them scatter ed over eight Innings and they amount ed to only one-run.

Room was made for 100,000 persons if that many cared to see Jess Willard, the aged former champion, try to prove his claim of pugilistic fitness against Floyd Johnson, a Des Moines youth of 22 years; see Luis Firpo, the power ful Argentinian against Jack McAullfte, 2nd, a Detroit youth who nas never been floored for the full count, and three other contests. The Wlllard-Johnson and Firpo-Mc Auliffe matches are booked for 15 rounds each. Fred Fulton, the Min nesotan, who once was reckoned a championship contender and Jack Renault, Canadian champion, are to go in a 10-round match. A1 Reich, one of the men who was expected to whip champions—but didn’t, will try his punches on Tiny Herman, a westerner, in six rounds. The opening engage ment, a four-round .match, has Joe Mc Cann, one of Flrpo’s mates, and Harry Drake, a sparring partner of Willard’s, for principals. Great interest is centered in the Wll lard-Johnson engagement, Willard, beyond the 40-mark in years, has had but three fights since he won the title from Jack Johnson in 1915, but for of that appears to be in fine shape. He trained hard; for JnSnths and believes' that he can fight his way to Jack Demp sey and pastime. The mauling Demp sey gave him at Toledo on July 4, 1919, still hurts his pride. He admitted he was foolish and trained improperly for that affair. His opponent of the mor row, while not a thoroughly schooled pugilist, has ambitions and youth. Firpo, the South American, con queror of Bill Brennan, who stood against Dempsey longer than any other man, is a natural fighter of great punching power and some skill. Un der the direction of trainer Deforest, Firpo has developed a fair defense, and has learned; to punch straight. He no longer uses the hammer-like blows that characterized his earlier style. McAuliffe, who has been boxing since he was 18, knocked out a majority of his opponents and holds a six-round decision over Floyd Johnson. Fulton, in his last contest, was shaded bY Floyd Johnson in 12 rounds. He had Johnson near a knockout at the end. Renault is a heavy puncher and one of the best boxerB of the heavyweight division. The first bout probably will be start ed at 3 o’clock fflaylight saving time. The Fulton-RCnault match will be called at 3:45 o’clock, followed! by Flrpo-McAuliffe and Willard-Johnson.
