At least eight California tennis stars will play in eastern tournaments for the nation al championships this summer, accord ing to Dr. Sumner Hardy, San Fran cis:?), president of the California Lawn Tennis Association. Leading the westerners will be Wil liam M. Johnson, San Francisco, Davis Cup holder, former national singles champion and at present joint holder cf the national doubles title. Clarence Griffin, who, with Johnston, holds the doubles title, probably will not go east this year. One California woman entry in east ern tournaments will be Miss Mary Browne. Los Angeles .national women's champion in 1912, 1913 and 1914. To show her versatility, Miss Browne re cently won the Southern California wo men s gold championship. Miss Helen Baker. San Francisco, who in .1920, wen the California and Pacific Coast sir.;'es championships for women, also is planning to go east this year. Willis Davis, San Francisco, 1920 Pacific Coast singles champion, has announced he expects to compete in the east. Davis probably will pair with Johnson in the fight for the na tional doubles, if Griffin does not enter. The Kinsey brothers, Howard and Rob ert, of San Francisco, who rank No. 4 in the national men's doubles list, may make the trip. Four California college players will compete in the east for the titles in their class. Two of them, J. M. Da vies and Phil Neer, representing Stan ford University, already are in the east, winning nearly all their matches. The University of California will be rep resented on the eastern courts by Ed mund Levy and Wallace Bates. ' EVERS PRAISES GROH DECISION OF LANDIS Chicago. June 25. Johnny Evers, ttanager of the Chicago Cuba, thinks the recent decision of" Judge Landis that Heinie Groh must play witn Cincinnati or not at all is one of the greatest ever made in baseball. At the Ktne time, Evers expresses the belief that several ball players in the major leagues are not doing their best, be muse they want to be traded to a team with a chance to win the pen nant and cites this as probably one reason for the heavy hitting. "The ball playera shoujd do their bt at all times and not think only 01 getting with a pennant winning b," said Evers. "Judge Landis in jne Groh decision has shown them that fte will not stand for any foolishness ani I think you will find a big im P'ovemen; in the work of several wen as a result of that decision. 1 think one of the reasons so tth hitting is being done against Pitchers who are supposed to be good s because several of them are laying 'n in the hope of being traded aow that's not a criticism of pitchers Payers as a whole. It just re- -s to a few of the undesirable '-ment, but I think they'll perk up d o:t now." METROPOLIS VERSUS STEFANSKI TONIGHT -Charlie Metropolis and Ben Stefanski .

The Tygers mads 11 runs and the Bees 4, but after the fourth inning, when the Tygers sent six men in, there was no use in play ing any longer. . The Bees themselves seemed to know it. True, they made four runs in the fourth, but that pro cess consumed the last ounce of peo they had. Four pitchers were used in the game. Knowlson was yanked from the- scene of carnage in the fourth inning and Higgins, just in from Raleigh, substi tuted for him. Davis received Emil Huhn's frowns of excessive displeas ure when the Bees made their runs and Songer. went in for him. Of course Huhn didn't really ythink that the Bees would win the game, but Davis, like Knowlson, just wasn't pitching Sally League ball. Higgins and Songer did better. The latest addition to the Hor nets' pitching staff looked pretty good. The Tygers scored in the third inning on a one-base hit and two errors. In the fourth the Tvsers led off with five hits, Bass going for two bases, follow ed by Huhn for a single. Strand hit safely and Bass scored, also Huhn, the latter on Knowlson's bad throw. Walsh was safe on a bunt he beat out. Ful ghum singled, Milner erroring. Strand scoring on the hit, Walsh on the error. Agnew fanned. Davis singled, Ful ghum scoring. Trefey and Ramrey waiKea. niggins went m for the Hoc nets, Bass flied to center, Davis scor ing. , Huhn struck out. The Tygers made two more runs in the eighth and two more in the ninth, wholly surplus a single, a double, a sacrifice and an error in the eighth being responsible and in the ninth a walk, a triple and a single put the . marker across. The Bees went strong in the fourth. Ralph O'Connell tripled. Paschal beat out a scratch. Kirke and Milner drew passes, O'Connell being forced in. Song er went in for Davis and fanned Mar tin. Ray Kennedy doubled, scoring Paschal, Kirke and Milner. That was all for the rest of the game, so i: as the Hornets were concerned. Paschal and Ralph O'Connell were Betting On Dempsey-Carp Fight Is Still Extremely Light Dempsey is 3 to 1 Favorite in Bets Laid in Wall Street. New York, June 25. Wagering on the Dempsey-Carpentier bout for the world's heavyweight championship at Jersey City, July 2, is extremely light light despite interest on two continents that promises to eclipse that evidenced in any previous title battle. Both men have numerous admirers who, as yet, have failed to back their opinions with much money. Stimulated wagering is expected on the eve of the bout with a probable inflow of currency from France. According to figures at which some money has been wagered in Wall Street Jack Dempsey seems likely to go into the ring on odds on favorite at 3 to 1. Although in . past bouts for the title the champion, almost invariably has been the favorite, riot since the Sulli-van-Corbett battle has the title holder been so strongly favored in a bout of major worth. Sullivan was a 4 to 1 choice over "Gentleman Jim." Willard was a 2 to 1 favorite over Jack Demp say when the challenger won at Tole do. Jim Jeffries entered the ring favored at 2 1-2 to 1 to beat Jack Johnson, three weeks before he met Jess Willard at Havana, was a 3 to 1 favorite but these- figures shifted as the day of the bout approached and the negro climbed into the ring with the odds of only 6 to 5 in his favor. Jim Corbett was ap Dempsey Tips LATE FIGHT DOPE Carp's Men Have Sweet Dream DEMPSEY Atlantic City, N. J.. June 25.W.ith his heavyweight championship bout one week off ,. Jack Dempsey today re sumed training after a 24-hour layoff to celebrate' his 26th birthday. The champion will box this afternoon and Monday will spend another day of idleness.

Umpires. Morgan and Kelly. proximately a 2 to 1 shot over Bob Fitzsimmons when they met at Carson City. The total amount of money wagered on the coming battle to date, is esti mated by a New York sporting man not to exceed $75,000. A large part of this amount has been placed in so-called "freak" bets. Odds of 9 to 5 have been quoted that Dempsey will win by a knockout. Persons1 who back Carpentier to drop Dempsey for the count demand odds of 20 to 1. Odds of 10 to 1 have been asked by persons who would wager that Carpentier will not answer the bell for the third round. Paris, almost hysterical in its enthu siasm for the French war hero, never theless is dubious when money is men tioned. Word received here states that Dempsey rules as 8 to 5 favorite on the boulevards, with little money placed. Betting men believe that the lack of wagering is due largely to the fact that Carpentier's supporters desire un reasonable odds. Also, they declare that the international aspect of the con test, while making for the unusual interest which will draw the greatest "gate" in the rins history, is largely sentimental and hot conducive to heavy wagering for that reason. "The bout does not compare with the Jeffries-Johnson and the Willard-Demp-sey battles at a corresponding period," one Broadway man declared. "There was at least $2,000,000 wagered on1 the result of the Toledo battel and it is safe to say that as much or more changed hands at Reno when Jeffries lost to Johnson." Scales At 192 i CARPENTIER Manhassett, ,N. Y. June.; 25. There is a deeprooted belief in the camp of Georges Carpentier that the blaade Frenchman will attain his. lifelong ambition the world's heavyweight title when he meets Jack Dempsey in -Jersey City, a week from today. Francois Descaps, the manager, arid J. Wilson, the trainer, appear to be satisfied that the pugilistic idol of France' is greater ; than ever and will repay their, highest hopes in' the forth coming battle." - They think he will make Jiempsey dizzy with his speed and will bowl him ever for the count along about the fifth or sixth round. Carpentier, in their opinion, will, be so fast and clever that Dempsey will not be" able .to strike him one telling blpw:. E-. en granting that the champion may land on the Frenchman they gay that he is In such condition that. it will take, twenty of Jack's hardest wallops to stop him. "Nobody," they say, "ever has been able to take the fight out of him and today he is not merely a good fighter, but a. great one. ' He is ay marvel, a genius. "If everything goes right there will be' a new world's -heavyweight cham pion a week from today." Heavy wcrkout - was planned - for the challenger today."

Paris, June 25. The creation of a world sport capital, where all futur? Olympic games should take place, is urged by Franz Reichel, a well-known French writer, who is trying to enlist the support of French athletic organ izations and members of parliament. " Reichel would have France contri bute this great center of athletics to the sporting world. He would have this modern Olympus built just outside the gates of Paris and, if possible!, along the river Seine, so that aquatic events could be seen from ', the .' Olynv pic stadiums. He is urging the gcvr ernment to act in time to have par t of the new sport city built for the Olympic games in Paris in 1924. ; - - The plans of the French writer .are summed up as follows: "The idea of recreating the Olympi:. sames came from a Frenchrnan, and it was in Paris that the project for trie first Olympic meet of modern times, the one held in Athens in 1896, was conceived. Now is the time, for Paris to construct an Olympic city, on an cient iines, in such grandiose style tnat all nations will agree to have all futur Olympic competitions here. Let us create at the same time and within tha walls of this sport city a splendid in-' ternational athletic institute, with; the best instructors in the wOrld, a reul temple of sport to which athletic youths of the world will flock as they flocked : to Athens in . ancient times. "We should have the most modern installations, with' all facilities for training and for caring for great crowds at athletic events. - There should .be-1 gigantic stadium capable - of . seating 100,000 persons, with stands , 100 feet high encircling the fields for football and- other' athletic games. -Under this stadium should be great' massage rooms, baths and well-furnished quarters, where ' the athletes might live : during competitions, away from noisy hote'sj and city life. "At one side .ofthe-stadium : shouM be another vast terrain, where young athletes could carry on their exerciass under the eyes of skillful trainers. There should be another, stadium.- f o swimming events, one for lawn tejinis, a stadium for boxing and an open-air, as well as' a covered, gymnasium. - "Attached to this Olympic ' city should be doctors who know athletics and how to , give advice to athletes' ; WINNER CLEVELAND AND THE YANKS WIN Beat Chicago and Washing ton ; Detroit Beats St. Louis, 12 to 0.

Jack Dempsey defended his title for first time last Labor Day against Billy Miske. He was the same terrible mauler that put Willard aside. His punches seemed to have almost super human force behind them and Miske lasted less than three rounds. The challenger had grit aplenty, he knew how to box. He landed direct wallops against the champion frequent ly and his quick footwork eluded sever al punches. Although forced to be in active for a year under the care of sur geon.s Miske showed himself a much better scrapper than when he appeared on the eve of.' the Dempsey-Willard match and fought Battling Levinsky. But he was no match , for the Giant Killer. Dempsey disabled him in the second round with a vicious blow over the stomach and just below the heart. In the thL-d round he knocked him down three times .before Miske was forced to quit. , The first time he was felled he stayed down for the count of nine and he was smiling when he regained his feet. The attack that finished ,the fight consisted of a hammer blow to the stomach fol lowed by a right to the chin. - FLORIDA STATE LEAGUE, i , -At Lakeland 8;. Jacksonville 4. .
