It now goes to the governor, Larry Doyle continues to slam them out for the New York Giants. He is regarded as one of the most dangerous sluggers in the majors, It is estimated that the Willard- Dempsey bout at Toledo will draw $200,000, of which the city's share on a seven per cent. tax would be $21,000. Montreal would appear to possess almost as. many fight clubs as New York has ball teams, George Ken- nedy is back in the scrapping game, livelier than ever. When the Cincinnati and Phila- delphia clubs come together, Quaker Town people won't, know who to cheer for. Pat Moran still has an army of friends in Philly. Tecumsehs May Get Franchise. The Tecumseh Lacrosse Club of Toronic may be given a franchise in the Nailonal Lacrosse Uniun. Chas Quer:it pointed out to President Dumouchel and Sacrewary 8rown of the union ay Monireal tuat his club was willing to maxe concessions to becor.e¢ members of their associa- tion. He stated that the Tecum- sels vould have|a trong team this sumoer, including several returned medi, nd would be willing to make (rips to Montreal to play all three clubs, Nationals, Shamrocks and Caughnawagas, if taken iuto tle Union. The Tecumsehs also promised to compensate the Cornwdli club for the defaulted game two years 1go by paying their expenses tc Toronto when that club was scheduled to play Tecumsehs. President Dumou- chel and Secretary Brown favor tak- ing Tecumsehs into the Union and will call a meeting at an early date to deal with the question. Querrie is confident that Ottawa will give Tecumsehs their support in the matter and Cornwall may be the only club to hold out against it. Make Bout Two-Ring Circus. Tex Rickard is now convinced that minds other thin his are working on schemes to make it plain sailing for Willard and Dempsey in July. Yes- terday Tex received a letter from a fellow who proposed that Rickard build a double ring, one-half just inside the Jersey State line, and the Other just over the line in Pennsyl- vania. Then this "second thinker" goes on to say that if necessary, Jess and Jack could fight eight rounds accord- ing to law in the Jersey ring, and, if individual supremacy was still in question, then step into the Pennsyl- vania ring and fight six more rounds according to Pennsylvania Hoyle. "Funny thing about this two-ring circli®=L-it could be done," said Rick~ ard, as he fired up a new dollar stogie, w.=.p@\/,o. hb,ponnpbpic)]f:==a;rspo Ottawa Ball for Toronto. George H. Lawson, recently dis- oharged from the Canadian army, in which he was Sergt.-Major in the Royal Engineers, announced at Bos- ton plans for the formation of an outlaw baseball league, to be known as the Allied League. He said that only men who had seen service in the American Expeditionary or allied armies would be eligible to play. Mr. Lawson, who promoted the outlaw United States League, a few years ago, said he- had assurances of ching which would enable the lea- ue to start its season on June 1st He announced as the probable cir cuit: Boston, Providence, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Montreal, Ottawa or Toronto and Newark. He said grounds were available in all of these cities. Would Mix With Pros. The Northern Division of the Can* adian Canoe Association decided at Ott@wa to support the idea of per- wicting professionals in other lines of sports to participate in the events of the Canadian Canoe Association. 3 The proposal will be brough: be- fore the parent body at Its annual meeting on Saturday next.

Jimi McCuaig, Capt, Eddie Phillips, Capt. Felix Sowden and Lieut. Jack Tupley. who were selecled last month to train for the events, word has been received that Rainsford Harvey, who is a Sergeant in the 38Uh Battalion in Belgium, has also jeen recalled to England to prepare for the regatta. | Harvey rowed with the Britannia | and Ottawa crews and was a prom- | ising oarsman. There will be an i elght-oared race, open to crews from each of the allied countries, for a trophy donuted by his Majesty King George, and it is expected that Can- ada will be able to launch one of the strongest in the race. A number of the Torcnto Argonaut soldier carsmen are also at Healey training for the military regatta. There will be a meeting of the Canadian Racing Association in the near future, following which some announcement may be made with regard to the plans of the various clubs for. the coming season.

With the exception of the round, no-decision bout between Wil- "lard and Frank Moran in New York three years ago, which few ring ex- perts took seriously, from a title- passing angle, there is no record of such a short scheduled battle in the modern history of heavyweight fight- ing. -- Dubuc Giants' Pitciving Hope. New York papers ate hailing Johnny Dubue, of Montreal, as a pitching hope for the Giants. Dubuc went in as a relief pitcher at Phila- delphia the other day. He took up the burden after George Smith had given the Phillies a winning lead by miserable mound work. And he held the Quakers to two hits and no runs in four innings. Dubue pitched high. class ball, so it is declared by the critics. In only one inning, the sixth, did the Phillies threaten him. And in this round he showed the stuff that is in him when facing a dangerous situation. The Sun says: '"This" performance bids fair to have been typical of what Jean will do for the club this year, for he is just the kind of a pitcher who probably will save many a ball game by holding the opposing club at bay in the last few innings of a close contest. He has a fair assort- ment of stuff, a good head on his broad shoulders and plenty of nerve. Also he is a good hitter. Dubuc, in fact, is a pitcher on the order of Doc Crandall, who was a mighty handy man."
