Manager Del Howard expects to place five of his young Oaks with the Vancouver club of the Pacific International League. The kids probably will be turned next Monday and each will have a Btring attached to him.

His squad numbers thirty and he will keep but twenty-two for opening day. "It's the livest looking gang I have seen in years and I hate to part with any of the players," said Howard today. "You can tell the world that Oakland will have a real ball team this time." The squad had a double workout in ba'ting and fielding practice today and every one shaped up well. The eather was nice and balmy after the rain, so the pepper supplly could not be checked.

antee. ganization, i According to the thirty-day exten wants. Dempsey started out on a vaudeville tour whicn waa to have carried him to the coast. He changed his mind and chucked the business to go to New York and Btart training. Rickard offered Dempsey $300,000 for his end of the purse and Carpentier $200,000 for his bit.

Tex changed his mind and now Dempsey is to get 34 per cent and Carpentier 24 per cent of the gate. Jack was matched to box Jess "VCil-lard in Madison Square Garden on March 17. He changed his mind. Carpentier and Sailor Petroskey were supposed to box twenty rounds in Monte Carlo March 3. Georges changed his mind.

This is just a few of the times that the combination has changed their minds from the start of the promotion scheme. Be a big joke if the flght public would change their minds and not go to see the battle when it really is staged. Stanford Nine Beats Santa Clara, 5 to 4 STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 23, Stanfora Varsity baseball nine managed to squeeze over a 5 to 4 win over the Santa Clara Varsity here today after the Missionltes had tied the count in the eighth inning.

Then William A. Brady drew a ticket and got in the puzzle somehow. After changing their minds six or sevpn times the fight magnates combined and formed a corporation of sorts. Carpentier came to this country to convince the bally doubters that he was a battler worthy of a crack at the heavy title. The fight public snickered.

After he dropped Levlnsky in four rounds the public changed their minds. James W. Coffroth stepped in with a $500,000 bid to hold the fight in Tia. iuana. That started thn rout nf tham sion gramed KicKara xnarcn tne promoter must name the location of the bout before April 1.

He said he believed the flght would draw a million and a half dollars. The champion said there is no truth in the story that he is gxiing to get married again. "And here is something else I have never told the world said the champion. "I will never accept a challenge from a colored absolutely draw the color lira." There IS no doubt that has his mind made up as to the team he will trot out on opening day.

How Every promoter from Paducah, to Sitka. Alaska, stepped in with a bid ranging from 4 Mexican pesos to 100 Polar bear skins with a flght Igloo thrown in. The promoters changed their minds so often during two weeks that they came near accepting the latter offer. Rickard changed his mind about having Cochrane and Brady assist him in promoting the battle. Forthwith he called in their stacks and paid off.

Speaking of the baseball outlook with regard to the Senators, Putman said: "The Sacramento ball club looks to mo as If it is the best club that has ever represented the city in the Coast League.

We may not see our official lineup in action then, but we will aurely get a fair slant at the makeup of the team.

It will be recalled that San Francisco turned the far-heralded Cubs back last season, taking three of the five games played. Even Grover Cleveland Alexander failed to stop the Graham hustlers. The team that will face the Cubs next Tuesday looks to be far and away a better one than took the 1920 aeries. All the natural advantages are in its favor, so nobody will have a chance to come to the bat with the old alibi of lack of condition, hard luck or other handicaps in the training camp. THE Seals will break camp in Monterey next Sunday evening after Monterey next Sunday evening after their two practice games with the Mission League clubs.

They will invade Recreation Park Monday morning and Monday afternoon to do some light work, and the newcomers will then have the opportunity of sizing up the field on which they never have played. It is Graham's intention to give all Ma men a irack at the Cubs. In this way he will be enabled to get a fair line on their work and thus the task of making his selections for the lineup that is to face the Portland Beavers in tho first league game, April 5, 'will be lightened.

The red and white striped pole rep THE world's chess championship is now being played in Havana. For the benefit of those who know but little about the two great masters here are a few pointers: Dr. Emmanuel Lasker has been the worlds champion chess player for about thirty years. Since he won the title in the early 80s he has been challenged on several occasions by the best players and, has always won in a series of games. He is not considered a brilKant player after the order of Morphy, but has the reputation of being the soundest player that the world has ever known.

In other words, he is satisfied to play an excellent defensive game, ready at all times to take advantage of a sLp move that his adversary may make and pounce upon the latter for a win. He rarely takes a chance and his game is not spectacular. He is a professor of mathematics nd was for many years connected with the Victoria University, Manchester, England. At the outbreak of the war he was listed among those Germans who held more than passive interest in the doings of Germany and his room is preferable to his company in the "allied countries." Jose Capablanca, on the other hand, is one of the most brilliant chess masters the world has ever known. He has met and defeated all the great players of the world with the exception of Lasker.

This is the first meeting of the pair. He is usually striving for victory, only falling back upon "draw tactics" when his offensive campaign is hopelessly blocked. The young Cuban was favored to win from the old veteran before the series was started, but now the general opinion in chess circles seems to be that Lasker will eventually wear him down.
