Itib Milks was fighting mad last night. And it is a good thing: for the Pirates that he was. Otherwise the Cleghorn crew might have had a much harder time trimming the St. Pats. The Pittsburgh icers went into the combat with the full knowledge that they must set back the Toronto lads if they were to stay up within striking distance of the third place Bruins.

Despite this incentive, the Pirates went about their work very listlessly. They know well that Toronto, according to the dope, should be defeated, so they didn't bother putting on full speed. Fortunately, Ilib remembered Odie Cleghorn 's admonition to win.

Commission meets tomorrow afternoon it is probable that an announcement will be made that Ilarry Wills, colored heavyweight and generally considered as the lofrical contender for the heavyweight title, had lost the support of the local boxing; authorities because he went west several months ago and signed articles with some very-vague promoters for a championship contest to be staged next summer at Kenton Harbor or at some other point near Chicago.

the sensational Finnish champion, and Charley Corman, the outdoor crown wearer, bitter rirala. will be side by side for the first tune in history. 'or they will likely lead the procession. And the climax of this rivalry which is just about ready to burst into flame, will be reached an hour or so later when tbey will tw pitted against each other in the skating duel of history- TTiis great ractnjr event was consummated by The Post and The 5katmi? association after aJ-nioft fvery other agency in the land failed to grtt the racing marvels to consent to battle. For years they been bickering; and arguing is the better.

But never could li'-y put eat other in a test. First one wanted concessions and then the wanted advantages out of rea-on. The result was they never were m. itched. This duel, however, will be only one if the many in store for the lookers on at toniKbfs spectacular skating tveats.

Numerous others will be presented. And in nearly every one champions from near and far will take part. The very ftrst event carded is the men's championship. Gor-nian, liolJcr iT the record for the dia- neck ago and negotiations with Jack Dempsey were completed in his room at the Hotel Alamac, Tuesday afternoon. Although he denied that he came here in connection with any future contest or the arranging of any bout for the heavyweight it is known now that Dfinpsiy's nit hTf wa.s for the sole purpose of concluding arrangements for his meet-in- with Gene Tunney.

STONEHAM BIDDING. Charles A. Stoneham. owner of the New York Giants and proprietor of the Polo Grounds is bidding for the match, and is negotiating with Dempsey through Frank Flournoy, former tally, while the Toronto goalie, stood flu'footed looking on. SHOTS KAIN ON KOY.

Rut this goal instead of awakening the Pirates seemed to give them more confidence and oner, more they re-Borted to their watchful waiting game. As luck would have it, nothing: hap-pr-ned, though Roy Worters was around on his norse half a dozen times in stopping the rain of shots from the stick of De, Day and Adams. Odie must have read the riot act to McCaffery straight in on Dye and Day. Cleverly overskating the puck, he made as if to reverse himself, then retrieved the rubber, pulled Roach out of the net and dropped in the first matchmaker for Tex Rickard. Flournoy left for Chicago this afternoon with Ptoneham's final bid.

This proposition, which will be turned down by the champion, calls for a bout at the Polo Grounds some time in August with Tunney and it provides a guarantee of J.iOO.000 for Dempsey. It was as the ageut of Stoneham that Flournoy went to Florida a few weeks ago although it was generally supposed that he went there to act in behalf of Fiournoy talked witJi Tunney and with Billy Gibson. Gene's manager, and is understood to have arrived at some sort of a tentative agreement for a bout with Dempsey. Rickard'a sudden departure for Florida was decided upon when he learned of the purpose of Flournoy's trip. Rickard started out with the purpose of beating his former matchmaker to the goal and he has apparently tanee, S6 1-5 seconds, will attempt to lower his own record.
