July 23—Miller Huggins admits now that he was responsible chiefly for the collapse which caused a former championship team to scend almost to the cellar. The little manager of the New York Yankees says he realises nbw that he should have secured young blood several years ago to be ready to replace his veterans, hut that he made the mistake in figuring that his old players would last longer than tjiey did. "Col. Ruppert (owner of the club) and I thought sure last winter that the Yankees would not only last one more season but that they wouldHre strong enough to win the pennant," Huggins said. He realizes, as all baseball men do the difficulty of rebuilding a team in a short time. John McGraw has been so successful with the ffow York Giants because he is always rebuilding and looking to the future. When a veteran slows up he merely has to ! reach to the corner of the bench and pluck a youngster to send in. You can’t say that it has been the result of pure luck in McGraw’s case. His success has been due to good organization and policy that a good young ball player can always be used even if he is noe needed. The Yankees have plenty of money and a liberal spending owner, but more than cash is needed in these days to get young players who are reaily for big time duty. Dempsey Agrees To Fight Greb In Michigan City Chicago, July 23.—(United Press.) -Jack Dempsey, heavyweight title holder, approved of a Michigan City. Ind. bout with Harry Greb, king of middleweights, Floyd Fitzsimmons, promoter, announced here today. Fitzsimmons said he talked with Dempsey over long distance telephone from Salt Lase City and the heavyweight champion put his stamp of approval on the proposed bout. Following the conversation Fitzimmons wired James Mason, Greb's manager, to meet him in conference sometime next week. Fitzsimmons wants to stage the bout either September 19 or 26 in his Michigan City arena The bout would go ten rounds with the heavyweight title at stake, he said. ;—*—o Collins And Hornsby Make Good As Mnnairers (By Henry L. Farrell. Untied Press Sports Editor) New'York, July 23— Conspicuous among the flashy performances during the first half of the major league pennant races was the fine showing made by Eddie Collins and Rogers Hornsby as playing managers. If there is anything in that legend of baseball that the teams will finish approximately where they stood on July 4. the Chicago White Sox and ’he St. Louis Cardinals will finish in the first division and that will be much of a surprise. The White Sox. with only ordinary material, have played fine’ -baseball since the start of the season and •hey have confoiAided the opinion of many smart critics who thought they were just a flash when they remained up with the leaders during the early weeks ot the pennant race. The performance of the St. Louis

LIFE THREATENED 1 Hr —# hi m iwwd DOROTHY BROWNING Ne w York —Philip Siegel, 21. em : ployed in the pressroom of a Now York newspaper, was arrested Satur day, July 18. on the charge of attempt lug to extort 850.000 frjjm Edward W Browning, real estate broker, who ad vertised recently his desire to adopt : girl child. In three letters to the wegl thy broker Siegel threatened deat) to Mr. Browning and to Dorothy Sun ’ shine Browning, adopted several yean 1 ago. if the demands of “the gang o • fifty” were not met. ' Young Siegel admitted the charge t< ' police. He was trapped by detective! when he met Mr. Browning at an ap ► "bninted rendesvous and took from ► him a hag containing paper instead ot ( the sum demanded. The transfer was arranged through an advertisement placed in a news paper by the real estate man, as dir ected in the first letter received. Th< second letter threatened Browdlng’F life and that of his adopted daughter The third, appointed the place ot meet ing. I Cardinals, under the leadership of Hornsby has been just as surprising ’ because he transformed the team and , made a|«f.nner out of it almost from the moment that he relieved Branch Riclfby. • CoMtns, Because of his long exper ' fence and his reputation for being one ■ of the smartest men in baseball, was • rather expected to be a success as a ' manager, but Hornsby, being rather backward, was thought to be more of an experiment. In addition to assuming the burden ► of management, both Collins and • Hornsby increased their individual : wotk and played the best ball of i their "Career. i Joan Borotra, Wimbledon champion i of 1924. failed to win the British i championship this year, according to London tennis writers, because he . was l!o busy with private business i that he couldn’t find time .to apply , | the proper (time to training and to practice. During the Wimbledon tournament he had to make several airplane trips to Paris and the strain of travel and hard competition in the early rounds of the tournament almost wore him out. , Borotra seems to he one of those unusual amateurs who have to give first attention to his business. He came to the United States last winter and won the American indoor championship. V»ut he had a busy time doing it. Several times matches in which he was scheduled to appear in the elimination rounds had to be delayed* while he dashed to the armory from a business engagement in a taxi Most of the leading mon players in
