Dempsey Is Sincere In Wanting Fights By Henry U Farrell, (U. P. Sports Editor) New York, Aug. 8— (United Preen) ■ — Some suspicion has arisen as a re-< suit of the sudden desire of Jack Dempsey for action. Some of the boys who have chronic suspicions about every one, question the purpose of the heavyweight champion in demanding some fights. They think the belligerent mood which he has assumed Is for the purpose of boosting his latest picture which hasn’t been released yet because of a decline of Dempsey popularity on the public market. The real purpose of the sudden notion Dempsey has taken to defend his title is just as uncertain as it was the day he stepped to the altar with Estelle Taylor, the day that was generally thought to have been the turning point in his career. Dempsey gave plenty of reasons to believe that he never would fight again and that he would withhold the announcement of his retirement until he had capitalized to the limit on his title. Now be is giving just as many reasons to believe that he is serious in his intention to return to the ring. The champion never has been one to engage in loose talk. If Jack f*arns had been doing the recent talking about all the tights that Dempsey wants there would be reasons to believe that the inspired publicity was behind the conversation. When Dempsey tells you he is going to fight this year, you get the Idea somehow that he means just what he says. He hasn’t the art of Jack Kearns in giving you a yes when he means no. As far as his wife is concerned, it is quite apparent that she hasn't any objection to Dempsey’s profession or if she doesn’t want him to fight again that she has set no order against it.
Dempsey, from all appearances, is still his own boss and more of his own boss than ever since he fell out with Jack Kearns. There is an angle, however, to the complicated situation that concerns Dempsey. One of the many stories, told with some degree of reliability, is that she and Kearns had a disagreement when Dempsey was courting her after she had heard some remarks that had been made abtfut her. After they were married she is supposed to have told her husband that if he ever fought again she wanted Kearns to get very little out of it. Kearns and Dempsey were generally believed to have worked for years on a verbal agreement that gave them a fifty-fifty split of all their earnings. There is a rule of the New York Boxing Commission providing that a signed contract of a manager with his boxer must be filed with the commission before the manager can do business for his boxer in New York. Previous to the Dempsey-Firpo fight, Kearns applied for a manager's license and the application was accompanied by a construct showing that Kearns was to get one-third of Dempsey's purses Until September, 1926. The insistence with which Dempsey is demanding that his fight with Harry Wills, which would mean at the very least a half-million dollars to Dempsey, be deferred until the fall of 1926, gives reason for the belief that Dempsey wants to be his own manager for that fight and get the full value of the nurse.

On Argentine Ranches 1 Buenos Aires, Aug. 6—(United Press The example set by the fine showing ! of Argentine polo players abroad has 5 done mmch to stimulate interest in ' the game in this country where it now ’ counts over one thousand enthusiastic players. r Sunday matches and periodical tourament are the order of the day, and all games played draw big crowds of ’ interested spectators. The game as played in Argentina is always full of 1 excitement as the Argentine polo player prefers a fast game with a constant change of ponies. ' An Argentine pony, accustomed to 1 cattle work, is quickly trained into a first class po>o pony, since instant obedience to the rein is as necessary in one as in the other. On Argentine "estancias” hundreds of ponies are to be found which for cleverness could not be beaten on any of the polo grounds of the world although they might prove lacking in the phenomenal speed displayed by thoroughbreds. The main diversion of Argentine polo players is working amongst the cat’le on “estancias" which requires speed and dexterity and therefore when he takes up polo all that he needs is to learn the use of the stick and the general rules of the game. . —— , 0 Miss Marietta Dailey, of Paulding, Ohio, is spending a week with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Beery Says: Grandest Stomach

Tigers Pick Reds And Athletics For Big Series New York, Aug. 6—Cincinnati and Philadelphia for the next world’s series, is the choice of the Detroit players who are now in town with Ty Cobb for a series with the N'ejv York Yanks. The guess of the Athletics for the American league championship is no great surprise, but two weeks ago any ball player picking the Reds for the National league pennant would have been viewed suspiciously. In the last two weeks however, the Reds have made such a spurt and the Pirates and the Giants have slumped so much that competent critics had been looking at the Cincinati club as a dark horse possibility. The Tiger players admit they have not seen much of the National League teams this year, but they favor the Reds on account of the fine pitching staff and the general breaks. The Pirates and the Giants, they point out, have been batting each other all season and they are worn ragged by a pace that they started too early and

cannot be maintained for the remain
der of the season. The Reds had all their bad luck early in the season and they are just now getting the breaks that every contending team has to have to keep in the running. The Tigers favor Athfteics against the Champion Senators because of their youth and hustle. Their opinion is against the expert belief and the theory of Washington management that veteran players will be able to stand the gaff of the drive through the stretch better than Connie Mack’s band of kids. Ty Cobb has not much to say about his team this year. He is looking to the future and making plans for next year. Cobb has let it be known that he is going to do general house cleaning this fall and that Manush is the only player on the club who is sure of his job.

HOOSIER BASKETBALL Indiana Coaches Again Marching Toward Net Title In Summer Coaching School At U. Os Illinois. The Dally llllni, college journal published at the University of Illinois, is spending much time enthusing about Hoosier basketball, since the Indlanlans walked off with the chain plonshlp of the summer coaching school last summer and are headed toward another championship this summer. Coach M. A. Kennedy, D-H. S. basketball and track mentor, and Coaches Mendenhall and Bills, of Central high school, Fort Wayne, were members of the Hoosier team that won the title last summer. The team which is marching toward another championship this summer is composed or, Paul Church, former Lebanoon and Purdue star; Burl Friddle Washington H. S- coach and former Franklin flash Jones formerly Butler star ami now Tipton H. S. coach; Young of Depauw and Masters of Purdue. The Daily lllini says: Indiana Basketeers Indiana knows her basketball! Other states may turn out the most coton, the most wheat the most evolutionists, or the most preachers, but when one wants basketeers Indiana is thp best source. And the Hoosiers sent a few coaches over to the Illinois summer coaching course. In fact they rank second to Illinois in total enrollment figures. And last year they won the summer interstate basketball tournament here. Monday afternoon a couple of coaches from Tennessee brought to an end a sermon on evolution and its evils by declaring that Indiana might know basketball but that the TennesseeOklahoma coaches were that night going to eliminate the Hoosier coaches from the inter-state basketball tournament. They may have meant what they were saying or they may have been bluffing, but Indiana called the bluft that night and the Hoosiers are still in the race for the titles, 38 to 10 was the sad news and Darrow could could not have done a better job of making the Tennessee bos look like monkeys. iAnd oh yes. Indiana boys CAN play basketball. And it looks like they will again be the summer inter-state basketball champs. They are now in the semifinals and rarin’ to go.
