DEMPSEY SHOWS PEP IN WORKOUT Ex-Champion Demonstrates He Is More In Earnest Than Champion Tunney By Henry L. Farrell (UP Staff Correspondent) Chicago, Sept. 16. — (UP) Whatever the merits of Gene Tunney an I Jack Dempsey on the eve of their bout for tlie heavyweight championship Dempsey had demonstrated that he is more in earnest about it. Tha may not he saying a lot in view of the extensive resting done by both the contestants recently, but ' in the special exhibitions for news-1 paper men yesterday afternoon and' last night. Jack thrashed out with a lot more enthusiasm and damage to his sparring partners than Tunney did. Dempsey worked under the arc lights at his Lincoln Fields race track ring and went six fas' rounds with sparring partners of a variety of weights He looked good—maybe not good enough, but a lot belter than many of the experts watching him anticipated. The champiop, on the other hand, went through a few listless rounds, boxing cleanly and efficiently, hut displaying none of the light and fury which Dempsey got in o his workout last night. . Jack tackled Dave Shade first and slipped the fast middleweight's left jabs consistently. In his next round with Big Boy Peterson, the New Orleans heavy, Jack was un pointed, but he carried the fight at the end of the round and could have disposed of Peterson in another three minutes if it toad been in earnest. Whitley Allen caught the full measure of the Dempsey fury and was unconscious before the round was over. Jack refused to stop for such a small detail and Allentown’Joe Gans climb ed under the ares to finish the round. He also worked' a round with Roy Williams and Benny Krueger. Tunney appeared from his threeday rest late in the afternoon and went six round with three of his Punchers. He looked just as good as he ever did and his physical condition leaves nothing to be desired. L—o — SCOREBOARD (By United Press) f Another game was to be played by the Pirates with the seemingly helpless Braves today while the Giants were to go from their series with the Cardinals to Cincinna 1. St. "Louis, the other team pushing Pittsburgh for the lead in the National league, teas idle. The Pirates advanced another half game in the league race yesterday by nosing out the Braves, 2 Io 1, while the Giants and Cards were dividing a double header. Carmen Hill pitched the Pirate's fifth straight victory over Boston. He allowed five hi s and held the Braves scoreless after they made one run in the second. The Giants battered four Card pitchers to win the first game, 11 to 3. Faulkner and Benton limited St. Louis to seven hi s. The Cards came back in a loosely played second game, however, to win, 8 to 5. It was necessary for the Yanks to postpone winning the 100th game of the season because the heavy hitting squad couldn't compete wi h Uhle's curves. The Indians won, 3 d, 2 and the Yanks got only seven hits. Aside from a four run rally in the sixth, which tied the score the White Sox were held scoreless by the Athletics and the latter broke the tie in lhe seventh to win, 5 to 4. Gaston of the Browns and Harriss of Boston engaged in a pitching duel from which the former emerged victor, 2 to 1. Taking the lead from the Senators ! Ly a four-run rally in the seventh, the Tigers won, 6 to 5.

Naw Coach Fools Army for First Touchdown in C nicago (By Sol Metzger) f In the by' ‘rwt.r.l Sn RktonMUng «,.,•. Th* i<he Army bucks had been prime d to wt.tch Lloyd. Navy > ion ■ fenred receiver. t* ** / Tr ' \ \ n ... L- - This pass had many merits attached to it First, it started like a run to the Navy's right. As a result of th.'s feint the Army left wing back. Gilbreth. and Dahl, who was back ng up tU«> line, came in to check the runner. To c inch the pass Lloyd, No. 5, left enfl, shirted down the field at tin* snap of the ba’l, drawing not only the other Army wing back but the attention, of the Army safety man, Meehan as well. This permitted Hardwick. Navy right end. No. 6 in the diagram, to get into open territory. All he had to do was' put on a burst ot speed to pass the Army's left w.ng buck wjio was running toward him. , When a coach can pay a play that permits the end going down on the pass to receive* the b-ill to meet the back who should cover him comin- toward him at top speed, as did Ingram, in this case, he is a master tactic an. Ingram accomplished all this by having back No. 2 receive* the ball from center and pass it to Schuber. No. 1. us tlie 'latter ran to his right, angling away from the line all the while. The other backs also ran to the right, blocking the Army end and tackle. Schuber foul'd Hardwick tree, threw 1 him a perfect pass and the latter had nothing to do but sprint for a touchdown.

The Fourth Down By Willie Punt In spite of the present heat wave, the Yellow Jackets are rarin’ to go and are all pepped up over their game with Auburn here tomorrow. Nevertheless, a drop of about 20 degrees in the temperature before Saturday afternoon would be greatly appreciated by the Yellow Jackets and their coach, “Brick” Tyndall. “While the r..'.vs that Dale Ellenberger would not return to school here this yepr e’me as a severe blow to the Tiger prospects Coach Means has some very promising youngsters who should be able to give a good account of themselves. The boys are all working hard and with the coaching they are getting, should present some real opposition to the conference teams. Ellenberger entered school this fall at New Haven," —Gridiron Dope, Bluffton Danner Fielding 11. “Hurry Up" Yost has resigned as football coach at the University of Michigan.
