DEMPSEY ASSERTS RECORD OF CHALLENGER MAKES HIM WORTHY FOE IN COMING BOUT

CHAMP RATES MISKE HIGHER THAN CRITICS Says Experts Fall Short in Credit for Labor Day Opponent. HAS GONE LIMIT TWICE By FRANK G. MENKE, International News Correspondent. BENTON HARBOR. Mich., Aug. 30. One of the things which mystify Jack Dempsey Is the general impression that he picked something “soft” when he decided upon Billy Miske, as his Labor day opponent. i “He gave me the toughest fight I ever ’ had in my ring caieer,” Dempsey declared, “and he's a whole lot tougher today than he ever was before. He's bigger by nearly twenty-five pounds. And the spinal trouble which afflicted him for several years has been corrected ,and he has been pronounced physically perfect. Yet some folks call him soft. KNOWS MISKE AS FIGHTER. “1 wish I could feel the same way. And ;I hope they are right. Nothing would please me more than to find Miske an easy mark and hang it oa Mm for a knockout with the first few punches. But I know Miske—know him as a fighter a whole lot better than most folks. And I'll say he’s tough. “Willard was a cinch for me—one of the easiest foemen I ever had. The sporting world will admit that he never had a chance to win after the first minute of the first round was over. But if I was matched with him Labor day, instead of Miske. I suppose some folk would think it would be a tough fight for me. But I'm matched with a man who has gone sixteen rounds with me—more than Willard, Fulton, Morris, Levineky and half dozen others put together, and yet they call him ‘soft.’ “I expect to best Miske —I hope to knock him out. If I didn’t think so I wouldn’t have accepted the match. Now and then a champion accepts a maten with a man whom he thinks he can’t beat. When it comes to finding Miske easy—well, I guess those who have such thoughts have a few more thinks coming.” Indianapolis Team in First Intercity Net Tourney Defeat Indianapolis’ lead in the intercity tennis lead was cut down yesterday after- • noon when A. W. Shaw and W. D: Washburn of Chicago won two of the three Indianapolis-Chieago matches : played on Carl Fisher's indoor courts. - Fritz Bastion turned in the only Indianapolis victory when he defeated Shaw 6-4. 7-5, in two well-plaved sets. A1 Kipp taking the place of Johnny Hennessey who is now playing in_ the rational tournev at Forest Hills N. Y. lost a bitter battle with Washburn by s 1-6 6-3 ti-1 scores This count does not J tell a good storv of the match because Kipp was fighting hard all the time and the Chicago star earned every point he scored. In the doubles match the Indianapolis players went down to defeat after a three-set battle. The scores were S-6, 5-7, 6-4. ! Bastian played one of the best games of bis career to beat Shaw in the first singles match and the large crowd >f fans that witnessed the affair were lib- „ eral with their applause for the many shots pulled by the raugv r southpaw. . It looked as though Kipp would have ► easy sailing in his singles fight, when t Washburn showed signs of wildness in l the first set and lost. However, the • Windy City youth showed brilliant form to win the next two sets and the match. The doubles match was full of action, but the visitors were the best in the long run and passed out the first Indianapolis defeat of the season. RICHARDS IN •TWIN VICTORY > SOUTHAMPTON, X. Y„ Aug. 30.—Vincent Richards, Yonkers, and Ralph Burdick, Chicago, distinguished themselves by winning the Meadowbrook club dou- . bles championship from the Davis cup stars, William Tildeu II and Charles Garland, 6-2, 3-6, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5, here Sat1, urday afternoon. Richards also won *he Meadowbrook singles title, defeating William Clothier of Philadelphia. 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 6-0. Richards was easily the feature per- - former here Saturday afternoon. Besides - showing a world of stuff to defeat the • Philadelphia star in the singles he proved himself the mainstay of the winning doubles combination bv jumping In and playing with such speed and accuracy that the men on the opposite side of the net were completely swept off their feet. Tllden at times tried to carry the dou Mes fight single-handed, bnt the masterful lobs and smashes of the young Yonkers’ flash were more than he could handle.

Tick Dempsey and B.ily Miske today saw an end to their strenuous training. Both camps reported : - themselves satisfied with the development of the scrappers and prospects were that the heavy work would be ended Friday. The,followings of both fighters were augmented today and some hard ring work was In prospect. Miske had expected to loaf Monday, but 500 fans Invaded his camp, and the t challeng* £ crawled Into ring togs to show what he can do. He roughed his •partners for six rounds and went through his stunts. ‘ Dempsey sloshed around a ring made slippery by heavy rains, but he entertained the fans. Dempsey s clouts were landing hard, launching out from his swaylug crouch In the old familiar way. 'Promoters of the bout announced all their plane completed today. The ticket 1 el was reported satisfactory.

TRIBE STRIVES FOR COMEBACK OVER CLYMERS Three Defeats by Senators During Week-End Cause Stir in Indian Camp, LOOSE PLAYING COSTLY After suffering three defeats out of four starts over the week-end, the Indians today decided It was time to do another comeback and Manager Hendricks had Pug Cavet in mind as his pitching choice for the effort. Including the contest this afternoon, three battles remain to be pjayed in the match with the Clymers and, with opportunity left to win the series, the Hooslers were hopeful of showing something this afternoon. The scores of the Sunday contests were 4 to 3, ten innings, Columbus, and 4 to 2, eight Innings, Columbus. On Saturday the Tribesmen managed to grab one out of the two, taking the second struggle, 2 to 1, after having dropped the first game of the day, 4 to t>. Loose plaving caused the defeats Sunday, and though the large crowd saw plentv of baseball, the fans were convinced that if the Hooslers had not been inclined to cnrelessness the two contests would have been annexed. Whltehouse and Sherman hooked up on the mound in the first fray of the afternoon, and it went ten innings when the Indians cracked In the seventh and allowed the Senators to score twice. Brown, a young player with the actions of Ollie O’Mara, finally broke up the party In the tenth when he picked out one of Whitey’s offerings for a home run drive over the low fence back of 1 Duke Reilley. Covington and Rehg hit hard for the Hooslers, the former getting two singles and a triple. The seventh inning, in which the Clymers were handed the honors, went as follows: Kelly, first up, was tossed out by Whltehouse. F. Henry then sent a fly to Rehg's territory and continued on to second base when Rehg apparently played the ball carelessly and muffed It. Bralnerd hit p roller in front of the plate and Henllne proceeded to make a wild heave to first base, permitting F. Henry to score. Brown's single to left sent Bralnerd to third and the latter scored when Henllne dropped Schrelber s throw on Pechous' grounder. Covington put the Hooslers back in the game again when be tripled in the eighth and scored the tying run on Kehgs i single, but the Hooslers were unable to ! squeeze out the needed, fourth marker, ! and In the tenth the Senator* coppedt The second game was lost at the start. Rehg and Schrelber couldn't decide about Bescber's pop fly and it went as a hit. Krueger beat out a roller and Magee moved his mates up with a sacrifice. J. Henry drove Beacher home with a single, j Krueger taking third. F. Henry sent a I bounder to Covington and when Tex tried for a double play Krueger beat the throw to Henllne and scored. The Indians scored a marker in the sixth, but the Senators had also counted In that inning and in the eighth it was j the same. Gaw and Lyonß were the opposing : pitchers and their work was about of • the same brand. John Henry was prominent with the stick for the Senators In this game, the veteran driving home three • runs. Covington. Rehg and Gaw hit well ; for the Indians. Umpires Finneran and Freeman got by the afternoon without much kicking. Finneran had some trouble with the Senators in the second game when they tried stalling tactics ns the time grew: short, but he kept them moviug and eight Innings were completed before 6 o'clock, despite the length of the first fray. Bill Clymer had a big day en the reaching lines but following the game the veteran pilot got a atinger in the pye from a flying cushion. The hurt was of only minor consequence, however, and Bill was not harmed. Carelessness FIRST GAME Indiana AB. R. H. O. A.

Hennessey Is Listed With Favorites in National Net Meet Local Boy Meets Hockmeyer in First Round—Large Entry List. FOREST HILLS. L. 1.. Aug. 30.—With me.mbers of America’s Davis cup team the outstanding figures, the thirty-ninth tournament for the tennis singles championship of the United States got under way here today on the turf courts of tht West Side Tennis club. One hundred and twenty-eight of the nation's best player’s are entered. Feature matches today Included Johnny Hennessey, Indianapolis, vs. Victor Hockmeyer, Lowell, Mass.; Walter Hayes, Chicago, vs. G. Colket Caner, Philadelphia; Richard Norris Williams 11, Philadelphia, vs. Francis T. Hunter, New Rochelle, N. Y.; William M. Johnston, San Francisco, the present champion, vs. Carl Fischer, Philadelphia; William T. Tllden II vs. Lawrence B. Rice, Boston: Willis E. Davis, San Francisco, vs. Theodore Roosevelt Pell, New York. Johnston Is regarded as the favorite for the title, with Tllden and Williams his strongest opponents, bnt followers of the game are speculating on the possibility of Johnston's defeat, considering the strength of players like Clarence ,T. Griffin. Vincent Richards, and others who have been doing fine work this summer. Griffin already has taken the measure of Johnston once. Johnny • Hennessey, Indianapolis star, who has carried through the Indianapolis city, Indiana state, and Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky tristate tournaments, as well as the Intercity series, without defeat this year, Is also being backed by the critics to open the eyes of a few of the starlights. Fans here remember the Indianapolis player, one of the youngest In the tournament, for his brilliant play In the national junior meet here four years ago, when he upset the dope and went to the final round, to be defeated by Charles Garland In a bitter struggle. If weather conditions permit play every day, the tournament will come to a close Saturday.

AN INNING WITH THE AMATEURS By CHARLIE LOGAN

TIMES LOSES IN CLOSE GAME The Elder Reserves offered a record crowd of fans one of the classiest exhibitions of sandlot baseball that has been seen In Indianapolis this year, when they came through the second round of the Indianapolis Independent championship series with a 3-to-l victory over The Times nine on Riverside diamond No. 3 yesterday afternoon. The Times “all-high” nine put up a good scrap against the sandlot veterans, due to the Btellar mound work of Perry Payne, 'and the victory was in doubt until the last out was registered. Up to the fifth Inning the count stood 1 to 0 in favor of the newspaper boys, but In the fifth the Elder wrecking crew composed of Vallie Poirer, “Shorty” Burch, Billy O’Neill and Cathart swung Into action and collected a single, double, triple and another single for three runs and the victory. “Shorty.” by the way. pulled the season’s prize amateur catch when he went up to the tree tops to pull down a liner over the short field. Herb Limpus, assisted by Catcher Cathrart. who did a lot of effective talking, looked good on the Eldpr mound. Limpus allowed six hits, while Perry Payne, the Times hurler, allowed but eight scattered blows. Johnny Rice, Times second saeker, got himself a pair of blows and sprung into stardom with a pretty one-hand shoestring catch that stopped an Elder rally In the third inning. Foley played an errorless game at short for The Times, and hit three out of four times up. Wallie Middlesworth got lost In the bucket the first two times he faced Limpus. Porler hit three times and came near feeding Payne a basebiH dinner the fourth time up. The Elders are a “scrappy" bunch, all right, and they look like the coming

champs. Next Sunday they meet the Bordjpns in the semi-finals. Poole allowed the Turners only three hits at Garfield but the Militaries erred behind him in the first round, letting the Turners score four runs, and lost the battle. Webb had too much stuff for the Willards at Riverside No. 1 and the Ferndales won the right to meet the Turners In the semi-finals next Sunday. The The Times nine will meet the Elder club. Sept. 26, in their closing game. Games with other local clubs are wanted for Sunday afternoons on the Falrvlew diamond. CaU Washington 1050, or address the manager, care of The Times. Manager Felix and his Merchants Heat and Light players would like to know what happened to the Ramblers yesterday afternoon. The clubs were supposed to meet at Willard park, but the Ramblers failed to do their bit. The U. C. S. S. handed the Triangle Juniors an 8-to-0 trimming yesterday. Crawford fanned eleven Triangles. The Rector A. C.s failed to make use of Long’s two triples and they lost, 3 to 2, to the Southern A. C.'s at Brookslde. The battle went ten rounds. Jimmy Carson hurled the Atkins nine to an easy win over the Southern Grays at Ithodius park. Indianapolis All-Stirs beat the Indianapolis Giants, 9 to 2. and the Maroons, 7 to 2, in a two-sided attraction at Northwestern park. Riley AU-Rtars came back from Danville, 111., In defeat, but crowded with stories about the umpire. Umpires, as a rule, are robbers, but they came In for more heck than usual yesterday. Johnny Gaalema’s Merits were rained out at Anderson. AMATECR SERIES TALK. If everybody will kindly take a seat out of reach of the well-known dope bucket, (Continued on I’age Ten.)

OHIO LOSING BASEBALL GRIP Buckeye Hopes Grow Dim as New Yorkers Speed. CHICAGO, Aug. 30.—The principal Industry In New York now appears to be wrecking Ohio. The New York Giants yesterday ended a Joyful visit to Cincinnati by winding up a clean sweep of a series with the Reds. In the meantime the Yanks have driven the Cleveland Indians into third place.
