HEAVYWEIGHT STARS EASE UP IN TRAINING ROUTINE FOR BENTON HARBOR SCRAP MONDAY

BOXERS ALTER WAY OF GOING FOR BIG BOUT Dempsey Trains to Box and Miske Tries to Build Slugging: Style. CHAMP MORE SKILLFUL FIGHT TICKETS HERE. Due to a delay at the Bentdn Harbor office, tickets for the Dempsey-MUke Prli't did not arrive here until last night. They were placed on sale at Stegemeicr’s, li North Illinois street, today. A large crowd of Hoosier* is planning to ride the "Hoosier special" to the scene of battle. The special train was arranged for by Jack Druley, manager of Chuck Higgins, who meets Harry Greb In a sixround battle on the card. By FRANK G. MENKE. (International News Correspondent.) BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Sept. 3 The quaintest feature of the Jack Demp-sey-Btlly Miske fisticuffing affair on Labor day is that each man, all through training camp days, has trained to acquire the style of the other. The champion, almost ignoring practice in the manly art of “knocking ’em dead," which he knows so well, haa schooled hour after hour in boxing; has sidetracked all other aims to accomplish speed in leg. speed of arm and defensive trickery. He's been doing it because he expects Miske will box him and he wants to meet Miske at his own game. MISKE SCHOOLS IN SLUGGING. And all the while, Miske, figuring that Dempsey is going to wage a slugger battle, has been shelving practice in the boxing department and has been educating his paws into dropping a man of about Dempsey's size into a state of tensecond coma. All of which provokes the quiz: "Are they going to carry their training camp intent into the ring?” If they do, one may be privileged to witness the peculiar spectacle of Dempsey. the slugger, boxing bis rival, and' Miske, the boxer, devoting himself to sluggery of the most vicious kind. In Dempsey's behalf, it can be said “ - / > Alas, Poor Jack! BENTON HARBOR. Mich.. Sept. 3. —Benjamin—other name unknown at this writing, but head of the prominent cult of Israelite's at the House of David—watched the Miske workout yesterday afternoon with his prominent lieutenants, and after watching the big St. Paul man go through his stunts he issued a prediction. “Dempsey can not win this fight,” he said. “I have watched Miske. and i know that the clean living fellow like this boy will be the victor. The spring waters here pu{ a lot of rejuvenation into the boys who train ;ere, and I really believe it makes hem unbeatable. Dempsey can not win.” that he has shown far more brilliantly as a boxer than Miske has developed as a swatsmith. In fact, Dempsey has amazed fans day after day by his wonderful skill in both branches of the ring art. Miske of today has been hittihg harder than the Miske of any other era. But Miske hasu't been doing a fearful damage, even though he hns driven with great power against the jaws and bodies of his foeman. Miske can hit a terrible sock these days, but this doesn't anchor him within a dozen miles of Dempsey In . punching power. MAY FORGET ON MONDAY. Perhaps the boys have been schooling in the style or the orher only for the purpose of using their new found education in cases of extreme emergency. Probably each will go into the ring, using the same old tactics that brought tuem fame and fortune i:i previous battles. But if they should swap styles, what a weird but fearfully interesting spectacle it would be. Both fighters were to let up on training today. They milled furiously with their sparring partners yesterday and were still to do some boxing, but the days of chance taking have passed. About 2.000 persons saw Dempsey yesterday in a whirlwind three rounds with Harry Greb, Pittsburg Greb fougiit viciously all the way, and his speed kept the champion on the go. Miske's friends were not distressed by the showing of the champion. They were hopeful his long layoff had ta.ien the sting out of bis hooks. While not making a lot of noise these Miske back ♦rs claimed to be confident Billy can stay the t“n rounds ami that If he gets by the first five he has an excellent ensue, to win. Miske hi-nself was unworried. The norse-flay around the camp gave more the appearance of a big kid on vacatio.i rather than that of a boxer doomed to meet one of the most vicious punchers hi the prize ring. Fin-? weather has boomed the ticket rale and Matchmaker Fitzsimmons has estimated a $175,000 house. The arena was practically completed today. It Is a natural "punch bowl” and the lack of high stands has obviated the danger o' collapse Flt/.siiumon a chose toe amphitheater iter one experience in which ' is baseball bleachers broke down with t crowd. One of the bouts on the Monday card was checked off today when Tony Mel,'hoir, Chicago heavyweight, informed Promoter I-'loJ-d Fitzsimmons that a recent injury to bis left leg would prevent him frjm meeting Homer Smith or Kalamazoo. Fitzsimmons In looking around in the hope of finding a strong middleweight who will take on Marty Farrell, the middleweight in Dempsey's camp. In a substitute bout. CHUCK READY TO MEET GREB Chuck Wiggins. Indianapolis light heavyweight, is in the pink of condition for his battle with Harry Greb, Pitts burg bruiser, in the semi-final bout of the Dempsey-Miske championship go at Benton Harbor Labor day. Since his defeat at the hands of the Pittsburger at Kalamazoo recently. Wiggins ha* been in strenuous training on his farm north of the city and today his •wanager. Jack Druley, announced him fUady to slip his old rival a merry battle. il the coming six-round encounter. Greb has t>een working with Champion Dempsey for the past few days and reports from the Benton Harbor camp say that he is working wonders with his mitts. Wiggins has been putting his training licks with a pair of big boys and Tommy MeDuff, speedy local featherweight. A number of Hoosier fight faus "ill make the trip to Benton Harbor on the “Hoosier Special,” arranged by Druley. -leason Confident, but He’s Not Saying Much CHICAGO. Sept. 3 Kid who last year led the Chicago White Sox to a -championship of the American league, is beginning to believe In Jlnxea —If he never did before. He has declined to predict that the White Sox will win a pennant. Asked what he thought of his team’s chances to figure again In a world’s series, he declared he had nothing to say except that he has a good baseball club, one that will fight hard. However, 'it was learned from members of the .White Sox team that they and Gleason believe the switch which sent Ted Jourdan to the bench and placed John Collins, formerly an outfielder at first base, supplied the punch and Infield team work that shot the Sox out in front recently. If the Sox win again this year they will he ready to give a vote of thanks to Collins. Joordan is a remarkably fine fielder, but his hitting was very week. Collins’ hitting and most base running are the things which make bis presence as a regular desirable.

The White Sox. believed to be a shattered ball club last fall anil untouched this spring, now has another grand chance In the race for the American league pennant. They have four star pitchers hurling winning ball. JA. Jackson and the other sluggers are keeping up their end. Kid Gleason's hurlers got away to a slow start this year, but now Eddie Clootie and Lefty Williams, the two stars who pitched the team to the flag last year and then made such a sorry showing in the world's series, are hurling the ball that carried the team through the 1919 race. Dick Kerr, the little chap who proved to be the White Sox star of the series and the only man who could halt the Reds, is running neck and neck with Cteotte. Urban Faber, off form lest season, has won two-thirds of his starts so far this year. Olcotte, Williams, Kerr and Faber, all in form, make a pitching staff that ought to turn the tglok with fair support. While the Soz rank below the Cleveland Indians. Nationals and Browns In batting. yet Slugger Josephus Jackson. Ed die Collins, Buck Weaver and Happy I'alsch are bitting over .300 and hitting when the swats are needed. The team la fielding cleanly. YANKEES FACE ROAD HANDICAP Rival Sox and Spokemen Have Edge in Race. CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—Chicago and Cleveland appeared today to be set to battle it out for first place In the American league. The Tanks, now in third place, still are factors la the race, but the block signal is set against them. The dope that seems to point this way is: The White Sox an:l the Cleveland Spokemen now are on their home grounds and will stay there for twenty two of the twenty-eight remaining games. The Yanks will be on the road most of the time and there Is no getting a"ay from the fact that traveling Is a great efficiency reducer. The Yanks, however, with "murderers’ row" functioning can overturn a lot of things and dope may be one of them. The Sox always were famous for play ing their best with the "money" In Sight. The Spokemen apparently have recovered from their slump and the merry battle Is on. The National league chase was tightened a trifle yesterday when the Giants crept up on Brooklyn by winning from Pittsburg, the Robin* being Idle. Cincinnati slid a little farther to the fore by winning from St. Louis.

Positive Proof Less than a year ago, In January, I stopped making suits for (he trade. I was tired of letting the other fellow got the profits, so 1 set up a shop of my own, I bid for customers. The first week they trirkled in; by the third they had swelled into a good sized stream. Many of them came In a "show-me” frame of mind. They didn't believe 1 COULD make an all-wool, cus-tom-tailored suit at the low price I advertised. But they canto ami saw, ordered a suit and were satisfied. I began to get a lot of word-of-mouth advertising. A man told his frlend.i, they told theirs. My business has steadily grown. I’m giving men good clothes, good tailoring, and I’m saving them money. The growth of my business ought to have convinced tue that I'd made good. Yet I wasn’t wholly satisfied. The coming of fall has convinced me. My old customers are coming back. They’re bringing their friends with them and ordering winter suits and overcoats. I’m convinced. REPEAT ORDERS ARE POSITIVE PROOF. LEON ETTINGER.

Hoosiers Will Face Strong Opposition in State Net Meet Illinois Sending Strong Squad After Title Cleveland Women Stars Entered. A net event that Is causing no small amount of comment these days Is the Indiana state open championship tourney to be played on the Indianapolis Tennis association courts next week, starting Monday.

Thert are several bright lights around the city who have fulled to send In their entry blanks, to date, and, as 6 o'clock this evening was the deadline, the officials today felt that a few* of them would be left tut In the cold.

INDIANS STILL IN SEARCH OF TIMELY BLOWS Fail to Hit Behind Good Pitching, but Manage to Win One. COLONELS BOISTEROUS The Indians were still on the trail of their lost batting eyes today, though a 3-to-2 victory over the Colonels yesterday renewed some of their confidence and indications are that they mean to come out of their batting slump by degrees. Charlie Whitehouso was slated for mound duty this afternoon and, as it was “ladies' day,” the Tribesmen /were hopeful of doing something brilliant to please the fair fans. The Ilooslers got good pitching again yesterday, but were lucky to win for Gaw because they didn't do much with the bludgeon and won the contest through the wildness of Ed Miller, former Brewer, now wearing a Louisville uniform The game was marred by horse play and boisterous conduct on the part of the Colonels, who evidently don’t care what kind of an impression they make whenever the luck is not going thei? way. Asa result of their attitude Catcher Kocher was fired off the lot by Umpire Finneran and Catcher Meyer received a fine for using profane language on the field. Kocher evidently was determined to get thrown out of the game and continued to slow up the contest in various ways until he was given the gate. Second Baseman Betzel also took part In hlppodromlng the affair by rolling on the ground.jmd otherwise doing things that have no place in American asssoclation baseball. j It would be well for President Hickey to take notice of the Colonel systei i and do something to check It. Both clubs scored In the first Inning yesterday, and In the fifth the viators took the lead. In the sixth Pitcher Miller blew up, and during his ascension the Hoosiers scored twice and made the count 3 and 2, where it remained. In the seventh a dispute arose at the plate during a threatened Louisville rally (Continued on rage Fifteen.)
