‘Wolf' Larsen Looms on Sport Horizon as New Heavy Hope Suede Fighter, Who Made Fans Sit Up in Amateur Circles, Turns ‘Pro.’ By DAMON RCXYON. XEW YOKX, July 2.—ls you are an amateur box.ug ian you may recall, In the recent :ournaments hereabouts, one Magnus Larsen. If not, a description may refresh your memory. Short, pudgy, red-headed, open-faced, wall-eyed, serious, with a terrific sock. That’s the lad. Magnus, hereafter to be known as “Wolf" Larsen, after Jack London’s great character in' "The Sea Wolf,” ia a heavyweight. In the tournaments he represented the Norwegian Turnverein. He went through the heavyweight class in taose tournaments like water through a tin hern. Larsen has large blue, appealing eyes. When he would crawl through the ropes to meet some stout opponent he would roll those eyes about and everybody would get ready to cry for him. Larsen, cn showing up at the tournaments, always had the appearance of having Just climbed down from the driver's seat of an ice wagon. There was that about him which so suggested. He was invariably brief and to the point. "Av came to fight,” he would say. Then he would go into the ring and while everybody was feeling despondent al tut him, he would haul off and knock someone silly, t 81 ALLY DDES TRICK WITH BODY PUNCH. Surely you must remember Larsen now. Half a dozen managers of professional fighters gat very much excited about Larsen—once they saw him hit. He usually dropped his man with a body punch, and good body pnnehers are so rare that they always attract attention. V arious offers were made to the Red Viking to turn pro. but he declined them all. He said he wanted to go through the rational arnaeur tournament first, and then he would listen to Ideas on the subject of making box-ng his life calling The big tournament over, with Magnus one of the leading figures, he has now decided to l k everybody In the world, jr at least as many persons In the world o possible. He has sgtied up with Toll! O'Rourke, the veteran manager of fighters and his schooling has already commenced. Tom us. 1 to attend the amateur tournament' religiously. He was ns excited about Magnus as any one else. In Tom and the writer used to hold forth hr the hour in the back part of the hall* on the merits of the crude Norw nan with the fearful body punch. Tom writes that he has turtle! Mag mis over to ran Hickey for Instruction. It is Tom who changes Magnus' name t,, -Wolf" b.v a simple twist of the typewriter. Tom thinks It sounds letter than Magnus.

”iß%xlng''s greatest showman.” That is tho title which George Lewis tlx) Rickard promoter of the Carpentier Dempsey bout, has earned in the staging of bouts drawing the largest gate receipts In the history of the sport Rickard was born tn Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 2, 1871. Hl* father, a millwright, moved to the Panhandle of Texas when the embryo promoter was a small boy. At the age of 12 years, thrown on h!a own resources, with a widowed - mother, two brothers and three sisters to support, “Tex” turned to the calling of cowpunching. He met success in the cattle business, but in 3894 "hit the trail” for the Klondike. Months of hardship brought fair return*, but after a year or two in Dawson, Rickard again moved This time h drew up In Go dfield, Nev . at the time when the mining crazo engulfed that section But Goldfield was not satisfied with the local activity which the miners brought to that place.

SIDELIGHTS FROM THE RINGSIDE

Ringside, Jersey City, July 2. It was rumored during the morning that 100 men had been arrested i:. thvicinity ol the arena, but the report proved untrue. A number of uien hsd hidden la tho arena all night in hope of seeing the fight for nothing They were discovered when the arena was wsshel down with several line* of hose, which shot high nowered srreaui* over the whole structure In a perfect deluge. Streets n*ar the arena looked like a Mard! Gras in full blast. Stands for the sale of sandwiches id s ft drinks lined the street. The thoroughfare were filled with street vender.-, selling everything from hot dogs to French dictionaries. Emergency, police and hospital stations were established near the arena. When the bleacher gates were opened a mad stampede started but wo* quickie smothered by an avalanche of cop*, who crushed the unruly by sheer w. igbt of numbers. Tex Rickard, promoter of the big affair. was on hand early, lie came and went through tue waiting crowds near his "office" at the rear of th<- arena, wholly unrecognized. Another early arrival was Alf Rlngllng, the showman, generally I elleve.l to be associated with Rickard flu..r dally in his various sporting ventures. There was practically I betting around the ring. Wherever a wager ws offered It was on a '* o 1 basis that Dempsey would win. There were few taker*. When day broke over tho ‘•Jungle” surrounding" the arena there wero scores of huddled forms scattered about In the mud still slumbering on tho crumbled newspapers which had been their couches.

Through the murk of factory amok" and Jersey mist could be seen hundred* of men and boys milling around and around tho arena, tentatively Inspecting the boarded up entrances, exchanging hard boiled badinage witn the cops, pursuing various objectives, but all apparently moving about principally for the purpose of quenching their restless ness. Police officials, who had established n dead Une three blocks from tho arena, beyond which no vehicle* were permitted to go unless their occupants showed tickets, believed the crowds which would be unable to get into th- arena would number close to 50,009 before tho light began. Around noon the $5 seats were filled ns far as an eye from way down the middle of the bowl could detect. Rome of the bugs were perched on top of the railing. John Dempsey, brother of the olififn pion. arrived at the ringside a little after 11 o’clock He hail a badge with a picture of his brother pinned on his lapel He expressed himsplf as extremely confident that the champion would win within three rounds. He bad seen his brother an hour before he entered the stadium and said at that time that the champ was in fine mental fettle. He left him playing cards at General Heppenheinier's house with Joe Beniamin, lightweight member of the Kearns stable. Early in the day Dempsey received a long telegram from his mother In Salt Lake City, the contents of which was not revealed, but In which she expressed the hope and the confidence that her boy would keep the championship in America. French colors were In evidence all around the top of the arena. The Stars and Stripes were alternated with the tricolor at every twenty yards around the rim. Tex Rickard, owner and boss of the whole show, appeared at the ringside at 10:45. He walked down through the crowd without being recognized He stood In the press box with an unlighted cigar In his mouth, gazing up at the skies. "I am well satisfied.” Rickard said. “The weather is just what I wanted The crowd Is coming fine. I think I'U have a million and a half house.” A band, in shirt sleeves, blew some snappy jazz. The official gloves were brought In shortly after 11 a. m and p'aced in charge of Mrs. Charles 1!. McNair and Mrs Charles Lyons, wives of members of the State boxing commission, who were the first women in the boxes. Some of the fortunates who were able to get places on the roof of the Columbia Shade Company's building, just out-

'boosters'' wanted national note, and Rickard suggested a championship boxing match. From his friends he secured enough money to offer Jimmy Britt and Terry McGovern a $30,000 guarantee for a championship bout in Goldfield. Coming from an unknown, ut that time, the offer was hailed by the boxers and their managers as u joke. Rickard kept right on, however, and the managers of Joe Gans and "Buttling' Nelson were more susceptible to the SJO.OOo Since that time Rickard astounded the country with hi* guarantee of slol.f*M for the Johnson-Jeffriea battle st Reno in 1910. But hbs receipts totaled $270 000 and he emerged a winner by JIOu.OOO. Receipt* for the Wt lard-Dempaev bout at Toledo, July 4, 1919 amounted to $450,000. anew high mark Bouts staged by him In Madtaon Kquar* Garden during the six months previous to last March brought In more than $1,300,000.

Whether It Is permissible f r sn.-h evidence to be submitted will t.e decided by Judge Hugo Friend, who will begin hearing the case next Tuesday.

TRIBE TACKLE® COLONEL C M After Dropping Two at r :M Indians Move on Kentucky. TOLEDO, July 3—The Indians left foi Louisville last night after a none too successful series with the Hens. Tha Tribe grabbed two of the five gam!s Played when Petty and Rogga came through with a real brand of hurlljsfe. Jack's crew will play the leading Colonels four games In three days. Y'esterday the Hoosiers lost both scraps largely through Ineffective pitching. The veteran Cavet was easy for the local bunch, who finally drove him to cover in the seventh inning of the first game. Pug was almost satisfied with the day, though, because in the fifth ho drove one over the right field wall for a mighty homer. In the second contest Weaver and Bartlett were bombarded for fifteen hits and thirteen runs. There was pie.nty of hitting in both contests. Bresnahan's men getting a total of thirty bingles while the Indians connected for twenty-two. Seven homa runs were made during the afternoon. Kinsella got two and Cavet one for Indianapolis. Hendricks still has plenty of confidence In his club and thinks that things will break his way before long. He was particularly pleased over the snowing of Rogge and Petty in the series Just ended The team Is anxious to take a fall out of the chesty Colonels and are liable to do that very thing If the pitchers deliver.

HE\S’ MANAGER GETS THE AIR TOLEDO, July 2. Derby D&j Bill Clymer has about four more days to wear a Toledo baseball uniform, according to reports here last night. After that ho is to be relieved of his command here and be permitted to ga where he pleases. Bill and Roger Bresnahan have come to th® parting of th ways. Clymer will be paid the full year's salary provided la his contract and then will be asked to depart. There has been friction between Clymer and his boss since before the season started. The first misrake seems to have been made when Bresnahan went with tht club to the training camp. Clvmer had some Ideas of training, so did Roger, but th°y didn't hitch up worth a cent, and Clymer threatened to reason ii Roger didn't give him full control oi things. Breenaban assented, but It went against the grain. Breonahan has ail his money tied up as principal stockholder of the Toledo outfit and he did not approve of the way BUI was running things. He blames his manage* for the poor showing the team has made almost from the very start of the season. The directors off the dub held a meeting f.tLd put it up to Roger to get th# club oit of the rut and get the attendance back to where it should belong. A club that can win a prize for opening day crowds two years in succession should be drawing more than 1,000 os so a day, they contend. ‘Babe* Gets New Hit; ‘Too High to Handle* Since Babe Ruth began hitting the ball so hard anew style of base bit has been discovered. He lilts 'em too high to ba fielded. Some of the great sluggers, like Heilman, Ruth, Cobh and others, hit ’em too hard to be handled by the inflelders and scorers give them hits when they punch the ball through an infielder, but until recently such a thing as a twobase hit to the infield was unknown. Babe made a two-bagger to the shortstop the other day. He popped the ball so high in the air that it seemed to disappear from view. McClelland, the utility inflelder for the White Sox, watched the spot in the sky where it disappeared and waited for it to come buck into sight. Eventually he glimpsed and camped under It. But the ball encountered various currents of air and drifted as it ame down. McClellan changed his position several times, finally became confused and let It fall safely a couple of feet away from him. Ruth had run to second base before the ball came down. Now Ruth will probably try for an Infield home run, the only kind he hasn't made. Here is an idea for both infielders and. outfielders. They might claim that muffed flies are bits because they were "too high to handle.”

Princeton and Yale Meet in Golf Finals GREENWICH. Conn., July 2.—Princeton and Tale representatives were to meet in the final round of the Intercollegiate golf championship tournament at the Greenwich Country Club today when J. Simpson Dean, the Princeton captain, was to play Jesse Sweetster, .he defending champion, at thirty-six holes. In the semi-final Friday afternoon Dean had no trouble in eliminating Thomas B. Morris, the lust of the Cambridge players, 7 up and 6 to play, while Sweester had to extend himself to win from A. L. Walker, Jr., the Columbia captain. Not Like Cubs of Old. CHICAGO, July 2.-—“ They say,” said an old Cub fan, ’’that there's nothing In a name, but I claim that the Cubs of today ain't the fighters they used to be. Take that old mob. for instance. There was Frank Chance, and Joe Tinker and Artie Hofman and Jimmy Sheckard —ail guys with regular names. "But look at the birds they've got today. There's Clarence Twombly and Percy .Tones and Virgil Cheeves and so on. Why, in the eighth inning of a recent game Clarence (Twombly) batted for Percy (Jones). “And these are the Cubs. It's a wonder Johnny Evers, who was one of the old-time crew, ain't ashamed of himself.” Cobb Out for Three Weeks With Injury CLEVELAND, July 2.—lnjuries received bv Ty Cobb, manager of the Detroit Tigers,’ in sliding into a base in Thursday's game with Cleveland probable will keep the star outfielder out of the came for at least three weeks, nhvsicians announced Friday. In doing a liook slide, Cobb spiked lmnself in the knee. Five stitches were necessary. COLLEGIAN WITH SYRACUSE. Lefty Kuhnert. former star pitcher of Syracuse University, has signed a contract with the Syracuse Internationals, nominally, but it is expected that if he makes good he wi'l later be transferred to the St. Louis Cardinals. Kuhnert’s home is in Rochester. Some time since it was reported he would sign with the Chicago Cubs, but Tony Cummings, former manager of the Syracuse team, influenced him to cast his lot with Landgraff, Rickey & Cos. REAL "BUSINESS” IDEAS. The president of the Meridian Club of the Mississippi State League has “businecs” ideas of his own. He would not let a visiting team bring its little negro mascot into the park unless it bought him a ticket. It also is alleged he made a substitute umpire pay admission on a day that he was not working. MANAGES ALL PLAYING.

All clubs of the league now have playing managers, as follows: Romine for Sheffield. McNutt for Albany, Smith for Columbia and Cochran for Russellville. TWO PIRATES IN HOSPITAL.
