Ticket Sale for Title Bout Increases and Promoters Have Brighter Outlook

MORE FIGHT TALK HEARD AS MONEY STARMOWING Kearns Predicts Early Win for Champ Confidence Increases in Jack's Camp, Hey! Not So Fast, Shelby! By United Press OMAHA, Neb., June 21—An an nouncement from Shelby, Mont., that Omaha fight fans ordered 1,000 tickets for the Dempsey-Gibbons fight was due to a garbled telegram, ticket promoters here believe. Ernie Holmes, ticket promoter here, said twenty-four had been sold. By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. SHELBY, Mont., June 21.—Just as prospects for making a financial failure of the Dempsey-Gibbons fight began to get out in front again, business started to pick up today when an order for 1.000 tickets was received from Omaha. Reports from other agencies indicated the ticket sale was beginning to develop. Dan Tracy, Great Falls hotel man, in charge of the promoters’ office here, was much more optimistic and said he felt sure the final installment of the $300,000 Dempsey purse would be posted within another week. Railroad Men Busy Officials of the Great Northern Railroad, who were here "Wednesday in conference over plans for the fight, said they were going right ahead with arrangements, figuring there was no doubt the bout would be held. Statements concerning the forthcoming battle were issued from the camps of the champion and challenger. Little Tommy Gibbons, son of the St. Paul battler, announced on behalf of the challenger: “My daddy is the finest man anywhere and can knock any one over the house.’’ Jack Kearns, speaking the sign language for the champion, held up two fingers —apparently meaning about that many rounds would see the end of the fight. Champ Not Worry ing While their supporters and promoters talked. Dempsey and Gibbons went in business-like fashion about preparing themselves for the fight. Dempsey is taking things so easily at Great Falls that some of his friends figure he is too confident and say he is taking the challenger too lightly. KID CYCLISTS TO HOLD RACE SATURDAY A. M.

IM&4 TTT) fey What is th© difference In scoring in medal and match play in sols? Have players the right to concede a putt in medal play? • In match play you win a hole if you make if in fewer strokes than your opponent Since tlie result is decided on the number of hole* won, tlie total score for your round is not important. It is not compulsory to play out h hole if you feel that you are certain to lo*r it. You can end/the play for that hole by simply conceding if to your nppi>nent. It is entirely different in uirdal play, where your scoring must he continuous from the tii-st" tee until the last green and you must have a score for every hole. A plaver has no right to concede a putt in medal piay, it being compulsory to sink the putt in every ca*e. • • • Getting- on th© green on his third shot the player making same discovers that his ball is lodged against the flagstick in the hole How should such a situation be handled? The flagstick must he carefully removed In order to permit ball to roll in. if the flagstick had prevented such a happening. If hail does not fall into the cup. it calls for another putt. If the- ball had dropped in when the tlagstick had been remo\ed it would have saved another strike). • * • Is it permissible to have someone stand at the hole to mark it for you? Is there any penalty if your ball strike© the person btajidiug at the hole marking it for you? A player has the right to have someone stand at the hole as a guide for his next shot. Usually the caddie docs this. If the hall strikes the person marking the hole, you lose the hole in match play anil are penalized two strike* in medal play.

INDIANS PERK UP AS TREY GO BIG AGAINSTJDLEDO Spirit of Team Improves as Result cf Sudden Winning Streak in East, By Times Special TOLEDO, June 21.—The Indians have been doing very well on their visit to the banks of the Maumee and they have two more games left to j lay here. The ambition of the team today was to give the Toledo Hens another pasting and keep the good work going. The Hendricksmen made it three straight over George Whitted's boys Wednesday by winning, 6 to 3, and the Wednesday victory Increased the Tribe’s winning streak to five straight. Maybe It’s the Heat And whoever would have thought the Indians would win five games without being checked? It's a fact nevertheless. Perhaps the Tribe is a ' warm-weather team, and if that be j true then Hendricks is willing for the weather man to turn loose all he has In the way of sizzling sunshine. In t{ie fraces Wednesday the Hens had a 3-to-0 lead until the sixth inning. but in that stanza the Hoosiers broke loose and scored six runs. Encouraged by that feat. Bill Burwell tightened and held the Hens off the remainder of the game. Three Hits for Christie Lloyd Christenbury led tto* way in the Tribe attack with a triple and two ringles. McOloughlin was knocked i rut of the box in the “big” inning and High Bedient finished for him. Oh. no, the Indians are not saying they’re going to pull a miracle and win the pennant, but their spirit is better now that they have had a winning streak and some of the old baseball ’’ambish" Is showing in their work.

There was weeping among Kansas City fans Wednesday. In the Blues’ own ball yard the St. Paul Saints annexed a doubleheader and pulled the Kaws out of Lh© American Association lead. Hall and Merritt were the winning twirlers and they were given air-tight support, not an error being committed by the Saints in the twin bill.

TO SCRAPS ON . CARD GD LIT Little Damage in Bi;rke-Wig-glns Main Event, Two bouts on the National .A. C. card at Tomlinson Hall Wednesday night went the limit of ten rounds and one ended In the fourth round. In the abbreviated contest Jack Ledeaux of Canada stopped Pinky Crosby of Franklin in the fo*urth session by a bombardment of rights and lefts to the jaw. The Canadian outweighed Crosby and had a longer reach. In the main event Chuck Wiggins of Indianapolis and Martin Burke of New Orleans sparred through ten rounds without indicting damage. Neither man displayed a “kick,” and 1 it was more of a boxing exhibition than a slugfest. which heavyweights usually indulge in. Fans who like good boxing enjoyed it. fans who prefer slugging to spari ring criticised it. Asa result there was a mixture of booes and applause after nearly every round. Burke was the better at long range and Wiggins the better at infighting. Due to the fact heavy blows were few, the go appeared about even, but I if a hair-line decision was made Burke had the edge. . In the prelim Bobbie Bridges, local welter, shaded Jack Sheppard of Cincinnati. He landed the more blows and boxed better. Sheppard depended on force, but didn't connect often and was not in good shape.
