Jack Dempsey May Have to Take Chance on Gate for Remainder of Purse

TROUBLE BOBS UP •again AS TICKET COIN MS SLIM Some Fear Champ May Cause Legal Tangle—Prospects Poor for Challenger, BY HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. SHELBY, Mont., June 26—They haven't raised the third hundred thousand, enough to insure the DempseyGibbons championship battle, and from all indications the money is not in sight. Dan Tracy, manager of the big fight, admitted today he has not found the SIOO,OOO which he had hoped to deposit to the champion's credit today or tomorrow, and said that while he had "several strings out,” no deals have-been arranged. In response to an order calling in all tickets and money to enable the promoters to see where they stood, it is reported more tickets than money are coming back> May Be Up to Jack It begins to narrow to a question whether Dempsey will take a fWance of getting the third installnient of his money out of the gate receipts. Some of the dopesters think the champion will stand on his legal rights and claim the contract has been invalidated. Others insist public opinion will force the champion into the ring. As for Tommy Gibbons, the challenger stands not to receive a cent if the receipts don’t go over $310,000. But Tommy said he didn’t mind. Certain Boosters May Kick From late indications it appears the promoters will meet with some objections if they attempt to turn over SIOO,OOO of the ticket money to pay Dempsey his last SIOO,OOO before July 2, the date specified in the contract. Some Great Falls men who helped pay the second SIOO,OOO of the champion’s money on June 16 declare they are going to get their loans back before Dempsey gets any more, and seme of the Shelby office force think their salary should receive first consideration.

The losses dropped the A.s from first place to third in the standing and they are now three games back of the American Giants of Chicago, who occupy first place.

Johnny Kilbane Finds Heavyweight Champion Terrible as Ever

By JOHNNY KILBANE Former Featherweight Champion GREAT FALLS, Mont., June 26. That same terrible left sock, the blow that made Jack Dempsey famous and heavyweight champion of the world, is just as terrible as ever. And Jack is the same awful mauler who felled the huge Jess Willard so many times in the first round at Toledo. Even the experts at the ringside can’t agree just how many times it was. I saw that left hook break the jaw of a seven-foot giant from Oklahoma, a fellow r named "Wray, the first day I

TOLEDU FOLLOWS COLUMBUS UERE POR_FOUR DATS Final Fray With Senators This Afternoon Free to Women and Children, The Indians didn't win Monday—they didn't play! The well-known resumption of hosti'ities with the Columbus Senators was scheduled to occur at the ball yard this afternoon and the idea uppermost in the minds of the sprinting Tribesmen was to skid the visitors once more and extend the Indianapolis winning streak to ten games. This was free day for children of grade school age and women fans. The contest this afternoon closed the - series with the Senators, and Wednesday the Toledo Hens will invade Washington Park for four days. Other A. A. Gossip Rain knocked out the Monday conflict between the K. C. Blues and the league-leading Saints. Old Doc Ayers hurled the Millers to victory over the Brewers. Fisher collected four hits for the winnersBedient and Deberry engaged in a pitching duel at Louisville and the latter won in eleven innings.

Greatest of Maulers Before I came here, I read what a lot of experts on the scene had been writing about Dempsey. I was fully expecting to find the champion had slowed up a bit. But take it frqm he, he is the same old Jack Dempsey, greatest of ringmaulers of all times. He can’t pull his blows any more now than he used to. Those reports that he is not the

Inside Stuff! Johnny Kailbane, former featherweight champion of the world, was the first of the men of ring fame to get inside the Dempsey-Gibbons front line trenches. He’s visiting both training camps for NEA Service and The Indianapolis Times, writing expert opinions on conditions as be observes them. On this page today is presented liis first article. Johnny had a splendid chance to get the close-up dope on the champion right off the -bat, for as soon as he reached Dempsey’s camp, Manager Kearns asked him to referee Dempsey’s workout battles. Watch for Kilbane’s stories.

Mashie and Chip Help to Cut Down Scores

The mashie is in some respects the most important club in the bag, this also applying of course to the mashie niblick on shorter approaches. , The feet are closer together for this shot than for the wood and long irons, the stance more upright. The weight, I think, should be almost evenly distributed for the ordinary mashie, with tendency to rest a littie more on the right, all the way through the It is quite necessary to have the right shoulder under at the moment of hitting and to have the clubhead go straight out on th 6 line of flight, 'fv%(| without turning over. The simplest way tfr get this result is to see that the palm of your right Jj hand and knuckles of your left are facing the sky Mt at the finish of the stroke. In hitting at the ball it is almost as if you rWMMgfM intended driving it innto the earth, the lift of the bradt club attending to the task of getting the ball up. Many beginners and some old stagers frequently “smother” the ball, generally because they have failed to get their right shoulder under at the moment of impact. On the chip shots I favor carrying the weight of the body more on the left foot and using a light, but firm, wrist stroke, for a pitch and run. The mashie shot and the chip are great mediums for cutting down scores. Hence they are well worth all the time you give to their practice.

Bempsey of old are all wrong. He is in topnotch fighting trim right now. He’s ready to step right in and fight his best fight any time the gong rings. And he is doing the wise thing by not overdoing his training, taking it easy for a day or two and then sailing at high speed for a good stiff day’s workout. That’s the system that will keep him Just on edge up to the day he enters the ring with Gibbons. It Was Nearly Murder Say, that left hook connected with the chin of the giafit from Oklahoma so hard it would have been sure mur-

The baseball team representing the Mapleton Athletic Club formerly known as the Mapleton Reserves will hereafter be known as the Mapleton Ramblers, it was decided at a meeting of the Mapleton Club last night.

If he could use his right as well as he does his left, it would be sheer murder to let anybody get into the same ring With him.

Bobbie Bridges may have a task on his hands when he meets Earl Butler of Cincinnati In the semiwindup of eight rounds.

THE PLAY In a game of baseball with a runner on first base, and the ball is hit to the infield, is the runner on first forced to run. or has he the option of standing on the bag? If the runner elected to remain on the bate , and the ball was hit to the second baseman, who. Instead of making the play to sccoid as is customary for a doublo p'ay, threw the ball to first, retiring the batter, would the touching of the runner with toe bad while he was standing on that base, re the the original occupant of the bag? Must the runner on first attempt to advance on any hit to the infield, even ( the play is first made on the batter at first base? TOE INTERPRETATION A runner on first can always do as he pleases on a batted ball. He has a perfect right to remain on first base if he ro desires. But what would be the advantage in remaining on that base? It is baseball for him to try to advance, since it Is the desire of the batsman to reach first. Not to run would tie considered a "bonehead’' play. Failures to run offers greater poseibtlity for a doublo play and kills entirely his chances of reaching second, or perhaps even further 11 the vlsy Is not perfectly executed. If a play is first made on the batsman, retiring that player, then the runner on first is not forced to advance to make room lor the batsman. The batsman's retirement removes the force. The original occupant then retains the right to first base. Touching him while standing on that base, after the batsman has been put out at first would not retire him, as he retained tha right to the base and was exempt from being put out while standing on it.
