Shelby Cuts Loose With Wild Celebration as Big Heavy Title Scrap Is Saved

PEOPLE RUSH TO STREET, DANCE, PARADE AND YELL } APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT Visiting Easterners Join With Cowboys, Cowgirls and Oil Men in Barrage of Frantic Cheering Over Turn of Events, By United Prett SHELBY. Mont., July 3. —Shelby today greeted thfc magic words, “the fight is on.’’ with a western celebration that grew wilder every minute. Gloom and disappointment that has hovered Dver the place for days turned into cheering at sunrise and the greeting given Jack Kearns’ agreement assumed all the elements of a young riot.

t First word was received over press wires where a group of fight fans kept watch all night. As they flocked into the street a strange throne greeted them. They .411 Turned Out Gentle women from the East who came with their husbands to see the cowboys, the mountains and the fight; cowboys from the round-up and the wild west shows, and leather-jacketed oil men with girls in bungalow' aprons on their arms joined in the demonstration. the like of which Shelby has not known since the armistice. Shelby’s vest buttons hopped off today and the town is now bursting out over the prairie where the shake-down sleeping quarters are pitched in a schemeless village of plank houses with sail cloth roofs bearing such Jiames as ' Billy’s Cow Camp.’’ “Idaho ■nr.” and "The Knockout Hotel.” F The streets of Shelby swarmed with Indians with war regalia donned for show purposes at the round-up show behind a big stockade in the outskirts, with tourists, cowboys, oil riggers, resident business men. detectives, newspaper writers, bums, bootleggers and prohibition people. Mud caked automobiles struggled up the hills which form a huge tank with a five-mile radius and craked downward into Main St. in clouds of dust to halt at the curb and report in for tnt fight. Auto Tourists Near By Every train poured people onto the graveled platfrom and they strayed away toward lodgings everywhere. A telegram from Glacier National Park told of 100 autos being piloted to Shelby for the fight. A group of English merchant sailors, In their broadcloth uniforms, strained through the crowds, huddling together in amazement at the Wild West of their movie fancy. A lone American gob was seen An annex railroad station was brought in from a town seven miles away, having been cut in three sections and loaded on fiat cars from w'hicn it was eased to the ground in Shelby. Main Street is now lined with gimcrack carnival booths for the sale of pennants, peanuts, sandwiches, lemonade, penny-ante, jewelry and. other Coney Island truck.

$lO IS TOP PRICE IN FUTURE BOUTS AT POLOGROUNDS Gotham Promoters See Hand- j writing on Wall and Agree on Cut, By United Sevt NEW YORK, July 3.—The day of I big prices for championship fights is, a thing of the past, and $lO is the maximum admittance fee to be charged at bouts at the Polo Grounds ' hereafter. Tom O'Rourke, match- j maker, has announced. Boxers and managers have seen the j handwriting on the wall, according to 1 O'Rourke. Tex Rickard recently de-1 dared that a fight crowd of 90.000 will j never be seen again. Shelby the Example Shelby. Mont., is witness to financial difficulties attending promotion j of a heavyweight bout in which the! prices range from S2O to $l.O. O'Rourke’s announcement followed a consultation with Charles A. Stoneham, owner of the New York Giants, S and the directors of the Polo Grounds j Athletic Club. “This conference decided that the public has been milked and will not stand for it, and there are no two fighters worth the prices that have been charged to see them perform in the past.” O'Rourke said. $lO Top Price “I have consulted with the man- j agers of Eugene Criqui. Johnny Dundee. Johnny Wilson. Harry Greb and i Pancho Villa, all champions and ex- \ champions, who agree that the top price for championship matches should not exceed $lO. and that it would help the game more in the future if prices were lowered to this figure. "The climax has come, as the di rectors voted to make the top price in all championship matches $lO in the future at the Polo grounds. “Beginning July 26. the prices for the Criqui-Dundee contest will be $10.”

ifei Player drtvee ball into the thick branches of a rather short tree, the ball, however, still being beyond his reach. He shook tree mid played the ball from where It dropped. What is the penalty if any? In match play such an act would cause the loss of the hole and in medal play It would result In disqualification. • • • Playing in medal competition Smith drive* from tee and believes he has gone into rough. After looking for ball over five minutes Smith elects to regard ball as lost. He plays another ball from tee and after getting on green discovers his first ball which he elected to consider lost It so happened that th:- drive rom the tee with the first bal. was much better than his second effort. What is the proper procedure? Can the player go back and play his first ball or must he continue with the second? After failing to find a ball in five minutes the rules specify that it must be considered as lost. The player should then return as near as possible to the spot from which Ihe hall was played that was lost, and drop another ball. The player suffers a one stroke penalty. If lost hall was played from the teeing ground the player has the right to tee the ball for his next stroke. The player, after electing to consider the ball as lost, must hole out with the second hall. • • • In a four-ball contest Smith s ball is within about six inches of the cup. but it is not in line with Jones ball. Jones makes what appears to be a rather poor putt, but the ball hits Smith's ball and then caroms into the cup. Is there any penalty for hitting Smiths ball? Is Jones considered as having holed out? Thre is no penalty because Jones' hnll hit Smith's and Jones Is considered as having I oied out. BIG GAME ON JULY 4 FOR FRANKFORT FANS Xoblesrille to Furnish Opposition in Rivalry Tilt.

THEY say Jack Dempsey has a cinch—at least the dopesters do; Tom Gibbons hasn't got a chance, according to their view, But take a look in his'try's book and it will show you Occasions good and plenty where the under dogs came through. ONE time a Hebrew shepherd kid, not yet beyond his teens; Pulled out a little sling and drew a pebble from his jeans; Remember what a chortle rose from all those Philistines— They said Goliath had a cinch till David spilled the beans. WAY back when Father Time was young, old Artaxerxes’ hordes Opined that of this little earth they were the overlords; Thermopylae’s three hundred Greeks just bared their naked swords And there another lead-pipe cinch went by the boards. ONCE just because the British folks began to feel their oats A huge Armada sailed from Spain—the largest thing that floats; But Francis Drake, he gathered up some sassy little boats And where they figured on a cinch he got their Spanish goats. KING GEORGE with Hessian troops once sought our liberty to squash, But George the king he reckoned not on foxy Georgie Wash, Who crossed the icy Delaware—this was no idle josh— And thus another seeming cinch received the old kibosh.

All the Same to Dempsey

By WILSON ROSS NEA Fight Expert GREAT FALLS. Mont , July 3. I asked Jack Dempsey today what he thought of Tommy Gibbons' chances, ant\ Jack replied: “Well, he can hit hard. Otherwise he wouldn't have knocked out thirty-three men in his last thirtyseven fights, even though none of them was really tough. But I won’t fight him any differently from the way I fought Willard or any of the other heavyweights I have met and defeated.

Be Patient, Novices, You’ll Improve Some By Mike Brady— Western Open Champion

A LITTLE patience goes a long way toward the development of a good to fair game of golf. Many a man who has made a success at his business only through long years of study and application finally takes up golf, and imagines that all he needs do to become a good player is to take a few lessons from ——__ the home professional and then start out after a | course record. i He would laugh heartily, or scoff at the idea that anybody could come into his business and learn thoroughly in a few weeks what it took I him years to master, yet he doesn’t stop to think that it is just as fanciful for him to imagine that. golf is an open book for any and all comers. ** , Give the professional half a chance, by try- PWLfll-T----ing to grasp what he tells you, follow it up with -j serious practice and then if you don’t suefeed it is either a ease of your being a hopeless duffer or brady else the professional has not thoroughly diagnosed your case. No instructor is infallible, however, and it may be that where one expert has failed to improve a pupil’s game, another might immediately hit upon the “missing link” the moment he saw the embryo take a swing. So don’t get discouraged if your game is slow in coming along. Sometimes it happens that a man seems to be getting nowhere and then all of a sudden he finds the groove and advances with astonishing rapidity.

WHEN Bender, Coombs and Eddie Plank were idols of the fans And Mack’s Athletics made the rest all look like also-rans, Tn 1914 Boston’s Braves upset old Connie’s plans And knocked his famous hurlers for a row of garbage cans. JOHN HARVARD'S football team once sent a bid to Bo McMlUin To bring his prayin’ Colonels on to Cambridge for a killin’; “All right,” responded Centre's crew—that bunch was more than willin’And that is where the dope received another awful spillin’. GENE CRIQUI came across from France, a sacrificial lamb, And dopesters thought Kilbane had picked another fistic ham; The home-folks gathered there to see our Johnny’s kayo slam— But once again the dope went wrong—it wasn’t worth a nickel.

been practicing morning and afternoon for the race and elimination trials were to be held this after noon. The twelve machines showing the best time will .compete in Wednesday’s event.

“A fight is a fight to me. I don't see why I shouldn't hit Gibbons the same as I have hit all othe others. I saw him fight Harry Greb in that scrap in New York In which Greb won the decision. "But that fight didn't make me figure that I’d have to use any dis ferent tactics against Gibbons than 1 have used against anybody else. I am not figuring that I'm going to have a cinch in this fight, and I'm not predicting when I will win it, but I expect to keep my title."

INDIANS CAUSE CONCERN AMONG LOUISVILLE FANS Colonel Rooters Fear Old Rivals Mean to Prolong Upward Movement, By Timet Special LOUISVILLE, July 3.—Big hatted colonels of Kentucky were convinced today it doesn't pay to fool with that Indianapolis ball team and Louisville fans were urging their diamond athletes to step out this afternoon and put the check to the ambitious Tribesmen. Fans here have noted with some con cern the recent gradual upward move ment of the rival Hoosiers, but they were not convinced of much danger from the Hendricksmen until the Monday game at Parkway Park. The Colonels won Sunday, 4 to 1, but Indianapolis won Monday, 14 to 1. That fracas yesterday was the convincer. Gus Bono was on the mound for the Indians and he twirled a three-hit game, while his mates bombarded three Colonel flingers for twenty-two hits and fourteen runs. Singles, doubles, one triple and one smack for the circuit were among the wallops turned loose by the Tribe. Jay Kirke got an inside-the-park home run and for the slow-moving Jay to get a hit like that meant he certainly gave the pellet a long-distance smash. Campbell was the only Indian who did not hit safely and he was not In the contest long because of a bruised hand, Whelan taking his place. Pitch er Bono helped himself to three hits to round out his brilliant afternoon. 'Nother fight at St. Paul Monday. Berghammer of the Saints and Mellilo of the Brewers engaged in fisticuffs and other players did not intervene. The “John Laws” had to do it. Maybe Prez Hickey will take a run up that way some day and investigate. It was the second “jam” in successive days in the Saint park. The Saints have been getting away with about everything tried. The K. C. Blues outslugged the Mil lers again Monday and the Hens and Senators split a double bill.

X>y Duly h.vons THE I*LAY "Bone-headed - base running is responsible for many unusuaJ plays in baseball If the runner* made the proper play a lot of the technical points would never arise. Just listen to this one: The base* are filled, and one out, when the batsman hits a short fly to left field. The fielder is unable to make the catch The ball strikes close to the foul line, but is ruled a fair ball by the umpire. The runnrr on third crosses the plate on the hit. The runner on second goes half way to third, but thinks the ball is foul, turns and goes back to second. The runner on first, who was almost to second, sewing the runner start to second, started back to first. The ball was thrown to the third baseman. who steps on that bag. He throws to second baseman, who steps on that bag. When the two plays are made, there is a runner on second and two runners standing on first. What was the proper ruling on that play? THE INTERPRETATION Wheal the ball was thrown to the third baseman, who touched that bag, and then thrown to the second baseman, who, in turn, touched that base, a double play was made which retired the side. The runner on second was forced to advance to third on the hit. and when the ball was thrown to that base while he was still standing on second, the play simply resolved Itself into a forceout. When the ball was thrown to second base ahead of the runner, who was standing on first with the batsmen, it was simply a case of another forceout. Although the runner on third had scored before the play was made at third, making the second out of the inning, the run does not score The rules say a run cannot score on a play in which the third out is a force, as was the case here. Fighters Go Through Ropes By Timet Special NEWARK. N. J.. July 3.—The twelve-round bout here Monday night between Walker, welterweight champ, and Cowboy Padgett, ended in the eleventh round when both fighters fell through the ropes and two of Padgett's ribs were broken. After a knockdown Padgett rushed Walker to the ropes and both fighters tumbled from the ring into the press box. The fight was slow in the early rounds, but livened up toward the end. The Triangle A. C. desires a game for July 4. They hold a permit for Garfield Park. Call Drexel 3804 and ask for Bob.
