Firpo-Willard Winner to Get Chance With Victor of Today’s Shelby Affair

WIDE INTEREST SURE IN P NEXT HEAVY FEATURE a International Aspect to Bout July 12, When Kansas Giant Meets Big Luis From South America, By Timet Special NEW YORK, July 4.—With the Gibbons-Dempsey heavyweight title match on in Shelby, Mont., today, boxing fans of New York and New Jersey spent the Fourth reading the returns in sports extras and figuring ahead to the Luis Firpo-Jess Willard match in Jersey City July 12. King fans of the Metropolitan district predict the Firpo-Willard affair will outdo the Montana venture in international interest.

The winner, no doubt, will be sent against the victor of today's affair early In the fall or next July 4. Firpo and Willard are busily engaged in hard training for the July 12 scrap and bets are beginning to be made on the outcome of the battle between the huge Kansan and also huge South American. At first the odds favored Firpo by a good margin, but Tuesday bets began to show more of a tendency toward Willar.d although his backers are still asking short odds. Tex Rickard is promoting the bout and it will be held at Boyle’s Thirty Acres, where Dempsey cooled off Georges Carpentier in 1921. With the well-known Rickard punch behind it. the scrap is expected to draw a huge gate. Jim Jeffries, former heavyweight, of the world, has consented the Willard-Firpo tight, Tex announced Tuesday.

CLEVELAND GOI FOOLED DN DEAL FORFLAGSTEAD Cobb Sends Outfielder to Boston After Promising Him to Speaker, By SEA Service err.FlVF.l (( \hrn July A. —Tears ago the late president of the National League, in discussing a diamond dispute, coined an expression that will live in the world of sport forever, "Take nothing "for granted in baseball.” Every year countless things come up in the baseball world to verify Pulliam's sizeup Os the situation. In other words, in baseball you can’t figure on anything until it is all over land settled. Flagstead Deal is said that a bit of ill-feeling exists between the Cleveland and Detroit clubs as the outcome of the deal that sent Flagstead from Detroit to Boston. Cleveland wanted Flagstead, and to increase its chances.of getting him had gone out of its way in favor of Detroit on several player deals, so as not to clash with the Tiger management. It is reported that the Cleveland club had been ,assured that it could have Flagstead’ for the waiver price when the proper time arrived. Cleveland Out It so happened that the Indians got away to a flying start in the pennant race. The Tigers didn’t do so well. Ty Cobb naturally didn’t relish the success of his greatest rival, Tris Speaker. Cobb had no desire to further help the Indians. Flagstead might go big for Speaker and that would hurt still more. So instead of Cleveland getting Flagstead, he was traded to Boston for Outfielder Goebel, who was immediately sent to the minors, which merely proved the player was sent to a tailender rather than a club up in the race. "Take nothing for granted in baseball,” was sure a wise remark.

SHELBY VILLAGE PROUD DESPITE MANYSETBACKS Made Good on Fight Regardless of Discouragements and Losses to Boosters, By United Press SHELBY. Mont. .July 4.—Game little Shelby, just a cow town in the far Northwest, where "men are men” and there is not much else beside great open spaces, woke up this morning with a headache, a vacant feeling in the pocketbook and a bosom full of strangers and told the world that Shelby had made good. After weeks of anxiety and fast operation in finance, after watching its greatest ambition to become more 1 than a water stop and flag station |on the Great Northern, blossom and j fade and then bloom out into a crop, littie old Shelby stepped out this morning and proudly boasted: “Jack Dempsey and Tommy Gibbons are going to fight this afternoon for the heavyweight championship ” Cow punchers, oil drillers, miners I from Butte, where the streets are built with copper; tenderfeet from ; Chicago and the “far east” milled aroupd and shouted in voices tuned up by near-beer and more beverages, "the fight is on and we got a.seat.” The dance halls were crowded Tuesday night. The tables where the chips were stacked and where the “boney” were parked for the grabbing were going strong. The town was filled with “them agents,” as the cow-puncher called the dry men. Shelby rejoiced all night and came out this morning with a perfect jubilant “hang-over.” W Due to hard rain that ia falling and the sloppy condition of the turf. Smith s ball ia almost covered with mud as he addressee it for his second shot which he hopes will carry him on the green Has Smith the right to lift his bail and remove the mud prior to playing his second shot? The condition of the bail makes it seem certain that it will interfere with distance and direction. Mud on the ball is not considered as rendering the ball unfit for play. In match play you lose the hole If you cleun the mud from the ball prior to shooting. Tsoailv if the rain Is failing hard while a match is being played and the turf is In bad condition, the commutes- in charge makes a special rule, granting the players permission to remove the mud from the ball without suffering a penalty.

Scott Gives Pointers on Position

By EVERETT SCOTT Veteran N. Y. Yankee Shortstop ALWAYS play the ball; never let it play you. If you do, you are lost. Get the high bound. It is the easiest to handle and invariably leaves you in the best position for a hurried throw. Never play a stationary position. Shift your position with the style of pitch about to be used and the tendency of the batter to hit to certain fields. In touching a runner, always try to be in such a position that you can shift in order to adjust yourself to the runner's style of slide, thus greatly eliminating the chances of injury. This, of course, is not possible if the play is very close. Learn to Time Throws Save your arm. The history of most star ball players shows that at some

time in their career their arm goes bad. Save your arm by timing your throws to meet the speed of the base runner. Always play the game fair. An inflelder who resorts to unfair tactics to gain his point is merely courting constant danger. The Inflelder is at the mercy of the base runner, who. if he chooses, can easily go out of his way to inflict serious injury. When you make a misplay. immediately dismiss it. Don't allow the failurd to handle a ball properly affect your style. Go after the next one harder than ever, with the determination to wipe out the previous misplay. Call on your courage. Keep "Noodle” Working Anticipate your plays whenever possible. In a great many cases the score and the inning determine the way a play should be made. Give thought to these things and figure

TAYLOR AND SHEPPARD TO CLASH ON THURSDAY Bantam Bout Here Postponed Because of Chilly Showers. Bud Taylor and Johnny Sheppard weren’t nursing bruises today as they thought they would be.

Best Golfer Grins When Breaks Handicap Him By Mike Brady Western Open Champion THERE is no better time than in the beginning of one’s career as a golfer to learn to accept with equanimity the bad lies which come to everybody in this royal and ancient game. No one can become a real star in golf who doesn’t learn to accept the bad breaks along with the good and S either overcome the bad ones through a very fine shot or else make them cost as little as possible. As I once heard Francis Ouimet say: “Anybody who can play golf at all should be able to get away a good shot from a goo 4 lie, but it takes a real golfer to make a good shot There are a lot of golfers who can hit a long wooden shot, who can play a fine iron and who play a pretty good all-round game except brady when they get into trouble, but they don’t turn in low scores for the reason that they waste too many shots when they do encounter bad lies or get into bunkers. Frequently they waste a number of shots because they feel aggrieved over landing in a divot hole, or in a heelmark in a bunker, and slash away at the ball in a don’t-care manner. When you come right down to cases, a man who takes that attitude is next thing to a quitter. When the lie is bad, just try to take the viewpoint that every other player encounters similar circumstances somewhere and that if others escape from such troubles with a minimum of wasted strokes, so can you. .

the play you will make If the ball le hit to you. Always have a working agreement with your second baseman on every play, so that there is never a slipup as to who should cover. Nothing makes an inflelder look worse than to be out of position on a play. Try for every ball that Is hit in your territory. Never get the impression that it is impossible to moke a certain play. You can never tell what is liable to happen in baseball. Always try’ to play heads-up baseball. This is accomplished by using your “noodle,” which in baseball is slifiply another way of saving that your brain Is as essential to good play as the natural ability you pon.>c-. . Don't fight the umpire, fight the opposing team. Using the umpire as an alibi is a mighty poor way to cover up a mistake. When he is wrong tell him and forget it but when he is right, let him alone.

LOCAL GARS AND PILOTS IN RAGE AT KANSAS CITY Thirteen Entries in 250-Mile Event —Fast Time in. Trial Spins, By LINCOLN QUARBERG, United Press Staff Correspondent. SPEEDWAY, KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 4. —Thirteen speed kings of motordom survived the elimination tests and qualified for the championship 2"0-mile auto race scheduled to begin here at* 3 o’clock this^aftemoon. Under cloudy skies, which hung ominousjy over the board speedway, the veteran drivers raced their machines in final brief tests preliminary to the big event. Ready for Record 'fhe board oval, smoothed and improved for a record-breaking race, was pronounced lightning fast by both drivers and officials of the speedway.

Special he drove to victory in the Memorial day Speedway races at Indianapolis, attained a speed of 117 miles on one clrcnit of the board track. Earl Cooper, also driving an H. C. S., averaged more than 115 miles an hour in preliminary spins around the oval. Hearne, II art z Speedy Eddie Hearne and Harry Hartz, piloting a speedy pair of Durant Specials, indicated they would be dangerous contenders for a share of the championship purse when they speed around the board way at an average of better than 115 miles an hour. Ralph De Palma predicted he would be the first to finish the 260-mile grind. His speed in the trials was around 108 miles an hour. Large crowds flocked to the field early today, despite threatening weather.

HOLIDAY DOUBLE BILL, THEN TRIBE GOES WEST Indians Tangle With Colonels in Annual Cracker-Day Fea- < ture Before Departing for Kansas City, By Times Special LOUISVILLE,. July 4.—Every year the A. A. schedule makers see to it that the Indians and Colonels get together in Louisville for two games and they were to put on the usual jam this afternoon. Hoosier-Kentucky baseball rivalry is at its height every Fourth and today was no exception. *

Colonel fans were mad Tuesday night as a result of two successive defeats handed their favorites byJack Hendricks’ team, and they planned to turn out in large numbers at Parkway field today in an effort to cheer the home boys back on their feet. Indians Are Hustling You never can tell, though. The Tribesmen are playing hustling basebail, and coming from behind has been a habit with them recently. They didn’t fear Colonels or Colonel bats today, and were out to continue their upward movement. In the contest Tuesday the Indians were trailing 3 to 2 when the ninth Inning arrived. When the final frame was finished the Indians had the game, 4 to 3. How’s that for a finish? Whelan got on and singles by Burwell and Sicking produced the winning tallies. In the Louisville half of the ninth danger threatened for the YToosiers, but they pulled out of it. The Colonels filled the bases with only’ one out, but a fast double play, Sicking to Klrke, closed the fracas. The Indians leave here tonight and head for Kansas City, where they will open a series In the Blues’ new park Friday. Thursday is an off day for the Tribe. Other A. A. Gossip Bill Burwell hurled the Tribe win at Louisville Tuesday and he singled In the ninth and helped his team pull out. Tincup opposed him on the mound. Campbell has a bruised hand and It handicaps his play. Whelan played Spud's position in the ninth Tuesday, and he, too, was hurt. It certainly would be tough luck if the old Injury Jir.x begins camping on the Tribe trail again. The Blues opened their new park in Kansas City Tuesday and downed the Brewers before 12,000 fans! City and State prominents participated In the ceremonies. Charlie Hall whaled out a homer with two mates aboard in the ninth and the Saints nosed out the Millers. Association homers Tuesday: Terry’, Toledo, two; Hall, Saints; Grabowski, Millers. / • The Senators captured a free hitting contest from the Hens Tuesday’ in ten innings.

le^Hb| THE PLAT What constitutes a force play? The following rather simple play, which U constantly coming up, causes many disputes : Runners are on second and third and two men out. The runner on second leads off too far and is caught napping by a snap throw from the catcher. The runner on third dashes for the plate. The ball is thrown to the catcher, heading off the runner bound for the plate. The result is both runners are finally on third base. The catcher, rushing down to third base, touches the runner originally on that base with the ball. He then tosses the ball into the diamond The two runners then dash for the plate, and cross it in safety, since no one was covering, the catcher being on his way to the bench, believing the side has been retired. This play cams up in an American League game several years ago. What about itr THE INTERPRETATION Both runs counted. The catcher, under the impression that the runner on third was forced, when the runner came up from second, touched him with the ball for what he believed was the third out. He should have touched the runner who came up from second and was also standing on the bag. v. A base always belongs to the original occupant unless forced to vacate it. This was no force play, as the runner who had come up from second had the right to return to that base if he could. No force play can result in baseball, except that it begins by the batter becoming a base runner. EXTRA-INNING AFFAIR ENDED BY BABE’S HOMER NEW YORK. July 4.—Babe Ruth, first man up in the fifteenth inning of the second game of the New YorkWashlngton series Tuesday, smashed the first ball pitched Into the right field bleachers for his sixteenth homerun of the season, broke up a pitchers’ duel between Bush and Mogridge and put the Yankees on the long end of a 2-to-l score. It was the second circuit smash in two days for the Babe. The victory places the Yanks ten and a : ialf games in front of the Philadelphia Athletics, whose game with the Boston Red Sox Tuesday was washed away by rain.

Golf Open During recent years only twice has the winner of a national open golf championship finished with more than 300 strokes. It is a rather interesting fact that both of these tourneys were staged on Massachusetts courses, Brookline and Brae-Burn. Following are the winners of the past nine events and the scores: 1912—J. J. McDermott 294 1918 — Francis Ouimet 304 1914 Walter Hagen 290 1915 Jerome Travers 297 1916 Charles Evans 280 1917 —Not held—war. 1919 Walter Hagen 301 1920 Edward Ray 295 1921 Jim Barnes 280 1922 Gene Sarazen 288 A tie was registered in two of the years.

100-MILE RACE AT HOOSIER OVAL UP TOMER Drivers Were Ready and Hopes Were Held Out for Event to Be Held, It was up to the weather man today whether the Hoosier Motor Speedway race was to be held this afternoonThe management of the Speedway announced that if the sun came out the race could be held and elimination trials would be rushed through before the start. The track was muddy early, today and looked as though It needed plenty of sun to dry it. Saturday, If Rain Interferes If it is necessary to postpone the race it will be held next Saturday. I|i Tuesday's elimination trials a track record was broken when Chance Kinsey went a lap in 311-5 seconds. He was driving a Fronty-Ford designed by Louis Chevrolet. The former record was 331-5 seconds made last fall by Ralph Ormsby and Worth Schloeman. Two other cars qualified. Arthur Davidson in a Fronty-Ford and Charles Moorhead in an Essex sent their mounts around in fast time. Rain made further qualifications impossible Tuesday. All-Day Entertainment Racing fans were to be permitted at the track all day. The admission was good for the morning as well as afternoon, just so the spectators did not leave the grounds. Interurbans were to leave the terminal station at short intervals for the track. Motorists found the beat routes out Massachusetts Ave. or Thir-ty-Eighth St. Blvd.
