Sll!llllllira!llll!ll TIRRIN 7 the DOPE By VEDDBR GARD

u V7 |E hate to mention the fact |\)y| because it may call atten- | - ~ | tion to something nobody la thinking about yet. Still, the matter of which we speak is better settled at once than to wait until a few days before the bout is to be held. There, it’s out. What we are trying to say is that before Floyd Fitzsimmons up at Michigan City goes very far with the I)empsey-Greb plans he had better find out what the Governor of Indiana thinks about it. Dempsey once before tried to fight in Hoosierdom when Governor McCray was at the head of things. You all know what happened. It is likely to happen again. There is no doubt but that a Dempsey-Greb setto would pack ’em in. It would be a battle. The drawback to the whole affair is a State law against prize fighting. It seems as though heavyweight champs are not considered boxers. They are fighters. Which may come pretty close to the truth at times. Greb appeared in an Indianapolis ring. But if he is matched to meet Dempsey it will be a different affair. Just where the delicate distinction is made is rather to understand. The minds public officials are unfathomable in some instances, not because of the depth, but because of the cross currents. We hope that the promoter’s plans are not allowed to go on until a few days before the battle and then official taboo suddenly spring from clear air. If the bout is thought to be within the law let the fact be known. If it is to be frowned upon also let that be known. * * * EWO of ihe worst clubs In the major leagues knocked the two leaders out of their top berths on Thursday. The Braves broke even with the Giants In a double bill, thus putting the Pirates back on top. Pittsourgh ('efeated St Louis. The. much maligned Yankees downed Washington, while Philadelphia was nosing out a victory over the Boston Red Sox. All of which means it is necessary to bring out the diamond bromide once again—You never can tell in baseball. • * • o ' : ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY o c Both horses won on Thursday and the bank roll came back to tvithin 75 rents of the original SSOO total. A “short price” on Allaghan kept us from going over the top. The winnings on Quick T.unch and Alleghan were $lB. The on hand is $409.25. we put $5 on Elizabeth K to in the third at Hawthorne. At Coney Island $lO goes on Nayarit to win in the fourth and the same amount on Eight Sixty in the sixth race. See you on Saturday with more or less money. NE can not help but notice some rather queer u___J bouts in New York. The surprising knockout of Slattery by Shade is followed immediately by Rosenberg’s amazing power against Shea. Where Phil got all that punch so suddenly is one of those mysteries of the ring that are so strange they are “queer.” Shea, no doubt, weakened himself by getting down to the 118pound limit, but the extra day he had because of the postponement should have enabled him to enter the ring in pretty good condition, * • * mACK HENDRICKS of the Cincy Reds was in this city on Thursday while his club was en route to Chicago where it plays the Cubs today and Saturday. Jack apparently was in a cheerful mood. He is somewhat tickled over the New York series and says thd Reds should have had all three games. In the last game dropped to the Gotham club by a ninth inning rally Rixey had two strikes on Frisch and two men out. Frisch’s triple was in reality a single which played badly. •tfifThe manager of the Reds can his team no lower than third place at the season’s close. Holke, who was secured from Philadelphia by the waiver route, is playing fine ball at first base and will continue in that position, displacing Niehaus. Rube Bressler will be used in the outfield. • * * rjr-IUZANNE LENGLEN is I U I greatest woman tenI 1 nis player in the world. We have never seen her. But we have a lot of faith in what tennis experts say about her game. We would like to say the same thing about Helen Wills, a daughter of California and the U. S. A., but being exceptionally honest today we just have to admit the Frenchwoman's superiority. Johnny Hennessey is a level headed youth. He didn’t say Suzanne was the" He- >. but he was mightily impressed ,by the tempera-menial continental player’s wonderful game at Wimbledon. Let’s just be honest and admit we like Helen better, but grudgingly give Suzanne the edge on the courts. This is a very unpopular thing to say. Unpleasant memories remain of some of Mme. Langlen’s seemingly unsportsmanlike actions. But, as we said before, nothing •tit the truth today, in spite of very thing. • * * The height of something hr other has been reached.

HELEN WILLS PLAYING BEST GAME OF CAREER California Girl Adds Chop Stroke to Repertoire—Appears a Cinch to Retain National Title. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 24.—Helen Wills is playing better tennis than she ever did. Her game is better, stronger and so much improved that she is a cinch for the championship in the opinion of those who have been watching early tournament competition.

Miss Wills has added a chop stroke to her game and has been using Jit most effectively to draw her opponents in from the base line and crossing them with a powerful forearm stroke. Constant practice with male opponents has made her game even stronger and virile than, it was last year, and it seems to have given her new faith in herself, although she always had plenty of confidence. Because of the belief that she -was going to make a serious attempt to come back and win her title back, Mrs. Molla Mallory, seven times singles champion, has been attracting attention in her early matches. She was defeated yesterday in the Manchester tournament by Miss Mary K. Browne, former champion, and the second ranking player. It would not seem from this that Mrs. Mallory has reorganized her game. With Miss Wills and Miss Browne playing as they are, and with Mrs. Mallory, Mrs. Bundy, Mrs. Jessup and Miss Eleanor Goss to call upon it, looks as if the American team will run away with the Wightman

Did Shea Flop to Champion?

Was there something "screwy” about that world's bantam title bout in New York, Thursday night? Rosenberg, champion, knocked out Eddie Shea, challenger, in the fourth round. Early dope on tne affair said betting was qbout even.* However, in Indianapolis Thursday afternoon it was rumored Shea was slated to take the count after being knocked down three or four times. And that’s what happened! Whispers were heard similar to the whispers during the world's baseball series of 1919, when the White Sox flopped to the Reds. False reports often are~ sent out preceding sport events on which much money is wagered, but the “last word” advance “info” on the Shea-Rosenberg scrap circulated in Indianapolis evidently was founded on fact or was a smart guess. S. S. LEAGUE TWIN BILL Two Amateur Contests Scheduled at Pennsy Park Saturday. Two interesting Marion County Sunday School League games will be played at Pennsy Park Saturday afternoon. In the first encounter the Seventh Christian and Broadway M. E. nines will clash at 2 o’clock and in the second battle Tuxedo Baptists and First Baptists will meet. Much rivalry exists between the te,*ns and followers are expecting to see red hot baseball.

Three Deliver Bu \PA Service B'IOSTON, July 24.—Speaking of pinch hitters, the i___j Boston Braves certainly had some success with them in a game against the Cardinals recently. Going into the last half of the ninth five runs behind Manager Bancroft injected three pinch clubbers into the activities, Gibson, Neis and Mann being the trio. All of them came through with safeties, Gibson slashing out a triple. The result was that the Braves counted four runs, two brilliant stops by Bell preventing the locals .from grabbing the game.

Washington Park Indianapolis Vs. Louisville July 24, 25, 26—Gaines 3 P. M. Friday Ladies’ and Kids’ Day

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Louisville’s Tremendous Lead Fails to Kill Interest- in Clash of Ancient League Rivals. Despite'the enormous league lead piled up by the Louisville Colonels the old rivalry existing between the Kentuckians and Indians has cropped out and the series starting at Washington Park this afternoon is expected to see large crowds and plenty of excitement.

Joe McCarthy's pastimers practically are cocksure of the A. A. pennant, but they refuse to let down and hope to give the Tribesmen a sound trimming. The Hoosiers have not been easy for the crack Louisville team this season and in twelve battles between the clubs the Bushmen have finished on the long end of the score seven times. The series opening today calls for three games and if the Indians can knock off their natural rivals in one of the first two conflicts the park is expected to be packed Sunday, when 1,500 Louisville fans will be present in an effort to howl down Tribe supporters. Today was both "ladies' day” and “kids’ day,” and park officials were prepared to handle a large crowd. It was thought Bill Burwell would be sent to the box by Manager Bush and Deberry by Manager McCarthy. Six teams were idle in the American Association Thursday, Minneapolis and St. Paul engaging in the only cofhbat. Bob McGraw, ace of the Millers’ pitching staff, was defeated by Beall of the Saints at St. Paul, 4 to 1. The Millers got only four hits and the Saints six. MfiGraw had turned in ten straight victories previous to Thursday.
