mHE National Football Association now has twentyone cities in the fold in which games will be played this fall. They stretch across the country from Providence, R. 1., to Kansas City, Mo. At various times Indianapolis has been considered as a possibility by local grid enthusiasts, but nothing has ever come of it. Getting right down to facts, this city is not what is termed a good sport town. There are just so many people who will venture out. The percentage of persons in Indianapolis who own their own homes is high compared to the average. Having homes, the owners stay in them. This, no doubt, is a virtue to be praised. But it does not help sport promoters in the least. The great Speedway race on Memorial Day each year with its huge attendance is largely recruited from out-of-town sources. Baseball draws just the regular “customers,” and the same is true of boxing. It is impossible to match two nationally known boxers because of the inability to draw a “heavy” enough "gate” to meet the demands of the fighters. Basketball brings a few out of their shells an* college football •mes attract few more. Just lat most of the people are interested in is a problem. Sporting events do not seem to “get across” with the majority. Every one is interested in athletics and sport of some kind if they could be reached. The promoters probably are to blame for not selling their wares to the public. A live ware is wanted who can reach those who never vent uie out. Just how it can be done is the big problem. But it CAN be accomplished. And some day somebody is going to awaken the interest of the dormant ones. * * ® : ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY : o ••••;° Across the Board sorta stepped out on Monday, and for a while had visions of a bank roU mountinß up around the S9OO mark. The $lO wln-plaee-and-eliow parlay on Gunny Sack In the third at Coney ami Delco Light In the fifth tßswle $111.33 without the aid of the win “end.” Gunny Sack won at odds of 11 to 1. $l2O wag riding on Dtlco Light’s nose, but the best the “-year-old could do was finish second. Gunny Sack paid $11.30 for a $2 mutuel ticket to place and Sc. 9o to show. 857.30 place money and $34.50 show' went on to Delco Light. The latter horse paid $4.40 to place and $2.60 to show on $3 tickets. Across the Board, therefore, sot back for the place wager $136.50. and on the show wager $44.85. for a total of $171.33. Subtracting the S3O put up, left a winning margin of $141.35. The Pink roll now stands at $485.35. (Julte l comeback. We’re feeling better, lank you. Today we will stick at Coney Island. That track treated us pretty good on Monday. Were you out in the hall storm Monday evening? We will place $3. win. place and show, on ICE In the second at Coney. Onr parlay today will be $3 across the board on J. G. DENNY In the fourth and MUSICIAN in the fifth. * * * ’HE New York professional football team which has i—J been added to the National Association is to he managed by Billy Gibson, manager of Gene Tunney. There’s not a great deal of difference between fighting and football. On the grid there are eleven men in a free-for-all with a number of pads everywhere exiept the hands. In the ring there are two men without any pads anywhere except on the hands.

The question of whether a boxer can remain out of the ring for twenty months and then "coma back” will be settled tonight when Chuck Wiggins, after that length of time away from resin, will do battle in a scheduled tenround bout with Joe Lohman of Toledo at the fort arena. Chuck seems to be ready, but the real test does not come until he steps into the ring. It will not be known until then whether he can “take” hard punching, whether his "eye” has suffered, whether his timing has not been impaired by the long layoff. Perhaps in boxing more than any other sport the trained eye counts heavily. It is an interesting question that will be discussed with flying gloves tonight. * * * BtT - IF you want excitement go I to Cincinnati. Horse races I I are staged in the afternoon af Coney • Island and greyhound races in the evening at Erlanger Park. It might bf more appropriate if the hot dogs were in action at Coney Island. As yet there Is nothing for some of the checkered suit gentlemen to do in the morning hut sleep—which Is one of the best things they do in the morning, anyway. * * * It Ss probably a real disapp lintment to some folks to read the beginning of a headline, “Girl Shoots” and have it end up “Low Score.” The sensation loving public would rather have it a husband, at least, instead of a golf. * • • Every day in every way the Boston Americans are getting “worser” and "worser.” (By the way, where is old man Coue?) The Red Sox made five hits and five errors on Monday against St. Louis, which is just about the Beantown team's speed. Some of these days the club is going to drop right through the bottom of the American league. The percentage in the standing today was .290. * * * SHE Chicago National League club is tearing down the short left field bleachers. In a naive story from the Windy kCity it is staled that the opposing Blayers seem to find the range more often than the Cubs. Catcher Harnett has made the most of the short left field, but the others have not been very consistent in adjusting their sights. Down come the bleachers. Now if about half a dozen more major league clubs would do the same thing there would be more baseball games and fewer home run hitting contests.

CHANNEL IS TORN B Y VVJ N D Water Choppy and Rough as Jean Scion of France Attempts Swim. By Minot Saunders United Press Foreign Correspondent CAPE GRIS-NEZ, France, Aug. 4. —Hopeful of snatching from her American and Argentine rivals the honor of being the first woman to swim the English channel, Jean Scion, a French woman, began the attempt at 8:10 a. m. today.

Bu United Press CAPE GRIS-NEZ, France, Aug. 4,—Mine. Jean Scion, plucky French woman swimmer, was progressing satisfactorily today in her attempt to swim the English Channel.
