Stirrin: the DOPE By VEDDER QARD

WILD AND WOOLLY [Zlm >HE dislike of a large numI I I ber of local fight fanS fOC I * 1 clever boxing and other fine points of clever ring generalship seems to be growing with each succeeding fistic program, according to Captain Clark, Ft. Harrison matchmaker, who has watched the game for several years. “The time will soon arrive, said Clark last night, “when promoters will be compelled to arm their contestants with clubs or axes in order to satisfy this bloodthirsty element, who only get a kick when the sockers gkt into action and the rays of the ring light are crimsoned with a mist of gore.” The disciples of caveman ring tactics will come into their own Tuesday night, according to Clark, when Wildcat Johnny Simpson and Billy Showers are prodded out of their cages into the punch bowl arena./ \ The ten-round wind-up battle between the two will have little in common with a petting party, according to the Harrison promoter. Each of the bruisers relies almost wholly on a murderous sock, and the melee should | bulge with action as the two tough boys clash, hell-bent on putting over the poppy poke. Johnny Simpson is a unique figure in the American ring. He served time in the school of hard knocks in Texas, Oklahoma and Old Mexico. His freshman year in the boxing game saw him battling older ajid more experienced fighters in cowboy camps and border towns in the Lone Star State. His sophomore experiences were gained in a hellhole on the Mexican border, while he matriculated as a junior and eventually as a senior in Old Mexico, usually meeting boxers in their home towns and giving away as much as twenty pounds in order to get a match. His wonderful powers of resistance gained him the appellation of the “Texas Catcher,” but the term was used in a complimentary manner and not as we of the North are used to hearing it, for Johnny usually reversed “battery positions” during the course of a fight and started “pitching.” Simpson has been fighting for five years, meeting all comers, and has more than 125 scraps to his credit, more than a hundred of which are on the win side of the ledger. * * * That jnustfhave*been a difficult task for the French committee to select the Davis cup team to represent France. The four chosen were Borotra, Cochet, Lacoste and Brugnon. Are there any other I tennis players over there? We never heard of them, if there are. * * * Carmen Hill of the Indians looks like a mountain out there in the box. He Is having a great year. The spectacled one has pitched more innings than any other hurler in the American Association. According to the last averages he has struck out more men than any other hurler except Hollingsworth of the Millers. Hill has won thirteen games, being tied with Eddleman of Milwaukee for the greatest number of victories.

P a T XY ONE who takes Bill TIII A I den to five sets is a racquet I**! wielder of rare ability. Alfred H. Chapin did that very thing in the national clay court championships at Detroit last Saturday. Tilden won, 8-6, 6-4, 5-7, 2-6, 6-4. No doubt about that being a battle. This young Chapin, as we have been repeating, is a star—not because he has such a vast repertoire of strokes, but because he is a fighter and a remarkably accurate performer. For Chapin the net is made to shoo£ over..not into—‘the lines are made to stay inside, not outside. * * * L3ILLIAM will have to take \X/ a back seat ip the Weiss T family for a while. His thirteen-year-old sister, Virginia, Bbeat him Sunday in the Hoosier A. C. river swim. The little girl was ahead of most of the others, for that matter, when she finished third. • Her feat was quite remarkable. John Dithmer, the winner, made the distance of approximately three miles in fifty-one minutes. He is the Purdue swim team captain. . Virginia swam the distance in one hour, one minute. She got two silver cups and a silver medal to take home as souvenirs. One cup was for the first junior (15 years or under) gnishing and the other was the prize awarded the first woman finishing, and the other was the third place. \ * * * mIM MURRAY, veteran A. A. umpire, is wrong sometimes —who isn't? But we have a lot of respect for him. Nobody can accuse him of not having plenty of “guts.” He thought that ball Henryhit was foul, Sunday, and, although it brought in the tying riin for the home team, Jim waved back the runner. The sportsmanship of baseball fans is not of the highest order and Murray got plenty of razz and some cushions for the decision that really did look wrong. Probably he had it coming to him, but It doesn’t take a very brave person to throw a cushion from the shelter of a crowdMurray keeps the game moving. There is no doubt of that. Why the spectators should hop Jim because of his “Hurry ’em up” admonition is more than we can see. a He keeps the players right at it. ■The games are always snappy with veteran back of the plate. That’s what the fans want, but still they like to “ride” Murray. Such is life, Jim. Don’t mind it.

BERLENBACH-DELANEY BATTLE PROVES GREAT DRAWING CARD

SENATOR BATTLES CONTINUE Games Today and Tuesday Conclude Series —Good Week-End for Tribe. Two more games remain In the Columbus series, today and Tuesday. Today is “ladles” day” and “kids’ day and plenty of noise is expected at Washington Park If the Indians continue their winning ways. The Tribe annexed three battles from the Senators over the weekend, 6 to 3, Saturday, and 8 to 7 and 3 to 2 Sunday. The doubleheader Sunday supplied wild entertainment for 6,000 fans. Hill to Rescue The Bushmen gained a seven-run lead In the afternoon opener, but the visitors knocked out both Wisner and Thompson and tied ths score. Carmen Hill took up the hurling for the locals and held off the Columbus attack. Shanron scored in the'fifth and his run proved the victory tally. The pitching of Hill was the outstanding feature. He allowed only two hits and struck out six men in 5 1-3 innings. Byron Speece hurled great ball in the second conflict to beat George McQuillan, Senator manager. The Bushmen won in a sensational finish. Rehg started the ninth with a double, bis fourth hit of the fray and his seventh safety of the afternoon. Russell batted for Miller and lined to First'Baseman -Schliebner. It was a terrific clout, but it went straight into Schliebner’s glove. Rehg nearly was doubled off second on the drive. Munson went in to run for Rehg. Matty Banished Henry batted for Ainsmith and swatted the ball down the first base line. The ball hit the bag and Umpire Murray, ruled it foul. ' Matthews protested and was banished. Henry returned to the plate and fanned. Hartley batted for Speece and was safe when Schliebner dropped Connolly’s throw, Munson going to third. Sicking batted for Matthews and singled to center, scoring Munson and sending Hartley to third. Yoter lined the ball to left to score Hartley with the winning run. Little Elmer delivered in the big pinch. After the early innings Speece pitched big league ball. The run scored by the Senators in the fifth was unearned, au error sending it across. Ralph Miller, playing in Sicking’s place, turned in a fine fielding record for the double-header. The Tribe captain was out of action with a stiff neck, but he produced in spectacular style when called to bat for Matty in the final inning of the closing contest. ' Milwaukee, in second place, defeated the Saints in a double-header Sunday and the league-leading Colonels dropped a twin bill to the Toledo Hens.

.'I'HfS IN DiAN ATOLIS TIAIES.

The feeling that boxing history will be written when Berlenbach climbs into the ring to defend the world’s light heavyweight championship is certain to pack 40,000 or more fans into the Ebbets Field ball park. If that bandbox arena could accomodate 80,000, it probably would be filled to capacity. Although the friends of Humbert Fugazy,, Brooklyn promoter, congratulated him roundly when he captured the bout from Tex Rickard, it is unlikely that his profits will be sensational. $250,000 for Fighters "Yt is estimated that the fighters will draw at least $250,000, and promotion, rental of the field, State tax ard erection of temporary stands probably will cost SIOO,OOO more. Boxing fans believe that the bout may have some future bearing on the heavyweight situation. Although both men are 175-pounders, the winner may earn a bout with Harry Wills, since Fugazy Is making strenuous efforts to land a contract with the big Negro. Berlenbach long has made an open secret of the fact that he believes himself fully capable of meeting Dempsey, Tunney or Wills, and is risking his chances for future meetings with these heavyweights in Thursday night's affair. Betting Odds The betting continues in Delaney’s favor at odds of 11 to 10, but it would not be surprising if even money ruled on the night of the fight. Stock of the champion dwindled somewhat, *with rumors that he was overtrained, but he has three or four days more to dull any points that have become too fine In the training grind. Predictions of local boxing writers are divided. Os five who thus far have ventured an opinion three believe Delaney will win and the other two pick, Berlenbach to retain the championship.

Removal of Chill Blow to A. A.

Ollie Chill, generally rated the best umpire In minor league baseball, has been turned out of the American Association by President T. J. Hickey. Hickey declares Chill disobeyed orders by going to a forbidden hotel in Kansas City, one operated by Jack Haskell, former umpire. Ollie says he registered there because the hotel Hickey favored did not suit him. The Influence of Otto Borchert, Milwaukee owner, may be behind the removal of Chill and Minneapolis and St. Paul are complaining loudly over the matter. Chill accused Dave Danforth, Brewer southpaw; of tampering with the ball while pitching and Borchert protested to the league prexy. Danforth is a known "cheater” and has had trouble during mosC of his baseball career. When Milwaukee played at Minneapolis some tlpne ago Chill ordered Danforth to stop tampering end President Hickey made a hurried trip to that city. The removal of Chill is a blow to the league.

No Equal in the World of Golf

Bv United Press COLUMBUS. Ohio, July 12. “There Is no use holding this bloody tournament again until Jones gets too old to play or caves In his back toting that big iron kettle back to Atlanta.” Bobby Cruickshank, the tiny Scot, had this to offer after Bobby Jones came from behind to add the American open crown to the pile already on his youthful head in the tournament at Scioto course here. And his plaintive sentiment seemed fairly representative as the country's foremost golfers held their postmortems. Jones was conceded to have no equal in tho world of golf. Meanwhile a multitude of typewriters pounded pralde to the daring, courage and sportsmanship of the champion.* His drive for a birdie on the last hole, the stroke that won the title, will probably go down as one of the greatest in golf history. Scioto Club with Its hazardous course settled back to normal today after entertaining the largest galleries ever to witness a tournament. Most of the entrants have returned to their homes.

NO MORE GOLF FOR AWHILE ‘l’m Going Home and Get to Work/ Says Bobby Jones, Open Champion. Bu Times Special NEW YORK, July 12.—When Bobby Jones chucked his putter Into his golf bag and slapped his grinning caddy affectionately on the shoulder ns they strode off the’ eighteenth green at Scioto In the twilight Saturday afternoon, the new open rh&nv plon turned his back upon golf for some little time. “I’m going home and get to work ” said Bobby, who takes his sales business quite os seriously as his golf. The Georgia youngster probably will not play any ’’serious" golf until he gets ready to defend his amateur title at Baltusrol In September. If things had happened Just ope or two strokes differently at Scioto, and Joe Turnesa, the young New York Italian, had won the national open championship, there would be quite a different story to tell. One More Honor To a professional such as Turnesa, the championship would be worth at least $25,000 the first year. To Bobby Jones It Is Just one more honor. Jones fought the hardest, how ever, when the test came. Bobby started In at Scioto with a 70, two strokes under par, but on his second round. In Friday’j heat, the champion had one of the worst scores he has turned in for years, a 79. Never before In a national clmmplonshlp has Jones done worse than 78. Bobby was over-golfed. even though he wouldn't admit it. Hlfc campaign on tho linka of England and Scotland had taken something from him. If the Atlantan had been with- , in a few strokes of the leaders, or even of par. he would quite likely have been content to go along easily and perhaps someone might have beaten him out. For Bobby loves golf as a game, rather than as a means of winning honors. Calls Penally The new champion proved that when he called a penalty shot on himself at Scioto. He proved It again when he went out In the 'alternate rain and heat of Saturday, when nerves were frazzled and the strain was beginning to tell on everyone, and shot a ”1 In the morning, and followed with that, amazing 35 on the way home In the afternoon, for a 78. Just enough to win the championship. It was Bobby Jonee Vindicating his faith In his own golf rather than striving particularly to add the title of open champion to his already unprecedented list of honors.
