\ITRRIN’ the DOPE

By VEDDER GARD

■"■|XE is tempted to wonder Ojust what the Illinois box- |___ Ins commission wopld have done if Rickard had cqmpleted all plans for the Dempsey-Tunney fight in Chicago? The commission did not put forth its edict against heavyweight battles in Illinois until AFTER Tex went back to New York. The boxing body had a week to say something BEFORE plans of Rickard fell through, but was as silent as a clam. * * * Atlolfo Luqua has something to write to Cuba about. In his victory for the Reds over Brooklyn Wednesday not a Cincy outfielder had a put-out. Luque trimmed the wings of the Robins so they couldn't fly. * * * Shortstop Emmer, who was traded to Minneapolis wanted to show his major league bosses what a mistake they had made, so in his last big league game he shone brilliantly in the field. He made two wonderful catches of would-be “Texas-leaguers" and handled hard bounders in fine style. In his farewell appearance at the plate he singled. The former Coast League star may regain his confidence in the American Association and prove a real star with the Millers. * * * If you want a thrill go out to the Negro 100-mile auto/ race at the State fairground on Aug. 7, m. The drivers have never heard of two words—conservative and careful. * • • The putt is the thing. „ Jack Bruggeman of Ft. Wayne is the State junior golf champ, because he sank some long ones Wednesday. A golfer who expects to win never should attempt an imitation, Os a motor beat —putt, putt, putt, putt. * * • Take your choice. There are three tennis tourneys going on in this city at the present time. Riverside, Irvington and city junior. The tennis bug is biting. There is an epidemic here. * * * TANARUS" T IE noble Redskins are getting quite a bit of publicity lately in baseball. ’Ae Indianapolis Indians are battling for the lead in the A. A.; the Cleveland Indians are playing fine ball and are in second place in the American League; the Boston Braves are causing a mild flurry by a winning streak suddenly developed at the expense of Cincy and the Cubs, two clubs far above them in the National League standing. * * * Remember Quatrain —the horse you lost your jjough on in the 1925 Kentucky Derby? He is likely to take another fall or two. The horse has been developed into a steeple chaser and will race over the obstacles at Saratoga. It is said the thorough-bi-ed shows promise in the,new field of endeavor. * * * N r_ . 'IEVER again will an athlete of Emerson High School of l___J Gary wear the number 10 on his jersey. That was the number of Joe Shay, all-round star, who drowned in Lake Michigan Tuesday when his canoe tipped over about a half-mile from shore. For the past two years No. 10 has flashed across the gridirons and basketball courts of northern Indiana, a constant menace to all opposition. In honor of Shay’s memory school officials have announced that number 10 never will be used again. That belongs to Shay—and he has taken it with him.

CHAMPION DEMPSEY GIVES VIEWS ON FIGHT WITH TUNNEY,,

BREWERS BACK IN A. A. LEAD Milwaukee Knocks Off Louisville and Blues SpillIndians —Burwell Due. Home brew pennant stock took a jump Wednesday as the Milwaukee Brewers slammed the Louisville Colonels, 7 to 0, and the K. C. Blues grabbed the series opener from the Indians, 3 to 1. The Brewers climbed oVer the Colonels to capture the A. A. lead by one-half game and increased the margin over the Bushmen,by a full game. The situation, today, therefore, showed the Indians three games behind Milwaukee and two and onehalf games back of the Colonels. Bill Burwell was slated to hurl for the Tribesmen today in the second fracas of the series with the Kaws. Injuries are handicapping the Bushmen as they battle to stay In the race and they need plenty of encouragement if they are to keep their heads up. Shannon, Hartley and Fisher were out of action, Wednesday and Holke, and Sicking played when a rest would have been more to their liking. Holke has an injured foot and Sicking is bothered by a lame arm. Tom Sheehan was given brilliant support Wednesday and he pulled out with a victory over the unlucky Dutch Henry. The only run scored by the locals was drive n in by the Tribe southpaw hurler. His mates couldn't produce In the pinch, and added to that, sparkling fielding plays by the Blues wete made the few times the Indians threatened to rally. AROUND THE A. A. The Indians got seven hits Wednesday and the Blues, six. But the K. C. batters insetted some extra base smacks and they also drew six walks. If the Tribesmen ever strike a lucky streak, there’s no telling how fast they’ll go. Slight miscues have dumped them more than once this season. Grigsby pulled an amazing catch In the third Inning, Wednesday, that chilled the Tribe. Ainsmith was on second when Matthews drove to left-center. Grigsby sprinted over and snared the hall with a running back-handed catch. In the seventh stanza, Smith, at third, made a startling stop of Henry's skipper and stopped another Tribe threat. Ainsmith poked two of the Indians’ seven hits. Pick drove in the three K. C. runs with a double in the first, with a triple in the third and on an out in the seventh. Umpires for this series are Derr and Magerkurth. Sheehan, who twirled for the Blues Wednesday, is the same Sheehan who won thirty-one games for St. Paul in 1923. He shares the league record with Tom Hughes, who won the same number for Minneapolis in 1910. Milwaukee will be here for a dou-ble-header Sunday and “layaway” tickets for that date will not be held later than Saturday afternoon.' The demand for seats is too heavy for the Tribe club officials to hold tickets until the day of action. Citizen soldiers camped at Ft. Benjamin Harrison were to be guests of Vice President William C. Smith, Jr., at today’s battle between Indians and Blues. Friday will be “ladies’ day’’ and “kids’ day.’’ Charlio Robertson held the Colonels to three hits Wednesday and the victory was easy for Milwaukee. Strohm of the Brewers collected a triple and two doubles off Joe Dawson. And the tail-end Senators downed the Millers. Har.k Oowdy, former Columbus manager, .was welcomed by Senator fans aiju several gifts were handed him. Nemo Lelbold solved Miller pitching for five singles. Nick Cullop, .Saint outfielder, helped defeat the Hens with a triple and double. Ray Kolp kept Toledo hits scattered. Shortstop Ford of the Millers has gone to ihe Cincy Reds irt' a trade for Shortstop Emmer and Hudgens, rookie first sacker. Emmer becomes Miller property, but Cincy holds a string on Hudgens.

The Ash Pile By Eddie Ticket prices for the *TunneyDempsey fight will range from SSO to $3, A long range telescope will be needed to see from the "three buck” seats. Baseball pool ticket merchants partake of big steaks and fried chicken while tile chance takers patronize the bean shops. As his own manager, Jack Dempsey is proving a flop. He even “went for” a ten dollar binder. It would help some if that hurricane blew away a few of the sub--divisions on the Tamiami Trail. Man 0’ War knew his oats when lie sent Crusader out into the world. In outrunning Carlaris, Crusader looked like a chip off the old hoof. Bill Tilden’s return to the stage the middle of August wilj keep him out of a number of important tennis tournaments. That move will be a blow to both tennis and dramatics. t Pitcher Ruffing of the Red Sox was rough on the slugging Tigers WadtuNGtay. • 'am to tour hits. _ _

Jack Tells Farrell Fighting Heart and Two-Handed Punching Will Win. Henry L. Farrell, sports editor of the United Press, presents herewith the first of two interviews—one with Jack Dempsey and the other with Gene Tunney—wherein the fighters, now matched for a world’s championship tiffht Sept. 18 in New York City, set fortn what they believe will be the deciding factor in their bout. The carried on by wire, find both of the boys rarin’ to go and confident of winning. Champion Jack Dempsey speaks his piece first. Friday Gene Tunney'will be introduced. By Henry L. Farrell I Copvriolit, 1926, by United Frets NEW YORK. July '29— It’s the fighting heart —and the punch in both “hands —that will win the fight between Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney, in the opinion of the .big .champion. Talking back and forth over the wires with the writer, Jack set this down as his answer to “what will be the determining factor in the battle set for Sept. 16 in New York City?” “And are both of the old mitts working's they used to?" we asked him. “They are,” the champ replied. “While I consider myself an ‘A-No. 1’ boxer,” he explained, “I do not believe this Is a deciding factor In a championship contest such as we are about to stage. Principal Factors “The principal factors of any heavyweight fight are durability, a punch in both hands and a fighting heart. “My past record proves\l have all of these.” “And how about your condition—after the long layoff?” wo asked him. “I can say absolutely?” he responded, “that I am In the best condition I have been In five years.” “When dp you leave and what are your training plans?” was the next question. “I will arrive In New York Aug. 3 and spend a few days there. Then I will go directly to my training camp at Sarrtdga Springs. Captain Mabbott and Floyd Fitzsimmons have arranged for all my training partners.” Logical Contender In response to further Inquiry regarding whether Tunney was the man most entitled to the g 6, Dempsey replied: “I consider Tunney the logical contender—and If he' gets In good condition I promise the fans an Interesting fight.” “How about the wife? Will she be here for the fight?” “Mrs. Dempsey will be my companion at the camp until Aug. 20.” he replied. “After which she will have to leave because she must be in Hollywood to take up her new contract with the Feature Productions, Inc., which will be occupying her time when the fight is held.” The champ did not say what weight he expected to make for the fight. He now tips something over 200 pounds. Y. M. S. STRENGTHEN The Y. M. S, team has strengthened its line-up with the addition of Nan Schott and Bill Snyder, widely known In semi-pro circles. The "*• M.

Followers of Happy Atherton, local bantam, are going to see their favorite mix with a worthy foe at Ft. Harrison next Tuesday night. Midget Mike O’Dowd, Columbus. Ohio, is the lad picked to battle Happy over the ten-round route. O’Dowd beat Atherton at Tomlinson Hall during the indoor fistic season, but" in a recent fight at Harrison, opinion was divided on the outcome. In fact three decisions were given, one favoring Happy, one O’Dowd and one a draw. Atherton displayed marked improvement in that scrap and he hopes to best his Buckeye opponent decisively Tuesday.

Miss Wills Shows Old Skill Bu United Press EASTHAM, N. Y„ July 29.—Rain caused a postponement of the morning matches today in the Maidstone tournament, in which Miss Helen Wills, national tennis champion, is makeing her return to the courts following her operation in Paris. Pitted against Mrs. Edward Raymond of New York in the first round Wednesday, the national .vomen’s singles champion had little trouble winning in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4. Had Helen felt it necessary to extend herself, Mrs. Raymond would ■not have scored a game. Certainly Helen’s performance on Wenesday left little room for dbupt that she son would be her old unbeatable self again. On the few occasions when she was called upon to extend herself, the Rational champion displayed a fleetrtess of foot and accuracy of stroking reminiscent of the past few years when she triumphed at Forest Hills. What was most important to her admirers and to Helen, she left the court feeling no touch of exhaustion such as might have been expected. Tennis experts, and there were plenty present to watch her play on Wednesday, predicted that she certainly would be national champion again this year. Puzzling Plays By Billy Evans How is it possible for a pitcher to be tuken out of the box and then returned to his position as piteher? • * * If a manager, for some reason desires to substitute a piteher against a certain batsman and then revert to his original pitching selection, he may do so by simply shifting the pitcher to some other position while the substitute pitcher js performing. In other words, a player may play in more than one position, in fact as many positions as desired, provided he does not leave She game. Recently in the raajors, a manager sent his right-handed pitcher to right field, while he used a southpaw against a lefthanded batter and then put the righthander baog in the box after the southpaw -had disposed of the batsman.
