Maybe Bill’s theatrical endeavors did not cause his slump on the courts, but many believe it was the direct reason.

Puzzling Plays ' ■" By Billy Evans I* It pMrmlntlbJk for hr pltohrr to net on tho rubber without having the ball In hi* poHfstlon? * * * Until 1920 It was permissible for the pitcher to get on the rubber without having the ball In his possession, provided he made no motion to deliver it to the batsman. This waa a bad rule, ainee it paved the ■wav for deception and gave the runner no standard to judge as to who had the ball. Since the rubber Is to pitch from, it was taken for granted that the moment the pitcher got on the rubber he had the ball and was ready to pitch. That is the thought now in force. It is a guide to the baserunner. It is a balk now if the pitcher gets on the rubber without the ball. Chicago Boxing Bu Vnttril Press CHICAGO, Aug. .11. —Two world's champions are scheduled to appear on the same bill here Friday night at Cubs’ baseball park In an all-star boxing program.

‘TEX’ BELIEVES DEMPSEY-TUNNEY FIGHT VIRTUALLY ASSURED

“Few Little Things” to Be Arranged Includes License ior Champion, but Rickard Is Not Worrying. By Henry L. Farrell United Pre* Btaff Corrrsnondent NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—As soon as a “few little things are ironed out” Tex Rickard can open his box office and start selling tickets for the heavyweight championship fight between Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney in Ihe Yankee Stadium on Sept. 16.

Officially, as far as the New York license committee Is concerned, the fight Is not on, but it is not off. Dempsey has not been denied a license to fight in New York. Action on his application for a license was not taken Tuesday by the committee. It was merely deferred. ‘‘There are a few things to be worked out —Utile things—but everything is alright," Rickard said today. The little things to be worked out are merely in the process of getting a license for Dempsey to fight in New York. Tunney was granted his license Tuesday. “Cards on Table” Dempsey, with Gene Normile, busiriess representative, and Arthur F. Driscoll, attorney, went to the offices of the boxing commission today and "put his cards on the table ” The heavyweight champion told Bert Stand, secretary of the commission, that he had signed no less than three contracts to fight Harry Wills, Negro challenger, none of which “took." • Dempsey then went to the offices of Tex Rickard, the promoter, to ask if he might leave the city tonight for his training camp near Saratoga Springs. Commissioner George Brower to day announced that the boxing commission would hold a special session Thursday morning at 10:30. He said the license committee had been invited to attend the session. To Fight “Some One" To get a license, according to” Col. John Phelan, chairman of the license committee, Dempsey must sign a contract to fight “someone" in accordance with the rules and regulations of the New York Boxing Commission."! The “someone" mentioned, Colonel Phelan pointed out, doesn’t mean any particular person, and he added a significant remark when he said —“the license committee (considers that Dempsey accepted the challenge of Harry Wills when he signed a contract with Floyd Fitz-1 simmons in Niles, Mich., last September.” Muldoon Suggests Muldoon suggested to Rickard that he bring before the commission a contract signed by Dempsey and Tunney. “The commission." Muldoon said, “will again approve of the match and the license committee will then have no grounds to refuse a license. As soon as the contract is filed in this office, the fighters can start training.” Rickard pointed out that the rules forbid a promoter to sign a contract with an unlicensed boxer, and Muldoon said, “Everything will work out all right.” Rickard said he would get the contract drawn and file it with the commission as soon as possible. Tex's Proposition Rickard, it was learned today, plans to have Tunney sign the contract and take Dempsey before the committee with this proposition: "Dempsey hasn't a license and can't get one until he signs a contract. He can't sign the contract

until he gets a license, but he is here to accept this contract verbally,” Dempsey will then verbally accept the contract, will accept a license verbally, will sign the license and the contract and —the fight will be on. | The Ash Pile By Eddie Gene Normile, Jack Dempsey’s “business representative,” has been granted a permit to act as a second by the New Y'ork biff commish. That means more commotion. .Seems as though the Milwaukee Brrwei** will have to use some more influence with Prexy Hickey if they are to head off the Colonels. There is a suspicion, however, that Louisville can throw as much league political poison as Milwaukee. Western golfer found his lost ball resting on a rattlesnake. Maybe the pellet was trying nature's way as an act of self-defense. The majority of young boxers who start professional ring careers as "K. O." Smith or “K. O." Jones, usually wind up as Smith or Jones k. o. Bathing beauty contests are in full swing over the land. See Miss America first! The English Channel is being cluttered up with "also rans."

THERE’S Something very solid and substantial about Prince Albert. Dependable ... as a good friend should be. Uniformly mild and mellow. It always tastes the same—which means that it always tastes great! The reason for all this is the excellent quality of the tobacco. Prince Albert quality has made this one brand the most popular among pipelovers; has earned for it the title of the National Joy Smoke. Get yourself a tidy red tin of P. A. today at the nearest P. A.-sunshine shop and know for yourself what a grand and glorious smoke it is.

FAILURE FOR PAIR IN SWIM Perrault and Mme. Sion Forced to Give Up Channel Attempts. Bu United Pres CAPE GRIS NEZ. France, Aug. 11.—Two more swimmers, a man and a woman,' today failed to emulate Gertrude Ederle’s feat in swimming the English Channel. They were Omer Perrault, a French-Cana-dlan. and Mme. Sion, a French woman. Since Gertrude set anew mark for speed across the channel Friday, four swimmers have failed over the isame course. Perrault and Mme. Sion returned to Calais at 6 a. m. today aboard their tug. They abandoned their efforts at about 3 a. m., probably owing to bad weather, after having been in the water about five hours. The swimmers entered the water together at Cape Gris Nez at 10:05 p. m. Tuesday. At midnight they were only three miles out, amid troublesome currents, with conditions becoming worse. Perrault is a powerful, speedy swimmer. In 1923 he attempted the channel swim and was beaten by rough water. While he was lying in the cabin of a small tug, exhausted. an explosion occurred aboard ship arc' the fire ignited a laige pot of gasoline which was being used to remove the grease from his body. Perrault was terribly burned. Mme. Sion, the foremost French woman distance swimmer, is a mature woman in her early forties. She swims with a breast stroke, slowly but steadily. Until Miss Ederle conquered the channel Friday, Mnif Sion had established the best record for women by staying in the water sixteen and one-half hours in 1923. She has been trying to swim the channel ever since the war. BARBARIAN BACK Bu United Pre* / DETROIT, Aug. 11—Sid Barbarian, former prominent lightweight contender, who has been in virtual retirement for six months, has announced his return to the division. Sid's attempt in the welterweight class flopped.

The very first pull will tell you that Prince Albert was made for you. Cool, as a breeze off the water is cooL Sweet, with the uncloying sweetness of sunripened fruit. Fragrant, as flowers are fragrant. Fragrant in the tin and fragrant in the bowl of your pipe. Men who thought they were all set oil smokes have tried Prince Albert and become converts from the very first puff. There’s a bare possibility that you have been fooling yourself. The pleasure you’ll get from a jimmy-pipe and P. A. will top any you think you’re getting now!

RYCHELL TO MEET FORBES In Main Go at Fort Next Week —Risko Beats Gates on Points. Ray Rychell, Chicago, and Harry Forbes, Columbus, Ohio, will battle in the main go of ten rounds at Ft. Benjamin Harrison next Tuesday night. Ted Blatt and Mike Moran will meet in the semi-wind-up of ten rounds. There will be three other scraps. A capacity crowd witnessed last night’s fisticuffs at the army post “punch bowl.” Every seat was filled and many fans occupied standing room. In the main event John Risko. Cleveland heavyweight, outpointed Leo Gates, New York, in ten rounds in a rather tame exhibition. Risko was unable to find the “button” with his terrific punches, though he forced the action throughout. He won decisively. The semi-wind-up between Fred<kgk Parker, Indianapolis, and Cox, Terre Haute, was stopped in the seventh round by the military boxing board. The officials decided the boys were not doing enough work. Many fans disagreed with the opinion of the board and shouted for the fight to continue. The board remained firm, however, and halt?d the scrap. Other results last night follow: Allen Watson outpointed Ehrman Clark in six rounds; Battling Budd knocked out Johnny Baer in one round, and Howdy Stout stopped K. O. Keefe in the second round.
