TR)RASSIE njIRDIES • By DICK MILLER

HICK BJ.TSER, city controller, and John Milnor, president .. of the park board, were to partner in an eighteen-hole match at South Grove today, with .Clyde Robinson, county treasurer nominee on the Republican ticket, and Adolph Emhardt as their opponents. Emhardt and Buser recently started lessons from Harry Schopp and have made rapid progress. We wonder if the park board and city fam ily members can see any places where some of the fee money colSouth Grove might be spent on the course whence it came. • * * Dave Mitchell, assistant pro at South Grove, sent in his entry to the western open Thursday.

When she returns Miss Dunn will play in the city tournament, as will Mrs. Roy. It will be played at the Coffin course, Aug. 30 and 31. and Sept. 1 and 2. The South Grove finale match will be played following that. • * * Pad Williams, starter at South Grove, in a little chat with some of the boys on the veranda recently, handed one of the hoys v ho wss telling how much of a h mip boss he was a .lice cooler. r "Whenever they sav I run thing’s at my house.” said Dad.

QUAKER CITY KEYED UP TO POSSIBILITIES OF TITLE RING GO

FLOWERS RETAINS T IE Negro Middleweight Holds Onto Crown, Although Greb Finishes Fast. By Henry Farrell, United Pres* Rtatt C'orresDondrnt NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—Tiger Flowers is still world's middleweight champion today. He retained the title in taking the decision over Hairy Greh in fifteen rounds of rough and tumble fighting in Madison Square Garden last night. The 15,000 fight fans present did not regard the two to one verdict of Judges Mathison, Barnes and Crowley with favor. Flowers had the best of seven rounds, Greb won six and two were an even break. It \vas a. Greb audience that watchedthe fight. They came ready, for a spectacle of the old-time Greb fury. They saw- plenty of rough stuff, but, gallant though it was. Greb's assault lacked the power of the Greb of other battles. Consistent Fight Flowers, on the other hnd, fought a consistent fight, and although forced by the Pittsburgh boy to alter hf!s attack each time Greb's rushes and wrestling became maudlin he managed to regain bis form, and took the rounds in order of second, fifth, eighth, ninth, tenth, twelfth and thirteenth, slowly Siammering back Greb’s assaults. The fourteenth round was opened by Greb with a rushing attack that promised a snap-back to the old Greb form. He hammered Flowers, rushing him about, the ring and forcing him into the ropes with the fury of his attack. Finishes Fast Greb kept up these tactics to the end of the fifteenth round, fighting madly, disregarding his own defense and easily taking the final rounds from Flowers. But, despite the furious pace of the challenger, he failed to connect with the Flowers machinery and finished a loser on points. The finish carried the crowd to Greb and when Referpe Crowley an nouneed the verdict which retained Flowers’ title, the news was greeted by a storm of straw hats and papers pelted into the ring by disappointed friends of the Pittsburgh fighter.

TUNNEY GOT $lO FOR HIS FIRST BATTLE IN RING Gene’s Real Name Is James —Wasn’t Looking for Fights in Early Greenwich Village Days.

By Joe Williams. (Copyright. 1926, NKA Service. Inc.l Well, to begin with, Gene Tunney isn’t Gene Tunney at all. Twentyeight years ago, down in Greenwich Village at 111 Bank St., James J. Tunney vas born, a howling, squirming bundle of Irish humanity that now stands on the threshold of the world heavyweight championship. James J. Tunney became Gene Tunney both to his family and the -world at large through the inability of a younger brother to pronounce Jim. The best the younger Tunney could do with it was Gene when he wanted to say Jim and Genie when he tried for Jimmy. The ring knows Tunney today as a "gentleman fighter." But in his more youthful days he was a street fighter of no meager ability. "I don't xver recall going out of my way to start one of those fights," says Tunney, "but just the same I seemed always to be In one." In due time Tunney came to he known as the best 140-pounder in the village. Tunney started professionally this way: Bill .Jacobs used to scout for neighborhood material for the old Sharkey A. C. in precisely the same way baseball scouts roam the smaller leagues for potential diamond greats. Jacobs saw Tunney and offered him $lO to fight a four-rounder the following Saturday night. "You can believe it or not," relates Tunney, “hut t was more offended than surprised. The'business of fighting'for money never had entered my head, and somehow or other it all seemed very distasteful, I told Jacobs I’d never fight anybody except for the fun of It.” Sam Green One of Tunney's buddies, by name -Sam Green, heard of the incident. "Do you know why you don’t want to fight for money?" asked Green the next time he saw Tunney. "Well, I'll tell you. You're afraid of getting that good looking pan of yours smashed in." Tunney wasn’t sure whether his friend was kidding him or not. He didn't appear to be. "All right, Sam,” Tunney replied, "I fight for Jacbos, but it’ll he my last public

one. Whatever happens, win or lose. I'm through." Tunney won the fight. He stopped his man. All of his gang from the village was there to see hlin do it. Tunney changed 'his mind about fighting only one fight at the neighborhood clubs. He fought three others and won them all, looking better each time. One of those four fights was staged at the old Kairmount A. C., which was th4n operated by Billy Gibeon, Tunney's present manager. It was then held on a hot summer night. Tunney was meeting one of the Jaspers from Harlem in a sixrounder. Gibson usually sat at the ringside personally supervising his programs. But it was too hot for him this night, so he sat in the front office, about 100 feet away, cooling off before an electric fan. • i "Say Gibson." shouted a voice from the arena, “come on out and watch this kid Tunney go. He looks I pretty sweet," j "Watch him yourself." barked ' Gibson. “I wouldn't walk 100 feet to see the Corbett-Sulljvan fight re peated. /1 ' Tunney tells that story himself, j “And I don't blame Billy a whole lot. I can still remember that, night. I The place was like a bake oven." AH' the while Tunney was still ! working as a stenographer and acicountant in the downtown offices of j the Pennsylvania Railroad. Didn’t Talk Much “That job looked awfully good to me in those days." says Tunney, "and I didn't do much talking around the office about mV fights for fear I would get the ‘can’.” This was in 1917. Presently the wAr reached a point where America decided to get in and Tunney enlisted in the marines. Tunney, in hik own way, is a thinker and a philosopher. When the transport on which he sailed glided out of the East river and info the Atlantic a sort of spiritual message came to him. It said: “You'll die in France." "That alwas’3 has puzzled me.'* says Tunney. "I'm not morbid by nature, yet I was positive all the while I was In France that I had seen home, mother and my friends for the last time.”

Philly Counts Itself $5,000,000 Ahead—Hotel Reservations Pouring In. Bu United Pregg PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 20. Philadelphia counted itself five million dollars ahead today, as a result of having been selected as the place for the Jack Dempsey-Gene Tunney fight Sept. 23. It was estimated the 150,000 persons expected to attend the world's heavyweight championship battle would leave that much money In Philadelphia. When the $2,000,000 Tex Rickard estimates will be paid for admissions; the cost of transportation am] of private cars of the rich fans; the tolls on thousands of words which newspapers will telegraph from Philadelphia; the training expenses and all the other items are counted In? the fight becomes almost a SIO,OOO, 000 project. And the hets to be made will swell that figure. Realizing the tremendous project which has come their way, business people of Philadelphia began getting ready today. Hotels were swamped with applications for reservations. Today one of the leading hotels reported it already was "sold out." Transportation experts met to plan the task of handling the crowds to and from the great Sesquicentennial Exposition stadium, where the fight will be held. Busses, street cars, autos and every form of transportation will be used. The officials of the sesquicentennial estimated the fight would be worth perhaps a million dollars to eoneesssions at the exposition. Two hundred thousand dollars was estimated as the share in the receipts which the exposition itself will receive, under the agreement giving it 10 per cent of the gross receipts. Gene Normile, representing Jack Dempsey, was in Philadelphia today to make new arrangements regarding quarters for the champion.
