Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiramniniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii TIRRINi the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

mHE other day a friend said, ‘•Why are you always putting Dempsey on the •pan?' What did he ever do to you? He's not such a bad. fellow. Why don't the sports writers ‘lay off' of him?” Well, como to think of it, he may not b% such a bad fellow. But a fighter Ms supposed to light. That's the main reason we don't get up and cheer for the heavyweight champ. Now, don’t misunderstand. We are not referring to his record in the war when he wont to the shipyards. That was a mistake, but jack was probably ill advised. We cannot believe for a minute that he is •‘yellow.” If he had joined the Army very probably he would have been made an athletic director at a training camp—or some such job. Many fighters had such positions while wearing the khaki and the epithet "slacker” is not hurled at them. In the wartime scramble chance played a great part in the destiny of many. Dempsey's trouble is trying to be something he is not. He is not a movie sheik. He is a fighter—or was. Jack has not been sincere with himself. He has failed to follow hisl profession. But if one would be magnanimous even that could be condoned to a certain extent. Money has magic power, and the changes it works are not always to be admired. Money opens up anew world which must be learned. The adjustment, sometimes, is a rather painful process, especially with the whole world looking on—laughing or sneering or ready with advice. We have taken our flings at .lack along with the others. We have laughed at his new nose, his lawsuits, his dress suits and his movie stunts—have jeered at his failure to fight, , the life of ease that' he lived and liis pose as a “gentleman." But now the champion is at his training camp getting ready to make another million or so. And In spite of everything we cannot help but admire Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world—admire him as a fighting machine. He is back where lie belongs —back in the padded ring where the scuff of the shoe on the resin is the undertone running through the stacatto rhapsody of slapping gloves. And today we hazard a guess is happier than he has been for many months. Ho Is living again. Living his life — the one he has been trying so ■hard to get away from. * * * A meiinan has made it easier for mere man. Since Vierkotter swam the English channel in faster time than Gertrude Ederle made, the ladies have been strangely silent.

' LOT has been written about the French tennis i—■ . threat and how the volatile young gentlernen from across ,he seas are going to take back )he Davis cup with them this year. The closer the time approaches for the matches (Sept. 9 is the date) the more remote seems this possibility. Anyway, that’s the way It looks to us. The Frenchmen were not so impressive last week in defeating Japan for the. honor of meeting the United States team. The result wks three matches to two. Hawara, the great little \jap, defeated La Coste and Coeliet. On the other hand. Big Bill TilJcp seems his old self again. The French had better not remember Sffeats suffered by Bill last spring In the indoor meet at the hands if La Coste and Brugnon. This Is a different Tilden that, in all probability, will be the ace of the defending Yankee team. He ihowed it clearly in the Newport tournament last week. Oh, the Frencli are not beaten yet. They are not to be taken lightly. But let’s not hand over the cup just yet. Mons. Coeliet, La Coste, Brugnon and Borotra are going to find the going “tres difleile” against Messrs. Tilden, Richards, Johnston and Williams. In other words, there are some tough battles ahead. We are Nation, but l cup is a cup, even though we may not have anything to put In It except some of Bill Tilden's Iced tea. * • • The Indiana State tennis titles have gone far, far away. Junior players took them home to California and Texas. It does seem as though State crowns should be for Iloosiers alone. Remember when Bill Tilden won? If it is an open meet, call it that; if it is an Indiana meet, make it that. • • * Talking about baseball races, take a slant at the Three-I League in which two Hoosier clubs are battling tooth and nail for the pennant. Here's the way the stand ing looked this morning: Springfield, 545; Evansville, 544; Terre Haute, 540: Peoria, .536; Decatur, .516; Danville, .508. MONEY HELD UP B’/ f'vlted Pres* CHICAGO, Aug. 31.—The fighters’ money in the ten-round match between Jock Malone, St. Paul middleweight, and Young Fisher .of Syracuse, N. .Y., was ordered held up by officials pending a meeting of the boxing commission today. Malone was given a referee’s decision after the crowd had booed and hissed the fighters who stalled throughout the bout. SLOOP RACES Bit United Press SEASIDE PARK, N.

Leaders Have Tough Series Ahead With Philadelphia and Cleveland. Hu United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 31. The American League contest, which for weeks has been regarded as a runaway affair for the Yankees, began to., assume the aspect of a race today. Attention, hitherto centered on the exciting see saw in tho National League, shifted in jjart to the junior circuit. The Yanks, galloping along in front, have been slipping. Only six and a half games in the lead, they opened a seven-day series with tho formidable Philadelphia Athletics today which may drag them down to a point where the issue will be undecided until the closing week. The Yanks themselves can see rocks ahead. It wiH be a struggle to get the upper hand of the Athletics in the series which ends with a double-header in New York on Labor Day. Then only a brief breathing spell and the Hugraen must lock horns In Cleveland in a sixgame series with the fighting sec-opd-piace Indians. The three-team National League deadlock remains unbroken, and will continue until one of the teams cracks. Not the tiniest crevlco has appeared yet. The leading Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cards, in third place only a game hehind, divided honors in a twin hill Monday nnd met In another dou-ble-header in St. Louis today. Cincinnati, in second place, only four points behind the Pirates, met the Cubs again today, after halting Chicago's winning streak of eight consecutive games Monday.

Around the A. A. ■By Eddio Ash The Indians were in Toledo today to open a series with the slugging Hens nnd the Bushmen will remain tnero througli Friday. Toledo is pointed toward the third-place position held by tho Tribe nnd no doubt will givo the Hoosiers much anguish the next few days. The Hens have two $50,000 pastimers in the line-up. Lebourveau, outfielder, has been sold to tho Giants for that sun* and English, shortstop, has been sifld to tho Chicago Cubs for a like amount. The players are not to Join the major outfits until next spring. Toledo made it four straight over Columbus by winning Monday. It was the only fracas staged in the A. A. Lyons allowed Toledo only six hits, but lie walked four men and lie was supported poorly. Yeach got three of the Hens’ six blows. That Leo Cotter deal that sends the Colonel first baseman to the Chicago Cubs after the A. A. season looks like another “cover up” affair. It is said the Giants covered him up for Louisville last year. He is eligible for the draft. Outfielder Duncan, Inflelder Kilduff and Johnny Corrlden, coach, members of the M.llers, drew penalties from Prexy Hickey Monday for a run in they had with Umpire Connolly Saturday. Kilrtuff got ten days and the others five. Suspensions became effective starting today. It is said Milwaukee has lost its fear of Indianapolis in the A. A. flag fight and is only concerned about Louisville. The Indians are seven games hehind, a long way at this stage. ItuslTs pitchers have been unable to hold leads recently and numerous runs don’t mean much to the Tribe. It Is not thought Maurice Shannon will be able to play for another week. Shortstop Schreiber is bothered by a sprained thumb on his throwing hand. Luck must turn shortly or the Indians will be definitely out of the race within a few days.
