LOCKHART, the lls I young speed pilot who I * I came out of the West to startle every one by his great driving on the Indianapolis Speedway bricks, is not a flash in the pan. He Is in third place in the last national rating of the speed boys. The standing put out ir American Automobile Association is as follows: Harry Hartz, 2,259; Peter de Paolo, 1,475; Frank Lockhart, 1,250; Bennett Hill, 912; Norman Batten, 620; Fred Comer, 394; Earl Devore, 585; Frank Elliott, 572; Dave Lewis, 550, and Earl Cooper, 465. It is a strange thing that four out of the last six years the winner at Indianapolis also has been the national champion. Lockhart hardly seems to have a chance to catcli the flying Harry for the speed crown, but it is possible. He may take second place away from Pete Do I’aolo, however. Pete has been having trouble ■with his 91 Vi inch mount. His larger boat did not fail him in 1925 when he won the championship, but this year it is a different kstory. No matter how much skill "a driver has, he also must have a mount that stands the gaff. The race at Altoona, Pa., on Labor day will have quite a bearing on the national ratings. The winner of the event gets 600 points in the championship contest. If Lockhart could win and Hartz and Dc Paolo fail to get in tiie money the Pacific Coast meteor would be in second place close on Harry Hartz’s lice’s. Whatever happens, the youngster’s driving has been a real sensation tills year. * * * Pretty soft, Captain Clark! Back, to your alma mater for three years with all expenses paid by a kind U. S. Government. Be sure and study hard. Many a college graduate has been heard to say, “Wish I could go back, now—knowing all I do.” The Ft. Harrison boxing impressario gets this opportunity. Some people get all the breaks. • * * Hill may be worth that §40,000 whether the Indians got it or not —which is more or less of an Irish “bull” to match some of the rest of the bull put out from time to time. Another pitcher may put so much confidence and added pep into the Pirates that they will win that National pennant. * * * L_ _|HO will be the American | \iy woman tennis star to tour L.: Y I with Suzanne Lenglen? Surely, there is no h&rm in a little guessing. The stories out of New York eliminate Helen Wills, Elizabeth Ryan and Holla Mallory. Just who is left? Well, it looks as though it must be Mary K. Browne, veteran of many court struggles. This isn’t any “inside dope.” By a process of elimination the Pacific Coast woman is about the only one left. * * ♦ If you want to be a wise guy pronounce the “u” in Tunney’s name just like the “u” in funny. That’s the way the New York lawyer who was here in the Dempsey injunction proceedings pronounced it. And according to a story from Tunney’s camp, that's the way he says it. Gene ought to know,if the lawyer didn’t. * * * jr-p IHE Indianapolis Derby was run off today at the I——l State fairground track. Now for the anti-climax—purse, S4OO. At any rate, the winner ought to be able to get ljls money at once. That was more than could be said of the SIOO,000 American Derby at Chicago this summer. * * • How original some of these press agents are! Publicity from Chicago on the coming bout between Taylor and' Rosenberg calls it the bantamweight Battle of the Century. ~* • * @HIS probably comes under the head of sport. A school has been opened in Bristol, Engwhere fathers can learn how to take care of the children while their wives go to the movies or elsewhere. It Is said the lectures are well attended. Good looking nurses are the speakers and smoking is permitted. The wives, doubtless, are at home taking care of the children.

INDIANS THREE IN BITTER BATTLE - Cards, Reds and Pirates Continue Desperate Fight for Pennant. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 4—The National League pennant race was in a tight deadlock again today after the St. Louis Cardinals muffed a redhot chance to cement their position in first place. By losing Friday’s game to the seCond-ploce Cincinnati Reds, while Pittsburgh was kicking the Chicago Cuba definitely out of the contention, the Cardinals found their lead reduced to one game. Only ten points separate the first three clubs. St. Louis met the Reds again today in Cincinnati and Pirates played the Cubs a twin bill. A victory by the Reds and Pirates would tighten the race still further into one of the most amazing league finishes in baseball history. Carl Mays was master of the Cards in Friday’s game and the Reds were on their toes to take advantage of the loose plays, such as Lester Bell’s wild throw that let in two runs. The Pirates again showed proof qf their stamina when they took a teninning thriller from the Cubs by a typical Pirate batting rally in the tenth. Hill, the pitcher obtained from Indianapolis, won his first start. In tho American League, the Yankees’ lead was cut to five and one-half games again when New York divided with Philadelphia while the Cleveland Indians fell upon Detroit for a 9-to-l victory, Its eighth straight. The Yankees, however, by stopping the Athletics in the second game, prevented what might have proved a serious setback for them.

Ferdie Schupp, obtained from St. Paul recently, did the chucking for the Tribe and McCullough operated for the Hens. Punch In Pinch Lacking The Indians were not guilty of kicking away the Friday fracas, but managed to lose by failure to connect with the horsehide when the bases were occupied.

On the other hand, the Hens solved Schupp for oni/ six hits, but they bunched them, scoring two runs In the second stanza and three in the sixth. With the exception of those two innings.

Bn X'nitedTress PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4. Speculation in boxing circles centered today around who will be the referee in the coming heavyy weight championship bout between Jack Dempsey an Gene Tunney In the Sesquicentennial stadium. The Pennsylvania State athletic commission has been giving the matter much thought. The task of obtaining a satisfactory man from among the score of available third mep for the ring will not be an easy one. Tho candidates most frequently mentioned and best known to fans

Greb and De Forest “Knock” Dempsey

Bu United Press ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Sept. 4. —Two expert observers have an unfavorable impression of Jack Dempsey today. Gene Tunney has an excellent chance of winning the heavyweight boxing crown when he meets Dempsey. Sept. 23, in the opinion of Harry Greb, former middleweight title holder, while Jimmy De Forest, veteran trainer, believes the champion is not snappy enough. After witnessing Dempsey's workout here Friday, Greb sa'd Dempsey impressed him as being "all dried out.” “Dempsey is not showing up to his previous good form.” Greb said. “He is missing- too much and he is being hit too often by sparring partners, who are not particularly brilliant.” De who conditioned Dempsey for his fight with Jess Willard said: “Ills condition looks all right, but he is not stepping around as lively as he did in Toledo. He's not snappy enough in his work to suit me.” Impartial observers blamed the weather, which was chilly with a stiff wind blowing, as the cause of the poor showing made by the champion in the workout Greb and De Forest witnessed. Contrary to those experts’ views, Harry Persson, Swedish heavyweight, said, through an Interpreter, that he was impressed with the size and physical fitness of the champ. Tex Rickard, the fight promoter, was expected to be a visitor at the camp sometime today.

The final selection of a referee will not be made known to the public until the day of the fight. Ticket sales In the Philadelphia fight headquarters mounted to $Bl,200 Friday, bringing the total sold here well over $850,000, it was announced. This does not include the sale of tickets In New York, which should bring the figure well over the million mark. Joe Bannon of New York has been selected as Dempsey’s timekeeper. He acted in a similar capacity for the champion when he fought Jess Willard and Georges Carpentier. Approximately one million dollars has been received by betting commissioners here to place on Dempsey. The odds run between 8 to 5 and 2 to 1. Most of the money has come from New York fans. The Idea of the syndicate backing Dempsey to the tune of a million dollars was believed to he that the odds on Dempsey would lengthen before fight time and that fans would soon have to lay 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 to get their money down.
