400 AMATEUR ATHLETES TO COMPETE IN RAILROAD TOURNEY SATURDAY

ST. LOUIS AGAINST BOSTON and Pirates in Double Bill as Leaders Meet Tailenders. Bu United Press NEW YORK. Sept. 10.—St. Louis was cemented in first place in the National Leagud pennant race just a little more solidly today. The inability of the Pittsburgh Pirates to get more than an even break with the Chicago Cubs in Friday’s double-header added another to their “lost” column and made it just that much harder for them to catch up with the leaders in the nineteen games they still have to play. St. Louis, after a two-day rest was to meet the League-End Boston Braves today. In the meantime, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, fighting ip out for second place, were at each other's throats in a double-decker at Pittsburgh. If St. Louis beats Boston and Cincinnati and Pittsburgh break even, the Cards would make another gain. On the other hand, if the Cards lose and one of the second place teams scores a double victory, the threegame lead of St. Louis will be hardhit. It’s about all over but the shouting, in the American League. The Yankees/increased their lead to eight games over the Cleveland Indians by heating the Boston Sox while the Redskins lost to‘the Tigers.

Tunney in Shape; to Take It Easy

11 il United Press STROUDSBURG, Pa., Sept. 10.— The bugaboo of the Tunney camp has. returned, and because of its presence, Dempsey's challenger may or may not give his sparring partners further trouble. The reason is said to be that Tunney ha's shown himself to be at the n’th degree of training condition — at the point where he is fit to meet Dempsey tonight, and active and gruelling ring work is apt to send the challenger over the shelf and become overtrained—the worst possible occurrence at the present moment. Gibson saw his protege work out Here Thursday. It was Gibson’s first view in three weeks of the heavyweight mixing it. And he said “Not so good.” Tunney was hit frequently. At times he looked too slow and ponderous to give Dempsey a real tussle. And he failed to punish his sparring partners with any zeal. It was evident, however, that Tunney realized that he must go slow and easy—that he was at the peak of condition and had to be careful.

Fight. Special to Taylor Bout

Bud Taylor, Terre Haute, battles for the world’s bantamweight title in Chicago next Thursday night and many fight critics think he’ll take she crown from Charlie Rosenberg, New York.

Slattery from Buffalo. Both axe ready to show their wares ajid it will be to an invigorated opponent —for the champion all day Thursday was fidgeting to be back ln the ring again. The rest of the sparring fraternity was also e'xpectfint. It was believed Jack expected to box eight or nine rounds at least ar.d against six opponents. Whether or not his rest has been beneficial was to be determined by his ring conduct today the wise ones belie re. The crucial period in his training has now arrived and that Dempsey would break loose today was the prediction. Besides fishing Thursday, Dempsey was bathed in bjdne and then let the sunshine burn it into. his skin. The bath was in the nature of a hide toughening process. The matter of a referee is up to the Pennsylvania commissioners. It is said six names have been submited. While the comrrilssion is under no obligation to. choose any of the six, it has been agreed that the names submitted by bot£ Tunney and Dempsey will receive careful consideration. The list includes Pop O’Brien.
