in the heavyweight I championship fight to be staged in Philadelphia on (kept. 23 have been announced as follows: For Dempsey—Gus. Wilson, who seconded Georges Carpentier in 1921 when Dempsey defeated the Frenchman; Capt. Charles Mabbutt, who has been in charge of Dempsey’s boxing exhibitions at Atlantic City; Jerry, the Greek, the champion's trainer, and Gene Normlle, business representative. For Tunney—Billy Gibson, the challenger’s manager; Lew Fink, has aided in handling Tunney during the latter's training, and two others yet to be named. • • • That l/os Angeles elevator operator who aspires to swim Catalina channel should not. mind the up and down motion of the waves. • * • IV/I HAT happened to that yy vaunted French threat in - tennis? The United States "Big Four" are assured of retaining the Davis Cup after winning the first three matches. Instead of the predicted struggles, it was easy for the Americans. Seldom have the international title matches been so “soft” for the victors. From accounts It seemed as though the French were brilliant in spots, but not steady or accurate. The Yanks let the challengers beat themselves. In all lines of sport accuracy is the greatest vlrture. The brilliant play draws applause, but steadiness wins. • • * If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Charles Michel „ attempted the swim ten times before he broke the record. The roly-poly Frenchman must be a glutton for punishment. Besides Ills swimming activities be wants to buy a Ford. • • • l " 1 tCCORDING to the PennsylA|vania State Athletic ComiLrJ mission there are a. lot of "Don’ts” for the coming DempseyTunney fight. Some of them are: No coaching from the corners. No throwing of towel or sponge into the ring in case one of the boxers is being liadly beaten. Stopping of the fight will be up to the referee. No bandaging of hands before entering the ring. That will be none in the ring with gauze furnished by the commission. No judges announced until after the fighters have entered ring. „ No referee announced until the same time. The Judges will render decision if fight goes limit. If judges disagree referee casts deciding vote. No kidney i punches, "rabbit” punches, or backhand pivot punches. • • • EHERE seems to be a certain technique in this profession of hog calling. The first world's championship meet at Omaha is educating the ordinary citizens into some of the mysteries of the plaintive notes which the porkers can not resist. Today was to decide the champion. Hughie Henry of the Kansas City yards is one of 1 the favorites along with Fred Patzel, Nebraska champ. According to all accounts their methods are somewhat different although their voices are somewhat the same. Both resemble fog horns.. Henry uses a yell that sounds like “whoopee—ee”. Potzel is more seductive with a “poogiepooey,” enticing enough to make any pig leave home. There are other calls. One of the contestants bellows out something that resemble "sul, sul' sul, sooee.” Another splits the air with a "ooie, hooie, peeg, peeg.” The pigs seem to understand each of the variations. • • • Sttrrin’ the Dope goes on a two-weeks vacation, starting next Monday. On the job again Sept. 27.

ST. LOUIS STRIKES ASN A G Lowly Braves Wallop Cards —Double-Header at Boston Today. Bv United Press NEW YORK. Sept. 11.—Baseball is a queer game. The St. Louis Cardinals, a mighty team fighting for supremacy in the close National League race and Winning consistently from the strongest teams in the league, met the tail-end Boston Braves Friday in a game that meant much to their pennant aspirations and were disgracefully beaten. The Braves, who have lost eightytwo games this year, had to pick Friday for one of their rare victories. They rapped out eighteen hits and aided by three errors by Thevenow, won 11 to 3. The Cards still held their lead today, but it had been cut to two and a half games over Cincinnati and three over Pittsburgh. The two contending teams, supposed to be cutting each other’s throats in the Pirate City, broke even in a doubleheader. St. Louis had another royal chance today, however. The Cardinals -were to meet the Braves again in a dou-ble-header and if they don't win both, baseball form means nothing. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati met .again, and one of them may fall another game and a half back of St, Louis, which would come close to being fatal at this stage of the close race. St. Louis has only fifteen more games to play. Cincinnati sixteen and Pittsburgh seventeen.

HENS AND INDIANS IN DOUBLE BILL SUNDAY Senes Opener Friday Taken by Toledo Spectacular Fielding Plays Abou nd —Tribe Gossip.

Fans who enjoy baseball minus the pennant lure are being entertained royally at Washington Park these days. The athletes appear to be in some sort of a condition that causes them to execute plays of a most brilliant nature. For several innings Friday Hens and Indians battled as though the world's title was at stake and circus catches, fancy stops and spectacular throws were produced frequently by both sides. Indians lost, 4 to 3. Three loose moves in the field that were not book errors g*. ve the Hens enough to nose out a victory. Henry was touched for fifteen hits, but he was no bargain for the visitors and they were lucky to slip through to capture the series opener. The same clubs were to battle again today. On Sunday there will be a double-header, first fray at 2 o’clock, and on Monday the scries will close with a single struggle. The two $50,000 pastirhers with tn 6 Hens, Lebourveau and English, offered the crqwd much to look at Friday. “Bevo” wah dazzled by Dutch Henry's slants and failed to get a hit, but English bothered the Dutchman twice and drpve in two runs. The Toledo shortstop crossed up the Tribe In the sixth and “squeezed” Maguire home with the run that proved the winning mark er. Ryan, first Hen twirler, was Jerked for a pinch batter in the fifth and Frey, the relieving flinger, proved a torment to the Indians after he warmed up to his job. He permitted only two bingles after the fifth Inning. Two sensational plays were executed in the first inning Friday. Sicking went near second, snared Koehler s hot grounder with his bare hand and got the runner at first. Lebourveau bunted and Voter camp tn fast, scooped the pellet'with one hand and got “Bevo" with a rifle-like peg Maguire attempted to steal home tn the second and was nipped by a narrow mari in. Matthews made great ratehes on fir oh and Koehler In the third. His best play ran* In the fourth, however, when he turned his back to the stand*, sprinted toward the fenee and caught Maguire’s drive with one hand while on the run. Koehler and Lebourveau contributed fancy plays on Matthews and Russell. Maguire and English pci formed like big leacuers around the keystone. Groh and Urban collided on Fisher's foul near tlip Tribe dugout in tho third, but Urban hold the ball. Groh spilled, but was unhurt. Sicking was able to go from first to second after the catch, as Urban wag tangled up with Heinie.

DOE.SN’T PREDICT WIN N E R Georgia Tech Coach Handicapped by Green Material. Bv United Press ATLANTA, Ga„ Sept. It.— I Ths Golden Tornado will go swishing and not rumbling across southern gridirons this year. The varsity Georgia Tech'will hold itself in check and prepare for a dashing, raging storm in 1927, according to Coach W. A. Alexander, who has piloted the institution's most famous teams to victory. “I’ve lost my best men,” Coach Alex said when asked about the prospects of this year’s football team, “fay squad is almost entirely last year’s freshman team, and while they’ve got the life and the spirit in them, they're still green. It'll take a year to bring them around.” So Coach Alex is going to mold .his men into shape for a. star teaiji Yiext year, and he believes he’ll have it. “We’ll be contented to hold our biggest opponents this year to a < scoreless tie, or to a one touchdown victory,” he said. Coach Alex was not enthusiastic over the new football rules “The forward pass rule might .just as well never have been written," he Sfld. “It was made only to keep a losing team from making too many passes at the end of the game, but what does any team care about penalties when if.s’s trailing in the score? It doesn't mind risking a penalty for the possibility of winning, however slim. The rule will make quarterbacks a little wary about passing. “The rule which kills a ball that has gone out of bounds is a. good cne. It prevents injuries to players, as it keeps them from scrambling for the ball under the benches or against the stands. Under the benches or against the stand. Undernew rule the ball belongs to the team which had it before it left the field. But. none of the rules will affect the spectator’s viewpoint. RESIGNATION Gorman of Tech H. S.
