OHiJTX. XI , OINCY REDS GIVEN EDGE IN BETTING OWING TO STRONG PITCHING

fUNNEY Invites jbeatmng f McAuliffe Is inclined to Think Gene Has Made Dempsey Hostile. By Jack McAuliffe, Undefeated Lightweight Champion of the World (Written for the United Press) STROUDSBURG, Pa., Sept. 17. Gene Tunney closed the only door open to him when he said he wanted to see Jack Dempsey in perfect condition, so the sporting writers would be unable to say he had beaten the shell of the former Dempsey, and announced he would stand up arid swap punch for punch with Demp sey in Philadelphia Sept. 23.' Tunney had a possible chance to maneuver for five or six rounds, avoid the champion's famed opening rushes, and when Dempsey tired, bring over all he has with a possibility of taking the title. May Be Curtains Early If he tries to give punch for punch will be curtains in two rounds and all go back to New York early. That’s my opinion after watching Tunney’s workout. His showing was not impressive. But the fans will get their thrill, for Tunney is a game fellow. I am surprised Tunney let such statements go out under his name. They are amateurish. But he is a great salesman and pV- has left that statement, and a lot of others go out under his name just as part of hia sales talk. He’ll Learn Something Gene shouldn’t be discouraged after meeting Dempsey, even if he loses, for he will learn much about boxing and fighting in Philadelphia. It is in the cards that Dempsey may retire after this fight and Gene will become champion then, because there is no one in sight today that he can’t beat excepting Dempsey. It’s bad dope for his friends to be shouting what he will do to Dempsey, which is like throwing red meat to a lion. For speaking out of turn, he will get his. He’s out asking for it.

Cushion and Bat

The incident at Pocatello, Idaho, during which Shortstop Pat O’Shea of the Salt Lake team hurled a bat into, the stand, brought an investigation from League President Fred M. Nye. O'Shea was suspended, while Chet Chadbourne, manager of the Salt Lake team, who was arguing with the umpire at the time the trouble started, paid a $5 fine. It develops O'Shea hurled his bat after a fan had hurled a cushion, striking him flush in the face while he was minding his own business.

Furious Battle in National Continues —Nine Games Left in Race. Bv United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Nine games to go, and the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds were tied for first place again in the National League Pennant fight today. Even the approach of the Demp-sey-Tunnoy fight, the National Golf and tennis championships failed to detract from the interest here in the most exciting baseball race seen in many years. Sentiment and betting was almost even, although the Reds seemed to be given a slight edge, due to the disputed superiority of their pitching staff. It is generally predicted the deadlock will continue until Sept. 26, when the two teams meet for the final game of the season. If they are tied, or one team is not more thap a game behind, the issue either would be decided by that game, or a play-off would be necessary. Such a situation would give the encounter as much interest as a world series game. The Cards, half a game behind the Reds Thursday, evened the’ race by defeating the Phillies twice while the Reds won one game from the New York Giants. In the American League, the Cleveland Indians Thursday showed symptoms of putting up a battle for the flag that had been conceded to the Yankees. The Indians outplayed the Yankees, who certainly did not show championship ball. By winning both games of a double-header, 2 to 1 and 5 to 0, Cleveland cut New Yorks lead to four and one-half games.

MAJOR AND TUNNEY BUDDIES IN FRANCE Hoople Describes His Thrilling Rescue of Cl\al!enger/on Battlefield —Gene Do esn’t Remember It.

Editor's Note—ls they keep this guy Hoople from crowding Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney right out of the headlines, American newspaper editors should be decorated with the Order of the Sixteen Ounce Glove. We can't kick him off The Times comis page —he’s too heavy (with the readers). And now we've got to let him brag over the telegraph wlrejs. Oh well— BY MAJOR HOOPUE Former Sports Editor of the Bombay India Relish STROUDSBURG, Pa., Sept. 17. Shade* of glorious days on the battlefront in the Toul sector! . The very recollection. Egad, friends, of my services while in command of Gene Tunney's brigade in the World War, brings a mist about my eyes, even as I compose this article. I feel that I must pause in this, which is intended to be a fistic picture of the man Tunney, himself, to remind my readers of the heroism of Hoople'* brigade during the severe engagements in the Toul sector, in which more than once it was my privilege to save Tunney's life. In Mortal Combat Once, Indeed, when Tunney, as I remember the lad? was engaged in mortal combat with one of the Kaiser's bayonetteers (a fellow from the Innlsklllen Fusiliers, as I recall)

I was honored by coming to the young man's rescue. 1 was unarmed at the time, previously having buried my bayonet in the breast of a mounted soldier of the Connaught Rangers. But in the Toul sector there were picks and shovels on all sides, and I seized a large pick of the kind commonly employed in road and railroad construction, with which 1 advanced upon Tunney’s adversary. I swung at the fellow, but missed. A terrific explosion rent the air and after the smoke had cleared there were dead and dying on all sides. Tunnej and I, however, fortunately escaped with a few slight scratches. I had sunk my implement into a discarded German mine! I regaled several of Tunney’s camp followers with the Incident and my hearers seemed vastly interested. They Like the Story Later, upon visiting Tunney himself, someone in his presence urged upon me the repititlon of the story of the abandoned mine. When I modestly refused to repeat it, he sketched the details for the ears cf the champion’s challenger. Os course Tunney, could not be expected to remember my Identity since I, being in command of the regiment, was more or reoved from direct contact with the men, and I suppose he did not recognize me. However, at the narration of the deed, Tunney smiled wisely, i (Copyright. 1926. NEA Service, Inc.)

Toronto Star

Owen Carroll

For the first time in eight seasons the International League will have a team outside of Baltimore boasting the 1926 pennant. Toronto finally has halted the long regime of the Orioles. Much of the credit for the success of the Maple Leafs this season is due Owen Carroll, former Holy Cross star. Carroll has hurled consistently good ball all year and likely will get another trial with detroit next season, which club has a string on his services.

ZUPPKE’S OPINION OF GRID Coach Says Passing of Red Grange Doesn’t Mean Passing of Stars. Bu United Press _ URBANA, HI., Sept. 16.—The passing of “Red" Grange from the field of amateur football does not mean the passing of all individual stars from the. collegiate football ranks, in the opinion of “Bob Zuppkn, head coach at the University of Illinois and the finder of Grange. Preparing for the season of the 1926 Illini—a team which has been referred to as the “Grangeless Illini —Zuppke smiled when it was mentioned Grange’s passing meant the end of individual stars. “Maybe there won’t be anydne so good as Grange In some time," Zuppke said. “However, there will be stars now as always before.” Zuppke, considered to have ofie of* the keenest football minds in the Big Ten conference, is directing his forces towards creation of another player who will reel off great yardage against the opponents. He has Lanum, Timm and Peters from last year’s sophomores. All give promise of being future “gVeats” in Big Ten football circles. “We will at least have a rounded hack field tills fall and it wouldn’t be surprising if we had some stars," Zuppke said. The little coach thinks football will have one of its greatest years in tills section. He believes there will be more interest and that the stfidia of the Middle West will be crowded from the start of the season.
