Football Reviews

■———By Dick Miller 1 r™IVERY one Is busy at Butler Ip J College these days. The I I ‘ 1 1926 football season opens next Saturday. The Bulldogs meet Earlham at Irwin Field. The band is rehearsing its selections for the game and Coaches Hinkle, Strohmeler and Nipper are getting the varsity ready. The old time graduates, infected with football fever, are railbirds. The neighboring youth are scouting about the fence around the park, seeking a good place to scale the wall and root for their favorites. Such was the opinion gathered after a visit to the east side school to get a line on its football conditions for this year. A game in which the Bulldogs were unleashed against each other proved interesting. The big recL jerseys that one team wore made the fever of competition run hotter in the veins of every one. Coach Tony Hinkle and his assistant, Otto Strohmeier, have a huge task. Pat Page, who for the past five years has been regarded the miracle man in Butler Colllege athletics, resigned last spring as* athletic director and took a place at Indiana University. Hinkle, who was Page’s assistant in these years (Turn to Page 13)

AMBROSE OBTAINED BY TRIBE Star Hurler of Decatur Club Purchased; Indians Down Saints Tuesday. Elmer Ambrose, right-hander, star twirler for tho Decatur team of the Three-I League, was purchased by the Indians today. He wilL report next spring. It looks like a splendid "buy” for the Bushmen. Ambrose won nineteen games and lost eleven In the Three-I this season and hurled a number of low hit contests. He Is a fast ball flinger and strong. Harold Ireland, Decatur manager, who is well-known in Indianapolis, recommended Ambrose to Ownle Bush and Owner Smith produced the necessary cash to obtain the twirler when Bush glimpsed over the fine record the pitcher fViade. Boone Boosts Him Carl Boone, bought from Terre Haute, said today Ambrose was one of the most feared hurlers In the Three-I this year. Ambrose pitched 251 innings, allowed 213 hits, 99 runs and struck out 126 batsmen. Owner Smith’s next efforts toward preparing for 1927, in addition to erecting anew ball park, will bs to obtain some known sluggers. Indians and Saints were even on the series as they made ready today to battle for the third time. The Bushmen got the breaks Tuesday and won, 3 to 2, behind the smart pitching of Bill Burwell. Seven and Eight, Hits The visitors got seven hits and the Indians eight, but the wildness of Pitchers Johnson and Meade s os St. Paul enabled the locals to finish on the long end. * St. Paul scored a marker In the first inning on a single by Wannlger. a double by McMillan and a sacrifice fly by Stuvengen. Fisher made a perfect throw home to nail Wanninger, but Ainsmith missed the bounce. In the third stanza Johnson got around irn'liis single. Wanninger’s sacrifice, n wild pitch and McMilllan’s single. Russel] walked in the fourth and scored wnen R'‘bg got three bases on an ordinary sinjr.e Haas tried to make a diving catch and the bail cracked him on the toe and caromed over into right field, Russell scoring. ... A throw by Catcher McCarthy gave the Tribe a run in the eighth, and Fisher who scored, reached first on a base on nails. In the ninth Burwell singled after one °'lU. and Matthews was struck bv a pitched had. Sicking drove to right field, and it seemed as though Anderson would make the catch. He permitted the ball to hit the ground purposely in an effort to make a donb'e plav. He threw to Wanringcr covering second, but Wanninger touched Matthews first, and this relieved the force on Burwell. who held second. Russet) was- struck by a pitched hail, filling the bases. Meade, a southpaw relieved Johnson to pitch to Fisher With *hp count three and two. Fisher shot a foul into the air and Catcher McCarthy muffed it. The next pitch was a bail and Fisher walked, forcing in Burwell with the winning run. In addition to pitching great ball. Burwell was the Tribe batting star, with three singles. He was robbed of a hit in the “eventh. when Anderson made a running, leaping, one-handed catch of his drive to deep right field. Matthews dup'ieated Anderson's feat In the eighth at the expense of McMillan. Mf”er played good bail at* snort for tho Indians.

Philadelphia Likened to Madhouse as Title Bout Nears—Rickard Scoffs at Gambling Scandal Rumors. By Henry L. Farrell United Press fUaff Corresoondent PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.—After weeks of training for the richest prize in the catalogue of sports, Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunhey, who are to meet here Thursday night for the world’s heavyweight boxing championship, rested today in their training camps at Atlantic City and Stroudsburg.

Dempsey had surrounding him a staff of New York and Chicago detectives to protect him from summons and process servers and his lawyers were here to answer a couple of suits and Injunctions that must be answered. Gene Normille, DempsAy’s business manager, and Johnny Broderick, detective of tho gangster squad in New York, were on the scene early. “We. s are not worried about all these suits,’’ NoimiHe said. "Did you read what Dempsey said about Kearns in his statement from Atlantic City? That ought to stop Kearns." Harry Farrell and Harvey Boyle, two members of the Pennsylvania boxing commission, said the police department had been asked to keep the crowds away from tho office of the boxing commission when the two fighters appear to step on the scales Thursday afternoon. Philadelphia was a mad house,

SMART PILOTS MAY AID CHALLENGER IN PINCH Dempsey’s Punches Can Be Batted Down and There Always Is Chance of Foul Occuring.

By Jack .McAuliffe, (Written for the United Press) PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.—Unless a foul is called and allowed by the referee, I can’t see that Jack Dempsey has a chance to lose the heavyweight championship of the world here Thursday night when he meets Gene Tunney. Dempsey is not a foul fighter, but he knows every trick of the trade and he takes advantage -of every opportunity. Despite the "wise money" that is being placed on Tunney, I think the duration of the fight is up to Tunney. If he will up and trade punches, it will be a short affair, and after looking at the Firpo fight I am of the opinion that anything might happen in a free slugging match. Advises Trading Punches If I were the manager <fTf Tunney I would tell him to go and sock with bempsey. If Tunney has a knockout pur ch he would have his best chance trading punches, and if he hasn't a knockout punch he has no chance to beat Dempsey by boxing, because Dempsey has to be beaten by punches and plenty of punches. No manufactured fighter is ever going to take Dempsey's title. The fighter who beats him will have to be a real fighter because Dempsey in the Firpo fight showed he ranks with the best of the old-timers when it comes to the instinct and natural disposition of a winner. If Dempsey got awy with fouls

Rickard's ticket offices has a few seats in the seventieth row for $27.50 and the prominent hotels had nothing for anything. Tex Rickard laughed off rumors that some gamblers whose names were mentioned in the fixing of the 1910 world’s series between the Chicago White Sox nnd the Cincinnati Reds were going hook, line and sinker, that Tunney will win tile championship, "I have been in this game too long to believe those stories or even to pay any attention to them,” he said. "I know that the better fighter will win this fight.” Jack Dempsey is the best fighter and should win in five rounds.

I WAS already a veteran pipe-smoker when I ran across Prince Albert. It happened one day in the smoking-car. I reached for my tobacco and found I "out.” A good Samaritan sitting across the aisle held out a friendly looking red tin. I accepted the offer. That was a great moment in my life, as it turned out. Why, that very first taste won me. It was cool, like a breeze through an open window. It was sweet as a ripe peach. It was fragrant, even in that smoke-filled car. I was having the time of my life.

Owner 3#lith ipsued the order to give every dollar received at the box office to the Red Ctoss. It would be a fine thing if a large crowd turns out. The pass list will be suspended Thursday. If rain prevented today’s game, the Indians and Saints will battle in a double-header Thursday and total receipts will go t* the Red Cross the same as if a single fray is played.

PENNANT SPRINTS NEAF^END Reds and Cleveland Have Only Outside Chance to Catch Leaders. Bu United Pres* NEW YORK, Sept. 22. —The close rac<* -- the National League pennant found the St. Louis Cardinals within four games of the finish today, with a two-game lead over the Cincinnati Reds to work on. The New York Yankees held a three-game lead over the Cleveland Indians, with five games to go. By all the laws of averages, the Yankees and Cardihals should meet here Oct. 2 in’the first game of the world series. Neither fight Is over yet, however. Before the Cardinals and Reds meet in Cincinnati Sunday, the Cards play one game with Brooklyn and two with the Giants; the Reds play three with the Phils. If the Reds take three in a row and the Cards only take one out of three, they will enter the final game a tie. The Reds have a good sporting chance. If they play in their best form, they oueht to be able to take three games from the Philadelphia Nationals. The Cards, on the other hand, have different-opposition. The Giants are heart-breakers for pennant contenders and the Robins have awakened lately to cause a lot of .trouble. The Cleveland Indians have not quite so good a chance in the American League. If they sweep their five remaining games, the Yankees would

> The mildness of Prince Albert appealed to me too. Yet there was plenty of body to it. I knew I was smoking. And I knew I was enjoying it more than any other tobacco I Had ever tried. That settled me. I bought some P. A. when the train pulled in. That was several years ago. I’ve been a P. A. regular ever since. Maybe you need a similar experience to put you next to the grandest tobacco that ever lined a pipe-bowl. My suggestion is: don’t wait! Get yourself a tidy red tin of Prince Albert today!

KINGS OF GOLF IN MATCHES Hagen and Sarazen Appear to Be Best Bets in Pro Meet. Bu United Press GARDEN CITY, L. 1., Sept. 22. It looked like Hagen against Sarazen for tho finals in the annual play for the professional golfers' crown here, after the first round Tuesday had eliminated many of the foremost contenders. Tuesday was a bad day for she stars, among those falling along the fairways and greens being Jim Barnes, Joe Turnesa, A1 Watrous, A1 Espinosa, Freddie McLeod, Bobby Crulckshank and Harry Cooper. Hagen wasn't on his best game Tuesday, hut he didn’t have to, to eliminate Turnesa, who seemed to be under the spell of the Hagen charm. Both Barnes nnd Sarazen played indifferent golf for the first eighteen holes of their match, then Little Gone cut loose with the sensational play that carried him to the heights of golfdom in 1922 and 1923, going out in 32 —four under par—for his first nine in the afternoon and being even fours for the five concluding holes which ended the play 5 up and 4 against Barnes. There isn’t anything in the remaining field that would seem to block the march of Hagen and Sarazen except possibly Leo Diegel, wfyo played the best golf of any of the pros Tuesday—to beat Mike Patton. ANOTHER NURMI RECORD Bu United Press VIENNA, Sept. 22.—Paavo Nurmi, brilliant Finnish runner, established asiother world's record here Tuesday, winirtg the three-mile event against a field of opponents in 14 minutes 7 and 4-5 seconds.
