MINNEAPOLIS HERE FOR SERIES; A. A. SEASON TO CLOSE SUNDAY

NO KICK AGAINST DECISION McAuliffe Says Dempsey Dropped From Champion to Novice. By Jack McAuliffe (Written for the United Press) PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24.—Never did drop down from champion to a novice as Jack Dempsey did Thursday night when he lost the world's heavyweight championship to Gene Tunney on a ten-round decision. I think that for the first time in the history of the'prize ring a title was passed from a heavyweight champion on a decision fairly. By Wide Margin I think Tunney won the decision by a nsargin wide enough to convince everyone who knows anything about boxing and fighting. I think Tunney won every round dmt the sixth. In that sixth round flashed for the only time looked like the champion who Jeat Willard. Carpentier and Flrpo. We thought Tunney lacked confidence in himself, and it looked like he w&s too nervous in his corner when minutes of valuable time were being wasted putting on hand bandages. But when the fight started, it was just the opposite. Some Old Stuff The eight minjites that Dempsey made Tunney wait for him in the corner before he arrived was old stuff. It was to get Tunney’s goat, but it didn’t. He not only fooled me, but he fooled others. I said in my prediction that, unless a foul was claimed and allowed, that Dempsey should, not lo?e. But I also pointed *Sut that wise money was being p aced on Tunney and there is a legend of those who follow .lie race track that it is wise io follow wise money. Dempsey was badly beaten.

Two Double-Headers to Be Played at Washington Park. The final series of the season was scheduled to open at Washington Park this afternoon with the Minneapolls Millers opposing the Indians. A double-header will be staged Saturday and another twin bill Sunday, and that will end league baseball in Indianapolis for 1926. The Bushmen still have a chance to finish second as they are only one-half game below the Milwaukee Brewers, who have the tough Toledo to buttle in their wind-up series. Louisville clinched the A. A.-pennant several days ago, Outl ucked In Deal If the Indians win second position it will be the third consecutive season for the Tribe in the runnerup place. Their chances for the flag this year went glimmering when Shortstop Shannon was injured when the club was in the midst of the pennant fight. The Tribe bosses simply were outlucked| on the deal that sent Stephenson and Schreiber to the Cubs in exchange for Shannon. The final fray of the Saint-Indian series at Washington Park Thursday was a five-inning affair to no decision. Showers ended the struggle after the visitors had scored a run in the sixth and after Matthews had opened the Indians’ half of. the sixth with a single. Owing to the fact the Bushmen did not get to complete their time at bat in the sixth, the score reverted, to the fifth, nothing to nothing. The player records for five innings go into the league averages, however. Speece Fans Seven. Speece struck out seven Saints in five innings and allowed only two lilts. The two hits arid one run made by the visitors In the sixth do not count against him in the records. Indianapolis got three safeties in five innings, two doubles by Fisher and a single by Ainsmith. Matthews loses his sixth-inning hit. Betts, former Philly, pitched for St. Paiil. Speece fanned two men in the third, three in the fourth and twe in the fifth.

FOOTBALL . REVIEWS (Continued from Page 22) In smoothing the work of the forward wall, inasmuch .as the two men aside of him at the guard positions will be new players. The 1926 team at De Pauw is made up entirely of sophomores and a few juniors, numbering forty men. Such a condition hardly could be other than gratifying to coaches and student body. To the stuflent body iie statement is generally forthcoming; “We seem 'to have the best football outlook here for a long time.” Besides Tayor at center, two other young men are coming along rapidly and should prove very valuable reserve and one night be shifted to another line position. These two are Davis and Grant. Two men who caused the varsity coaches to become well-acquainted with them last year by their work on the Freshmen team were Howell and Bray. These two are to graduate right into varsity positions at guard this year. Os course they are green, but they were just good enough to help drub the varsity frequently last year. Ellis and Mains are not bad looking material and certainly can be worked in/o reserve stuff that can fit into the lineoip without weakening it. • • • R'“ — " EED, the giant tackle of last year, Is hack. That settles '*■ that Job, as he is playing bang-up ball, and nothing but injuries can stop him from turning in other than a better year than last, riicbaugh Is just about, the best looking bet of the flock of aspirants for the other positions.' He is having a battle, however, with Grant,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Shoup, McFall and Pherslck. Huffman is a man feared by all concerned in a regular berth at tackle, and he may be one of the regulars before long. At the left end, position the Tigers are well fixed, with Anderson, last year’s star and a letter man, back. “Andie” is snagging balls out of the ozone with more certainty and stopping frosh plays around his wing in a manner that Is pleasing to the coaches. * * * ESSERSMITH, who last season performed creditably 1,, at guard, and who carries 180 pounds of bqef, is a man highly pleasing to those who like to pee a big man go fast, and he seems about the logical selection to hold the other wing down. Messy is a demon tackier. Just how well he will fit into the other play required of an end is speculation. He is a junior and the chances are he will be a "whiz” next year. Lovelace is the next best candidate. Morris and Ritter following in ability, it would seem, with Struck, a brother of a former De Pauw grid star, making a bid. Cushman, who was on the injured list most of the 1925 season, is directing tho team in stellar style. “Cush” is “there” at the field director place, and if he survives the injury hazard, then the De Pauw record for the season will advance considerably. He can pass, tackle and run, Is built low to the ground and hard to stop. Steffen, another little fellow, is a good looking reserve player, and Bolton, a half back, can be used if necessary. Fisher, a newcomer into varsity circles but last year a real star on the "Rhinies,” is working as the regular full back. Smith is a plitnger of ability, and Bullard is still another line crasher of Tiger like viciousness. These three men should develop into stellar players.

all a trifle green, but splendid prospects. Sturtridge gives evidence of being ready for a good year. Just what has been the trouble with "Sturdy” in college has mystified his followers who knew and saw him at Emerson and Gary. “Sturdy” is going after his 1926 assignment of making a regular berth in a manner that would indicate he is ready and is going through. If he does, the De Pauw offensive power is going to be forty percent better for he can run and side-step, as well as hurl passes in \Vonder style. • * * mHE man who is next to Sturtridge is Brandenburg. He is a sophomore and his style is Identical with that of his team mate. These two men will be hard to stop. Holton is a clever runner and Gunn ranks next, being a better line smasher off tackle. Scott can fit In and he is about the most valuable and reliable looking prospect of any. Gunn. Sites, Goodman, Bullard, Halstead and Rife are good reserve material, just the caliber needed to round out a squad. Tod Kirk is assisting Hughes with the varsity this year and working the line. L. C. Bucheit, track coach, is aiding with the backfleld. Guy Morrison is freshman coach. De Pauw seems to be in for a winning year, one of the kind back in the Buss days.

CROWN TO TUNNEY | (Continued from Page 22 but he always came back and was forcing Dempsey back with punches that didn’t knock him down but that wore him down. Wills Is Waiting The talk around Philadelphia today was all favorable to Tunney, but the resin smellers of the ring asked among themselves: "Now that he has the championship, what is he going to do with it? Tie has only six months before the New York boxing commission' will be presenting him with a challenge from Harry AVills.” The actions of the passing champ during the first few seconds of each round after the first showed the way things were going. Jack rushed, almost leaped, from his corner at the first bell to carry Tunney clear across the ring with the momentum of his charge. He looked like the Dempsey of Toledo for a moment, and like a real champion he tore at his challenger. Jack landed on the challenger’s jaw. Jack charged in again and Gene slugged him on the chin. After that exchange there were'a few moments of boxing while each considered the results of that first mingling. Then Gene let loose with his right fist thrice and Jack sought to Jab him away. But Gene was not going away Thursday night. He stood up to “Jack the Man Killer,” and in an exchange of mighty blows tho challenger thudded either fist against “the champion’s jaw until Jack was dizzy’. Gene bled a bit from the mouth, and Jack seemed to be hurt. Jack's round, perhaps, because of aggressiveness, but otherwise even. Jack Misses The champion opened the show again in the second round with an-

other rush toward his man. Jack was missing, and Gene was hitting home. A stiff blow to the body’ moved the former Marine backward and Jack was on him in an inatonl only to be jarred away by blows to the head. Rain was falling. Jack slammed his right to Tunney’s body and it hurt. Gene returned a blow with each fist just before the bell. Gene's round. In the third round the effect of Gene’s punches had slowed the champion and Gene was able to employ the tactics he likes best —long range punching standing up straight. A moment later Jack tried to get In close but found those fists on his jaw. He tried again and drummed on Tunney’s body and Gene was drumming in return at the bell. Gene’s round. The fourth round my have been Dempsey’s, always keeping in mind the courtesies due a challenger. Jack had his rush w’ith him when he came out and landed a right which unbalanced the challenger. It hurt Gene and he sought the comfort of distance fighting, poking with his left to keep Jack away. ’ Thenceforth, It was Gene's fight without a moment of doubt. The challenger apparently hail learned all he wanted to know of the cliampion’s power and ability to hurt him during those first four rounds. In the fifth, the mauler was being mauled, (iene began roughing it with Dempsey. .Tack was slower in the sixth, seventh and eighth although still able from time to|time to hurt Tunney with heavy blows to the body. Jack backed away after some of Gene’s hardest blows. Dempsey Groggy M A veneer of new vitality covered the champion-in the beginning of the ninth. He came out, spry and apparently eager and started a right too soon to reach the challenger who was an inch or so out of range. The champion missed two more in close
