Playing the Field

•With Billy Evan#

I 1 N my stops at the various big I sport centers of the country, | 1 | I find considerable difference of opinion relative to the merits of the three leading heavyweights,

Gene Tunrtey, Jack Sharkey and Jack Dempsey. Fistic writers lean to Jack Sharkey; that is, a majority of them believe he has ah excellent chance to beat both Dempsey and champion Tunney. On the other hand, fighters who should know

Evans

their stuff feel that Sharkey would win from Dempsey, but don’t like his chances against Tunney. “Fight' fans do not appreciate Tunney,”. remarked a former champion when 1 asked him how he viewed the heavyweight . situation, “He’s a real lighter. “Turpiey doesn’t impress, because his style is studied, methodical. He isn’t a chance-taker. His best punching is done while in close, 'of his most effective punches Escape the eyes of the spectators.” I have seen Sharkey in action three times, .fudging him on those §howings, T v oulcl say he has an excellent chance of being the next heavyweight champion. r-—n'T the halfway mark in the A major league season, July 4, the New York Americans enH lead of 11% games. On foi‘m that makes the club a positive favorite. However, seven other clubs in the league, with a hope of keeping the race from becoming a mere processiop point to the showing the Yankees made last season as one definite reason why it isn’t all over but the shouting. Last' season, New York suffered a near collapse in the final month of play and just managed to stagger across the line a winner. Additional hope that the Yankees may be stopped in their mad dash for the pennant lies in the crippled pitching-staff which the New York club brings west. Solar this season New York has received much better pitching than -.vds-expeeted from its staff of veterans. 7 ■ ——-I AITE HOYT, who suffered \Y/| from a bad arm most of last vv season, is ailing again. The trouble is in the elbow and is regarded as 'very serious. In his last i three starts Hoyt has been knocked ; out of the box. a A line drive that struck Herb just above the heart is! causing the slender southpaw considerable trouble. His chest is so sore' that it is impossible for him to throw without pain. The latest victim of the jinx that has been pursuing the Yankee staff for a month was the injury suffered by Urban Shocker. An X-ray showed severalr'broken bones in the foot. ; He Wtflf' be out at least six weeks. With three, veteran stars on the hospital, list, the Yankees may need j the commanding lead now enjoyed to stay in front. A lead of a dozen games is a fat working margin, but bad pitching can soon fritter it away.

Major League Comment ,

(Jharley . Root, ace of the Chicago Cubst pitching staff, held the Pittsburgh Pirates to only one hit, permitting Chicago to win, 1-0. The victory gave, the cubs a game and a half lead over Pittsburgh in the National League pennant race. Lee Meadows-.pitched against Root and was 'effective, keeping eights hits well scattered. NEW YORK Yankees divided a double-header with Detroit, losing fcthe first game, 11-8, and winning *the second, 10-8. In the second game Babe Ruth hit his twentyseventh home run of the season. Second and third innings rallies which gave Boston seven runs gave the Red Sox sufficient margin to enable the mto win from the Chicago White Sox, 11-5. Neither Blankenship nor Faber were effective. Tris Speaker, hitting effectively, aided materially in breaking Washington’s losing streak and the Senators defeated Cleveland in both ends of a double-header, 7-4 and 4-3. Lefty Grove ran his season’s strike-out decord to 105 by striking out seven men as the Philadelphia Athletics defeated the St. Louis Browns, 7-5. Sam Jones permitted thirteen Philadelphia hits in seven innings. Gibson’s third consecutive single scored high, after a triple in the sixth Inning, and permitted the Braves to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals-, 3-2. Greenfield kept the Ten St. Louis hits well scattered. .Critzand Hargreave singled in the eleventh inning to bring in three ?runs, thus permitting Cincinnati to '‘.defeat Philadelphia, 8-5. .

‘Too Easy to Hit/ Is Verdict as Former Champ • Trains. SPEED SHOWS DECLINE Delaney Calls and May Spar Few Rounds. Bn United- Press WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS. N. Y., July 9.—Although Jack Dempsey has exhibited a spirited punch in hi sworkouts thus far, his defensive tactics have failed to please his handlers and a thorough course in keeping the other fellow away faces the former heavyweight champion. The word has gone out that Dempsey “is too easy to hit,” for a boxer-fighter of the Jack Sharkey type. In Friday’s workout, Dempsey floored Italian Joe Herman and Pete Corri, but seemed slower than usual. Herman, until he was knocked out, was landing more blows than the ex-champion. Leo Flynn, manager, announced Dempsey would rest Sunday and then continue to work every day until the 20th, when he will leave for New York. He battles Starkey July 21. Jack Delaney, world’s light heavyweight champion, has arrived at the training camp and may put on the gloves for a round or two of friendly sparring in a day or two. Delaney declined to comment on Dempsey’s condition after watching him for a while Friday. "" “ ’ ‘

That appeals to the arderit follower:) of the mitt sport. Emil Baksic, big Gary lad, who fights at the Ft. Harrison arena next Tuesday night, is the type fistic fans “take to” at the first glance. Built “from the ground up.” resembling a college football player more than a fighter, Baksic arouses enthusiasm.
