Playing
the Field
■With Billy Evans -
ECENTLY while making a jump from Boston to St. Louis on the same train with two American League clubs, I had a chance to study the players as to how they deported themselves off the field. • I was struck with the decided contrast as to how the players of today whiled ngAhv away their hours, : compared with IBs '* < those of twenty iff ' J|) years ago. While ISpPgf |pf games of chance are still a favorstakes and the Evans games played. Twenty years ago, as the train pulled out of the station on one of the long jumps, at least three games of draw poker would be in operation within a half hour. Asa rule the games and their personnel had been planned prior to the start. The “piker” game, so-called, would be a two-bit limit. Another set would be playing stud poker, say a dollar limit with two dollars on the last card. The third table would either be table stakes or a two dollar blind tiger, the pot always P As a rule a dice game would be in operation in the rest room with big money passing hands. As I watched the two presentday teams get settled for the long ride, I marveled at the difference between them and the old-timers. OOKER, once the favored game of big league ball players to kill the time, is no longer very popular. Three other games of chance, bridge, hearts and “rummy ’ have supplanted draw poker and its variations. I would say bridge was by far the most popular of the three. A small limit is played and there is little chance for a player to suffer a financial hardship, even if things break badly. A number of major league managers are very strict about the gambling limits and, in some cases, they themselves set it very low, to eliminate the trouble that invariably results when one or more in the game get badly stung. I know one former star player, now a big league manager, who admitted his winnings in poker and dice reached $7,800 one season. That was S3OO more than he received 'in actual salary. Doing away with the big stakes has been an excellent thing for discipline and morale on ail major league clubs. On most clubs African golf is banned. Wells to Washington I'.u T'nitccf Pres* DETROIT, July 20.—Edwin Wells, a southpaw pitcher, was released Tuesday to the Washington Senators on waivers by the Detroit Tigers. Wells is a product of Bethany College, West Virginia, and last year pitched 31 consecutive scoreless innings for Detroit.

Heavyweights Rest in New York Awaiting Crucial Struggle
Meyer Grace Easy Victor Over Finley Drubs Louisville Scrapper at Ft. Harrison —Wiggins Carded Next Week. Some entertaining exhibitions of the art of fisticuffs were presented ?,500 fans at the Ft. Harrison “punch bowl” Tuesday. Meyer Grace, Philadelphia 147-pounder, and Jimmy Finley, well-known Louisville coun-ter-puncher, tangled in the headliner, and although a trifle onesided the bout provided some real action. Grace once again demonstrated he has the stuff. Although he failed to plant Finley on the canvas even once he flashed a brilliant array of punches and showed the Kentuckian more styles of left and right handed clouts than that young man had witnessed in some time. It was all Grace from the opening bell. Finley gained an edge in only one round, the seventh. Clark Is Loser Jimmy Hackley, Los Angeles lightweight, struck Ehrman Clark, Indianapolis., an unintentional low blow in the opening round of their eight-round semi-windup. The fight was stopped and resumed after the main event. Hackley packed a stiff wallop and took the decision. Fighting Willie Yap, aggressive little Chinaman, planted a couple of hard lefts in Shifty Lewis’ “pantry” and the Indianapolis scrapper went down for good in the second round.

Odds Continue in Sharkey’s Favor Despite Dempsey’s Great Confidence. THEY MEET THURSDAY Dopesters Uncertain About Tactics of Boston Pug. BY HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 20.—Jack Dempsey and Jack Sharkey, the principals in another one of Tex Rickard's million - dollar shows, billed for the Yankee stadium Thursday night, were resting today near the scene of battle. Sharkey finished his work Tuesday in the hot house on the top of Madison Square O *den and Dempsey came in today from White Sulphur Springs, where he trained for what he hopes to be his great comeback. While the trainers of the two fighters were planning to put their charges through the last limbering up exercise, the fatigued clerks in Rickard's office were laboring through a basket full of last order demands for a “seat in the front row.” Seat Sale Enormous Rickard’s private office was too busy to figure any definite sum on the advance sales, but A1 Luce, his business manager, said he was sure they had taken in more than SBOO,000 and the unreserved seats have not been placed on sale yet. Sharkey was still an eight to five favorite in the betting today. Commissioners who take and place bets predicted that the Boston heavyweight might be better than two to one before they enter the ring. The rumor about Dempsey's crippled left arm, which has been exaggerated, has influenced the betting odds. If there is anything the matter with Dempsey’s left arm or his right arm or his left leg or his right leg, this writer is as blind as a bat. Leo Flynn, Dempsey's manager, did say in Saratoga in the presence of the writer that Dempsey’s muscles had been sore and that bandages were used on him at night, but he certainly did not say there was anything serious. Feels Sure of Strength Dempsey repeated Tuesday night that he expected to win in less than four rounds, but if the fight had to go the limit he was sure he could win the decision. “I don't know where they get the idea that I can’t go more than a few rounds,” Dempsey said. “Kweiv. twelve hard rounds against ' Bill Brennan and I went Fifteen rounds against Tom Gibbons and don’t let anyone tell you that Gibbons was a cinch then. “That stuff about my bad arm is the bunk. I feel just as well now as I did before the Firpo fight and you newspapermen seem to think that that was my best fight.” While there is a lot of Sharkey talk in the air there hasn't been as much betting as usually can be expected on a big fight. The smart money knows how Dempsey will fight, because he never has fought any other way. Sharkey would be a four to one choice if he went out to make a distance fight of it, but he’s no better than an even money bet if he goes out to slug with the former ! champion. Dempsey Best Puncher | Dempsey isn’t any hollow shell and he’s in good shape and as long as Dempsey is able to stand on his feet he can knock out any heavyweight in the business with one punch. Sharkey is no one punch killer and he has been defeated more times than Dempsey. If he elects to trade punches with Dempsey he will get the worst of the trade unless he has some hidden dynamite that he hasn’t shown up to this time.

July 20. - Bruno Betzel's Hoosiers followed their second-division habits Tuesday by getting as many hits as Ihs opposition, but losing the ball game. The score was 4 to 3, Kansas Cltv, Each team got eight safeties. Two contests were carded this afternoon, first struggle at 2:00. A single fray Thursday will end the Indians’ visit and they will hustle away to the far east end of the A. A. to combat Columbus and Toledo before they return to Indianapolis, July 30. Ruined in Eighth Oh, yes, the Tribe let a lead slip away from them again Tuesday and they were ruiifcd In the eighth, the same inning the Blues “did it to ’em” Monday. The score was 3 to 2 in the Hoosiers’ favor when K. C. decided "now’s the lime.” Wamby walked and was forced by Freigau. Hauser singled, sending Freigau to third. Smith doubled, scoring Freigau and putting Hauser on third. Now follow closely. Winning Run is Gift McGowan sent a bounder to Holke and the Tribe first sacker pegged out Hauser at the plate. McGowan kept running and Snyder tossed to Betzel, and Smith, who reached third on McGowan's roller, dashed for the plate to score the winning run. Betzel tried to cut him down, but the K. C. runner was there ahead of the ball. Ferd Schupp opposed Jimmy Zlnn, one of the league’s very best, on the mound Tuesday and pitched good enough to win, but the breaks went the other way. The Indians got two singles and a triple In the sixth, but got only two runs out of the rally. Connolly hit the triple. He also poled a single during the day. Holke was the only other Hoosier to find a safe spot twice. The Blues counted twice In the first inning, but deserved only one marker. With one out and Moore on second, Freigau singled, scoring Moore, and Freigau took secon when Layne made a useless throw to the plate. Hauser fanned and Smith singled, scoring Freigau. McGowan walked and Yoter threw out Nicholson. If Freigau had not been given an extra sack on Laync’s throw he would have been left on base. The poor Indians are out of luck, it seems. When they get good pitching they manage to get nosed out by mental mistakes or errors. Giving two runs away against the Blues with Zinn pitching is suicide.
