Vociferous Welcome Given Champion Gene Tunney on Arrival in Chicago

Heavyweight King Is Expected to Start Active Training on Monday. . DEMPSEY WORKS AGAIN Jack Labors to Perfect Defense in Drill. BY CLARK B. KELSEY United Free* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 2.—ln spite of the fact Gene Tunney hat" In the opinion and parlance of sportdom, he today received the vociferous, back-slapping welcome which r.he more democratic Jack Dempsey avoided because of his wife’s illness when he came to town. The heavywelgffu champion stayed away from Chicago until the "last minute,” prefering tq remain in his camp at Speculator, N. Y., but he arrived today to get acquainted with the individuals who are paying some $3,000,000 to see him box Dempsey Sept. 22. There was a reception committee, unofficial welcoming delegations, brass bands, speeches, a parade and all the usual accouterments of such an auspicious event. Parade to Camp After preliminaries at the railroad station, Tunney went to the city hall where leading politicians, citizens and members of the marine corps held a reception in his honor. Prom there, they paraded through the west side and through northwest suburbs to Tunney’s training camp at Cedar Crest, near Antioch, 111. As Tunney’s automobile moved north in La Salle St. between the great banks and brokers’ offices that mike it the “Wall Street of the West,” showers of ticker tape were sent down from the buildings and the crowd grew in'size and frenzy. After looking over the camp, the champion returned to the city, was photographed and was to play golf until Monday when he is expected to start active training. His plans were not definitely announced, however. Tunney’s camp is located on Lake Villa, a populous resort northwest of town, and is about seventy miles from Dempsey’s training quarters, Lincoln Fields race track south of the city. Golf for Jack Dempsey announced he would do no boxing today, £e worked out Thursday and Wednesday with sparring partners, but is trying to avoid overtraining. With three weeks to go before the bout, he feels he can come to a peak of form gradually. He planned to devote the day to golf, after a little roadwork early in the morning. Hi,? workout Thursday showed him laboring to perfect his defense. He took on three smaller, lighter men, and had them popping fast lefts at his head, while he moved in and out in his old familiar style, slipping and blocking punches, occasionally whipping over a hard right cross, or stiff left to the Jaw. Crowds have swarmed • to the Dempsey camp for the past few days. Wednesday about 4,000 persons watched him, and Thursday more than 2,500 were present, it cost each of the spectators sl.lO.

Infighting Led to Punches

Dempsey’s Greatest Knockouts

That Put French Idol Out

r—"IERRIFIC Infighting, with many solid smashes to the Jaw and IT heart, won for Champion Jack Dempsey over colorful Georges 1, 1 | Carpentier, idol of France, at Jersey City in July, 1921. I The end came in the fourth round, one minute and sixteen seconds after it had started, and a right smash to the Jaw put the Frenchman down and out. Fighting tigerishly, at his best at close quarters, Dempsey easily won the first round. The second was Carpentier’s round. He hooked Dempsey with a left and dazed the champion. He followed it with a \ crushing right and it was apparent to the 90,000 fans that Dempsey was troubled. But over-anxiety to end the fight caused Carpentier to misa many blows—and also made him lose his chance to leave the ring wearing Dempsey’s title. The third was Dempsey’s round. Infighting again proved the feature, and the round ended with Dempsey superior. A right to the jaw sent Carpentier down for a count of nine. Many thought this was the end. A right to the heart that slipped under Caipentier’s left arm toppled the latter inert to the floor, head down. Then the finish—-a right to the jaw. It was not a popular victory, for Carpentier had been the sentimental favorite to win over the champion.

Cubs Pushed Out of First Place Berth Bucs Slam 4-3 Defeat at Chicago in Important Tilt., By United Press The eccentricities of the percentage column put the Pittsburgh Pirates in first place in the National League, following their 4-to-3 victory over the Cubs Thursday. The latter were tied with the Pirates on a game basis, however. Pittsburgh won the crucial contest by a hard attack on Carlson in the second inning. They scored two runs and the Cubs never caught up. The Bruins tried desperately to tie the score in the ninth and had one run in and another on base with two needed. Twc pinch hitters failed in the emergency however. No other National League games were played. Cleveland! hits were better timed ihan the White Soxs’ and eight Cleveland runs were recorded to five for Chicago. Hudlin won the game for Cleveland, but he allowed thirteen hits. Tigers and the Browns were tied, 4 and 4 at the end of the ninth by reason of a two-run St. Louis rally in that inning. Detroit retaliated by scoring four in the tenth and won the game, 8 to 4. Games Today AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Minneapolis at St. Paul. Tojjdo at Milwaukee (two games).

Stirring Days in National, (Continued From Page 22) aAfar as Cincinnati hopes were concerned, yet may play a most important if somewhat belated, part in the final outcome. The relative merits of the four contenders is just about as hard to determine on Sept. 2 as on April 12. The Pittsburgh Pirates seem to have the best-balanced ball club of the four, when attending to business. The St. Louis Cardinals, crippled with injuries, appear to have the best pitching staff. The New York Giants probably have the best infield and perhaps the highest type of fighting spirit of the quartet. The Chicago Cubs had the best team-work up until their recent slump. Joe McCarthy seems to have overworked a pitching staff which was second to none. Giants Are Feared Whatever advantage accrues to a club from playing the critical closing games of the season on its home grounds will be shared impartially by the Cubs, Cards and Pirates. The New York Giants must finish up with a long road trip through the enemy-infested West. And yet the Giants, if the truth be known, are the most-feared ball club of the lot. “The club which beats the Giants Wins this year’s flag,” said Joe McCarthy sorrowfully after a disastrous series at the Polo Grounds. Since all three of the leading western contenders feel capable of turning the trick, the latter days of September should see baseball history written in large, red letters.
