PLAYING AFIELD

i--ION’T count those Giants out Tjl in .he hectic struggle now I 1 being waged for the National League pennant. McGraw’s club has come with a rush that is going to be'hard to deny. "I managed a pennant winner and World champions in the St. Louis Cardinals last year, but I think New

York is a better ball club and feel we should win,” was the way RogI ers Hornsby ,expressed himself to me at Sarasota, Fla., training camp of the Giants, last spring. “We have a mighty good team. Give us pretty good pitch-

Evans

ing and we will be tough to beat. And please don't forget, we have John McGraw as our manager." For a couple of months it seemed as if Rogers Hornsby had been entirely too optimistic in his dope on the Giants, even though I realized New York was one of the clubs that had to be beaten in the pennant chase. Injuries and pitching that was a trifle erratic caused New York to be slow in getting full speed ahead. A month Igo the Giants were about ten games out of first place and even the most ardent fan held but little hope for,his favorites. However, the club never once quit, kept plugging away. GREAT SPURT IN AUGUST | r-p IHE break In the race the [ Giants had been looking for, I 1 came with about two-thirds of the schedule completed. The three other contenders had temporary slumps, while New York struck its fastest gait of the year. During August New York won 23 out of 30 games, to stage the best late season rally in the National League. While New York may not win the pennant in the senior circuit, much of the keen interest in the race must be credited to the Giants for the recent remarkable showing they have made, after most of the critics were ready to count the fatal ten on the club. • True, on form, New York faces the toughest going, since the club will be on the road practically the rest of the season. But playing away from home is no longer considered much of a handicap, with the umpires calling them as they see ’em.

McGraw’s club has plenty of poise and lust the proper number of old heads to give it balance and courage, which may be the deciding factors in a close race. CUBS AFTER EXTRA CASH SHESE pennant races make for many a case of "nerves.” since the world series stakes reached mighty fat figures. I am told Owner Wrlgtey of the Chicago Cubs, who would prefer a pennant to the amount the club coffers would be enriched by the world series gate, has offered the club’s end of the receipts to the players, in case the Cubs get Into the series. \ Last year the winning players received each close to $6,000. Each club’s share was around $160,000, which, divided among say twentyseven ball players, would make about $5,000 more for each man. Thus, for the Chicago Cubs to win the pennant and world series this year, would mean that each player would profit to the extent of about sil.ooC. Rumor has it that Mr. Wrigley, In conference with the team, made the ofter lust before the club left on the last Eastern trip. The Cubs then proceeded to let their fairly comfortable lead slip away. If Mr. Wrigley did make the proposition, it may not turn out as he hoped it would, since it may unnerve the team because of the big stakes for which it is gambling, rather than supplying the confidence as he had hoped.

Gene Tunney Goes Into Active Training at Chicago Camp

Indians and Colonels in Two Scraps Warstler Reports for Labor Day Action —Sunday Twin Bill Lost. Thqjndians were back home again today for another one-day stand with the Colonels and a doubleheader was to be staged, first tilt at 2 o’clock. The Hoosiers walloped the Kentucky pastimers here Saturday, 9 to 3, then went to Louisville Sunday and lost a twin bill, 9 to 4, and 9 to 6. Schupp pitched the series opener Saturday and Schemanske, Boone and Koupal did the Tribe flinging Sunday. Burwell, Leverett and Swetonlc were the Indian hurlers available for this afternoon’s action. Young Shortstop Here. The big feature this afternoon was to be the appearance of Harold Warstler at short for the Indians. He is an Indian ‘farm hand,” who has been burning up the -Three-I League as a member of. the Quincy team. Three major league clubs have made substantial offers for Warstler, but Jim Perry, nejy Tribe owner, desires to keep the marvelous young Buckeye op the local roster. The Inmans created some excitement in Louisville Sunday when they got five runs after two out in the last inning of the second struggle, but the Colonels changed pitchers, Cullop relieving Deberry, and the rally was stopped. College Lefty Delivers Malcolm Moss, sensational college southpaw, trimmed the Betzelites in the opening battle Sunday, holding them to seven hits. The Colonels got thirteen hits in the first fray and fourteen in the nightcap. The Indians collected twelve higgles in the second encounter. Following today’s bargain attraction at Washington Park the Indians will depart for Columbus and the Colonels will go to Toledo. After a round of struggles with the Senators the Tribesmen will visit Toledo and Louisville before returning home to close the season in series with Senators and Hens at Washington Park.

WITH LOCAL BOWLERS By Lefty Lee ■ ■

The lid is to be pryed off the 192728 bowling season this week. ’During the summer all of the established houses had their alleys put In shape for the season’s grind, and in addition, three new recreation centers were erected. An increase in organized leagues of about 40 per cent is the result of the activities, and one of the greatest years in the history of city bowling is looked forward to. Some fast leagues have been formed and plenty of entertainment for the railbirds has beri promised. Outstanding among the fast loops Is the City League at the Elks Club alleys. Century League, Capitol No. 1 League, Recreation League and the revival of the Indianapolis League, which will roll at Pritchett’s Recreation, are other fast circuits. Some of the teams that probably will be closely’ watched will be the Silver Plash, Marott's, Century Alley Five, the Schott family, composed of "Nan,” “Chuck” and "Eddie” Schott, Bill Sargent and Dan Abbott. One young tem, composed of Kramer, Holtz, Sturm, Van Buren, Eder and Schulte, have the ear-

Kino of Heavies Puts Out ‘Welcome’ Mat to Fight Fans. DEMPSEY WORKS- HARD Small Forfeits Posted by ‘Big Time’ Boys. By CLARK B. KELSEY, United Press Staff Correspondent CHISAGO, Sept. s.—Gene Tunney unpacked the “welcome” mat from the bottom of his trunk today and laid it on his training camp doorstep to inform the world the hea.yweight champion was ready to be seen in action. Busses and private automobiles formed a procession this morning along the concrete ribbon leading to Tunney’s Lake Villa training camp fifty miles from town ' and fight enthusiasts were to see the genteel pugilist box-this afternoon for the first time since he came West. To Keep Training Tunney has been loafing industriously since he arrived In Chicago Friday, but he was to resume active training today and keep at It until he meets Jack Dempsey, Sept. 22. * Workouts at the Tunney camp will be open to the public on the usual basis of sl.lO admission “to control the attendance.” The champion probably will follow his custom of donating the receipts to charity. Part of the training revenue, It was announced, will be used to pay the hospital bill of a motorcycle policeman Injured in an accident while escorting Tunney's car to Lake Villa. On the Other side of. the city, Dempsey to work with his fighters and Sunday’s * performance attracted a crowd of 7.000. Jack entertained the spectators by “taking It.” He was practicing to avoid left Jabs, according to the best Information. Small Forfeits Benny Kruger, the German, My Sullivan of St. Paul, and Allentown Joe Gans boxed with the- former champion and the middleweights and welters kept him stepping fast. Only $30,000 will be posted as forfeits to guarantee appearance of the priqplpals at the $3,000,000 event, it was announced. The State boxing commission has taken the attitude that there are no controversies existing and there is no reason for a larger forfeit. Tunney’s share will be $20,000 and Dempsey’s SIO,OOO.

marks of a fast traveling outfit and evidently will have a strong following. It looted,'like mid-season at Jess Pritchett's opening Saturday afternoon. All the bowlers dropped In to-give the new layout the “once over.” Os course, most of .the boys were smitten with “bowlltis” and had to roll a couple to try the new drives out. The Uptown Recreation Alleys opened their plant at Forty-Second and College Ave. Saturday noon, and “Fay” Bailey, popular manager of these drives, reported a steady stream of friends until the house closed for'the night. This establishment has ten alleys. One of the outstanding features is the absence of posts between the alleys, the entre floor being without a post. "Fay” Bailey, Walter Wheeler and Harry Kines are the men who put this venture over and we feel certain it will prove a success. Some fine early season scores are being produced by those fellows willing to work a little to engage in their favorite winter pastime. At the Indiana alleys, McCaslin rolled a 287 game. Over at the Capitol alleys. “Dude” West has been hitting them in fine style and “Woody” and John Thompson are threatening to quit playing with him. Recently “Dude” rolled games of 223, 223 and 222 for a total of 668. That’6 consistency. Fishback rolling the first ball at the opening of Pritchett’s alleys hit the 1-3 pocket and secured a strike. Chris Rassmussen showed the boys the possibilities of these drives when he rolled 267. Mrs. Weisman also tried out Pritchett’s drives and showed the women what to expect from her this season. She had a 232. The Fourteen Club Washington League, will open its season at the Illinois alleys at 8:30 Friday night. The teams which will roll ,in this loop are: Schmitt Ins., Rockwood Mfg., Chancellor Cigar, Prospect Social Club, Wheeler Lunch, Union Tire Cos., Board of Trade, Baldwin Piano Cos., Theta Gamma Sigma, Coco Cold, Watkins Rebabbitting Service, Oeftering-Litzelman Coal Cos., Goebes Jewelry and Noblesville.. Milling Cos. i There are a few openings left in the Uptown Ladies’ League and any of the women bowlers interestsed should get in touch with Fay Bailey. This league bowls Thursday afternoons. The City League has openings for two'fast clubs. Teams desiring to enter should get in touch with Weinman at the Elks Club alleyes. The Cleveland (Ohio) team was returned the winner of the National Federation of Postofflce Clerks tourney staged at the Indiana alSunday afternoon, with games of 838, 886 and 890, a total of 2,614. The great work of Gedeon in the final game made the victory possible. He had a 256. Indianapolis No. 1 team finished second with 2,580, secured on games of 868, 873 and 839. Teams from St. Louis, Cincinnati, Dayton, Louisville, Chicago and Sidney, Ohio, also rolled. * PENNANT ASSURED TULSA, Okla., Sept. s.—Tulsa wac assured of the pennant in the Western League as a result of a 10-to-3 victory over Amarillo, while Wichita lost .to..

THE TIMES

Jack Knocked Firpo Down Dempsey’s Greatest Knockouts > 8 Times Before Winning

OATE all you wish of the Corbett-Sulllvan, the Sharkey-Jeffries and the Johnson-Willard fights, but most experts agree that the Firpo-Dempsey fight at the Polo Grounds in September, 1923, was one of the thrillers of all times. Dempsty knocked the Argentine bull down eight times. He, himself, was dropped to his knees once and, another time, catapulted out of the ring into the arms of newspaper men. All of this, mind you, in less than two rounds. Firpo was sent down for the eighth and last time after the second round had been on fifty-seven seconds. Dempsey was dropped, to one knee, first, a right to the jaw by Firpo sending him down. Coming out of a clinch, Dempsey hooked a left to Firpo’s jaw that sent the Argentine down for a count of two. A heavy left sent him down again. Another left sent 'him down for a count of nine. Three rights to the head sent him down three more times. Dempsey then became bewildered. As he lunged forward, Firpo’s right caught Dempsey and sent Win out of the ring. Nine was counted before he was able to get back in! Both fighters were tired, Firpo probably more tired than Jempsey as they rested between rounds. As the round started. Dempsey, cool, hooked a blow to Firpo’s jaw, followed by two to the body, and down he went. A right tc *he jaw sent him down again. He took a count of five. A left hook to the jaw with a right hook to the same spot, a perfect one-two drive, ended Firpo’s heavyweight aspirations just fifty-seven seconds after the round had started.

Hunter, Wimbledon champions, were to oppose “Little Bill” Johnston and R. Norris Williams. While it was the opinion of mar y the team which was victorious today would carry the United States .standard in the Davis Cup doubles, there remained a feeling that both teams would be broken up, regardless of the outcome, and Tilden and Johnston, tHb old reliables, paired together. The astonishing play of “Little Bill” Johnston In Saturday’s match against the two Davis Cup alternates, Lott and Doeg, has Increased the demand for him to team with Tilden. Johnston’s play was even a surprise to his closest friends. None thought him capable of playing such terrific tennis on such short notice. He has been in the East only a short while. The French are In a quandry over the selection of their doubles team. La Coste Is off his game. Cochet and Borotra have been playing well together, but It Is said the team will be broken up for psychological reasons. It was said to be the opinion of those connected with the French team both are too “high-strung” to play together in the Davis Cup round. La Coste and Borotra probably will pair together and Cochet and Brugnon, but which team will represent France in the doubles' match at Germantown Is undecided.

Yankee Poloists Slight Favorite By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. s.—The first international polo match at Meadow Brook Club, Westbury, L. 1., next Saturday commands the attention of the social world as the banner event of the year. For the first time in three years the British and American polo teams will meet for the trophy which was first contested for in 1866. The British team won an overwhelming victory that season, but in late years the United States has shown superiority. The British have not won since 1914.
