X>LAYING -1 the FIELD With Billy Evans-——

r— —iITCHER TED LYONS of the D Chicago White Sox, is, to me, I the greatest stylist in the game. Not only is Lyons the perfect stylist but as effective a twirler as there is in the majors. Lyons leaves nothing to be desired in prefect rhythm, unusual

grace and a world of stufT. He is just about the last word in thwart of pitching. As Bobby Jones goes about his golf in a workmanlike manner that makes his brilliant performance seem almost automatic, so perfect are his precision and style, so does Ted Lyons g o through the pitching motions.

m IMP ;.v* Tm

Evans

The career of Ted Lyons in baseball reads like a Action plot for a baseball thriller. Back in 1923 Ray Schalk, during the spring training trip of the Chicago White Sox in Texas, saw Lyons pitching for Baylor University. He was impressed, so much that, in street clothes, he donned a catcher’s glove and worked out with Lyons for about ten minutes. That evening Lyons was signed to a Chicago contract. Coming direct to the majors from college, he won two games and lost one during the fag end of the 1923 season. Since then he has been a consistent winner. RECORD FOR SEASON mHE other day in my mail came a contribution from a Chicago fan who signed his letter "Arcol,” containing some interesting data on the work of Lyons for this year, which I have every reason to believe is authentic. He

says: “Noting you have often spoken in the highest terms of Ted Lyons, whom I regard as the greatest pitcher in the game, I am taking the liberty of sending you some unusual and unique records that will help bear out my contention as to the ability of Lyons. “Up to the games of Sept. 8, Lyons had been able to break only even before the Sox fans in Chicago, losing eight while winning the same number, while on foreign fields he won t .irteen and lost only two, both defeats coming at Dunn Field in Cleveland, by the scores of 3-2 and 1-0. He has yet to taste defeat in six American League parks this season. “While the White Sox have been very unsuccessful in the East, Lyons had won eight victories and suffered no defeats in the games he had pitched in that section.” In connection with the ten defeats suffered by Lyons, up to Sept. 8, I noted that four of them were handed him by Cleveland.

Big Four Fight Train to Park Near Stadium

The Big Four has arranged some high class service for customers of its "fight special" to Chicago Thursday.

Indians and Senators in Double Bill Hurt on tribe Mound Here Today; Leverett in Form Tuesday. A double-header this afternoon was to wind up the series between Indians and Senators, on Thursday the Tribesmen will rest and on Friday Toledo will be here to battle the Betzelites. The season closes Sunday. Wallie Hurt, local sandlotter, was to start on the Tribe mound in one of today’s struggles. He was signed for a tryout after pitching sensational ball for the Illinois Central and Acme A. A. teams. It was easy for the Indians Tuesday, the home pastimers - winning 12 to 2, with Dixie Leverett in grand form. The veteran righthander allowed the Senators only three hits while Meeker, Columbus southpaw, got touched for sixteen. Leverett surprised the few onlookers by getting four hits himself In five efforts. Harold Warstler, kid shortstop, accepted eight of nine chances and poled a home run and single. His circuit swat went out near the flag pole. Doljak Columbus rookie, clouted a homer off Leverett In the ninth. The Indians enjoyed a fat Inning In the first round and scored four runs. The Senators’ defense was below standard throughout the fracas and Manager Wlngo Inserted some rookies after the contest got out of reach. McCann, regular Columbus second sacker, was banished in the fourth inning for fussing with Umpire Derr.

Fight Critic Bases Belief on Fine Condition of ExChamp. BETTING ODDS CHANGE Challenger May Be Favorite by Thursday Night. By HENRY L. FARRELL United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 21. After watching the two fighters in training and after considering the motives in the open letter writing preliminaries, the betting, weathei and all other factors, it is the opinion of the writer Jack Dempsey will regain the heavyweight championship of the world when he meets Gene Tunney here Thursday night. The opinion is based primarily on the belief Dempsey, in proper condition, always has been a better fighter than Tunney and on the belief Dempsey now is in perfect conditjpn, mentally and physically. Dempsey’s work In his training camp certainly was more impressive than that of the champion’s, but It must be recalled Tunney wasn’t Impressive in his work before the fight last year in Philadelphia. Gene Also In Shape Tunney never has been a flashy gymnasium fighter and Dempsey instinctively gives a great show every time he puts the gloves on, but physical condition always can be observed In sparring bouts, and Dempsey surely has shown in his training that he is in condition. Tunney also has given the appearance of perfect health and poise. But on the assumption that the two contestants are in perfect fighting condition, the verdict has to be given to Dempsey because he Is a natural fighter. The betting odds are changing and it Is quite probable that Dempsey will be the favorite when he goes in the ring. The switch in the betting, however, is not too significant. It means principally that Dempsey is the popular favorite, that the bettors figure he Is in fine fighting condition and that he is still the champion. The weather factor Is entering the discussion. Some of the experts figure that cold weather or rain, such as poured down on the fighters in Philadelphia, will help Tunney. Weather Enters Argument Tunney, living for months In the New York mountains, probably can get less chill out of the atmosphere than Dempsey, who is a Californian, but Dempsey did a lot of his training p.t night when it was chii.y enough for the spectators at his camp to wear coats. Flynn, Luvadis, Wilson and the other high minds of the Dempsey camp say—and they are ’jetting heavily also on it—that Dempsey will win in a few rounds if Tunney will fight. But Tunney certainly will not be a reckless bravado like Sharkey was. Tunney, beyond doubt, will fight like Sharkey should have fought. His strategy will be to keep Dempsey’s legs working, on the assumption that Dempsey will kill himself, but the smart Jimmy Bronson, who is going to handle the champion, knows that Dempsey, after a terrible first two rounds, was much stronger than Sharkey was at the finish of the fight. The sum-up, In our opinion, Is all a matter of condition. Dempsey Is In condition, and Dempsey In condition always has been a better fighter than Tunney.

Major League Comment

An opportunity to regain half a game of their lead in the National League was given the Pirates today, as their game with Brooklyn was the only one scheduled In the senior circuit. They lost again to the Dodgers Tuesday, leaving them with a lead of but three games. Bill Doak duplicated Dazzy Vance’s shutout of the Pirates Tuesday and made it still more impressive by holding the Pirates to two hits. Although Meadows and Dawson pitched well, the Dodgers’ seven hits were bunched. The score was 3 to 0. The Giants’ lay-off gave the Cards an opportunity to go into a tie for second place and they made the most of it, defeating the Phils 5 to 4. The game almost was lost in the fifth when Philadelphia rallied for three runs to tie the score. The Cards put two men across in the seventh, however, to clinch the game. Hafey clouted a homer in the seventh. After the Braves had scored four runs before the end of the first inning, Jones relieved Weinert for the Cubs and his pitching, coupled with an attack on Morrison, gave Chicago an ultimate victory of 8 to 5. The score was tied 5-5 from the end of the second inning until the seventh, when the Cubs forged ahead. Including today’s game, Pittsburgh has twelve games left on Its schedule. The Giants have ten and the Cards ten.

| Counterfeit ticket scare grows as Rickard announces second “ring” flooding city with bogus cards. Dempsey and Tunney, resting for fight, both predict victory and seem confident. Weather man predicts chilly, but probably fair, night for battle, promising more definite forecast. Fighters stop interchange of "hostile” letters through newspapers, leaving question of whether correspondence was publicity stunt unsolved. Question of referee excites much interest. Boxing commission announces plan to have half a dozen at ringside and announce selection just before fight. Long conference of fight managers and promoters with boxing commission leads to report of dispute over whether hands of boxors will be taped in dressing rooms or ring. Charges of Jess Willard’s suporters Dempsey had pounds of tape on hands at Toledo fight In 1919 relived. Liquor supply holds up despite raids by Federal prohibition agents, and price increases are reported only nominal. Dempsey said to be holding out for Lytton for referee Miller is agreeable. Eckersall may be chosen as a compromise candidate. Tunney and Dempsey forces not only are deadlocked on the matter of referee, but also, apparently, on bandages. The commission Tuesday declared: “Contestants will be limited to thirty feet of soft gauze bandage, fifteen feet for e&cl hand, supplied by the commission. No more than three layers of white tape, supplied by the commission, will be allowed to hold the gauze in place and no layer of tape must overlap another more than one-eighth of an inch. Bandages may be put on in the dressing room, but the gloves muit be put on fn the ring. Before the gloves are put on the bandages of botn fighters must be examined by the referee and inspector.”
