Quinn’s remarkable record is deserving of praise. It stands to reason he cannot go on for many years more, so slip the fans some kind words about this great veteran when he is still hitting on all six.” While a bitter rivalry exists between Washington and Philadelphia, that is the gist of a letter I recently received from a Washington fan relative to the veteran twirler. Caused Internal Scrap E HANKS for the suggestion, Mr. Washington, even though the idea isn’t exactly new, for at various times I, as well as other .writers, have sting the praises of Jack Quinn as a pitcher. While it isn’t generally known, Jack Quinn was the innocent cause of internal dissension In the American League, that ultimately resulted in the passing of the national commission and in a sense undermined the power of President Ban Johnson. Let us go back ten years to get the atmosphere of the war days and Its relation to the status of baseball. Since many of the younger stars were summoned to war, b eball had to fall back upon the old timers. A majority of the minor leagues Suspended, even the majors one year cut the season short. Among the minors to suspend early in 1918 was the Pacific Coast League. Jack Quinn was a member of the Vernon club of that league. The Chicago White- Sox, in need of pitchers, received permission of the Vernon club to use Quinn, who was then nearly 34 years of age. Yankees Given Hurler SIE New York Yankees at that time had a working agreement with the Vernon club, whereby players were sent to that team, giving New York first choice on the stars of the club for the following year. Quinn’s fine work caused New York to select him as part payment in a certain deal- In the meantime, Chicago figured it had closed for the player. Both filed claims, but Quinn was awarded New York. This caused Owner Comiskey of Chicago to feel he was being discriminated against, even though all three members of the national commission voted in favor of New York, as I understand it. A fight on the national commission later, waged by' the National League, also had the backing of the Chicago club in the American, which in the end caused anew form of baseball government to arise. Thus, Quinn unconsciously was responsible for the biggest upheaval in baseball, since his good pitching caused two clubs to fight for his services, making the losing club sore. Quinn is one of the few spitball pitchers still in the game, but he probably could pitch just as effectively if forced to discard it.

Gene Tunney Sits on World's Heavyweight Throne By Right of Conquest
Toledo Hens in City for Five Gaines Visitors Still Have Pennant Chance; Brewers Lead by One Tilt. Thursday’s games failed to change the situation in the red he* American Association pennant race and the Brewers still were on top this morning with Toledo second and Kansas City third. Casey Stengel’s Hens, who open a series with the Indians here today, are only one game back of che lead ing Milwaukee team and local fans are assured of seeing the Stengel pastimers at their btst during then stay at Washington Park. Owing to the fact the Hens still have a pennant chance, Manager Betzel will use his Tribe regulars In all battles, to avoid any criticism from Milwaukee and Kansas City. If the Hens drop back while hero the Indian rookies will be given a chance to show in one of the Sunday games. The Tribe-Hen seriees calls for two games today, one Saturday and a double header Sunday—and that will be all for 1927, the A. A. schedule closing Sunday. Minneapolis invaded Kansas City today and St. Paul went into Milwaukee. The Indians rested Thursday, their scheduled tilt with Columbus having been played off in the Wed-, nesday twin bill. The Indians got crossed up on their schedule and did not realize they were to play a twin bill today until informed by Toledo officials. It seemed there was a postponed game hanging over the teams that the Indians thought had been played off and the mistake was not discovered by Tribe officials until late this morning.
Helen Jacobs in Good Shape After Operation
Bu United Press OAKLAND, Cal., Sept. 23.—Helen Jacobs, internationally known tennis star, Thursday successfully underwent an appendicitis operation. The operating surgeon, Dr. W. S. Porter, declared she had been suffering from chronic appendicitis that caused a general lowering of vitality through the weakened condition of blood. “The operation was the same as that performed in Paris on Helen Wills, and when Miss Jacobs recovers, she will be much stronger and I predict that a marked improvement in hey play will be noticed,” Dr. Porter said. ,

Dempsey Followers Salve Wounds With Great Big ‘lf.’ SENDS GENE TO CANVAS Champion Proves Self Master Boxer Again. By Henry L. FarreJl United Press Staff Carrespapi eat CHICAGO, Sept. 23.--Gene Tunney held his world ’t heavyweight championship today by proved right of conquest, but his second bailie with Jack Dempsey Thursday night, like most important fights of recent years, left the backers of the loser with a great big “IF" to salve their wounds. Tunney won decisively on the basis of points; he displayed power and stamina whi:h many doubted he possessed. But in the tenth round fight there was a torrid seventh round in which Dempsey, showing for a moment that great attack of old which earned him the title of the “Manassa Mauler,” crashed rights and left through the champion’s defense and'drove Tunney to the canvas for longer than the 10 seconds which normally constitutes a knockout. * To Neutral Corner But unc.er the rules of “boxing exhibitions" in Chicago, the referee cannot begin to count over a fighter who is down until the opponent has withdrawn to a neutral comer. For two or three seconds hr more Tunney went down, Dempsey failed to go to a neutrr.l comer and the referee failed to count. On the other hand, Tunney seemed to be waiting for the count to get the benefit of a momen’ts rest, and had Dempsey gone Immediately to the corner, the champion might stUl have been able to get to his feet before the fatal “ten.” Leo Flynn, Dempsey’S manager, threatened to contest the decision which was given to Tunney after the ten-round fight. He said Tunney v/as on the canvas for 15 seconds. Dempsey, however, was heard to say it was “just one of the breaks in the game.” Near to Top At any rate, for one brief moment in that seventh round Dempsey stood nearer the top of the comeback trail than any other dethroned heavyweight champion has reached. Only Tunney’s covering and dancing and careful steps backward around the ring for the rest of the round saved him. But then, if Dempsey had been the Dempstey of Toledo he would have crashed through for another finishing blow. The Dempsey rally in the seventh round came unexpectedly, after the 33-year-old former champion had failed miserably to show his oldtime form. The first five rounds were almost a replica of the first five at Philadelphia last year, when Tunney won the title. There were few damaging blows in the first two rounds. In the third, Dempsey hit Gene what appeared to be low blows three times in succession, and a moment later followed with two more. Jack was playing for the body and Gene was pounding his opponent’s face. Many Low Blows In the fourth Dempsey again seemed to be hitting low, and once he was cautioned for butting. Tunney may have been angered by what he considered fouls; at a:iy rate, he opened up on the former champion and landed two hard rights which shook Dempsey and three more, straight to the jaw, which left Jack groggy. Jack was hanging on at the bell/ By the fifth, Dempsey wai slowing up. He landed a few goo'* ilows, but failed to follow up. Turn ■ kept landing regularly. Dempsey took the sixth round by landing freely to Gene’s head and body. Tunney, a safe margin of victorious rounds behind him, was playing a cautious game. Then came the vicious seventh, in which a championship almost changed hands. They hammered each other hard in the eighth and ninth, two ferocious rounds. Tunney kept playing for Jack’s face and had it cut and bleeding, and Dempsey was shaky as the ninth round ended. Both played for a knockout in the tenth, swinging wildly. Dempsey was tired and groggy and grew

weaker as the round progressed. Just at the end, Tunney rocked Jack with two hard right to the jaw. K. O. Comes Close Another round or two hardly could have failed to end with Dempsey knocked out. Tunney, whose clearly excellent condition belied reports of poor training, seemed as strong as he was in the early rounds, but Dempsey was in bud shape. Tunney had a clear majority of rounds in the opinion of virtually all observers. But just as Jack Sharkey’s followers had the cry of “foul’’ to raise after his fight with Dempsey in New York, so those who picked Dempsey this time could point to the seventh round knock-down and claim som-* kind of a morai victory for Jack.
Jack’s Dad Threatens to Poke Tunney Rooter
By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 23.—Jack Dempsey’s father, Hiram Dempsey, of Salt Lake City, Utah, almost had a fight of his own at Soldiers Field, Thursday night. The elder Dempsey, with two brothers. Lewis and Beck, of Lenora, W. Va., was in the “ringside” section. A row in front was a vociferous Tunney partisan. “Kill the dirty slacker,” he yelled as Tunney pounded his rival. Hiram Dempsey stood on his seat and shook his fist at the fan. “You stop that; the war’s over now,” he shouted. He said after the fight he believed the worst his son should have received was a draw.

Weigand Is Said to Rival Hoosier in Rough Boxing On July 26, Art Weigand and Joe Sekyra engaged in a battle at Toledo, with Weigand winning on points, and the fact that the Buffalo lightheavy is coming here for a tenround fight with Chuck Wiggins at the Armory next Tuesday makes it worth while to give a brief synopsis of the scrap with Sekyra, who is well known through his local appearances. The Toledo Blade, In reviewing the Weigand-Sekyra bout, said: “Art Weigand, rough and rugged, gave Joe Sekyra, young Bohemian battler, a lesson in the rough and ready tactics of the ring in a vicious twelve-round struggle at Swayne field Monday and carted off the victory.” The Blade continued: “It was a gruelling struggle of the survival of the fittest, where anything went and when the so-called rough stuff of the ring was the rule rather than the exception.” With the knowledge that Wiggins fairly dotes on the so-called “rough stuff,” the above evidence that Weigand Is a past master in that sort of milling, is interesting for local fistic fans. When Captain Clark, Legion matchmaker, finds a suitable opponent for Rip Wilson in the fourround curtain-raiser, the Tuesday card at the Armory will be complete. With the one vacant spot, the program stands as follows: Ten Round*—Chuck Wiggins. Indianapolis. vs. Art Weigand. Buffalo, N. Y.: heavyweights. Eight Rounds—Johnny Murphy. Chicago, vs. Joe O’Malley, Columbus. Ohio; 150 pounds. Six Rounds—Frankie Frisco. Chicago, vs. Jack Malone, Augusta, Ga.; 138 pounds. 81x Rounds —Charley Genaro, Chicago, vs. Chuck Templeton.
