Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, April 13.—The presence in our midst of Mr. William Harrison Dempsey, the contrite and chastened cauliflower, has,

as usual, started the mooters to mooting on what is probably the most mooted of all moot questions dealing with the prize ring. Which, is, namely and to-wit, was Dempsey at the peak of his hitting power a harder hitter than Robert Fitzsimmons, the spindlylegged blacksmith, who, like the

V

Williams

Dempsey person, specialized in knocking ’em loose from their eyebrows? Dempsey himself has no fixed opinion on the matter. He never saw old .Fitz in action. “I'm just as pleased that he wasn't fighting in my time, too,” he laughed between ilinings at the Polo Grounds. “I've heard enough about his body punches to be convinced he was no light tapper.” a a a It’s my notion Dempsey was probably as hard a hitter as the ring ever saw. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t a harder hitter than old Fitz. He had tremendous power in his arms and shoulders, and he hit with the speed of an explosive. a a a DEMPSEY fought in eight fights in which the heavyweight championship was involved. In these eight fights he scored a total of twenty-two knockdowns—more by far than any other heavyweight who ever held the title. a a a In only two of his fights did he fail to put his man down for a count at least once. He wasn’t able to drop Tommy Gibbons in their fifteen-round fight at Sliel.by, Mont., and he couldn’t drive Turney to the floor in their first fight at Philadelphia. ana OLD FITZ fought only three fights as heavyweight champion and he scored but one knockdown. James J. Corbett was the only man the Cornishman floored in championship competition as a heavyweight. Statistically, then. Dempsey must be accepted as the harder puncher. Dempsey was not a punch specialist. While it is probably true his left hook was his most effective punch, as all left hooks when expertly developed and accompanied by power generally are. he was just as dangerous with his right. I think you can say he was the best twohanded fighter the heavyweights ever saw and be pretty safe about it. P. AND E. PARTY The P. and E. Athletic Association members will hold a skating party and dance at the Riverside rink tonight.

Leverett, by Steady Pitching, Makes It Three Straight Thursday. INDIANS GET 13 HITS Blast Rookie Hurler Off Mound in First. BY EDDIE ASH Harpooning the Millers for the third time in a row Thursday, 8 to 2, the Indians still were filling the role of the One Thousand Per Cent Boys today as they prepared to tackle the Kelleyites in the series finale and strive to make it a clean sweep of four games. Being the first ’’ladies’ day” of the year, attendance was expected to show a big increase over that of Thursday, which was only 900. On Saturday the Saints invade Washington Park to start a round of battles with Betzel’s fast-stepping Tribesmen.

Saints Highly Regarded St. Paul, like Milwaukee, got plenty of pie-season publicity, and many experts granted the Apostles a high place in the A. A. rating along with the Brewers and K. C. Blues. Manager Betzel was figuring on sending Danny Boone to the Tribe mound today in the farewell conflict with Minneapolis, and on Saturday it is believed he will start Schupp or Burwell against St. Paul. Dixie Leverett made his first appearance in the Tribe box Thursday and held the Millers to two runs and eight hits, while striking out six. He did not issue a walk and hurled the last three innings with strength to spare. The chunky hurler was in form and in addition to that advantage he was backed up by good work on the infield. Stemig Out Early The Indians jumped on Adolph Stemig, Miller rookie righthander, and cuffed him around for a flock of hits and runs in the first inning. In fact they knocked Adolph off the rubber in the initial session and Brett succeeded him and toiled through the sixth, Lefty Brillheart finishing. The Indians broke out with five runs in the opening round and never were headed, W’alter Holke leading the attack with two singles and' a double. The big first-sacker apparently has shaken off the batting jinx that followed him during spring training, for he has hit safely in the three games vitli the Millers. Warstler Wallops Bail Shortstop Warstler sprouted a real punch Thursday and poled the sphere for a triple and double and figured In two double plays that helped smother the Miller offense. The Indians collected thirteen hits, five being good for extra bases. Smith, Duncan and Cotter each soh-ed Leverett for two hits, one of

Cotter's drives being good for the circuit. His homer came in the sixth inning with the bases unoccupied.

BALL PARK CHATTER

Hero';; n tip for the fan?. When planning to rttPtui a came make it a point to rerch the path early enough to view the Tribe at infield practice. Tiiev start the drill at 2:35 It's worth the extra time to watch Rabbit War. .ler skip about the short field. Fred Haney turned in two great plavs in the first limin'; Thursday when he snared rollers bv Bohne end Smith and cot tiie decision r t Am • Smith's bound#: was especially touch to handle for he had to scorn it nil the run with one hand and make the throw without coming up. Fred nold a double and silicic and stole third once. Holke used rate judgment In grabbing Warwick's mile-high inlielil ttv in the fourth. It was a difficult play because of the strong breeze and Walter m ide the catch near the pitcher’s bos; after a run. Cotter. former Louisville performer, plaved first for the Millers Thursday and guarded the sr.c'.: in dazzling fashion. He had fifteen ptitouts and two assists and the veteran stepped around as though he had turned bacx the pages of age. He made a play on a drive bv Levere.t that moved the fans to wild applause. Pat Duncan made a diving catch on Haney in the sixth and came up with tile ball after sliding 01. his tummv. Pat stole Bruno Haas’ stuff on that one. Big Jake Jacobson had a nerfeet dav with the exception of being caught napping off first once. He was at hat four times and collected two hits and two walks. Manager Betzel's triple In the first Pining went to deep left center and was the kind of drive Bruno used to specialize in when he was at the height of his career at Louisville. YY'ith three defeats In as many start.', the Millers had their hacks to the wall today, or rather backs on the ground. LBftv Brillheart. who hurled the last two tunings for Minneapo is Thursday. Is a former Chicago Cub. He was nicked for two hits, but he fanned three Indians in the two stanzas. Well, here's hoping the home hoys don't get dizzy, way up there at the top of the standing, and fail off into spa-e. The K. C. Blues also ara in the I.lWitl per cent class, but they have a tie against them—as the college football statisticians would put it. Two Indians rre caught napping Thursday and Trainer Pierce Is dusting off his Big Ben. Tire Columbus Senators must be using the needle. They Rot fen more runs Thursday, making n total of thirty in three days. The betting is three to one Jack Lelive't. Brewer manager, is punch drunk and tearing his hair. Milwaukee scored twenty-five runs In three games and got beat twice. The Heitiie fans up in the Cream City are having a tough time trying to figure out the puzzle. Minneapolis and Toledo werr the only A. A. teams still in the nothing class previous to today’s games. Manager Allen of the Saints and Bruno Haas were banished from the field at Louisville Thursday for making a sharp comment on th" umpires’ decision'. The Saints won. Two lightweight hitters. YVanninger and Sicking, poled homers. Kuhel. new K. C. first sacker. got three hits and YVamby four against the Hens.
