Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, June 20.—Mr. Jack Dempsey will be heading East again next week. He has been on the Coast peddling hotels and the like. Also he has been submitting to private treatments in the gentle art of elocution, with an occasional dash of primary histirionism. Mr. Dempsey, of course, as ybu know, is getting ready for his
Broadway debut in a Belascoean production to be called “The Big Fight,” or something of that whimsical sort. I understand that in a vague sort of way it will deal with the science of self-defense or as Prof. William Lyon Phelps would call it, prize - fighting, a science with

Dempsey
which Mr. Dempsey is said to be more or less familiar. I am told the voice culturists are having no little trouble with their subject due to his tendency to monotone. Mr. Dempsey has one of those voices which rippling over the split lips of one so virile and savage looking makes you wonder whether you should, as the phrase has it, kiss him or kill him. It is a cross between a high-pitched yodel and a masculine hair trimmer’s business lyrics. a a a The baffling problem confronting the Belasco aides who have Mr. Dempsey in tow on the Coast is what to do about that almost soprano voice of his. tt U tt OBVIOUSLY much of the dramatic force would be lost in any situation where the hairy-chested hero stalked across the *tage to where Mr. J. Throckmorton Glitz was pawing the blonde heroine and demanded in a shrill, high pitched voice, “unhand that gell, you scoundrel!” I am afraid even if the hairychested hero’s name happened to be Dempsey even, that would not be enough to save him from the ire of the boys in the nickel seats. It would be much easier if the Belasco opus restricted Mr. Dempsey’s activity to fist slinging, where his eloquence is second to none. Naturally the big moment in the dray-ma is to be a fight scene and presumably the hairy-chested hero will bring one up from the floor in characteristic manner and knock his opponent loose from his hang nails. a a a Here still another problem asserts itself, an even greater problem, I should say, than the matter of imparting a manly roar to the Dempsey voice. tt tt tt WITH almost any other fighter this would be no problem. Quite a few of the boys are rare artists at making phoney punches look legitimate. This is a simple trick and is dene by stopping the punch at the seeming moment of contact. Technically, it is known as pulling your punches. But Mr. Dempsey can no more pull his punches than the Niagara can still its tumult. At least he wasn’t able to in the past. He was known as a poor “carrier.” A “carrier,’ is a young business man who carries an opponent along easily in one fight in order to save him for another somewhere else later., a a a Three years ago Mr. Dempsey was going through the innocent gestures of training at Hendersonville, Ky., getting ready for his come-back. One of his sparring partners was the lumbering Farmer Lodge from the Middle West, a dime-a-dozen paluka who had gone to seed. THE farmer was out of funds, his wife was seriously ill and a fire had razed his house to the ground. On top of that he was defunct as a box office card even on the tan-shoe and bow-tie circuit. Mr. Dempsey has a heart. He heard of the Farmer’s grief and sent for him. “You don’t have to give me a real workout,” Mr. Dempsey told the Farmer when he arrived in camp. “Just get in there and make it look good. I won’t hurt you.” And if Mr. Dempsey didn’t mean every word he said Paprika is a swell thing to use on watering eyes, but the Farmer hadn’t been in the ring with him thirty seconds until Mr. Dempsey had him hanging over the ropes entreating aid in haste and diversified forms.
Big League Stuff
—————By United Press The pace-making St. Louis Cardinals increased their lead in the National League to three full games Tuesday by handing the Cincinnati Reds a 9 to 4 walloping. The Mound City club unleashed a torrid attack on Pete Donohue, Jablonowski and Edwards and . collected 19 hits in the fracas. Grover Cleveland Alexander started for the Cards but was relieved in the seventh by “Wee Willie” Sherdel when the Reds scored three runs. Jim Bottomley pounded out his fifteenth homer of the season. Walter Lerian, Phillies' new catcher, tripled in the ninth Tuesday with two men on base to give the Philadelphia club an 11-to-10 triumph over the Brooklyn Robins.. The second game o t a scheduled double-header was halted by rain in the third inning, the Phillies leading, 4 to 1. Washington Senators and Boston Red Sox divided honors in a twin bill, Washington losing the first game, 5 to 1, but annexing the nightcap, 16 to 7. TAKE A BOW, CRACKERS! THERE’S room to talk about all the stars they breed orrthe Pacific coast, but there’s a lot of territory covered out there In a few words and the number per square foot might not be so big. Inch for inch Atuanta and Georgia would have a pretty good batting average against any city and in the country. _
Bobby Jones Rules Favorite to Win National Open Golf Title
Tribe Carded in Twin Bill With Toledo Tuesday Postponement Leads to Double-Header; Big Crowd Expected. By Times Special TOLEDO, Ohio, June 20.—Held idle by wet grounds Tuesday, Indians and Hens were to play oft the postponement in a double header today—if more showers did not fall. Swayne field was in sloppy condition Monday, but the groundkeeper and his “staff” put in much work late Monday afternoon and this morning trying to put the diamond in shape. Race Stands Close With the Hens clinging to the league lead by a narrow margin, and the Indians close up, today’s twin bill was expected to attract the largest week-day crowd of the season. Swetonic, Leverett and Schupp were the Tribe pitchers ready for action. Palmero, left-hander, and Huntzinger, right-hander, were “on deck” for the local crew. Only one game was staged in the A. A. Monday, rain preventing three. Louisville downed the Senators at Columbus, 7 to 2, and there were no shifts in the league standing. It was a peculiar contest at Columbus, for the losers got fourteen hits to seven for the winners. Branam, Colonel first-sacker, smote two doubles and a home run. Louisville executed three double plays and Columbus two. Despite the fact they hit Deberry freely, the Senators were able to score only in the first and last innings. George Lyons hurled for the losers. The Colonels made every one of their mes count. Umpire Jack Powell has left the ranks of the A, A. and it is understood he was “pushed” out by President Hickey. Powell, it is said, couldn't curb his tongue during spats with managers and players. He forfeited a game to Indianapolis in Minneapolis during April and President Hickey reversed his ruling. That led certain A. A. managers to take liberties with the umpire and recently when he banished Manager Stengel of the Hens from a game and President Hickey refused to suspend the Hen pilot, Powell decided he wasn’t wanted and his resignation followed. REDS •■BUY” JOE STRIPE Cincinnati has bought Jersey Joe Stripp from Columbus and the leading hitter of the A. A. will join the Reds shortly. In an effort to prevent Senator fans from quitting the team,- as they announced they would recently if Stripp was taken from them, the affair is explained as a "big deal” in which Columbus will get cash and five players in exchange. However, the amount of "cash” was not disclosed and the new players were not named. And now Cincinnati is talking of recalling from the Senators Kenneth Ash. their best pitcher. Columbus soon will go on a road trip and the Reds evidently decided to makes its "raid” at once. The Reds own controlling Interest at Columbus and it’s up to Tom Hickey, A. A. prexy, to get them out. Columbus fans are loyal when given fair treatment. Stripp has been a hero over there and Ash rapidly has gained popularity.

THE Olympia Fields course at Chicago, where the National Open golf meet starts Thursday, is a hard one. There are many opportunities for the “shot maker,” and many of these so-called “shot makers” will compete at Olympia Fields. They go the short way on dog leg holes and putt for the cup and a birdie instead of a safe on the fairway and two on the green for a par. These are the fellows referred to as “shot makers.” They are the fellows who give the gallery thrills and the men who give the links sport its “kick.” a a it Last week, in The Times tournament, there cropped out in the form of a champion a young man who bids fair to become a real “shot maker." William Heinlein, vrtnner of the title, turned in a couple of shots that deserve men tion, although his various • rounds over the course were full of them, we are told by his opponents. . . . , . Playing a hole. Bill was stymied behind a tree. He didn't play the ball to the fairway and then to the cup. Not Bill! He drew out an iron, took stance so as to give the ball a slice, and whacked away. The gutta percha curved around the oak and when it stopped it was on the green. It was Just his natural way of getting out of such pinches. o a e ON another occasion Bill was on the next fairway with high trees between his ball and the green.

Rules for Times-Legion Tourney

Difficult Olympia Fields Course Feared by Star Links Artists. ARMOUR LOOKS GOOD Play to Get Under Way on Thursday. By United Press CHICAGO, June 20.—0n the eve of what promises to be the most “open” of open championships, the 150 golfers gathered at Olympia Fields, are proclaiming as with one voice the difficulties of No. 4 course,
over which they are to start the battle Thursday, for the title now held by Tommy Armour of Washington, D. C. An impression that Olympia Fields presented no severe test of golfing skill, fostered by Walter Hagens easy triumphs in the past, has been dispelled by the
Hagen
efforts of the favorites during their practice rounds. “This is no easy course,” said Bobby Jones, who remains first choice in the betting. The Atlanta lawyer-golfer was first to break par with a neat 70 on Tuesday. His card: Par Out 544 443 434—53 Jones Out 583 543 435—35 Par In 444 345 345—38—71 Jones In 434 435 315—35—70 A longer and more difficult course than the one “burnt up” by Hagen in winning the western open stretches ahead of the ambitious field Tuesday. The rough is “as bad as Oakmont,” say many of the contestants—and that in the language of golf, is no compliment.” Rough broke the hearts of many golfers at Oakmont and rough holds the secret of victory ta Olympia Fields. Where Hagen used to drive deliberately to avoid bunkers of the fairway, rough grasses now claim the wayward ball. Jones, of course, is favorite and Walter Hagen close behind. But there is a great deal more searching for a dark horse going on than there will be at the Democratic convention. Two decades have gone by since a golfer won the National Open two years in succession, yet here at Olympia Fields, this week, Tommy Armour, whose game has been indifferent and worse all spring, has been playing well in practice. The former Scottish amateur, for after all he has made no great money from the title he won at Oakmont, is bending himself seriously to win it again. LA BARBA TO MEET BUD By United Press LOS ANGELES, June 10.—A tenround bout with Bud Taylor, former bantamweight champion, will mark the return to the ring of Fidel La Barba, retired flyweight champion. The bout will be at the Olympic Club here on July 24 or July 31.
traps that, surrounded it, or striking a tree trunk, Bill drew out a deep pitched club and smacked under the ball. He sent it high over the trees and down to the pin. It was two feet from the hole. He came out with a birdie. That’s the kind of a golfer referred to as a “shot maker.” tt tt tt We were engaged in the staging of the schoolboy golf meet last week and failed to give the credit to the boys who went up to Chicago Monday, June 10 to Qualify for the National. Fairness of the officials has been questioned. One cannot say that such players as Johnny Lehman of Purdue University obtained a fair deal, neither do we feel that Roy Robertson, pro at Pleasant Run. got the break coming to him. It is unfair to clutter up a golf course with duffers and make players capable of shooting finish their rounds in the dark. Lehman, for instance, had a chance to shoot four pars on the last four holes and break the course record with a 67. Robertson was in position to Qualify and probably would except for darkness. one Lehman was forced to return to school and get his degree. Robertson did not feel he could stay another night and incurr additional expense, already high. He came home. The same applied to others. It was more than wrong. When Roy Robertson told us the other day that he would like for someone to petition for a National Open qualifying district allottment for Indianapolis, we told him he could count us in on a list of pluggers.

Giant Negro Favored Over John Risko George Godfrey Holds Huge Advantage in Ring Battle Tonight.

ten - round bout at Ebbets Field tonight. Risko seemed little concerned over the additional weight of his opponent and in the usual prebattle statement said he would “put the black menace business into bankruptcy.” Godfrey, on the other hand, was equally con-

fldent of victory. All he wanted. Godfrey said, was a chance to show whether or not he belonged on the top of the heavyweight division. The fight is in the nature of another elimination bout, although Godfrey is not generally considered as a contender by other challengers. Risko is outstanding among those claiming recognition. Because of his weight and height, Godfrey will enter the ring a favorite. Experts seemed to favor the Negro to win.
day in another race that brought out the best fillies in the country. Toboggan won by half a length with Scuttle three-quarters of a length behind Romany Queen. Betting in the Coronation stakes was 11-10 against Toboggan, 10-1 against Romany Queen and 4-1 against Scuttle. Toboggan and Scuttle carried 129 pounds each and Romany Queen 115. J. B. Joel’s Priory Park won the $12,500 Royal Hunt cup by three lengths from Lord Laxcelles’ St. Jerome, with Sir Delves Broughton’s Knight of the Grail, half a length behind, third. Twenty-five ran. Betting was 15-2 against Priory Park and 33-1 against St. Jerome.
The identity of the third man in the ring Thursday night remains a mystery, but. it is safe to predict that the Nebraska wildcat must spread Mickey on the canvas and tack ,him down if the title is to change hands. At that, there is a fair chance of Hudkins doing so, for the pace is bound to be furious from the first gong. That Ace will force the fighting at the sart seems reason-

ably certain. Some believe he can tire Walker out, and win going away in the last five rounds. The more reasonable assumption, however, is that Walker will catch Hudkins just as Sammy Baker did, but with punches carrying about twenty pounds more weight behind them. Tearing in wide open, as Ace does, is likely to prove fatal to fistic aspirations when the opponent is as strong and keen a hitter as Walker,,. The champion was below the division weight limit on this, his day of rest. He will enter the ring weighing between 159 and 160 pounds. Hudkins weighed 154 today, and is not likely to be any heavier when he enters the ring.

JUSTE 20, 1928
Californians Triumph at Poughkeepsie Golden Bears Row to Brilliant Victory in Regatta; Columbia Second. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY, United Press Staff Correspondent POUKHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 20. —The Golden Bear of California today stood guard over the 1928 intercollegiate rowing championship. Not in all the thirty-four years of the intercollegiate regatta has there been as brilliant a triumph on the water as took place on the storm-tossed Hudson Tuesday when California rowed through semidarkness and driving rain to lift the championship from Columbia and establish anew record of 18 minutes, 35 4-5 seconds for the fourmile race. It was the first victory ever scored by California in the intercollegiate championship. Three times before, in 1920, 1926 and’ 1927, California came East but failed. Short Advantage But all disappointments, heartaches and defeats were cast overboard into the black waters of the Hudson as the big, bronze men from the West pulled their shell over the finish line three-quarters of a length in front of Columbia. After passing the two-mile mark, the race was a dual affair between California and Columbia. Up until the two-mile post, Cornell, spurting like mad, made all the running and just before reaching the two-mile point held a length advantage over Columbia. Off to a miserable start, California came on fast and at the 24mile point was trailing Columbia by an eighth of a boat length. California took the lead shortly afterward and retrained in the van until the finish, except for a brief span near the towering suspension bridge, whe CnoUunbia held sway. Stands Off Challenge California stood off a courageous challenge by Columbia in the last long mile and went on to win, pulling away. Washington finished third, Cornell fourth. Navy fifth, Syracuse sixth and Pennsylvania seventh. More than 70,000 rowing enthusiasts, wrapped in oilskin, slickers and topcoats, braved the elements to see one of the finest races ever rowed. The Navy had it* innings in the first two races, capturing the twomile freshman race in 9:42 and the three-mile junior varsity in the record-breaking time of 14:18.
