Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

SPECULATOR, N. Y„ July 20.—1 t would not surprise your attractive looking correspondent in the minimum if some zealous reformer launched a piping hot' crusade

igainst the coming heavyweight pleasantry on the ground of e xc e ssive brutality. W e and n e sday, for the first time since training started up here in the hill s, blood was drawn and, though night and another day have come and gone, as nights and days have a habit of doing, the community

jii

Joe Williams

is still agog and there is no telling what the grewsome affair will lead to, if nothing. It all came with such terrifying swiftness that no two reports agree as to exact details. In a general way the facts seem to be that Mr. Gene Tunney, performing before a private party of friends who had flown here from New York to watch him perspire, cut loose with a loaded left hook that caught Mr. Harold Mays, of Bayonne, N. J., flush on his bibulous nose. tt a tt The man was hurt. You could see that for yourself. A thin red line trickled down his noble face. One of the experts w T ho had written football said it reminded him of Gil Dobie’s Cornell line last fall. tt tt it IT remained for Mr. Pants Lawrence, a native hillsman, whose business slogan is, ‘Let me be your guide and you won’t need a conscience,” to establish definitely that Mr. Tunney had socked Mr. Mays so robustly in the nose that the violence of the impact had caused a slight blood hemorrhage. “You can’t fool me,” insisted Mr. Lawrence. “That’s blood.” At the very mention of the word in a camp where up to the moment all phase of primitive combat had been rigorously suppressed, women swooned, strong men wept and male tenors broke dowrn. Obviousl.y brutality in prize fighting is something that must be offered to the customers by degrees. There is mortal danger in flashing it on them without warning or preparation. This being so, Speculator does not know what to think of Mr. Tunney today. Either he is a changed man or it was the humidity tt a a Certainly when he reaches out and smacks a hired spar mate with sufficient vigor to bring the crimson or claret it is time to stop and wonder. The presses will be stopped at this point while your popular correspondent stops to wonder. tt a tt MR. TUNNEY is reasonably human. Some of his closest friends were watching him work Wednesday. Naturally, he was not adverse to looking impressive before them. I know how Mr. Tunney feels about this. Whenever the boss is around I always try to appear profound, studious and active. One of the reasons then that Mr. Tunney displayed unusual ferocity was that he wanted to delight his friends. One of the strange things about the fight business is that two men can plunge millions of people into heated controversies about their relative punching abilities—controversies that not infrequently lead to small-sized riots, and yet the two men about whom the controversies rage can step into the ring without animous or hatred. In fact, they can be very good friends. I am grieved to report that there have been times when the men were such extraordinary good friends it was necessary to retain them after their furious battles in the ring for official investigation by certain suspicious individuals identified with the business of law. While Mr. Tunney may not be said to be a good friend of Mr. Tom Heeney, nothing has occurred in the course of their respective lives to develop a mutual feeling of hostility. tt tt tt Watching Mr. Tunney, you formed the belief he was striving heroically not only to unfurl a dazzling performance in front of his friends, but to develop what might at least be characterized as a synthetic belligerency toward the New Zealander, for, behind most of his blows there was gun powder.

Giants Open Series With Chicago Cubs Important. Set of Games May Decide Cards’ Strongest Foe. BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 20.—8 y Sunday night the St. Louis Cardinals probably will know just where their competition lies in the Nationa' League. Tne New York Giants opened a four-game series with the Chicago Cubs in Chicago today and the results are likely to make or break both teams in the pennant race. Bill McKechnie and his Cardinals are in a soft spot. While the Cubs and Giants are battling away, the are fattening their percentage at the expense of the lastplace Phillies. Nothing would suit the Cardinals better than to have the Cubs and Giants split even in the four-game series. That probably woudl throw both so far back St Louis could breeze into the pennant. The last time the Giants invaded Chicago they met disaster. John McGraw’s leg was broken and New York dropped four straight games to the Cubs. It was on May 12 that the Giants went riding into Chicago in first place. Four days later they left in fourth place. It took the Giants six weeks to recover from that series. Things don’t look any too good for New York now. The Cubs are in one of the winning streaks that they stage about four times a season. If Benton can’t stop the Cubs, it is a safe bet that no one on the Giant's staff can.

Indianapolis Ace Trims Baron Di Morpurgo in • Straight Sets. NEED ONE MORE VICTORY P. Gaslini Bows to American Star. BY RALPH HEIZEN, (United Press Staff Correspondent) ROLOND GARROS STADIUM. PARIS, July 20.—Without the aid of William T. Tilden, first ranking American player, the United States Davis Cup team today won the first two matches of the interzone final against Italy. The United States needs to take

but one more match to win the honor of meeting the French cupholders in the challenge round. One match will be played Saturday and two Sunday, regardless of whether the United States wins the third or fourth match and thus decides the series. Frank T. Hunter beat P. Gaslini 6-1, 6-1, 6-0. But it

jaw wm ssr Y

Hennessey

was left to John Hennessey to do the heroic. The Indianapolis ace beat Baron H. L. Di Morpurga, star of the Italian team, 6-4, 7-5, 6-2. * Hennessey had entered the match with the experts picking him to lose. But like Hunter, he seemed to oe vitalized by the knowledge that the team was weakened on paper by Tilden’s loss, and he fought like a tiger to beat Di Morpurgo, who ranks only second to the French stars in continental tennis, in straight sets. Tilden was in the stands, and scored the honors of the day so far as applause was concerned. He was forced to rise repeatedly from his seat in the official stand to respond to cheers. Gaslini was substituted for De Stefani, whom Hunter was to have played, at the last moment. Hunter’s match was devoid of thrills. He completely outclassed Gaslini, running through the match with -the loss of only two games in less than an hour. The Italian was no match for the powerful, slashing game Hunter produced when he needed ponits. Hennessey, who also will pla;, in the doubles with George Lott, the Chicago star, virtually has taken Tilden’s place as No. 1 man on the team, although Hunter Is the new captain. The young Indianian today was in the most brilliant oi form. Hennessey owed his victory to his solution of Di Morpurgo’s soft game —that came after a series of hard drives at the outset. The American brought bursts of applause by the finality of his shots. The United States star received an ovation almost equal that accorded Tilden, who was the center of attraction today. !

‘Dutch’ Leonard Good Golfer

IT seems quite a job to keep “Dutch” Leonard out of the sport headlines. For a good many years he was a prominent big league hurler. He got back in the headlines two winters ago with the famous letter in the Cobb-Speaker episode. Now he’s winning golf tournaments out in California. This photograph was taken recently after Leonard had won medal and match honors in a Del Monte, Cal., tournament.

Ex-Champ Wins on Foul in Third Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, defeated Rough House Wilson, Kansas City Negro, in the third round of their bout Thursday night at the Douglas Park ripk on a foul. A large crowd witnessed the card, which with the exception of the main go, provided plenty of action and snap. Johnson, as would be expected, is taking on weight rapidly and finds difficulty moving around fast enough. The ex-king, however, still knows a lot about the ring game and knows how to use his hands. The Times’ decisions in other bouts: One Round Bess, Indianapolis, stopped Cherokee Kid (substitute for Kid Nacho), in the sixth round. Bess’ superior ring skill was too much for the came Indian. Kid Sunshine knocked out Buddy Bov Swanagan in the third round.. Swanagan had enough of the Kid. once. it. got started and was counted out on one knee. ..Kid Owens shaded Bill Breckinridge in a four-round go.. Both were exhausted in the third and it took all they hf.d to finish standing up. Kid Lewis knocked out Kid Mohawk In the second round o' the opener. The show was staged by the Lecroix Athletic Club.

U. S. Olympic Team Arrives at Amsterdam Athletes Rush Ashore to Begin Hard Training for Events. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor AMSTERDAM, Holland, July 20. —America’s Olympic team, bent on repeating the 1924 victory of Paris, arrived here today after a most thoroughly comfortable voyage from the United States aboard the S. S. President Roosevelt. The scores of athletes, all appearing in perfect condition, rushed ashore that they might begin active training for the great track, field and water tests that start Just nine days fro mnow. As soon as the Roosevelt docked the athletes went ashore searching for their various training fields. Boxers and. wrestlers alone are without facilities and at present will remain aboard the Roosevelt, going ashore only for road work. The crews immeditely transferred their shells to a canal boat to be transportedtothe Slotten Canal. The equestrians will go to Hilversum with representatives of 20 other nations for their training. Swimmers found the men’s pool was but three minutes by launch from the Roosevelt, while the women’s pool Is ten minutes away. Divers, however, must work out at the stadium. The marathon runners were driven twice over the marathon course shortly after the Roosevelt had docked. Cyclists start their workouts Saturday.

‘Holdouts’ Slow Up Contest

THE 906 fans who entered The Times all-A. A. contest are asked ( to have patience while The Times sport staff awaits answers from letters sent writers in Minneapolis and Kansas City requesting their choices for the various positions. The newspaper men in those cities wired they had mailed their selections Wednesday, bu by noon today the letters had not arrived. Milwaukee, Columbus, Toledo, Louisville and St. Paul scribes got their lineups in on time, and it would surprise the fans to glimpse some of the writers’ picks of players. In fact, The Times sports editor was surprised himself. If Minneapolis and Kansas City fail to come through by tonight the scribes in those cities will be sent a wire with a request to answer by wire. In that way The Times will be in a position to announce the contest winner or jvinners by Monday, if not Saturday. Wiggins Starts Anew in Liberty Beach Quarters Chuck Wiggins, local heavyweight, has established training quarters at Liberty Beach, on White River, and has begun a training campaign that he believes will cut off some of his excess poundage and put him in shape to battle every week. Chuck is eligible again under the rules of the National Boxing Association, after being under suspension for being disqualified during a bout in the West. ( The Hoosler pug believes a month’s work at his well-quipped Liberty Beach camp will put him right. He has taken up tree-chopping and is wielding the ax and saw on trees felled by the recent storm. He has tentative dates with Armand Emmanual, Johnny Risko and Otto Von Porat. Wiggins said he would be pleased to have Roy Wallace join his camp and work with him as a sparring mate. He also invites other local boxers to use his quarters. I. u. vs! NOTRE~DAME Schools Agree to Basketball Arrangements for Two A ears. B BLOOMINGTON, Ind., July 20.

they will open a series with the Louisville Colonels at Washington Park. The team was due in town at 3:30 this afternoon. No game was scheduled today. The Betzelites will be hoipe for a long stay and it’s up to the fans to turn out and encourage them in their efforts to win the first pennant for Indianapolis since 1917. On the trip that closed in Minneapolis Thursday the Tribe record was as follows: Against Louisville —Won four and lost one. A-alnst Kansas Citv —Won one and lost two. Against Milwaukee—Won four straight. Against St. Paul—Won one and lost three. Against Minneapolis—Won two and lost three, one of the Miller victories being the disputed game of April 28. Ferd Schupp was sent back at the Millers in the series finale at Minneapolis Thursday, but he had pitched the last thiee innings of the Tribe victory Wednesday and the last three innings Thursday saw his downfall. Lose 3-to-0 Lead The Indians held a lead of 3 to 0 going into the seventh, but -n that round Schupp started to fade and the Millers got two runs. In the eighth the Millers tied the count, and in the ninth they put over a fourth marker to capture the tilt. Apparently Schupp needed relief in the last few stanzas, but there is a suspicion Manager Betzel’s pitching staff is “shot” due to the illness of Burwell and the fact Danny Boone has a sore arm. Held to Seven Hits Lisenbee and Brillheart hurled for Minneapolis Thursday, and the Tribe was held to seven hits while the Millers collected twelve off Schupp. An error by Warstler in the eighth paved the way ior the Millers to tie the score The Indians won twelve games and lost nine on the trip, not a bad record for a team playing in enemy territory with the added burden of trying to remain on top. The fact the Betzelites return home in first place is enough to cause Tribe tans to feel keen pride in the peilormance of the Hoosier pastimers. P. AND L.

Champ Gene in Perfect Ring Shape Tunney Cuts Training Work to Minimum for Title Scrap. Bu United Press SPECULATOR, N. Y,, July 20. Physicians, trainers and Gene Tunney, himself, agreed today that the champion was in perfect condition for his fifteen-round championship bout with Tom Heeney at the Yankee Stadium Thursday night. Tunney’s only worry now is to keep from going stale. Ring work will be cut down to the minimum. The champion plans to spar just enough to keep his eyes sharp and develop his judgment of distance a bit finer. Even road work will be reduced. Tunney has been going about nine miles a day, but in the future he will do only three miles daily. Dr. Robert J. Shea, life-long friend of Tunney, made a thorough examination of the champion and said he was in better condition now than he has been for any previous fight. News from Wall Street today was that Tunney was a 3 to 1 favorite, but that more Heeney money was appearing daily. One brokerage house placed $30,000 on Tunney at 2Va to l. it also was reported that a SI,OOO bet had been placed at odds of 1 to 4 that Heeney w ould win the championship by a knockout. Dalton Is Winner in Ripple Show Jimmy Dalton, veteran Indianapolis pug, outpointed Paul Anthony, Omaha, in the six-round main event of the Broad Ripple mitt card Thursday night.
