Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
FAIR HAVEN, N. J., July 24. There is such a thing as carrying the ballyhoo too far. In this respect the ballyhoo does not differ greatly from the art of practical joking and other forms of mental torture. Tex Rickard found this out Sunday, and somewhat to his grief, I suspect. Rickard thought it would be a ripping idea to have that fellow
Dempsey come up here and show himself while Thomas Heeney, whom I have, in my clever way, nicknamed the Anvil of the Anzacs, went through his routine of scowling and frowning for the Sunday worshippers at the shrine of Biff and Swat. It was Rickard’s thought that the presence
Joe Williams
of the Dempsey fellow, who used to be something of a heavyweight himself in days gone by, would stir up a little excitement. He did. n an What Dempsey did was to make most of the persons who had assembled to glare critically at the Anvil forget all about him. In the patois of the stage, he stole the show from the challenger. He was a Kreisler busting up an amateur violinist’s solo. tt tt tt THERE is something about Dempsey that holds the interest of the throng. My slant on this is that he fulfills perfectly the popular picture of the fighting man. Somehow he can quicken the pulse beat simply by crawling through the ropes in his summer flannels and turning a full voltage smile on the folks. It was a tough spot for Heeney. I don’t see how he could have helped but sense that the interest Sunday was mainly in Dempsey. His workout seemed to show it. He looked bad. There was no fire, spirit or class to his performance against the two spar mates. After Heeney had completed his four rounds of boxing, or what passed for boxing, Dempsey was besieged by the gentlemen of the press who, yielding to a sudden impulse of originality, wanted to know what he thought of the challenger. tt tt tt “I give him better than a fiftyfifty chance,” answered Dempsey without so much as batting an eye or twisting a corner of his lip into anything that might be identified as a mocking smile. a tt tt sir, I give him better than A a fifty-fifty chance,” continued the old Man Mauler. “He’s a lot better than he looks.” On this reasoning you are moved to pause and ponder. Certainly Heeney could not have looked any worse than he did Sunday and if he is to have any sort of chance against the champion he will have to be much better than he looked. And maybe he is. The Dempsey fellow ought to know. Os course. Dempsey may have been putting on a front for the challenger and his old banker friend, Rickard. Another thing, his dislike for Tunney is still lively and vibrant, and if he is going to say nice things about anybody on the eve of the fight it is going to be about the New Zeaander. He is like that. By way of jesting in my own inimitable manner I suggested to Dempsey that I believed he could slap down Heeney with one good punch. His comment on that was indicative of how easily the man forgets and forgives, how quickly the tragedy of yesterday can become the amusing reminiscence of today. n tt a “I might at that if I had that guy Dave Barry in there counting for me.” Mr. Barry, you may recall, was the individual who stuttered higher mathemathics during the seventh round at Chicago a year ago.

Tunney, Heeney Ready to Battle for World's Fistic Crown
Tribe Stages Late Rally to Beat Colonels; Lelivelt’s Brewers Here for Four Battles With Leaders Betzel’s Crew on Top by Two and Half Games as They Tackle Strong Milwaukee Club; Florence Starts Monday Fireworks With Homer.
BY EDDIE ASH Jack Lelivelt’s Milwaukee Brewers, bolstered by the addition of an old A. A. favorite, Outfielder Bevo Lebourveau, were in town today to start a four-game series with Bruno Betzel’s pacemakers. Toledo sold Lebourveau to the Philadelphia Athletics last winter, the Athletics sent him to Portland and Milwaukee engineered a trade that brought the lefthanded slugger back into the Hickey circuit. The Brewers, pre-season favorites to cop the pennant, still have a hunch they’ll fulfill spring promises and they hope to climb at the expense of the Betzelites. At any rate, the current series is expected to be a sizzling affair. Tribe Adds to Lead The Indians increased their lead to two and one-half games Monday and they came from behind and knocked off Louisville, 4 to 2. All western A. A. clubs were idle Monday. With a shutout staring them in the face as Roy Wilkinson turned them back inning after inning, the Indians suddenly found some safe spots with hard drives in the eighth and staged a fat inning that produced four runs. Florence started the eighth with a mighty swat against the high right center field fence and the crowd had hysterics as he made the circuit. That made the count two to one, Louisville.
Yde Hits in Pinch Yde batted for Leverett and poked a single off Funk’s glove and Matthews sent Yde to third with a ane-baser to right. Manager Meyer of the Colonels removed Wilkinson and sent in Ben Tincup. Connolly flied to Loftus and Yde scored after the catch to tie the game. And then the Indians got the breaks. Haney crashed a hot grass cutter to Sicking and a double play was launched only to have Olivares drop Sicking’s throw, leaving Matty safe at second and Haney on first. Russell hammered a solid single to center to score Matty and Haney sprinted to third whence he scored on Comorosky’s long sacrifice fly to Ganzel. The rally ended when Holke flied to Loftus. Betzel Bolsters Defense Danny Boone took up the Tribe pitching in the ninth and Manager Betzel, as a means of strengthening his defense, withdrew Russell from right, changed Comorosky to that position and brought Layne into the game to cover left. Boone retired the Colonels in order, including two pinch hitters. Monday was “ladies and kids’ day” and there was wild screaming and cheering when the Indians rallied in the eighth. The Indians smacked the ball hard during the early innings but had bad luck when the drives were snared by Louisville pastimers. The horseshoes refused to stay with Wilkinson, however, and he was knocked out in the eighth. Pep Florence got a double in addition to his home run. One Colonel tried to steal and Florence nailed him. Connolly turned in the most spectacular play of game when he went back on the grass in the sixth and speared Olivares’ bid for a hit. It took a fast throw to get the runner, and Connolly had it. The ball was hit deep to Bud’s right and the circus stop prevented a Colonel run scoring. That lad makes few errors. Warstler went back of second in the fifth to scoop Loftus’ swift grounder and the Rabbit got up with it in time to get the runner. Matthew's and Connolly both lined to Nachand in the third. Branom robbed Russell of a hit In the fourth and turned a circus stop into a double play, retiring Hancv at second after touching first to erase Russell. Funk grabbed Comorosky’s liner with one hand in the seventh. He also made a swell play on Commy’s hot shot in the fourth. It was a game of thrills In the field and it was unfortunate for Louisville that its only error cost the game. But for Olivares’ miscue the teams would have entered the ninth all tie.

Quite a Swatter Is Orwoll

ALTHOUGH he hasn't been such a whirlwind as a pitcher for Connie Mack this season, young Ossie Orwoll has convinced the A’s boss he is quite a hitter. His average of more than .350 makes him the best hitting hurler in the league. Orwoll, however, has shown much promise of future mound success, and may reach stardom before he winds up his major league career. When playing in the American Association Ossie also performed in the outfield.

Opponents in Thursday Night Battle at Yankee Stadium Wind Up Training; Reported in Good Shape; Champion Will Fly to New York.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent SPECULATOR, N. Y., July 24. Gene Tunney reached the end of the long training trail today, confident of his ability to defend the heavyweight title against Tom Heeney, the hairy-chested challenger from Gisborne, New Zealand, at Yankee Stadium, Thursday night. With only newspapermen present, Tunney donned the gloves for the last time today before he faces Heeney. The champion will rest Wednesday and then fly to New York Thursday morning, taking off from Lake Pleasant at 10:30 a. m., in ’ a dual - motored Sikorsky amphibian plane, piloted by Bill Winston. All doubt about the kind of a battle Gene will launch against Heeney has been settled by the mauling the champion has given his sparring partners the last few days. Tunney will attempt to knock out the rugged challenger., Tunney was the first champion to win the heavyweight title by a decision, but he wants to defend it with mailed fists. During the two months Tunney has been in training here he has worked tirelessly to perfect anew style of fighting. Tunney gave a glimpse of his newly acquired offensive Sunday when he almost knocked out Harold Mays, Bayonne, N. J., heavyweight, who resembles Heeney in build and fighting form.
18 Fans Have Only Three Misses in Guessing Lineup of Times All-A. A. Squad
The all-American Association team, the consensus of league sport writers, and the mythical lineup used to determine the winner or winners of The Times guessing contest, shows an all-powerful aggregation. * No one entered in fans’ contest picked the club as the concensus shows, and not a single one of the sport writers guessed correctly. The scribes were ineligible for prizes, however, and merely announced their favorites and The Times selected the “all” squad from a composite vote. Some fans hit the infield “right on the nose;” others guessed the outfield; some picked the catchers correctly and a few named the three pitchers chosen. But not one guessed all twelve “down the line.” Therefore The Times contest goes into an 18-way tie, the winners being the fans with the least number of misses. The eighteen each guessed nine out of twelve players. The event conducted by The Times was an experiment, and if held next year, there will be some rules stipulated that will guide both fans and writers and the prize list increased. Many fans shifted Veach to right field, but his regular position is left. Shifting players is not done when selecting an “all” team. That motive will be incorporated next year. Perhaps a stronger team could be chosen than this one, but no roster named would satisfy everybody. Anyway, it was all in fun and supplied the fans with an interesting topic. The eighteen fans who tied for first place in the contest will draw for the prizes Wednesday night at

BY STAN ERSKINE United Press Staff Correspondent FAIR HAVEN, N. J., July 24. Tom Heeney finished his final day of strenuous training with little change in his rollicking and easygoing disposition. “They got blamed monotonous, these final days of training,” Tom said. “It’s much tougher than the fighting itself, but the worst is over, and no matter how it goes I’ll know I’ve had some mighty pleasant days along with the weary ones, in trying to win the heavyweight crown. Today Heeney took only a light workout. Fifteen minutes in the gymnasium, rope-skiping and work with the light bag following a short walk in the morning, was the program. And then on Wednesday, absolutely nothing except perhaps a cruise on a yacht of a millionaire friend. The Hard Rock from “down under,” whose rugged features are furrowed with lines that reveal the near approach to the peak of his condition, said he had no set plan for knocking Tunney off the heavyweight throne. “I have some ideas, of course," Heeney said, “but they probably won’t carry me far. Tunney is not going to hit me very often with the same punch. Anybody can hit me with any kind of a punch, but keeping it up is a different question."

The Times will arrange to watch the draw for any absent fans. Scarritt of St. Paul was a popular fans’ choice for right field, but only one sport writer named him, the reason being he has not been used regular against both left and righthand pitching. For instance, the St. Paul sport writer did not name Scarritt, picking Comorosky instead. Spencer drew many fans’ votes for catcher and Leverett drew many fans’ votes for pitcher. Liska and Jonnard was other favorites. Veach attracted much notice, also, for the outfield and many named Layne and Harris. Strohm was a strong rival for Haney at third. And Branom and Roettger were strong candidates for first. A total of 906 fans filed selections. The entry blank appeared eight days and no cash was included in the prize list.
