Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS - -

NEW YORK, Oct 31.—The boys were chattering with Mr. WilHarrison Dempsey, the reformed actor the other day, whose show “The Big Fight” spread an omelette, Oi laid an egg, as the saying goes, in New Haven last week. Someone asked him what was the funniest experience he encountered during his brief career as a Thespian. „ . “I wouldn’t know,” he replied, “but if there was anything funnier than my thinking I was an actor I didn’t see it or hear about it.” a a An odd thing happened a few nights before the show closed. Ralph Smith, who once had a trial with the Yankees as a catcher, was the challenger. Dempsey hooked him to the chin with a left to start the second round. It had more power on it than Dempsey realized. u u * SMITH was supposed to go out a few moments after the second round started. A full .jninute clicked by and Smith was still on his feet swinging punches. Another minute and he was still firing with both hands. Smith, wide eyed and snorting, continued to throw punches until the bell sounded. Between rounds they brought him to with smelling salts. He had been knocked out on his feet by that left hook. Smith had no recollection of fighting the second round, so the dramatic action of the closing episodes had to be stilled while Dempsey and the challenger went through the motions of a knockout in an extra round. a n * Dempsey thinks he could have whipped Tunney In his earlier days. This is a point on which expert opinion of the ring, such as it is, is sharply divided. Group A insists Tunney would have whipped Dempsey at Toledo when he was admittedly at his peak. Group B doesn’t. a a a DEMPSEY, who has less ego, vanity and personal esteem than you might suspect, is inclined to think he would have stopped Tunney if he had met him four or five years sooner. “All I needed to beat him was a sound pair of legs, and I didn’t have them the two times we fought. I always was a harder puncher and I think I could stand up under as much punishment. “I’m pretty sure I would have got him in Chicago in the seventh round if could have moved around on my legs. Placed in the same situation back in my earlier fighting days—say, at Toledo, and I’m positive I would have knocked him out.” HOLE - IN ONE REWARD Ducats to English’s Go to Dr. Donagh for Feat. Dr. John R. Donagh, who scored an ace hole at Coffin couse a few days ago, won himself a pair of choice show ducats by achieving the coveted feat. He has been asked to be a guest of Frank Craven, Monday night, when the “Nineteenth Hole,” opens at English’s. Craven offerel ast September on leaving New York to reward golfers in the cities he played in who had within the month scored a hole in one.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—The first chance this season for a comparison of football as played in the east and by the Big Ten will be afforded Saturday by the PrincetonOhio State game at Columbus, and the Pennsylvania-Chicago game at Chicago. Big Ten teams demonstrated superiority over eastern elevens last season by winning three out of five intersectional games. Pri r ; t ton beat Ohio State, 20 to 0, anu Harvard defeated Indiana, 26 to 6, for the east’s two victories, both games being played in the east. Purdue invaded Cambridge and won from Harvard, 19 to 0. Chicago defeated Pennsylvania, 13 to 7, at Chicago, and Michigan trounced the Navy, 27 to 12, in the west.
