Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

Whai s '* p jrnswcr—is baseball or boxing the more lucrative profession?” at n ti Tb** two professional athletes th s generation has produced are Mr. William Harrison Dempsey and Mr. George He rman Ruth. They are the great gate gods of their respective sports. All the standing attendance records in the fight game were made hy Mr. Dempsey, just as all the attendance records in baseball are to the credit of Mr. Ruth, a a a but thfre is a wide difference IN THE INDIVIDUAL RETURNS. MR DEMPSEY FOUGHT TWO FIGHTS IN 1327 AN n COLLECTED MORE THAN ONE MILLION DOLLARS. MR RUTH IS FINISHING THE FAST YEAR OF A THREE-YEAR CONTRACT WITH THE YANKS. THE TOTAL VALUE OF WHICH TO HIM IS $210,000. it it a DEMPSEY probably Is worth $2,500.000. Ruth will have a tough time closing out his career with as much a.s $300,000. This parallel would seem to indicate that the greater riches ride with left hooks. a a e I don't think it C3n h* questioned that there is more money in the prize ring than on the ball lot. Any fairly good battler with durability and business acumen ran make more money with his knuckles than Ruth is going to make in his entire career. a o o A RANDOM INSTANCE IS JOHNNY RISKO OF CLEVELAND. HE IB A SECOND RATE HEAVYWEIGHT WITH A LOT OF HEART AND WILLINGNESS TO WORK OFTEN. HE HAS ALREADY MADE CONSIDERABLY MORE MONEY THAN THE HOME RUN KING OF BASEBALL. AND IS PROBABLY GOOD FOR A COUPLE OF MOPE YEARS. RUTH HAS CONFESSED THAT HE DOESN'T THINK HE WILL LAST MORE THAN TWO OR THREE MORE YEARS AT THE MOST. it a e THE Yanks pay roll as a team ranges from $4,000 to Ruths $70,000. This Is tops by a wide margin in the big leagues. Next is the Cub's pay roll ranging from $4,000 to Rogers Hornsby's $45,000. The average club s is much less. Offhand I should say it ranges from $3,500 to $15,000. You can count the $20,000 ball players on one hand. The average big league salary is around $7,500. The late Mr. Tex Rickard used to pay some of his semi-windup fighters more than that.

Bn Timet Special MILWAUKEE, May B.—Following another tilt with the Brewers here today the Indians 01 Bruno Betzel will depart tonight for St. Paul to open a i'our-game series with the powerful Apostles Thursday. It will be the Tribe's third stop on their “world's tour - ’ around the league. Jack Lelivelt's team escaped fom the cellar Tuesday at the expense of the 1928 pennant winners by winning, 6 to 5, after coming from behind. The Hoosiers “blew” a fourrun lead and both Schupp and Burwell got mistreated by Milwaukee stickers, the latter being charged with the defeat when the locals hopped on him in the ninth for two runs and victory. Warstler Erratic A costly error by Warstler in the sixth permitted two Brewers to romp over the plate and it was the Tribe shorstop's second fumble of the game. The speedy lad is not having the success in the field he enjoyed last season. Wid Matthews was the day's batting star with two doubles and a single and he crossed the plate three times. The Indians’ total hits was nine and Wilwaukee collected ten. The Brewers switched to a lefthanded batting attack after Burwell relieved Schupp and the move finally got results, the ninth going as follows: Lebourveau doubled and Badgro w'as tossed out by Warstler, Lebourveau going to third. Hauser doubled down the rightfield foul line, scoring Lebourveau with the tying run. Strohm was thrown out by Connolly, Hauser reaching third. Eddie Grimes singled to left, scoring Hauser with the winning run. Fast Start by Tribe Indianapolis scored two runs in the first round and two in the second to make it appear they were out for a killing. Buvid was knocked off the Brewer mound in the opening inning and was relieved by Fons. The Brewers inserted two pinch hitters in the sixth, and two markers scored in that round added to one registered in the second put them on the Tribe’s heels. Gearin went to the Brewer box in the seventh and the Indians got a run off him. making the count, 5 to 3. In the Milwaukee seventh Burwell w'as touched for an earned run and the count w r as 5 to 4. What happened in the ninth has been related. Manager Lelivelt of the Cream i City nine was banished the first stanza for taking exception to rulings by Umpire Rue. Thereupon Jack's team w r ent out and won the contest. Ferd Schupp pitched in fine style until the sixth when the first man singled and the next two walked. And this brought in Burj well who checked the rally but ! weakened later.

English Pro Smashes Course Record in First Round of Play. DIEGEL SCORES 71 Horton Smith Comes in With 76. BY ARCH RODGERS United Press Staff Correspondent MUIRFIELD, Scotland, May B. Smashing the course record for Muirfield’s championship links with an amazing 69, Percy Alliss, British professional, led the field of 108 in the first round of the British open today. The Briton snatched the lead from Leo Diegel, the medalist, just when the American P. G. A. and Canadian open champion had turned in a brilliant 71. After a bad start which found him taking 39 strokes to the turn, Walter Hagen, who is defending his title, pulled himself together and came home in 36 for a total of 75, which leaves the champion well within striking distance of the leaders. “Haig” Shows Greatness “The Haig” showed his greatness on the homeward journey, w’hich he had to negotiate through a rainstorm which caught him at the tenth hole. Ed Dudley, the young pro from California, who barely qualified by tying for last place with eight others Tuesday, shot a 72 today. If a long putt had not jumped out on the cup on the home green, Dudley would have had a 71. Alliss’ performance was all the more remarkable in that he took three putts on two greens, the fourteenth and seventeenth, taking a five at each. Showing Is Remarkable The leader’s showing was equally astonishing because, he has been unable to play golf for some time, due to the severe winter in Berlin, where he is professional at an exclusive club, as well as to the fact that he has been suffering from sciatica. Alliss’ card: Out 434-355-344—35 In 434-254-354—34—69 While Diegel, Abe Mitchell, MacDonald Smith and a few others turned in low cards, some of those from whom much had been expected were having difficulty today. George Von Elm. the lone American amateur in the championship, needed 79. Archie Compston, one of the British favorities, had 76, as did Horton Smith. Smith’s card: Out 554-344-446—39 In 551-545-333—37—76 Diegel Most Feared Diegel, who was putting steadily, is now most feared of all the overseas contenders for the open title. The British have a hearty respect for Leo’s magic touch on the greens, which is where the championship will be won. they believe. Diegel’s card: Out 541-345-344—36 In 444-344-4 44—35—71 Among the Americans, Little Gene Sarazen. who finished second last year when Walter Hagen won at Sandwich, was right with the leaders with a 73.
