Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. May 22.—There is something more than an outside chance that before many week! have passed the racket that is known as the prize fight business may witness the reunion on an amicable basis of the greatest combination in its history—namely, Dempsey and Kearns. a m a Both the tighter nd the nxnsger re willing to (trike *. fraternal attitude before booming flashlights and tear off a few stanzas of that rolliefcing tavern dong, -Pale Again.” AH that remain* is for some Interested diplomat to stagemanage the act. bub A number of circumstance* have contributed to the situation, the most important of which. I Imagine, is that both prospered consistently as a Hrra in the Seginnlng whereas neither is doing any too well aa individuals at present. 808 It Is also true that before the break .l* years ago Dempsey and Kearna were the cloaeat of friends, so It li more than probable that a few honest vestiges of this friendship have endured in spite of the various recriminations that have passed between the two in the public prints. That Ole Debbet time has a strange way of overtiming blazing hates, and mellowing feuds. BUB Through mutual friends. Kearns knows Dempsey would like to see the old firm back in operation in cauliflower row and Dempsey knows Kearns is eager to dust off the ballyhoo drums and start the headlines dancing in boxcar type. The boys seem to think their return in tandem style would create something of a public hysteria and that automatically all other artistic interests in the racket would dwindle to the obscurity of minor matters. In which reasoning they may be very wrong or very right. BUB From a reasonably authentic source. I had learned of Dempsey's changed attitude and that he up longer held anv particular animus against the man who developed him and sent him out against the ponderous Willard to become a world champion. B B Meeting np with Kearns at the Derby I buzzed him on the possibility of the two ever eoming back together. "If he wants to shake hands and forget. It’* all right with me.” he answered. “I don't know whether we can ever be the frienda we once were but I can't forget that we started together and at one time were eloae and happy." ana This was anew and different Kearns talking It had been years since I had heard him mention Dempsey except in the most scathing phrases. I thought I almost detected a faint note of sentiment in him. a a a But if he had stepped out of character he did not atay out very long. In the next breath he became the Kearns of old. the scheming planning, imaginative Kearns thinking wholly in cold terms of matches, gates, and ballvhoo. BUB do you know I could take that big guy and claim the championship for him and overnight we would have the heavyweight division back where it was when Rickard was alive.” And then he went on to show that j Sharkey and Schmeling were just a couple of other clog dancers, and that if Dempsey were to come back he would have a more legitimate claim to the championship than ■ anybody else. man •'He left the ring that night in Chicago ; after dropping Tunrey wtill the champion \ in Ihe eyes of the public. Nobody has beaten him since. And I imagine he is still good enough to turn in rome more good fights if he goes into training." ana Kearns neglected to mention that Dempsey probably would provoke Just as big a stir, if he stepped out and claimed the championship himself and offered to fight the outstanding challenger by wav of making the claim stand. Perhaps he Just didn't think of it. '

May 22.—Three important developments in the National League today commanded the attention of the nation’s baseball fans: 1. Acquisition of second baseman Hughie Crltz by the New York Giants. S. Continued success of the Brooklyn Robins In their new role of league leaders. S. Temporary collapse of the Chicago Cubs. 1929 champions. Almost overnight the Giants have been transformed into the National League s most dangerous contenders by Wednesday's trade which brought Critz, one of the best fielders in the majors, to the Giants from Cincinnati in exchange for pitcher Larry Benton. The Giants’ future infield of Terry, Critz, Jackson and Lindstrom bids fair to develop into one of the greatest. Terry, Jackson and Lindstrom are recognized as among the best players in either league at their positions. With Brooklyn continuing its dizzy pace which carried the Robins to the top of the league, members of the Giants believe the Robins are the team to beat to win the pennant. Only half a game separated the four leading National League clubs today. Brooklyn leads St. Louis by half a gamp, with the Cardinals half a game ahead of Pittsburgh, and the Giants half a game behind the Pirates. Brooklyn, in first place, is a game and a half ahead of the Giants in fourth place. Down in fifth place are the Chicago Cubs, 2!-: games from the top.

Louisville Club Here on Friday League Leaders Will Take on Indians Following Senator Finale. Washington park fans will get their first glimpse of the 1930 Louisville Colonels Friday when the league leaders invade the camp of the Indians for a three-game series and diamond interest is expected to perk up while the Tribe s ancient rivals are in town. A1 Sothoron’s club has upset all calculations by staying out in front and pennant fever in Derbytown is at high pitch. The Indians split a wild twin bill with them last Sunday in the only games played between the two nines this season. Some old A. A. favorites are in the Louisville lineup, including among others, Herman Layne, former Indian; Dudley Branom, hard-socking first sacker; Ben Tincuj. , Hank Deberry, Me Know Olivares, Simmons, Ganzel and Wilkinson. • In the meantime the Tribesmen had another tilt with Columbus today, the windup of the series, and Jonnard or Burwell was to get the pitching call from Manager Corriden. In the fracas Wednesday, the Indian pilot was compelled to use his secondary hurlers and the Senators ran wild to pile up a 11 to 3 victory, amassing fifteen hits and collecting ten bases on balls. A fiverun splurge in the opening inning off Elmer Ambrose sewed up the contest in the old bat bag for the visitors. Pid Purdy whacked out four hits, Crabtree smote two doubles and a single and Kingdon walloped a triple with the bases filled during the afternoon slaughter. Pete monahan hit a homer for the Indians, Freigau a triple and Warstler and Sicking hit doubles. Wykoff went the route for Columbus.
