Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Sept. 3, IT appears that only a mild flurry of excitement has been occasioned by the report that Jack Dempsey is getting ready to come back to the ring. At first blush this is rather surprising because Dempsey is about the biggest figure the ring has known in the last twenty years, and -he unquestionably was the mast popular kunckle duster since Sullivan’s time. na a , But Deraptcv orobzblr h* become ome* what passe as a public fieure and I suspect there is a srealnz feellue of doubt even amonr his friends as to whether he can flcht a lick any more. It also is true that even these tremendously popular notables In sport lose their identity veev speedily. To a *reat number of people toaav. Dempsey is Juat another fellow who used to flqht. an exchampion who hs dropped back to Join the leendarv Corbetts, the Jeffries. the Johnsons and the Willards. a a a I do not mean to suggest that there would be no Interest in the return of the old Mannassa Mauler but l don’t believe the enthusiasm this time would reach the proportions of a national hysteria. THE first time Dempsey came back he still was the champion. He was remembered for his thrilling battles against Willard, Firpo and Carpentier. Moreover, fie was facing a young man who was not exactly a great popular favorite. Not only was there an eagerness to see the champion back in action, but there was an unfathomable eagerness to see him beat this young man who had come to be known as the manly marine and Gentleman Gene. a a a A yoar later this eagerness still prevailed. If anything it had grown in intensity. Out of defeat the old champion had taken on anew popularity, a zealous •rmpathetie support. a a a As had happened before on infrequent occasions the public refused to acclaim the new champion. On the contrary a very definite feeling of resentment grew up against Tunnev. He had shattered an old idol and this was blasphemy. a a a So when Dempsey came back the second time, be was the sentimental it not the betting favorite and when be scored that dramatic knockdown in the seventh round there were very few people in the vast Chicago Stadium who did not leap to their feet with roaring cheers. a a a BUT that was a long time ago as the ring years are measured, and since that time the heavyweight division practically was gone to seed and Dempsey liasn't had a glove on, which means that he has steadily become softer and less effective. a a a Possibly it is true as ho claims that he can still topple over the stuffed shirts and that there are nothing but second and third raters in the game today. Still, it rema'ns to be seen whether the public would care to see him against this kind of opposition. At best, it would be a contest between a second rate veteran and a second rate youngster. NEGRO SCRAP DELAYED % Bn United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—The scheduled ten-round bout between Harry Smith, New York, and Gorilla Jones, Akron, 0., for the Negro middleweight championship, postponed from Tuesday night because of rain, will be held at the Queensboro arena Thursday night, weather permitting. Smith continues a 6 to 5 favorite.

Big Bill Tilden Retains Top Position Among U. S. Netters

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Despite his thirty-seven years and many seasons on the courts, Bill Tilden today is the only permanent fixture in American tennis. This clearly was revealed Tuesday when the United States Lawn Tennis Association announced the seeded list for the national men’s singles championship which begins at Forest Hills (N. Y.) Saturday. Tire list offers concrete evidence that tennis in this country is in a process of transition—a process featured by the decline of most of the veterans and the steady rise of the younger generation. The 1930 seedings were in the following order: William Tilden, Wilmer Allison, George Lott, Sidney B. Wood, Clifford Sutter. John Doeg, Gregory Mangin, John Van Ryn, Ellsworth Vines, Francis Hunter,

A classy card of rich events, with star fields competing for large purses, was.to be presented state fair harness racing fans todky. Topping the brilliant program was the Frank P. Fox Pacing Stake, worth approximately $12,000, for 2-year-old pacers. Other features were the Horseman Futurity for 3-year-old trotters, postponed from Monday, with a purse estimated at SB,OOO, and the Hotel Baker 2:10 pace for $5,000.

Six Bouts on Boxing Card at Harrison ► Tuesday night’s boxing card at Ft. Harrison was postponed because of threatening weather and will be held tonight, starting at 8:30. The original bill of bouts will be staged. Tommy Herman will have a slight weight advantage over Patsy Pollock when they meet in the tenround main go. At the weigh-in Tuesday.

Win and Loss foi* Peters Bn United Press Chicago, sept, 3.— The score card which Judge John H. Lyle keeps o!i Ernie Peters, 24-year-old Indian heavyweight, showed a victory and a defeat today even though the judge never has seen Peters lose a bout. Lyle was one of the judges in Peters’ last fight. He voted for Peters, who was awarded the decision. Tuesday, Peters was brought/ before the judge on a charge of committing assault and battery upon a restaurant owner. Lyle marked itew fi a defeat for Peters and sent him to the Bridew r ell to work off a SIOO fine. ' “If I ever catch you fighting out of the ring again, Schmeling’s reign as champion will be ancient history by the time you get out of jail,” the judge warned the boxer.

Frank Shields and Bryan Grant. Four additional places were created by the officials this year. Outside of Hunter’s amazing nose dive from third place to tenth, the most surprising feature of the “honor section” is the omission of three first-ten players. Fritz Mercur, No. 6; Wilbur Coen, No. 8. and Berkeley Bell, No. 9, in national ranking, composed the leftout trio. Jean Borotra’s decision to play was hailed by fans and officials alike. Tire Bounding Basque and Tilden, who are the two most likely finalists, should provide enough color, drama and laughs during the week to keep the stadium well packed. Borotra meets strenuous opposition the first day when he clashes with Berkeley Bell. Bell is capable of giving the dashing Frenchman a genuine battle. Tilden should have little trouble until the quarter finals, where he probably will meet Vines.

Babe Ruth Says

NEW YORK. Sept. 3. I RECEIVED a letter a fellow who apparently has been doing a lot of arguing about baseball bats. I hope it was only a friendly argument, because if he had any money bet on what he wrote me it won’t be his very long. He seemed to thinly that I always use a bat weighing fifty-four ounces,

and that some major league players use batS'that weigh only half as much. He’s wrong twice on these figures. I know where he got the idea of fifty-four, because I used to

swing a bat of |hat weight ind a lot was written about it. The heavy bat, some said, was responsible for so many home runs. I used to think that myself. But I know now that you don’t need so much weight and I have not used any such club in a couple of years. The bat I have been using all this year weighs forty-two ounces. Lou Gehrig uses a bat that weighs thirty-eight ounces. I don’t know if any slayers in our league use anything heavier than a forty-two since Ken Williams left. The one he always liked best to swing must have been close to forty-six. Maybe a player here and there'has one heavier; than mine. But £ doubt it. • \

This fan who wrote me seemed to think that a good many players use bats that weigh around 27 ounces. I don’t know of a player who would think of going to the plate with one so light. A fast ball pitcher would almost break it in his hands if the batter met a speed ball with a club like that. Even if the bat did not break there wouldn't be enough drive in it to carry a ball very far. I gusss the lightest bat in our league is the one that Dick Porter of Cleveland uses. That weighs only 32 ounces. Nobody on our club can figure how he ever gets a hit, but he gets quite a few. But you won’t see many hits like that with so light a stick. In fact I don't think you’ll see another bat that light in the big leagues. I'm not sure about the National, but it

Hunt Awarded Doubtful Edge

Bn United Pres&’ BOSTON, Sept. 3.—Alvin (Babe) Hunt, Oklahoma heavyweight, w'as awarded an unconvincing decision over Ernie Schaaf of Boston in a ten-round bout before 15,000 fans here Tuesday. Schaff appeared to have won five founds, while Hunt led in only four, the other being even. The .first four rounds w r ere marred by recessive holding by both boxers. The Boston heavy weight, however, had a clear edge in each succeeding round. The tenth was his best and Hunt was spent at the final bell. Schaff’s punches were cleaner than those of the winner, w r ho scored mostly with slaps to the head. „

Cleveland Ring Fans Fail to Show Interest in Title Tilt

Bu United Pres* & CLEVELAND, O.T Sept. 3.—lt may have been nine years since Cleveland fans had the chance to witness a championship affair, but if local interest in the forthcoming Young Jack Thompson - Tommy Freeman encounter is taken as a measuring stick, nine more years may roll around before they may be expected to clamor for titular boxing. Fans, or their potential equals, are showing an apathy toward Friday night’s welterweight title match that has the backers more worried about how much wall be lost than w'ho will win. Victory seems to be

is the lighest in our league, I art certain. Most ball players use bats weighing from thirty-six to thirty-eight ounces. Some start the season with a bat that weighs forty ounces arid as the season goes on the club seems to get too heavy. Then they cut down, Joey Sewell of Cleveland is a little fellow, but he always uses a forty-oufice club in the spring. He told me the last time I saw him that he was down to thirty-six and some days that felt too heavy. But he will not go below thirty-six. (Copyright. 1930. by The Christy Walsh Syndicate.)

Three weeks ago, the official prediction was a $60,000 jgate, swelled to SBO,OOO by jubilant press agents.

Bn United Press CAMP PERRY. O. Sept. 3. Sergeant L. C. Gentner. of the Oregon National Guard, today held the Wimbledon Cup presented ov the British Rifle Association, one of the world’s most coveted marksmanship trophies. He scored a perfect 100 to win the cup at the National Rifle Association matches here Tuesday. P. E. Ronfer of Norwood/ was second and Captain Joseph Jackson of the United States Marine Corps, Washington, D. C.. third. The match is fired at 1.000 yards, each man

solved for five hits in a row in the first stanza, but in three innings the big leaguers had passed the locals, 4 to 3. The score was 5-all in the fifth, but in the sixth shortstop Gelbert walloped the sphere out of the lot with Fisher .on ahead and that punch settled the contest for there was no further sedring. ' Bell, Lindsey and Grabowski each hurled three rounds for St. Louis and Van Alstyne and House worked on the Tribe mound. The Cardinals bombarded Van Alstyne for twelve blows in six sessions. Fielding features were contributed by Watkins and Gelbert of the visitors and by Monahan of the Tribe. The Indians turned in three double plays and the Cardinals one. Gelbert’s pastiming at short was especially brilliant. Narlesky was stfuck in the face by a bad hopper in the seventh and forced to retire and Jim Bottomley received a minor spike scratch in the first inning, but kept in the game until the seventh. Sunny Jim crashed a double off the scoreboard in the third. The big leaguer/ performed without much difficulty under the lights, though the visiting pitchers had some trouble at first with battery “signs.” Gelbert handled ten chances at short without a bobble and Watkins came through with a circus one-handed catch on Hoffman in the third. Pitcher Lindsey was knocked down by a Freigau hot shot in the fourth, the ball brushing his shoulder as he dodged in self defense. This drive was fielded by Gelbert and a f%st throw erased Freigau at first.

Dave Bancroft, former Giants’ shortstop who came back to the team as coach this season after managing the Boston Braves and playing at. Brooklyn, has had charge of the club in McGraw’s absence, and, in many quarters, is being named as the next manager of the Giants. There seems to be little doubt but that there is a rift, in the Giants' ranks. Many stories have been circulated, including one which said that Charles A. Stoneham. president of the club, strenuously objected to members of the Giants visitj mg Rogers Hornsby, who was rej covering from his ankle injury on | his farm at St. Louis, when the Giants w<*re out west. Several weeks ago a reported change in the ownership of the Giants brought a denial from Stoneham that he planned to sell his controlling interest of 51 per cent. At that time the Giants issued an official announcement under the signatures of Stoneham and McGraw saying that McGraw's absence from the team was due t<j “personal matters” and that he would join the club as soon as they were successfully terminated. In some quarters, it is said that McGraw has attempted to enlist of several wealthy backers to buy out Stoneham and assume the presidency of the club. Failing in this, the story goes, he has elected to resign as manager at the close of the present season. Only last spring it was rumored that McGraw would leave the Giants and succeed the late Miller J. Huggins as manager of ~ the Yankees. At £hat time Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yankees, said that he had made McGraw no offers, but that if McGraw - were free he would make every effort to obtain him. Bob Shawkey’s successful debut in his first year as pilot of the Yankees, however, has altered the situation somewhat, buk it, is believed McGraw’, if free, would be given careful consideration by Colonel Ruppert. McGraw became manager of the Giants in 1903 and w r on his first pennant the next season. In twentyseven years at the helm of , the i Giants he has won ten pennants, finished second eleven times and third three times. The Giants, under McGraw, have finished below third place only three tim^s— eighth in 1915, fourth in 1916 and fifth in 1926. He led the Giants to three world's championships.
