Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, April 9—The boys were sitting around chattering about William Harrison Dempsey and with him. You may remember the gentleman better as Jack Dempsey, the prize fighter. Someone asked Mr. Dempsey what was the funniest experience he ever had in the prize ring. "I was in a show once,” he replied. "and what I read and was told, that must have been my funniest experience.” Not that it Is entirely apropos, but uhen L*mnsev lost to Tunnev the ffrst time the outcome was so surprising ana one sided that quite a few earnest souls the suspicion that the champion ha.-n t tried to win. A magazine article, seml-nctional In character sought to portray the back stage scene in which Tunnev was pictured rs having received the title on a carved ebonv serving trav. Your correspondent happened to be in the company of Mr. William Gibson, manager of Tunnev. the dav the magazine came bounding off the press. His characteristic comment sized up Dempsev. the fighter, so perfectly that I And mvsell rewriting it much too often: That big guv couldn't throw a fight If he wanted to.” And I don’t believe he could, though It Is a matter of record that he did take one on the chin from Fireman Jim Flynn some •ears ago. The books credit Flvnn with a one round knockout. Actually. It was the old Mcpuffev. Dempsev explained the incident, before. "That was the only wav I could get the fight.” he said. "I was busted and hungry, The *SOO looked like all the money In the world to me then.” , Rut the deception has never brought a imsn to the Dempsey lowls or an aching twinge to the Dempsey conscience. ‘lt was a real knockout.” he insisted. ”1 made sure of that, I put mv Jaw where Tivnn couldn’t miss.” a u tx GETTING back to the show in which Dempsey was starred, the stooge was supposed to go out in the second round. Naturally, it watr up to Dempsey to pull his punches. It meant nothing to him to knock out a stage hand. An odd thing happened a few nights before the show closed. Ralph Smith was on as the stooge. An old ball player, if you remember. They used to print pictures of him biting nails, bending horseshoes, and all that sort of stuff. They called him the iron man ol baseball. Well. Dempsev hooked him to the chin m the second round. It didn’t seem to be much of a punch. Just a swish with a good theatrical grunt behind it to make everything look all right for the customers. It developed, thougn. that there was much more power behind the punch than Dempsev had realized. Our Pal Smith was supposed to go out a few seconds after the second round started. A full minute clicked bv and Smith was still on his feet swinging punches. Another minute passed and he was still standing up fighting with both hands. He was strictly against the manuscript. Trettv well winded himself bv now. Dempsev closed In on Smith and whispered "go on down, this Is the second round. Don’t vou know you arc supposed to drop? But Smith, wlde-evcd and snorting, continued to throw punches until the bell sounded. Between rounds they brought him too with smelling salts. He had been knocked out., out on his feet bv a real 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 motion of a knockout in an extra round.

Root Stars as Cubs Triumph By Times Special KANSAS CITY. Mo., April 9. Manager Rogers Hornsby’s choice of Charley Root to pitch the Chicago Cubs’ lid-lifter against the Reds at Cincinnati next Tuesday proved a wise one. Root blanked the Kansas City Blues with three hits for five innings here Friday as the Bruins turned in a 4 to 3 triumph. Burleigh Grimes was wild and in constant trouble during the last four frames and a ninth-inning double play tsarted by Woody English was nil that saved him. Bob Osborn, former Cub, pitched fine ball for the Blues, allowing but five hits, but errors by his mates were costly. TIGERS BATTLE I. C. GREENCASTLE, Ind., April 9.

TWO GAMES WILL CLOSE TRIBE EXHIBITION CARD

Indians Stand High as Flag Favorites Men of McCann Pointed for Swift Start If Weather Assists; Columbus Also Shares Popularity; Chicago White Sox Here Today, Sunday. BY EDDIE ASH Time, Sports Editor The return engagement of winter threatens to disrupt the final plans of the Indians to smooth their machine for the grand opening of the American Association season Tuesday and the athletes are showing deep concern over the handicap facing them. With the exception of illness that temporarily removed three members from action, Manager McCann, Jack Kroner and Curt Walker, the Tribe club reached the peak of physical condition Thursday only to be set back Friday when spring took a run out and folded up as chilly blasts took charge of the Ohio valley. The second tilt with the Cincy Reds Friday was canceled owing to frigid atmosphere and the men of McCann got very little exercise. The Chicago White Sox arrived Friday night and are scheduled to tackle the Indians today and Sunday, to end the exhibition program for the Tribe. Starting time of the Sox contests has been set at 2:30. Both teams were eager to play today to make up for idleness Friday.

Indianapolis and Columbus are sharing the advance dope around the league as pennant favorites with St. Paul also given high rating. The Saints captured the championship last year. On paper now the Tribesmen are given the edge, but the St. Louis Cardinal chain is expected to go to the rescue of the Red Birds with new talent if the Birds fail to jump off to a flying start. Tribe Looks the Part After watching the Indians through the long grind of spring training the writer believes Emmet McCann has conditioned his men to a point where they will be in a position to make swift headway from the outset of the A. A. race and Owner Norman Perry will be ready to plug any weak spots that may crop out during the heat of the title campaign. It looks like the flag for the Indians this year in their new and spacious park. The Tribe pitching staff is bolstered over 1931, the infield stacks up stronger, .the catching staff is the same and while the slugging Len Koenecke will be missed in the outfield the garden roster of this spring has produced right along and the club officials are confident they will be able to strengthen the pasture group if any of the fly chasers fall off in hitting. Gates Closed Monday The Indians will go through their final workout on Monday and the stadium will be closed to the public that day. Pilot McCann will send his pastimers through a light fielding and heavy batting drill and rehearse “signs.” In the late afternoon Monday the groundkeepers will take over the stadium and start “window dressing” for the A. A. lidlifter with Ownie Bush’s Minneapolis Millers. Archie Campbell, right-hander, seems to be the logical choice for the opening day mound assignment, with John Berly, another righthander, listed as second choice. If Manager McCann switches to a southpaw, Ernie Wingard will receive the call. Two Feather Stars Upset By United Press DETROIT, April 9.—Frankie Paul of Buffalo and Frankie Wallace of Cleveland won their first-round bouts Friday night in the world’s featherweight elimination contest, defeating Bushy Graham of Buffalo and Freddie Miller of Cincinnati, respectively. Both decisions were regarded as upsets in the boxing world, as also was the attendance of 2,645 persons, causing promoter Scotty Montieth to lose an estimated SSOO.

Millers Get Henry From Cubs, Day From Dodgers

By United Press .NEW YORK, April 9.—Pea Ridge Day, right-handed Dodger pitcher and well known hog caller from Arkansas, will become a member of the Minneapolis Millers in exchange for George Kelly, the Millers’ veteran first baseman, Brooklyn officials announced today. Because the Dodgers were hardpressed for a first baseman to replace the injured Del Bissonette, and Minneapolis had four first sackers, it is understood no cash was involved in the transaction. Day, who was christened Clyde V., has been with the Flatbush outfit only one year. During that time he did little to distinguish himself on the field, but became famous for his off-field antics, such as hog calling, diving into hotel fountains and breaking belts over his manly bosom.
