Talking it OVER BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. April 9—The boys were sitting around chattering •bout 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.” .y?®’ 11 entirely aoronor. but pemosev lost to Tunnev the first JUT! outcome was so surorising ana Pr J^ B isT d ii th ® t a H lte ® ,ew earnest &ouis . th i *un cion that the champion haan t tried to win. l V aß ® z,ne ... art,clc - semi-fictional In to oortrav 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 comnanv of Mr. William Olbson. manager of Tunnev. the dav the magazine came bounding off the press His characteristic comment sized up Demosev. the a. nerfectlv that I find mvsell rewriting It much too often: That big guv couldn't throw a fight If fie wanted to.” And I don't believe he could, though It is a matter of record that he did take one on th* chin from Fireman Jim Flvnn some veers ag oj The books credit Flvnn with a one round knockout. Actually, it was the o and McOuffev. Dempsev explained the incident before. T S a L * a ? lhc onlv wav I could get the fight, he said. “I was busted and hungry. The SSOO looked like all the money in the world to me then.” i “i* 1 Jbe deception has never brought a flush to the Dempsev lowls or an aching twinge to the Dempsev conscience. It was a real knockout." he Insisted. I made sure of that I put mv law where Tivnn couldn't miss.” a a a GETTING back to the show in which Dempsey was starred, the stooge was supposed to go out in the second round. Naturally, it was 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 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 of baseball. Well. Dempsev hooked him to the chin in the second round. It didn't seem to be much of a punch. Just a swish with a <rood 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 parted. A full minute clicked bv and Smith was still on his feet swinging punches. Another minute passed and he was still standing up fightiiig with both hands. He was strictly against the manuscript. Prettv well winded himself bv now. Dempsev closed in on Smith and whispered “go on down, this is the second round. Don’t vou know vou are supposed to drop.” But Smith, wlde-eved and snorting, continued to throw punches until the bell sounded. Between rounds thev 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 tlir closing episodes had to be stilled while Demosev and the challenger went through the motion of knockout In an extra round. U U tt DEMPSEY still 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, then admittedly at his peak. Group B thinks otherwise, if at all. Dempsey was at the ringside the night Tunney fought his last fight against Tom Heeney. It was the first heavyweight championship fight Dempsey had ever looked at, and the first one of its species since 1919 in which he wasn't a principal. Dempsev rarelv comments on any fight. To him the bovs always do right. He is something of a professlonad diplomat. But he professed to be shocked that a guv like Heenev could hang around as long as he did with Tunnev. *'l can't figure out vet why Tunnev didn't stop him In two or three rounds.” he savs. Tunnev of course, was not that kind of a fighter. He didn't go in for auick knockouts or sustained attacks, He was devoted to those chaste intervals of feinting and holding that the boxing guild emphasizes. And I might add. if he had been anv other type of fighter, he would have flattened Dempsev in two or three rounds that night in the rain at Philadelphia. Tunnev wrote recently that he was at his height in battling with Heenev: that never before had he reached such a high noint in boxing. Mv owi, opinion is that Tunnev could have looked lust as impress slve against a large punching bag. I mean to sav anybody could have looked very good against Heenev. I agree with Dempsev. then, when he savs that he was surprised that a battler of Heenev’* mediocrity could aualitv as a finalist in a heavyweight championship. ' Rickard asked me to go out to Heenev's training camp one dav.” savs Dempsev. "To help the publicity." "I liked Tex and I wanted to see the show go over. I had never seen Heenev. I look one look at him and I turned mv head. No kidding. I did. The guv had mv sympathy.” Demosev was reminded that he had satd he thought he could have whipped Tunnev at his best. ' Os course. I can't be sure about that,” hr said. ' Still, the wav I look at it is that all 1 needed was a good pair of legs against him. and I didn't have them the two times we fought. I alwavs was a harder puncher and I think, could stand up under as much punishment. "I am prettv sure I would have got him in Chicago In the eleventh round if I could have moved around on mv legs. Placed in the same situation back in mv earlier fighting days—sav at Toledo against Willard—and I am positive I wouid have knocked him out.” I think so. too. but what does it matter? It was Willard that Dempsev fought at Toledo, not Tunnev. And if Dempsev's legs were bad at Chicago, can that be held against Tunnev? or Ziegfeld? or Babe Ruth? or what have vou. and who cares.

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 Times Sportx 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.

CHUCK GARRINGER, genial pro at the Speedway semi-public course, again will be in charge when T. E. (Pop) Myers unlocks the doors and swings the big fates back this week-end. Chuck says he feels ‘‘like a million” this spring and gives as a reason the fact that

he underwent two operations the past winter. One was to remove growths in his nose and the other to lift out infected tonsils. Any one who knows Chuck recalls he always has been a husky chap who swung into the gutta percha with great force. His disposition gave little indication he was suffering from

Garringer

physical ailments. Chuck also is secretary of the Indiana Professional Golfers’ Association and he will soon call the directors together and present the gavel to the new prexy, Neal Mclntyre. The dates for the 1932 state open tournament will be decided up and Chuck will then have another big job. With such a big season ahead, we are glad Chuck survived the operations and is feeling in the pink. a a a Several days ago, .The Times advanced the information that the park board, when announcing plans for the 1932 public links operation, would establish a reduced rate for players who work in downtown offices and shops during the day and play golf afterward. It was our Idea the upkeep of at least one course could be added to the coffers of the park board if the money was extracted from the pocketbooks of the working man and woman In a sane manner. Many had been heard to express themselves as disappointed they were unable to muster up two or three dollars a week for greens fees when they were able to get In only eight or nine holes before darkness overtook them. ana Three of the city’s public golf courses, Riverside. South Grove, and Pleasant Run. will offer 25-cent rates after 5 in the afternoon this summer. The cut rates plan, designed especially for downtown office workers, was voted Thursday bv the park board. The fees will be effective from May 1 to Sept. 1. according to A. C. Sallee, parks superintendent. Members of the board agreed with Sallee that hundreds now stay away from the courses in the late afternoon because the 50-cent fee for a short period of golf Is too expensive and that the new plan will benefit many.

Panama Negro, who holds the bantamweight title, that they must defend their titles this month or have them vacated under the six-months rule. BROWNS BUY SCHULTE By United Press ST. LOUIS, April 9.—John Schulte, catcher for the Minneapolis club of the American Association, has been acquired by the St. Louis Browns, it was announced at the St. Louis club’s office here. Under the terms, Minneapolis will be given a player In exchange for Schulte*! It has not been decided who y-Ui be shipped to the Millers,

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. Set for Fast Start 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.

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 all that saved him. Bob Osborn, former Cub, pitched fine ball for the Blues, allowing but five hits, but errors by his mates were costly.

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.

Frank Grube, young catcher, has received loads of boosting by Chicago scribes and many big league observers predict he is destined to become one of the greatest backstops in baseball.

Byrd Clouts Fourth Homer

By Times Special

NEW YORK, April 9.—Victorious in their first start, the New York Yankees moved into their home stadium today for the second battle with Brooklyn’s Dodgers. Featured by Sammy Byrd’s fourth homer in four days, the Yanks beat the Dodgers Friday, 3 to 1. It was a dull, dreary affair, dragged out in cold, clammy weather before 8.500 fans. Waite Hoyt pitched five innings for Brooklyn, but his wildness caused Max Carey to send in Bill Clark in the sixth. Charlie Ruffing relieved Herb Pennock in the six for the Yanks. Hits were even, with six each. Babe Ruth and Hack Wilson slugged to a draw, each getting one single, striking out twice and retiring on outfield flies once.

Young Giants’ Hurler Stars By Times Special DETROIT, April 9.—Hal Schumacher, the young right-hander whose fine pitching has brought much pleasure to John McGraw, Giants’ manager, turned in another sterling mound exhibition Friday, when he outpitched Whitlow Wyatt of the Detroit Tigers to give the New Yorks a 2-to-l triumph here. It was the fifth win in seven starts against the Tigers for the Giants. They play here again today and Sunday. Schumacher allowed but six hits, and the Giants also got but six. Considering the cold weather and the gale, the pitching was phenomenal. Two Feather Stars Upset ily 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. 0 Maxie Arrives for Title Tilt By United Press NEW YORK, April 9.—Accompanied by his trainer, Max Machon, and guarded by Donna Blanka, the meanest police dog ever owned by a boxer, Max Schmeling, world’s heavyweight champion, arrived in New York Friday and the steamup for the title bout with Jack Sharkey here in June was on. It was a jaunty and confident Schmeling that stepped from the Hamburg-American liner New York. Schmeling appeared healthy. He weighed 194 pounds, two above his usual weight. “I’m boxing better than I ever did,” the champion said. “I am stronger, and maybe taller. I am hitting much harder than I did one year ago.” United Cabs have entered the Em-Roe Senior League. Dlavinir Sunday afternoon ball. Next Sunday.
