Dt'FFALO, July 30.—1f you happen to l)e interested in the background of the prize ring, Buffalo is a good spot to explore. It was here that some of the most colorful chapters of the jrame were pounded out by men with granite fists. It was here that the great Frank Erne got his start —and finish—a finish that still .stands in the records as the quickest knockout in the history of the lightweight division. This was the historic <ight in which Joe Gans upended the Swiss with one punch. Charlie Murray saw that fight. Murray is the Tex Rickard of upstate boxing, a pleasant, active gentleman who has been promoting sports longer than any other man in the country, a matter of some thirty-odd years—some of which w*re very odd indeed. ' The strange feature of that fight,” reminisces Mr. Murray, “is that Erne was knock-d out twice. Or rather the effect was that of two successive knockouts. When Gans hit him he dropped as if he had been shot through the heart, and was counted out. Some time later, when he got to his feet, he tried to pull himself together bv stretching his arms and rising on his toes, and while he was doing this he toppled over on his lace, knock’d out all over again. I suppose the nerve shock hadn't completely spent itself when he got off the floor the first time.” a a a a m a THIS fight wasn't held in Buffalo proper. It was held across the river in Ft. Erie, Canada, in an old. historic club where all the great fighters of that era performed. It was in this club that the light-heavyweight championship was conceived and nursed to life. This was back in 1903. Jack Root *f Chicago met George Gardner of Lowell. Mass, on the Fourth of July for the first light-heavyweight championship that was ever decided in the world. 'lt was primarily a ballyhoo stunt.” Mr. Murray tells you. “Both Root and Gardner were heavy middle* eights. There wasn't any particular reason for their fighting. There was nothing at stake and nothing that could be steamed up. So the promoters decided to create anew class —the light-heavyweight class. Gardner won the fight In the twelfth round and thus became the world s first light-heavyweight champion. There wasn't much interest in the class at the beginning, and it was years before the public accorded it any serious recognition. a a a a a a ' I X)DAY the light-heavyweights occupy a very definite position in the A heavyweight division. It led to the first million-dollar gate in this country—the fight between Georges Carpentier and Battling Levinsky. You are right, the said about that fight the better. But just the same, it built Carpentier up to the point where he was acceptable as a logical opponent for Dempsey. I agree with all you readers that the Carpentier-Levinsky fight was one of those things not to be taken too seriously. But I must call your attention to a light-heavyweight champion who actually and honorably fought this way through the ranks. I refer to Gene Tunncy. He w T as a legitimate light-heavyweight. By the simple process of merely growing bigger and older he became a heavyweight—and then he was matched with Dempsey. Well, you know about that. But you may not know about Dempsey—the young amateurish Dempsey, and how he happened to get started. Buffalo was his town. Charles Murray was the man. It was all a matter of circumstances—very thin, uncontrollable things. It just happened that Buffalo was the town. It just happened that Charlie Murray was the promoter. What now is looked upon as the turning point in Dempsey’s career was an accident—both from the standpoint of the tow'n and the promoter. It is not anew story, but it is always interesting w'hen you hear it on the home grounds. Mr. Murray is more or less the central figmre. Dempsey doesn't figure at all. Mr. Murray had matched Jim Flynn to meet Carl Morris, both of whom were prominent in the white hope era. Nobody had heard of Dempsey. a a a ana I ''LYNN was something of a big shot. I don't recall where he w r as to meet Dempsey, but it was somewhere in the Buffalo district. At any rate, it was close enough to Buffalo so that Flynn stopped over. And stopping over, he saw Mr. Murray. You are asked to remember that Flynn had been booked to meet Moms a week or so later. “Who are you fighting in such-and-such a town?” asked Mr. Murray. “I am fighting a guy named Dempsey.” replied Mr. Flynn. “Just a punk. The last time I fought him I knocked him out in one round.” This happened to be the truth. It was a business fight. Flynn apparently knew nothing about it. At that time Dempsey was just a barroom bouncer. Someone said. ‘Take a punch and go down. It means five hundred bucks to you." Dempsey did He denies it now. but there are a lot of people around who can make him admit it was and is a fact. But this is beside the point, as far as Buffalo is concerned. Flynn went on to meet Dempsey—the punk—in the fight that was to be a buildup for the Morris fight in Buffalo—and Flynn against Morris at that time was just about as big a fight as anybody could stage. They were the tw’o guys who were crowding Jess Willard. Mr Murray very logically figured he was sitting on top of the world. This was a match Madison Square Garden would like to have. In the middle of the night the phone rang. His man. Flynn, was knocked out by a punk named Dempsey. Well, he couldn't bring Flynn in to meet Morris, so he decided to bring in Dempsey, a guy he had never seen or heard of before. And Dempsey went on from there and climbed the heavyweight ladder to the world's title.

INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY, JULY 30, 1934

The challenge round now stands at two victories for England and one for the United States. The outcome will be determined tomorrow when the two final singles matches are played. England can retain the historic trophy by winning either of these matches. America needs both to regain it. Wood Conceded Chance The final singles matches will pit Frank Shields against Fred Perry, England’s ace, and Sidney Wood against H. W. < Bunny) Austin, No. 2 man of the British squad. While Wood is conceded a fair chance against Bunny, Shields would score a startling upset if he were to top Perry, who is rated as the world's No. 1 amateur player. The Americans u'ere 20 to 1 shots when they walked on to the court today. The short end didn’t look so bad when the American w r ent into extra games to win the opening set, but the long end seemed the better one as Lott and Stoefen dashed through the second at love. Then came the British turn, Lee and the veteran Hughes speeding their game to take the third set. The English didn't quit after the intermission, forcing the Americans to play sixteen games before the issue was decided. Perry Given Rest Harold Lee, although a capable performer, was decided upon for the doubles only after England captured both of the first day’s singles contests. He w’as sent in in place of Fred Perry, thus giving the ace of the British squad an extra day of rest before his final singles match scheduled for tomorrow-. A brilliant sun w'as shining. There a slight breeze. Because of predictions that the Americans would w-in as they pleased fewer than 8,000 spectators were present.

THE thirteenth annual national public links tournament got under way this morning at Pittsburgh, Pa. Among the field was a classy Indianapolis entry of five members—Dave Mitchell. Walter Chapman, Charlie Boswell, Bill Reed Sr. and Mike PoUak. The

eyes of all Hoosierdom are focused on Pittsburgh and the performances of these five young golfers. But Indiana will have another interest in the eastern championship event. Word from the South Park Alleg h e n y county links, where the

r ij Lvssglr

tournament is being held, carries the information that George Lance, ex-Indiana amateur champion and a popular golfer in Indianapolis while he resided here, is also a participant in the tournament as a member of the Los Angeles eCal.) team. George ruled the roost of Indiana “simon pures” while in this section and there are many who believe he has a good chance of winning the national event. a a a WE recall the rainy Saturday back in 1927 when the final match of the state amateur championship was being held over the Terre Haute Country Club links. Johnny Simpson was defending his title over his home course and his opponent, anew entry that year, was George Lance. This spindly-legged young linksman, who had taken up residence in the Vigo county capital and opened a chain of root beer stands, was soon established in the minds of Terre Haute folks as a good golfer. He scored a couple of upset wins in the early rounds that week and Johnny Simpson readily admitted he would be a tough customer to beat. George took over the throne of Indiana amateur champion and held it four consecutive years, only vacating it because he wished to do so. He moved back to his former home, Los Angeles, and as a member of that team today will help defend the team championship the westerners won last year at Portland. a a a GEORGE played a practice round Sunday with the Indianapolis: team captain, Dave Mitchell, and it should be good news to local folks that Dave slipped in ahead of George by one stroke. Indianapolis; folks will also be glad to know that j Mike Poliak, another member of the; local team, carded a neat 77 and Walter Chapman a 78. Reed and Boswell each had. 81s. which made a pretty fair team showing for the Hoosier group. Blue river country club team of Shelbyville invaded ■ Hillcrest Country Club links yesterday eighteen members strong and went home oa the short end of a team match by the score of 28 ! i to 224. Low score of the day went to a Blue River team member, Red Thomasson. who hanged out a neat 75 Hillcrest's best amateur effort was by Chick Taylor, who had 79. He defeated Glenn Plymate, 2-1. In the feature match between the pros of the two clubs. Roy Smith of Hillcrest defeated the long-hitting Charlie Higgs. 24 to 4. Smith carded a 76. Higgs a 77. a a a Shelbyville was a couple of men short of haiing a full team to match

the locals, so Hillcrest helped them and to the tune of four points to two. Pete Lambertus, Hillcrest president, and Mark Hamer, club secretary, joined the Blue River team. Lambertus defeated Oscar Haug. 2-1, and Hamer scored a similar victory oyer R. A. Staudt. a a a SOUTH GROVE members are well satisfied over their new course layout. The changed rotation was used Saturday and yesterday by all who played the course, and to help matters the South Grove team defeated the Forest Park team of Noblesville, 37-14. Big Dave Mitchell was absent, but Ed Dorsett pinch hit for him and turned in a splendid performance against Massie Miller, Noblesville pro, losing by a 2-1 margin. Miller turned in the best Noblesville count, a 78. Kenny Loucks was the hot shot of the South Grove boys. His 75 was the best score turned in, and incidentally it enabled him to win possession of the Louis Baum trophy. a a a Play for the Baum trophy, which was a thirty-six-hole medal score test, began a. week ago and Loucks had a fine 70 to lead the field at the half-way point. His 75 yesterday gave him a 145 total and defeated Dave Mitchell by one stroke. Mitchell was allowed to- play his second eighteen holes before leaving for the east Friday to compete in the national public links championship. Ed Dorsett and Richard Carlstedt tied for third place in the Baum trophy tournament with 151 each. Vaughn King of South Grove scored better than any Noblesville efforts with a 76, while Charlie Brockman tied with Massie Miller at 78 and Bob Dittrich had a 79. These scores aided South Grove to pile up a commanding lead. a a a THE pro-amateur today was held at Greenfield Country Club with pros drawing amateur partners by lot. Some low scores are expected as the pros and amateurs are beginning to "bear down’’ for state open and state- amateur championships, both to be settled within the next month. Guy Pauloen of Ft. Wayne will defend his open championship title at Helfrich course, Evansville, over a 72-hole test Aug. 9 and 10, while Billy Bassett of Hammond will defend his amateur title at French Lick the week of Aug. 20. GARFIELD SPLASHERS TACKLE ELLENBERGER The Garfield park water polo j team will invade Ellenberger pool, tonight for a tilt with the Ellenberger paddlers. The Rhodius park girl team will oppose' the Red Cross All-Stars in a preliminary game. With captain Phil Reisler scoring four goals, the Ellenberger squad downed the Warfleigh Beach splashers at Ellengerger Saturday, 8 to 1. STATE SHOOT RECORD GRAZED BY STEVENSON Tom Stevenson came within five successful shots of breaking the state skeet record when he cracked 115 consecutive targets at the Indianapolis Skeet Club yesterday. Stevenson copped first honors in the 100-target event. The 50-target shoot was won by George Benefield with a perfect score. Free was second with 48, and Copper next with 45.

Hoosiers Split With Birds Over Week-end: Hauser Out for Year. TRIBE RETURNS TUESDAY Gala Welcome Is Planned by Fans: Washington Batting .384. BY EDDIE ASH Times Snorts Editor The topsy-turvy race in the American Association changed over the week-end as the Milwaukee Brewers won two double-headers and Indianapolis broke even in a pair of twin bills at Columbus. The Cream City pastimers sprinted ahead of the Tribesmen and grabbed off second place and Columbus moved up to fourth to drop Louisville to fifth position. The league-leading Minneapolis Millers met w’ith a sad blow which may cripple the Bushmen down the stretch and place anew outlook on the pennant fight as the teams battle for the A. A. laurels. Joe Hauser, home run king, was lost to Minneapolis when he fractured his kneecap. He will be out of action the remainder of the season. Hauser hit sixty-nine home runs for the Millers last season and already had collected thirty-three this year. He had been the big gun of the Minneapolis attack in nearly every department of slugging. Hoosiers Fight Back Red Killefer’s Indians lost, at Columbus Saturday in the first tilt, 7 to 6. but charged back to capture the second struggle in ten innings, 4 to 3. In the Sunday bargain attraction the Red Birds again annexed the afternoon opener, 6 to 4, and the Hoosiers fought back again to grab the nightcap. 5 to 4, by coming from behind in the ninth stanza to score three runs. The Indians and the Birds were to wind up their five-game series at Columbus this afternoon, and tonight the Redskins of Red Killefer will depart for Indianapolis to take on the Brewers at Perry stadium tomorrow night at 8:15 It will be celebrated as “Welcome Home Night” and a big turnout of enthusiastic Tribe boosters is expected to be on hand. Out of Bad Slump The Indians have been in enemy territory for nearly a month and have played in every city in the loop. The Hoosiers emerged from their western slump and promise to “get going” again when they reach the home grounds. Milwaukee is a bitter rival of the Tribesmen and heated action is promised during the visit of the Brewers that begins ’ tomorrow night. The Brewers will perform here tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. All games will be played under the lights. Milwaukee is leading the Indians by only one-half game and Minneapolis is out in front of the Brewers by two and one-half games. The Millers hold an advantage of three games over Indianapolis. The Columbus Birds, always tough to defeat at home, have climbed back to the .500 mark and are trailing the Minneapolis pacemakers by six games. Three Home Runs Vernon George Washington, leading hitter of the league, was prominent with the bludgeon for the Indians over the week-end. He blasted two home runs Saturday and one Sunday and is clubbing the sphere at, the remarkable pace of .384. Indianapolis rooters doubtless will greet him with wild acclaim when he first steps to the plate at Perry stadium tomorrow night. Rosenberg touched off the Tribe rally in the ninth inning of the second melee at Columbus yesterday. He singled and pulled up at third on Vincent Sherlock’s double. Riddle was tossed out by Myers, Rosenberg scoring, bringing the score to 4 to 3, Columbus. Sprinz batted for Logan and hit for twe cushions, scoring V. Sherlock with the tying run. Vance Page ran for Sprinz. Dudley Lee drew a walk and Klinger relieved Teachout on the Red Bird rubber. Cottelle batted for J. Sherlock and forced Lee at second, Page reaching third. With Sigafoos at bat. Klinger cut loose a wild pitch and Page crossed the plate with what proved to be the victory run. Sigafoos grounded out to retire the Indians in the ninth.
