ANSAS CITY, Mo. Sept. 23. (U.P.) —The Northeast Aces, a football team composed of youngsters, resumed practice today but the field was several blocks down the street from the one that had been in use. The athletes held a sit-down strike on the front porch of Mrs. George Acord’s house to recover their football after she seized it because they frequently kicked it in her yard. Mrs. Acord said the ball had been recovered from her yard at least 89 times so far this season and only practice sessions have been held so far. Every time a youth recovered the ball, she said, he tore up some of the grass and shrubs she had spent so much time cultivating,

Mrs. Acord and the strikers fi-

from her house. She returned the | football. ; ; :

Rejoices, Recalling When He Wasn't

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—The gentleman who observed there are very definite therapeutic values in time made a wise observation. You are reminded of this when you try to get into Jack Dempsey’s place these days. Unless you are a strong, resolute fellow you can’t. The place has been taken over by the American Legion. The gay fellows in the funny blue toppers, in town for their annual mass madness, are lined up four deep at the mahogany rail telling one anothef what the old Man Mauler would have done to Louis, Schmeling agd Farr in ome round, and over in fhe restaurant Dempsey has developed writer's lumbago scribbling autographs. The rush of the years has healed an ugly wound. Dempsey the slacker has become Dempsey the great national favorite. Those mean and bitter days are gone and forgotten. Even by the men who fought in the war and resented that the foremost fighter in America chose a steam drill in a shipyard to a rifle in No Man’s Land. Right after the war this resenfment took on the form of a crusade in which the Legion, just developing organized strength, took a lively part. There were boycotts against Dempsey and thumping editorial blasts against his lack of patriotism in some of the newspapers. When he came into the ring for a fight he was booed and hissed as a slacker.’ A young fellow cage ouf of the war with the reputation of being a hard hitter with his right hand. His name was Bob Martin. He had won the A. E. F. heavyweight championship in the interallied games which followed the Armistice. An attempt was made to have him proclaimed the champion instead of Dempsey who had just beaten Jess Willard. It was a silly move but it wasn't lacking altogether in popular support. The country was still in a feverish mood and any conspicuous figure who had evaded or seemingly evaded service, was not held in high esteem. :

There is no telling how many men evaded service in one way or another, how many through influence wound up in soft, safe jobs. But because Dempsey was & professional fighter and because he had been photographed in a shipyard wearing patent leather shoes while manipulating a drill, he became the special target of the where-were-you-when the-war-broke-outers. The fact is Dempsey went into the shipyard against his own wishes. He wanted to go to war. His manager ruled against it. . . . “I've got it fixed up.” . . . In those days Dempsey, a

Yansick Paces - $12,000 Tourney

BELMONT, Mass, Sept. 23 (U. P.) —Charles Yansick, Tuxedo Park, N. Y. professional, became the first certain qualifier in the $12,000 international open golf championship today when he added a sub-par 70 to his 73 of yesterday for a 143 total over the 36-hole qualifying route. The comparative unknown birdied three holes—two on the outgoing round—to roll up his one under par Sore. He put together a pair of ’s. Only 30 of the surviving field of 154 had completed their qualifying play when Yansick fihished. The original starting field of 221 was reduced after yesterday’s initial qualifying round. By nightfall, 64 players will have won the right to start match play tomorrow for the $3000 top prize that goes to the triumphant pro. As result of his two low-scoring rounds, Yansick was assured of at least a $500 cut that goes to each pro qualifying.

raw, green kid with not too much intelligence, did little thinking for himself. He did what his manager told him to do. i Anybody who has known Dempsey

for any length of time must be convinced he is not the type who would avoid a fight. Any kind of a fight, whether there was money in it or not. He is by instinct a restless, adventurous, nomadic fellow, and at his age—back in the days when the guns weré roaring—a trip overseas to shoot at the enemy would have been just his dish. This is not presented as a belated defense for Dempsey. He doesn’t need a defense. (Never needed one in the ring.) All that is passed, anyway. And today Dempsey is just as popular with the ex-Doughboys as he is with his intimate friends. They come into his place early and stay late. The other night when he

arrived for duty an outburst of

cheering practically blew his hat Sf.

Brewers Lose

Again to Birds

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 23 (U. P)). —The Columbus Red Birds, winner of the American Association championship on the basis of the season’s play, today appeared virtually certain of a berth in the “Lit‘tle World’s Series” against the International League representative, Columbus won its second straight game of the final playoff series with Milwaukee by a 3-to-2 scere here last night before a sparse crowd of 2405. A big first-inning rally that netted all its runs was sufficient to give Columbus last night’s triumph. After getting off’ to the poor start, Forest Presnell, ace of the Brewers’ staff, settled down and blanked the champions the remainder of the way with but two hits. Milwaukee scored both its runs in the fifth to drive Pitcher Johnny Chambers from the box.

Centre May Give I. U. Stiff Battle.

From San Diego State College to the University of Maine and back again, that modern edition of the greatest show on earth—the national collegiate football circus—picks up Saturday where it left off last November. In Indiana, with every top flight team except Notre Dame scheduled to play, the week-end promises to provide a number of thrilling moments, Heading the state program is Butler’s invasion of Lafayette to meet the potent Boilermakers, who show promise of being a ranking contender for Big Ten honors. Purdue is reported to have everything this year. At Bloomington, Indiana University’s Hoosiers, hard hit by graduation, open with Centre College. The Playin’ Colonels, coached by Ed Kubale, a former teammate of Indiana’s: Bo McMillin, are minus the services of only one player from the 1936 team, and may make things hot for Indiana.

DePauw vs. Manchester

DePauw is expected to have ifs hands full against Manchester at Greencastle, but Gaumy Neal's team should have enough reserve strength to win, backers say. Wabash will send a veteran eleven on the field in its opener against Illinois College at Crawfordsville. Other state games include Oakland City at Franklin, Rose Poly (Continued on Page 27)
