FROM the columns of the Cleveland Press proving that pennant fever calls for big business preparations: “In a week after the Cleveland Baseball Co. receives authorization from K. M. Landis, baseball commissioner, to accept reservations for the World Series—if Cleveland wins the pennant—accommodations for 100,000 specta-

tors will be provided at the Stadium. “C. C. Slapnicka, general manager of the ball club, today told of plans for increasing the seating capacity of the mammoth lake front arena which have been under discussion by officials of the club {for about three weeks. As pointed out in The Press two weeks ago, the scaffolding utilized the Notre Dame-Navy football game last fall, on which thou-

for provide space for additional

sands of extra seats were installed, woudl field boxes. “The Cleveland club officials have been investigating the feasibility of installing new boxes in front of the present boxes along the foul lines, providing three or four rows of seats. More chairs will be placed in the boxes than customarily are there during season. These will take care of several hundred fans.

The Judge Has Complete Jurisdiction

THE FINAL decision of seating arrangements, additions, standing room, prices of seats and standing room, sale of tickets, radio is up to Mr. Landis. He has complete jurisdiction.

World's Champs Have Taken Five Straight From the League's Two Leaders—Reds’ Pitchers Falter.

“THE World Series opens in the National League city Wednesday, Oct. 2. The second game will be plaved there, too. Games on Friday, Oct. 4: Saturday, Oct. 5, ana Sunday, Qct. 6, will be played in the American League winner's park. “Any other games required would be played in the National League city. Prices, to be set by Mr. Landis, probably will range from $1.10 (bleachers) to $6.60 (boxes). “Cleveland Stadium has 6412 box seats, upper and lower. Most big league ball parks have at least twice that number. The largest baseball crowd ever in the Stadium was the 79311, paid, on Sunday, July 31, 1932, when the arena was opened to American League baseball.”

Carter Suggests Dempsey Try Dorve Roche SE % LLOYD CARTER. the local wrestling promoter, thinks Jack Dempsey is taking in too much territory when he says all wrestlers are pushovers, easy to smack and otherwise complete flopperinos when faced by a boxer . In other words, Carter intimates Jack's opponents in his several boxer-wrestler matches have been handpicked to save the Old Mauler from getting thumped and injured. In a recent interview given Henry McLemore, United Press writer, Dempsey made a laughing stock of the grapplers, raw-hided them no end and discounted their ability to take a punch and come back for more. “Evidently Jack shopped around for safety’s sake and made sure he wasn't getting anybody too young and tough before accepting matches,” said Carter

They had & fraternny outing—Kappa Sigma—out at Meridian Hills yesterday and it turns out that some of the best golfers in the state are among the “frat boys” who wear Kappa Sig insignia. Bob Talbot of Indianapolis paired with his brother Phil of Bloomington and finished all even at 3 in a best-ball match with Tim David and Glenn Woodward, both of Bloomington. Bob shot an 85, Phil a 76, Tim, %8, and Glenn, 79. John David, state amateur champ, was to have paired with his brother Tim in a brothers-against-brothers match, but Yohn wasn't feeling exactly up to par. Besides, he's scheduled to start play tomorrow in the qualifying round of the city amateur at | South Grove. | Left to right in the picture here are Woodward, Tim David and Phil and Bob Talbot.

“I BELIEVE any one of at least six wrestlers who have appeared in Indianapolis this season would make Dempsey jump out of the ring. | “Dorve Roche is one of them and he's itching to get a crack at Jack for a sizable side bet, winner take all. or on any percentage terms the old champ suggests. As for my dough, it would ride on the ex-Illinois coal miner. “And there's Ray Steele, to name another who would probably have Jack tied in knots and helpless shortly after the bell. Dempsey is simply too old to climb into a ring with a high-grade wrestler.”

Experienced Speed Set-Up at State Fair

HARNESS RACING at the Indiana State Fair this vear will have as its director Charles R. Morris of Salem, Ind, member of the Indiana Board of Agriculture in charge of speed, aided by the expert advice of Harrie Jones, veteran Rushville horseman whose connection with the Speed Department has been a factor in the successful meetings at the State Fair for vears. Steve Phillips of Xenia, O., whose services as starter have brought him into action at most of the famous harness tracks, will serve here in that capacity He will be aided by James E. Green of Muncie, J. L. Kennedy of Connersville and Mike Ankrom of Portland—all experienced harness race judges. The timers this year will be Hallie Wolverton of Albany, Earl J. McCarol of Anderson and Rolla B. Davis of Marion, while the efficient Fred Norrick of Muncie again will be back at his regular position as clerk of course.

By FREMONT POWER By a series of quick knockouts, Indianapolis is fast acquiring a poor man's Joe Louis, or what might be called an amateur Brown Bomber. The bomber in question is Jethro Jeffers, a heavyweight from the well-populated statle of the Leeper A. C. As much with his reputation as with punches, Jeffers won his eighth straight lccal knockout last night in what amusingly was billed as the headline bout of the weekly program at Sports Arena. The victim this time was Rube Jones, announced as a Lafayette Golden Gloves champion. Jeffers originally was scheduled to fight Leo Moore, a CCC scrapper from Nashville, Tnd., but when he arrived at the Arena, Matchmaker Fred DeBorde decided that Moore was in no condition to fight. Jones had come down from Lafayette to challenge the winner of the bout, and so DeBorde took the opportunity to put him in the ring. After a few minor brushes of Jeffers’ gloves, Jones evidently decided he must have been in a trance when he decided to take

on the “Local Joe Louis.” He crouched, put his arms about his head and didn't come out of the shell until the bell. He slipped to the floor once before the bell sounded and was Judged unfit to leave his corner when time came for the second round Evidently he was wondering whatever got into his mind that made him want to meet Jeffers.

still was weaving about on his stool, occasionally peering about to see how his performance was going over with the crowd. The crowd, let it be said, didn't like it at all. But you can hardly blame the matchmaker. Finding a good match for Jeffers is like trying to get Mr. Roosevelt to debate Mr. Willkie. The surprise action of the evening was furnished by Charlie Spurling, an unattached welterweight, who had to fight a man much taller and with a much longer reach. Whirling Spurling came out like a windmill in the first and had Bud Parliman, Washington A. C., twice hanging on. Then in the second Spurling caught him with a right uppercut. Parliman went down like a bomb, took a terrific bump when his head hit the floor snd lay senseless. After his handlers had brought him to and helped him out of the ring, he had only a two-word epithet to express his utter sure prise. ‘In the semi-windup, Milton Bess was given & close decision over Jack Durham, unattached

welterweight. It was an exhibition of well-executed boxing technique minus any hard punches, The other matches: William

Reed, Bess A. C. bantamweight, won by decision from A. C. Lee, Hill C. C.; Elmo Latta, Leeper A. C. bantamweight, decisioned Rusty Patterson, Washington A. C., one of the gamest fighters to show last night, incidentally; Buddy Jones, Leeper A. C. lightweight, won by a technical K. O. over James Shelton, unattached, when the latter decided to “give up the cause”; Louis Hewitt, Leeper A. C. lightweight, decisioned LeRoy Reed, Bess A. C., in three rounds, and Clyde Domer, English Avenue Boys’ Club featherweight, won over Danny Shea, unattached. Because of the failure of Bennie Truitt, Terre Haute, to show, Arnold Deer of the South Side Turners met Buddy Noel of the Leeper A. C. and lost by decision after three rounds of hard fighting. Next week's headliner will be between Charles Duncan of the West Side A. C. and Vic Hutton, national A. A. TU, light heavy champion from Indiana,

Haute, and the Muncie.
