MERE BOY

Says Dempsey Tipped His Mill at Toledo and Gave Away Everything He Had.

By TAD -IALT CORRESPONDENT 1. N SERVICE) NV TURK. July SO THn-.pey is nly a. boy at the boxing same." said Jim Corbett last night while chirpinjf firhts with a bunch at his Bay Sid home.

lou Know -what T mean; I mean Just a. natural fighter who shoots it all without thinking- Say. he's another McOovern or Ketchel. They were just like him. If either one, of those fellows "ere taught the finer points of the game they would be rotten and Dempsey would b spoiled if they try to teach him. He reminds me of a millionaire spendthrift. He thinks it will last forever. Get me? At Toledo he tipped his mitt. He used everything he had in the first round: threw It away; wasted it. He should have conserved his strrngth when he saw that he had Millard heat-

n. He should hae made Willnrd move a bit; made him move his arms. See what I mean? Then Jack could have saved his strength, measured his man nirely and finished him. Instead of that he tore at Willard like a bulldog. Ho wanted to make the killing in that round. Willard was just strong enough to save himself. "Kid McCoy .or Choynski would have given Pempsey a merry time if he had been around when they were good. They could hit hard and hit like lightning. They would hae stalled him off for a few rounds and then you would have seen a light that would mak two Kilkenny ats look as though they were stalling. "Jeffries? Oh. a good fighter; yes sir; a tough fighter. He was so big. Tou get me? Hard to hurt and hard to keep away. He was naturally left handed, aiid take it from me that big left paw of his was always in your way. Pempsey and Jeff would have been a Moody

mess. Jeff's weight would have helped him a lot, too. He had tremendous! shoulders. Willard has no shape like) Jeff had. Although he is big A fairly! big man is hard to lick. They're al- ! ays on top of you. j "If this Pempsey ever loarns to eon-! trol himself he's going to be the bf st ; heavy we've ever had. As yet he's only i a boy at the game. He has to learn to save a little for the next round. That's'

his only fault as far as I can see."

He doesnt jump at conclusions, but it's safe to say that he is beginning to wonder whether Stallings is worth a ralary of $12,500 a year. A winning ball club in Boston would make a pronounced hit just now. The Red Sox are in disgrace and the fans are sore. If Grant can lay the foundation for a winner at Braves Field, therefore, the National league will be restored to favor in the Hub. Can Stallings bring- about a chanee of sentiment? If not, who will be the next manager of the 19H world's champions?

Charles W. Murphy, former president of the Chicago Cubs, has presented a trophy to the Western league for a series of games next fall between teams which finish firt and second in the pennant race. This announcement was made by President Tearney recently. The series will be staged within a week after the close of the season. The winning team will receive sixty per cent of the gate receipts and the losing- team forty. Seven frames will be played. James K. Crawford of Tulsa, Okla., has offered to guarantee the expense of the series if it 1 not a financial success. "The games will give the fans of the Western league a 'world series of their own," President Tearney said. "The trophy will be known aa the Murphy cup."

Croj-sing the rostlrss old Atlantic to seek gold snd glory on the Kuropean side is all well enough if a boxer has no title to loce. but we can call on no less a personage than Willie Ritchie for rroof that the Amerlt-nn champion m ho says at home is The wise guy.

All reports from the ringside agreed that Wilde was visibly done up and badly mauled, bleeding from the nose and mouth, and quite ready to call It a night's work, while Moore stood smiling in his corner, little the worse for wear and without a mark on him. Keferee Corri has always been noted as one of the most capable officials Kuropeon boxing has ever had. Still.

of Moore's aggressiveness went for nothing. In Jack Pempsey's case it aprars that he should make challengers for his title come to him if they want a chance to win it. There is no reason why he should be expected to go to London to

get a crack at Joe Beckett, or to Paris to meet Georges Carpentler. They have no right to expect it. and as Jack Kearns says. Pempsey has the undisputed right to dictate. Promoters on this side of the water stand ready and willing to go European promoters one better in the matter of offering purses for a championship battle between Pempsey and the best man

Ktirope can produce, so Beckett and Carpentier can make more money by coming hertSif they want any of Dempsey'a game. On September 2 the British champion wi!I meet Carpentler in a twenty-round battle in London, and he hopes to win the Frenchman's title as European chamrion. If Beckett ins he will probably hurl a challenge at Pempsey and then It will be time for Jack to dictate regarding the site for a battle.

TAGGING ALL THE BASES By JACK VEIOCK I. N. S. Sports Editor

. BAKKK'S heavy bat started the White Sox on a toboggan ride in their opening game with the ranks. Baker made a triple, two double and a single. HEAVY hitting, including home runs by Graney and Walker, featured both ends of a double-header divided by the Indians and Athletics. TONET gave the Pirates but three hits in the first half of a double-header, but Rube Benton weakened In the second game and Pittsburgh won It In the ninth. - THE Beds and Braves played flftyfifty in a double header.. Ring. the Brooklyn citizen, gave up but six hits in the first game. In the second the Braves scuttled Eller. BABE RUTH tied the American

league home run record, established byt Sox Seybold in 1902. when he hammered (

out his sixteenth circuit swat against the Tigers. RUTH'S homer failed to save the Sox. however, as Dutch Leonard was in form and Detroit won easily. SOTHORON'S pitching was too effective' for the Senators, who lost to the Browns. Sothoron contributed to the scoring with three hits.
