, flEHPSEY STILL GOOD; r PARTF1ERS' CALIBRE SHOWS CONFIDENCE

Br FHAXK ti. UE5KB A man is known by the company he keeps and a fistic champ by the calibre of his sparring partners. Any time the leader of a pug division! uses the roughest, toughest citizen he can Ilnd for his training days. It's an Indication that he's still good still able to give and take. But the minute that bloke takes the bohunks unto himself for battling purposes it's

the surest tipoff that he's no longer what he used to be. A fighter usually knows - -whether he's good or bad; -whether he's still among those present or a near hasbeen. If his conclusion Is the former, he has no fear of being shown up by his camp partners. But if It's the latter he surely -will balk at having tough lulus in his retinue. While in Toledo training for the Jack Dempsey doings, Jess Willard religiously avoided having a good man work against him. He knew that one or two walkouts against a hard guy would prove quickly to the world that he no longer was there or even thereabouts. Likewise he knew if he were shown up by a partner, news of It would get to Dempsey and that Dempsey's confidence would be increased. Fought Dubs. So he clung to Jack Hemple, little

more than a middleweight who was a

terrible excuse for a champion's spar

ring partner. Walter Menahan, years and yet more years from his third

rate greatness of long ago; Jack Heinan. fat. out of condition and with a

glass jaw and a putty-like stomach.

Willard showed well against that

trio because, bad as he was, his partners were a hundred times worse. And because he was hitting and not getting hit by these ring manniklns, some "experts" were fooled into be

lieving he was in shape.

The same thing was true of Jack

Johnson.

While the negro was at the peak of

his career training for Jim Jeffries in

1910 he sought the toughest sparring partners he could find. He wanted 'em rough the rougher the better. For he was in such condition then that the fiercest kind of workmen could do nothing more than to extend him and to help him to achieve the pink of condition. But in Havana how different! Johnson Slipped Johnson had Harry Wills In his camp. But he never worked with him at least in public. He knew the reason why. He did work with "Steamboat Bill" Scott, a middleweight, and other dubs he could toss and cuff around with his eyes closed. But Jack refused to expose his real form by making an appearance against a single man who could have forced him along and exposed that he was ,but a shadow of his former self. Carpentier used a fourth-rate French heavy, his own bottle-bodied cook, and an American middleweight as his sparring partners. None ever gave 1 him a decent workout. He clung to them, however, because ho probably realized that if he took on some ruggod, two fisted battlers they would show him up. It's just as well for Tex Rlckard who ran that show that the French buttercup surrounded himBelf with such dubs that he, in comparison, looked

so good. If he had picked out some of our second or third rate pugs, or some of the tough youngsters, he might have been shown up so sad-like that JV it would have served as a wet blanket for thej fight. So All Along It's been so all along the fistic lanes.

Sullivan had good men in his campJ

when he was good. When he started to slip he used mediocre men. Jim Corbett used the best men obtainable up to 1897. Then he thought so little of Bob Fitzsimmons that he didn't think it really necessary to get great men to work with him. He wasn't trained perfectly when he went into the ring and he lost. Fitz thought Jeffries a set-up. He trained for him largely on beer. The workouts he indulged in were -with

dubs who did little other than play jester roles for pugilism's king. Yes, oh. yes, Fitz was beaten. While Jeff ruled he always was careful to get the greatest sparring partners available. After he had whipped every one he retired. He was influenced to do a comeback in 1910. He knew, even as he started to train, that he wasn't the Jefferies of old. So he carefully avoided selecting good men to work with. He surrounded himself -with veteransor dubs. They couldn't give him, bad as he was,' a good stiff workcut. But they did serve the purpose of making a public believe that because Jeff worked well against them that he was in good condition. I While Dempsey continues to fill his camp with good men, some fast, some clever, some good at taking and others good in the matter of socking, it can

be assumed that he is still great that he is still superlatively confident 0 , and still eager to be in the "pink", no matter what the cost. Eut the day that the champ grabs old ones, extremely young ones, hasbeens, end never-wuzzers that's the day to lay the bankroll on the other fellow.

scores with the men who write about

their speeches." The clash will occur

at anr early date. '

"I am authorized to say " Senator

Hitchcock wrote in accepting the chal

lenge, "that we can muster 12 alleged

Statesmen who would be glad to gam

bol on the greens with a like number

of the fourth estate." .

The senator laid down as a condition

of the, match "that the losing side

should provide a chicken dinner for

the entire party. "The suggestion," he added, "that undue attention will not be given in the newspapers to our efforts is received with resignation. We are accustomed to this treatment." The tentative senatorial lineup for the contest is Senators Hitchcock, Hale, Edge, Frelinghuysen, Kellogg,

Capper, Walsh (Montana), Sheppard, Elkins, Newberry, Pepper, Robinson,

EAGLES WILL HAVE FAST INFIELD SUNDAY

One of the best games yet played in the Commercial league, of the Community Service, was staged at Exhibition park Wednesday evening when the Bakers defeated the Himes Dairy team fcr the first time this season. The Dairymen staged a rally in the fifth inning which netted three runs, but. they could go no farther. .Three runs were garnered by the "Bakers in the initial inning and one more in the fourth, which seemed enough to win easily. The rally by

the losers caused the Bakers to tighten and the spurt fell short just

one run. Dunham pitched good ball lor the winners, allowing but four hits to the

losers, while his teammates were hitting the offerings of Nicodemus for

nine safeties. Dunham also collected

three hits out of as many times at bat " Scoring by innings R H E st Bakers 300 100 ( 9 2 Himes 000 030 3 4 0 C. Dunham and H. Dunham; Nicodemus and Thornburg.

ANOTHER RED FIND Is Pitcher Keck. This rookie drew Pat Moran's attention when said youngster pitched

a good, game against tne uincmnau team last spring during the Reds' exhibition jaunt. Pat kept an eye on the lad and when he had knocked off 10 victories for Springfield, Mo., in the Western Association Moran grabbed him. - Keck attracted some at'cn'.'.on last season when he became the nominal leader in the Western circuit by win

ning eight out of 12 games in whicn he appeared. He was credited with

only one defeat. Old-timers who have seen Keck in action say he has all the motions

of Joe McGinnity, whose iron arm is

still in action. This ought to make Pat feel pretty good.

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, June 22. Because of Shawkey's effective hurling, Huggins' awakened Yankees defeated Cleveland 7-3 and by virtue of the league leading Browns 5-0 loss to the Mackman, have advanced a full game toward the

top of the ladder. They were one and a half gamo behind "St Louis today.

Ed Rommel's curve offerings were

elusive of the Brown batsman's eyes and the Browns gathered but four bin-

gles, while Wright and Danforth were touched for 11 swats and a quintet of

runs. George Sisler escaped with an

other stolen base, his twenty-fifth of

the season.

The Red Sox in two Innings, count-!

ed nine runs, enough to beat Cobb s advancing Tiger band 9 to 8. The White Sox developed a ninth inning punch to win from the Senators 5-4 and went into a fourth place tie, with the Indians. Washington now occupies the fifth position. Brooklyn in a game of many hits and errors and pitchers, engaged in a nose and nose contest with the Pittsburgers, beat them 15-14, and tumbled them from the third position in the

National league. The Pirates out-hit the Superbas but they made six

errors, most of which contributed to their opponents run column. The Pirates used five moundsmen and their ace. ' Adams was credited with the loss. Five of the Superba hurling staff were employed. The Phillies in . a six-inning affair with the Cubs got three home runs, but lost 6 to 3. Rain prevented the Giants-Cardinals and the Red-Brave contests.

Latonia today of the Harry Payne Whitney's horses completed the round

up of the "million dollar field" of

thoroughbreds that will face the bar

rier in the 50,000 Kentucky special race Saturday. All the entrants have been given tryouts that were satisfactory to their trainers.

After Morvich had worked an easy mile and an eighth in 1:54 yesterday,1 his owner, Benjamin Block, said: "We liked Morvich's work very much. He did it with all his old time willingness. There was no need to go faster. He has his speed and when he goes to the post on Saturday, he will be ready to

do his best." ' Olympus and Whiskaway were given their final workouts yesterday before being shipped and probably will be breezed only short distances Friday to put them on edge. Jockey Penman will ride Whiskaway Saturday: Mor

ris will be on Olympus, and Miller on Pillory, R. T. Wilson's - Preakness winner. Believe Has Surprise Deadlock, the Shannon Lafoon stable representative, i3 said to be pounds better than when he won the Ten Broeck handicap, and Trainer Shannon believes he has a surprise in store for the eastern section. Thebaux also has worked satisfactorily and his owner and trainer think him capable of splintering up the big fel

derby, had his final preparation for

the big race yesterday when he ran a game race and won the Morvich handicap, covering the mile distance in

1:39 4-5.

Among the prominent persons who are expected at Latonia Saturday to

see the race are the governors of Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, and James M. Cox, former governor of Ohio.

TENNIS INSTRUCTION FRIDAY Lois Edward3 will give tennis instructions Friday afternoon on the Earlham courts for all women beginners in the city desirous of a knowledge of the finer points of the game. The class will start at 5:30 o'clock for members of tne Richmond Tennis association.

Why not get the Cincinnati Reds to Richmond for an exhibition game, sometime in the future? They drew a big crowd at Exhibition park when they were here a few years ago, and the Richmond fans are hungry for a look at a big league team.

cure for chills. Before the doctor had a chance to reply, the first man spoke up. "I kin tell you a surer remedy than Doc kin," he said. "You just take a twine string and make a knot in it for every time that you've had a chill. Then the next time you have one, you catch a frog and tie that thar string

around him so it goes under one front leg and the other hind leg and turn him loose. You won't never have another chill. But if you tie one more knot in the string than you have had chills, you'll have the hardest one you ever had in all your life."

line-up which will be strong enough to meet any of its kind in this section. Detroit was let down in its first

defeat after winning eight successive battles. Boston, coupled with the

pitching of W. Collins, turned the trick. Thirteen hits were garnered by the Cobb men, however. They showed no slump in this game, only losing by one run and they have' all the chance in the world to keep on climbing. Brooklyn Nationals are now in third place, by winning over Pittsburg in Wednesday's game. The Dodgers

have a live bunch. The Richmond fans will have something to witness when "Russ" Hawekotte appears on the mound for Farmland in the game with the Richmond Eas;";es at Exhibition park Sunday afternoon. Hawekotte has been going

good with the visitors, and will be well matched by Flaherty, the newest arrival of the Eagles.

(By Associated Press) PARIS, June 22. Public sentiment in France is in favor of a return match between Georges Carpentier

and Jack Dempsey, according to a vote taken by the sports newspaper L'Auto. In this poll 15,783 voted yes and 5,227 no to the query: "Is a Carpen tier-Dempsey return match desirable?" X Carpenter's plans for future bouts do not take Harry Greb, the American light heavyweight, into consideration; in fact, he displays an unexplained annoyance when the Pittsburgh fighter's name is mentioned. Carpentier's manager, Descamps, Is arranging matches with the pre-his-toric second-rater, Dick Smith, of Eng

GOOD WITH LEAGUE

Ovid McCracken, of New Paris Ohio, who pitched a four hit game for Lynn against the Richmond Eagles here last season and enabled Lynn to win 8 to 5, is doing good hurling for the Cedar Rapids team of the Mississippi league. McCracken's pitching record head'?, the list in the league, winning seven games and dropping two, or a percentage of .778. In a recent game with the Dubuque team of the league, he held the opposing batters to three hits, while his team mates were hammering out eight hits for six runs. He shut-out the Dubuque nine in this game. Richmond fans will remember the rpeed and control which McCracken had on the ball when pitching against Lhe local Eagles last season. He is a right-hander and is very effective.

The Reds were held up again Wednesday by more rain at Boston. Their next meeting will be at Pittsburg with the Pirates. Babe Ruth is now sorry again over the little argument with Umpire "Bill" Dincen in a recent Cleveland-New York game on the former lot. Ruth was sorry the last time, but he seems unable to keep his hands out of things. Minneapolis and Indianapolis open a scries at Indianapolis Thursday to determine which team will lead the associatton. The two teams are chockfull of live ball players and a close series is expected.
