Manager Leo P. Flynn coached Jack through three sparring sessions yesterday on rolling his head from left hand leads and it was especially noticeable that Jack worked flat footed most of the time. He got up on his toes while sparring mates, but when ‘the devasting punch was to be launched, Jack settled back on his heels for the swing. The day’s program each day, Flynn said, will depend upon Jack's appetite for work after he has finished his road jaunt of three to five miles. He did five miles up hill and down yes- terday, and after late breakfast went out for another walk. This deter- mined Flynn on_ giving the former champion a session with the gloves, and the same situation will control all the early boxing sessions until late next week when heavy work be- gins TICKET SALE SAID PAST $1,500,000 Chicago, Aug. 26.—(P)—Tickets for the Dempsey-Tunney fight are mov- ing at the rate of $100,000 a day and undoubtedly, Tex Rickard’s clerical staff said today, large blocks of them are going into the hands of specula- has jumped to fame before casting tors. his first vote.

BY BILLY EVANS The scarcity ‘of major league ball Players is certain shortly to cause drastic action on the part of the magnates to remedy. the situation, To my way of thinking there is only. one answer to the solution, the league clubs of various classifica- tions, where promising material can be developed step by step. The St. Louis club of the National Leggue is thé first club to put this theory into practice. Branch Rickey, a smart baseball man, who has been connected with the game in prac- tically every capacity, has success- fully worked out the problem for the Cardinals. At the present time, the St. Louis system is composed of the Cardinals as the parent club, with Syracuse the International League, Houston in the Texas League, Danville in the owning by the, big leaguers of | Three-Eve League and Topeka in the | ( Western “Associatio: lue Is system was proved beyond. a doubt this spring when Tommy Thevenow, star short- to respond with Heinie Schubl>, who was a Texas sandlotter this time last the scheme his limited. experience, has played remarkably well. More than 100 ball players are owned directly and indircetly by the Cardinals through this system parent club and sub-stations. A majority of these players are major league’ prosvects, signed up in the hope that proper schooling in the minors under competent managers will develop then all the more rapid! ywning these minor league plants enables the Cardinals to hold a big} advantage over the other major league ‘clubs. It makes it possible for them to beat the rule that after a player is farmed out for two years he either must be retained or sold. Has Good Prospects That the St. Louis club has. some excellent prospects in the making is made apparent by the fact that three of the St. Louis farm: Danvillé Houston and Syracuse are battling for the pennant in their respective 1 ization: ‘ ‘ake the make-up of the Cardinal} infield-as an example.
