ONCEDE om | he Splendid, Pewerful Body Punches Can Land | Should Insure Him Fight Gene JOB WILLIAMS aken too ask if Dempsey is any hetter than he a year ago. On the premise that he Idn’t be any worse and walk, the swer, a well modulated voice, is hellyes. I am convinced that the worst er- ror Dempsey made last year was his failure to fight at least one battler, one of the Riskos or Kenaults of the land, before the Battle of the Sesqui. Had Been Out Too Long Dempsey had been out of the ring “three years. No fighter can stay away from active ring service that lung and expect to com back a first-class foeman with his warring weapons 100 per cent perfect. All the trainin, he had done from March to September hadn't kept him from being rusty, hadn't keyed his fighting instincts to the point where he was able to grasp his one fleet- ing moment of golden chance at Philadelphia. I refer to that fourth round when Dempsey had a chance to win and, by his wn admission, he didn’t know it. His nervous system was clogged. The messages from the noodle to the fists were slow in coming through. Maybe Dempsey wouldn’t nave beaten Tunney last year even if he had fought tw. or three times be- fore. Maybe he won’t beat him this y But he wil. be in a position, because o2 his fight against Tunney, and his subsequent ht against Sharkey, to give Tunney a hard, testing fight. d if the chance like the one’ oped in that fourth round comes in this year, he'll, he'll—weil, he'll <nock the social lion of the t clear out into the lake, Tunney did not w Yankees Still Need One Game to Tie American League Record DXY PHANN It isn’t only on the links where a golfer makes a hole in the. green.

Gates to the fight were to open jat 5 o'clock, and Grant park, Chi- toi cago’s front yard, was to be cleared of every pedestrian and vehicle an hour earlier, Eleven viaducts lead to the park and none but ticket holders may cross after 4 p. m. i The stream of fight fans will be guided by a solid wall of policemen up to the gates where another row of sentires will sort them into the benches of the arena. Two thou- sand young men in the national guard and naval reserve, most of them veterans of the Army-Navy game last fall, will do the actual ushering, in charge of Tex Rickard’s veteran overseers, and their own officers. With a broad driveway on either side, access to the stadium will be easy—for those who go in taxicabs and busses. Private cars must go to the special parking spaces laid out on all sides of the arena, while the passengers walk the equivalent of several blocks to their stadium gate, Auto Traffic Barred All must go afoot from the arena after the fight, either to their pri- vate autos or to the transportation facilities of the loops. Driveways will be cleared of auto traffic. Chief of Police Michael Hughes issued an appeal to visiting autos to park far f.om the loop and ride street cars or busses downtown, so that Weare avenue an adjacent street. could be given over largely to pedestrians, Governor Small of Illinois, Gov- ernor Green of Michigan, and For-| mer Governor Cox of Ohio led the in- | flux of state executives. | Mayor Thompson of Chicago was host, official ur otherwise, to Mayor, O'Keefe of New Orleans; Mayor} Rolph of San Francisco; Mayor Dahlman of Omaha and many others who were his hosts recently on a western flood control tour. t Will Hays was followed by a long list of his screen celebrities, includ- .jing Joseph Schenck and his wife, Norma ‘Talmadge, Jack Pickford, Tom Moore, Mr, and Mrs. Coogan, Jackie's parents, and Gloria Swan- best vay \ aay : son.

How much better is a matter of con- jecture. He comes into the ring with two har fights under his belt. Whether that is important enough to bring him heme in front is another thing. Tunney is no worse than he was last year. Very likely he is better.

A, CONTEST TANGLED First Place Brewers Only Game and Half Ahead of Third Place Kansas City 9 (By the Associated Press) The Yankees today still needed one game to tie the American league record for games won during a baseball season. They hoped to win their 105th victory yesterday against Detroit and equal the 1912 mark of the Bos-| ™ Red Sox, but instead they showed how badly a championship club can play. Sam Gibson held the Hugmen to seven hits and had a shutout in the palm of his hand until one man was out in the last of the ninth. Then Babe Ruth knocked the ball into the right center field bleachers. The Tigers won, 6 to 1. Ten errors were written into the box score, and the Yankees contributed six of them. Ruth Needs Four Homers New York has seven games left to play and Ruth needs four more home runs to equal his 1921 record. Horace Lisenbee held the St. Louis Browns to five hits and shut them out, 11 to 0. A double by Red Rollings in the last of the ninth gave the Boston Red Sox a 3 to 2 win over Chicago.

A. A. Race Is Tangled Instead of clearing up, the three- cornered American association pen- ant chase was more tangled than ever today—four days before the end of the season. Only a game and a half separates the league leader, Milwaukee, from the third place occupants, Kansas| , City. Each of the contenders changed positions yesterday, Kansas City going from ‘irst to third place, Milwaukee from second to first, and Toledo from third to second. The standings and the games left to be played by each contender follow: Team Won Lost Games Left Milwaukee - 96 68 6 Toledo .... 95 67 6 Kansas City . Milwaukee has one game with Minneapolis and five with St. Paul, all at Milwaukee. Toledo has one with Louisville and five with Indianapolis, all away from Toledo. Kansas City has one more combat with the Saints and four with the Millers, all at Kansas City.

Jetfries, one of the heavyweight champions who tried to come back and failed, thinks that Jack Demp- sey will shatter ring traditions and regain his crown tonight. Opinions of other well known ringmen, fight managers and promoters were: Tom Sharkey—“I picked Tunney last year. I have changed my mind this time.” Johnny Dundee—“Dempsey will knock out Tunney.” Willie Ritchie—“One has to pick Tunney to retain his crown.” Tom Jones, veteran promoter—“It looks like a Dempsey night to me.” “Bull” Montana—“I feel that Dempsey will win.” Packey McFarland—“I believe Dempsey will win with the wallop.” Jimmy Dougherty, manager of ees Godfrey—“Tunney will win, but Godfrey will be the next cham- ion, if the titleholder will meet Fim.» Among the Tunney adherents were: Benny Leonard, Johnny Kil- bane, Battling Nelson, Jess McMa- on, George White, Irving Berlin, Arnold Rothstein and Ike Dorgan. California sports writers, movie stars and fans, with few exceptions, were solidly for Dempsey, including Barney Oldfield, Buck Jones, Lew Cody and several trainloads of others.

You see, This- ‘1 tlethwaite, who is Jhandling Wisconsin football this year, finds himself minus 12, of the men who played last year for Wis- consin. In_ this group of absentees are the tackles and most of the good backs that George Little had last year. Crofoot, who made himself quite useful during spring pvactice by helping Thistlethwaite coach the backs, should be the main cog in the Badgers’ attack this fall. He is most useful to his team as a field general, a receiver of passes, and a blocker on interference.

While thi-e western clubs have a. chance to cop this campaign, the entire quarvet of conten‘ers was' composed <. t-ams f.om the west in the most sensationa’ struggle in American League annals.
