But for that Ehmke would have accom- plished a feat never before record- ed to the credit of any pitcher in baseball history. “Cy” Williams’ homers came in » the seventh and eighth innings, and increased his home run record for the season to 37, two ahead of Babe Ruth. . Kelly was the hero of the Giants victory. He scored a home! two bagger and two singles out of four times at bat, and turned in three runs. Johnny Morrison of Pittsburgh registered his twenty-second victory of the season when he let Cincinnati down with five hits, and strengthen- ed the Pirates’ hold on second place in the National league pennant race. Erratic fielding behind Benton in the early innings gave Pittsburgh a lead which Cincinnati was unable to overcome. . John Watson, pitcher ef the New York Nationals, who drew a suspen- sion for breaking training rules, re- joined the club and practiced with his mates, who guaranteed to Man- ager MeGraw that the player would be on his good behavior for the rest of the season. George Pipgras, a rookie pitcher from the South Atlantic Association started his first game of the season for the New York American and al- lowed only six hits, three of which | Brookt: were made by Ehmke, his pitching opponent. Boston's only scoring off Pipgras resulted by bunching two singles with a home run by Picinich, which netted three runs. — Sport Calendar Racing.

TANNING GRIND (3 COMPLETED Dempsey Marking Time After Windup of ~ Hard Work. SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. Y., SEPT. 12.—(By the Associated Press) —-With just enough work to keep his muscles loosened, Jack Dempsey | today completed the five weeks of hard training for the defense of his title against Luis Ange! Firpo at the Polo Grounds, Friday night. ‘The world’s heavyweight cham- pion, trained to the fittest point of physical perfection, plans to take only light exercise today. He will take his regular morning hike through the pine-lined roads sur- rounding Saratoga Lake and later may do a little shadow boxing to loosen up, but for the most part he will rest, conserving his tigerish en- ergy for what he regards as the most {mportant battle of his championship career. Dempsey un'eashed the fury of his punches against his sparring part- ners yesterday for the last time. The boxing gloves were packed away the brulsed and battered sparring mates broke camp. ‘The title holder declared he was not the “‘east bit” superstitious about breaking camp on ‘the thirteenth of the month. “I don’t put any faith in that kind e* stuff,” he said. ‘In fact, I think the old ‘thirteenth’ is lucky for me. IT won the quickest fight in my life on the thirteenth, and Friday, at that, when I stopped Fred Fulton with a couple of punches.” The champion does not appear to have a worry on his mind. He seems as carefree as a school boy, with no theught of the possibility of losing his championship. Dempsey appeared to be confident that he will win by a knockout, but refuscs to make a prediction as to the probable length of the battle. He sald “I know I can knock out Firpo if I hit him right. I also know he can knock me out if he hits on the right spot. But I don't Intend to let him do that. T expect to take some tough pugehes because Firpo is dan- gerous—more dangerous than you fellows think. He wil continue to be dangerous until I have him on the floor. The champion boxed four furious rounds against three sparring part- ners. revealing that he is eager for Lattle, —_—— CONTRACTS LET FOR COLLEGE GYMNASIUM LARAMIE, Wyo., Sept. 12.—The trustees of the University of Wyo- ming, at thelr quarterly meeting here, awarded to the City Plumbing and Heating company of Boulder, Colo., three contracts at the univer- sity, where a new gymnasium and engineering building unit are in course of erection.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Sept. 12—(United Press)—In asking for an analysis of the form and general class of Jack Dempsey, {t is usual for those who have never seen the world's heavy- weight champion in action, to in- | quire: | “What ts his weakness?” Discussing Dempsey, experts in- | variably confine themselves tc his | Strong points, his ability to hit with | both hands, his skill as a boxer and his great fighting temperament. Tho work champion has few | faults that have been brought out | since he won the title and if he has any weaknesses it is that he can be hit. ‘That in iteelf is not a weakness, because Dempsey has been hit hard in every one of his big fights and he stood up under it. However, it is an opening and it will be his weak- ness if he 1s hit by an opponent with enough power in his punch to put him down, | The Dempsey who fought Willard was a perfect fighting machine. The Dempsey who knocked out Car- pentier was too good a machine for the task imposed upon it. Tho Dempsey who fought Tom Gibbons was only an ordinary fighter who won only because he was stronger. Singe he was unable to knock out Tom Gibbons in fifteen rounds at Shelby on the Fourth of July, it will be necessary to figure how good Dempsey is right now, rather than how good he was before. Dempsey made a very bad show: ing against Gibbons. The only thing he showed was that he had not slipped physically and that he| could go fifteen rounds at top speed. His hitting was bad. He missed time after time. He was short in his judgment of distance and his timing was very bad. He also seemed to lack steam in his punches. Most everyone who saw the fight believed that the long absence from the ring had caused the champion to grow rusty. It is a known fact among boxers that constant prac: tice is the only thing that will keep a fighter technically on edge, and Dempsey was not on edge that hot July afternoon. It must be figured also, when looking back at that fight, that Dempsey migsed a lot because he was boxing dgaffi@t @he fastest and most clever heavyweight in the ring. It was only natural that he should miss. -Firpo couldn't touch a glove on Gibbons in ten rounds and few other slow heavyweights could reach him. There was some reason for con- cern, however, when Dempsey failed to even put Gibbons on the floor. It is admitted that Gibbons was clever enough to present very few openings but Dempsey hit him sol- idly enough times to put him down if he had the punch he had against Willard, Brennan and Carpentier. The big question now is—has Dempsey lost his punch? In training for the Firpo fight, the champion was hitting | hard, boxing well and he seemed to be in much better spirits, There is no doubt that he was worrled at Great Falls with the question whether he had not gone way back, end from his actions at Saratoga he feels sat- isfied with himself now. Dempsey is the best hitting fight er in the world. Perhaps his punch may not have as much power behind it as Firpo's, but it has enough to accomplish the results. He hits with both hands, His left-hook to the jaw is as dangerous and as potent a blow as thero is in the ring. His right hand is just as powerful. He can box, his footwork is fine and his style is very hard to penetrate. He weaves around the ring, fights always on his toes and holds his arms so that he can shoot a left or a right from any position. He fights with great courage and daring. He will risk a punch to get an opening for a counter, and it is at this game that he is a most ———— Champ’s Last Battle Is Still Gossip Topic manager and trainer, as official ad- viser. When it comes to a nip-and-tuck contest for a baseball pennant no organizations have anything on the Hartford and New Haven teams and the battle they have been puting up for premier honors in the Eastern league. According to one fight expert the best boxers are those who start in the game young, and the younger the better. In proof of his assertion he cites the case of the clever Cary pentier, who started to fight when be was fourteen and a year later was a champion, Stories to the effect that ownership of the Oakland club of the Pacific Coast league was likely to change hands before the opening of another season are denied by persons close to Del Howard and Cal Ewing, who con- trol the club. One rumor had it that Jack Kearns, manager of Champion Jack Dempsey, was dickering to buy the Oaks. Cea “Meet me at the Smokhouse,” NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—(By The Associated Press).—No champion- ship fight tn Jack Dempsey's ca- reer was staged under conditions more extraordinary or more dra- matic than his 15-round battle with Tommy Gibbons, the St. Paul challenger at Shelby, Montana, last July 4. Owing to the demands of Jack Kearns, manager of the champion, for the complete fulfilment of Dempsey’s $300,000 contract, much ill feeling had been aroused against the title holder. When he entered the ring he was facing a strictly Gibbons crowd. As Dempsey walked toward the ring he was surrounded by five detectives from Chicago, picked men, with records as shooters. Kearns frankly admits that he had at least eight men armed for the purpose of guarding himself and Demprey from any violence which might be attempted. Gibbons proved to be the best de- fensive fighter that Dempsey had ever met, His cleverness. and clusiveness saved him from heing hammered to the canvas, in spite UNE’S PAGE OF SPORTING NEWS '|~ PAGE FIVE.

AT STAKE IN CASPER EVENTS /Rhiley, Bullock and Brinker Among Stars to Contest Honors in Speed Events to Be Staged Here Next Sunday There will be settled in the coming Rocky Mountain Dempsey, it must be remembered | Speedway races at the Rodeo Speedway, next Sunday, a question that has been moot for two or three years as to champion.

His | car {s one of the mechanical wonders of the western tracks and for these | and other reasons his claim to the title Is well-founded. Noel Bullock 1s one of the younger drivers who by winning the Pike's Peak race last year, established a strong basis for his claim. A con- sistent winner in all events {n which he entered has placed him in the top heap. Harold Brinker with his Wills-St. Claire made a great name for him; self, and with the special which he will enter in the Casper races has brightened the already luminous |name to an extent where he is a strong contender for any and all honors now running loose in the rac: ing game. yy Duelen has risen from the ranks of obscurity to a front rank place in the past year due to a con- sistent winning habit he has de- veloped. His mount will be a special from a famous eastern builder and with a motor which will turn up to a tune of 3700 R. P. M. he will of necessity be counted among those present. These and others who hanker for a silce of the very generous purses hung up for this speed event offer the fan a card which has never been approached in merit in this part off the country.
