FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1925 ey World Results PIRATES AN By Leased Wire H DING MAJOR LEAGUE RAGES Victory for Pittsburgh While Giants Split Doubleheader, and Switch in American Keeps See-Saw Working Yesterday. NEW YORK, July 24,—(By The Associated Press.) — The shifting scenes of major league baseball today again starred Pittsburgh and Philadelphia at the top of the pic- ture. W aiting until the ninth to loose a crushing batting attack, the Pirates once more displaced the Giants at the DEMPSEY PLAN ARE INDEFINITE Ring Fans Get Little Satisfaction Out of Statements. By FAIR PLAY (Copyright, 1 Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, July 24.—Aside from Gene Tunney, the fans do not Bave any definite idea as t> who Jack Dempsey wil meet for his warming up bout with Harry Wills. The name of Bartley Madden has been suggested and while Floyd Fitzsimmons has not said so, he has intimated that Bartley might be the guy. Vitzsimmosn evidently thinks Uttle of the boxing game to suggest such a match. Madden must be given credit for his willingness to meet anyone in the world. But one wonders who would go to see Demp- Sey massacre him in a workout, As for Re » Whose name has giso been mentioned, it is enough to remember that he made such a poor showing against George God- “rey that Humbert Fugazzi, the {tallan hospital fund promoter, was forced to ask the New York athletic commission to release him from his eentract for Renault to appear on the same card with Greb, Walker, and tho rest of the top-liners. George Godfrey, too, has figured ana candidate. Godfrey is managed by Jack's good friend Jimmy Dough erty, The fight might well be a money-makes, since Gawsge {s no slouch of a boxer and can hit. But there are angles to this bout which would make it well boxing if it were not held, Since he became champion Demp- sey has met Billy Miske, Bill Bren- man, Georges Carpentier, Tommy Gibbons and Luls Firpo. Not such @ fearful record for a man who fs mentioned in the same breath with the great fighters of all time, Just now it is a fact that Dempsey is out of fighting trim, not only ‘physically but mentally. It is two years since he fought. It ts to be hoped that Jeffries’ comback at- tempt and failure at the hands of Jack Johnson will not be repeated. asntidllioe Caee eS Akron Entry In Balloon Race Is Given Trophy AKRON, Ohlo, July 24.—(By The Associated Press)—The Arkon Cham: ber of Commerce entry in the Junior National Balloon race of last Satur day was declared winner today by Referee Ralph Upson.

O ATHLETICS AGAIN | (By Central Press) MACON, Ga., July 24.— It was pride and a desire to help out is old home town baseball club durfhg injuries to its regular play- ers that brought Charley Morgan out of four years’ retirement from base- ball. Then all he did in his first two weeks back in uniform was to es- tablish a new world’s batting record by setting 12 straight hits in as many times at bat, breaking the rec- ord of 11 straight, held by Tris Speaker, manager of ‘the Cleveland Indians in 1920, Morgan, who formerly caught for Toledo in the American association, quit baseball in 1921. He returned to his home at Macon, Ga,, and en- ‘ered the insurance and real estate u . His business grew and he prospered. In between, on dull days, he would catch a sem{-pro game. In the winter he played guard on Young Stribling’s famous basketball team at Macon, Strib’s home. Then came 1925. Three members gf the Macon Sally league club re- cetved broken ankles. Finally Char- ley Moore, regular catcher, went out for eight weeks with the same in- jury. Charley felt the call of the dia- mond. He offered his serices to Man- ager Ernie Burke. That afternoon he caught his first professional game {n four years. He started his streak ely’ of hitting that carried him into a! world's swat title. At Columbia on May 31, on his last two times at bat he obtained singles, Sore and stiff from his first full game of the season. Morgan rested until June 2, Four hits out of four times at bat did he obtain tn that game. June 8 found him in a double-header, In the first game he obtained four hits of four times at bat again. In the second game he went in as a pinch hitter and de- lvered a double, his eleventh straight hit to tle Tris Spehker’s memorable mark. The day following found Morgan singling cleanly through third in his first time up for his twelfth straight hit and a new batting record. On his thirteenth time up he was rob- bed of a possible hit when the op- posing second baseman made a sen- Are we at Inst getting the real ine on the situation existing be- tween Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world—including New York State-— and Jack Kearns, the man who led him to the title? Dempse: reeent statement that he wil manage his own fights {n the future and simply give Kearns the share his contract calls for un- til that contract runs out, indicates as much, This statement at least verifies the feeling that all is not congenial between the champ and Kearns, This friction has been denied re- peatedly, espect by Kearns, Dempsey'’s move in signing with Tex Richard for two fighte-—dates and opponents yet to be named— would indicate that {t wasn't Kearns belief the champion would never re-enter the ring that caused Kearns to Beek a new meal ticket In Mickey ‘ Walker. The rumor that Dempsey’s Euro- Tpean trip was a flop financially does not furnish an explanation for his alleged change of heart, I don't believe that Dempsey ever intended to re the ring game flat. Both he and nKearns were alive to the fact that the raising of such a rumor would draw consider- able publicity. And both are awake to the value of keeping a champion before the public eye.

The ungaliant gentlemei aver that the presence of the wives com- Plicates matters both in the work of ths athletes and the retention of harmony in the ranks. This is in line with the attitude of baseball club owners who hay always tried to discourage the pres ence of wives of players on road trips taken by the clubs. Justly or unjustly, friction among the players of the olub has been laid from time to time to the presence of the better halves and innocent criticisms they have made. Much of this is unfair to the ladies, but I do recall one case where offic! of a major league team wished that the feminine contingent had been left behind.
