Heeney has better than an even chanch at defeat- ipg the champion, according to Dempsey. Heeney worked out before | Dempsey and about 2,000 per-| sons. The challenger floundered | through four rounds, lefts and rights beuncing off his chin. He looked off color in the first two rounds but seemed to find his range in the last two rounds. REVEALS PUNCH | SPECULATOR, N. Y., July 23.| —Gene Tunney revealed a punch | for a few seconds in the second round of his bout with ‘his part- ner Harold Mays yesterday after- noon. Masking his face with a| snarl, he shot three swift right hooks to the jaw of Mays which stagged the latter but heavy box- ing gloves absorbed most of their force. The other six rounds were rather indifferent although the champion was impressive. e GAMES SATURDAY Pacific Coast League San Francisco 3; Hollywood 2. Los Angeles 3; Mission 2.

Of these U. S. rivals, Great Britain and Sweden have made the best showing over this period, while Finland has come up from eighth place in 1906 and tenth in 1908 to finish third in 1912 and supremacy in 1920 and 1924. The other two nations which have always managed fo score some points are France and Italy.

And now he has been sent to Cleveland with all National league clubs waiving claim to his service. Just before Miljus was cut loose, Earl Smith, veteran catcher, was released un- conditionally, and before that Johnny Gooch, who was catching Miljus that dark October day, had been traded with Joe Harris, the punisher of curve ball pitching, to Brooklyn. Yde, who was in the final game as a pinch runner, is pitching for Indianapolis and doing a good job of it All the were in the game are still in New York livery but Wilcy Moore, whose sinker brought the Yankees through to victory, is not the Moore foday he was then. The big Oklahoma farmer has been troubled all year with a sore arm and instead of being graduated from a relief to a start- ing role, he is no longer in com- mand of the first aid corps. PERRITT UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS Olin Perritt, veteran minor leaguer, jack of all trades, now with Raleigh in the Piedmont league, recently pitched the first game of a doubleheader and caught the second game Another time he pitched a morring game and after a light luncheon pitched the afternoon contest as well., Al though he never made the major league grade, Perritt has long been a capable performer in the Southern sociation, South At. lantic, Virginia and Piedmont leagues. He was graduated into professional baseball from the University of South Carolina, where he pitched, but on occa- sion caught or played the infield and outfield. Wit Columbia in the Sally League he once played an inning in every position, do- well at all.

DAVE ROBERTSON CAN STILL HIT THE BALL Davis A. Robertson, his major league debut New York Giants 16 years ago, and closed it with Pittsburgh in 1921, after playing with the Chi- cago Cubs in between, is hitting the ball as hard as any player in baseball. His batting average, in the neighborhood of .500, is be- ing compiled for the benefit of York in the New York-Pennsylvan- ia league. The hard hitting Dave of late years has also served as a manager in the Virginia league He continues to play the outfield. When a college player Robertson was a great southpaw pitcher. He played first base when he was not pitching and then, as now, hit the bail at all times. TWO RUNS SCORE ON ONE PUTOUT Ray Grimes, former major San Antonio Bears, of the Texas leaguer now first basing for the league, sent two runs home with one sacrifice fly in a July game Najo reached first on an error and Mulvey doubled in a game at Beaumont. Grimes sent a long fly to center field and when the ball was finally relayed to the plate both runners had scored. The two runs for :he price of one sent Grimes’ record of runs batted in to 63. ———-ea—— GOLF 1S RECOGNIZED AS “ATHLETIC SPORT” who made with the PARIS, July 23.—Golf, at lunl.‘ has been officially recognized as an “athletic sport” in France.

Gold then ruled and Jay Gould ruled gold. He guessed that the United States Treasury .night during 1869 sus. pend gold sales, and convinced his conferres that under such cir- cumstances an advance in the premium on gold would stimulate exports of wheat and benefit the farmer—also Gould and his asso- clates. Gould, James Fisk and organized a “gold pool.” Treasury suspended its sales. The pool advanced the gold premium from 132 to 144. Operators in the “Gold Room,” center of trading in those days, plunged and pyramid- ed. The corner in gold became the “ markets 's6 "effective and the situation so acute that the Grant administra- tion became interested. The Treasury decided that it must provide some relief for those whose losses were enriching the pool operators. It ordered its agents to sell $400,000,000 gold and buy $400,000,000 bonds. Gould’s partners, with the exception of Fisk, scented trouble and liqui- dated their holdings.
