For what was practically a scratch team to defeat one of the strongest doubles combinations in the game, which has played together these many seasons, was an achievement far be- yond the ordimdry, and it was mainly attributable to the visitor from France.

August 25.—Jack Dempsey. world heavyweight cham- plon, is willing to go to South Amer- lca either this fall or next spring to meet Luis Angel Firpo, holder of the South American crown, and Tex Rick- ard. noted promoter, is willing to stage the bout. After a conference with Jack Kearns, Dempsey’s manager, Rickard announced that the suggested maich depends on Firpo. Some time ago Rickard declared that he was too busy in the United States to take a flver below the equa- { tor, and earlier than that Kearns de- clared that Demp had a $500.000 offer to go to Argentina, but would not accept it.

The fight will be one of the most important heavyweight affairs held here for several years, and the winner is expected to obtain a bout with Jack Dempsey, world champlion. Fulton and Miske met here in Janu- ary, 1918, but Twin Cities &ports writers disagreed on the verdict. The lanky Minneapolis plasterer will have an advantage of twenty-four pounds in weight and fn height and in reach, but Miske Is the speedier. The fight, originally set for August 11, was postponed because of rain. and then Fulton developed a boil on the nose. Today he was pronounced in perfect physical condition. and on wain will prevent the program to- night. Lynch Scores K. 0.

Only a complete reversal of form or an unusual spurt by other low scorers, it was believed, could displace either of the leaders. Brady started today's play with a total of 141 for the thirty-six qualifying holes, and Jock was trailing with 145. Dave Robertson, Detroit, and John Farrell, Mamaroneck, came next with totals of 148. The latter two and Laurie Ayton of Chicago, who was nine strokes behind Brady, were the only contenders conceded any chance at the title. Brady, according to Hutchison, had | the tournament.

But— that match resulted in something else; it proved to me, or, rather, gave me the inspiration that Dempsey is not the best heavyweight in the world. I am-—TI think. No doubt that Garden battle will go down in boxing history as the most grueling of gruel- ing ring quarrels. Imagine Champion Dempsey in dis- tress! He was, and there's no kidding apout it. *I had Jack floundering around, punch drunk from a vol- ley of rights and lefts in the secomd round, and any human being would have been knocked out—but That body Jack Dempsey. up and keep on going, but I was un- able to rid myself of the effects of that body blow. It was the hardest punch I have ever received. A lot of alibls were handed down by the so-called experts for my stick- ing around in the same ring with the terrific-punching . Dempsey—a man who has put away most of his op- ponents within one, two or three rounds. 1 dont think the critics treated me fairly, especially when they should have taken into consid- eration that I had stayed six rounds with Jack before, and then had to give up because of a broken ankle. The round previous to this accident I had Dempsey on the floor. Referring again to our Garden bout, let it be known that I lost the chance to win the heavyweight title by a serfous mistake. “That mistake was made in my training. I did not ex- pect the bout to go more than six rounds, and prepared for the battle accordingly. I figured that Dempsey could not “take {t” well the public thought. Trained for Short Bout.

ENE SARAZEN, the national open champion, who has been cutting a wide swath this year, says that if he receives many more presents from clubmakers, ball manufacturers and other golf- ing interests he will have to engage a special storeroom in Pittsburgh to hold all the stuff. This is all right, of course. Sarazen is pro- fessional and entitled to all that he receives. When it comes down to presents, however, one may wonder whether our lawn tennis stars ever spend a cent for racquets, balls and other paraphernalia of the game. Possibly they outfit themselves completely season after Geason. Then, again, perhaps they don't. Those who play winter and sum- mer, with expenses paid Wherever they go may be said to be doing pretty well by the game: They re- ceive nelther salary nor fees for play- ing, and in that sense are amateurs. Yet in the true sense are they ama- teurs, these men who are constantly at tennis throughout the greater part of a year? That s to ask, can they be classed with men who indulge in a game for the sheer -love of the sport without personal gain other than arising from the exhilaration of competition, satisfaction over victory and physical well being due to exer- cise? ‘Watching the woman's national singles championship a point came up that was threshed further at an uptown club. The point was how close do the leading woman tennis players come to the men?

I clubs. _a‘l_ion a-plenty is in Cobb has his athletes traveling at a dizzy gait now. By consistent work on their present tour they have clung to the heels of the leaders ready to ad- vance should either Browns or Yanks stumble, but the Griffs, by taking three out of four from Chicago, have had their confidence restored and they are thirsting for revenge. Barmey Blanks Sox. The final game with the White Sox was won by Walter Johnson, 1—0, al- though the youthful Ted Blankenship gave him sturdy opposition. The after- noon was made to order for Walter. as the lowering clouds and mist made it almost impoesible for the visitors to gauge his speed. Johnson's support was ragged, to say the least, three errors cropping out. The solitary run credited to the Griffs materlalized in the second round, with Bob La Motte on the pro- ducing end. Shanks, who was subbing for Brower in right field, tore off a sin- gle over Eddie Collins' head, went to second via the delayed steal route, with Blankenship holding the ball, reached third on a wild pitch and scored on La Motte's timely swat into left. One voice might have roused Blankenship to the fact that Shanks was going down. but the entire White Sox shouted in unison and the twirler did not realize what it was all about until too late. Thereafter until tha seventh round the Griffs did not threaten, but in that Inning. with one down, Howard Shanks got his second hit, a triple to the score- board. Peck followed with a short fiy to left, on which Falk made a star catch, and Shanks was doubled up on & quick throw to McClellan. Sox Make Late Threats. The Sox made two late threats to tie it up, but then Johnson proved invinci- ble. In the eighth McClellan and Schalk singled to center in succession, but Blankenship fouled to Picinich and Hooper hit into a sensational double play, “Bucky” Harris getting Harry's line fly at his shoetops while rushing forward and, of course. McClellan was an easy out, as the ball was tossed to Peck. In the last round, with one down. Peck messed up Collins’ grounder. but Walter fanned the hard-hitaing Shee- 1y. Mostil got a scratch double into left, Collins pulling up at third. John- son then made Falk fly to Rice for the final out A jourmey to the hospital came with- in a hair of materializing for Mostil and Sheely. when Johnson lost con- trol on two pitches in the eighth and ninth, respectively, the ball shooting by their heads with the speed of a rifle shot. Sheely’'s escape was the narrowest. as the ball went right un- der his chin. Goslin agaim failed to get a hit and made a throw toward first that a most went Into the grandstand, bu he made several catches of short fifes that ranked in the sensational class. One of the greatest catches of the season by Falk robbed “Goose” of a home run in the fourth, the left flelder getting the ball over his shoulder on the dead run. Just how far out the ball was hit can be gleaned from the fact that Goslin was turning second when the catch was made. Joe Judge was omt of yesterday's game with an attack of chills.
