Meanwhile Demp. sey is keeping close to nature at Sara- toga. Wilson and Greb got down to real hard work today in preparation for the August 31 bout. If Eva Tanguay could just be at the ringside and cal- liope her old-time favorite, “I don't care,” the party would be complete, so far as the majority of the fans| are concerned. For the majority of the latter will attend, not to see somebody win, but somebody licked, and a good many don't care whlrhl “price” fighter it is, Neither of the hoxers movie heroes in popularity. The fans have not forgotten the unsatisfa tory battle Wilson put up against Bryan Downey at Boyles' Thirty Acres on Labor day, in 1921. That was the present champion’s last ap- pearance in the ring in this neck of the woods, and while there was no question that he had the better of the argumeny in' the Jersey City arena, the disgusted spectators main- tained that he showed little evidence of championship quality. Wilson is a southpaw and was supposed to have a dangerous punch in his left wing, but he did not know it. eb’s peculiar bounding style f attack has mitigated against his populari here. ome of his opp nents have claimed that he has hitj them everywhere from the knees up to the narrow open space which keeps their hair out of their eves. The Pittsburgher's system is to turn loose a machine-gun burst of punches on the theory that if he fires enough ammunition, some are bound to hit the mark. Foul fighting undoubtedly is far from his thoughts, but his rough tactics have failed to endear him to the Gotham public. A good time, therefore, should be had by all. The audience won't take it much to heart so long as somebody is licked, and as that is what they o for they ought to be well satisfled. rival the Reeently, Enrique Tiraboechl, an Argentinian, swam the English chan- nel from France to England—alwa: reckoned the dangerous way—in sixteen hours and thirty minutes, a | new world record. His feat was one letics. Only a few days before, how- ever, an American, Henry Sullivan of Lowell, Mass., succeeded in swim- ming the channel, but his time was nowhere near as good as that made by the South American. It's all right to make a man a hero in his own home town, but cup an ear to the following by a Lowell sports writer. “Enrique Tirabocchi has made rec- ord time from France to England. He is the only man ever to have reversed the channel journey. He studied conditions and he_got them exactly to desire. Now let Henry Sullivan swim from France to Eng- land and let Enrique try the journey from Dover to Calals. Or, better still, let thestwo engage in competi- tion under identical conditions and Henry will beat Enrique just as he Deat Toth, Richards and all the other | noted swimmers years ago. We ven- ture to say that the Argentinian | would never have crossed the channel | had he faced the conditions that Sul- livan faced.” Is that good sportsmanship? Hard- Iy, and the writer's guess is that that fine sportsman, Henry Sullivan, would be the last to subscribe to the above maudlin sentiments of his admirer.

In only one league—the Y. game figure in a championship. The Kanawhas now are champions of this circult by virtue of their victory over the Northwest Athletic Club, 6 to 5. It was Ellis Goodman, on the mound for the Kanawhas, who turned the trick. He held the Northwesterners to six wallops. Levy of the losers crashed a homer. Kanawhas connect- ed for ten safe clouts off Gttenberg. Play waxed hot in the Suburban League. Handley Athletic Club for- feited to the W. F. Roberts nine when Umpire Watt gave the game to the latter team in the tenth inning after Catcher Moeller interfered with Bat- ter Thompson. After the decision Handley withdrew from the field. In the other game, Park View swamped the Brightwood' Athletic Club, 14 to 5. An eight-run lead in the third frame put the game on ice for Park View. Jermaine hurled mastertully for Park View. In the Prince Georges county series Maryland _Athletic Club took th measure of the Mount Rainier team. 8 to 6. Jack Nye's triple with the bases loaded aided the winners, Lem Baldwin was in good form for Mount Rainier until the fatal eighth. He allowed twelve bingles, while his team could gather only eight off Taylor. Indications now point to the Ross- Iyn Athletic Club as the champion of the ‘Arlington County league.

THREE SERIES FRAYS ARE ON CARD TODAY Only three games will be played in the city sandlot series today, but the results of two of them will have a direct bearing in the sectional titles. If the Shamrocks trounce the Mo- hawks. then the latter team will drop from first place, where it i deadlocked with the Dominican Ly- ceum outfit in seqtion of the un- limited division. Play will start at 5:15 o'clock, at the new Union League Par! According to the dope, however, the Indians will bring home the bacon. In their last two engagements with the Shamrocks, they have turned in wins. A mishap for the Mohawks and a victory for Dominican Lyceum tomorrow over Brookland would put Lyceum well on the way to the title, In section B of the junior division Waverly iv leading, but in_today's h with the Park View nine, run ner-up, will meet a worthy foe. Victory for the leaders will practical- 1y give them the section honors. This | contest will be played h and C streets northeast, at o‘clock. BIKE TITLE IS WON BY WILLIE SPENCER NEWARK. N.
