SP THREE RIVALS IN MARKET FOR THE STRIKEOUT KING . Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Giants and Chicago Cubs All Covet Right-Hander, But Will Have to “Go High” in Players to Land Him. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, October 28—Three National League clubs—Pittsburgh, New York and Chicago—wou'd like to take Davzy Vance away from the Brooklyn club. So Not one of the three can get Brooklyn's Any one of these c'ubs might become the most important “going high.” factor against the St. Louis Cardinals Vance. As Dazzy performed in 1926. he ball do" almost-hreak-even men. his victories were over the Pirates. Vance the Brook! ub had deegenerated u bition and uwd l»uv was hz\mpv-rer] by too many ki ts and too much age. Dazr *he trikeout record for 1926, but he also will have a record o heorhing about 15 much &3 b~ Adid as any plaver in He didn't start the season as the Vance of 1925, and much of his trouble wes due to leing involved with the future of Florida to such an extent that he constantly visioned orange groves mingling with the golden twilight. Players Wanted in Trade. With a pitcher like Vance, the | Pirates figure they would take their old place ii the n. But to get| Vance something would have to be separated from Pittsburgh in the | nature of fielders, and whether the | Pirates would relinquish any one | worth while a question. They wouldn't' very likely cut into the Cuyler-Waner-Brinkeil _trio, and would be feolish if they did. Barnhart might be let go, but Barnhart can't help the | Brooklyn club. It needs :omplhlnz‘ more stimulating.

As stated before, it might be for tne Washington Ladies' D Association to give some consid 1o the project. It cannot hurt the lengue already in existence. Any | move toward healthy expansion in sport always is worthy of Indorse- ment. The support of the ladies’ as- | sociation would be welcomed by the alley owners, who are backing the plan for the city-wide league. And that's something to think about. With Watson socking the maples for a set of 381, La te swung into old-time form in the Masonic Associa- tion and grabbed three games from Dawson. It was the first time this season that the Champs looked good all the way. ex. well | Here's consistent bowling. In an Blectrical League match, N. Brewer had games of 104, 104 and 104. But the H. P. Foley team. with which he was bowling, took only one game of three from the E. R. Warren quint.

Cubs Are Pennant Hungry. The Chicago Cubs are hungrier to win a pennant than they ever have been, and they are doing everything 11927 that will put them in the thick | of the fight. They know they have the nucleus of a pitching staff which is not surpassed in the league. If the | Cubs took on Vance, and h2 pitched as he did when at his best, they would have a winning factor for 20 games. A man connected with the Brook- 1vn club is authority for the state. ment that other clubs have been press- ing Brooklyn to get Vance. These clubs figure a deal can be made be- | cause Vance is high-priced and Brook- lvn needs much help outside the box. It isn’'t likely that any club can get Vance unless it is willing to be sep- arated from more than players who need to be developed. Brooklyn wvants something that has matured. (Convright. 1926.)

NEW YORK, October 28.—Jack Dempsey h: told Tex Rickard he would make no immediate comeback in the ring. The dethroned champlon said that next week he would return to his home in California, where he will go into training for two months. “If 1 find I haven't gone back too far to give a suitable account of myself, I will attempt to regain the title,” Rickard quoted Dempsey as i “Nothing _definite was _decided upon,” said Rickard. “Dempsey wants to be ‘sure he is right’ before we go ahead with a match, and if he does fight again he probably will not be seen in the ring before February, at the earliest.” Rickard said that he expected to confer with Dempsey again. “Dempsey is still a young man,” he said, “but he may decide that he has made enough out of the game to_quit.” Rickard said that Jack Sharkey and Jim Maloney of Boston and Harry Perrson, the Swedish heavy- weight, were among prospective opponents he discussed with Dempsey. The name of Paul Berlenbach, for- mer light heavyweight title holder, who has been eager to fight Dempsey, was not brought up. Rickard indicated that he considered Berlenbach was not big enough to make a good match against the for- mer champlon. “I probably will not Dempsey until December,” sald “He is going to givd him- self a thorough test, when he says the word I will sign a suitable opponent.” hear from © a— FIGHTS LAST NIGHT.

NEW YORK, October 28.—Jack Kearns still is looking for a title holder. Managing a champion is like a disease. Every one, of course, is looking for a champion, but the one who has had one and lost him goes about in his search with the hungry look of a, dog in search of a bone. Now Kearns has Napoleon Dorval. | The trouble is that Nap resembles a|J piece of cheese compared to some of the youngsters who are battling their way to the top. Kearns knows enough about fighters not to bank too much on_him. But he does think he has a real asset in Mickey Walker, and he is try- ing to make him over. In Mickey fight with Shuffle Callahan the forme welter king tipped the beam at 154 pounds. This lent color to the belief that MKhael vas not strong at the welter limit. Mickey s not discouraged by his defeat by Pete Latzo or by being stopped by Joe Dundee, and he is in| accord with Kearns' plan to send him s, then Joe Simonich, finally winding up with Tiger Flowers for the title. It is a tough assignment, that last one. Sid Terris wants to break away from his manager. This Is the reason he has been idle these months. He is willing to sacrifice thousands just for the real or imaginary grudge he holds against the man who made him a popular drawing card In the greater city. On top of this Sid may have to ap-| pear in court to tell why he ran out on a charity affair. Sid was booked by his manager to appear, and when he did not the show was a frost. His contract has a long time to run yet, and so it will be well if he patches up his difficulties. (Copyright. 1926.) Ji 00;EYS REINSTATED. NEW YORK, October 28 (#).—Clar- ence Kummer and L. M.
