‘Spearkink of Sports Even though Firpo cannot lick Dempsey—angd it has not been proven - that he cannot-—he doubtiéss can out- ‘eat him.

Mrs. Mallory yesterday won her way to the final round in the Cedar- hurst tourney. Johnny Shugrue, stepping through some light training with Willie, his *kid"” brother the other day, was sur- priséd to be told by a visitor that he was to retire from the ring. “It's news to. me,” quoth Johnnie, as he played with a pair - of echest weights. “Brother Joe has . received geveral offers for bouts gince my go with Travers in New Haven but I haven'$¥décided on what card I'll ap- pear yet.” [ Commenting upon the grgnd old pastime today, Billy Evans, famous umpire and sports authority says: “What is the greatest asset for a young pitcheér just breaking into the major leagues?” 1 put that question to Jack Ryan, veteran backstop, now doing duty as a coach to the Boston American league pitching staff. ‘‘That's an easy one,” replied Ryan. “Control, ;of course. Control is not only the greatest asset that a recruit could possibly possess, but it is equal- 1y valuable to a veteran star. No matter how much stuff a pitcher has, it isn’t worth a penny to him if he can't get the ball over the plate. Any pitcher who can get the ball over the plate, thereby forcing the opposition to hit their way on, always has a change to win."” That afternoon the Chicago club gent a recruit pitcher by the name of Gillenwater against the Boston Red Sox. I wondered how he would make out. Remembering what Ryan had Shid about control, I decided to put his theory to the acid test. Gillénwater is a right handed pitch- er. He is a side-arm twirler and erarts his ball rather low. It was evidént that his peculiar delivery weuld be to his advantage, as his style differs from thc majority ' of pitchers. _Gillenwater delivers the ball much after the manner of How- ard Ehmke, who it so happened was the Boston Red Sox pitcher that day. Gillenwatér showed a fairly good fast ball. However, it was nothing like the “swift’ 'that Walter Johnson used when he broke in. He also haa on tap a fairly good =urve. However, I have seen scores of pitchers hreak into the majors with far more stuff than did Gillenwater and fail. After the first few innings it was apparent to me that Gillenwater had control. Any time he was in the hole he seemed able to get the ball over’ the plate. All the young man did was shut out Boston 3 to 0, allowing only four hits. Rather a rémarkable feat for a ‘“rookie” pitcher in his first start, even though it was recorded against a tailender. 3 The néxt day I bumped into Ryan before the start of the game. I re- called what he had sald about con- trol being a young pitcher's best as- set and told him that no better proof could have béen offered than the ex- oo P GUILTY! There's no need to be guilty of dirty, smeary fingers, grimy hands—hands and fingers that leave smeary, smudgy marks and prints. MIONE gets every par- ticle of dirt off the hands, from under the nails, out of the pores with the smoothest, creamiest, softest lather of its kind you ever felt. It makes hands clean and leaves them fresh and soft. Your druggist, dealer or grocer '\ DIOGENES IS WINNER OF %|1n a thrilling battle among the'giants hibition put on by the White Sox rookie, “The trouble with most young pitchers breaking into the majors to- day is that they .overlook the funda- mentals of pitching, of which control is the very first lesson,”” continued Ryan. “Instead of trying to acquire control, many of them seek to invent some néw freak delivery or spend time trying to learn how to throw-the knuckle ball or the fadeway, After all, there is nothing like speed, curves and a change of pace for a pitcher, plus control. Few of the really great pitchers go in for the freak stuff. If the young pitchers in the minors who seek to make the big show would lay aside all their freak deliveries and get control, thelr curve and fast one would get them by and we would have much better pitching in the ma- Jors.” HOPEFUL AT SARATOGA Gets Up to Beat Bracadale and Win $46,800 for Mrs, Jeffords— Sunspero is Third Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Aug. 31.— of the two-year-old division, fifteen of which went to-the post,.Mrs. W. M, Jéfford’s Diogenes, a.chestnut two- year-old by Ballot out of Bmoky Lamp yesterday afterngon emerged to win the Hopeful Stakes, one of the richest rewards in the fuvenile division. Di- ogenes, at 10 to:1, beat the Rancocas Stable’'s Bracadale by a short head and earned $46,800 for his owner. Jockey Clyde Ponce had the mount and brought the colt home in the good time of 1:12 3-5 for tHe six furlongs, the track hoin; only good and far from fast. Gifford: A, Cochran's Sun- spero was two lengths back, to take the short end of the stake by another | head from St. Jamecs. The thregq start- ters in the Cochran, colors were made the favorites, coupléd at 6 to 5. Bra- cadale was at .6 to 1. The last day of the annual meeting of the Saratoga Ass6ciation also had the historic Saratoga Cup as a second feature, but the cup race had none of the thrills of the two-year-old contest, | as only three went to the post and moet of the distance the horses were far apart. The race was won by the three-year-old, My Own, by King James-Bettie Landon, carrying the colors of the Salubria Stable of Ad- miral Cary T Grayson. The winner at 2 to 1, was six lengths in front of H. P. Whitney's Bunting, which beat C. H. Thieriot's Prince James by ten lengths. My Own ran the mile and six furlongs in 2:57 1-5 and won $6,850 for his owner. The winner carried 116 pounds and the others 128 pounds. Bunting was an added starter. STAMFORD ANXIOUS 10 STAGE CONTEST (Continued From , Preceding Page) and was in no position to speak-as to “the attitude of the executive, or oth- er state officials, but that he under- stood there was favorable sentiment throughout the state. He said that he had been stopped on the streets of Stamford and advised to go after the bout and that this had led him to make inquiries about the status of the contest. Has Only Sporting Interest. Apparently, however, the mayor had no knowledge of or interest in the manner in which the bout was to be financed. He said that he as- sumed the funds would come from various individuals about the state, but that Stamford's only interest in the affair was a sporting one and that all the city would expect to get from the bout would be what ever could be derived from a collection in the crowd for the purpose mentioned above. O’Rourke pointed out that a match between Dempsey and Wills could be held on short notice of this kind, where it would be impossible to hold another contest of major importance. “There will be no need to adver- tise the bout,” he said. "If Dempsey defeats Firpo decisively and quickly as most of us expect him to, then there will be one else beside Wills who | the public would conslder a logical opponent. The great difficulty with| a Dempsey-Wills match would net be | in getting a crowd, but in not gettin@®| too large a one. The interest being| shown in the Dempsey-Firpo contest | is proof of the drawing power of a | heavyweight champienship bout and with Wills as Dempsey's opponent there would be no question of the fi- nancial success of the undertaking."” | It is important to note that Kearns' declaration that he would not enter- tain a proposition until after the Fir- po contest would not necessarily mean Sept.16—22. 1923 and Acres of Livestock " Agricultural, State and other Exhibits,Features and Attractions Acres has it in convenient 10 cent tins. Plan Your Vacation for ExpositionWeek Rediced Rates on All Railroads NEW that the boul It would be possible to hold the bout outdoors even as late as mid-Novem- ber and the promoters still . might wait until after the Sept. 14 bout and e i e carry through their plans providing | that there yas no delay in negotiating the contract with the champion. It was not proposed to start work on the arena until after the Demp- sey-Firpo hout any way, but if Kearns had come to terms at this time it would have been possible to draw up plans and get everything in readiness for actual work with some degree of safety, whereas if the same thing is done now it will be purely a gamble, Whatever the final result may be it looks just now as if Stamford is fully aroused over the proposal and that the chances for a Dempsey-Wills bout there this fall are reasonably bright. NATIONAL LEA- GUE Giants Win Brooklyn, N, Y., Aug. 31.—New York defeated Brooklvn in the first ‘of the three-game series yesterday, 5 to 4, despite the fact that the Dodgers knocked Scott out of the box in the second-inning. Young, who was the batting demon of the day, scored the winning run in the seventh when he singled, stole second, went to third on Taylor's wild throw and kept on to the plate on Nels' fumble.
