STUMPF IS HITTING ‘What faults Bil Stumpf may have| as a fielder don’t seem to dim his batting eye any, as the big boy is certainly clicking the onion at a ter- rific pace. He had a fat week at Salt Lake. When Bill Kenworthy got ready to jump into.the game again he kept all the big hitters in the lineup. Seattle now has a .300 hitting infield, with Bates, Ken- worthy, Murphy and Stumpf ali within the charmed ¢ircle. CRANE WOULD i “MAKE” LOCALS There is one ball player on the Cincinnati club that would just about “make” the Indians in the Coast league race. He's yong Crane, the Red infielder. Crane doesn't hit quite hard enough for big league standards, but he is such a nifty fielder that the Reds can't waive him out. Coast league ball players who have seen him say that he would hit | around .275 in this league, and that |he would cover that shortstop like a \tent. Seattle may get him yet, if | the Cincy club owners can waive bim out, as the Reds have Larry Kopf to take care of the shortstop position. FORMER BEE JOINS CINCY Clift Markle, a right-handed pitch. er who worked for the Sah Lake Bees in 1919, has joined the Cincin nat! Reds.

He started his base ball career in the Texas league and then went up to the New York Yanks, whence he joined Salt Lake NEW WORD | COINED BY “CARL MAYS Pitcher Carl Mays of the Yankees bas coined a new word to burl at umpires. It's “Blah.” ‘When his umps ruffles the sub- marine pitcher, he gets the “Blab” stuff submarined at him. Umpire Chill contends that this newly coined word for baseball play- ers is okay with him, as it doesn't mean anything. That's a good tip to other quick. spoken ball players. Just say “Blah.” It gives you the satisfaction of showing just how you feel about a thing without having to take a vacation and a pay fine, NEW YORK, July 12.—Georges Carpentier, world’s light heavy weight champion, yesterday signed | contract to defend his laurels dur- jing the second week of October.

W man and Riley accompanied Demp- sey from Seattle to New York when Dempsey left here to begin training | for his world’s championship bout | with Georges Carpentier at Jersey City. Dempsey is due to arrive here Friday, coming here almost directly from Jersey City by way of Balt| Lake and San Francisco. “It's the ‘old ging,’ as Jack eats them, that’s why he likes Seattle,” said Waterman yerterday when he} learned that the champion was on hin way to the Queen City. “Demp- ney has many friends here, By ‘friends,’ I mean ‘friends,’ not these loll cans that don’t know a@ fellow j when he i# down and out and then sponge around him when he's champion.” j _ Demprey's etay at his home town, | Salt Lake City, was short. He just | dropped off there long enough to \ see his mother, then headed for the Coast, but JACK GETS THEIR COIN Dempsey’s lack ef populartty tn the Enagt is not entirely due to his failure to serve his country in the war, according to Waterman. The aya ; big thing that the Easterners hold against the champion ts that he has no use for the East because of its unpleasant climatic conditions. The Hasterners don’t approve of a man coming out of the West, taking $300,000 of their hard earned coin, and then beating it back to the/ West again, all in a couple of months’ time, s V_—_ ‘RICKARD IS BRAINY ‘Tex Rickard ts a master mind, tn Waterman's opinion. Rickard ts not exactly popular in the East. The reason for this is his wonderful success In the promoting game. Rickard hes succeeded time and time again where others have failed. It seems that the Easterners don't exactly Uke to see & man make good. CHANEY BEST FEATHER Andy Chaney ts the logteal candi. date for the world’s featherweight championship honors, according to Waterman. Chaney is a clever boy | 4nd considered by many the best feather in the gama, Eastern fight fans expect to see Chaney and Kil bane meet in the championship bat tle nome time in the future, There is no truth to the rumor that Kil- bane will retire from the ring, giv- ing up his title, No, not when there's $50,000 for him in a cham- pionship fight. DO THEY LIKE THE EAST? Bud Ridley, Joe Waterman, Mrs. Ridley and Ridley's three-month-old daughter, will leave Seattle for New York about the middle of Septem: ber, where Ridley has some big bouts slated. — BAIRD RIDLEY GQ WANTED An Earl Baird-Bud Ridley fight is the most demanded fight in New| York city, according to Waterman. Both boys are of the aggressive type, which is quite a novelty for New York fight fans.

Letters must be signed with writer's address, What do you think? ‘ In raising the question of whether Jack Johnson, colored fighter and former world’s heavyweight champion, recently released from prison after serving time for violation of the Mann white slave act, should be allowed to challenge Jack Dempsey for the heavyweight title in an American ring, The Star will not print letters that are not signed with the writer’s full name and address, Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen, French tennis comet, has two main objects in life ahead of her. One ts to “settle up” and the other is to nettle down. To realize the first he ts coming to America to “settle up” for all time—the question as to who is the world’s greatest and most spectacu- lar woman tennis player. After her attempt to prove that she is entitled to this title she wants to settle down in a home of her own, For tennis to this 22-year-old girl wonder is only secondary, after all. SHE 1S OLD AT GAME Altho she ts merely a girl she is old in tennis, At 11 Suzanne was good enough to beat her parents. She won the champlonship France when but 14. In 1919 she took every event she of a single set and also the singles and doubles championship at Wim bledon, England, by defeating Mra. Lamber, Chambers in the challenge round. Last year she maintained ber un- beaten record. She won the singles championship again at Wimbledon, also the doubies' with Mixes Ryan, and the mixed doubles with Gerald Patterson, the Australian. “Before the war I had gained the title of world’s champion,” says Su- | zanne, SHE WANTS TO WIN IN AMERICA “But in reality I have ently won Now I want to win it in America That will give me the undisputed right to be called the world's cham pion. “Tennis te only secondary te me. “I hope to make enough out of my tour in America to set myself up in housekeeping, as you Americans call it—eettling down. “I don't practice much any more. I couldn't bear the idea of training every day. That would be tiresome and take all the fun out of the game for me. only pastime, too, for I dance and swim poorly.” EASILY BEAT MOLLA MALLORY Her victory over Mra, Mola Bjur- stedt Mallory recently in France was not so much of a surprise as was the ease with which she van- quished America’s leading woman player, ‘The game which the French girl Plays is the most spectacular of any player in the world. @he leaps into the air. She flies across the court, her hair streaming. She hits the ball with the power of a man. Her very name, Suzanne, suggests pep. And if she were an American we'd Ukely call her “Pep” Leglen instead of Mile, Suzanne. RAY SCHALK WORKS HARD FOR MONEY thin handling Kid Gleason's kid pitchers. A great deal of the burden of de- veloping the young Sox moundsmen has fallen to the lot of the diminu- tive Schalk. It is said that Schalk loses from 5 to 10 pounds during every game that he competes in while he gains some of it back when his relief catcher is working. Many say that it would do Babe Ruth good to get hold of Schalk's recipe.
