The affair, which drew in the nelghborhood of about 4,000 persons, was supposed to give a line on how Harry Wills shapes up as a future opponent for Jack Dempsey. From all Wills was able to show to one of the ring offi- clals who did duty last night “Demp- ney would tear him apart in a round.” Wills had absolutely no chance to display either his punching or boxing ability. However, his exhfbition upon a human punching bag was nothing to give his admirers anything to rave over, Harry simply walked into his frightened opponent and cuffed him (o every side of the ring during the three minutes of the first round.

(Special to The CHICAGO, Aug. 22. Brooklyn Robins have reached a west- ern city where they have not been buried allve this season. The Cardi+ nals and Reds ate the Robins raw, without pepper and salt, in St. Louis and Cincinnat!, but the Robins feasted on the Cubs for a series of three games on the first western trip. On the second trip they did not exactly feast, but they won two of five and have a comfortable lead on the Cubs. ‘The Robins and Cubs start a serles of three games In three days in Chi- cago this afternoon and they should be tough contests. The Cubs have been the sensation of the major leagues for the past month, but were cooled a little when the Giants took two out of three from them last week. That lelped the Giants to increase their lead on a@ll contenders and set the Cubs back, but the Cubs have ral- lied from the shock and are playing with a fleree determination to get somewhere, Dazzy Vance, who won a game from the Cardinals in St. Louis last week, ts the only pitcher considered for the opening day. He had shut out the Cubs twice this year, and ranks among the foremost winners in the league, with fifteen victories to his credit. Vance to-day, Ruether to-morrow and Grimes in the last game on Thurs- day is the rail bird stuff, but Grimes started talking about his arm being sore and is offering that as an excuse for the unmerciful licking the Reds gave him in Cincinnati last Sunday, after the Robins had sllpped to Grimes a lead of four juicy runs in the second inning. e Robins ran into another hart exhibition game yesterday when the went to Saginaw, Mich., to play the Michigan-Ontario League team of that town, They found plenty of op- position, but won out by 3 to 1 Pitching for Saginaw was Pau Schreiber, a right-hander from Plorifa, who belongs to Brookiyn All the runs off Schreiber came when tr Robins bunched doubles by Wheat and Neis, a pass to Schmandt a double steal by Neis and Schmand and a single by Andy High. Afte: two were out in the fourth inning Schreiber allowed a total of twelve hits, but was tight in pinches except in the fourth inning Harry Shriver, who was bought by Brooklyn from Saginaw at the end of last sedson, pitched five innings against his former buddies yesterday and allowed three hits, Elllott, the Saginaw first baseman, made a home run over the right field fence in the second inning. Decatur pitched the last four innings and allowed two hits and no runs ARGENTINE FOUR TO PRACTICE TO-DAY RUMSON, N.J.. Aug, 22.—Tho gath- erlng of the polo clans here for the first match at the fashtonable Rumson Country Club on Saturday Is alread; commencing. So far those present aro most!y players, but before several mot days are past the real influx of enthusl- acts will be under way Judging from the seat sale, as re- ported by James C. Auchincloas, in of tickets In New York at 3 adway, upward of 6,000 perso the opening match betw: ntine four and the Orai y team. That the crowd will be as colorful as it will be large is only to be expected by,any who have witnessed International polo matches. The sale of tickets to the Rumson tournaments, Incidentally, gives a fair Indication of the interest that eing shown In polo this year not alone by those high in society, wuo have always taken a keen delight In the game, but as well by the main body of American sport lovers, The series of matches at Philadelphia and Meadow Brook, which will follow those at Rumson, will also he witnessed by exceptior.al crowds. The Argentine team, which expected to have Its firs: workout on the Rum- son Field yesterday, will hold its firet practice to-day The Argentine team will play tn the H. L. Herbert Memorial Cup tourney under a thirty-goal handicap, as ort Inally announced, Thelr handicap wi raised by Bugitan polo authorities from thirty to thircy-two after they swept through thelr matches in England, but no cognizance will be taken of the change in this country, inasmuch as their entries were accepted on a thirty- goal basis ‘ In the open championship, which fol- lows the play for the Herbert Memorial trophy, all play will of course be on an even basis, regardless of handicaps. peli ect TE COBB GAINS A POINT IN A.
