Dempsey Says He Only Wants a Fair Percentage of Gate for Bout With Wills. "1 am wil to box Wills any time on t days’ notice,” Jack Dempsey told me T had st watched the efampion’s workout at Stillman's gymnahium on Fighth Aven York, with Jack Thompson.

That's plain bunk,’’ said Dempsey quickly. “I've asked for a $500,000 guarantee and wouldn't think of such @ thing. I'm worth a fair percentage of what T can draw the gate in any fight, and all T wantlfor a Wills fight is a straight percentage. OF course, the promoters will have to be responsible and able to through part of the contract. Anybody can make an offer, but 't takes a big man to run off a cham- pionship bout the way my match with Carpentier was handled. I don’t bother much ubout the business de- tails, Jack Kearns takes care of ull that and Ido the fighting. I'm sat never carry their tied with any arrangement Kearns makes, because I know it will be all right. * “The only thing that ever bothers me,” the champ went on, “is having to stick around without any work to do in my line.

PENNANT OWNERSHIP New York, Now Only a Half Game} in Lead, to Depend on Joe Bush, While Rivals Are Undecided About Pitching Selection. By Bozeman Bulger. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 18. HE} choice of a pitcher for the Browns this afternoon took tho city ae of St. Louis tu a firm grasp this morning and {s making it pop like saddle, The Boosters’ Club, the Board of Trade and other civis bodies are making recommendations so rapidly that Lee Fohl says he regrets not having submitted it to an open primary. In the downtown section they appear to think well of Davis. Out in the Forest Park region there is strong feeling for Vangilder. Down deep in his own ‘heart Manager Fohl ts thinking seriously of using Bill Bayne because of his being left handed and because a southpaw! trimmed us yesterday. The early editions of the papers run strong to! avis, but they openly express a fear that he will be wild. Don't think that this is a flippant matter. There is nothing else bein: talked of in St. Louis this day of days and that doesn’t except the al shortage or the railroad strike settlement, either. A citizen of Missourt who hasn't his mind on baseball is-guilty of lese majen, The point ts that the pitcher who steps on that mound in a few hours will dectde whether or not St. Louis gets a chance to play in the World's Serles. It is the last chance. A victory puts them ahead of the Yan A defeat throws the Browns out of the race. At least, so think the owner, the ballplayers and the great common people. There ts no doubt as to what the Yanks will do, Miller Huggins sayw nel never sends a boy to mill. He has openly announced that he will troc out Joe Bush and let the enemy have the best he has in shop. He will shoot the | whole works on one roll of the dice, Had the Yanks won yesterday Hugg.as would: have used Sam Jones, but the time for guessing has passed. It will] old Bullet Joe, and Bush is happy that such is the case. All the Seats for Game Sold. In the meantime the little World's Series goes into tts final stage the whole city under a full head of steam. All the seats have been gold, ve extra police have been retained and the newspapers are begging the over wrought fans to restrain themselves and show the world that they can sportsmen. Oh, but it t# serious out here. The club management, as f first precaution, has disarmed the bleacher. tes by stopping the sale of pop in bottles in “No Man's Land"—the field stands. If a fan must have {ts pop out there in the rough and ready ter ritory, he will have to drink it out of a paper sack. The range Is too long for occupants of the so-called pavillions and they may retain their arma, There were go bottles hurled Sunday, but in the mad celebration of the victory the newly made spirit of sportsmanship forgot itself long enough for the local proletariat to hurl leather cushions at the New York section of the press box. Out here we are not considered non-combatants. And, either om a looping throw or a flat trajectory, a St. Louis citizen shows a mean cume trol. One expert made six bulls eyes on a New York scribe and one tele= graph operator had his instrument knocked out from under him right in the middle of a beautiful paragraph. None of us escaped entirely. These throws were usually punctuated with ‘send that to The World and Herald.” The Times got an occasional mention as its correspondent ducked, but somehow, they couldn't think of any other name right quick. There was no question about their aim, though. : a new Fans Try to Censor New York News. should and demand that certain corrections be madé, By some mist Owner Ball, known as “Frugal Philip,” sold the seat occupied by myself tt The Sunday game was a complete triumph for the Browns and in u Yank camp there is no alibt—not even a suggestion of one, - pring, wildly waving a left arm and a fade: curve, was told to go out and get them Yankees.
