RISBERG AND McMULLN
LEAVE WORLDS CHAMPS

CHICAGO. Aug. 1O.-when the
White Sox go East they will be with
out the services OF Charlie Risberg
and Fred McMuIlin. Both crack in
fielders have left the worlds cham
piOns and gone to California to take
positions with shipbuilding concerns.
The spirit of those players remaining
is not the winning spirit and Man
ager Rowland does not expect 10 see

Chick Gandil. the veteran first 1ase-

DEMPSEY SMASHES
FULTON'S ALIBI
WITHOUT TROUBLE

CHICAGO. Aug. 1O-Out of Mime
ApolIs the other day, when Fred Fulton
arrived there. he sprung an alibi that
the punch that knocked him out was
foul. The tall Minnesota plasterer
claimed that he and Dempsey had
agreed to break clean and not strike
at each other after the referee had
said break"
Dempsey violated this agreement
and struck me as we were stepping
back" is the way Fulton or some
body else put II for him.
Dempsey was asked about this yes
terday. That's not so at ALL" the
young fighter said. '"To begin with,
we agreed to box straight Queens
berry rules and to protect ourselves
at all times. That explodes his alibi
right there, but IL you want further
proof that he is wrong, l will say that
there was never a clinch during the
fight, and never once did the referee
tell us to break or address us in any
way after the first bell"

Fans Think So Tno

Since the Government ruled base
ball to be nonessential, the fans have
come to the same decision. wher-
ever a team is not in the pennant
hunt, the attendance figures have
dropped amazingly ever since Privost
MarBhal General Crowder's official
ruling was made known to an anx-
ious public and a flock OF drowsy
magnates. The Cubs are still sup
ported in the National Legue and
fair-sized crowds turn out in Wash
ington, but the only cities where
really large crowds are found are
Boston and Cleveland.
