Jack Dempsey Read y
 For Miske Bout

New York July 12-Jack Dempsey is in town and he is going to do his bit for the soldier boys at Madison Square Garden on next Tuesday night and no mistake about it. Dempsey is going to box Billy Miske for the War Department Training Camp Activi- ties Fund, and you may be sure that he considers it anything but a cake walk for he began hard training for the bout at Billy Grupp's Gymnasium yesterday afternoon. Dempsey and Miske fought recently in St. Paul and it was a most bitter engagement They were both on the verge of a knockout several times, and to this day the St. Paul critics are divided as to who really won the honogs.
 When Dempsey stepped into the gym yesterday he remarked: Well here goes Billy Miske. I'll be ready for that bird this time and I'll get more pleasure out of whipping him for the soldier fund than I would in beating Fred Fulton for a lot ot money. I'm not afraid of Fulton, for I know I can beat him when we meet but I've got an old score to settle with Miske and I'll settle it for noth- ing. I'm glad to be able to help out the soldier boys, and I've passed ur some lucrative matches in order te box here"

.H.F.BAKERI IS BIC SUCCESS AS
 SHORTSTOP
Never Played shortfield Be- fore Until Grimes Put
 Him There.

Howard F. Baker is certainly hit ting the apple hard for the Ameri- cans. Howard who is third sacker short for one who has never played that position before. Howard has had a funny life in baseball. He had two chances to become a regu- lar player in the big leagues but threw up both of them. ''Howie'' has one bad fault and that is lazi- ness. He was begged by McGraw to report to the Giants at the end of the 1915 season but for some reason refused to take Johns advice. How ard was given another chance to gain regular berth with the Giants when he was taken South by them last spring. The heat must have made ''Howie'' lazy as he was again farm ed out to the Southern league. When the Southern league blew up "Howie" was urged by Mickey Finn to go to Hartford of this league. But Mickey on his way to Hartford, left the players at Washington. Two ot the players signed by Mickey jump ed to the Steel League. "Howis,' ''
 @O4AIAAcSL anu WGdN0E were lO SO IC Hartford to play the next day, but when the train came to Bridgeport "Howie left the other two players When the local manager heard that "Howie" was in town he went to see him at once as he was in need of g shortstop since Braun jumped the team. "Howie' who loves to play 1T the city was signed up by the Amer. jeans within twenty-four hours.
 Here is the baseball life of Baker during the last few years. At the end of the 1914 season Baker wal sent to the Chicago Americans from Evansville for a trial The White Sox shipped him to Little Rock fo experience. He remained there un til 1915. He was drafted by tht Giants during the same year but fo some unknown reason refused to re port. He got permission from tn, Giants to play with the local club il | 1916. At the end of the season h, was reclaimed by the Giants H.
 was taken South in the Spring bu was later released to New Orleans o the Southern league. He played il the Southern league the first part O
 this season, coming East after tn | league blew up.

He allowed the Murphy Tribe but six hits during the fray and was only guilty of giving two free tickets.
 Andy Vim led the Americans with the willow while Skiff and Kid Sher- wood also had a good day with the stick. Andy knocked out two triples and single while Skiff came through with two doubles. Sherwood received a pair of singles. Sava hit the pill to the left field fence which was the longest hit of the game but as he did not feel like running, the clout went for but two bases. Nutter starred for the Murlins both at bat and in the field.
 The Murlins made the first tally in the first inning. With one down Lied knocked a double to center field and advanced to third on Nutter's infeld hit. Simpson knocked a sacrifice fly to H. W. Baker and Lied counted They received their second run in the third frame. Torphy started it off by walking. Lied fouled out but Nuttel came through with a single to center which sent Torphy to third.

Roundup At Ball Park

Chicago, July 12.---More than 800 men of draft age were taken from the Chicago National League base ball park yesterday in a search for slackers.

 The gates were locked and detec- tives and Federal operatives took their places at all of the exits from the park. When the game was over all those who seemed to be of draft age were held up.
 Those who produced their registra- tion cards and their classification cards and sufficient proofs of their right to be in civilian clothes were permitted to pass.
 Five hundred men were found with out sufficient Identification. They were taken to the police station and quizzed Most of them eventually were re- leased, only a few being detained foG further investigation.

Finneran Pitches Good Game But Lone Run in Third Beats Him-Cov- eleskie Holds Yanks to Three Hits.

New York, July 12-The Cleveland Indians did something at the Polo Grounds yesterday that no other team has been able to do this season. They shut out the Tanks on their home lot by a score of 1 to 0, the job being mainly done by Stanley Coveleskie, He was the only citizen on the prem ises who was able to get two hits and he scored the only run of the pastime to say nothing of dipping a repertoire of filings at the Yank batsmen that had them groping around like 8 man in the dark.
 Umpire ToWmy Connolly didn't have a friend on either club. Early in the fray he refused to take any back talk from Iris Speaker, and af- ter that he and Manager Huggins kept up running fire of arguments. tion because Huggins maintained that the Cleveland batsmen were crowding Catcher Al Walters when Al was try ing to flip the ball to second base.
 Connolly also had other things on his mind. The Cleveland lads had an idea that Joe Finneran was throw ing his tallow ball ,and every few minutes the players had to take peek at the ball or made the umpire tako slant at it. Connolly looked and looked but didn't discover a thing. Finneran was unusually effective. whatever way he was throwing the ball. Only in one round, the third, were the Indians able to break through to the platter.
 The game was held up for a few minutes in the seventh inning, when it began to rain so hard that Lant'
 scape Gardener Henry Fabian had to put on the diamonds raincoat. CIeve- land showed symptoms of rallying all over Ffnneran just after the shower. but Joe, with the bases damned and l trouble lurking all around him, f1n- ished the inning without leaving the earth, when he had every encourage ment to go volplaning.
 | Caldwell in Outfield. Ping Bodie ran so fast to first base 1 in the second inning that something went wrong with the springs in his legs and he pulled up lame. Ping went straight to the garage and Slim Caldwell went out to centre field, while Miller played in left.

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 12.---The Dodgers for the first time since they started their Western trip had three legitimate outfielders on duty in yes- terday afternoons lineup, but they were easily defeated by the Reds in the third game of their series here. The score was to 8.

PTTrSBURG 5; NEW YORK 4

Pittsburgh, July 12.---J Erskine Mayer, erstwhile Philadelphia pitcher, batted out a victory over the Giants for the Pittsburgh Pirates here yes terday afternoon. The Giants nicked J. Erekine for nine solid hits and scored four runs off him, but they couldn't figure on his prowess as a batter, and his hit in the ninth frame won for his new club, to 4.
 IA young man named Southworth, Casey Stengel's successor in right field for the Pirates, was also parti- ceps crinnins with Mayer in the defeat of the Giants. Southworth collected three solid hits off George Smith, who was doing the pitching for New York, and drove in three Pittsburgh runs; ] and as J. Erekine accounted for the other two, it looks as though they are most to blame for the Giants defeat.

Hartford, July 12 It will be "Chief' Bender, the famous Indian pitcher, against Al Mamaux, the sen sational young twirler, Sunday after noon at Poh Field when the strong Colonials of New Haven stack up against the hard-hitting Poli aggrega- ton. Manager Weiss of the Colonials notified Manager Gillette of the Poli club yesterday that Bender will be his choice as Fisher will not be available, being scheduled to pitch for the Fort Slocum team tomorrow which will prevent him from working Sunday, Tt pitch two days in succession would be too much of a risk for Fisher, and he would be in danger of throwing out l his arm,
