HIS HEAVY TITLE

Observation-Disclosures Only One
Fourth of What Promoter
Tex Richard Expected.

TOLEDO, o. July 9.-Gate receipts
OF the heavyweight championship con-
test between Jack Dempsey and Jess
Willard here July 4, were unofficially
announced at approximately S452, 900.
Attendance, Promoter Tex Richard said,
was between 20. 900 and q. 900.
These approximate figures were au-
thorized by Richard because of the de-
lay in arriving at the official attend
ance and receipts. Revenue agents
are checking up the figures to determine
the amount of war tax due the govern
ment and they probably will not finish
the task until late today. Promoter
Richard left for New York last night
without knowing exactly how much
money the contest drew,
The announcement that the bout drew
only about 20, 900 persons, less thai one
fourth Of the seating capacity of the
arena, was a big surprise, Richard said
that all Of the $50 seats were sold and
that virtually all Of the $50 seats were
disposed of, but that the disappoint-
ment came in the sale of the cheapest
seats, which sold for $40.
Provision had been made to seat be-
$40 seat section, but only about 5000
seats were sold.
The Toledo charity fund will be en-
richened by virtually S3t 500 as the re-
suit of the contest. The city received
seven per cent of the gross receipts.
The money will be used in endowing
hospital beds for the poor and taking
children OF poor families on summer
vacations.

MERCANTILE LEAGUE.
BY BOB WHITE

The Orgills have a good pitcher in
King, who really pitched his first bad
game of ball Saturday against the En-
ARGOS. If he had been bearing the
pitching burden for the hardware boys
the entire season their standing might
have been different.
Lamon is playing a good game for
the Orgills.

Of the strongest hitting amateurs in

he does not drive out a couple of safe
smashes.
Rice, of the Enarcos, is improving in
passably fair during the early part of
the season.
The real sensation of the Mercantile
league, second to Patrick's pitching, is
the brilliant catching of G. Metteer, of
the Gas team. Giles has been severely
handicapped in prior years due to alb
sence of weight. He has now acquired
the needed flesh and is playing the
game of his young life.
Roach, of the Gas team, is turning in
some brilliant fielding plays these days
and getting his share of the hits.
Harwood's work on the Polarine in
field, is brilliant and his stick work
helped the Polarines to victory In last
Saturdays 15-inning fracas.
Moore, the youthful catcher of the
Polarines, Is catching nice ball and do
ing his share to win Polarine games,
His run won the game Saturday for the
Polarines, but, of course, team mates
helped him around, once he got on.

PHILADELPHIA, July 9,-"Gavvy".
Cravath. the hard-hitting outfielder OF
the Philadelphia Nationals entered
upon his managerial career today in the
hope of building up a winning team.
He said, however, he would have to get
some new players in order to do so.
Cravath was appointed manager of the
Phillies yesterday, succeeding Jack
Coombs, who resigned.
Cravath said President Baker had

it is an almost impossible task TO take

Coombs, who was one OF Connie
Mack's principal pitchers when the
Philadelphia Athletics were winning

He has business interests in Texas,
to which he says he will now give his
attention.

that he had won the decision, he was
