SENTIMENT CHANGES
DAILY IN BIG BOUT
Willard May Be Favorite One
Day, but the Next Finds
Dempsey the Choice
JEss's WIND IS IMPROVING

Toledo. O.. June IS. - With the
heavyweight championship contest be-
tween Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey
set for decision three weeks from today.
sporting authorities on the battle-ground
today are frankly at loss to select their
favorite. All are agreed that probably
no heavyweight championship contest
since the memorable battle between
James j. Corbett and John l.. Sullivan
has created such a variance of opinion.
Sentiment seems to change every day.
Willard, after an impressive workout,
may become the favorite one day, but
the next may find sentiment switching
to his youthful challenger. "Wsit until
we see how Willard worked in his train
ing bouts week before the match"
invariably is the answer of boxing ex-
perts., .".
Willard is finishing the second week
OF his serious preparation vastly inn
proved, and there seems little doubt in
the opinion of experts that he will be
in first-cla condition within two
weeks. His wind is improving rapidly
and the f1abbiness of his legs and upper
arms is gradually hardening into solid
muscle. ..-
Dempsey is eager to resume his box
ing, but must wait another day, as the
skin forming over his damaged eve is
still too tender to permit any rough
work. Manager Jack Kearns announced
that the challenger would not be al
lowed to put on the gloves until Sun
day. He fears that if the wound should
be .reopened it might prove dangerous
to his vision.

The national champion was injured

side lines until after the nationals. Tn
der the Doctors care, however, Miss
Bjurstcdt's injury has healed and he
has given her permission to compete
here next week.

But it is likely that Miss Bjurstedt
will not compete in the three titular
competitions. Her physician advised
her to compete in only one, but Miss
Bjurstedt has stated that she will com
pete in the singles and doubles. She
will pair with Mrs. Spencer Fuller
ton Weaver in the, doubles.
This week Miss Bjurstedt and Mrs.
weaver are competing III Ane uouDles
of the invitation tourney on the turf

to the semifinal round. Miss Bjurstedt

and look up the name of that youngster
who's protecting the third corner for
Jimmy Burke.
Here's the dope that's listed under
James B. Austin {, e.
Birthplace-Swansea, Wales.
Date of birth-September. 1922.
The official records would have us
believe James is just three years and
three months short of his centennial,
but he is not busting the plate with his
whlskers yet and he capers around the
bases without the use of a rheumatic
cane. James admits this is his thirty
seventh summer. The linotype operator
merely punched the ''2'' kew twice in :
stead of stamping the IS" key twice.
Marvellous Player. Mack's Opinion
CONNlE MACK holds Jimmy Austin
~ out 10 his ambitious but failing AS
as an example of spirited and fighting
ball player.
There would be great difference in
the play of the st. Louis Club with
Austin out! said Mack recently. "He
is the life of the whole team. He's so
anxious to get putouts that he'll chase
the left fielder and shortstop out of po =
sition to get the ball. He's always on
his toes and he keeps the rest of the
players keyed up. Jimmy Austin is a
marvellous player"
Jimmy is now spending his eleventh
summer under the Big Shed and his
ninth as a member of the Browns. He
started his real professional career in
! 1904, when he shortstopped on the Day :
| ton Club, of the Central League, and
| from there drifted to the Western
League with the Omaha Club in 1907
He was shared by che Yankees in 1905
and sold to st. Louis two seasons later
Austin never has hit 800 in the
Johnson circuit. His best batting year
was in 1913, when he turned in .27:
card at the eighteenth hole. His aver:
age in the ten-year stretch is .245
Never a heavy hitter, he always ha!
been bad man in a pinch.
Nine years is a long time to be sen
\ fenced to st. .Looie, but Jimmy ha'
survived. He's one of the grand ole
men of baseball who are upsetting thu
grand old dope.

Cactus Hits Everything

GROVER CLEVELAND ALEX-
" ANDER still maintains there isn't
n pitcher living who knows what to
throw to Cactus Cravath that he cant
hit. Despite the fact that Alex won
his third straight game of the season
3 to O yesterday from the Phillies In
Chicago he is still puzzlins over Cravath
for the heavy slugger slugged him for
a single and double.
I've watched Cravath play for
years." says Alex. according to q dis
patch from the west, ''and if anybody
ought to know what he can't hit I
ought to but I've never been able to
discover what it is. Some pitchers say
he can't hit a high inside one. Watch
him clout that. Some say a low out
side one, watch him go to that. Watch
him wallop anything YOU send up that Is
anywhere near over the plate. I've
tried everything I know and he gets to
me-"
Alex prefers any other batter in the
league to face him than Cravath. The
only time he is welcome is when there
are two out. The famous hurler fan
ned Cravath in his first appearance al
the plate and tossed him out on a
measly bounder the second trip. But
the next time Cactus shot sizzler be :

next time 1t was double to deep right.

IN pitching so well shown as in yes
terday's Windy City game. Jacobs put
up a great exhibition. For six innings
trio of Cubs marched to the plate and
back again. Then they started hitting
in the seventh and eighth and with
three hits in each inning notched three
runs. :,
Alexander pulled himself out of hole
in the eighth by sheer strong arm work.
Meusel stung long double to right a,

single to center too short to let Meuse

times up. Thompson is promising
portsider and may prove valuable to
Connie.
After announcing the Grover -Thomp-
son trade Mack waxed enthusiastic over
Morris Burrus, the new first baseman
he picked up from Columbia, s. c.,
club of the Atlantic League. Burrus
is only twenty one years old, a clever
fielder and heavy hitter. He bats and
throws left handed and already has
been called a second Hal Chase. He
will report the latter part of next week
and will be placed in the game imme :
diately.
1t may have been that the showing
of George Burns in the so defeat
handed out by the Browns yesterday
had something to do with Mack decid
ing to use Barrus as soon as he hurdles
into an Athletic uniform. Three times
hit off Burns's bat would have meant
run, but Gawge failed on each oc-
casion.
