DEMPSEY IS GREA TEST
OFALL KALE ENTTCERS
Heavyweight Champion Greatest Dra,cing Card in
Sports, With Carpenter Second and Ruth, Man O.
! |. War; and Cobb Trailing
BY GRANTLAND RICE

IAN ENERGETIC camp follower
~ along the statistical trail desires to
,rov the greatest turnstile products OF
tbe vear-meaning the list Of those who
uould draw in more money at the gate.
This record shouldn't be very hard to
evure out. The leading kale enticer
would be Jack Dempsey. due to his pos
session Of the heavyweight title.
counled with Willard last July he
draw in more than $3.50, 900 for one
appearance at Toledo.
! Coupled with Carpenter now he
would be good for more than $500 900.
MANY of these might deposit the ring
aldo tax in the hope Of seeing Dempsey
knocked three -cornered, but they would
bo there just the same.
The Second Bet ....-
CARPENTER, as possessor of the
y European heavyweight title. would
be the second selection.
The Frenchman, In meeting Dempsey,
would be almost an equal card with the
CHAMPION. His general popularity Is
much greater, but he doesn't hold the
main crown.
carpentier could play to a tremen.
dous house in tackling any good heavy
weight, but as long as the title was
moi at stake the receipts would be well
below a championship meeting.
The Third Selection
THE third selection rigs out more Of a
l. problem. Babe" Ruth Is undoubt-
edly the greatest turnstile favorite that
baseball has ever known. In the last
two seasons more people have paid the
toll to see Ruth than any, even Cobb,
ever lured to the stands In the same
length Of time.
Ruth Is a more sensational product
than Cobb, as his mastery happens to
no In line with the public fancy at
tached to home runs.
The public at large is extremely fond
of seeing the ball lifted out Of the in
closure. 1t is the Big Blooie which
produces the thrill.
Ruth. in the course of a season, will
probably draw more money than Man
o. War, as the latter makes far fewer
appearances and SO far no rival has
appeared to challenge his mastery.
Yet Man O. War will draw more
extra money in a single day than Ruth
will. He might even give Ruth a bat
tie on the year.
At an average Of 81 throw Ruth
will easily be good for $3.50, 900 this
season, counting only those who have
come to see the "Babe" and who other
wise would remain at work or be out
missing short puts.
But Man o. War costs So a head.
And IL the big three year old had a
challenger of merit to dispute the issue,

Naval academy Eleven
Wants Game for Nou. 20

Annapolis, June 29.--The United
States Naval Academy Is without a
football contest for November 90. As
this is the Saturday previous to the
big game of the year with West
Point, at the Polo Grounds, the
middies desire a game with a team
of moderate strength. According to
word from Annapolis the college team
wanted for this vacant date should be
lone of moderate strength, strong
enough to keep the Navy team NOV
ing, but not one for which special
preparation must be made and which
would risk injuries to some Of the
regulars.
This season Annapolis will meet
some Of the best elevens in the coun-
try in Princeton, Lafayette, West
Point and Georgetown.

HARRIS, BIKE STAR,
NOW RECOVERING
Suffers Broken colIarbone In
FaII-Madonna to Make
Bow Here

George Harris, the Olympic g. G.,
amateur, who suffered broken collar
bone last Saturday night at the Point
Breeze velodrome, has been discharged
from the Methodist Hospital and is now
at his home well on his way to re-
covery.
Harris will be unable to race for
some time, but his broken collar bone
will not keep him away from the Velo-
drome. He will witness the games as a
spectator.
Harris's injury was the result of a
fill in the quarter mile amateur race
Saturday. He was thrown down the
track when a number of riders were
pushed into the fence when A. Walters,
of the Quaker City g. c., rode high.
Walters was indefinitely suspended for
his illegal riding.
1t is the intention of the track Of
ficials to see that the amateurs live up
to the rules. Any rider who is guilty
of violating the laws will be set down
for a long period of time. The officials
have been very strict this season and
it is mainly through the enforcement
of the regulations that accidents have
been held down to a minimum. The
uINluthI was Iut uTbt
one this season.
1t has been announced that Vim
cenzo Maddena, the Italian, who is @
favorite in bike circles here, would
make his first bow Of the season Thurs
day night. He will appear in the
Quaker invitation thirty mile motor
paced race. Pitted against him will bt

the worlds champion; Leon Wander.

Menus Bedell, the holder Of the houl

In the sprint professional race, Or.
lando Piani, the Italian short distanc,
champion, and Johnny Staehl, of New
ark, will pedal for the best two in thre,
one mile heats. Piani has not beer
beaten this year at Point Breeze. Staeh
is the former amateur champion.

Home Grounds
HOME grounds count for something
- in more games than baseball. Pat.
terson won the British tennis cham
pionship at Wimbledon and was then
defeated by Johnston at Forest Hills,
Johnston, playing at Wimbledon, was
beaten in his second match by the
veteran Parke. Which recalls the fact
that Mclaughlin lost to Wilding by A
wide margin at Wimbledon and a bit
later defeated Wilding and Brookes at
Forest Hills.
Johnston has the skill and the stanch
determination of great match player.

stamina. He isn't physically robust.

GOVERNMENT PERMITS USE OF LIGHTHOUSE

Many of the important scenes in the great Nazimova picture Out Of the Fog" which will appear at the Liberty Theatre on Sunday and Mon- day were made at a well known lighthouse on the coast of Maine. Permission for this unusual privilege was granted by the Government.
 "Out of the Fog" gives Nazimova two distinctive roles which provide every opportunity for her intense and varied powers. Some of the scenes depict the lighthouses lonely ob- iect in a desolate spot-lashed and buffeted by the stormtossed waves. Others taken in the light tower showing the revolving light which is seen by ships far out at sea, warning them of the treacherous rocks and shoals upon which the beacon stands.
