THE TOMMY RYANS.

Confusion as to which Ct the two
Tommy Ryans-Tommy Of De
Moines or Tommy of Syracuse-is
former middleweight champion, has
led to much discussion in the tri-
cities. One newspaper this week
mentioned the former as having
been the middleweight marvel of
his age. That was erroneous for
Tommy Ryan of Syracuse, not Tom
my Ryan of Des Moines, once wore
| the crown and retired in 1907 with
gut a logical contender in sight.
Tommy Ryan of Des Meines, who
came to Rock Island on Wednesday
to serve as pail bearer at the fun
/ eral of Babe" Meanor, was only a
good second-rater in his palmiest
/ days. although he met and defeated
many of the near-champions 20
years ago. He was then known as
"Philadelphia Tommy" Ryan to dis
tinguish him from Tommy Ryan Of
Syracuse, who was champion at
that time.
/ Word comes from Syracuse that
former. champion Tommy Ryan is
about to remove to Los Angeles to
spend the rest of his days in the
peace and quiet of sunny California.
After retiring undefeated in 1907.
after being recognized champion
for a decade or more. Ryan bought
la farm outside Syracuse and set
| tied down to lead an easy, simple
life. However, it was not long be-
fore he heard the old call again.
/ Syracuse had always been q
lively fight center and Ryan was
prevailed upon to become match
maker Of the old Armory A. C. The
arena was equipped splendidly for
boxing purposes. v The structure
housed three regiments of cavalry
belonging to the National Guard,
and the armory wherein the fights
were held was a large super-arena
covered with tanbark. 1t would &C
commodate about 10000 persons.
1 Eventually Ryan bought out all
the other interests and became sole
proprietor of the Armory A. G.. and
then established for himself the
reputation of being one OF the
| shrexdest promoters and match
makers in the game. In connection
| Ryan operated one Of the best
known gymnasi6fns in the country.
Boxers came there to train from
lfar and near. The club prospered
heavily until Ryan sold out last

Benton Harbor. Mich, Sept. A.
(By Associated Press) .-Ofhcial an
nouncement OF the referee Of the
l0-round bout here Monday after
noon, between Jack Dempsey,
worlds heavyweight champion and
Billy Miske, the challenger. was ex-
pected today with the scheduled
arrival of Jack Reddy. Miske's
manager.
Indications seemed favorable 70
the selection OF Jim Daugherty Of
Philadelphia, a personal friend q
Dempsey and his manager, Jack
Kearns, but official announcement
was withheld pending tho arrival
of Reddy from Cleveland. Reddy
indicated there last night that he
might oppose this selection.
Show on for Fans.
Although Dempsey and Miske in
ished their hard training yesterday.
they will continue to work In pub
!! lie this afternoon and tomorrow to
satisfy the big crowds that have
damned the training camps. Demp-
sey planned long walk this morn
ing, but will do no real running or
jogging. II he goes into the ring
late this afternoon. 1t will be mere
ly to take exercise OF the lightost
sort and to box a couple of rounds.
Miske said he would not tramp
over the sand-laden roads because
the heavy going might dull his
speed.
Miske Sees Even Go.
The ruddy-cheeked challenger Is
winding up his training supremacy
confident that be will hold the
champion even.
The twin resort cities of Benton
Harbor and st. Joseph are rapidly
filing with fight fans. Ringside
celebrities are dropping of every
train. The demand for rooms al
ready has exceeded the supply at
the various hotels and boarding
houses and these places are quar-
tering three and four persons IN q
room. So full is Benton Harbor,
that 1t is becoming a problem to
find room in the restaurants.
There has been a slight advance
In the prices, but Mayor RosbAck
has issued warning to restaurant
keepers not to profiteer.

Betting
Scandal
on Cubs


Chicago. Sept. 4.-President VIII
liam Veeck Of the Chicago National
League baseball team, began inyes-
tigation Of charges made here to-
day that the Cubs had deliberately
lost last Tuesdays game, which
Philadelphia won. 3 to 0, and that
professional gamblers cleaned
up" in betting coup as result.
Mr.. Veeck said he had no evil
dence to either prove or disprove
the charges. but would make every
effort to sift the matter.
my impression all year long has
besQ that there was less gambling
this year than ever before" he
said. Il thought that might be at
tributed to the fact that we went
after some fellows pretty hard last
year.
Lee Magee Of the Cubs and Hal
Chase Of the Giants were let out for
indifferent ball playing" last year
and it was later brought out in a
hearing granted Magee that the
real cause was the fact that he was
suspected Of having bet against his
own team in a game at Boston.
Magee brought suit at Cincinnati
for back salary but lost the case.
The basis Of the charges made
in connection with Tuesdays game
is that Detroit, Boston, Cincinnati
and Chicago gamblers are said to
have placed $4,000 on Philadel-
phia, forcing the odds on Tues
days game from 2 to l on the Cubs,
to to on the Phillies. A few
minutes before the game was cal
led, Manager Fred Mitchell ordered
Alexander to pitch, although it was
not his ordinary turn. Mitchell is
quoted as explaining that he sent
in his star twirler because ! want
ed to win that game badly"

RIVAL SCHOOLS
Kimmelites Have Weeks Edge Or
Davenport and Moline Stiff
Tackle Drill Is Held.
BY sALIBI ALL

After a week OF DloOdSwedtlng
workouts, the dope for cham
pionship football squad at the
Rock Island High School looks bet
ter than ever. The Islanders got the
Jump on the other tri-city teams by
getting out and chasing the pigskin
in PRELIMINARY work before either
Moline or Davenport athletes have
had on suits.
Coach Kimmel finished up the
week last night with the first tack
ling practice Of the year and High
players are still limping from the
effect. For the first part Of the
week only catching punts and fall
ing on the ball were tried, but last
night some heavy work was accom-
plished. Scrimmage is expected
some time next week, perhaps We'd
neSday.
A vast number Of recruits have
joined the squad since the first few
days. There are more than SO out
fits issued and almost all the can
didates report for practice daily.
The shortage of jerseys became
SO serious that a hurry call was
sent for second class sweaters to
be used in practice. A lot OF new
equipment arrived at school last
night, among which were three new
balls, one of which was used FOL
the first time yesterday evening.
Pants, hip guards. headgears and
shimbles were the rest OF the new
stuff. There is still lack Of shoes
and every night there is a cry fol
new footwear from the squad.
All the men are rounding into
form in good shape. The grea'
question of finding new backfielt
has vanished into thin air after
week of hard practice.

BEATING KID TIME.
By Bruce Copeland.

l have often heard it asked why
SO many former champions are still
physically fit and practically I'M
marked despite their strenuOusities
of the old days when there were
long bouts in which one of the op-
ponents was almost certain to. be
knocket out. Such old-timers as
Gentleman Jim" Corbett, "Syra-
cuse Tommy" Ryan, Young Cor
bett, Abe Attell. Packey MacFar-
land, the late-Joe Cans and score
Of others stand out as knockers
out with almost unhittable defenses.
Jim Corbett's marvellous feet and
speedy hands saved him from the
terrible punishment that such ter
rife punchers as old Bob Fitz, jim
Jeffries and others subjected 9TH
ers to. Although knocked out sew
eral times, Corbett's head and jaw
could not be hit with enough force
to inflict permanent blemish. To-
day his features are as regular as
they were when he was a boy. Cor
bett makes striking appearance,
tall, 1.-the, clean-cut and looking to
be only IS years old instead OF 81.
Old Bob first rang Corbett's
knell by slipping under his great
head defense and driving home the
old solar plexus blow. Corbett
tried many ways to counterfeit this
wallop in subsequent bouts, but the
spot proved to b his Achilles
heel" 1t was his perfect physical
condition that allowed him to re-
cuperate quickly.
Many old-time champs and near
champs have pointed out the folly
Of taking punch to land one. This
they contend. is all wrong il q box

Terrible punishment told on many
champions. It laid old John L
Sullivan low when he was regarded
invincible. Jim Corbett, John LII
