INDIANS YANKEES
BATTLING ATTRACTS

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The most
crucial series of the season opens to-
day in the American League--if any
thing could be more crucial than days
which already have passed over the
head of this tempestuous season.
Cleveland. again leading the league.
is booked to meet the Yankees, now
in second place in series of three
games. starting today in Cleveland.
Last time the Yankees and Indians
fought in Cleveland. the New Workers.
fattened their standing by taking
four games in a row.
Twenty-four games are left on the
schedule of the Indians, while only
nineteen remain for the Yankees to
finish. Chicago, which is in third
place by hair, has twenty left on
the books. To win a pennant the
Yanks must not only take the ma
jority of the series in Cleveland, ac-
cording to close calculation. but also
must win nearly every game they
have remaining, for Cleveland is GER
tain to do nearly that well.
The White Sox will face the Red
SoX today in a new series. 1t was
in Boston that the champions were
knocked off the top or the league.
The Giants and Dodgers frightened
up the National League embrogIio
when both won yesterday. The
Giants shared a doubleheader and the
Dodgers took single game. The
Reds, leading. the league were idle.
Today the Cubs will be entertained
at the Polo Grounds by the Giants;
the Cardinals are visitors in Brook
lyn and the Reds open in Boston.

Oh a m p Present
Champ Argument
Again.

Mike Donaldson insists on stir
ring up yesterdays soup. Mike is
an oldtime middleweight who
trained Stanley Ketchel for some OF
his fights and thinks that Ketch
could have slapped Dempsey for a
row OF municipal piers.
Biting into last weeks bread is
tough on the teeth, but Mike likes
TO chirp about the old-timers. He
was some mixer himself, having
carried the Irish Republic flag over
the top with the Sixth ninth and
grading off the Croix de Battle and
a few other decorations. Mike lives
in Hayerstraw when he's home,
which amt often.
III anybody's got any opinions on
the relative socking qualities of
Dempsey and Ketch, we will be
glad TO get 'em and send 'em along
to Mike, who seems to think that
Dempsey would have only been the
oysters at one of KetcheI's slugging
banqnets.
FISTS, FEATHERS AND HAIR
WOULD HAVE FILLED THE AIR
If both boys had been contempo-
rary. there ain't much doubt that
there would have been a lot OF fists.
feathers and hair flying around the
ring. But the weight that Ketchel
would have had to concede TO Demp-
sey would have been a big handi-
cap.
Ketch had a terrific sock as h,
sailed in with both elbows back
firing, but Dempsey showed some
thing better when he knocked Will
lard bobbing-for-apples, at their
Halloween party in Toledo. There
amt many fighters who would have
liked to meet either Dempsey or
Ketchel on a dark road in Arizona,
where the police stations are nifty
miles apart and the cops won't
break up a pinochle game for less
than alarms.
WHAT WOULD THE CHAMP
BE DOING MEANWHILE.
1t is the consensus of Donaldson's
opinion that Ketch's inslapping
would wear away Dempsey as the
constant dripping of water wears
away a rock -and.rye. But what
would Demsey be doing while ketch
was knocking at the door? HI
wouldn't be in there trying to sew

When news OF this leaked out

heir heads and declared that such a
tate OF affairs boded no particular
sood for the Dempsey cause, especial
v breaking as IL did almost on the
we of the encounter.
Dempsey. ii appears, scented some
ort OF a plot to rob him of his title.
which is decidedly far fetched, but
ie sprung II just the same and
aarted to yell with considerable vim
rhen he got well worked into his
ubject.
Here are the features OF the case
- Dempsey put them over during a
ate meeting of those directly con-
erned on Saturday night:
OUTLINE OF THE PLOT.
That there was a plot hatched up
n Detroit to bet a lot of money on
diske.
That a referee was to be put In
here who was to be in with the plans
md that the first time Miske got hit
n the midsection he was to drop
town and roll on the floor, claiming
foul at once.
The referee then was to declare
diske winner on foul. This referee
vas to be a Detroit man. The gam
bout the title part of it. All they
wanted was to make sure that their
,ets were of the sure thing sort and
hat there would be no mistake
uade by anybody in the plot.
Dempsey was given some informa-
ion of this alleged plot and at once
,ecame suspicious He and Kearns
discussed the matter and IT appears
nat Kearns had led him to believe
a l.. Innl q h
rty had been agreed upon as ref
ree, but that the name was to be
teld off until the last minute for GER
ain purposes OF publicity and policy.
DEMPSEY BLOWS UP.
Then when Dempsey learned upon
he arrival of Tom Bigger. chairman
" the State athletic committee, that
sigger would not stand for any
.eferees outside of the State and not
IN his list of licensed men the storm
sroke, and then it was that Dempsey
charged Kearns with bad faith in the

He became wildly. alarmed when
