ROY GRIMES NOW
 SHINING WITH GIANTS

With Larry Doyle, veteran second sacker of the Giants, out of the game due to an injury received while sliding into the plate the other day, Roy Grimes, former Hartford and Bridgeport in fielder, has been presented with the op- portunity of showing the stuff he is made of at second base And the work of the 1anky fellow has been highly i'm preSsive. Both as fielder and as bat ter he has been showing up well. In the last game of the Pittsburgh New York series, Grimes was robbed of a triple when Bigbee made a sensational run ming catch of his powerful drive There were two men on the bases at the time. In last Saturdays game against the Braves, Roy was again hit by tough luck. The first time he went to bat he hit the first ball pitched to him by Dick Rudolph to left center. The drive was a terrific one, and the ball trav- eled like shot, but Leslie Mann, after spirited dash, managed to pull it down. What has impressed the New York fans most is the swipe he takes at the ball while batting, which is in- dicative of the fact that he can hit the ball.

WILSON STALLING AGAIN.

The 12-round bout between Johnny Wilson, middleweight champion, and Bryan Downey, of Cleveland, scheduled for Labor Day, was called off at Will sons request. Wilson said that he could not breathe through one of his nostrils, because of an injury received several days ago, and was unable to fight.
 The Italian has been calling them off with a regularity that equals Al Mccoy, who won the title through a fuke a couple of years. ago, and whom Mike O'Dowd trimmed in easy fashion fer the championship in their first meeting.

JACK, THE GIANT
 KILLER, GOING DOWN

Jack Dillon, Indianapolis, was de- feated in a 10-round boxing bout at Cedar Rapids Saturday night by Bud Clancy, Detroit, according to newspa- per men.
 The former giant killer, who was knockin 'em dead a few years ago, IS slipping fast and is but a shadow of what was once the pride of the Hoosier state.
 Horace Ford and Eddie Eavres are going great guns with the Boston Braves. Eddie is a top-notcher in the league batting.
 six-round mixup in which Bill Tate, the elongated sparring partner who has become fixture in the Dempsey train ing camps, employed one of the longest left arms ever seen in squared circle, to make Sam Langford, the Boston negro heavyweight, keep his distance. Tate won by a shade, but not because Langford was not game, for the chunky visitor from the East displayed an al- most inhuman capacity for turning wicked punches by interposing his head as an obstacle.
 Langford, entering the ring at 194, reached almost to the armpit of the giant Tate, whose bulk sent the scales sagging under his 230 pounds of bone and sinew.
 The Greb-Wiggins set-to resulted in draw after whirlwind battle that kept the spectators on their tiptoes. Wiggins employed the Johnny Dundee hop, Kangaroo leap that lifted him over Greb's guard time and again but the blows he landed lacked the punch needed to do any serious damage.

DEMPSEY THERE WITH
 THE OLD HAYMAKER

Jack Dempsey, heavyweight cham pion of the world, demonstrated Labor Day that he still retains the old punch that won him the title. Billy Miske, the challenger, was as big as Jack but didn't have a chance with the cham pion of champions. Three hard smash es won him between $50,O00 and $100,- GOO, as he got 50 per cenr. of the gate receipts.
 At the start of the fight, his first in IA months, Dempsey peeled off the same worn and patched red sweater that he wore when he knocked out Jess Will lard. His face wore the same fighting frown, he danced about the ring with old time light footedness and finished up by taking the fight in the third

JOHNSON AGAIN BREAKS
 INTO RECORD BOOKS

When Walter Johnson of the Sen ators pitched his no-hit game recently 1t was not his first performance to find its way into the record books He a1- ready held five other notable records.
 One of them is a mark for consecu- tive score1ess innings-56-e established from April 10 to May Is, 1913. An other credits him with 16 straight games won in 1912, an American league record that has been equailed only by Joe Wood. That year in winning nine games from one club, the White Sox, Johnson equalled a major league mark that had been set by Ed Reulbach of the Cubs in 1908
 The big Swede's arm is very lame and he will be given a rest for the remainder of the season, according to Clarke Griffith

LIKES HIS FUNG0 BAT

When the Washington team was in New York Sam Rice walked over to the Yankees bench during practice and Eand- ed Roger Peckinpaugh a bat, saying:
 "Peck, do you want bat to hit fungoes with? I tried to fat ten my batting average with it, but hit nothing but air, so you can have it. There wasn't a hit in the whole forest they cut this bat from"
 Peck tried the bat in the game that day and all Ee got was a three-bagger and two doubles.
 He hunted up Rice after the game and asked him if any other Washington player had a ''fungo bat" he'd like to get rid of, but Rice was too sore to answer him.

when Carpenter and Descamps came down to board the boat
 There was a touching scene at the dock when Mrs. Carpenter bade her husband goodby. Mrs. Carpenter is not accompanying the champion on the trip. Carpenters luggage consists of 16 trunks, and large portion of the deck was crowded with flowers sent by admirers of the French champion.
 Carpenter made a speech from the deck of the boat in which he said:
 This time I go to America to fight am to meet Levinsky, worlds light heavyweight champion. Before I return by the best fighter in the world"

THREE FINGERED" KEEFE
 HAS HIGH SIGN ON RUTH

Dave Keefe, the three-fngered pitch -er, who served them up for Hartford four years ago, and now doing expert work on the slab for the Athletics, had Babe Ruth helpless before his shoots in the morning game, Labor Day, with the Yankees. Besides holding the fam ous slugger hitless, Keefe famed the big fellow three of the four times he faced him. For any youngster to whiff Ruth the way Keefe did is justly con- sidered quite a feat. The only other American league pitcher to perform this was Urban Shocker, the spitbal1 pitcher of the St. Louis Browns, who turned the trick while establishing an American league record for strikeouts. In that game Shocker famed IA Yankee bats men. Despite the fact the Yankees scored four runs. The three-hngered one allowed only six hits and struck out seven.

Sport Gbes and Jabs
HERE'S HOW, AND WI4Y!!!

Dempsey, after bath at his camp, just outside the arena, made this state rpent:
 Il told my friends I would win. 1 never had any doubt of 1t. Miske IS tough and 1 trained and fought him with as much caution as 1 would fight any heavyweight He did not hit me hard enough to seriously hurt. The punch that started him on his way was a smash to the stomach i'll the second round. 1 felt my fist sink into his ribs and knew he was hurt. After that 1 was confident l could end it whenever 1 wanted to, but 1 fought carefully and took no chances. The finish came before 1 could get warmed up.'
The Connecticut labor press., 1920-09-11

Miske, sitting in his corner being re- vived after the knockout, made this statement:
 Dempsey is better man than I am. That fellow hits too hard. The punch that foored me in the second round all but caved in my ribs. I never was hit so hard in my life. The blow took all of the steam out of me and I had not recovered from its effects when the third round opened. 1 think Dempsey is unbeatable. There isn't a heavy weight living that can stand up under his punches. 1 fought the best battle I could but was whipped before I really got started"

Eddie Cicotte.

Although the Frenchman has been running behind last seasons record, the White ,Sox players and Manager G1ea- son swear by Cicotte. Eddie has been very cratic this season but is rounding into shape now. He will have consid- erable to say about the American league pennant before the flag faAs.

Manager Iris Speaker is seriously considering the pitching of Joe Wood in the final wind up of the American league pennant race. Wood and Speak CT are great pals and the old smoke king has been trying his arm out, under Speakers watchfu1 eye. Wood has been of great help to Speaker this season.

round, just as he did at Toledo. The third round went one minute, 13 sec onds.
 Miske went down three times in less than two and one-half rounds of fight ing. In the second he measured his length on the floor for the count of five In the third, driven to his corner under a rain of 1efts and rights to the stomach and chin, the challenger took the count of nine, and had just regained his feet when Dempsey, carefully measuring his distance, finished the bout with right hand punch to the chin.

Trains Hold Up Fight.

Delayed special trains held back the fight, and in the confusion of the long wait, Miske, first into the ring, slipped through the crowd, scarcely being mo- ticed. A messenger from the cham pion's camp presentely arrived to in quire whether the challenger was in the ring. This formaltiy of the squared circle over, the messenger hiked back to Dempsey's camp, while Miske waited 10 minutes for the champion, who drew an ovation as he marched through the crowd. Miske's fighting togs bore his initials elaborate1y embr oidered in silk on the left leg. Dempsey had the regu- lar red, white and blue costume.
 Miske was pale, his forehead Wrinkled and his lips pressed tight as he sprang to meet Dempsey with the opening gong. He landed the first blow. Both challenger and champion measured each other with cautious tattoo of 1efts and rights, none of them seeming to punish much. The crowd yelled at Dempsey to speed 1t up and Miske grinned. Dempsey crossed left to the jaw and followed with right to the stomach that fairly boomed with its solid inn pact. Miske backed away and covered up, without showing signs of distress. Dempsey finished the session by feint- ing, with left to Miske's wind and fol- lowing with right to his head.
 First Knockdown.
 The second round opened fast, with the champion trying hard to rock Miske's head with his left. Dempsey found his opponents jaw with a terrific left that snapped Miske's head back and left him dizzy and before he had recov- cred the champion stepped in and bored upward with a right blow that landed just below the heart and sent Miske sprawling on his side, half sitting.
 Despite shouts from his handlers to take all the rest he could, Miske strug- gled up at the count of five and backed away, covering his stomach. Dempsey rushed and Miske slipped in for a clinch, but the champion kept one arm free and landed thfee short arm blows on the chin. Stepping free he swung with his left in a feint, and Miske re- coi1ed before the blow which never landed

Miske Strong For Third.

Miske came tip strong in the third, and fighting desperately with his teeth gritted, he bored in with a rapid ex- change, landing a right to the body, but his speed proved his eventual undoing, for he failed to cover his weakest spot, the body. Dempsey matched speed for speed and the round was stilf young when his swift-traveling left found Miske's stomach again and the challeng- CT went down. At the count of three he was on his knees but plainly suffer- ing from the punishment, and he took the fui1 count of nine before coming up.
 As Miske struggled to his feet, Demp- sey stepped back, carefully measured his distance and bored upward with a right hand swing that landed square dn Miske's chin. The challenger fell like a log, lying partly under the ropes, and with Dempsey standing over him, was counted out i'll his own corner.
 At the count of 10 the victor lifted the vanquished into the chair his sec onds showed into the ring.
 With a whoop, the crowd who had come to SC Jack the Giant Killer" knock his man cold, and had their de- sire satisfied, started to swarm over benches and heads and anything else that stood i'll their path to reach the ring. But they never arrived. A squad of Michigan state constabulary, with Sam Browne belts sagging under the weight of revo1vers and cartridges was there first and cleared path and formed a body guard to escort the vic tor out of the arena.
