Dixie Walker Can Lick
The Man Who Said
He Was Scrappy

When Roy Walker, who is nick
named Dixie" in honor of an
immemorial practice for all Walk
ers who pitch, went to the st.
Louis Cardinals he had repu-
tation for being "a scrapper. One
day Branch Hickey asked him
about it.
Said Branch. "They tell me
you like to fight, Dixie; always
willing to mix it up. The re-
port adds that you have a quick
temper"
Nothing to it," roared Dixie.
'It's not so, and / can lick the
big tramp who told you"

y 10 my Iiiinu SdrpcnQcT framing Byh-
tenn is far superior TO that Of Jack
Dempsey, because he enjoys a certain
amount of privacy that is surely well
come to a fighter OF his temperament.
Dempsey may not mind the daily in

Carpenter is different. He wants
quiet. In my fighting days i was
that way, too, and perhaps. that is
why I sympathize with his views.
WASHING FACE DOESN'T HARM.
I've seen II written that Georges
spend a good part of his training
period getting his face mopped with a
sponge. What's wrong with that!
Why, II some of our fighters washed
their faces oftener II would do no
harm.
They say Georges thinks more of
his pink silk pajamas and his lavender
bath robe than he does about work.
This is certainly uncalled for. No one
criticises Jack Dempsey for wearing
nice clothes. And Jack certainly
wears them To my mind a show of
fastidiousness in a fighter is a credit
TO the game.
Georges has been PANIED because
he has refused to divulge his plans
for the big fight July or uncover his
real ability for the members of the
press. But waitl II is well to remem-
Der that Carpenter Is unaccustomed
to be followed so closely by a corps
of reporters He doesn't savvy II at
all. He figures that he would be
sucker to tell anybody about his
plans or let any one who might carry
tales to the Dempsey camp get the
real low-downN on him. And he Is
right. or at least has a right, to think
that way.

GEORGES FASTEST
Fighter JACK HAS
EVER MET IN RING
Frenchman Has Right HAND
Punch Which Dempsey Is
Bound to Respect.
NJ JACK yEIOCk.'
International News Service sport,nz
Editor.


NEW YORK, June 10-In sizing up
the heavyweight championship battle
at Jersey City July 2 a good many
devotees of boxing who expect to see
II in round or two are overlooking
several points that may tend to pro-
long the night to half dozen rounds
or SO, regardless who wins 1t.
One of the most important of these
Is the fact that Georges Carpenter
takes rank as the cleverest boxer
Dempsey has ever faced; boxer
whose footwork is feature OF his
defsnse, as well as his offense and
fighter who possesses punch In his
right hand that seems bound to COM
mand respect, even from Dempsey,
who will have everything to lose.
NOT LIKELY TO BE FOOLISH.
VIM Dempsey throw caution to
the winds and take unnecessary
chances against such a man? He did
not do II in the second Brennan night,
though he wasn't quite himself. and
there is no reason to believe that he
will do II against Carpenter.
Dempsey has established a reputa-
ton as quick nnisher. All OF MS
important victories have been scored
in from one to three rounds. Yet
among his victims there Is not a sim
gle one with the speed of Georges
Carpenter. ~.
ALL NUMBERING TARGETs.
willard. Fulton. Morris. Miske,
Smith, Brennan. Flynn and lesser
lights who have fallen before the
whiriwind onslaught of the champion
are numbering targets compared to
Carpenter. Willard and Fulton, of
this crowd, alone possess punch that
Is as dangerous as tpat of the French
mans, but neither of them could de-
liver IT with anything resembling the
whip-lash speed with which Georges
shoots IL over from any angle
Will Dempsey prove the same quick
finisher against such an opponent?
There Is no reason for doubling that
he will Carpenters ability to step
about the ring is very liable to give
Dempsey a problem that though he
may solve II, will take time. In short,
he may have to run Carpenter down
to beat him

Says Knocker Is Guy Who Plays Hammer
For Musical instrument
By JOHN p MEDBURY
BY JOHN P. MEDBURY.

Everybody has met a knocker. A
knocker is nothing but an athlete
who throws the hammer with his
mouth.
He uses his lips for knuckles.
And he knocks so much that his
tongue is covered with corns.
He's two-mouthed, but he can't
say a good word out Of either one OF
them.
The average knocker would tell
you that Romeo had a wife and two
children when he was counting JUL
cite.
He likes to knock so well that he
walks in and out of the house all the
time lust so he can slam the door.
He'll borrow two dollars from you
and then tell friend of yours what
a sap you were to lend it to him.
The only musical instrument he
plays is a sledge hammer.
And he's the guy who composed
the anvil chorus.
He loves to 90 into private offices
because most Of them have a sign
on them KNOCK before you come in"
But he usually does his knocking
after he goes out.
It takes a large crew Of workmen
with their tools to tear down the av-
erage house, but this guy can wreck
any home with his hammer.
II he was starving to death and
some restaurant gave him a free
meal, he'd 60 out and knock the
food
He goes into a theater on a pass
and then knocks the show.
He's so interested in the rapping
business that he goes to a "Me-
dunn" every night Just so that he
can hear the spirits knocking.
It doesn't make any difference to
him who they're knocking.
The only good he ever says about
a man is, well, that guys better of
dead anyway"
He's the guy who tried to circu-

Golf Pictures Deceive
You With Their
Smoothness

Just why is it that most Of
the golf pictures you gee show a
player on a smooth, fat, vel
vety green? Such pictures are
a snare and a delusion, gentle
reader, for golfers spend very
little part of. their time on those
smooth, fiat spots.
When golfer spends three
hours on the links, about two
hours and forty-five minutes Of
that time is spent in roadways,
bushes and sand banks.

ONTARIO IS SWEPT BY HEAVY STORMS
Loss Will Total Thousands of Dollars ---Railroad Tracks Under 12
 Feet of Water.

Toronto, July 11.-Estimates today of the damage done by the storm that swept various sections. of Ontario Sunday reached tens of thousands of dollars,
 The torrentia1 rains which in some cases resemb1ed cloudbursts,, fattened whole fields of growing, grain in west ern Ontario and barns, and farm houses stood out like islands on the waters which at some of the lower points flooded the land to a depth of eight feet. No loss of life was re- ported.
 ! In London, Ont, it was reported the low lying land adjoining the Canadian Pacific railway was 12 feet under wa ter. A bolt of lightning swept the press room of the London Free Press setting fire to the building, destroy ing ten tons of paper and melting every roller.
 On the Grand Trunk railway near Pottersourg, 50 feet of track was washed away and a big hole excavat- ed by the rush of water. Heavy damage was done in the vari- ous railway yards. Telephone and telegraph communication throughout the storm area was greatly impaired.

 AT TAMPICO AGAIN
After Leaving Saturday, They Return Unexpected1y-Situa Shows
 But Little Change

Mexico City, July, 11.-(By the As sociated Press)-United States war ships, which on Friday were reported to have withdrawn from Tampico returned to that port yesterday afternoon. Dispatches reaching MeM- co City last night said the Sacramento and Cleveland were again anchored at the mouth of the Panuco river and al- though no explanation was given for their return, it was presumed the ves- se1s withdrawn to the high seas for 24 hours, in order to avoid the technicali- ties of international law and then re- turned to Tampico. When they first arrived at the Panuco river last week it was said their mission was to pro tect North American interests" It is considered not improbable the vessels will continue this .maneuver until the situation clears
 Reports from Tampico state the sit uation remains quiet and that no disc turbances have taken place. Gen. Ar nulfo Gomez, commander of federal troops in that district, arrived there Saturday night after conference with official in this city. After a hasty sur lvey of the situation and an examina- tion of reports he advised the govern ment that reports regarding conditions at Tampico had be exaggerated and that there was no need for alarm. The number of men out of work was
 greatly over estimated, he declared,
 but he gave no definite figures.
