GrOh Sure to Play
With Giants, Word
From Cincy States

CINCINNATI, June 3.-Henie Groh
practiced at the Reds park Thursday and
remained FOR the game, which was the
first championship affair he has witnessed
this season. Heinie IS awaiting word from
Commissioner lands as to his applica-
ton for reinstatement As soon as he Is
reinstated the trade with the Giants win
be completed. The Pittsburgh club has
weighed In with an offer for Groh, in
volving Pitcher Carlson, Infielder Clyde
Barnhart and one other player, but the
Red officials believe that they can do bet
ter by dealing with the Giants.
The catcher to be received IN addi-
ton to a large sum of money Is Mike
Gonzales, formerly Of the Reds, who Is
to be traded to Cleveland for a pitcher
now with Speakers team. Groh signed
up only with the promise that he would
be traded at once, as he does not want
to play here. He said yesterday that he
does not care what club he goes to and
will do his best wherever he is sent, but
that he prefers 20 play elsewhere than
Cincinnati. He will Join the Giants either
at Pittsburgh or when they arrive here
next week.

CAUSES RIPPLE
Giants and Pirates in Fierce
Fight for Pennant Position
in National.
BY HENRY FARRELL,
United Press Sports Editor.

NEW YORK, June 3-Any other time
In any other year the fight now going
on in Pittsburgh would get the sport
page honors.
Two baseball clubs down in Smoke
town are having a Dempsey Carpenter
all of their own. The National League
pennant race may not be decided at
present by the Giant Pirate series, but 1t
will go a fair way in giving an idea of
who's the real who" of these two con-
tenders.
The Giants have been worrying along
right around the top for the first quar-
ter with an aggrayating brand of pitch
ing. McGraws hurlers would look like
million one day and run to the show
ers the next.
George Gibson has been getting high
class pitching all the season. 1t can't get
very much better as a whole McGraw's
pitching can improve 80 per cent and It
is getting better right along. If the
Giants get Heinie Groh from the Cincin-
natl Reds, Ii will just about mean the
pennant. McGraw can give the Cicin-
natl club more than value received for
the star third baseman, without hurting
his own club.
New York officials said today they
were not prepared to make statement
about the big deal. but 1t Is accepted
here as a sure thing that the announce
ments will be made soon as Groh and
Benny Kauf are restored to good stand
ing.
Goldie Rapp, of whom SO much was
expected during the training season, has
proved a bust with the stick. He's a
brilliant fielder, one of the best In the
business, but he's helpless at the plate.

LIKE PLAN FOR
DECISION BODY
Scribes Favor Suggestion to
Have Trio Name Winner
of Title Bout.
(Bx JACK vEIocK.

international News Sports Editor.)
NEW YORK, June 3.-The suggestion
that committee of three permanent box
ing authorities be selected by a con-
vention of newspaper men, to give a de-
ciston in New York on which bets may
be settled In case the Dempsey Carpenter
fight goes the limit and there is doubt
regarding the winner, is gaining favor
Scribes who are congregating in the
East from all sections of the country
are in favor of such plan.
No decision can be rendered in New
Jersey. The only way Georges Carpen.
tier can uncrown Dempsey in the ''skeeter
State" is via the kayo route. Regardless
of the fact that Dempsey is a hot favor
lite to defeat Carpenter by a knockout
inside of twelve rounds, there Is always
the chance that the bout may go the
limit.
Betting on the big fight win be heavy,
regardless of topheavy sentiment in ia
vor Of Dempsey. No fstic battle in his
tory has excited SO much interest, and
ing to hundreds Of thousands Of dollars,
will hang on the outcome.
If a committee is named it Is prac-
tically certain that Eugene CORR, famous
English referee, win be a member Of it.
CORR, it was announced today has &C
cepted Tex Richards invitation to wit
ness the battle July and win arrive
here shortly from Liverpool. Jim Cor
bett is also being mentioned as a mem
Der of the trio.
Receipts for the big fight have now
passed the $3.50, 900 mark, according to
an announcement from Madison Square
Garden. This is $4,000 ahead of all pre-
viOus receipts thus far in advance of a
championship fight

athlete this year may be Altenburgh Of
Western State Normal OF Kalamazoo,

In the dual meet with Notre Dame fresh
men, a better mark than has been made
by any other entrant Altenburgh is also
a sprinter of no mean ability and may

MANHASSET, n. Y, June 3-The
French war board is working out here
every afternoon on battle plans for

Carpenter listens to the plans and then
puts them IN practice out In the gym

ia like TO get look at one Of these
star chamber sessions The Frenehman
Is so obviously under wraps In his pub
lie works that IL is impossible to get

He seems to be ST cializing on a won

Is all for a purpose. He has left and
he'll use IT, even II he win not show it
In his public exhibitions.
Several times in his open bouts" be
has started his famous waltz blow" only
TO stop when he had It going over. II
may be that he wants Dempsey to think
that he Is going to depend only on a
stock attack and viii not try any OF his
fancy stuff.
The Frenchman is razor sharp" now.
he Is in wonderful condition The task
OF ais trainers is to keep him that way.
SO Far as | can observe, ne IS being han
died very wisely. The chances are that
ne will be in superb share when he goes
into the ring with Dempsey.
He does not put all the force and en-
thux1asm in his work that Dempsey does
and he does not run the risk OF burning
himself out as the champion does. He
goes about his work methodicany, almost
lazy-li at times. His rope skipping.
shadow boxing and calisthenics look
rather slow because he does not follow
the American method of going a mile-a-
minute In everything. He gets the most
out OF every movement.
However | believe that he needs bet
ter sparring partners. He could get
more out Of his boxing. Jeanette, Cans
and Journee are too big and slow to give
him the kind Of work he needs.
Carpenter ought to take a little more
from the fast big boys.

DEMPSEY WINS
WAY TO CROWN
IN SHORT TIME
Corbett Tells of Jacks Rapid
Rise and Explains Reasons
for 1t.
TWo-FIsTED BOXER
By JAMES j. CoRBEFT,

D1 OAMEO d NORDGAAs
Former worlds Heavyweight Champion
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June BIN strik-
ing contrast to Georges Carpentiers
long climb up the fistic ladder through
the various divisions from bantam to
heavyweight is the meteOric rise of Cham
piOn Jack Dempsey.
Less than six years ago the preSen
titleholder broke into the records for tha.I
first time He then was twenty years
old. What he did not know about the
boxing game in those days would have
filled many a volume, for he was just
a big, strong, rough and tumble boy
with an idea that he wanted to be
fighter but no knowledge of how to use
his strength and no one to tell him what
to do.
His first year in professional boxing
1915-was filed with disappointments,
for, though he won a number of bouts
with knockouts he was unable to earn a
fair living and often had to ride the.
rods in jumping about the country.
The following year found him little II
any better on and toward the latter part
Of 1916, he became discouraged and de-.
cided to give up the game when he was@
beaten in four rounds by Jack Downey,
g very ordinary fighter.
MEETS KEARNS
AND STARTS UP.
Had it not been for Jack Kearns
Dempsey might have passed out of sight
pugihsttcally. But fate decreed that
Dempsey and Kearns should meet with
the result that within three short years
Kearns piloted his prOtege to the world 5
mpionship.
The last time Dempsey tasted defeat
was in February, 1917, when Fireman
Jim Flynn knocked him out in the first
round OF a bout at Salt Lake City. The
same year Dempsey boxed his much-dis-
cussed battles with Willie Meehan, who
proved a puzzle to the Salt Lake lad. But
Dempsey was learning constantly.
Kearns campaigned him in the four
round game on the Pacific coast and he
won decisions over Charley Miller, Gun
boat Smith, Carl Morris and several
others At this time Dempsey was just
beginning to fill out and he started to
take on weight. As he went along he
kept growing heavier, though he did
not take on poundage as fast as did
Carpenter. He was continually growing
stronger and under the wing of Jack &
Kearns he rapidly picked up the fine
points of the game.
Dempsey may not be wizard at
scientific boxing. He is the rushing, {
