 Wheeler Deserves Promotion
 Floyd Wheeler, who has been re- called by the Pirates. turned out to
 be one of the most effective pitchers
 in the league since joining the Bar ons.
 Floyd has won 12 and lost games

 pie of his defeats were close affairs, in which Wheeler allowed the 1ppo- sition mighty few hits. Wheeler has perhaps allowed less
 hits per game than any other South ern league pitcher this season. He has allowed the minimum. and runs made off him have been mighty Few.

Minor Bouts Preliminary to the
Big Bout Were Opened at

e. o. s., Ringside, Jersey City,
July "A carnival of blows for
which several thousand spectators
had gathered about a little ring in
the big arena opened at 1880 with
preliminary bouts which served as
cocktails of the feat-the battle be-
tween Jack Dempsey and Georges
Carpenter for the heavyweight
championship of the world.
The first bout was between Mickey
belmont and Jackey Curtin.
An announcement was made at
11:35 that the main bout would go
on at O'Clock rain or shine.
The gates to the big fight opened
at 9:45 and in popped the crowd.
Through the entrances on each side
the big wooden octagon poured the
men and women who today were to
witness Jack Dempsey of America
and Georges Carpenter OF France
do battle for the championship of
the world and the plumpest purse in
the history of prize fighters.
Soon the saucer Of yellow pine
which when the sun struck it sent
out glistening rays like giant bowl
of brass was lecked with humanity.
But while a real saucer filled from
the brim down rather than from the
bottom up.
Gradually however the wave of
humanity rolled down to the ring
side as the more plutocratic ticket
holders reached the stadium. The
early corners sat down to wait. They
found just three things to do-de-
bate weather prospects which in the
morning appeared dubious; admire
the worlds greatest arena in which
10000 could nestle cozi1y and specu-

Mr.. Harding has been told that soon
