IN All Fields

An appropriate way for the an
nouncer t O designate the fighters in
Tex Richards Jersey City Labor Day
mhl would be this:
In this corner-Johnny Wilson,
middleweight champion of the world
Excepting Ohio).
And in this corner-Bryan Dow
ney, the man who licked Wilson to
a FRAGILE in Cleveland and the undis-
puted middleweight champion of
Ohio.
Downey has no idea of losing to
Wilson when they meet.
Psychology will play a big part in
this fight-Downey's of a knock
down and wilson's of being knocked
down.
Inconsistency
Chicago's lower berth White SoX
have lone more to keep the Cleve-
land Indians in first place and the
Yankees in second than any other
outfit in the league.
The Sox have spanked the Yanks
twelve times and lost only eight
games to them.
Cleveland tripped the Sox twelve
times and lost only four games to
them.
Washington is the only outfit to
VIII TO 5SiAto 4 oOSH -
and New York.
BasebalIs middle name is incon-
sistency.
The Yankees have the greater
playing strength but the Indians
have it on them all for being a game
ball club.
Day Dreams
Mile. Suzanne Lenglen can't forget
har bro Oio dnfoat of tho hands Of
Mrs. Molla Mallory.
She hinges on the verge of a
nervous breakdown Is the result.
BY day she day dreams it all over
again. By night the losing conflict
with the great American woman is
r~e-enacted in her subconscious
Yet she has but one hope-one
prayer. 1t is to GOV her health
sufficiently to be able to meet the
American woman on the courts
again.
We agree that the highest ten
stoned bit of nervous mechanism is
the French girl-Suzanne.
Rare Birds
Change of scenery sometimes helps
ball players.
There are a couple of instances on
the New York teams which worked
the other way.
The Giants annexed Emil Meusel
from the Phillies where he had been
hammering out home runs, triples,
doubles and bingles with regularity.
He played in a New York uniform
about a month before he broke out
with a four-base lick.
The Yankees pulled in Outfielder
Miller from the minors to help them
slaughter American League pitching.
He has had M slump of being at
betting out a safety.
Meusel and Miller are rare birds.
Long-Len
If France develops a few more
champions and then sends them to
America, most everyone will learn
a smattering of the French language.
Pronunciation of Mile. Suzanne
Lenglen's name Is equally as erratic
as was the enunciation of Carpenter.
BY the time Americans had be-
come accustomed to calling Georges
Car-Pon-Shay he was knocked out
in the fourth round.
Suzanne pronounces her name
Long-Len.
But, like Carpenter, she will be
called most everything else.
In good everyday English, Su-
zanne's name should be Leng-Len,
just like Georges family name is
Karp-En-Ter.
Investments
Tommy Gibbons suggestion that
fighters should take better care of
their hands should be put into every
boxers bible.
Three topnotch ring men are at
present shelved with busted hands.
Benny Leonard cracked his thumb
on the eve of a fight with Lew Tend
Ter.
Georges Carpenter has been
forced to postpone his match with
Gibbons from October until winter.
His injury is costing him probably
500, 900.
Bob Martin broke his knuckle
knocking out Frank Moran. Martin
doesn't draw the big purses, but he
fights often and a layoff is money
out for him.
Gibbons exercises his hands by
m~assaging a rubber ball. His hands
are as well muscled as his shoulders.
Good hands are a fighters best
investment.
