How Do Those Scribes
Get That Way
In Summer?

A couple of baseball experts
in recent stories said that THE
FANS ARE GETTING TIRED
OF THIS HEAVY HITTING. Is
that so? That's news to US.
Have these experts ever seen
home run made when the crowd
hissed the batter? One might
just as well say that people are
tired of knockouts. or that the
people want to see ten and
twenty round fights go the limit
that they don't want knockouts.
According to these experts,
when Babe Ruth fans five times
out of five times at bat, the
crowd goes daffy with Joy and
rushes home to knock over a
big supper, smiling all the while.
On the other hand, If Babe
Ruth knocked five home runs in
five times at bat they'd go home
disguised.
How do they get that way?

Two Old Ring Rivals
( To Swap Blows
Tomorrow

Mike Gibbons is scheduled TO
meet his old rival, Eddie McGoor-
ty, in a bout at Milwaukee tomor-
row night. Both these noted mid
dleweights have long since seen
their best days in the ring. Glib
bons showed that he was virtually
through when he could not stop an
inexperienced amateur in New
York recently. 1t is several years
since McGoorty was recognized as
a topnotcher. McGoorty is the
man who first handed Gibbons
setback. When the st. Paul ghost
was being hailed as the greatest
boxer the ring has ever seen, Nc
Goorty punctured the bubble by
making a show of Mike in a bout
at Madison Square Garden.

Jersey AWAKENING

Present Considerable Task

ny JACK vEIoCI<.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Juno 16.-With
the announcement today that the
monster arena for the Dempsey-Car-
pentier tight is to be completed early
next week, Jersey City began to wake
sup to the near approach of the biggest
event in her history.
The naming of the referee, too
scheduled to take place here during
the present week was another re-
minder. The New Jersey boxing com
mission was ready to meet Promoter
Rickard and the managers of the rival
!. fighters here this afternoon to decide
definitely on the third man. but Kearns
asked for delay.
JERSEY CITY HAS TASK.
Meanwhile, Jersey City is facing a
big problem of feeding and housing
| thousands of visitors July and 2. and
as she boasts limited hotel facilities,
II is a certainty that many thousands
of tight fans will have to sleep in
Pullman cars or find hotel accommo-
dations in New York, Newark. or
, some of the smaller towns around the
metropolis.
The Jersey City Chamber of Com
merce announced today that 1t will
do everything 1t can to cooperate
with those who will have rooms for
rent during the week of the big fight
Everything at the command of the
city will be done to make the stay
I of visitors as pleasant as possible, for
Jersey City wants to get all of the
advertising she can out of the battle
of the century"
room PROBLEM Is FIERCE
The biggest problem of all will be
how to feed the thousands who will
expect to get at least one meal in
this mans town on July 2. The Cham
Der of Commerce hopes to curb
profteering in food and other neces-
stiles to the visitor. And its a big
job.
Proof that Jersey City is going to
take in the fight herself was found to-
day in the announcement that more
than $4,000 worth of tickets have
been disposed of here by the Chamber
of Commerce alone. At the Willard
Dempsey fight in Toledo patronage
was mostly from out-of-town.

Joe Judge Returns
to His Job of
Hitting

Joe Judge returned to the GriffS
lineup yesterday and took up his
job right where he left it off on
being injured Sunday. The fans
applauded him when he went to
bat in the first frame, Joe being
one of the most popular players
with the Washington ball club.
Up five times, Judge grabbed
himself a pair of singles and
looked as good as ever in the field.

around a training camp. He's pick

table in a joking manner or putting
salt in the trainers coffee He Usually
has a dog or some other animal Cor
a pet and teaches il tricks.
WAS PICNIC FOR JACK.
Training for willard at Toledo was
picnic for Jack. There on the hot
sands of Maumee bay IN the after
noon. he had four little kids perhaps
five years old. One was a little girl
with blonde curls and who was his
particular pet. He was her "teller.
She cut of a curl for the sun-bronZed
Dempsey and he carried ii with him
all the time. He played jealous of her
and she liked IL. Every afternoon
Jack would go down by the water
with his little pals, sing songs and
play kid games. Could anything be
more boyish? ..
When Jack Kearns had extra com
pany at the training table Dempsey
delighted in helping to serve the
guests. That was his dish. What a
difference from other big fellows In
training!
Although quite affable and polite
willard went through his stunts like
| a trained elephant He had his stunt
to do and did ii, seldom speaking tc
any one. He came in alone and left
the ring alone.
JEFFRIEs WAS NO CINCB.

around Jeffs camp. Sometimes M

Jim Corbett was a hard man in a

Fitzsimmons was quite kiddei

The eventual completion of this
project has been largely enhanced by
the recent passage by Congress of the
Phipps road bill alloting federal aid for
road construction pro rated according
to the area of government land con-
tanned in various states. To Nevada
this means that 88.3 per cent of total
cost of construction will be paid by the
government while II per cent will be
furnished by the state, the latter con-
tribution being divided between state
and county.
The naturalization of this con-
struction is of great portent to this sec
ton, inasmuch as it is the fork in the
roads leading to Yosemite and Lake
Tahoe. Thousands of tourists have an
