II sink in.
- What about Stanley
Ketchel?" demanded Lyons.
"A great fighter. "He fought
for me. A real great fighter.
But am naming the three great
est, and l can't get him in my
list. I've seen 'em all for many
years back and Attell, Cans and
Fitz stand out with me.
"Attell and Cans were some
thing alike in that they were at
once great boxers and great
fighters. They were clever, and
they could hit. Attell never
weighed much more than the
present day bantams, but he
fought lightweights. Old Fitz was
a tremendous hitter. He may not
have been a great boxer, but I've
never seen one that could hit like
him.
"Attell, Cans and Fitzsimmons
the greatest trio of modern
times in the boxing game" con-
cluded Jim. That's my say.
The rest of you may say what
you like"

piled Jack promptly. "I've always
contended that Attell and Cans
stood alone as fighter-boxers. But
of course I've got to put Jack
Dempsey in as my main choice.
He's the greatest fighter l ever
saw.
"I've often heard discussions as
to how Dempsey would compare
with the heavyweights who have
gone before him." continued Jack.
"I've heard many persons say they
think Jack johnson would have
given him the most trouble. l do
not agree with that view at all.
"In the first place." the manager
Of the heavyweight champion went
on, "Johnson was strictly a de-
fensive fighter, and not a good
puncher. He depended on wearing
the other fellow down to win his
battles. He might have kept Demp-
sey away for a time with his arms,
but once Jack got inside, johnson
would have had nothing with which
to stop him, and Dempsey's body
punches would have quickly cut
johnson down.

SST'VE never before expressed

believe the chap who would have
given Dempsey the greatest battle
was Fitzsimmons.
"As Coffroth says, Fitz was a
tremendous puncher, and his
chance with Dempsey would have
been even when they started trad

tion of which connected first.
"Fitz could take a good sock

Dempsey, Fitz generally dropped
any man he nailed first. 1t would
have been a great slugging match,
and as ! say, the outcome would
have depended on which got
home the old wallop first.
"My three greatest are Attell,
Cans and Dempsey" said Kearns.
What do you say, Charley"
asked Coffroth, turning to the
famous importer.
"Well," replied Charles, tweak-

Stengel got his chance when Ralph
SINNERS. a promising looking kid,
was disabled early In the season as
the result of being hit by q pitched
ball thrown by George Smith Of the
Phillies. and after Cunningham went
into q batting slump when the
Giants lost three straight games to
the tail-end Bostons.
In an effort to brake the slump,
McGraw sent Stengel to center field.
Casey" got three hits in his first
day as a regular. and two the next.
For a spell in May the veteran was
hitting close to .450. but naturally
that was above his head and he could
not keep it up.
Stengel still Is hitting .351, which
IN better than anything he ever
showed with Brooklyn, when sup
posedly he was In his prime. But
oddly enough, Stengei not only has
come back as q batsman, but also
as q fielder. His legs, which ap-
parently had gone back on him In
Philadelphia early last season, have
regained their youthful spryness
and Stengel's fielding has been as
useful to the Giants as his batting.
At thirty.One Stegel has had his
banner season
He is the only player among the
world series center field possibilities
who has had a world series expert
ence, and not very much at that.
Stengel led the Brooklyn team at the
bat in the 1916 world series with an

against the Boston right-handers. as
Jimmy Johnston took his place In
the games In which Ruth and Leon
ard pitched for the Red Sex. During
the 1921 Giant.Yankee series,
Casey" confined his energies to yell
ing words of encouragement to the
New York Nationals from McGraw's
bench.
Bill Cunningham, who plays center
field for New York against south
paws, is one of the sweetest young
fielders in the major leagues, and his
1854 batting average speaks well for
his hardness with the mace. How
ever, as the Yankees have a regular
pitching staff made up entirely of
ht-handers, and st. Louis has only
two second-string left-handers-
Bayne and Pruett-Cunningham Is
unlikely to get into many world
series games.
Whitley" Witt was a lucky pick
up for the Yankees. 1t might be
said in passing that New York picked
up this player mighty cheap, accord
ing to the present prices for 800 hit
ters. Witt is the best bunter In
baseball today, and the fastest man
going to first base.
He has fit very nicely into the
Yankee machine. and as he has the
faculty of getting on, the big slug.
gers behind him have sent Whitley"
home with many runs. Despite his
speed, Witt has stolen very lew
bases. The reason for that is that
Ruth bats third, and there always Is

him home with a circuit clout.

The PARIS MODES
Crepe de Chine Favored by
Prominent Dressmaker.
6eorgette Crepe Is Close Rival for
Dressy Afternoon Wear-Sheer
Fabric Latest Novelty.

White crepe de chine dresses are
often bound at the neck, edge of
sleeves and the bottom Of the skirt
with bands Of white velvet ribbon.
In addition to the large motifs of lace
one prominent Paris dressmaker is
also using very narrow black lace in
sertfon In the form Of motifs on white
crepe de chine dresses. She makes
tiny rosettes, also of self-materials,
which are appliqued in bands to form
trimmings.
This maker continues to use the cir
cular cut in many of her skirts. She
has not deviated from this idea in
spite of the fact that many Paris
dressmakers have gone back to
straight styles.
No one style of sleeve characterizes
her line. Many of her evening dresses
are entirely sleeveless, while day
dresses often have short, tight-fitting,
set-in sleeves; still other models have
large flowing bell sleeves.
AS a new afternoon material she
has gone back t. the old-fashioned
black alpaca, Of which she makes
many tailored two-piece and three
piece suits. She also emphasizes the
three and two-piece crepe de chine
tailored suit.
One of the new points Is a puffed
collar which one sees on both dresses
and suits. These puffed collars are

HENS NEED ANIMAL PROTEIN
Fowl Must Have Meat of Some Kind
to Produce Eggs, No Matter How
Much Vegetable Given.

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Those who have not learned by ex-
perience are apt to conclude, using the
'pigs is pigs" reasoning, that protein
is protein whether it grows inside
hide or upon q plant. But not all
proteins are alike and they do not
produce like results when taken into
the hens body. In a general way,
animal proteins and vegetable proteins
are alike in that both are nitrogen
GUS, but when the hen begins to make
them into eggs she finds there are i'm
portant differences that cannot be
overcome. But she must have animal
proteins in some amount, no matter
how much of the other kind Is avail
able. High vegetable-proteinf feeds can
replace some of the meat feed to ad-
vantage. but not more than One-fourth
to one-half of it.
Tests made by the United States
Department of Agriculture show that
of the high vegetable-protein feeds
cottonseed meal is the best for egg
production. Peanutmeal comes next,
followed by soy-bean meal and velvet
bean meal. In making up mash not
more than one-tenth Of it should be cot
tonseed meal, as the use o. more cuts
down the egg yield materially and
may affect the quality Of the eggs, pro-
ducing spots and blotches on the yolks
which make them look bad. Other
vegetable-protein feeds that may be
used to advantage are gluten and lin
seed meal.
