TO use these clubs was considered A
freak indeed. The hard gutta ball
wore out the face of the club rap
idly. A hard substance Qeatner was
tried first was used TO offset the
shock. All of the old.time clubs were
spliced.
About 1900 another change came
about when the rubber -corCed bail
was first used. Socket clubs were
invented and whippy shafts became
fad The new rubber-corjed halls
did not have any effect on the face
of the club. but shortly afterward

GOES
OUT To TRY HIS
HAND IN RING
Greb and Meehan in Prospect
for Handicap Matches Now
That Wills Is Signed.
by DAVIS j. WALSH.

NEW YORK. July 3.-Having
given sufficient evidence OF good
faith in his verbal agreement 10
meet Harry Wills in the remote fu-
ture. Jack Dempsey can now pro.
ceed with the business OF pushing a
few of the boys on the chest for the
honor and glory of the box fighting
profession and the gate receipts.
The good word was bruited about
today that Dempsey virtually has
signed TO take on Harry Greb in
Pittsburgh July II and Willie Nee.
han in Philadelphia at some imme-
date date, at present undetermined.
Both are Of the "ha ndicap" type OF
match so abortive TO the tast" Of

mission that il recently requested

lenge much after the manner of III"
gendemarie requesting the hour.
geoise TO move on quietly.
Handicap matches are quite all
right now, however. William Mui-
doom. chairman OF the commission,
has stated that. In his opinion,
Dempsey would be justified in tax.
ing on some conditioning matches
before meeting Wills. and in reply,
Dempsey would be pleased to say
that this is a fine idea.
The condition OF his bank account
is certain TO benefit.
Matches OF this kind, which would
stand up in popular regard only
when held prior TO the Willard
Dempsey affair, are what the cham
pion and his plausible manager
have been shooting at these many
months. A Greb.Dempsey bout
would he a money maker, because
a lot of hard boiled citizens figure
Dempsey would not he able to cor
ner the eccentric Greb in limited
round engagement.
Nothing, meantime, would happen
to Dempsey aside from the matter
of some ruffled dignity. since Greb
hits too fast and too often TO hit
hard.
Mcchan Is another matter. This
fistic Arbuckle has seen his best
days. If he ever had any. Yet In
three separate four.round bouts he
not only kept his jaws out of range
OF Dempsey's punches, but earned
the popular decision on points In two
OF them.
Because Meehan was never such a
much against mediocre opposition
his performances with the champion
have long remained one of fistiana s
many mysteries. Willie's style, like
Grebs. is very eccentric. and this
was taken az the answer TO Demp'
sey's failure against the fat man.
However. IL the men are matched
again, il probably will be over the
eight round route in Philadelphia
and that is about twice as far as
Willie cares to go against Demp'
sey.
One thing may he said in favor
Of the proposed matches. They will
not be ballyhooed seriously as a
legitimate attempt by some ex.piano
mover to dethrone the champion
They are frankly handicap matches
in which Dempsey's opponents, par
ticularly Greb. have a white mans
chance of outpointing the heavy
weight king. And since the public
wishes TO see Dempsey in action in
n legitimate match before he meets
Wills, we can think OF no better
propositions than those outlined
above.

Just One Drawback In
Wonderful Dream
In Mound CITY

The oldest inhabitants of
Missouri cannot recall a time
when the St. Louis Browns
have been perched at the top
of the American League race
for so long a period as their
present sojourn. Excitement
runs high. To say they expect
to win the pennant is putting
it mildly. They seem positive
about it. Worlds series plans
are already taking form. They
figure that the Browns will
play the Giants in the big Octo-
Der classic. 1t is practically all
over. The only thing left to
do is to win the pennant. The
only drawback to the St. Louis
plan is that the October stand
ing isn't based on where the
clubs stand on July 4.

Tennis In No Danger
From Gate" At
Big Matches

While much discussion has
been aroused by the increased
size of the "gate" in tennis,
the great expense involved in
Davis cup competition neces-
states a commensurate finan-
cial return. Tennis has be-
come such an important game
that the generosity of indi-
vidual sportsmen or voluntary
contributions can no longer be
expected to finance trips half
way around the world.
There is no danger of pro-
fessional corruption in the game
by legitimate receipts from
tournament play. Commercial
ism creeps in only when a game
becomes a business proposition.
The trip of the Australian team
this year will depend on the
gate receipts of its matches for
expenses. Other countries have
defaulted because of the great
expense involved.

when he was weakest in the spot he

then picked up Robertson and had
four outfielders he could shoot into

also means that In the absence Of
