MILWAUKEE, WILL HAVE

Hopes Of being represented in the
National Association of Professional
Football Clubs have at last been
realized by Milwaukee.
That city will have team to be
managed by Joe Plunkett and J. Nc,
Gurk, of Chicago, who last year had
the Morris Supremes. one of the
fastest teams in the midwest.
Plunkett and McGurk have leased
Athletic Park in Milwaukee. and
promise that they will have an
eleven Of big league caliber. ,
: The Milwaukee team will play
most of its games at home, jour.
neying abroad now and then for a
tilt with some top-notch rival. Dates
have been tentatively arranged with
some Of the leading elevens In the
Midwest. The'list Of these teams in.

ANzACS To TRY
NEXT YEAR FOR
TENNIS TROPHY
Australians First to Serv,
Notice of Determin alton
For 1923.

The Australian players are the
first to serve notice that they are
coming back to try for the Davis
Cup again next year. In the. face
of the high standard which the
tennis players here have reached the
invaders shows a commendable per.
sistency in their decision.
In another year the financial con.
dition of the foreign tennis associt-
tions will be stronger, and there
will be fewer defaults inJ the inter.
national competition than during the
present season.. 1t is not likely
that Japan and England will default
next season.
While several Of the foreign
countries are advocating a change
in the conditions of the Davis Cup
play in order to facilitate tho
geographical hardships to which
the teams are subjected, the United
States Lawn Tennis Association
does not feel disposed to change
conditions at this time.
Changes during the next year IN
the international federation which
would permit this country joining
the international body might make
a change possible.

Forcing the Issue.

THERE were other forces at
work, however, that inter-
fered with this stand-pat pol
icy. A new outdoor boxing club,
well organized, took in a former
deputy boxing commissioner as
matchmaker, signed Wills to an
agreement to box for a certain
percentage and opened up on
Dempsey with powerful publicity.
The commission was also severely
criticized for failure to either
force" Dempsey into the match
or to declare his title vacated in
this State and compel him to do
his fighting elsewhere. &c..
II was then that the champion
began to weaken. He resented
the charges that he feared to risk
his title against Wills and finally
determined to call the bluff.
Dempsey's part In the Labor
Day show at Floyd Fitzsimmons'
arena at Michigan City was cut
to q mere sparring exhibition.
The champion and his manager
left for New York the next day,
first giving out a statement that
they were returning to call the
Wills bluff and expressing a will
ingness to meet the challenger

HOmers Are n Cinch.

THAT a lively ball is in use is
evidenced by the epidemic.
There are no STRONGER hitters
in baseball today than there were
years ago, if as strong. but with
the "short' stands and fences and
the rabbit" any Joe Magee can
hit homers nowadays.
Ballplayers point out that the
combination is an injustice to the
pitcher. No matter how well he
pitches. unless his teammates roll
up bic score behind him he is
constantly in dancer. Ie nav be
going into the ninth innino pitch
inn perfect ball, allowing tie on
position onlv a connln of hts.
when a little lift into the "sho~+"
stands by some fellow. who ordi-
narily wouldn't scratch out that
sort of hit in six years, may
spoil his game.
Under present conditionc, a
pitcher can never ease no. He
must be constantly on his toes.
and some PLAYERS attribute the
early deterioration of many WITH
ers nowadays to this fact. Eve~v
innin" is on inniro. Of hard work
for the n'tcher. He is constantly
under a strain.
The Washington times., 1922-09-13

In pSobably ninety-nine cases
cut of a hundred these blows on
an open field would be caught by
the outfielder. A drive into the
right-field bleachers is fair
enough homer, and so is drive
into the left-field bleachcrs, or
over the felt-field wall, but only
blow that clears the right-field
stand should go for four-bag-
ger, in the opinion of ballplayers.
Most of them think it would be
fair to limit these punches to two
bases. They believe that the av-
erage right fielder would be able
to hold anything but a phenome-
nal lick over his head to a two
bagger.
Of course, the "rabbit" ball
they are using in th., big leagues
nowadays is RESPONSIBLE for the
amazing "carry" to tho drives, but
the "short" stands and fences also
feed the epidemic.

Gilhooley May Stay

hitch has developed, it was
learned today, in the deal to
sell Frank Gilhooley, Reading
Internationals, to the New York
Giants, or. the, Yanks.
Gilhooley is satisfied to stay
here, and followers of the game
point out that his sale would in
jure the team next year as well
as lessen public support. The
team has made money this year,
but will need it next year.
The Washington times., 1922-09-13

The public" demand for the
match moved the State boxing COM
mission to activity, but as no pro-
moters appeared with bona fidc
bids, Dempsey went about his busj-
ness of exhibition touring and
finally made a match with Bill
Brennan. For this he was criti-
cized severely by the same persons
who approved the matching of
Wills with two of the most notable
"set-ups" that could be found.
The boxing commission had not
proceeded far with the harassing
Of Dempsey before there was
waited down. from the "hill' at
Albany a gentle hint to pickle"
the match until after the fall
elections by devious ways calcu-
lated to appease the colored
brother without actually banning
the bout officially.

Dempsey Takes the Slap"

~ EMPSEY and his manager,
ID Jack Kearns, learned by
~ underground wire that the
price of remaining in the good
graces of the powers that be con-
sisted of laying low" while the
controversy ragged. In other words,
Dempsey was to take the SLAP"
knowing all the time that there
would be no fight this fall.
Before these developments oc-
Cured Kearns had signed an
agreement for Dempsey to meet
Wills-a concession rarely granted
by a heavyweight champion to a
challenger. The promoters did not
step forward, but Wills profited
Immediately by the publicity.
In the meanwhile the august
commission solemnly forbade a
Dempsey Brennan match, and even
compelled the champion to box his
exhibitions with sparring partners
ito a decision" in New York State.
This attitude further belittled
Dempsey, and the commission,
having placed on him the onus for
the halting of the Wills negotia.
tions, settled back smugly and
awaited developments.

Promoter Throws Up Hands

Promoter Throws Up Hands.
TTERE was a pretty kettle Of
fish for the New York Box
AA ing Commission. 1t would
never do for Dempsey to thus as
sert himself here with a promo
ter trying to sign him for an
October fight.
Consequently when Dempsey
and Kearns stepped off the train
next day they were greeted by an
overnight ruling by the chairman
of the commission in which he i'm
posed conditions that obviously
could not be met. The promoters
rallied after the first shock, made
a last effort to have these condi-
tions modified, and then acknowl-
edged defeat.
The fight is definitely off until
next summer and By that time
there may be a new administra-
ton and q new commission. Demp-
sey is to be congratulated for re-
fusing to be made the "goat."
In view of all these things, II
would be interesting to know
whether the champion and his
manager discussed the boxing sit
uation to any extent at Syracuse,
when they were. guests of the
State fair managers and hob
nobbed briefly with Governor Mil
Ter. Perhaps if they did they gave
the governor some interesting in
formation about the conduct Of
boxing in this State.
Dempsey has never been the
recipient of any favors from the
present boxing commission. His
bout with Bill Brennan was fought
under another administration, and
since then he has spent mere
money in New York than he has
made.

Ruth Hit on SGuare.

TN the days when Babe Ruth
was making his big record, he
was hitting most of his
homers on the square. The ball
was no livelier than in other
years, and it was the punch of
the powerful Babe that drove it
for more home runs than any
other man in the history of base
ball had ever been able to make.
The sensation caused by Ruth's
phenomenal record, and his pow
ers as a drawing attraction,
made the other baseball magnates
envious. They tried to manufac-
ture new Ruths by the expedient
Of nutting in the lively ball. Over
night a new crop Of home run
hitters bloomed.
Perhaps some Of them would
have hit lot Of home runs in
any event. Ruth produced a
change in the batting style of
many men. Where they used to
try merely for safe hits, a lot of
them now began taking long,
powerful swings calculated to
produce the homers.
Rut we do not believe that
without the lively ball there
would have been any such num-
ber of home runs rs the past

now being groomed to tackle the
Yankees and stand. them on their
collective heads. That will leave
the one remaining game to be
pitched by Wright, Van Glider,
Dixie Davis Or even Shocker, pitch
ing with one days rest.
While Lee Fohl will hardly take
any chances against the Red Sox,
knowing what so frequently hap
pens in such cases, nevertheless,
his main attack is planned to upset
the Yankees wffen they alight in
St. Louis Saturday morning for a
three-day stay.
The Yankees are facing stiff op-
position right off the reel. The
White Sox, keyed up and driven
hard by Kid Gleason. will not quit
till beaten.
Then will come the little world
series in st. Louis, each game sure
to be a sizZler well-worth seeing.
Without rest, the Yanks will then
be tossed to the Tigers at Detroit
the one team in the league this
season which has been able to
hammer the Yankees as they saw
fit. The Tigers have won eleven
out Of nineteen games played with
the Yankees. So have the Red Sox,
strange to say, but the Tigers
wins have been far more specta-
cuiar.
St. Louis baseball writers be.
lieve that the pennant-winner Of
1929 will be determined i'm the
|, three-game series opening on Sat.
urday. They think that one
team or the other will then and
there face its master.
For the crucial contests Miller
Higgins will have Joe Bush. Bob
Shawkey and a choice among Carl
Mays, Sam Jones and Waite Hoyt
for mound duty.
Before the games are played, we
would say that there is small
odds either way. Joe Bush and
Urban Shocker are a stand-off.
Shawkey shapes up better than
that the kid southpaw has had
the Yanks on his staff all season.
His feat of tanning Babe Ruth.
for instance nine times out Of the
twelve Ruth has faced him, is
easily a record for the season.
II Elan Van Glider can pitch
against the Yanks as, ne has been
doing lately. particularly against
the Tigers, he may. have a slight
edge over Mays, Jones or Hoyt, his
probable rival The Brownie is
big and fast and, when having a
good day, his team usually whales
the daylights out of the ball be-
hind him.
Washington fans, done for the
season, will probably pay more at
tention to the work of the Yanks
and Browns than they will to the
Griffs. This is natural The
Griffs are merely. playing out the
schedule.
II Lefty Yarmouth. the Little
Rock pitcher, is on hand today at
Cleveland. he may be sent against
the Indians. II he isn't, it will
make little difference, save to
stress the fact that of all the
clubs in this league Washington
alone has no rockies reporting for
trials against major league foes.
