Today come the Chicago White

catching up before the flag. falls.
However, by failing to clean up

Indians. the Griffs missed golden
opportunity to be riding along In

McGraw Has Signals.

* EAKING of fighting, watch
- McGraw in this series. That
~ boy is out for further honOrs
and the chances are he will give
some great signals from the dug
out this year. Last year he was
satisfied to talk in the deaf and
dumb language to his players.
The deaf part of it isn't so
good with some ball players, but
again, some Of them ought to
understand the dumb language
great, as they are said to be
home talent of Dumbbell Uni-
versity.
McGraw is sitting up nights
making his signals. He is going
to have tail lights put on the
umpires, so as there will be no
run-ins and collisions. He also is
going to put a red light and
green one on his arms and will
radio strikes ard balls to his
pitchers.
If the Giants win, one might
say it will be a signal victory for
the McGrawites.

AT OW that Firpo has been flat

- interest in the coming
worlds series than ever has been
before. ] do not attribute all of
the predicted interest to be on
account of a certain Nick Altrock
going to be there to dc his comic

ought to be zippy.
/ am glad that the Firpo-
Dempsey thing is over, as box

athletes sick. For instance, not

accepted by Scott and the other
shortstops treated as world series
possibilities shows how Everett
fails to reach the balls he once
used to eat up. Scott has only
59s chances in 12s games against
6l5 for Maranville in 125 contests.
Bancroft in 81 games has 615
chances. more than Scott in. thirty
eight less games.
1T is only fair to Scott to say
that Higgins frequently has lifted
him for a pinch-hitter, and in games
in which the Yanks were well in
front or considerably behind the
Yank manager has sent in Nc
NaIly,r Johnson, and GaZella to re-
iieEe Scott at short, thus saving
the veteran as much. as possible
in our article on the third base
man, we also called attention to
the manner in which Dugan is
covering up Scott on plays to the
ehortstop's left.
Bancroft was out of the Giant
lineup FOR six weeks with pneu-
AAANI4AAN
since his return TO the game he
has played as strongly rs ever be-
lore. For a while, McGraW had
himsat second base, as he Thought
the shorter throw from that posi-
ton would not put such tax
ON the players strength, but
,Banny. again is playing his
regular position in brilliant style.
&C. So
Bancroft is a player without a
great deal of physical strength, but
g. man with a great reservoir of
nervous energy. Frequently. in the.
past, this energy is all that kept
him going. A player prone to make
eErers during the season, he thriHes
on world series excitement, when
be usually is at his best.
Bancroft, of course, is a far more
dangerous hitter than Scott. Cap.
i'm Dave has hit. .30S against .256
TOR his American League opponent,
and SCOTS hits have lacked the
tifnelinesss of some former seasons.
While Scott's fielding featured
three Red Sox world series. the
classics Of 1915, 1916 and 1918, he
always was sad world series

Bancroft's hitting has not been

been expected of a player with
his batting eye. Dave did his

Honor to Firpo.

%hr AAouUrH 20 FTpO.
A IL the more honor should
~ be accorded Luis Angel
Firpo for not joining in this
senseless clamor. Firpo merely
defends his second, Horatio La
yelie, and asks for another chance
at the title. In defeat, Firpo
looms large like a conqueror.
Some say that had Firpo had
Jimmy DeForest in his corner q
claim of foul would have been
made. Possibly, though Referee
Gallagher could not have enter
tanned it, for a minute. It is up
to the referee to decide such
things on the spot. It is not for
any boxing commissioner to chat
ter about it a couple of days
afterward.
William Muldoon, a champion
wrestler in his day, was trainer
for the renowned John L. Sulli-
van. So far as known he never
fought in the ring. His reputa-
ton for honesty gave him a GER
tain flair when appointed to the
head of the New York boxing
commission, and, barring his hon
esty, he has never shown much
license to hold the job since. His
latest explosion is Indicative.
Jack Dempsey, quite probably,
won the title in one round, vet
there were many to seek his dis
qualification because he left the
ring, forgetting that the referee
at Toledo announced him cham
pion before he crawled through
the ropes.
And today, when he has sue
cessfully defended it against a
strong challenger, there are
others seeking to becloud his
glory.
All of which is not fair, not
by a whole lot.

CHECKED Ties

Z ~ *
JUST before the fall rush of new
y ideas. in ties it may be remarked
there is. every evidence that check ties
are holding their own strongly, in
fabrics to suit every purse from
Spitalfields silk to silk and wool mix
lures. The color combinations are
without number and the sizes Of the
checks are equally numerous. It is
not surprising this should be SO, for
a checked tie is very smart looking
and goes well with almost any color
sch enc. Physical idiosyncrasies
should be taken into consideration in
determining the size of the checks. Al
man with a long, narrow. face can
better afford to wear a large checked
tie than one with a shorter and wider
face.
Remember, as in choosing collar,
the salesman can help in selecting the
tie best suited for you to wear. Plain
black and white, large or very small,
are quite popular, and other popular
combinations recently noted are yell
low gray, brown, and black, and an
other of red, black, and white squares.
Black and white check bow ties, if
the pattern is a small one, are very
smart and need not be reserved for
only formal occasions. They should,
however, be worn against plain
white shirt, with wing collar, of
course, and with a plain white hand
kerchief. e,

Grounds he landed with his

Grant, being an ordinary
human being. didn't like to have
1921 perspiring pounds in his
lap. He pushed him off and
over upon the floor just outside
of the ring.
The guy whose portable type
writer was sent flying, acting
like another ordinary human be-

feet away from there.
In that manner did the cham
pion of the world roll over upon
his side and climb over the lower
strand of rope, taking the re-
mainder of Referee GaIIagher's
count of nine while on one knee.
It's. a fine time of day when
a boxer is disqualified because a
newspaper reporter doesn't like
to have him reposing on his LAP.
Yet, if you would believe the
Duke of Muldoon, Dempsey
would have been disqualified be-
cause Grant Rice pushed him off
his lap and another unknown
lad showed his dog off a portable
typewriter. :"

What were Firpo's seconds in
his corner for?
Why didn't Referee Johnny
Gallagher make some complaint ?
Well pass Firpo's seconds.
They acted as though looking at
their first contest.
But Referee Gallagher was in
that ring to protect both boxers.
He saw everything, yet made
not the slightest protest. Why?
Because he saw no ground, for
one. That's simple.
1t is a referees duty. to de-
clare foul and to disqualify the
guilty boxer. It is not the duty
of some boxing commissioner, sit
