hay son was sowing his wild oats;
He had a gOOd-Sized crop.
/ said, "NOw this will never do,
Twill surely have to stop.
Each day, in every way" 1 said,
my son Is growing mild;
He does not roam tho street at
night,
Each day he grows less Wild"
1 soon began to notice that
My son had ceased to roam;
He spent his evenings whistling In
The cellar Of his home.
His friends began to visit him.
1t filled my heart with Joy
To think the Gone theory
Had thus transformed my boy.
1 wish this story might end here,
But this I, too, must tell;
My son had grown O little mild
And built q little still!

at the Skokie Country Club in the
play for the Illinois State open sin:
giles title.
The brilliant play of the Spaniard
thrilled a crowd Of $500, and it was
mainly through his doggedness and
determination that he forced the
world titleholder to accept defeat.
Tilden seemed to lack the condition
necessary for a grueling match.
With but one point needed to
clinch the match. Alonzo's serve
was ruled to have cleared the net.
whereas Tilden thought it had let .
The winner refused to accept the
point and Tilden then deliberately
returned the next serve into the gal

on the part of both won the com

PERFECTS
DEFENSE IN
SECRET
Argentinian and Willard to
Wind Up Strenuous
Work Today.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Luis Angel
Firpo is having secret work outs.
The giant Argentinian. who col
lides Thursday night with Jess
Willard in the bout that will lead
to match with Jack Dempsey, is
perfecting a defense in private ses-
sions with Jimmy DeForest.
His canny trainer, who prepared
Dempsey for the Willard bout, is
teaching his charge to shorten his
punches and to direct his attack
at the body instead Of the jaw.
Firpo is in good condition and
weighs PA pounds.
Both Willard and Firpo will wind
up their strenuous work today and
devote the remaining time before
the bout to the tapering off process.
He is down to 238 pounds.
He may box few rounds tomor-
row, but his schedule Wednesday
will be only light exercise.

matches were played over the Cabin

Bannockburn is now leading in the

reason for discussing the others.
Clark Griffith simply must get
new pitching staff.
1--WE Have No Bananas"
TUST as we informed an inquir-
ing friend who asked over the
- telephone "Why don't you say
something about the Gibbons
showing? You picked Dempsey to
knock him out, didn't you ?" we
here and now say, eyes, we have
no bananas"
We are among that vast army
who honestly believed Dempsey
would stop Gibbons before the
ninth round.
We are among the multitude
who now know that Gibbons
headwork and footwcrk enabled
him to stay fifteen rounds.
And yet-now get this-we
still believe Dempsey a far better
man at his trade than the St.
Paul citizen. We still believe that
Dempsey. was bothered more by
the straight rules than was
Gibbons.
Clean breaks, required in New
York or New Jersey, would have
stopped Gibbons from clinching as
frequently as he did at Shelby.
On the whole, while the champion
disappointed us greatly,-and we
admit tive still think Gibbons
fortunate to have weathered
fifteen rounds.
Yes, and don't forget this, we
still believe Dempsey a better man
than any of those named as his
possible rivals-Wills, Willard,
Firpo, or Gibbons for a second
bout.
We are ready to be shown.

Take the Yankees, for in
stance. Their veteran hurting
corps is about ready to be scram-
bled. This goes for every one of
the first five men, all of whom
have been pitching for years and
years.
Everett Scott is rapidly ap-
preaching the end of his string.
So is Wally Schang.
Remove Schang, Scott and
three veteran twirlers from the
Yankees and dope it out for your
self.
The Giants, like the Yankees,
have veteran hurting staff that
is showing the signs of wear.
Heinie Groh's knee is troubling
him so much that he is consider
ing retirement. Dave Bancroft is
even now suffering from a break
down caused by lack of physique
to endure the strain! Irish Meu-
sci is another veteran who has
seen his best days.
In other words, though New
York may wave the major league
pennants again this year, it is
anything but a certainty that
they will have even one in 1924.

The Yanks. as the curtain falls

of that. Miller Huggins' boys have

and have gone off on a winning

In the National loop New York
isn't sitting so pretty. From the
