DEMPSEY-GIBBONS BOUT SAVED, AS TT SEEMS ON THE VERGE OF FALLING
Second lnStaIIment Of S1O0,- 900 Is Paid kearns, And Shelby Goes On Planning For The Big Bout

GREAT FALLS, Mont, June 16.- (By Associated Press.) - The Jack Dempsey Tom Gibbons heavyweight championship fight, sagging at the knees and ready to collapse, was showed back on it's feet tonight with new executives in charge and Jack Kearns, manager of the heavyweight champion happy with the receipt of a $100,000 draft. The draft was the second installment due Dempsey on his $300,O00 guarantee.
 The fight will be staged as sched- uled at Shelby, Mont, cow-town, be- fore sundown in the west on Fourth of July afternoon.

Kearns accepted the money with offers in his pocket to take the matches, but he declared he wanted to go through with the fight at Shelby at any cost
 Kearns had received an offer from Tom ORourlle, matchmaker of the Polo Grounds Athletic club in New York; from Tex Riekard. and from promoters in Uniontown, Pa. who, he said. with d smile wanted the hght ta be staged in connection with the speedway automobile races scheduled there.

TRIS SPEAKER IS FIRST OF THE OLD GUARD TO SLIDE
Veteran Cleveland Star Has Fallen Below 300 Mark
 In Batting

Iris Speaker of Cleveland seems to be the first among the old guard to drop out of the running in hitting. This old star, marvellous player though he is, has fallen below 800 for the first time in years. At pres ent he is batting .290, something un- heard of before t this season of the year.
 speaker has been in the majority of the games played by his team, but apparently the worries of keeping the Indians in the race is beginning to tell on the gray matched veteran. Ills great outfield rival, Ty Cobb. is still forcing the fighting and is blessed with an average of $40.
 Cobb's team mate, Harry Heilmann, is still at the top of the heap. He has his ups and downs. but mostly ups. and at present he is hitting the pill for mark of .436.
 Eddie Collins second.
 Eddie Collins of Chicago, another war worn veteran, is second, with the percentage of .3S7. Collins Is also pulling away from the rest ill stolen bases. having 2I to his credit, one more than he had all last season. Be sides that the doddering Eddie is now tied with Wambsgannss of Cleveland in sacrifice hits.
 Ruth of New York is holding his Cleveland, Miller of Philadelphia are still there or thereabouts. Ruell of Washington has squeezed in among the leaders, but as he does not play in as many games as the rest, his rec ord is less imposing.
 Ruth of New York holding his own with the stick. Besides leading the home runs with 13, he has scored 47 runs for the league lead, and his regular batting average Is .355.
 Detroit is slamming the ball hard as team, but the Tigers have been guilty of some loose playing in the field, being fifth in fielding. New York has dropped to fourth in hit ting, but it is playing by far the best defensive game.
 Naylor of Philadelphia. with eight games won and one lost, leads the Ditcbprg

Hornsby Still There

That Rogers Eornsby of the St. Louis Cardinals has not lost his eye during his long lay-off was appar- ent when he returned to the game this week. Right off the reel Rogers pulled himself up third among the leading hitters and incidentally he added another home run to his col lection making 1t five all told.
 Zach Wheat, who came west with a fat average. has not done so well of late, and has gone pretty close to 400, his present mark being .406 holding their places with Grimm oi Pittsburg in second and Bottomley oi St. Louis just below Hornsby. his team mate.
 Cy Has 20 Hcmers.
 Cy Williams of Philadelphia. back In the harness again, has failed to locate the pill, and his 20 home runs still stand as the league lead. Hack Miller of Chicago has hoisted his mark up to eight, two of these com ing in one game this week.
 Frisch and Bancroft of New York are having a race for runs, the latter leading by small margin. Neither, however. is growing fat on what the Giants accumulate these days.
 Base stealing Is at a standstill, as it has been almost sIl season, Bohne ol CillclhHali pcl tHe SPceule9t lo date. Duncan of the same team has increased his sacrifice hit lead.
 Pittsburg, chasing New York in the pennant race. is. according to the figures. playing the best ball in the league. The Pirates lead both in bat ting and fielding, while the Giants are second in both instances. Brook lyn. near the top, is playing an at trocious fielding game, but is hitting fairly well.
 Luque of Cincinnati Is leading the pitchers as he has for some time. Morrison of Pittsburg has been doing effective work in the box.

Fiction Of Finance.
 The story of the raising of the sfO0.OO0 due kearns is one of the rarest tales of financing in the nls- tory of boxing. Mayor Jim Johnson of Shelby, 60 years old, with the appearance of a man under oo, was individually responsible for raising SC 900 in less than 24 hours. while Great Falls business men raised the balance. Johnson, who is treasurer of the American Legion committee at Shelby, promoting the fight, oeggeo stanton, the banker, to advance soV' 900 of the S76.O00 while he raised the nersonal friends in Shelby.

Tracey has a reputation of being d conservative business man.
 
 "J told these men" said Tracey, that I'd be boss or I would not have anything to do with the fight. I'm eoing to Shelby Monday to take eomplete charge and do re-organ-- izing wherever necessary. Mike Col lins, the original match maker undoubtedly will he retained be- canse of his experience in the boxing
 "I am confident we can put the fight over with the backing that is behind us and the needed support from the people of this section.'
