QUOTED UPON
HARRY GREB

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Harry
Greh, who started out a to 1
favorite in the betting over cham
pion Johnny Wilson, will enter the
ring at much shorter odds. The
best price obtainable at present is
9 to S. During the last week sew
eral substantial wagers have been
made at 2 to /.
Greb wound up his training with
a bang at Manhasset yesterday, 60
ing ten strenuous rounds with
three of his sparring partners, Ed
BitZel, Young frankie and Jack
Barry. During the last two days
Greb has had lively sessions with
Young frankie, a southpaw, and
the challenger says that Wilson s
left-handed delivery WON'T puzzle
him a bit. "Southpaws are no good
unless they get set. and Wilson will
never get set said Greb. Greb
said he would weigh in at between
1853 and 159 pounds
! Wilson will continue to box at
his Summit, N. j., training quar-
ters until the day before the fight.
He will come to New York early
Friday morning. For the first
time, under the new ruling of the
boxing commission governing cham
pionship contests, Wilson and Greb
will be weighed in at 2 o'clock on
Friday afternoon, the day of the
contest at the Polo Grounds, at the
office of the commission. 1t is ex-
pected that Chairman Muldoon will
personally supervise the weighing.

The outdoor promoters do not
seem keen for this match so Rick

Gibson expects to engage Rick
ard in serious conversation today
regarding a Leonard-White en-
gagement. Early in July, when
Leonard was in training for Lew
Tender, Richard felt that great
injustice was being done to White
and accordingly hailed Gibson be-
fore the New York State ath-
letic commission.
AS a result of the mix-up Glib
son and Leonard were suspended
in New Jersey, where the White
match was originally scheduled,
but the New York authorities de-
clined to interfere in the Tender
match.
Since then Richard has mont
Tested no activity in obtaining

is just as much opposed to gong
through with the match in New
Jersey now as Gibson was in
July.
Tex would like to stage this
affair at the Polo Grounds next
month or the Garden later. Glib
son is willing but the New Jersey
authorities insist on the fight be-
ing held across the river and are
holding a club over Gibsons head
in the form of a refusal TO lift
Leonard's suspension. AS the

The guides advice to the week

prescribed last week, that is Back

ming wild. One of the best starting
points is Shady Side, Anne Arundel
county, Md.
The angler will make no mistake
in selecting Shady Side for the big
gest fish so far this season have
been landed in the Chesapeake's
waters off shore from this beautiful
resort.
Hardheads, while not SO large as
earlier In the season, are numerous
and some big strings of select fish
are being boated with regularity.
Blue fish and gray back trout
have already shown their teeth.
Some fine specimens of the fighting
tribes were taken last Saturday and
Sunday, a few of the fish running
as high as six pounds.
Norfolk spots, of the big type, are
in abundance and very few fishing
parties return after trip spotless.
Situated only thirty-seven miles
from the city, it can be reached by
auto in a short space of time, as
the roads are in wonderful condi-
ton. Pennsylvania avenue bridge,

TING RACE IS
MORE LIVELY
THAN FLAG
HeiImann and Ruth Give Fans
Bigger Thrill Than
Eight Teams.
BY II. c. WALKER.

DETROIT, Aug. 20. That bat
ting race between Harry Heilmann
and Babe Ruth is exciting more In
terest Just now than Is the PEN
nant race in the American League.
There is no pennant race. in fact.
as the Yankees have the flag all
sewed up and ready to be hOisted.
but there is a real race on Tor
batting honors and It bids fair to
continue right up TO the finish.
For the greater part of the sea-
son the Detroit hitter showed the
way, but recently Ruth came with
q rush and passed Harry. The
latter sIumped a bit just as Ruth
spurted, but Harry seems to be
over his slump and Ruth has re-
turned to his normal gait, 50 that
the positions are likely to nuctuate
from now on.
Whichever of these two sterling
sluggers finally wins out his VIC
tory will be popular with the loser.
II Harry loses he wNlld rather see
Babe win than any Seher man who
threatens to get to the top and the
same may be said of Babe. He
would rather be beaten by Harry
than by any other player.
It now seems certain that Bam-
bino will capture the home run
hitting honors without any very
close second and that should BE
glory enough for one man, par
ticularly as Ruth also will lead ths
run.getters and also head the liI
in driving in runs.
If Babe Ruth wins in the variou
departments his victory will be thl
most popular with the kids, espe
cially those of New York. The big
slugger is the greatest hero base
bali has ever developed in the eyes
of the New York youngsters, not
alone because Of his great ball
playing, but because he IL so kind
to the little fellows.
Every day when the team is az
home a great crowd of boys wait
for Ruth at the players exit and
escort him to his car. Usually
there are 200 or more little fellows
in the mob. Babe submits pleas
antly to being mobbed and it is
his custom to pile as many of the
kids in his car as it will mold and
give them a spin before starting
down town. He is truly a hero of
whom the small fry never. tires.

WADDELL'S GRAVE NOW
MARKED BY MONUMENT

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. ga
massive monument Of gray granite
appropriately inscribed and stand
ing more than six feet high was
erected yesterday afternoon over
the grave Of George Edward
c'Rube') Waddell, famous old time
baseball pitcher, who died here in
1914, and is buried in a local burial
park. The monument was pur-
chased by the National and Texas
Leagues and a few individual sun
scribers and cost slightly more
than $500. Waddell's grave was
marked for nine years by nothing
more than a faded wooden slab
from which the elements had vir-
tually erased the name.

The FirpO Build Up."

"HE "build up" of Firpo for
the champion has now reach
ed the stage where the chal-
lenger is depicted as having an
excellent chance to land a knock
out. Coupled with stories Of
Firpo's terrific" battering of his
sparring partners at Atlantic City
are tales of Dempsey being un-
able to attain good boxing form
in his daily workouts at Saratoga.
Those who remember the wide
open lunges Firpo made at Jess
Willard in their bout at Boyle's
Thirty Acres cannot conceive how
the South American can win from
Dempsey. 1t will also be remem-
bered that Firpo once ran into
Wizards left and was '"goofy"
for a few minutes.
Many capable critics think The
champion will be in for the fight
of his career if he fails to stop
Firpo in the first four rounds.
However, Dempsey will have to
go back quite a distance before
he is whitfield down to Firpo's
size even though the Argentine
giant is credited with great i'm
provement in the last few weeks.
Luis Angel hasn't met a real
puncher yet and it remains to be
seen whether he can avoid being
folded up by Dempsey's powerful
body blows. Jack can hit, of
course, but not as easily as Firpo.

There's one angle to his career
that like more than anything
else. He was born I'm Cleveland,
has lived there all his life and
came right up from the sand lots.
Mighty few players do that
come up to the big leagues from
the sand lots and make good
right from the start in their home
towns.
Organized baseball spends lot
Of money developing players in the
minor leagues but have a notion
it would be wise to give some
thought to the sand lots. Cleveland
is about the hottest sand lot town
in the country. They tell me there
are all kinds of leagues and lot
of them-that they have big govern
ing organizations Of their own, and
that these games draw big crowds
and create lot OF interest In base
ball generally. And the funny thing
is that it helps instead OF hurts
the attendance at the American
League games there.
The Yanks are "IN'' so far as
the pennant race is concerned but
in spite Of this we played to
crowd at Cleveland last Sunday
that not only filled every seat in
the park but flowed over on the
field. And in that crowd were a
lot of the sand-lot players who had
played morning games and their
rooters.
OF course. / have nothing to
say about how baseball should be

everything could to help the
youngsters along. figure il

Not only that, IL would be cheap
err than putting some dough into
little minor leagues and support

/ The big league stars Of tomor-
cow ought to come from the sand
lots.
Personally I've always been in

They're my best friends. They all
want to be home-run kings and
