CRITICS DIDN' I
KNOW RULES
Of FIGHT
Jim Dougherty Answers Spec
tators Who Planned His
Refereeing.

SHELBY, Mont, July 5.-Jin
Dougherty, who refereed the Demp
sey-Gibbons bout, said today:
Dempsey was an easy winner
He did all of the forcing, all Of the
real leading, and all of the real
fighting. Gibbons was, almost solely
on the defensive throughout the last
few rounds, and of course Dempsey
rolled up points heavily.
Those who criticise my conduct
by permitting the men to rough 1t
in the clinches do so from lack OF
knowledge of the real rules which
governed the fight. The men were
supposed to protect themselves al
all times, and If Gibbons was hit
on the getaway, that was his fault
II saw no low hitting by Demp
sey in the clinches, and his fight
ing inside was fair, according to
the rules which covered the fight.
Tommy Gibbons said: Jack
Dempsey's greater physical strength
coupled with his greater wrestling
ability, beat me this afternoon.
II went into the thing thinking
that 1t was to be a match under
Marquis of Queensbuhy rules, but
l wasn't in there very long before
got the idea that 1t was Graero
Roman, or catch-aS-catch-can. For
Dempsey, every time we fell into a
clinch, roughed it to the limit, twist
ed and turned me, and did about
everything but flop me to the floor
Dempsey may be the great hit
ter that his boosters claim, but he
didn't impress me this afternoon
And this great craftsmanship they
talk about, well, it wasn't so con
spicuous. Dempsey did hit me solid
blows on the chin and also on the
body, but he never even staggered
me.
I'D like another shot at him, with
wrestling rules more or less barred
/ learned enough about Dempsey
and his style of fighting this after
noon to make me certain that can
whip him."
i've never fought a gamer or
tougher man than Tommy Gibbons
punished hi maround the head and
body In the clinches as I've never
punished any one before. I hit him
solid smashes on the jaw and In the
body, but Tommy held to his feet
and fought on" said Jack Dempsey
after he successfully defended his
title.
MY only regret Is that Tommy
wouldn't mix 1t more in the last
five or six rounds. / wanted tc
slug it with him and put my present
day punch to q real test. But
Tommy used his ring Intelligence
and just ran from one clinch to an
other. And when he wasn't doing
that he was footing it around.
"They used to say he was a smart
fighter. I'll add my testimonial to
that. And want to say that in ad
dition to being smart, Tommy is
game and courageous, and certainly
one of the toughest men to hit with
a solid blow that I've ever fought.

COLLINS PLAYS
GREAT BALL
FOR SOX
White Sox Veteran Second
Stacker Making New Records
As Career Nears End.

One of the amazing records Of
the year is being made by Eddie
Collins, the thirty-six-year-old sec
ond baseman of the Chicago White
Sox. At thirty-six Eddie seems de-
termined to regain his second-base
crown from Rogers Hornsby. the
crack infielder of the Cardinals.
The latest averages show Collins
hitting 1868. which is as high as ne
ever rose in the batting tables. His
two highest averages were 1855 IN
1911 and 1863 in 1920.
However, the amazing thing
about Collins work has been his
return as a base stealer. Collins
stole twenty-six bases in fifty-eight
games when the last batting aver.
ages were published. That already
is more bases than Eddie has stolen
any year since 1919. when he
pilfered thirty-three.
He stole nineteen in 153 games
in 1920; twelve in 139 games In
1921, and twenty in 154 games last
season. His best base.running
mark was lightweight in 1910. when
he was twenty-three years Of age.
If he maintains his present pace he
will steal around sixty this season.
Baseball works in funny ways.
Had the trade been made last win
.er sending Collins to Nav York
for Meusel and Ward, everyone
would have attributed Eddie's great
play of 1923 to a change Of scene,
and to the fact that his presence On
a championship team had spurred
him with new ambition.
And Collins would have been
given the major share Of the credit
for the great showing of the
Yankees this season. Everyone
now would be saying: without
Collins, they couldn't have repeated.
He has put a new spark into the
club"
And here the Yankees are eleven
games in front with Collins stu on
the White Sox and Ward and
Meusel playing nifty ball for the
Yanks.

Twenty games, including four
left over from the spring tour, are
facing the Griffmen in the next
seventeen days. Five games in
four days Ii the Chicago card, a
double-header probably coming to.
morrow.
Next Tuesday the Griffs open a
four.game series in st. Louis and a
week from Saturday win find them
in Detroit. where they have elk
games to be played in four days.
On July Is the Griffs open their
last series in the West against the
Indians at Cleveland. A postponed
game must be played there. and,
with the Washingronians a poor
drawing card these days, it is prob
able that double-header will figure
in the series.
Before coming home, however.
the Griffs must visit Boston for a
series with Frank Chances Red
SOx, leaving on the night Of July
~ for Washington, where the
Tigers will be played on the fol-
lowing day Saturday.
On their first visit to Chicago

suffering from poor pitching, bur

team win two out of the five games

Fred Schliebner joined the
Browns just in time to play
against the Griffs in May. Now
he has pulled the infield together,
and, with the pitchers showing
more class, Lee Fohls team is most
formidable, especially when arrayed
against their ancient chocolate cake.
the Grfffs.
The Detroit Tigers are still bump
ing along with bad pitching and
suffering from sick and injured
athletes. If the Griffs are to
benefit anywhere in the West, it
should be in Detroit.
The Cleveland Indians, admittedly
strong rivals of the Yankees, are
quite likely to smash the Bush ma.
chine all over the field. Given
pitching, the Indians rate high as
a ball club.
Two more hollow beatings were
handed the Griffs before some
$1,000 fans in New York yester.
day, 12 to 6 and IL to 2. The
twin defeat brought the total up
to four for the series of four
games. The Yankees have now
won thirteen out Of seventeen
games with DOME Bush's outfit.
Zahniser started the first game
and yielded nine hits before getting
the air in the third frame. Hol-
lingsworth took uD the burden,
such as 1t was, and completed the
CHASTITY exhibition. Zahniser's abil-
ity is best shown by the nine hits
for nine runs in less than three
innings.
Walter Johnson. largely because
he had been advertised started the
second game. The Yankees crashed
his stuff for three runs in the
first frame and three more John
sons ineffectiveness is proved by
the eight hits the Yanks got in
one and one-third innings.
Wallace Warmoth replaced John
son and took a sad drubbing for the
remainder Of the afternoon. The
champions got nine hits off his
stuff.
