EARL WhTEELL IS SOLD OUTRIGHT TO DETROIT AMERICANS
Firpo A Tough
 Battler, So Says
 Big Jess Willard


 CHICAGO. Sept. 4.-At least one man doesn't think Jack Dempsey is in for soft pickings when he tackles Luis Angel Firpo ten days hence. That's Jess Willard, who knows what it is to be knocked out by both the champ and the challenger.
 Jess dropped off here for few hours on his way to New York and expounded as follows:
 This is going to be tough. slug ging battle, and no cakewalk. This Firpo fellow can hit. He has as wicked wallop as l ever saw and he can take 'em. He's sort of an iron man.
 ''Bempseyll hit him too, of course, but while he's hitting, Firpo will be hitting too, and I'm kind of in the belief that Firpo can stand the saff better. If Dempsey wins this fight 1t will be because his footwork and his ring generaiship will carry him through
 Because of Firpo's rapid rise a lot of fans don't believe there'll be any contest. l think so well of it Pm making the trip way back east. It will be fight all right and it may be d slaughter

BARON HURLER TO MAKE HIS
 FINAL APPEARANCE BEFORE LOCAL FANS AGAINST VOLS
Will Pitch First Game Of Dou-, bIe-Header Thursday At RiCkWood Park.
Rr MAC


 For three long years has Earl Whitehill. sterling little souh- paw hurler of the Barons, served his Magic City masters. And Whitey has served them we'll. In token of his service and success as pitcher, the Detroit Tigers. of the American league, have sent the call Southward that White- hill has been chosen for greater things. As a result. this morn ing Earl Whitehill is the proper ty of Detroit, his sale to that club having been announced by Secretary Billy West of the Ba- rons Tuesday night.
 Earl Whitehill will probably make his last appearance before local fans this week, when the Barons open a series with the Nashville Vols at Redwood Thursday afternoon. Whitey ,is slated to twirl the first game of a twin bill and in all proba- bility it will be his farewell bow to the fans who nave followed his development with the Barons, from a promising young semi pro to one of the best southpaw pitchers in minor league baseball.
 The sale of Whitehill to the Detroit club was outright, al- though the sum paid for the Ba- ron star was not disclosed. It is thought that the Detroit club paid fairly neat sum for White hill, as the Baron southpaw was regarded as sure thing for some big league club next year.
 Ty Cobb, pilot of the Tigers. has come through with some mighty timely help for the Ba- rons this season, and of course was given first chance at White hill The Georgia Peach grabbed the Baronial plum up instanter, and notified Manager Stuffy stewart that the deal had gone through.
 Whitehill's sale to the Detroit Club was announced last night by Billy West, Baroniai secre- tary who left the club at Mo- bile. West had to return home to attend to q business matter, and slipped the word along to the scribcs that WhitehilI had been sold upon his arrival. It Was West who announced that Whitehill will make his final bow before local fandom in the first game of that double-header Thursday. WhitehilI will proba- bly leave for Detroit within another week or so, 1t was an- nounced last night.
 Whitehill was framed out in the Sally league by the Barons four years ago, and made such a sensational record that he was recalled the following spring. He has been a regular ever since, and has several three glorious years with the Barons.
 Whitehill is a youngster, com paratively speaking-he is still in his very early twenties-and has his entire career ahead of him, Although or only medium stature. Whitehill is stockly built, and has the stamina to stand up under the strain of regular pitch ing. 7N
 It won't be whitehilrs first trial at major league pitching, but fandom confidently expects it to be his last-trial they mean, of course, for everyone expects Whitey to make good this time.
