(By Joe Williams)

New York Aug. 22.-Mr, John L, Fan is a curious bird, Like sec ond- hand tire he will stand just so much, and not a bit more. Mr. John l.. Fan has in recent weeks become very sour, not 10 say bitter. on the subject of one John Harrison Dcmp- soy hcmit of the heavyHeights.
 Mir. John l.. Fan is beginning to think he is being pushed around. That is one thing he will not tolcr- ate. It it all right in certain circum- stances to shove Mir. Fan but he simply will not stand to be pushed. And it is becoming obvious that John Harrison Dempsey. for all his chatter about fighting in 1926-or is 1886 the date? -- is pushing him around.
 IL is tho earnest desire of Mir. Fan at the moment to have John Harrison Dempsey either put on the gloves of the Maxim slcncer or both without further delay.
 Moreover, the old bird is getting fed up on Harry Wills, known Nari- ously 10 the ring as the Browns Panther, the DoCilc DoCkhand and the Silent Scnegamban.
 Sentiment Beginning to Turn
 Mir. Fan is beginning to suspect tho colorcd cloutcr is getting away | with something, and his sympathios are on the verge of turning to re- sentiment.
 Nothing is quite so annoying 10 | the old bird as a belatcd discovery that his kindly impulses have been perverted.
 For four years he has been on 1 the Sideincs Whopping it up for the doWntroddcn darky, lending a TO- bust and unrcstraincd note to the general chorus of Fistiana 10 give Wills q chance" Now he is asking | himself if Wills all the while wasn't giving him the festive run-around. Wills had been fed a steady diet of succucnt sctups for four years. On occasions he has looked the part Of real fighter. At other times he failed to impress anybody.
 Why Not Gene Tunney? l Always the word has gone out that Wills will never "open up" un- tl he gets Dempsey in the ring, Mr. John l.. Fan is beginning to suspect this is a lot of pear pre- serves, or thccurrcnt fruit cquiya- lent thereof,
 Wills failed 10 knock out Firpo but he did stop Wcincrt. Was he holding back against Firpo and cut ting loose against Weinert? Don't be sappy!
 Wills has q chance 10 make good for the fight fans Of this country who have disrcgarlcd color and prejudice and all the mean little things q situation of this sort in. wolves and sided with him in a cam paign for q Dempsey match.
 Ho can take on Gene Tunncy this year. Tunncy wants to fight him ! is willing 10 make the match al reasonable terms, conceding the bulk of the gate 10 Wills,
 Next to Dempsey, Tunney is tho outstanding white heavyweight, Hi' knockout over Tommy Gibbons put him in the king row. This writer sees no reason Uhy Wills should not accept the match. He sees nc reason why the public shouldnH DEMAND that Wills take The match and go through with it instantly.
 Dempsey is out of the picture fol year, if not for all time. Tunnel IS decidedly in it at present ant anxious for action. If Wills refusei 10 take on Tunney the public ough 10 forget him along with Dempse! and turn it's attention 10 other moro worthy Of it's homage.

G R A H A M, GRAYS-SISLER
BROWNS-A COMPARISON

Perhaps the most valuable player
that the Grays have ever secured, and
a man who at the bat is the most de-
pendable piece Of batting machinery
ever turned out by the Omnipotent
hand Of the Savior, is one Graham,
who cavorts in right field, and whangs
away from the port side Of the plate.
Recently reports were carried in all
the newspapers to the effect that Sisler
Of the Browns had hit in Fl consecu-
tive games.
The Grays have not as yet played
that many games They have played
fifteen games. Graham has appeared
in right field in IS games And Ora
ham has hit safely in fifteen games.
With the most peculiar stance Of
any player in the game, sought after
BY Foster and other big league mag
mates, this North Carolina school
teacher, who found out that his calling
was the great diamond game, and who
was discarded BY the Bachrach Giants
back in 1921 for practically no reason
whatever, has been setting this section
OF the country ablaze with his mar
velous work at the bat Graham led
his teammates in hitting last year. and
he is well onto several kinds Of new
records this year At present he is
hitting close to the 900 mark, and Il
driving in more runs than any man on
the Gray team.
Sporting authorities who have seen
Graham hit consistently in game after
