RING GARD
Fort Myer Will Put on Navy
and Army Stars Next
Monday Night

Two real service boxers, Bob
Martin, heavyweight champion Of
the "A. e. F., with brief but bril-.
liant record in the professional
ring, and Jim Sigman, Jimmy
Johnston's latest find fresh from
the United States navy, are to
show their fistic wares at Fort
Myer next Monday night. They are
to travel as far toward ten rounds
as possible. featuring the first ring
show booked across the river in
weeks.
Following a severe beating at the
hands of Frank Moran, Bob Martin
retired from the ring, joining the
Maryland mounted police. He has
worked himself into perfect physical
condition and once more enlisted in
the army, being attached to Fort
Bragg.
Sigman is a youngster said to
hold much ring promise. Standing
six feet three inches, he weighs 200
pounds and is hard as nails. 1t is
probable that Martin is a more
finished borer, but SigmAn win rely
upon his ruggedness to get the edge
In their Fort Myer contest.

two things, to wit: Something or

capable in transacting the latter.

same that was mentioned in Demp-
sey's telegram to the commission
last Friday, In which he promised

James 2. Farley, chairman Of
the board, Is said to favor the
arbitrary removal Of Dempsey, IN
the event that the letter fails to
arrive today, and the ordering of
an elimination bout between Wills
and Gene Tunney. Messrs. Brewer
and Muldoon are believed to be in
the mood to counsel delay In the
official execution In order to wait
for the letter. They have been
waiting for Dempsey for two years
and are beginning to like it.
However, everything pointed to

It was said that both would be
represented at the meeting today
by Teddy Hayes, who is by way
of being Kearns' social secretary

do. The commission is not feeling
very sociable toward Kearns and
Walker these days.
In additin, the board holds
Walkers $4,000 forfeit and has
set August Is as the final GATE on
which Walker can meet Shade

means that something rather hasty

kind of money you laugh with,

Ogden, who had been enjoying good
pitching, was victimized by Marty

In August contending teams are
girding themselves for that last
sprint to the finish line. In Sep
TENDER, If they are to make the
fight for the flag, they must be
ready for anything and every
thing.
The Griffmen have fought their
way out of a serious slump ex-
tending over several weeks, q
slump threatening their contest
with the Athletics. Nevertheless,
without suffering n slump, the
AS were unable to gain much of
an advantage over the Griffmen.
Through July the Griffs' best
hitters were futile at the plate.
Their pitchers, handicapped by
Johnson's illness, Zachary's oc-
casional weakness and Ogden's
utter failure, cracked under the
strain.
August has come. The batters,
notably Rice and Goslin, have
found their batting eyes once
more. Bluege is hitting in timely
fashion again. The infield, with
Peck back on the job, is once
more the terrible run-killing ma
chine it was in 1924.
johnson came back to the team
not quite ready, but he quickly
proved his worth and his two-hit
anniversary game Sunday indi-
Gates where he now stands. 1t is
but a. matter of week or so
before the pitchers will again
settle down to their regular pitch
ing routine, the routine which has
kept the team in the hunt from
the beginning Of the season.
Don't worry about the Griffs.
They'll be there with bells on.

they deserve the appelation, add
ing AL Simmons for good meaas-
ure. And right there you have to
stop with great suddenness.
Ed Rommel was with the Giants
in 1919 and went to the Mackmen
in 1920. So did Bryan Harriss.
Jack Quinn was with the New
York Yankees in 1909, only two
years after Johnson broke in here.
Yes, and Quinn is older than Bar
ney. Walberg, Comics capable
relief hurler, while not exactly a
youngster, nevertheless, has not
had much major league expe-
rience, but he has as much as
Marbury has. It's probably

Jim Poole, a minor league vet
eran, is but slightly younger than
Joe Judge. Jimmy Dykes is two
days younger than Bucky Harris.
Peck is much older than Galloway,
but the AS shortfielder has been
with Connie Mack since 1919.

Tigers ahead.
Holloway walked as a starter IN

Jones was trapped between first

that decided the victory In favor or

Between the first and seventh

never had a man ON second base.
However, in the seventh they
staged a real rebellion and scored
their second and final run.

Hale was with the Detroit Tigers
almost ten years ago and has fully
as much, If not more, experience
than Ossie BIuege.
Lamar is older and more ex-
perienced than Goslin. McNeeiy
is bit older but has no more ex-
perience than Simmons. Rice is
older than Bing Miller by two
and half years and has some six
years advantage when it comes to
major league experience.
Muddy Ruel and Cy Perkins
both came into fast company to
stay in 1918. Today Ruel is still
moving along, but Perkins has
been shaded by Mickey Cochrane,
playing his first year under the
main top.
Yes, when it comes to adding up
all the years, the Griffs are older
than their rivals, but the vantage
is not so much. And when it
comes to experience in the large
league, there is mighty little diff
ference between the teams. Con-

TACK DEMPSEY is kicking
against the attitude the
- sports writer's are assuming
toward him. Well, he has himself
to blame.
Dempsey says one thing and
does another. He gives some

story and then makes that same
writer look like a boob inside of
few days by doing exactly OPP
posite.
Jack Dempsey is champion of
the world. He earned his title
honestly. He has made a fortune
in the ring and has been given all
credit for his achievements. But
Jack is yet to learn that there are
many sports writer's who consider
their own regulations quite as
highly as Dempsey does. They
don't like to be made boobs by
him, whether he is a champion or
not. Furthermore, they are let
ting the world know it. That's
