got to talking about prize
fighters, the high hat, etc.
Curley said during the chat:
81 say this and l guess / have
a right to. l promoted Dempsey's
first big fight-the one with Full
ton, and lost money on the ven.
ture. Fulton told me three weeks
before that fight he would win in
a round. Instead, Dempsey
knocked Fred over before he had
his hands up.
about this thing of fighters
becoming gentlemen and putting
on the high hat" said Curley, 81
can't understand the scramble of
so many of them-when they have
reached championship heights to
put their profession behind them
and take up acting or some other
line. Where would they all be
but for boxing? Who would
know them?
II say this, not unkindly, but
what would Jack Dempsey be if
he had not turned to fighting? A
hobo, possibly. 1t is not as though
boxing were thing to be des-
pissed.
"You know, l am reminded of a
scene in the Earl of Derby's box
at the EPSON Downs races.
Georges Carpenter was there as
the guest of the Earl. And the
King and Queen were there. The
Queen leaned over to ask OF
Georges, L see your wife has just
had {. baby. How are they do
ing? Isn't that a picture for
you! The Queen of England in
curing of a prize fighter how his
wife and child we're doing! Why,
| know social climbers who. would
have paid millions to have had
the Queen of any country address
them.
"The Queen spoke to Georges
Carpenter because he was a cham
pion fighter. He had become IA
nous through boxing"

OHIO SPORTS

COLUMBUS, July 2s.-Ohians, as
heretofore, made up more than 80
per cent of Ohio States varsity
teams during the year 1924-25.
Only three men of nearly three
score athletes who were regulars on
the four major sport teams came
from outside the Buckeye State.
Two of the three, rather oddly, are
varsity captains for next year.
On the championship basketball
squad, only Ralph E. Red" Settler,
captain elect for 1926, was other
than a Buckeye. On the strong
track team, Ralph Bunker. twice
Big Ten hammer throw champion,
was the only n-Ohioan. He came
from Utah.
Don Sloteman, pitcher and captain
elect for 1926, was the lone alien on
the baseball squad. He is from Lock
haven, Pa.

YOUTH AND VET
IN DOUBLES
Z VICTORY

The unbeatable combination of a
Soungster and veteran. both with
a certain amount of skill and a
large amount of cunning. went to
the fore when Maurice O'Neill and
Bob Considine won the municipal
doubles title in a close match on
the Potomac Park courts, They de-
defeated the team Of Russell and
Stebbins in. straight sets, 60, and
So.
O'Neill, winner of the singles
title last year, was in rare form,
and his youthful partner, Considine,
was not far below. The victorious
pair went to the front at the start
OF each set, and all they did there
after was just maintain that lead.
Their lobbing frequently sent Rus.
sett or Stebbins hurrying back to
the lines for unbalanced shots.

Various Managers Handle
Their Men

Walter Holke, late OF the PhiIlies.

teams, and hfs' impressions Of the
methods Of managers he has taken
orders from make an interesting
yarn.
"Of the managers / have played

'McGraw has the tightest rein on
his men, who are given very little
opportunity to use their initiatives

more leeway. Mitchell, who later
managed the club, had the same
system.

McGraw runs the Giants, which
might be expected, since Art learn
ed his baseball from McGraw IN
Cincinnati, Hendricks allows his
men to use their own judgment to
a greater degree than McGraw or
Fletcher, though not quite to the
extent that StalIings and Mitchell
did"
Holke is in his tenth season as
major Lacquer. He went to the
Giants originally in the fall of 1914
from the Spokane club Of the
Northwestern League, and the fol-
lowing year he was re-eased under
optional agreement to the Rochester
club of the International League.
He was taken back to the Giants
in 1916.

Harold called up his sweetie,
told her that everything was Jake
and went about his work.
In the meantime, Mullens dug
up two of the girls who deal them
off the arm in butter-cake caba-
ret on Madison street and gave
them two seats directly in back
Of the two he saved for Harold
Smith. With the seats he gave
them orders, telling them the story
Of the two dolls who were to sit
directly in front.
The night of the fight Harold
Smiths sweetie and her pal
started to applaud as Harold came
into the ring. They didn't applaud
long, however, for the two DANES
in back took their play away.
Here comes my Harold, now"
said one of them, jumping up and
waving a handkerchief at Harold.
Doesn't he look sweet? Oh,
dear, I hope he doesn't get hurt,
because. we have a date after the
fight. We're going to get mar
ried in September if he wins this
fight" she continued.
With the last remark Harold's
sweetie left the joint flat. Up
to date Harold has spent $50 on
wires and hasn't received a reply

Dempsey Is Through With Ring
Forever

VIZ ARREN BROWN, Of the
w Chicago Examiner, who was
the first to predict the split
between Kearns and Dempsey and
who later on tipped off the sport
ing world to the news that Demp-
sew was through with the ring
forever, penned this bit in his
paper last week:
"Jack Kearns, Dempsey's man
ager, had it within his power a
week ago to say the match with
Harry Wills was all right as far
as he was concerned. But kearns
kept silence
"He did so for the reason that
his agreement to the meeting
would have brought the match no
nearer than it has been in years.
Dempsey, when called before
the New York Boxing Commission
before sailing for Europe, slid out
of the Wills tangle by saying that
kearns made his matches. But
Kearns, knowing Dempsey, was
aware that a mere agreement to
rect the negro would not produce
the fight. He knew, too, that
once he had declared Dempsey
for the match, Dempsey himself,
at the other end of the Atlantic
cable, would wriggle out of his
agreement. And so he refrained
from signing, and took the punish
ment the commission handed him.
"The situation now between
Dempsey and Kearns with respect
10 Wills is that Kearns wants
Dempsey to fight Wills, and
Dempsey doesn't want to fight
Wills or anyone else. And thus
it will remain"

They only had a glance at the
standing of the clubs to know that
some one was as wrong as rat
poison, Iow0sW, and Miller Hug
gins is the ANagqrer.
Backstairs gossip from those close
to the management and players has
had the Yankees indulging in mu-
tuaI recriminations and, in some
cases. showing actual disrespect
for their manager.
Rupert has had direct evidence
this season Of what the situation
can and does produce. Higgins, of
course allowed the club to grow
old on his hands, yet the YanksN
are no seventh place outfit, bad as
they are. They simply have their
heads down and are merely finish
ing out their string. To listen to
some of the fans you would think
the string should be a rope with
q tree on the other.
The identity of those to be gull
lotined can only be surmised. How
ever, the club has plenty of good
trading material in Jones and Hoyt,
pitchers; Ward. second baseman,
and Meusel, outfielder, and some
thing is certain to be done about
it before 1926. Ruth, of course, is
immune for more than one reason.
For one thing, no club would
care to assume his big contract in
the present stage of his rather pre-
carious health. For another, Ruth
is a New York institution and will
so remain until proved otherwise.
1t also may be assumed that Dugan
and Combs are safe. simply because
you can't reconstruct the Wool

BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK, July 28.-Having
ridden the crest for four years
and now in the grip of the
undertow, the New York Yankees
today faced the alternative of
getting a new manager or new
ball club. It quite probably will
be the latter, since Jake Rupperty
the well-known check writer, has
declared with convincing heat that
he is perfectly satisfied with Mil
Ter Higgins as a team leader.
Higgins, therefore, will stay and
the prima donnas go. They are al
together irreconciliable and another
season without chance of some
kind would wreck what is left of
a ofice proud ball club.
The writer is not prepared to say
that this is Higgins fault. He
was good enough to lead the club
to a pennant for three seasons
and to second money last year. But
the young men have not taken
kindly to a second division berth
and, of course, are altogether
blameless themselves.
