JACK ST 7
FORCOIJRT

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., Sept. II.
The ninety-eighth round in the legal
battle to a finish between Jack
Dempsey and Jack Kearns was to
be fought out here this morning,
when Dempsey will be forced to
make answer to the newest action
by Kearns.
The champion was ready for
appearance in court, but declared
he would not go into the court
room unless required to do so.
Kearns on Saturday filed an
action which resulted in Dempsey
being declared a temporary bank
rupt and which barred Dempsey
temporarily from leaving the State.
To insure that either he or his
attorneys would appear in court
today, the champion had to put up
a bond of 100000 which would
have been forfeited If Dempsey had
left New Jersey.
Kearns asked an accounting from
Dempsey of all the moneys that
Dempsey personally had received
from August 8, 1928, until August
8, 1925, which is the three-year
period covered by their contract.

The champions are likely to have
to fight all the way through that
two-day series in Philadelphia. They
close here tomororrow and on Fri
day are booked to start a three.
game series in Chicago. The White
Sox are close upon their heels and
are playing fast ball. The Griffs,
to pass the Mackmen, may have
to slam them next week as the
curtain drops on the campaign.
Again has Admiral Jones made
a good showing on the hill with the
Griffs and Bucky Harris makes
no effort to conceal his joy. The
youngster from Chattanooga held
the Browns to six hits yesterday
in hanging up his to 2 victory,
but his control surprised Manager
Harris.
The tall lad issued only two
passes and kept firing away at
top speed from first to last. In
the first seven innings just three
hits came off his delivery, one
being Harry Rice's triple giving
the Browns a run in the fourth.
In the ninth, Marty McManus
doubled, took third on a wild pitch
and scored on Hargraves' long fly
to Goslin. And right there you
have all that the Browns could
do to the Griff's kid twirler.
Stanley Coveleskie delivered the
goods in the opening game. He
gave only thre hits in the first
six innings. Then. with lead cf
seven runs, he eased up and the
Browns, punching six hits In the
last three innings, succeeded in
scoring their four runs.
Ernie Wingard opposed Coveleskie
and was hammered almost from
the start. To make matters worse,
the Browns went to pieces in the
field in the fourth inning and there
after there was no fight in them.
Win Ballou, last year with the
Griffs, started against Jones and
lasted through six innings. He had
little or no chance at winning
against the superior flinging being
shown by the Washington rookie.
