DEMPSEY WAITING
 FOR GOOD WEATHER
DriZZle Interrupts Outdoor Work
 of Heavyweight Champion

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 26. Pl- Jack Dempsey waited at his rain soaked training camp today for a chance to cut loose in open air workouts. The champions training plans, upset by the drizzle that has fallen steadily for two days, called for a heavy session in the outdoor ring.
 Although the experts here have seen Dempsey in but one day of his routine work, the opinion is general that he rapidly is getting into con- dition. His wind appears to be ex- cellent and the champion steps around on his toes continually to make sure that his legs will be in shape to withstand a gruelling con- test such as he faces with Gene Tunney in Philadelphia on Septem- Der 25.
 Dempsey regards his test of con- dition as a matter of the staying power in his.legs. If his underpin- ming holds up to his satisfaction, the king of the heavyweights believes that his punishing power will take care of itself.
 In his first workout yesterday since shifting his training camp here from Saratoga Springs, Demp-

CHURCH LEAGUE GAMES
Three Important Games Scheduled For Tonight Is Weather Reelnts Another Game Postponed.

The Inter-Church league will make another effort to circumvent the weather tonight, when three very important game are played. All six teams scheduled this evening have been playing great ball of late and are closely matched, with the added incentive to win caused by the punched standing making the teams try still harder. The St. Matthew's Lutherans are set for the First Lutherans, who gave them one of their hardest games before and almost walked off with the vic tory; the St. Matt's have now clinch- ed the title, but they are anxious to keep their winning streak right up to the end of the season, while the Swedes need the game tonight to stay in second place.
 The Trinity Methodists and Stan other in a battle for third place, with the further possibility that the winner may go into second if the SWedes are defeated. This game should be another tight one. The third game will bring the Blue Army onto the field against the South church, fifth place being the plum for the winner. Both teams have been making drives in the closing weeks of the season and should put up good ball against each other.
 The game scheduled for last night between the Stanley Memorial nine because of wet grounds.

WILLING
 ID MEET RED SOX
Manager VeniSki Would Like to Arrange Series With Tobin

Manager Joe Veniski of the Fal- cons baseball team has written a letter to this office stating in it that the Falcons would be glad to meet with Manager John Tobin to talk over a series between the two teams. This is the meeting tkat fans have been wishing for in this city and though at first it appeared that the Falcons, Kensington and the Corbin Red SoX would play a series between them, later developments put this lineup aside and the result was that Kensiugton arranged a series with both the Falcons and the Red Sox and there was no agreement reach ed between Veniski and Tobin.
 Following the first two games with the kensington team in which both the Falcons and the Corbin Red SoX were returned the winners, the fans of the city have been stat ing that the Falcons and Red Sox should get together. That does not mean to say that the Kensington team is thought to be out of he run ming, because the series are to run best three out of five, but 1t is eN- dent that the teams are getting mo- where while the Corbin Red Sox and Falcons do not meet.

sey showed impressively. He boxed four rounds with his sparring part ners and each was worn out when the single round allotted to him was over. Tillie Kid Herman, a husky middleweight from Los Angeles, gave him the best battle, both broke out brand of real fighting and slugged reckIessly in two furious eX- changes. To the surprise of the spectators, gathered in the Elk gymn, nothing untoward happended when the powerful Herman crashed his hands into Dempsey's tailor made nose. Jack floored Jimmy Brown, a negro middleweight from Panama, with a left hook at the close of one of the rounds.
 Dempsey's wife, Estelle Taylor, intends to go to the coast immedi- ately to resume her motion picture work. She wants to get Jack settled in his bunglow on the edge of the town, however, before departing.

LITTLE BILL JOHNSTON
 IS ORDERED TO HIS BED
Tennis Star is Seized With an At tack of the Grip in Middle
 of Campaign.

Newport, R. l., Aug. 26 Rl-Ill health today interposed an uneXpect- ed obstacle to Little Bill Johnston's eastern tennis campaign at the height of his preparations for par ticipation in defense of the Davis cup two weeks hence.
 Suffering from an attack of grip, the veteran California star was or dered to bed yesterday by local physician after winning a fourth round match in the Newport tourna- ment against Dr. Carl Fischer of Philadelphia, GO, 6-3. Friends of the famous international star were alarmed when his temperature mounted in the evening, but late last night the courageous little vet eran said he would not default his quarter-fnal contest today with A. H. Chapin, Jr., of Springfield, Mass, unless his condition became worse.
 Believing that Johnston might i'm prove his chances of taking part in the Davis cup challenge round, the tournament committee for the first time since the opening of the event did not include the San Francisco aces match in its schedule of play today.
 Tilden entered the quarter finals yesterday by another romp to vic tory, vanquishing his Lehigh uni versity protege, Neil Sullivan, at 6-2, 6-S. Cranston Holman of Le- land Stanford qualified to oppose him by winning over the former Yale player, Arnold Jones, 60, 64.
 Dr. George King of New York and James Davies of California earned their quarter-fnal brackets less cas- fly.

UNLESS you have crammed a load of Prince Albert into that favorite pipe of yours, you simply haven't given your pipe chance to do its stuff. No matter how contented you may think you are, there's revelation in store for you-in the store where they sell p. A.!
 On a sporting chance, you might say, thousands of others have tried Prince Albert. They've stayed with it! Because they found P. A. cool as a breeze on hilltop; sweet as raise in pay; fragrant as springtime flowers. It didn't bite and it didn't parch.
New Britain herald., 1926-08-26

There's one big reason for all of this: Prince Albert is real, blown-in-the-bottle quality tobacco. No other tobacco is like it-in fragrance, taste and performance iii pipe. That's why P. A. is known as the National Joy Smoke wherever pipes are smoked.
 Keep an open mind on this subject. Maybe, after all, there is something to the wonderful tales you've been hearing about jimmy-pipe joy. Maybe? Why, there's no question about it. We know you've been missing the time of your life if you don't know Prince Albert.

The latest move of Manager Joe Veniski Is considered to be con cession on his part and those who are close to both parties feel that within the next few days both he and Manager Tobin will get together to talk things over and a series be- tween the two teams will result.
 Manager Veniski's letter is as fol- lows:
 Dear Sir:
 In regard to a series of games be- tween the Corbin Red Sox and the Falcons, we wish to state that we would be glad to meet the Red Sox f /. such a series and we would like to meet MT. Tobin and representa- tives of the Red Sox at some con- venient time and place to talk the matter over.

The near-fight started when Me Corry, pitching for Albany, sent in fast one that struck SchinkePs bat near the handle. Shaking his fin ger warningly, Schinkel said some thing to McCorry and McCorry made reply. There were two strikes on Schinkel, and McCorry, taking ad- vantage of the big fellows frame of mind, whizzed another one over and Schinkel whiffed. Trotting out to his position, Schinkel again shook his finger at McCorry and warned him.

As the last put-out was made, Schinkel, stuffing his glove Into his hip pocket, came in on the run to Albany's bench and pulled his for mer boss out. In an instant there was a hubbub, some of the fans calling to Schinkel to kill him." while others, evidently in sympathy with McCorry, encouraged him to take a shot at him Bill" Umpire Glass pushed Schinkel away, and Schinkel pushed him back and breaking loose, went back after Me- Corry.

In spite of the fact that the New Britain and Meriden police teams did not play yesterday afternoon, the local cops had two rooters on the field. Fred and Carl Rittner, un- aware of the cancellation of the game, left here about o'clock and broke all previous speed records of their f1ivver in a mad dash to Han- over park. They arrived to find an empty diamond and were much chagrined to be told the truth by ypungster standing nearby. AS if that were not enough, they tore home, changed their clothes, and hurried down to Willow Brook park for scheduled church league game, only to find, after a half hour of waiting, that this, too, had been called off while they were on their wild goose chase to the Silver City.
 Some kicks are being raised about the promiscuous postponing of games in the church league. Things have come to pass where some managers call off the evenings game if they find heavy dew on the ground when the arise in the morning. It is getting late in the season, aftcr-supper hours of day light are growing fewer, and every effort should be made to play off contests as soon as possible if the league is to be wound up before S. flies. There are times when it is far too wet to play, but few minutes of moisture during the day are hardly enough to call for post ponement.
