Rain, Rain, Go Away

THIS has been a most unusual
H. week for the big leagues. Bad
weather has been almost continu-
Gus all over both circuits.
Beginning with last Sunday, the
Washington club has played just
one game. The Indians have
managed to get in a pair. The
Yankees, Tigers and White SoX
have played three each. Thanks
to a double-header, the Mackmen
have played four.
The St. Louis Browns, because
they happened to be scheduled in
Boston, which has had good
weather, have missed but one day.
The Red Sox have played every
day.
The Cardinals have not missed a
day. Neither have the Chicago
Cubs, the West having better
weather than the East.
The Braves have missed three
days, the Phillies, Giants and Reds
two. The Brooklyn Robins idled
zone day.
This week, from a weather
angle, has been the worst faced
by the big leagues all season.
The double-headers are piling up
like mountains, thus nroviding
stiff tests for every pitching
staff.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1926-08-21

Then came disturbances among
the Pirates. Pitchers were fined.
Eddie Moore was shunted to the
Boston Braves for not paying at
tention to his knitting. A couple
of men were released. Finally
rebellion against the presence OF
Fred Clarke on the bench brought
summary punishment to three
veterans, Max Carey, Babe
Adams and Carson Bigbee, the
first named being turned over
to the Brooklyn Robins and the
latter two released outright.
Meanwhile Rube Bressler's rib
mended and Rogers Hornsby shed
his carbuncles. The Reds and the
Cardinals began stepping on the
gas, and today, with six more
weeks of the campaign remaining,
three teams are battling like
gamesters right down the line.
Only one can be triumphant. The
title will go to that team which
combines the most gameness with
the most luck.

his plan, and the latter personally
went to Dempsey and asked If he
would fight Wills in Philadelphia
at the Municipal Stadium. Accord
ing to the lawyer, the champion
heartily approved the idea.
The next step, as outlined yester-
day by McDevitt, was to see Will
liam Abrahams, at that time direc-
tor Of concessions and Colonel Col
lier, who was director general of
the exhibition. To the former the
scheme was outlined, and Abrahams
so McDevitt said, fell in with the
plan, but enjoined silence on the
parties directly concerned.
Because he asked silence on the
matter, in order not to stir up the
religious folks" said McDevitt,
nothing was reduced to writing.
Colonel Collier also sanctioned the
plan, and we were the very first in
the field.

The New Yankees

THE Yankees won the pennant
l. in 1923. They were nosed out
in 1924. They finished down in
the ruck in 1925. They are now
winning the pennant in 1926.
That defeat in 1924 caused a
big change in the Yankee lineup.
Aside from a couple of veteran
hurlers, Babe Ruth and Bob
Meusel are the only players who
were regulars in the world series
of 1923.
Last years debacle brought a
new infield, Joe Dugan being the
lone regular. Koenig came from
st. Paul to play short. Tony
Lazzeri came from the Coast
League to play second and Lou
Gehrig, who broke in the year
previous, never went back to
Hartford.
Pat Collins, after fattening on
the bench with the Browns,
starred in St. Paul and earned a
job with the Yankees. With
Schang gone Benny Bengough got
a chance to prove his worth.
Of the champions of 1923, Joe
Bush is with the Pirates, Wally

Witt with the Robins, Everett

St ASHORE
FOR JACK
By Sid Mercer

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
N. Y, Aug. 21.-Jack Dempsey will
move his training camp to At
lantic City.
An official announcement to this
effect was made here after Gene
Normile, Dempsey's manager
phoned Jack from Atlantic City
that arrangements had been COM
pleted and that a ring and quar-
ters would be constructed at once
at the old dog track near Inlet.
Jack will probably live in a nearby
cottage.
Dempsey will train here
through Sunday; will leave Sum
day night for New York, ana
proceed at once to Atlantic City.
He will not lose day In training
by the move.
Normile at one time considered
a move to Delaware Water Gap,
but for reasons Of convenience
chose the New Jersey seaside re-
sort. Dempsey is pleased at going
to Atlantic City. but says that 1t
really makes no difference to him
where he trains.
''In the meanwhile / expect 10
devote all my energies to the fight
that is Immediately in front of me
fight I know will take place, not
wild goose chase such as Wills
has led me-"
The champion had intended lay
ing off yesterday. but changed his
mind and slugged his hired men
around at Luther's pavilion for the
entertainment of another crowd.
He has decided not to leave here
until Sunday night or Monday, md
may even remain longer il his new
quarters are not ready for him by
that time.
