T=1UD TAYLOR of Terre Haute
X finally is going to get his
81 chance at the bantam title.
The Hoosier has been chasing
Charley Phil Rosenberg for a long
time and finally has caught him.
The two are scheduled to meet at
the Cubs baseball park, Chicago,
on Sept. IS.
According to the Illinois boxing
laws the bout will go ten rounds
to a referees decision. The weight
is 11S pounds and the title is at
stake.
The battle is on. There doesn't
seem much chance for slip. Pro-
moter Jim Mullen has signed both
boys and the forfeit money and
contracts are in the hands Of the
Illinois athletic commission.
A number Of Indianapolis fans
are planning to make the trip.
They want to be on hand to see
a native Hoosier crowned king Of
the bantams.
Don't let that story about
"Pop" Ederle's summer home
confuse you. The summer
home" is a two-room bungalow.
Several like it may be found
around Broad Ripple on White
River.
INDIANAPOLIS is a rather
/ peculiar city. 1t does not
let the fact that it is very
much inland interfere with being
interested in water sports.
National swimming meets are
held at Broad Ripple pool, and we
notice that some of Dodge's high
speed motor boats are equipped
with Duesenberg engines from the
local factory.
Wade Morton, the Duesenberg
auto race driver, piloted the
Baby Watercar at Manhasset
Bay, N. Y, during the gold cup
regatta in the Dodge memorial

plenty of thrills when his boat
turned over while going at about
sixty miles an hour.
A press dispatch said that Nor
ton knew the boat was likely to
tip at high speed because of the
position of the motor, but took
chance"
Expectation is half the pleas
ure in most anything. The fight
fans had better make the most
of this phase of the Dempsey
Tunney battle. 1t won't last
long once the two get into the
ring. Did some one ask which
one would be on his feet at the
end of the entertainment?
That's q funny question.

lucky enough to run across 1t.
The lines of wisdom were print

Night. a weekly paper. 1t was
reproduced in American Lawn

in which publication we spied it.

ing bantering lines:
Suzanne, you shock us, you really
truly knock us,
BY being a professional in sport.
To think that they are paying a
girl like you for playing,
Who long. have been your fam
ily's support
My goodness, dearie, aren't you a
little leary
= OF being a professional like
Grange?
When you have changed your rat
ing, can you keep people
waiting?
Won't customers feel it's a lit.
tie strange?
Suzanne, start thinking! There is
no use in blinking
A point on which a lady must
make sure.
The course that you are taking,
will you at that be making
AS much as when you were an
amateur?
Just how long will some Of the
sports writer's continue to call AL
fred Chaplin the protege of Bill
Tilden? The young man is grown
up, even has a wife, and seems
very capable Of taking care Of
himself.
Tilden and Chaplin are in the
finals of the national doubles tour
ney. It's about time to begin
calling Alfred a partner-not a
protege.
