"a DIR. Peoria, comes to bat
III from far across the seas.
He brings up an old subject to
say that Jack Dempsey needs a
''punch-proof' nose-the doctors
own invention.
Doc says his noses are made OF
ivory and silver wire, which are
more durable thap Jacks present
made.over one. The Vienna sur
geon believes Dempsey's paraf-
fin nose lessons his chances
against Tunney. Doc probably
doesn't know anything about it,
but that doesn't make any differ
ence.
After a subject gets so old it
becomes new again. Nobody has
said anything about Jacks nose for
a long time. DIR. Peoria mot of
Illinois, must have picked up an
old newspaper somewhere. This
may start the nose business all
over again.
The latest song in indianapolis
is the Kansas City Blues. 1t is
sung at Washington Park, but
not a popular melody and, thank
goodness, cannot last long. The
Blues depart after Saturdays
game.
r=7HE Three-I Leaguers are
having a tight little pen
- nant race and one of the
Hoosier teams was tied for first
place after Thursdays games.
Evansville by a victory W
Peoria was deadlocked at the top
with the Illinois club before to-
days contests.
Six teams in the loop r owe
800. All have a chance at the flag
with the leaders not far ahead
with a percentage of .565. Terre
Haute, the other Indiana club, is
fourth with .53S per cent in the
standings.
Prestige is everything. The
horses are swarming at Saratoga
track, which opened today. At q
Chicago only sever are to try
for a 100000 prize in the Amer
lean Derby at the new Washing
ton Park track.
rs just one thing after
another at Culver Military
- academy. With the State
Junior golf tourney just completed,
along comes the western boys and
juniors open clay court tennis
tourney at the Indiana school
starting Monday.
Stars of ten States have entered
the meet, including Emmett Pare,
national Junior clay court cham
pion. Four Pacific coast juniors
will compete.
k
Strange are the ups and downs
of a baseball players life. Roger
Peckinpaugh seems to be mostly
up. The New York Yankees sent
the veteran s%hortstOp to Wash
ington and the Senators immedi-
ately won two pennants with the
accompanying lucrative return
for the players in the world
series.
Now the Yanks want Peck
have claimed him by the waiver
route-and Roger may get in
on another world series melon
cutting.
T~1HE open season for hunting
squirrels in Indiana begins
- on Aug. /, Under laws of
this State squirrels may be killed
from Aug. 1 until Dec. /. There is
no bag limit and they may be sold
in the open season for food. AS
Aug. 1 falls on Sunday this year
and as it is unlawful to hunt on
Sunday the season is reality starts
next Monday.
1t is reported that squirrels are
plentiful this year. Quails also
have increased wonderfully. One
sees them almost always while
driving along the country roads.
Johnny WeissmulIer, aquatic
star, is reported engaged to be
married. 1t is to be hoped that
thing go along swimmingly with
the couple.
= If it's not one thing it's another
In baseball. At the start of the
year the Chicago Cubs were crash
ing the ball hard and the pitchers
were not delivering. Now, the
hurlers are going great and the
hitters can not get 'em safe. No
wonder managers get gray-haired.
