Hollywood, Calf. Feb. l9 P'-- Motion picture productions and the title under which they are shown occupy positions with relation 10 each other during tho progress of development vrry similar to the proyorbial cart and horso.

CLAIM JUNIOR TITLE

The White Stars, by defeating the
Flying Eagles yesterday, lay claim to
the baseball championship in the IS
year old class. The game ended in

score and was a bitter battle all the
way through. The Stars played like
champs and except for few errors,
the losers did the same. Gowalczyk
starred at the bat while Golas pitch
ed a neat game. Sepk starred at bat
for the Flying Eagles. The batter
les were: White Stars-Gowalczyk
Zduniski and Golas; Flying Eagles
Barney, Macora and Eddie. The
White Stars are willing to defend
their claim to the title against any
team in thee ity. Games may be Sc

MANAGERS DISCUSS
BASEBALL SERIES
Whether Red S0Z and Falcons
Will Meet to Be Decided Friday

No decision has yet been reached
by Managers John Tobin and Joe
Veniskl regarding a series between
their respective baseball clubs, but
at a meeting between the two and
representatives of the club last night
in the Herald" both expressed
themselves as favorably inclined to
the project.
The thing that held up the dis
cussion more than anything else
was the defeat suffered by the Fall
cons against Kensington Sunday
afternoon. Had the Falcons taken
three straight games from the Ken
sington crew, that would have left a
few Sunday dates open for the
teams to count on. kensington,
however, won and as the dates Of
both the Falcons and the Red SoX
are taken up with Kensington and
neither manager can expect Mana
ger Buckley of Kensington to cancel
any part of his agreement with
them, Managers Tobin and Veniski
could find no Sunday dates open for
their games if they are to be played.
Regarding the split of the pro-
ceeds, the subject that broke up the
almost perfect lineup of the three
teams after the first meeting, Man
ager Veniski stated that his club
had not changed its mind regard
ing this matter but that he would
be glad to talk 1t over with them at
a practice session next Thursday
night Manager Tobin made it plain
that he would not consent to any
thing but an orthodox split and 1t
NAV be that the two will go to the
mat on this question again.
Thu two spoke about starting La
Dor Day for the first ga---e. Inc
managers feel that this would be
an attraction that would draw a
large crowd. The remaining games
would probably be played on Satur-
day afternoons.
Manager Veniski will talk over
these matters with his players at the
nractice session at st. Mary's field
Thursday night and he will again
meet Manager Tobin Friday night TO
inform him of the decision OF the
Falcons.

DEMPSEY TO HAVE
ONE-DAY VACATION
Heavyweight Champion Fearful
Of Going Stale Before Fight

Atlantic City. Aug. 81 R-Jacll
Dempsey is planning a 24-hour va
cation. The worlds heavyweight
champion, after today's workout,
will step into a night and day with
nothing to do except what he wishes.
There is no reason for the lay off
except that the champion believes
himself entitled to a day of recre-
alton once week, like any other
laboring man. He has been going
for seven consecutive days here, and
fears he will become trifie stale If
he does not take a little rest.
The fight is nearly a month
away" Dempsey said today, 'and
would be foolish to train every day
and tune up as If 1 were to step into
the ring with Tunney next week. AS
a matter of fact, l could get into
shape for a short fight within q
weeks time, and | intend to make
this one short, but do not intend to
overtrain."
Dempsey's tremendous nervous
force drives him to work with such
energy as few other fighters have
ever shown in a training camp. He
likes it because it is an outlet for his
pentup vitality.
Wilson and others In the camp
will very carefully put the brakes
on any tendency toward too much
work. One or two days layoffs will
r., a
whenever they feel that the cham
pion is getting a bit fine.
At present Dempsey only has
about five or six pounds at, the most
of excess flesh, and this must be
carefully conserved to avoid his en-
tering the ring on September 49,
overdrawn and under weight. The
one day vacations are and important
part of the conservation campaign.
The champion worked impressive
ly yesterday, taking five sparrins
partners on for a round apiece. He
looked more like the savage, scowl-
ing Dempsey of old, and caused
Harry Greb, former worlds middle
weight champion, to switch his opin-
ion in avor of Dempsey. Previously
Greb had favored Tunney. He said,
however, that unless Dempsey scored
a knockout within three or four
rounds, Tunney might be returned
the winner on points.
Jack Schram. veteran middle
weight of Louisville, Ky, who aspir-
ed to take a few smacks at Demp-
sey. Is on his way back to the Blue
Grass state today without having
achieved his ambition, Jack showed
up at the camp yesterday, but re-
manned less than Is minutes. With
in that time, he had peeled off his
shirt, revealing lighthouse and q
battleship tatooed on his breast, but
displayed no fighting ability.
Dempsey, instead of giving Schram
a trial himself, sent him into the
ring with Charley Anderson, the 212
pound negro from Chicago. Ander.
son cuffed him around, with Demp-
sey looking on from the sidelines. He
quickly decided that Schram would
| be no opposition.

A fight to Dust Pittsburgh from

waging hotly the past two days,
In the St. Louis ball yard, so far has

Thousands of Cardinal fans, storm
ing the park in the hope of seeing
st. Louis climb over the Pirates
from third place to their first pen

vhite-hot battles, but no change In

Cincinnati alone has drawn benefit
from the warfare and now stands In

a full game back of the Buccaneers.
Sunday the Pirates invaded the
west for the five vital contests with
81. Louis and at the end of ten
muddy rounds were obliged to accept

double contest and at the end OF the
day each sported victory.

Enthusiasm is growing daily in the
camp of N. B. H. s. football follow
ers and SUDDEN a. the date for the
annual call for candidates for the
Red and Gold squad approaches. Al.
though only three of the II that
started the memorable Hartford
game last fall are to return to school
at its opening next Tuesday, there
viii be an abundance of material
from the second team to form the
nucleus o. the aggregation.
Announcement has been made by
Coach George M. Cassidy at his farm
in Poultney, Vermont, that the same
system which he used in basketball
will be tried in football this year. He
will gather the largest squad pos
sible and hold it together In several
teams for tho entire season. This
system worked successfully in bask-
etball and resulted in the teams
winning 10 out of IL contests and
also the triangular and state cham
pionship.
Because of the fact that the team
had to be broken up in the middle
of the season because of mid year
graduation and despite it continued
to win during the remainder of the
season, it was apparent to "Cass" .
that his system was working success
fully. He is confident he will get the
same results in football this year.
The veterans who played on the
regular team last year around whom
the team will be built this fall, are
Captain Tim Claire. "Ferpo" Ansel-
mo and Harold Bruce. T. last two
named with Fred Zehrer started the
Hartford game and are ready and in
condition TO battle for their places
this year. With Claire, Bruce and
Anselmo OF the regulars; Zehrer.
Conley, Bromberg. "Reo" Matulis
Garston. Gordon, McGrath and John
Erickson of the substitute team. and
Albert Fengler. "Moniue" Zalesk,o.
"Huggy" Carlson. John Howard, ..
Donald Mcclure. Szabo. Grzybowski
James Scully and Jack Mcclure, new
material out for the team, the coach
should have formidable squad TO
work with.
Claire played quarterback last
year and will probably hold down
that position again. Anselmo played
tackle and Bruce guard. The former
willprobably stay at tackle. and the
latter will. either play tackle or
guard. He will stay at guard. it is
expected, If Bromberg should play
tackle. This trio is almost certain
to holddown three out of the four
guard and tackle jobs,
Mac" McGrath. understudy to
Roger Scully at center is expected TO
take over the position during the
coming campaign. He will meet op-
position from John Erickson.
Others trying out for the middle
of the line will be Conley, Scully.
Garston and Jack Mcclure. Those
who are expected to try for the end
and backfield positions are Fengler,
Howard, Szabo, Zaleski. Carlson,
IGrzvbowski anS Donald Mcclure.
The advan d dope places team
something like this on the field: Nc

Jack Dempsey has ruled the pu-
gilistic parapet longer than any
heavyweight champion in history.
Jack has been on the throne more
than seven years. That's quite a
span in any athletic endeavon
Ranking next to Dempsey is Jack
johnson. the gold-toothed colored
boy. johnson led the pasade a
little less than seven years, or from
December, 1908, to April, 1915.
He Then Retired
Jim Jeffries perched atop the lad
der from 1899, when he whipped
the lanky Bob Fitzsimmons.- until
1905, when he retired because of
lack of formidable challengers. or
challengers of any type for that
matter.
In 1910 Jeff was enticed out of
retirement, however, going down to
defeat before. johnson, who two
years before had handed Tommy
Burns terrible trouncing. Burns
came into the honor in 1906 by
beating Marvin Hart who had been
given Jeffs title after stopping Jack
Root.)
OF the other heavyweight kings,
Jim Corbett held the title five years.
Corbett shocked, startled and other
wise upset the pugilistic fraternity
by putting the great John l.. Sulli-
van, affectionately referred to as the
Boston Strong Boy" out of COM
mission in FL rounds at New Or
leans in 1892.
In 1897 Corbett met the RUBY
Robert" Fitzsimmons in their
memorable battle at Carson City,
Nevada. In the fourteenth session
Fitz came through with his famous
Solar plexus' punch and Corbett's
star went out.
Two years after winning the
crown Fitz tackled the young giant,
Jim Jeffries, bcilermaker by trade,
Jeff was too tough for the frail
Fitzsimmons, and in the eleventh
round Bob was kayoed-the title, of
course, passing to Jeff.
Jeffries met them all for the next
few years-Sharkey, Fitz, Corbett
(twce), Jack Monroe and so on.
He beat every opponent sent against
him and then, as mentioned, retired.
WILLARD in 1915
jess Willard, the mastodon from
the Kansas plains. reached the top
heights at Havana, Cuba, in. 1915.
Willard stopped the Big Smoke,
Jack Johnson, on that occasion.
He did it in IS rounds. From then
until the Dempsey brush at Toledo
in 1919 Willard strutted around as
the champion of the universe.
The famous clash at Toledo is
still fresh in the minds of fistic
followers. Jack, outweighed by
nearly so pounds and resembling a
midget pitted against the Willard
hulk, all but knocked out the cham
pion in the first round. AS it was
Dempsey gave Willard such beat
ing in three sessions Jess was I'M
able Cor didn't care) to come out
for the fourth round.
What About Dempsey?
Starting with the famous John L.
| Sullivan we find the heavyweight
kings ruled their division in this
| fashion: Sullivan, two years; Cor
bett, five; H'itzsimmons, two; JEFF
fries, six; Burns, two; Johnson, six;
Willard, four, and Dempsey, seven
/ to date.
Now the big question concerning
the fanfock is: VIII Dempsey con-
tinue as emperor of the pugilistic
domain, or will he follow Sullivan,
Corbett, Fitzsimmons and the rest
into fistic oblivion?
It will all be answered September
% when the champion goes into the
ring in his 10-round titular battle
with Gene Tunney eX-marine and
foremost challenger, for the crown
so long held by the "Manassa
Mauler."
