COMEBACK OF RENAULT
IS SPOILED BY ROJAS

KANSAS CITY, July 5 @.-The
comeback campaign Of Jack Renault.
Canadian heavyweight, which started
here last night as the feature of the
return of legalized boxing in Missouri,
ended in victory for Quintin Romero
Rojas of South America, in the opin-
ion of sports writer's.
The South American knocked Re-
nault through the ropes in the third
round and continued to carry the fight
to the Canadian for the remainder of
the 10 rounds.
Renault, who recently left the ring
for movie work, confined his efforts
for the most part to body attack,
which did not appear to bother the
Chilean Indian.

"IN can golf, sort of junior
golf game which has become
very popular with girls on the
Il local Fairgrounds, was intro
duced by Maude n. Parker, d.
rector of girls activities of the NUM-
cipal playground department Its
fame has spread abroad. Last year
Miss Parker was asked to write a
description of it, together with rules
governing play, for one of the Spald-
ing athletic guides, and since then she
has received requests from athletic
instructors as far away as California
for information concerning the sport.
The name describes the game liter
ally. The course is laid out over five
to seven holes, and each hole" is a
tin can sunk to the level of the
ground. Any natural hazards on the
playground are permitted to remain
in plotting the course, but no artificial
bunkerS, etc, are added.
Any number can play, the competi
tors pairing off as in the ordinary
match play of a golf tourney. Skinny
sticks are used instead of clubs, and
the balls are brightly colored wooden
spheres slightly smaller than the regu-
lation ball.
Tin can golf does not teach the
youthful goifer great deal about the
long game, but is a big help in develop
ing the short game, or the green shots.
Careful putting means everything in
winning at tin can golf.
If the game did nothing else, it
would be valuable for this feature
and because it cultivates an early
taste for swinging the clubs. Girls
of and 10 years have become en-
thusiastic tin can golfers on the local
Fairgrounds and doubtless many of
them will graduate into devotees of
the senior game.
Golf development among members
of the fair sex depends upon the
youthful material which can be
brought to the front. 1t is recog-
nized generally, now that golf is not
a game to be adopted in ones dotage,
but keen sport, with endless posi-
bilities for development if taken up
in early youth and played consistently
Young players are rising all over
the country, exhibiting brand of
golf which causes their more expert

Dempsey Displays Marked Form As He Trains
DEMPSEY REGAlNING
HIS S0CKING POWER

By the Associated Press.
SARATOGA LAKE. n. Y, July s.
Jack Dempsey is satisfied he again
will DC the devastating body puncher
of pre- championship days when he
touches gloves with Jack Sharkey at
the clang of the opening gong on the
night of July 81.
EaSed in mind by the rugged train

hulk on the Fourth of July years
ago.
The Dempsey of today-17 training
days before he must face the skill and
confidence of sensational YOUTHS
impressive as yet only in possibilities.
Despite the shock of recent tragedy,
Jack is carefree and playful in his
work with the campmates. He has
composure that he lacked during prep
aration for the losing battle with Gene
Tunney last Fan.
IN training Jack surprised critics
during early workouts when he chose
to sacrifice development of speed for
temporary display of seeking power.
The weaving attack of the former title
holder slowly is developing into a fast
headbowed charge that carries him
through a hail of straight hand
punches into close quarters, where he
slams away effectively with both
hands to the body

the is minutes Jack bobbed about the
ring against Dave Shade, weaving

little trouble equaling the Coast boys

WIN DOUBLES FINAL

WIMBLEDON, England, July s.
Closing day of the Wimbledon tennis
tournament found the United States
with two championships won out of
the three completed and the American
players in a good position to carry off
the remaining two to be disputed.
Following up the victory of Helen
Wills over the Spanish champion, Sen

singles finals Saturday. the American
team of William T. Tilden and Fran
els T. Hunter captured the mems
doubles championship yesterday from
the French team of Cochet and Brug-
non. who won the championship last
year. The score was 1-6, 4-6, S.,
6-3, Ga.

In the mixed doubles quarter-finals,
Hunter ard Miss Ryan won over Mr..
and Mrs. Randolph Lynett of Eng
ieiiIt, 10, DUH Tic
and finals of this class were on the
program for today.
Miss Wills was one player out of
the more than 800 who participated
in the tournament whose superiority
in her own category was most mani
fest. After a shaky first round, she
dominated her opponents to much
higher degree than did Henri Cochet,
who won The mems singles.
Despite the fact that her style is not
snowy, tennis experts say she will car
ry away from Wimbledon more gen.
uine affection than any other woman
player in the history of the birthplace
of tennis. ...

into by the tragic end of his brother

Yesterday he again was the smiling
cheerful chap of week ago and he
went into his work with a vim and a
Nigor that / was pleased to note
Briefly his workout was as follows:
On the road at am, for a jaunt of
nearly four miles, sprinting and jog
ging alternately, shadow boxing
through the last mile with pair of
small weights in his hands; floor eXer-
cises for few minutes: rub down.
Then he entertained a few visitors
in the bungalow for short time and
when they had gone he played pinochle
with Leo Flynn for a spell
The afternoons work consisted of
round with the chest weights, a
round on the little punching bag. a
round of boxing with Johnny Saxon,
one each with Dave Shade. Pete Corrie,
195-pound slugger from Australia:
Allentown Joe Cans. Eddie McMullen,
Billy Batey and Martin Burke.
Again Jacks workout was in "pri-
vate," bu this time the newspaper
men were admitted. A crowd of some
1000 persons. some of them from dis
tant places, were on hand to see the
eX-champion at work. All were
doomed to disappointment, however.
AT l o'clock word came from the
bungalow that Dempsey would work
in private. Tom Luther set to work
placing the troopers at the entrances
and on the knoll overlooking the
training ring.
Then Dempsey and Flynn sent word
to Leonard Sachs, one of their rep
resentatives, that newspapermen were
to be admitted.
When Jack appeared and started
toward the ring the crowd milled
around him and gave him what the
boys call a great ovation" They
sure did cheer him and it did Demp-
sey lot of good to have this hap
pen.
The cheers We're turned to means.

Shortly after 3. Dempsey was ready
to start. He came over to me with
a broad grin and said in that high
pitched voice of his:
Eight years ago today. Jimmy
I'd like to have it back again."
Funny thing, but that remark had
a peculiar effect on me. 1t made me
