His Shoulder Out,
Van Alstyne May
Be Done for Year

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.CIayton
Van Alstyne, the Griffs' young
pitcher, who injured his left
shoulder before yesterdays
game at Comiskey Park, has
been found to be suffering from
a dislocation and may. be done
with baseball for the year.
Van Alstyne was hurried to
Mercy Hospital shortly after
tumbling while trying to catch
a fly ball in the outfield. He
remained there all night, and
x-ray pictures were taken.
Today those pictures showed
a separation between the shout
der. and arm. The injured hurler
will have his injury dressed
and he will accompany the
squad to Washington tonight.
Walter Johnson also met with
a mishap in yesterdays game
while running to first base in
the third inning. He strained
his right leg and was unable TO
continue. He went back to
Washington last night.

I never heard of either of them
before, which may be a compliment,
at that. The fourth victim was Bill
Marshall and it may be that none
of us ever will hear of him again.
Marshall is a Chicago policeman
and possibly that qualified him for
the job. Anyhow, he was knocked
down twice with a right to the jaw
and several lefts to the body and
only finished the round on toler-
ance. Mccain was on the ropes
in the first minute of play from a
left and right to the head, after
which Dempsey ran through signals
with him. Christner showed moth
ing except lot OF respect for
Dempsey's punch and was doing a
great time trial all the way.
Kruger took q bad beating without
having anything to offer by way Of
rejoinder.
There had been considerable
criticism Of the calibeP Of some
sparring partners at the Saratoga
camp. But even the worst of
these was a champion compared
with the four on view yesterday.
Therefore, what price looking?
The workout showed Dempsey
to be punch but every one
knew that, anyhow. 1t didn't
show, rs also was the case at
Saratoga, whether this puncher
would be able to score against
a first-class man nor did It af-
ford anyone even the faintest
idea of whether Gene Tunneys
on the night OF the twenty
second, would make any Of the
serious mistakes that Jack
Sharkey made last month.
Against such partners, too, there
is no known way of guessing
whether Dempsey's legs, the abid.
ing factor in this fight, will be
any better against Tunney than
they. proved to be against Sharkey.
You hear lot out here Of Demp-
sey's new style, but that is only a
good laugh to those who knew
Dempsey at Toledo and Jersey City.
II he really has q new style. II
would seem just too bad that he
wasn't able To keep the old one.
He would be an odds-on choice ii
that case.

that the Virginians won by scant

rooter of Roanoke College fancied
the gritty playing Of one Of the
visitors. The young lady was
Cecilia Garry.
] At the termination OF the game,
she sought the players identity
and an immediate Introduction was
effected. That night, Lynch, in
company with two other Catholic

Garry's home. The meeting has
