TDNNEY MAKES
BEST SHOWING
ON LAST DAY

SPECULATOR, N. Y, Aug. 81 tP-
Winding up the preliminary session of
training for his first title defense Gene
Tunney today sped through the fast
est workout of his days in Speculator.
It was the final official appearance of
the heavyweight champion here be-
fore the match with Jack Dempsey in
Chicago next month. Tunney will
leave for the battle ground tomorrow
to finIh training.
Critics at the camp who have
watched Gene since his arrival here
several weeks ago were certain the big
marine has never exceeded his show
ing today After three rounds of warm
drill on the light punching bag,
Tunney worked three rounds with
Chuck Wiggin and two with Billy
Vidabeck. "a
Tuuaney met Wiggin's crafty and ex-
tensive style with an impregnable de-
ferlse The champion jolted with cuts
and laughed at Wiggin's snorts and
terrifying facial contortionSA and
speared him Justify with left and right
hooks to. the head whenever he took
seriously to the business in hand.
Against Vidabeck Tunney practiced
countering with rights to the head
afser jabbing Billy off balance.
Tunney appeared much faster than
in previous workouts, the timing of
his punches was cleaner, and blows he
sought to drive home cracked sharply
into the target. Genes weight today
was about 191 pounds.

saying that Cuyler isn't the first big
league star to have healthy fine
plastered on him.
Cuyler as I know him, is a mighty
fine chap 1t is my thought that or
dinarily he would seldom do anything
on the field that would call for fine.
But after all, Cuyler is only human.
Star players are those who run out
every hit at full speed, even though
their effort is but puny tap to
the pitcher. The star always slides
into the base, when by so doing he
believes he can beat a play.

Taking money in the form of
a fine has always been one way
to- penalize a ball player who fails
to, follow managerial instructions.
1t makes him remember.
McGraw Strict Disciplinarian..

McGraw Strict Disciplinarian.
John McGraW has been one OF the
games greatest managers because his
word is law and he brooks no inter-
ference.
In the world series of 1912 between
New York. and Boston, umpiring the
bases, 1 heard him tell Chief Myers
that he wanted him to dig for the
plate on any fly ball hit to the out
field. New York wanted one run
badly
one was out at the time and when
the batter hit pop fly to iris
Speaker, a great thrower, not more
than SO feet back of second, it SEEM
ed suicide for the slow going Myers
to try to score.
Starting for the plate he turned
back when Speakers throw seemed
certain to cut him down by 20 feet
if he went through with it. How
ever, the ball took a bad bound and
got away from Catcher Cady. Myers
could have scored had he continued
on to the plate.
McGraW was in tantrum at third.
In strong words I heard him tell
Myers the slip would cost him a
hundred bucks. 1t was a matter OF
discipline with McGraW. Myers had
disobeyed and must be penalized.
I, Always fair, McGraw never failed
to remit a fine if the player took his
medicine graciouSly and sought to
make amends. No doubt Myers got

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81 R-Irving
Hadley, a recruit, pitched Washington
to a S to 3 victory over Philadelphia
today, smashing jinx that has
hovered over the Senators for an
even dozen defeats that tumbled them
from the runner up club to fourth
place position.
Washington failed to use the "lot-
terry" lineup that Manager Harris
started against Chicago several days
ago in a game terminated by rain.
The young manager said the new
lineup, selected by drawing lots, had
broken the jinx by appearing in un.-
form once.
In today's game, which marked the
Senators first home contest since
the disastrous road trip, Hadley
handed out ten bases on balls and
hit one batter
Goslin took the lead in returning
the Senators to the winning column
by pounding out his 18th homer Of
the year and also o triple. .
The game also celebrated Ty Cobb's
start on his 23rd year in the Amer
lean league. He punlmeled out one
