Dempsey Shows Some
OF Former Speed In
His Workouts Monday

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, Sara
tCga Lake, July II GQ--Jack Dempsey
reached a new high water mark
today in his struggle to regain the
fighting form that carried him to
world championship eight years ago.
Grunting with every telling blow,
eyebrows knit in a fierce black scoTi,
Jack swept through six rounds of
boxing and added two more names
70 the list Of sparring partners he
has knocked out
And for the first time in his
training siege for the comeback skir-
mish with Jack Sharkey July 81,
Dempsey displayed SUFFICIENT speed TO
catch up with and cut down fairly
fast big man, equipped with nipping
left jab = the bos;oD goo's best
weapon.
Dempsey was satisfied to display
today the speed that has been absent
up to now and only against two men
did he unleash the full power Of mis-
numbing clouts: These were Chief
Metoquah, an Indian from Oklahoma,
and Marty Gallagher, of Washington,
d c., both heavyweight newcomers
to the camp. Metoquah went down
ard out from short left to the head
in two and a half minutes. Marty
was out on his feet in Dempsey's
arms when his round ended.
Four other rounds of fast work
against Dave Shade, Jack Herman,
Larry James and little Johnny Saxon
topped off the drill that included
rounds of bag punching, pulley work,
wrestling and ring calisthenics. Jack
showed little inclination to hurt these
fellows and pulled his punches when
ever the speed boys threatened to
wilt.
Tomorrow Jack will take the day
off to start the "a mile swimming
marathon on Lake George. Road
work alone is scheduled to keep
muscles Timber and wind strong.
Dempseys work was so satisfactory
to Manager Leo Flynn today that the
lay off scheduled for Thursday and
Friday probably will be replaced by
light workouts.

SHORTEST CORN
CROP IN e YRS.
IS FORECASTED

WASHINGTON, Juy IL, F,-Ihe
shortest corn crop in rs years was IN
dicatcd today by the department OF
agriculture in it's July crop report
which forecast a production oil
2,274, ,424.O00 bushels. Inc ligure is al
most half billion bushels below the
average production of the last i've
years.
"Crop prospects as a whole are lar
from promising" was the comment oil
the crop reporting poaru in It's review
of conditions while it is still TOO car
ly to forecast accurately the producC-
ion of late sown crops, the present
outlook is for very short crop OF
fruits, for a material reduction IN the
production of tobacco; for about aV-
erage production of potatoes, wheat,
sugar beetS, flax seed, and feed grams
other than corn; for rather large
crops of beans, peanuts and sweet
potatoes, and for a record production
of hay. Crop prospects are fairly good
in the western states but were un-
promising in the eastern part OF the
corn belt.
"rThe area in crops this season
shows a reduction of around seven
million acres, or two percent, below
the acreage in crops at this time last
year"
Large shifts in the relative acreage
of the various crops were noted by
the board, the largest being the SIX
million acre decrease. in cotton. the
two million acre decrease in corn and
the two million acre increase III wheat.
Low corn prices in 1926, together
with unfavorable planting conditions
were held responsible for decline OF
more than five per cent in acreage in
the north central states, which was
partially offset by increased corn
planting in the south. The corn crop
was reported late in nearly every state
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-07-12

while IN some of the most northern
states, due to late planting, only a
long growing season, it was said, would
avoid danger OF frost damage.
Winter wheat made a strong recov-
cry from the low condition of g. month
ago, and the present indicated pro-
duction 579,416,000 bushels, is 42,0O0,-
600 bushels more than forecast then.
The principal increases we're in Kan
saS and Nebraska.
The Indicated production OF spring
wheat 274,218,0OO bushels was record
cd as about 70,000000 bushels more
than last years crop and 2200000O
bushels more than the average Of the
last tive years.
Ihis years indicated total wheat
crop was placed at 853,634000 bush
els, or about 22,0O0,O0O bushels moro
than produced last year. Stocks OF
wheat on farms on July l W2re rela-
lively low, being 2l,339,000 bushels
compared with the five year average
OF 29,913,000 bushels.
An IL percent increase in the white
potato acreage was noted, with all
late potatoe states showing increases
and a total crop of 393,OOO,OOO bushels
was indicated. That is 100000 bush
els more than produced last year.
Tobacco acreage decreased four
percent. Indicated production was
placed at 1,O99,114,OOO pounds, the low
est since 1921.
Very short crops of most fruits were
indicated, with apples appearing like.
ly to be the smallest crop in 20 years
wit hthe exception of 1921, and peach
cs at about two-thirds of last years

TWO TIGER STARS FAIL

You never can tell in baseball, for
the athletes do not always run true
to form.
In the spring all of the experts in
sizing up the Detroit ball club stress
ed the Importance of the addition of
Marty McN1anus at second. Likewise,
they said many kind things about
Earl Whitehill, Tiger southpaw.
When 1 looked the Detroit club
over at San Antonio in early April
realized why so many of the travelling
scribes had enthused over McNIanus
The former second sacker of the St
Louis Browns looked in great shape
and appeared all set for big sea-
son.
Whitehill, a great southpaw, also
seemed further advanced than the
rest of the staff and expressed the
belief that he would win 20 games
for Detroit.
Manager Moriarity, in figuring his
chances, made it apparent that he
was placing much dependence in both
Whitehill and McManus.
With the season half over,
spring predictions have failed to
work out. So far it has been a

ROW MAKES GEHRINGER


Disagreements occur on every ball
club, so it was nothing out OF the
ordinary when Manager Moriarlty
took issue with Second Baseman Nc
Manus and removed him from the
lineup.
AS matter of fact, NGcN1anus is a
sort of protege of Moriarity. When
''Morrie" was made manager of the
Detroit club one of the first things
he did was to make trade for him.
knowing NcN1anus' great ability plus
the close friendship that existed be-
tween the two, he doped 1T that
Marty would play the greatest game
of his career for him.
Things failed to pan out as Man
ager Moriarity had hoped relative to
McNIanuS, but nevertheless some good
came of the rumpus between pilot
and player.
Having relegatcd McManus to the
bench, the second base job fell to
Charley Gehringer. Tt gave him the
big opportunity and he has made the
most of it. No one in either major
league is going any better at the po-
sition.
Gehringer is destined to become
one of the games greatest second
basemen. He can field, hit, run
and throw. All he needs is a lew
years experience to be an out
standing star.

CASE oF EARI. WHITEHII.L

~
The breaks must favor a pitcher
if he is to be a consistent winner
They have been going just the other
way for Earl Whitehill this year.
In several games he has been
cheated out of a victory by big
inning rally on the part of the oppo-
sition late in the game when it
seemed as if he was in. In others,
lack of timely hitting has been dis
astrous.
there are some who believe that
the weakening of Whitehill in a num-
Der of games has been caused by too
much relief work. Earl has been used
in the rescue role quite often this
year with only fair success.
Some pitchers insist that relief work
for couple of innings at high pres
sure takes more out of them than a
whole game Whitehill is listed as
such a pitcher Believe it or not.
In the recent winning streak staged
by the Tigers, the southpaW ace was
the least effective pitcher on the
staff. If he strikes his winning
stride it will mean much to the
chances of the Detroit club to finish
high in the first division.
Thus, with the season half over,
the two players figured to. keep
Detroit in the running have failed
to run true to form and the club
has suffered.
