ard Oil may feel that the battle is

Tho foregoing is a sketch, and a

WASHINGTON TINES SPORTS
TODEYS SPOR7ORIAL
BY kIrf Miller

There are two notable figures
in sportland who can be counted
on to make the best out Of any
situation-Leo j. McKiernan,
better known as Jack Kearns
and John ]. McGraw, often
called "Mugsy" for short.
Kearns has been given credit
for about rs per cent of Jack
Dempsey's success up to the
time they agreed to disagree.
Kearns did the figuring and
manipulating for the partner
ship and his quick thinking
and general alertness to every
situation no doubt had much to
do with the building of the
once great Dempsey.
If you think this is going to
be a speel about the coming
fight in Chicago, you're all
wrong; it is going to be an
observation on the present
fight in the National League,
and that's where McGraw
comes in.
Whenever and wherever Nc
Graw or Kearns are in tight
places, they usually wiggle out,
and each has been in many such
spots. Those sentiments, in
effect, constituted our answer
to a casual acquaintance who
inquired as to our views on the
