CREDIT HORNSBY
 FOR GIANT RISE
McGraW Left Rogers in Charge
 While He Hunted Ivory

New York, Aug. 2 UP)-strange as it would have seemed just few weeks ago, the New York Giants are in the running for the National League pennant. Stranger yet, the floral wreath for the rally which has brought the team within strik- ing distance of the leaders is being placed around the neck of Rajah Hornsby.
 Short lived is the fame of the master mind" when it is not mas ter minding
 John McGraw, with a great am- hition to celebrate his silver anni- versary as manager of the Giants with another pennant. became so discouraged with the showing of his club that be left the team and went on a hunting expedition for new ivory through the bush league belt.
 He left the team in charge Of Hornsby. feeling perhaps that the boys could do no worse for the field captain than they had done for their manager, He had allowed Hornsby to handle the team several times earlier in the season without attending disasters and he went so far s 10 say in St. Louis that Horns by would get the team when he stepped down,
 IL vas not with raised heads and high spots that the Giants departed for a swing through the western belt where the Pirates, the Cubs, the Cards and the Reds were wait ing for them with a wholesome ap- petite for soft food.
 New York, all worked un over the Yankees and Babe Ruth and Buster Gehrig gave up hope in the Giants and found satisfaction in the conviction that at least one end of the worlds series would be played here
 And then the Giants started win ming for Hornsby while the Cubs, the Pirates and the Cardinals were being whittled down to the Giants size, The ball Hornsby has the Giants playing is the current sensa- ton of the major leagues and fl seems that those who counted out the Giants gave them a short count or that the bell saved them when they were on the floor.

RICHARD WILLING
 TO CHANCE DATE
Dempsey Says He Won't Be | Ready Before September 22

Chicago. Aug. 2 R-A threaten l ing monkey wrench. tossed from Los Angeles to Chicago. ricocheted harmlessly off the championship fight machinery of Tex Rickard ear ly today without leaving event a dent.
 Jack Dempsey did the tossing, his missile being a statement that he l could not possibly be ready to meet Gene Tunney in their 10 round heavyweight title match at Soldier Field here September 15-the date Rickard had set.
 Three minutes after Dempsey's statement had been received here Rickard assured newspapermen that there would be no dispute over the date; that he knew all about Demp sey's attitude and that everything was all right.
 "I won't be ready until September c2 at the earliest" said Dempsey in Los Angeles. and I would rather have September 29 as the date"
 To which Rickard replied:
 Tt makes no difference to me I chose September 15 merely to per init George Getz, my Chicago ally, to get away September 2i on trip to Africa he had planned. How ever, he is willing to stay over and help me out on September 2e, If necessary. and so we probably will stage the fight on that date"
 Dempsey's objection to the Sep tember Is date was that his wife Estelle Taylor, Is i'll, her condition being such that her physicians have advised her not to attempt the trip to Chicago, for another ten days or two weeks.
 Rickard said there Is nothing on his contract to compel Dempsey to fight Tunney September 15. He added, however, that he is confident Dempsey will withdraw his objec- ton to that date after the situation has been explained to him. Rickard expected to communicate with Dempsey by telephone during the day.
 Word of Dempseys attitude came several hours after Rickard had made definite announcement that the fight would be put on in Soldier Field here.
 The last detail in the preliminary preparation for bringing the fight here was on Richards program to- day-obtaining the approval of the state athletic commission.
 The warmth of the boxing com. missions invitation to Rickard. ever before the Sharkey- Dempsey fight precluded any possibility of a hitcf in the arrangements. George r Getz, the big coal man sponsoring Richards debut in Chicago, al ready has made formal application for the promoters license to meet the requirements of the Illinois law restricting these licenses to bona fide residents.
 The South Park board, which con. trols Soldier Field. voted to yes. terday to permit the use of the field for the fight.
 One stipulation was that the Chi cago newspapers operating radio stations be allowed to broadcast de. scriptions of the fight, and to this Rickard agreed. The board charged Rickard sl0o,o00 for the use of thu Stadium for one night and request cd an indemnity bond of $100,oo0 which Rickard agreed to.
 To make the fight comply strictl! with the letter of the Illinois boxing law. Tunney and Dempsey expected to sign new contracts with Getz a! the matchmaker, and these will be assigned to Rickard for a nomina consideration which, 1t is under stood. Getz will turn over to som, charity.

preservation though there are few
traces of color. The massive pile of
stone is fronted by six Hathor-headed
columns and the sides of the temple
itself are covered with reliefs of the
gods and kings engaged in various
ceremonies. A splendid view of the
Nile Valley is gained from the top of
the temple, which is reached by
narrow stone stairway winding up in
the thick walls. The whole vicinity
of the temple is a mass of fragments
of rock and old brick and in places the
ragged ruins of old Roman walls are

boat before reaching Luxor, when the
peace of the afternoon and the quiet
progress of the craft was interrupted
by the hustle of suppressed excitement
among the natives below and by the
smell of smoke. The noise increased
and so did the smoke. There was
fire in the stores, and at the Bleaching
of the boat some rushed to their state
rooms to prepare their baggage for
hasty debarkation, and others watched
the bucket brigade at work and saw
various packages of provisions thrown

smoke dwindled and ceased and tea
was served on deck as calmly as ever
and only ten minutes late.

for the fine preservation of the reliefs
