PROSECUTOR FLAYS
 HIS OWN WITNESS
Says Cia9ci Committed Perjury
 on Stand

T have no use for such a man, who goes on the witness stand and commits perjury" declared Prose- cutting Attorney J. G. Woods in po lice court this morning, referring to Paul Cianci of S46 Stanley street, who testified in the case of Paul listro, aged 30, of 265 Myrtle street, who was charged with viola ion of the rules of the road as the result Of q collision at the inter- section of Stanley and East Main streets about 4:3o o'clock last Sat urday afternoon. CianCi, though sub poenaed by the state, gave testimony favorable to the defense and said hat Thomas w. Hennessy Of 54 Grove street, whose car was struck by Listro's truck, was driving too fast at the time of the collision. Judge Sake found Listro guilty and fined him s and costs. Attorney Albert A. Greenberg represented him. Officer Clarence Kumm made ;he arrest.

 Arsene Boucher, aged 19, of 143 Washintgon street, was discharged on the charge of reckless driving and fined $50 and costs with $25 remit ted on the charge of evading respon- sibility after collision with q car owned by William Kaulakaitis Of south Windsor and driven by An thony KrowsM of the same place on Hartford Road last night.
 According to the testimony Of Kaulakaitis and KroWski and Of ficers David Doty, G. ". 1Jollborg and William J. McCarthy, Boucher was driving towards New Britain about 12:30 o'clock and the car he struck was going in the opposite di- rection.
 Marks on the roadway showed that Houcher's car was on the wrong side of the highway but he claimed one of the tires on his car was flat and made considerable noise so that he heard only a slight report of the impact. Thinking no damage had resulted he continued without stop PII4S btl tllt oN|u plillo bl tue CNItI car pursued him, overriding him near Ibelle's corner, about half a mile from the scene of the collision.
 Boucher admitted he had a few glasses of wine but he was perfect ly sober, he said. Had he thought damage had resulted he would have stopped. Judge SaXe remarked that there was no question in his mind but that Boucher was guilty of the charge Of evading responsibility but the evidence did not substantato the reckless driving charge.
 James May, aged 19, of 193 Cherry street, who was riding with Boucher, pleaded guilty to the charge of drunkenness and was fined S10 and costs.

NEW YORK. July with the

loud speaker from Boston late this
afternoon, the ballyhoo for the
Dempsey-Sharkey alteration will be
turned on full blast.
The garrulous COB is talking as
confidently as he did before the
Staying of Edward James Maloney,
his Boston rival.
Sharkey does not sneer openly
at Dempsey as he did at Ma
lOney, because he has great re-
Spect for the old Manassas
mauler, who was a dominating
ring figure when the young
sailor was fistic nobody In the
Navy. The heroes of bOyhOOd
and early manhood command
that sort of respect. The hero
wOrshipper never quite gets
over his awe of them.
Sharkey and Maloney personally
disliked each other. There is no
such feud between Sharkey and
Dempsey The youngster is smart
enough to realize that Dmpsey
trying to regain throne will be
the popular figure at the Yankee
Stadium on the night of July 81.
He also knows that a campaign of
vituperation against Dempsey would
be entirely out of place.

NEW YORK, July TN knock

Tunney and beat him to the de-
cision."
The author of this ambitious state
ment was William Harrison Demp-
sey. the man of Stern resolve. He
made IT as he left for his Saratoga
training camp in the presence of a
half dozen witnesses and one Of them
repeated it verbatim, more or less, to
the writer today.
The remark. II correctly inter-
pTeted, places Dempsey ON rec

which he Is about to engage.

anyhow. no man could get as far as
a title shot without being good.
Dempsey has changed. All of his
friends and acquaintance raped to
that fact an soon as the ex-champion
appeared in the East. The aItera-
ton Is more psychological than
mental or physical. The Dempsey OF
the old days no longer is boy with
the body OF a man. He has Sobered
and grown up above the eyebrows,
and he speaks his mind il he feels
the urgt. Evidently he felt it on the
occasion of his departure.

uEally have to pay his way in like
the rest of the saps on the night
Of the 21st.
The young mans great chance.
as see 1t, will come in the first
few minutes of play when Sharkey
may be a trifle uncertain and Demp-
sew will be fresh and fast and young
again. And IL he goes out there
swinging as he should. it will be a
great fight while it stays with us,
which won't be long.
Dempsey's chance is that of any
hitter. You fan Ruth the first
three times he faces you and then
on the fourth he hits the ball off
the permises and you lose the ball
game. Dempsey will have that
chance for so seconds of every min.
ute the fight lasts.

The Yanks have a big edge over
some of us because of their trick
park" were his words. 1T Is built
for them and they have big adj
vantage because they play half
their games there while each other
club is limited to eleven. Our ad.
vantage, therefore, is cut down be-
cause it is scattered among seven
clubs
The veterans on the Washington
club have been mulling over the
Chicago managers words ever since
the other clubs should so recon-
struct their parks as to cut down
some Of this advantage now en-
joyed by the Yankees.
We're not taking a thing away
from Ruth and Gehrig," is the way
one Washington veteran phrases
it. "Most Of their home runs would
be home runs anywhere. That's
granted at the start. but consider
the situation outside OF those birds.
"YOu saw Muddy RueI hit q
home run i'm the Yankee stadium
Tuesday. Would that have been
home run in Boston, Cleve-
land, Washington, DetrOit-welI,
In any other park in the league?
I'm Boston 1t might have
bounded back off the fence for two
bases, but it might have been held
to a single by good throw, It
would have been caught easily in
any other park in the circuit. The
way those box seats curve around
and cross the foul line gives the
Yankees big edge. For one thing
the fans frequently interfere with
visiting fielders but let MeuseI reach
over and make catches. Though
III admit that isn't frequent enough
to make Us howl too much"
1t is we'll to look over the Of
fetal measurements of the left
fields Of all the clubs, which fol-
lows: New York, $50 feet seven
inches: Washington, 1853 feet; Bos.
ton, 800 feet six inches; Chicago.
1856 feet; Detroit, $40 feet seven
inches; Cleveland. 37S feet; Phila.
delphia, s12 feet; st. Louis, S55
feet.
In New York the fence in front
of these field boxes is waist high,
permitting the easiest sort of a
bounce to hop among the Gus.
toners. In no other American
League park is this so. Boston
has As foot fence perched atop
a bank fully 80 feet high. In St.
Louis the fence is some 90 feet
high, but it is also IS feet farther
from the plate than New York's,
Detroit's left field fence is not any
higher than that in st. Louis, but
1t is so feet farther from the plate
than New York's.
Right field measurements are as
follows: New York, 294 feet 9
inches; Washington, 1928 feet: Bos.
ton, 1858 feet six inches; Chicago.
365 feet; Detroit, $40 feet IL inches:
Cleveland, 290 feet; philadelphia,

veteran. Each should reconstruct
his own park to give his team equal
chances with the Yankees, or
ground rules should be adopted
limiting drives over that low left
field fence in New York to two
bases. The fans would probably
battle against the use of screens
in front of them, although you

them.

While / was in Atlantic City the
world was full of fellows who were
my friends, who meant well-and yet
confused my own plans. Because
they didn't regard Gus as a real
heavyweight in the matter of train
ing; because they looked upon Jerry
as little more than a rubber and be-
cause they felt 1 didn't know much
about conditioning myself-well,
they took it upon themselves to act

ferent plans for defeating Tunney. 1

intentions. but with about 20 fellows
coming to me each day telling what

had me skating around in circles.

But so far as am concerned,
am taking advice and orders only
from Flynn. What he says goes;
what the other fellows, who are my
friends and want to help me, have
to say, can be told to Flynn.
MY fistic future now is largely in
Flynn's hands. | regard him as one

strong points. And he has seen
Jack Sharkey mad knows the best
way for me to battle him to insure
victory for myself.
When decided upon a "come.

success. Now that I have Flynn, the

Newell, feel doubly confident.
Tomorrow Dempsey will tell of
the punch he's developing for
