DEMPSEY TO WIN
IN Three ROUNDS
EX-Champion Predicts Victory if
Fight Goes the Limit
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
L. =. Staff Correspondent

White Sulphur Springs, N. Y,
July IS (UP)-"Not more than three
rounds l figure, but if it should have
to 60 the limit, I'll win the decision
easily because l know I can go Is
rounds fast enough to VIM"
This was one OF those before-the-
battle statements Jack Dempsey gave
to the writer in his camp here to-
day, where he is tapering off in the
training that is designed to trans
form hollow shell" into the fight
ing man of Toledo in 1919.
Where do you get that hollow
shell stuff" Dempsey asked in his
cottage. do you think 1 can take
it? Punch me there. Punch me any
place, and think l can take it! Am
l an old man? I'm as young as
Babe Ruth and l know I can swing
and punch just as well as the Babe
can in his own racket"
And if you care to take the word
of your correspondent, Dempsey can
still punch. He delivered a playful
little blow under the heart that al
most stopped this story from being
written.
Dempsey certainly looks WELL He
looks much trimmer than he did
when he was working in preparation
for his fights against Firpo and Tun-
ney, and it is quite obvious that he
hasn't the mental annoyances OF the
worries that he had when he was
approaching that wet, rain-soaked
fight in Philadelphia last fall.
After this correspondent had been
kept safely away from q barbed wire
fence with locked gate, guard
ed by a couple of state troopers and
a detecti--: or so. Leo Flynn emery
ed from the mystery house in which
Dempsey is living.
Leo had just polished off his golf
gloves and had neglected to polish off
a well sun-burnt nose.
What do you guys vant?" said
the Leo.
Where's your fighter" the cor
respondents asked.
Iiti W dlt, dlSN Leo.
where's TIL fghter?" Leo was
asked again.
We'll" Leo came back. eff you
will wait until some of these eggs
around here and some of these tour
lists leave, you can see the fighter"
And after the eggs left and
after the tourists had left few
friends o. the hollow shell" We're
permitted to pass by the state troop
ers, the detectives, the barbed wire
and the Yale lock and then they were
permitted to see Dempsey in person.
And Dempsey. when asked by the
writor-"H How ng, champ raised
three fingers and added:
IF not that quick. any round But
if it goes the limit I'll be there with
the old hand raised up"

Lester Lanning Pitches Shutout
Victory Against Locals

The Corbin Red Sox baseball
team of this city once again went
down to defeat in the Central league
this time at the hands Of the Mid
dletown Recreations by to 0
score. The Sox faced Lester Lam
ming yesterday but the veteran
southpaw turned back 10 of them
by the strikeout route and held his
teams one run lead until the end
of the game. He emerged from the
contest with a shut out to his
credit.
The entire story of the inability
of the Corbin batters to come
through is told by the fact that
Lanning had IL of his strikeouts
while runners were on the sacks.
On the other hand. Walter Berg,
who occupied the mound for the
local club, pitched great game and
ordinarily should have won.
Neither team scored until the
sixth when Middletown got Its lone
run. Rednall singled to center to
open the frame. Fitzgerald famed.
Winner hit one down the first base
line. The ball struck the bag and
Rednall made third on the play.
Moulson dropped a short fly INTO
right field Snyder tapped the ball
and threw Winner out at second,
Rednall scoring.
Sowle, new addition to the Red
SoX team, failed to come down from
Hartford yesterday because OF IAN
unknown reason. Mickey Huber IN
the eighth reached second. He stole
third base only to overrun the baS
and he was caught out. In the

Before the sun sets, the field of

who will remain, it was predicted,
will include the cream of the coun-
try's more youthful stars who soon
er or later must be reckoned with
by the games reigning lights.
OF the large list, but one player,
Fritz Mercur. of Bethlehem. Pa,
has gained leg on the historic
bowl, second only to the champion

picked as the favorite in the face
of what some of the youngsters
have been showing this year.

League Standing

The Pirates won their fourth
straight game in the City league Sat-
urday afternoon and gained a slight
advantage over the Burritts, who
were drowned out by the rain ac-
companying the heavy thunderstorm
which broke shortly after they had
started play. This turn of circum-
stances left the Pirates with one
more victory than their deadly rivals,
although, since neither has lost a
game, the two teams remain tied in
percentage. The Pirates hit savagely
against the II BIS, and they had to,
for the Tabs put up their best exhi-
bition of the year and gave the
league leaders a surprising battle.
The Rangers nosed out the Speed
boys in a fast battle Of alternating
fortune and entrenched themselves
in third place for the time being.

Hard and timely hitting was re-
sponsible for the S-4 victory won
over the tail-end Tabs by the Pirates,
The losers gave the Pirates an un-
comfortably hard battle for the
game, but ragged fielding in critical
spots cost the cellar occupants the
game. Havlick was on the mound
for the winners and pitched we'll in
spite of the fact that he did not ap-
pear to be bearing down. His mates
accorded him nice fielding and stop
ped whatever threats the Table were
able to make. Massey did not de-
serve to lose by such wide margin,
for the errors behind him had much
to do with the Pirates runs and
came just at the moments when the
Pirates were punching hits. Pop
laski, who relieved him in the sixth,
famed three men in a row in the
seventh inning.
Matulis was the batting hero of
the day, slamimng an unusually long
home run to deep center field in the
second inning and whacking a triple
to the same section in the fourth
frame. Wier had a perfect day at
bat, getting two singles, a double,
and a walk in his four trips to the
plate.
The game was called In the
seventh to allow the Burritt-Wes

PEXTOS ARE BEATEN
Southington Team Loses to Elm City
Giants by Home Runs Which
Goes in Rabbit Hole.

The Pexto baseball tam of South
ington went down to defeat at the
hands of the Elm City Giants at the
Sand Hill grounds in Southington
yesterday afternoon through a trick
home run. The Pextos were leading
3 to in the sixth inning when two
homers were hit over the right field
wall to tie the score.
In the following inning, another
of the New Haven players hit an
ordinary two Dagger into left field.
The ball went into a rabbit-hole and
the left fielder couldn't retrieve it
until after the runner had crossed
the plate with another run. One
more counter was scored before the
game was over to give the New
Haven team the game 5 to 4.
The Pextos scored one In the
ninth but failed with the necessary
punch to tie the scoring run.
