CHICAGO, Sept. P-The punch
driving the Giants through one Of
the greatest winning streaks Of the
season lies in the war clubgs OF
Rogers Hornsby, the former manager

dominated the batting honors of the

of the Pittsburgh three, fell today
from third place to fifth in the
league. in averages including We'd

and one pinch hitter, Dutch Mueller,

as compared with the five leading
sluggers of the F5rates' regular wreck

has a bare seven point margin on
Hornsby, but Paul Waner, the league
pace setter, is still 30 points aheac

DEMPSEY FAILS
TO IMPRESS IN
GLOVE WORKOUT

LINCOLN FIELDS, CRETE, Ills,
Sept. 8 R-Jack Dempsey resumed his
boxing again this afternoon, after a
two-dav Law off, and in the opinion of
experts, did not look as good as he had
on previous occasions. With $500
spectators crowded around the ring,
Dempsey engaged three sparring mates
and for the first time in his training
had to go against a real fighter--Al-
lentown Joe Cans
The round in which Cans faced the
former champion was swift and fur
ious but Dempsey finally pulled out in
front because he was the buster of the
pair. He knew, however, that he had
had workout.
He boxed four rounds, instead of
his usual three, facing Benny Kruger,
the big German Heavyweight, Jack
Mccain and Mike Sullivan from st.
Paul and Cans. Dempsey really put
in busy day. n
He was on the road in the morning
for about five miles and did some
socking at the heavy bag until he was
dripping with perspiration Before
boxing, he toiled round with the
pulleys and round with the light
punching bag. At the finish of his
glove work he was just beginning to
get warmed UP SO he took few more
pokes at the heavy bag before going
to the showers.
Gene Normile, who managed Demp-
sey last year in his fight against
Tunney, watched Jack go through his
PAGES today. Gene was impressed with
Dempsey's performance, predicting that
he would defeat lTunney this time.
"I saw him lose year ago and was
in his corner" Normile said "He will
win this time"
Dempsey will box again tomorrow

TlJNNEY TAKES
POSSESSION OF
TRAINING CAMP

LAKE VILLA, Ills, Sept. 3 E9--NoW
that Chicago has met Gene Tunney
and in a rousing welcome demons
strated just how much she likes him,
the heavyweight champion is ready
to reciprocate. Gene says his new
training quarters at the Cedar Crest
Country club, 35 miles from the "loop"
are mot only the finest ever have
had but the prettiest."
Gene roarned about his new domain
today, resting and lolling about the
wide green lawns after the strenuous
greeting accorded him by fully 250,00O
fans in the heart of the city yesterday.
It was a day to delight the hearts of
photographers and they made the most
of the bright sunshine, swapping the
heavyweight king in every conceivable
pose.
An 18 hole round Of golf constituted
Genes training routine today. He
went to the links late in the afternoon
with his manager, Billy Gibson, who
shoots par golf on occasion. Tunney
still has to make his first hole in per-
feet figures, but like the remainder of
the "duffer" army, probably never will
quit trying.
After posing for camera shots about
the grounds, in the two rings close to
the camp and rowing on Lake Villa,
right at his front doorstep, Gene greet
ed crippled boy from Massachusetts,
Lelix Dawrotny, who hitch-hiked his
way to camp to see the champion.
Tunney probably will find quarters for
the boy and arrange for his attending

work tomorrow, Tunney plans to defer
resumption of training workouts until

COUNTRY CLUB
TO HAVE new
GOLF TOURNEY

In addition to the various tourna-
ments held on the local golf course
each year, a new tournament has been
added which will be of interest to all
Country club members.
The new tournament will be called
the Arizona Edison trophy ttourna-
ment and will be an annual affair
open to all adult members of the, club,
both men and ladies. To the winners
will be awarded merchandise not to
exceed $50.
The new tournament will be based
on handicap play, the same as the
Dodge cup tournament, with the ex-.
ception that both men and ladies can
compete, hHstead of being open to men
only as the Dodge cup and the Presi-
dents cup match are.
The Arizona Edison trophy tourna-
ment will be played off at date to
be set by the committee in charge,
but will be after the season is well
under way, as it is a handicap match
and the players must have their
handicaps well established, after which
there will be a qualifying round, then
the players will be matched according
to their handicaps, regardless of
whether it is a man or lady player.
!, This style of tournament has been
played on some of the other courses
! in the past few years with great sue
cess Only last year woman won the
finals from one of the best men play
ers on the III Paso Country club
course.
The details and date of the tourna-
ment will be announced later and in
the meantime the committee is pre-
pairing for the opening match of the
season which will be a dinner match
participated in by all of the men
members Of the club, and will be held
some time early in October.
