Heinrich Louis Gehrig, the crown

Having scored a moral victory yes.
terday in top-hatting his man into
state Of actual embarrassment,
Jack Dempsey - the old. light
hearted, rollicking Jack of those
freebooting days under Kearns--
was to arrive at his Saratoga,
N. Y, training camp early today
to finish training for his comeback
match with Jack Sharkey on July
81. His program, outlined as he
left New York last night with q
$250,000 contract for the fight,
called for complete rest until Mon.
day. after which the open season
was to be declared on sparring
partners.
Sharkey probably will go the
jump on Dempsey by going into

to let it in on the fun.
Regardless of how good or
bad he may prove to be in the
ring, Dempsey's mental atti.
tude at this time is far better
and easier than &c was last
summer when he came on to
stage n series Of foot races
with the deputy sheriffs.
Perhaps the fact that he will
win a quarter of a million dol
lars, even il he loses to Sharkey,
may have something to do with
his carefree air.

In future bouts.
Certainly the contracts he
signed yesterday were enough
to gladden. any mans heart. One
of them gave him $25O,OOO and
a 2711 per cent cut on the
Sharkey gate.
Another, in the event Of victory,
promised him Is per cent for a sec
ond meeting with Tunney and
third, predicated on the assumption
that he will regain the heavyweight
title, guaranteed him 100000 and
so per cent of the gate to defend
the championship next year.
Sharkey got practically the same
contracts, except that he was Of
fered 221s per cent Of the Dempsey
receipts.
That those receipts win run sec

more than 1900 applications for
tickets found their way into Tex

bringing more. A sell-out crowd
will mean a gate Of 100000, and
Richard expects to sell out at least
a week before the fight.

young man went out and stood the
assembled Griffs upon their several
heads. To be sure, he was given
brilliant support, especially by Max
Bishop, but his pitching was smooth
and steady all the way.
After the first inning, when the
Griffs punched three hits for their
lone run, Willis ratified along in
fine style. In the ninth two hits
were punched but no runs came
over. Fred Marberry's unsteadiness
does not appear in the box score.
He had too much generosity
with all the bastmen and had to
pitch too many crippIes over the
pan. 1t was one of those Grip.
Piles that AL Simmons poled into
the stand in left center for his
tenth for the year by the way.
Marberry would probably pitch
better ball If he worked oftener,
but as it was to be whipped,
to l does not tell how weak he
looked in comparison with Willis.
The Griffs are making q sorry
showing against the AS this season.
Yesterdays defeat was the ninth in
twelve games played against the
men of Mack. On the other hand,
they are far ahead Of the Red Sox
with eight victories and three de-
feats. Hollis Thurston is expected
to open the series here today
against Bill Carrigan's crew. His
opponent will not be known until
they square away.

Simmons was the hitting ace of
the series, hitting for an even 500.

is in a slump and will eventually
get going, but he certainly looked

The AS were quite as Jumpy as
