The fighting spirit in baseball is
a great thing, but fighting spirit
doesn't mean grabbing at umpires
on every play, holding up games to
have arguments, or swinging fists
at someone's jaw. The players with
the most fighting spirit 1 ever
knew are chaps who never had a
fight on the field. You'll go a
long ways before you find a harder
playing. more fighting ball player
than Earl Combs, for instance. Yet
you never saw Earl have a row
with an umpire; you never saw him
get in a fight with another player,
and you never saw I'm kicked out
Of a game for dispIsI.ig a decision.
Joe Judge, Of Washington, Is
another player of that type,
and so is Tony LaZZeri. Those
boys don't make trOuble-yet
they're out there fighting to
win ball games every minute.
The tip-off on the changed atti-
4ude of ball players and urnpires
Is shown by Tommy Connolly.
Tommy hasn't had to kick a ball
player out Of the game since June,
1922--four seasons ago! Fifteen
years ago he had to put players
out of the game two or three times
a month. Here's a funny thing,
too. The last man Tommy ever
put out of the game was a fellow
named Babe Ruth. We were laugh.

R0bS DEMPSEY OF
FISTIC VICTORY
Tunney FOndled Canvas
for Fourteen Seconds
By ]. lJerryl DoOLEY

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-For the first
time in ring history world champion
retained his title after being knocked
out so long that the challenger was
beginning to SILVER with the cold wait
ing for his foe to get on his pins.
Jack Dempsey, who worked in the
Seattle shipyards during the war
while Gene Tunney was serving j. P.
Morgan as marine planted silenc-
er to Tunney's headpiece in the sew
enth round at Memorial Field and
the battling bookworm went down to
rise only after every stop watch in
the arena licked off fourteen seconds
Patriots Down On Dempsey
Dempsey won the fight but lost
the decision. This is not surprising
considering the fact that he has been
denounced by the American Legion
and by the superannuated daughters
Of the American revolution by every
pauhandling aggregation of paid pa
triots in the United States.
Not only did Dempsey win by a
legitimate knockout but he won on
points. From my ringside seat sew
eral hundred yards away from the
theatre of war | could see by the aid
of glasses that Dempsey was carrying
the fight to his opponent all the way
and taking whatever punishment Tun-
ney could inflict on him as lightly as
capitalist politician takes pre-
election promise.
Leo (Paleolithis) Flynn, Dempsey's
manager has turned Chicago's sooty
atmosphere livid with his blistering
blasts against the unfair decision. He
is taking the matter up with the state
boxing commission. Dempsey de-
clares he is ready to fight the learned
marine any time and the canny
Richard says he thinks Jack is entitled
to a return engagement, which is not
surprising since such an event would
aid Tex in his climb into the multi
millionaire class.
The fight made Tunney a million
dollars richer and even Dempsey's in
jured feelings can be assauged by
the $450,000 which was the losers
share. Commercialism tainted the
exhibition. 1t was almost $3,0O0,000
worth of propaganda for workers
sports, for sports sake and for the
moral and physical well being of the
sons and daughters of the working
class.

is COMPLETED
100000 Annual Trade
By Doubleday, Doran

Eight publishing companies and

ger just completed between Double
day, Page & Co., and Doran & Co.,
of this city.
Both firms, VIGOROUSLY non-union,
have been fighting any attempt at
organization Of printers and other
workers for many years, and one of
the reasons for the removal of Double
day, Page & Co., to Garden City,
L. l., was an attempt to continue it's
open-shop character.
Over five million dollars year in
trade is involved in the new combine,
and the merger is seen as step in
the greater trustificatiop Of the book
publishing business, ultimately exer-
cising virtual censorship over the
entire book field
The Doubleday concern realized an
enormous profit from the publication
