which Mr.. Dempsey Is said to be
more or less familiar.
I am told the voice culturists are
having no little trouble with their
subject due to his tendency to mon
otone. Mr.. Dempsey has one of those
voices which ripping over the split
lips of one so virile and savage
looking makes you wonder whether
you should, as the phrase has it,
kiss him or kill him. 1t is a cross
between a high-p pitched yodel and
a masculine hair trinmer's business
lyrics.
The battling problem confront
ing the BelascO aides who have
Mr.. Dempsey in tow on the Coast
is what to do about that almost
soprano voice Of his.
OBVIOUSLY much Of the dram
~ attic force would be lost in any
situation where the hairy -chested
hero stalked across the stage to
where Mr.. j. Throckmorton Glitz
was paving the blonde heroine and
demanded in a shrill, high pitched
voice, "unhand that gell, you
Scoundrel!"
I am afraid even If the hairy
chested heros name happened to be
Dempsey even, that would not be
enough to save him from the ire
of the boys in the nickel seats.
It would be much easier if the
Belasco opus restricted Mr.. Demp-
Sey's activity to fist singing, where
his eloquence is second to none.
Naturally the big moment in the
dray-na is to be a fight scene and
presumably the hairy-chested hero
will bring one up from the floor In
characteristic manner and knock
his opponent loose from his hang
nails.
Here still another problem as
serts itself, an even greater prob
lem, Z should say, than the mat
ter Of imparting manly roar to
the Dempsey voice.
y 4
MYTH almost any other fighter
w this would be no problem.
Quite few of the boys are rare
artists at making phoney punches
look legitimate. This is simple
trick and is dcne by stopping the
punch at the seeming moment of
contact Technically, it is known
as pulling your punches.
But Mr.. Dempsey can no more
pull his punches than the Niagara
can still it's tumult. At least he
wasn't able to in the past. He was
known as a poor Carrier" A Car
rier,' is a young business man who
carries an opponent along easily
in one fight in order to save him
for another somewhere else later
n
Three years ago Mr.. Dempsey
was going through the innocent
gestures of training at Hender-
sOnville, KY, getting ready for
his come back. One Of his spar
ring partners was the numbering
Farmer Lodge from the Middle
West, dime-a-dozen paluka who
had gone to seed.
THE farmer was out Of funds,
l. his wife was seriously i'll and a
fire had razed his house to the
ground. On top of that he was de-
funct as box Office card even on
the tan-shoe and bow-tie circuit.
Mr.. Dempsey has a heart. He
heard of the Farmers grief and sent
for him. "You don't have to give me
a real workout" Mr.. Dempsey told
the Farmer when he arrived in
camp. Just get in there and make
it look good. won't hurt you"
And if Mr.: Dempsey didn't mean
every word he said Paprika is a
swell thing to use on watering eyes,
but the Farmer hadn't been in the
ring with him thirty seconds until
Mr.. Dempsey had him hanging over
the ropes entreating aid in haste
and diversified forms.

A longer and more difficult
course than the one burnt up"
by Hagen in winning the western
open stretches ahead of the ambi-
tiOus field Tuesday. The rough
is "as bad as Oakmont," say many
of the contestants-and that, in
the language of golf, is no compli-
ment."
Rough broke the hearts of many
golfers at Oakmont and rough holds
the secret of victory ia Olympia
Fields. Where Hagen used to drive
deliberately to avoid bunkers Of the
fairway, rough grasses now claim
the wayward ball.
Jones, of course, is favorite and
Walter Hagen close behind. But
there is a great deal more search
ing for a dark horse going on than
there will be at the Democratic con-
vention.

in Twin Bill
With Toledo
Tuesday PoStponement
Leads to Double Header;
Big Crowd Expected.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
TOLEDO, Ohio, June 20.-Held
idle by wet grounds Tuesday, In
dians and Hens were to play off the
postponement in a double header
today-if more showers did not fall.
Swayne field was in sloppy condi-
ton Monday, but the groundkeeper
and his staff" put in much work
late Monday afternoon and this
morning trying to put the diamond
in shape.
Race Stands Close
With the Hens clinging to the
league lead by narrow margin,
and the Indians close up, todays
twin bill was expected to attract the
largest weekday crowd of the sea-
son.
Swetonic, Leverett and Schupp
we're the Tribe pitchers ready for
action. Palmero, left-hander, and
Huntzinger, right-hander, we're ION
deck for the local crew.
Only one game was staged in the
A. A. Monday, rain preventing three.
Louisville downed the Senators at
Columbus, 7 to 2, and there were no
shifts in the league standing.
1t was a peculiar contest at Co
lumbus, for the losers got fourteen
hits to seven for the winners. Bra
nom, Colonel f1rst-sacker, smote two
doubles and a home run.
Louisville executed three double
plays and Columbus two.
Despite the fact they hit Deberry
freely, the Senators we're able to
score only in the first and last in
nings. George Lyons hurled for the
losers. The Colonels made every one
of their 60 al Nus count.
Umpire Jack Powell has left the
ranks of the A. A. and it is under
stood he was pushed" out by Presi-
dent Hickey Powell, it is said,
couldn't curb his tongue during
spats with managers and players.
He forfeited game to indianapolis

President Hickey reversed his ruling.
That led certain A. A. managers to
take liberties with the umpire and

cided he wasn't wanted and his

Just now Hollywood is paying
special attention to the tiny articles
which go so far towards creating a
smart ensemble, and is introducing

Her latest possession in point Of
novelty is a collection of trick dolls
which may be carried about with
her. One is a musical affair which

gives the doll a voice and many
things to talk about. Another doll
has the size and general appearance
of a real baby. The owners fingers
may manipulate it so as to give it
movement that makes il startlingly
life-like in appearance.
However, there are many other
things which Hollywood favors to
add to the general effectiveness Of

BOOK
PENELOPE'S WEB
BY Harriet Comstock

The daughter of a shiftless poor
provider' and a discouraged mother,
who faded quietly out of life when
she was born, Penelope, the little
unwanted baby, was laid into her
brother Billy's arms, and from that
moment he made a grim resolve to
see that she got a chance. How he
and his older brother, John, strug-
gled against poverty and social os-
tracism and finally won not only
success, but brought about the regen-
Grafton of a whole neighborhood,
makes a story of high-hearted cour-
age. Like All OF airs. Comstock's
stories, the book is permeated with
a sense of the woods, the beauty and
serenity of trees and lowered hills.
harriet T. Comstock's stories have
never been serialized, but since the
success of Joyce of the North
Woods" years ago, she has increased
her circle of readers consistently
until it numbers in the hundred
thousands. $500

gauz all possess a delicate appeal
and are seen in all colors with en-
broiaered effects or with metallic
threads enhancing their natural
beauty. The daytime scarf in tri-
angle, square or oblong remains as
important an accessory as it ever
was. The t%ricolor effect is among
the most important Of the summer
scarfs.
Fans are again listed as impor-
tant bits Of feminine flattery. In
all sorts of sizes they exert a de-
cided appeal with the formal gown.
Chiffon is proving the most sue
cessful for formal summer hand
kerchiefs. They come in all shades,
although flesh edged in black lace
is listed among the smartest right
now. These handkerchiefs are de-
cidedly ornamental in appearance
and often pofsess gailv painted IiOral
decorations in one corner.
Summer shoes are brighter and
lighter than ever. With the eXcep-
ton of the active sports shoes they
are high-heeled and dainty in out
line.
The sports socks that have so
firm a hold upon the feminine fancy
that they are being shown in all
colors are wisely worn over silk un-
less the wearer possesses legs brown
ed all over by the sun.
