 New York, Aug. 10 LR - Ruth, Tilden and Dempsey. probably tn" greatest trio that ever performed simultaneously, soon will be known merely as heroes of the past
 Dempsey is through, Tilden may be in the closing campaign of his active career and the Babe is near ing that period when he will see more bench duty and less daily ac- tion.
 When this championship trio was at it's height one or the other was spashcd before the public all of the time.
 Think of 1921!
 Here was Dempsey, then in his best seeking form. knocking Car pentier kicking in four rounds.
 Ruth, after having astonished sportsdom with his 54 homers in 1920, pounded out 59 for a new all time record.
 And Big Bill Tilden was sweep Ing everything before nm m ten his. He was winning the second of six straight national singles titles and had just started his great run of 13 consecutive Davis Cup chal- lenGe round singles.
 That was Ruth. Tildcn and Dempsey. all champions in 1921.
 Today:
 Dempsey, at 34. still yearns to fight again but he wouldn't have charce to show as the old Demp- sey did
 Ruth. at 35. is carrying on but with only part of the sensational form that stamped him as the king of slugGers.
 Tiden. at 3G, still outranks all but a few who have effectively barred his way 10 the heights in international play. There may be another trio be- fore the sports world to equal the spectacular performances of Ruth, Tilden and Dempsey, Anyway their equal is not yet in sight
