DEMPSEY, SHARKEY,
SCHMEL|NG NAMED
Ready to Meet All of Them,
He Says-Thinks German
Easy to Conquer.
BY TOMMY LOUGHRAN.

Light Heayyweisht Champion Of the World
There are only three other heavy
weights, beside myself, who are rated
among the top contenders for the
championship Gene Tunney left up to
fight for. They are Jack Dempsey
who still tntimates that he will take
another fling at the game-Jack
Sharkey and Max Schmeling.
I'd be mighty glad to meet all three
Of them In the next six month or so.
But the fight game is big business and
matches are not made of hand.
None of the three other contenders
Is anxious or even willing to meet me.
I've wanted to box Sharkey for sew
eral years, but he wouln't take chance.
If he thought he could beat me he
would snap at the opportunity, wouldn't
he?
Sizes Up Schmeling.
From what have noted OF Schmeling
it seems to me-looking at it from an
observers point of view-that his style
would be almost as easy to solve as
Braddock'S, though he is faster and
smarter than the Jerseyman. and is
lust as hard a hitter. However, he
lacks the sort of experience topliner
should have. In his entire career he
has fought only two men with any pre-
tensions to fame.
Dempsey was my boyhood idol. He
was one of the greatest fighters who
ever lived But he has unquestionably
gone back He isn't the Dempsey he
used to be, by long shot. You know.
I boxed Jack before he lost his title to
Tunney, and I learned a lot about his
style and ring mannerisms. I'd give
anything to get in there with the old
man mauler.
There may be several big heavy
weight fights this Winter. One Is as
sured for Miami. Another Is being
planned for Aqua Caliente, near
Tijuana. and there has been some talk
about the West Coast of Florida try
ing to take the play away from the
East by putting pair Of heavyweights
against each other at st. Petersburg or
Tampa.
Should Decide Champion.
The campaigning through this Sum-
mer and Fall and the coming Winter
should pretty nearly decide who is en-
titled to the heavyweight championship
of the world. I'll be in the thick Of the
running You know, even the most
conservative boxers are sometimes
forced into action by public opinion.
- I have established my right beyond
any dispute. I feel as seriously as any
one can that will win the title in the
unlimited class. I've been working to-
ward that end for 10 years. and
am sure that the goal Is within reach
ing distance at last.
Dempsey, Schmeling, Sharkey-1
don't care which meet.

Jones AND CAGLE
WILL VISIT COAST
Linksmen Must Stop Bobby
and Stanford Has Job
of Checking Red.
By the Associated Fress.

By the Associated Press
1.-TWO of our most eminent
young athletes, r. T. Jones,
Jr., OF Georgia, and c. K.
eagle of Louisiana. will be
the guests Of California this year
in two of the main sports affairs
Of the year. There, however, the
similarity ends.
Jones will receive the equivalent more
or less, of q frock-coated welcome be-

tional amateur gelf championship at
Pebble Beach in September, but eagle
and the rest of his army Of foot bail
mates may be handled trifie roughly
by their hosts, the young men Of STAN
ford.
One may be as difficult to stop on
the hazardous links, however, as the
other is on the white-striped gridiron.
Stanford stopped eagle the Red last
December at the Yankee Stadium In
one Of the greatest gridiron spectacles
of the year, but the Army'S lightning
from Louisiana nevertheless struck no
little fear into the pupils Of Pop" War;
ner. To realize this it's only necessary
to sit down for a chat with Bob Sims
and Herb Fleischacker. who came East
to cheer the Stanford track team and
to talk foot ball. These two know what
10 is 20 rip through the Army's de-
lenses. They also know how difficult It
is to halt eagle the Red.
Remember that great run eagle

Sims has finished his varsity career
for Stanford. but F1eischacker. giant

"If love were eliminated the game
would receive a still greater impetus
among all classes than 1t ever received
In the past. If you want the boys and
girls of the sand lots to play tennis
instead of other games in the future
love should be eliminated Immediately.
We want tennis for the masses, where
It will create the greatest amount OF
good. rather than for the select group.
This Is not a sensitive point of view.
At present love Is nothing more or less
than a Joke anyway. Let's dispose OF
1t. Let's forget tradition and use logic.
Love Is the wrong word In the wrong
place. Why retain it?"
The hallucination that tennis Is

the fact that 1t Is about one Of the

harder pugilists have taken 1t up as
a training stunt, but they do not
play many sets nor do they play
1t well, because it is too taxing. Any
prizefighter in training who spent
much time at tennis would find that
he was leaving his stamina in the
tennis courts.
Back in the gay eos or Whereabouts
the manly base ball player used to scott
at the sissy boy who took to the tennis
courts. In fact. some of the males
who preferred racquetS to base ball bats
were looked upon as grown-up boy
infants who played with dolls and tin
soldiers.
But the fact becomes quite apparent
that, while the tennis player is real
athlete. the base ball player Is only
half an athlete. He hardly gets enough

exercise to keep him in condition. The
best Of base ball players could not stand
many sets of real tennis.
This is due partly to the fact that
the tennis of today Is much faster
and harder than it was in the days
when 1t was supposed to be a
ladies game" The rest Of it Is due
to the fact that tennis, even as 1t
was played years ego. always was q
harder game than the American ma
tional pastirne.
AS to popularizing the game "in the
sand lots" the writer Of the love letter"
ought to know that you cannot play
tennis In sand lots. You must have
courts. 1t might easily be that the
growth Of tennis addicts has been re-
tarded only by the lack Of public tennis
courts and not to any prejudice against
the game. Then, again. there has been
no great effort to popularize tennis
because it IS one Of those games which
cannot be commercialized to any extent.
Not Much Love Interest.
THERE has not been much love
L lost in tennis nor In the admins
tration Of tennis in recent years. Those
guerilla battles between Mr.. William
Tilden, I'd, and the United States Lawn
Tennis Association were much on the
level, and at the current writing the
feeling still IS far from lovely. though
experts point to the fact that the
selections for the American Davis Cup
skirmish with the Germans show that
Mr.. Tilden has had his way again. He
seems to be able to make the association
like 1t, if 1t does not love 1t.
There Is nothing OF the spirit Of
brotherly love in any Of the tennis
matches that are hard fought. And
there Is less Of sisterly love in the game
that IS played by the women. In fact.
there Is . great deal more affection
ring than there Is on the tennis courts.
Perhaps tennis in the beginning
was a polite game, but as 1t gained
speed and became more and more
strain on the stamina and on the
temper it lost much Of its politeness.
There was time when tennis play
.ers would accept the ruling Of the
referee with perfect grace, but re-
Gently they have made it plain in
dumb show that they do not like
some of the rulings. Mr.. Tilden even
went farther in one match. He
walked up and protested a decision
to lady referee.

Germantown when the French were
winning the Davis Cup. When asked
not to applaud errors they compromised
by applauding only the errors Of the
French.
Tennis has attained sand lott popu-
1arity already. One Of these days they
will be throwing pop bottles at Forest
Hills.

SISdU IllGGClS VI oil GlIllc.
The best form hitter I ever saw In
action was Larry Laioie. Lajoie had
every correct fundamental of batting
under perfect control. He averaged
something like $50 for 20 years. But
he lacked Cobb's speed at getting down
to first. With Cobb's fast footwork in
beating out tnfield hits. I believe Lajoie
would have been close to 400 for an
all-time record.
Lajoie would have led the American
League eight or ten times II he had been
a trife faster. He wasn't slow for
00-pounder, but he wasn't fast getting
away from the plate. Practically all
his base hits were clean driven smashes
that no infielder could knock down.
He could hit to any field. and there
was no fuzz on any of his wallops.
Most Of them were line smashes that
left a tail Of fire behind.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-07-22
Looking Back.


IN one game I saw Lajoie choke up his
i bat as II he intended to bunt. On
the next pitch the third baseman
for the next bunt. In place OF bunt-
ing Lajoie hit one down the third
base line that came near decapitating
the startled third basenan. who
dropped fat on the ground to keep
from getting killed. A few innings
later, with a runner on first. the hit
and run signal was given. The base
runner started for second as the pitcher
attempted to waste one about two feet
to the right Of the plate. Latoie
reached over and singled across first
with his right hand only on the bat.
On another such occasion he threw his
bat at the ball and singled to right.
The big Frenchman was the east
est looking performer base ball has
ever known. He was always COM
pletely relaxed. almost careless as
he stood and waited, and when he
had decided to take his cut at the
ball 1t made no great difference
where the ball was-below his knees.
above his shoulders, inside or out
side.
For a long time he averaged around
200 base hits year and practically
none of these were inf1elders' grounders
that he beat to first. They were 200
hits that travelled like q bullet.
Frank Schultz and Iris Speaker were
two others who batted in practically
perfect form.
What about Ty Cobb? Cobb also
was a form batter but he also had
wonderful foot speed in racing out
hits and an uncanny eye. He never
looked as easy at the plate or as
graceful as Lajoie. Schultz and
Speaker looked. The same Is true
of Hans Wagner, another great
hitter.
Among the younger players. Mel OFT
OF the Giants and Jimmy Foxx Of the
Athletics are two fine form hitters
who carry most Of the fundamentals.
Among the veterans, Hornsby. Ruth.
Heilmann. Manush and Terry are
among the best.
Only q good form hitter can hold the
lead for more than year. A ball play
er with a fine eye, strong hands and
wrists and q lot of competitive courage
may hit well for a while and then slip
away If he has bad kink in his form.
