Operator Selected for
Commission.

By the Associated Press.
F ~HICAGo. August 1o.-The adj
ministration-and the future
of boxing in Illinois is in
~ the hands Of three n1en
whose collective recommends
tions were success in military. legal
commercial and industrial fields.
The new Illinois State Athletic Com
mission. appointed Yesterday by Gov
Louis J. Emmersor. is composed of Gen
John V. Clinnin. soldier and sports en-
ti1usiast. named chairman: George p
Getz. millionaire coal operator. big
game hunter, who, With the late Tex
Rickard. promoted the Dempsey-Tun-

Soldier Field in 1927, and Frederick
Gardner, vice president of the ,Illinoi:
Central Bank & Trust Co. All are
Chica goans
They replace Paul Prehn. Sam Luzzc
and Al Mann, whose designations were
requested by Gov. Enn1erson two
weeks ago.
The new chairman, Gen. Clinnin. has
an insight into boxing affairs built
upon participation. He formerly held
the middleweight and heavyweight
central A. A. U. boxing championships
and served as president of the organi-
zation.
He saw service In three wars. He
commanded the l30th infantry during
the World War. an organization which
was active In France. In the last war
Gen. Clinnin was awarded the Distin-
gIlished Service Medal. after twice be-
ing cited for bravery by Gen. Pershing
He was at Santiago during the Spanish
American War, and was quick to offer
his ervices during the last trcuble
With Mexico.
Getz long has been deeply interested
in boxing. hts interest taking active
form in his association with Tex Rick

Gently has been In charge of the annual

amateur sport enthusiast and a golfer
of considerable ability. He managed
the national open golf tournament at
Olympia Fields last year and was one
of, the organizers of the Chicago Ath-
letic Association, of which he has been
a director for the past six years.
II had insisted" Gov. Emmerson de-
clared, that the commissioners be we'll
known business men, and I am sure
We have them in our group. We are
extremely fortunate to have secured
this trio, who will bring new confidence
for boxing in Illinois,
Gen. Clinnin said that all rules viii
be strictly enforced. I'm accepting the
position Of chairman Of the commission
I am determined to enforce every rule
In the book" he said. Gov. Ernn1er-
son has assured me that he will back
the commission in everything we do
Every rule will be adhered to and there
will be no elasticity in any clause"
GetZ said he accepted the appoint
nent with the understanding that there
would be no outside interference, and
predicted that harmony among the
members Of the commission would make
Its work easy and its administration OF
a high order.

BUGS ARE UNABLE
TO GAIN ON CUBS

Chicago Team Refuses

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON. JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

YUsT how to overtake q ball team
which piles up an impressive
lead and then refuses to lose
~ more than the minimum number
of games Is problem which
the greatest minds Of base ball have
never been able to solve. And that Is
the question which is pugzling the guild
ing spirits Of the Pittsburgh Pirates
and the New York Giants.
The pennant hopes Of the second
and third place teams in the National
League must perforce remain very slim

they had dropped six out of seven.

The current series between the East

Meanwhile the Giants. trailing aIeng

SCHMEL|NG IS DUE
FOR BIG MONEY CO
Passing Up sharkey Battle
Means His Manager Has
Better Chance.
By JOHN J. ROMANO.

n TEW YORK, August 1o.-It IS not
reasonable to assume that Joe
Jacobs willfully passed up
4 chance to gather In $780, 600
for his charge, Max Scfneling
In q contest with Jack SkArkey unless
Jacobs had assurance that he could
possibly do better with some other pro-
noter.
Jacobs infers as much by saying
Jack Dempsey until the latter talks
with some of his Midwest and Western
friends, who would be prepared to put
up the money and promote a contest.
Dempsey has taken out n1atchniak-
er's license In Chicago and possibly
figures on shooting the German fighter
In with otto Won Porat or Tuffy Grit
nth in the Windy City.
Then again there is the possibility
that Dempsey would use Sehmeling at
Aqua Caliente, Mexico, with none 9TH
er than himself in the opposite corner.
This view Is not far fetched by any
means. There is suspicion that
Dempsev would like to crawl through
the ropes against a slow-nnoving fell
low. and a glance over Makes record
shows that he has been knocked out
four times.
These are only speculations Jacobs
has listened TO some ones pretty talk
or he would not have taken the ur-
alterable stand he has. And Jacobs can
be fooled Several years ago Joe worked
himself into the good sraces of Mike
McTigue when the Celt was light
heavyweight champion. Jacobs took
McTigue down TO Atlanta to fght
Young Stribling, and to make matters
doubly sure brought his own referee
down with him. The fans all know
what happened. McTigue Is supposed
to have had his choice of bang strung
no TO a we'll thickened tree or going
through with the fight No decision
was given until after the champions
party was on their vay home. and. Of
course. the decision was . draw.
Jacobs has been fooled before It.

promises and will be left out In the

The change Of pace employed
30 much by pitchers today has
something to do with the disap-
pearance of guess hitting. A guess
hitter is apt to be thrown of bal
A1ce easily If he guesSes wrong
when the pitcher is mixing the
fast ones and floaters. The swing
er, though. who takes his cut at
anything that looks good, gets re-
suits.
Imagine a batter trying TO guess the
pitches of such boxmen as Lefty Grove
Al Thomas, Fred Marbcrry ard Waite
Hoyt, or the deliveries Of such able
bcxren as Sam Gray, Walter Miller
Ed Morris and Earl Whitehill.
TT can't be DONE" says Sam Rice
And this veteran of the Nationals has
TO know what he Is talking about.
Rice Does Not Guess.
Rice doesn't do any guessing at the
plate. He takes his stance. gets his bat
we'll balanced and watches every pitch
II 1t looks good to him, he takes his
swing, and he isn't often fooled
OF course, 1t doesn't mean that q hit
follows every time he connects with q
hkable pitch. but Sam rarely naisses
meeting the ball with his bat when he
swings. He strikes out less than any
other OF the Nationals, and but two OF
three times this season has q pitcher
thrown a third strike by him.
Buddy Myer, the best hitter among
the younger Nationals, does no guess
nag at the plate. He swings whenever
he thinks the pitch Is worth while, and
he does pretty we'll with his hattinr
style. He admits he tried guess hitting
at one time, but found 1t did not get
him anywhere as q batter.
Ford Sawyer. Boston base ball au-
ehority, In writing of guess hitting and
the strategic battle of pitcher and bat
ter, mentions that Ty Cobb is always
spoken Of as the most prominent ex-
ample Of the guess hitter.
Ty Studied Pitchers.
But as matter Of fact Ty seldom
needed to guess" Sawyer writes. He
studied the pitchers to such an extent
that he generally knew tust what they
were going to serve
He relates an interesting story Of how
Ty discovered the Indian sign held over
aim by Doc White, the greatest pitcher
Washington ever sent to the majors.
Ty faced the great White Sox left
handed six times" says Sawyer, and
ne tanned each time. One evening the
members Of the two clubs were attend
ing q show. and Ty and Doc met. Ty
asked White how he held the various
types OF pitches, ard the Chicago bog
man, unthinking. illustrated by move

"1 mean" replied Duncan, that he

He plays nothing safe. Whatever the
risk might be. he takes it. He never
takes the percentage into account. He
