Vignoli Loses

Dick Vignali staged one of the best fights of the outdoor season at White City Stadium last night against Jack Renault of New Ha- ven. The two lads went at one another like tigers in the opening round when all of a sudden Viz mali went. down for a short count. In the second round Renault re- newed his aggressiveness and the local lad was in such a bad way that the bout was stopped much to the dismay of Vignali.

 But like Empress Epgenie hats, leg o'mutton sleeves and high-but- toned shoes, they may come back from nowhere.
 We'll give you three guesses as to the identity of the man who will bring them back. And if you don't name Jack Dempsey on the first try, you'll be sent to the foot of the class and made to stay in after school and dust the erasers.
 Not So Bad
 The old Manassa mauler, on whose failing fists boxing rose to unprecedented heights, gave the first indication that the $1,000, 900 gate was not dead beyond recall when he drew 10000 persons through turnstiles in an exhibition bout in Portland, Ore, a few nights ago.
 Twenty thousand customers, mind you, in a town whose popula- ton is just little better than 300,- 900, such a tremendous gathering meant that one out of every 15 citizens had paid to watch Jack smack over a bunch of ham and eggers who wouldn't have crowded 8 phone booth by themselves. Even if they had a hula hula dancer and a crooner to entertain between rounds.
 Title Bout Drew 3O,OOO
 If you don't think that attend ,t fy~fI tho old boys pulling power, please remember that less than twice that number were on hand in Cleveland when Maxmillian Schmeling, cham pion of all the world, defended his title against Willie Stribling.
 There can be but one answer. The customers would rather watch Dempsey read coulpe of chapters from the Congressional Record or Paradise Lost, than watch any oth- CT fighter you can name out there throwing lefts and rights.
 If, at the end of his exhibition tour, Dempsey finds his pegs will stand for one more whirl. the mil lion dollar gate will return just az sure as you're born.
 Put Jack in there against Schmel- ing or Camera, even if he had to be rolled to the rinGside in wheel chair, and the boys and girls will be hanging from the rafters and sitting on the chandeliers. And what is more, they'll be liking 1t.
 Legs His Weakness
 Just what Dempsey would do against a first class opponent would depend on his legs. If his pins hold up long enough for him to get in q few licks, he might win. His best bet would be bout with Camera. Jack was always at his best against those elephantine fellows; fellows he could wade. into and sock. Dempsey knows this and probably would think twice before mixing it with boxing master like Tom my Loughran, or a rugged young fighter like schmel- ing. No matter how risky his legs felt.
 Jack started his comback by talk ing on one fighter Next he made it two. Then three. Tn Portland he handled four. The next thing you know Ginsberg Gas Estelle used to call him) will be taking on base ball team.

CHAPMAN IS THE
 CHAMP OF LOOP IN CENTURY DASH
 WITH REYNOLDS

Chicago, Aug. 26.-UP). Ben Chapman, New York Yankee outfielder, held the mythical speed championship of the American League to- day through an easy victory over Carl Reynolds, Chciago White Sox outfielder and equaled a stolen base record.
 Chapman, who leads the major leagues in stolen bases with 51, beat Reynolds by about 10 feet in a 100-yard race. Both ran in base ball uniforms.
 Chapman was timed in 10 1-5 seconds, considered fast in view of his attire and the condition of the outfield.
 Long Way From Record
 Chapman stole his 50th and 51st bases of the year in the ninth in- ming of yesterdays game, stealing both second and third after he had singled. This is the most bases any major league player has stolen in one year since George Sisler stole the same number in 1922. The record is 96 which Ty Cobb set in 1915.

Just to show you what we could
have done had we been able to talk

the pleasure of conversing with a
friend about Uncle Lewty" and
Aunt Polly" To those of you who
have known Muttonburg in the years
we have been word picturing, we
need not say that We mean Lewis
and Polly Lindimore. This man
called our attention to the fact that
tAunt Polly" not only reared her
own eight children, but also raised
the late Warren Rowland, and one
we believe whose name escaped us.
Aunt Polly lived in time when
neighbor women met the stork, and
many were the youngsters that she
greeted, when they made their first
appearance in society. Then a doc
tor came into the neighborhood, and
looking to his own interest, threat
ened to have her arrested. When
she consulted a lawyer she found
she was keeping within the law.
when she did not advertise or
charge. and was only acting the
part of friend in need. Uncle
Lewty, as we have told you, while
a hard working man, was always
interested in sports. He never got
too old to enjoy game of base
ball If you can't remember the
games on the diamond on the Jack
Lindimore bottom, you are a new
conner, and will have to sit at the
seat of the listener, when older
folks recount the doings OF those
happy days of our boyhood. At
that time Uncle Jack couldn't put
