Yesterday Hermann quietly
stepped on the Wardman Park

past decade and did the utterly
unexpected.
Hermann was expected to put
up a stiff fight, but defeat for
him was inevitable, according to
the dopesters.

which Mangan won, 6-3.
However, Gene uses the first
set with an unfamiliar opponent
for study period.
Realizing he couldn't cope with
Mangan's powerful back-court
game, Hermann took to the fore
court with the score A and
40 against him in the second
set. He pulled up to deuce and
both held their service through
six games, when Gene finally
broke through to win the set,
81.
Both strove grimly to break
through each others service dur
ing the third set, until Mangan
tired and Gene broke through
on the twentieth game to take the
set, 11-9.
It was Genes greatest achieve

The former champion of the
heavies opened in an act here
yesterday teamed with Miss Lima
BaSqGette. The tour that has
been arranged will swing them
around the continent and eventu-
ally carry them on to the At
lantic seaboard.
81 wish you would refer to
me as a thespian this time"
requested Dempsey. "NOt 50
many people know what that
means. If you say I'm an actor
everybody knows what that
means and right away they
want me to prove it."
Dempsey said he was through
promoting battleS-"for quite a
while anyway" Also that he
would not do very much more
refereeing. AS to fighting, We'll,
I'll wait until somebody chal-
lengeS me-"
Asked whether he was going
to give up his Reno residence and
resume Los Angeles as the home
address, he said:
'T don't suppose I'll be around
Reno very much from now on
and my business enterprises are
located in and around Los
Angeles"
81 get q lot of fun going ON
the stage every once in a WHILE"
he said. "The offer that was
made for this tour was too
tempting to turn down. So I'll
be trOuping around for q spell.
/ can't put up with idlenesS.
Must be doing something all the
time and right now my mood 10
for stage work"
Friends Of Dempsey agreed with
him that he is constantly trying
one job or another. He had
held down many in his adventur-
Gus career. His first was as cook,
cashier and waiter in a little
restaurant owned by his father in
Colorado. Since then he has been
hay-stacker, farmer, carpenter,
miner, ranchman, wrestler, boxer,
hotel keeper, actor, flicker film
star, promoter of boxing carnivalS
in Miami. New York, Chicago and
Reno. He has been referee and
judge of fistie duels, and once
was the glittering figure in a cir.
Gus.
"And don't forget that ON a
couple Of occasions I was judge
in q bathing beauty contest,
too" pointed out Dempsey.
However, the committee on
DempSey'S activities ruled this
out, claiming that such a gesture
did not come under the general
heading of work.
Dempsey looks to be in fine
condition and many Of his ad.

serious training in the outdoors
for six weeks or two months that
even at his age-37-he could
make it very tough for all and
sundry of those champions and

COMBS SHINES
AS YANKS WIN

Charley Ruffing held Detroit
to six hits and the Yankees
gained a 3-to-2 decision over Vic
Sorrel, thanks to Earl Combs,
who hit a homer with two on
base IN the third and then saved
the game by making sparkling
catch in the ninth inning.
Jimmy Foxx poled his thirtieth
homer as the AS downed the
White Sox, 6 to 4. In the night
cap, Roy Mahaffey, beaten in his
last seven starts, held the Sox
to five hits and won in a romp,
ii to 2. Eddie Gallagher, former
Boston College southpaw, was a
flop in his debut with the Red
Sox. The Browns blistered him
for six runs in the second inning,
winning to 4.
The Pirates, winning most OF
the close ones like a good, game
club, nosed out the Giants in the
ninth, 8 to Z, when their
sensational rookie Shortstop,
Floyd Vaughan, clouted a single
with the bases jammed.
The Cubs, close behind the
Pirates, will be more formidable
with Bob. Smith back in pitching
harness. This veteran right
handler, making his first start in
five weeks, hurled Chicago to a
6-to-4 win over the Phils, with the
aid of five errors by the Quaker
infield.
Boston stayed right on Chi
cago'S heels as Bobby Brown, SEN
Sational young southpaw. held
the Cardinals to four hits and
triumphed, 8 to /. Dean and
Derringer hurled for st. Louis.
Brooklyn INDUCED in an old-time

NEW YORK, July 9.--I have
been hearing ever since April that
the Detroit Tigers were bound to
take a flop from the lofty posi-
ton which they have occupied al
most since the start of the Ameri-
can League season. And I have
been hearing similar predictions
about the Boston Braves, the sur
prise team Of the National League
to date. But this is the week
when the clubs all close in on. or
pass, the halfway mark in the
seasons schedule by playing II
games, and I notice that Bucky
Harris and Bill McKechnie still
have their teams in the thick Of
the going.
Detroit has not been quite as
prominent in the American
League, I know, as Boston has
been in the National. But it is
quite a tribute to Bucky Harris
that he has been able to keep
pace with such strong clubs as
Philadelphia and Washington for
almost three months Of the pen
nant chase.
Picked Tigers Last
You may recall that, in my
preseason dope. I picked the
Tigers to finish in last place. I
am free to say that I made a big
blunder in this particular predic-
ton.
OF the present Detroit infield
Gehringer is the only player who
was listed as a regular at the
start Of last season, and he was
out for a great part of the year
with a bad arm. Alexander and
McManus, who were infield regu.
lars at Detroit a year ago this
time, have gone to another club.
Stone Is the only outfield regular
Of last season who has survived
the experimenting and shifting
done by Harris in his effort to
get a winning combination.
InfieId Clicks
The Braves, like the Tigers,
also show an infield that is en-
tirely different from the one
which started the 1881 season.
Maranville, one of the games
marvels, has been shifted to Sec
ond and now is a cog in the
combination which includes ShireS
and Akers, who are newcomers
this year. and UrbanSkSi, who
was obtained late last season.
The new infield, like that at
Detroit, Is clicking handsomely
and that has played no small part
in the success Of the club.
I am not overlooking the part
which Bob Brown and Huck Belts
have played in the uplift Of the
Braves. In the early rating Of
the team I am sure that none
of the dopesters counted heavily
on either of these pitchers, but
here it is past the Fourth Of
July and they are still among
the consistent winners. It is
the new men who fool the dope
Sters.

SEABURY WITNESS Is KILLED As RESULT 0F
 FINANCIAL DISPUTE

NEW YORK, Jan. {, P)-George Colgan, Jr., son of the boxing com mission, and witness in the Sc a- bury case, was shot and killed by a former business partner with whom he had financial disputes.
 Colgan was shot down in the di- rectorS room of the SeabOard Sand & Gravel Corporation by John Raggonetti who then shot himself through the head in an attempt to commit suicide. He is still alive.
 Colgan and Raggonetti had met with J. G. Shaw and three other men in an effort to come to an agreement over a dispute arising out of their former association. Raggonetti began a long arraign- ment of his former partner and ac- cused him of double dealing and misrepresentation of funds.
 Colgan replied in similar vein and Raggonetti arose, took a weapon from his hip pocket and despite att tempt.s of Shaw to intervene, shot Colgan through the head.
