New York, July 1 - (U.P) Say it ain't so, Joe, say 1t ain't so. mean that interview with you that was published in the New York pa- pers yesterday. You know the one l mean-the one that said you had planned to wait until the 10th round to knock out Galento, so that for nine rounds you might have the "pleasure" of cutting him, butcher ing him, beating him, and making him pay for the gross remarks he had made about you.
 That isn't like you, Joe. You're not that kind of guy. In the years you have been champion you have con- ducted yourself with 8 dignity, an aloofness, that has done more for your race than anything that has been donce since Booker T. Wash ington died.
 Knowing you were better than the men sent out to face you, you have carried your superior abilities with becoming lightness. You have &C., cepted the power in your fists, the speed in your legs, as a natural heri- tage; something to be handled with care lest you damage too much those less blessed.
 You don't mean to tell me, and the entire world, that you are throwing overheard all your sports manship because of a few remarks that one challenger made. His taunts, his boasts, his wild declaim- ing, were born of desperation. They were, actually, tribute to you and your skill inside the ropes.
 Bad Business
 Prize fighting is a nasty business, and we all know it is, but we don't like to be told that 1t Is. Certainly not by the champion. Until that in terview yesterday you had done lot to lift the business of fighting with the fists above the street level. There were millions of us, Joe - here and abroad - who saw in you something that transcended mere mauler, common brawler. The

SS. Peter And Paul
 SOftball

The gentle rain which fell on our fair city last night kept the dust on Sts. Peter & Paul's softball 1 diamond down, but it failed to do J likewise to the single mems team, which defeated a bunch of old de- crepit married men, IT to 2. The two runs were a gift from James Patricius Shean, who, because he will join their ranks in the near future could not bring himself to be responsible for a married mems shutout.
 From the first half of the first inning when Ken Yankem Blan- shard put pop fly through the bushel basket which Al Scabota carried at short, the outcome of the alleged contest was never in doubt. The single men lambaSted the offerings of the Bill Foley like @ gang of criminals. As a matter of fact, George Daly narrowly escaped arrest when he hit home run with the bases loaded in the fifth. It was only as a personal favor to Dan Farrell, who calls 'em as he sees lem that Foley let Daly go. Before Bill Gleason, who patrolled center field chased so many fly balls that it was necessary for him to order a pair of concrete arch supports for his "dogs" following the game.
 The game marked the debut of the Kern Bros, Bill and Fred, who ordinarily do not come out of hi- bernation until mid-July. Schaeffer who caught a nice game through cak finished by catching a pan of Eater directly the game was over.

VETERAN ROOT
 BEATS REDS FOR
 INITIAL VICTORY
Control of Chicago Pitcher Remarkable-YankS
 Win Again
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Corresponder

 New York, July l. - (UP) - Ol Charley Root, daddy of all major league pitchers, gave the Cincinnati! Reds hurling corps lesson yes- terday trey had better learn if any of them are counting on pitching ir the World Series against the Yan- kees next October. That lesson is control.
 Root, who passed his 40th birth day last March r, pitched the Cubs to a 5-1 victory over the Reds and did not walk single man. It was his first triumph this season. Johnny Wander Nicer started for the Reds and after walking four men in the second inning, was ejected by Um- pire ziggy Sears for protesting his ball and strike decisions.
 Before Wander Nicer left he had walked in one run. Then Whitney Moore came in and walked in an- other run. Those two runs were good enough to win for the Cubs. Wander Nicer and Moore allowed only four hits, but they walked nine men. Root gave up eight hits but he didn't give anybody a free ticket !. Walt Athon
 The Reds Big Five" has walked 194 men this season, with Wander Nicer and Moore the big offenders. Wander Nicer leads the le gaue in walks with 63, and Moore has given 55. Bucky Walters has walked 38, Lee Grisson 27 and Paul Derringer only II in IF innings, the leagues best record. Any time Derringer loses he gets beat by the other side. He never licks himself.
 Only run made off Root was Ernie Lombardi's homer. (No. 12). The defeat cut the Reds lead over the idle Giants to games and ele- vated the Cubs to within half a game of third place.
 The Brooklyn-Philadelphia night game at Ebbets field was rained out for the second straight evening, and Dodger president, Larry MacPhail announced 1t would be played the night of September 2.
 The Yankees won a Thinning game from the Senators - shortened by rain and darkness - 1O-2, behind oral Hildebrands four-hit pitching. The champs slugged Carrasquel and Krakauskas for 13 hits, including triples by Dahlgren and Rolfe. It was No. 5 for Hildebrand.
 Two boots in the first inning cost the White Sox two runs and Detroit beat Chicago, 3-1. With runners on first and second, Catcher Fresh threw to second to catch McCoskey off. The ball went into center field and McCoskey scored and Fox ad- vanced. Then Luke Appling fumbled Averill's grounder and Fox scored. Buck Newsom held the White Sox to eight hits in winning his eighth.

"The Champ"
 Improving By The Hour
BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, July 1-(UP)-Every time the clock ticked today Jack Dempsey's brawny body crowded the poison of peritonitis 8 little closer to the ropes, and unless the old "Manassa Mauler" suffered a relapse, he was expected to deliver kalo wallop to the germ some time tonight.
 Every passing minute increases Dempsey's chances of complete re- covery," was the medical opinion at Polyclinic hospital where Jack was rushed for the removal of @ burst appendix Thursday night.
 The 44-year- former heavy weight champion spent 8 comfort able night and all signs pointed to- ward his recovery from an affliction that was about 95 per cent fatal only @ few years ago.
 His condition was so markedly improved last night that Mrs Dempsey did not feel 1t necessary to spend the night at the hospital as she did on Thursday night, when he sank so low that restoratives had to be used to prevent his collapse. Dr. Robert Brennan, who performed the operation with Dempsey under only spinal anesthetic, found his , condition satisfactory enough that he abandoned scheduled midnight check-up.
 Mrs. Dempsey, the former Han- nah Williams of musical comedy fame, left the hospital at 2:30 this morning. She was cheerful for the first time since Jack was brought to the hospital. She told of his awakening from @ nap about nnid- night.
 "When does a guy get something to eat around here?" he growled She replied the doctor would not let him eat anything solid yet.
 "Well, how about something cool to drink, I'm getting sick of this hot stuff," he said.
 Mot until tomorrow" she an- swered him. Nothing but warm liquids until tomorrow"
 Most encouraging was the steady decrease in Jacks temperature from 101.2 to 100.8 through the evening, and the minimum of pain he suf- fered. If peritonitis continued to penetrate his system, it would be marked by increasing temperature and pain.
 The crisis period for acute peril tonitis cases, usually comes within 72 hours and this would make 1t due on Sunday night. The expe- diency with which Jack was taken to the hospital and operated upon, however, prevented penetration of the inflammation farther than the pelvic regions.
 Telephone calls from all over the country clogged the hospitals switchboard as several erroneous re- ports of Jacks death were circulat- ed last night. Panaceas of every type were offered. One man of- fered to donate blood for a trans fusion and another told how a damp loaf of bread placed over 8 wound had drawn peritonitis poisoning out of @ friend.

ment of chemical warfare. Since
his retirement from active duty
he and Mrs. Fries have made
their permanent home in Wash
ington, where they have a very
wide circle of friends, not only
among officers of the Army and
their families, but in civilian
circles as well. The general takes
an active part in all patriotic
activities and Mrs. Fries is equally
prominent in similar organiza-
tions and affairs.
With them for the anniversary
are Capt. Frederic A. Henney,
U. S. A, just back from ma
neuverS at Fort Knox, KY, Mrs.
Henney and their two sons, Fred
eric A. Henney, jr., and Alan
