Deems Made Double Play
In BiIIino Vaudeville

times and Diz tried to remember
what he was supposed to say after
Paul said "Yup," which was not IN
the script.
It guess you're right Diz gen.
orally concluded, to the satisfaction
of everybody, especially Paul.
That killed baseball in vaudeville,
and I believe 1t killed vaudeville at
the same time, which was scored IN
the box score as double-play,
J. Dean to P Dean.
Twenty years previously, Rabbit
Maranville almost killed vaudeville
and himself simultaneously while
demonstrating. from stage IN
Maine, how he slid home with a
crucial run in the World Series
of 1914. Putting his heart into the
play. the Rabbit slid clean over the
footlights and into bass drum
where he sustained broken leg
and was out of vaudeville for the
balance OF the season.
That still does not explain what
they are going to do with Bucky
Walters in the movies. except pay
him a salary. If they never go any
farther than that. it probably will
be all right with Bucky.

doesn't do business that way. He
moves in to fight at close range and
Phillip is counting on this style to

Armstrong on the floor at least once.
If he does the evenings success is
assured.
Bill Banks, colored lightweight

similar to Furrs. cracked Armstrong
couple of times yesterday in a

No, chums, David Johnsen's con-

the first time.
AS in July. johnson dropped a
close first set. 4-6. but then turned
on the heat to all but blast Welsh
from the court by the walkaway
scores Of 81, SO. In contrast to
his first victory. which was achieved
largely by keeping Welsh of balance
in his backhand corner. johnson
produced a sparkling array Of shots
to beat Barney at his own hard
driving game.

Losing only one of his l3 services
johnson twice won games with serv-
ice aces. whereas Welsh. whose shakv
service caused him to drop of II
double -faulted with the advantage
against him to lose the seventh
game Of the final set. Welsh broke
through JohnSen'S service for the
only time to seize a 4-3 lead in the
first set. winning on his own next
two services. but from then on 1t
was all johnson.
The patent leather kid ran up a
SO margin in the second before
Welsh averted shutout on his own
service, and after each had taken
their services in the first four games
of the third set, Davey rolled of four
