Did you know there were two
Jack Dempseys in the fight busi-
ness? The first and foremost, of
course. is the Manassa Mauler, most
famous heavyweight in history, with
the possible exception of Mr.. Joe
Louis Barrow.
The second Dempsey was a cham
pion too. In 1884 Jack Dempsey
won the middleweight champion
ship of the world by knocking out
George Fulljames in the 22nd round
of their bareknuckle fight.
The middleweight's record was
even better than the heavyweight's
for he won Al of his fights against
three losses to give him an aver
age of. $40 while his famous name
sake won SIS battles while drop
ping five for a .916 average.
Bareknuckler Dempsey'S earnings
could not compare with the $5,000,-
OOO that the other Dempsey cleaned
up in his 20 odd years of boxing and
refereeing. The first wearer of the
name made famous throughout box
ing circles the world over fought
in the days when purses Of over II
couple hundred simoleons were un-
known.

The City of Ell Centro softball

for first place with the Imperial
Irrigation District office B league
standings Tuesday night as it wal
loped the Ortiz All-Stars, 1872.
Letting Carl Jackson rest for his
all-star duties Wednesday and Fri

masterful three-hit game. Paul
Gastelum, All-Star shortstop, col
lected two of the three hits when
he singled and then followed with
a double. Vindiola, Star third base
man, hit a double in the first in
ming for the only other hit off
Otis.

Joe Mccarthy, the pudgy veteran
who climbed out of sick bed last
Saturday and then led the American

midst of his unusually quiet players
and took a slightly different tack
on the subject. AS he saw it:

FOR SAN DIEGO GAME

Little Carl Jackson was slated to
go ON the mound Wednesday night
against the Mexicali stars in final
preparation for the All-Star extra
vaganza against San Diego Friday
night in e. Ccntro stadium.
The San Diego softballers boast
ing Joe Hurst, best of the A league
chuckers in Imperial Valley last

are scheduled to invade for the
fourth game for the B leaguers. 1t
will undoubtedly be the toughest
contest for valley team which now
has victories over Yuma and Mexi-
cali to its credit.
In the final summary the game
is liable to end up a pitching due
/ between Jackson, who pitched both
of the B league wins this year
and Hurst. Hurst has been pitch
ing A ball in the coast city and
figures to BATTLE the local boys
with his slants as he did in days
gone by.

CLEV ELAND, j u / y 8.
(UP)-Par articipants in base
balls second big war benefit
show-the first major league
service squad all-star game
scattered tday, and whether they
merely headed for home or departed
for duty at far-flung military out
posts or ships at sea they were IN
complete agreement on one major
point.
That was-the American league
is still the tops.
For once again in all-Star game
produced the old, familier story:
story of power proving more than
match for precision. The Americans,
having won the l941 World series
on power and having turned back
the National league Monday night
with power, used the same long ball
tactics in blanking the picked Army
Navy nine, SO
A roaring crowd of 62,094 persons
who contributed approximately $780,
600 to military relief societies and
spent another $62 ,094 for war stamp
certificates attached to their tickets,
saw the talented young men of he
Junior circuit tu,I1 back Lieut.
Mickey Cochrane's service squad
and do it in a way that was any,
thing but fluky.
TELLER KNOCKED
Before the game was 10 minutes
old, the Americans had slipped Chief
BoatSWain'S Mate Robert Feller-
leading pitcher in the American
league during the past three seasons
for two runs in the first inning
and another in the second. Feller
was knocked out of the box before
he had hardly warmed up.
Actually, the first lining of the
dream" game played over the vast
expense of Cleveland's Lakeside
stadium was the deciding one. The
service squad, which batted first
filled the bases with one man out
and then failed to score. The Amer
leans didn't fill the bases, but they
made two hits good for as MANY
runs and then just coasted home.
The crowd, which had been treat
ed to long and impressive mill
tary show during the two hours pre-
cedlng the game, was given its en-
tire quota of excitement in that
opening inning. Jimmy Bagby. g
member of the local Cleveland team
started on the mound.
The part power played in the
contest was borne out in the statis.
tics. Feller, Johnny Rigney, Micke,
Harris and John Grodzicki. another
former Cardinal, gave the American,
only 10 hits but five of them were
turned into runs. Feller, of course
was the losing pitcher. Four hits
and three. runs were scored off hin
IN one accredited inning.
The service squad, on the Other
hand, collected six hits from Bag
by-the winner-Hudson and Tex
dughson of the Red SoX. but were
unable to turn any of them into
runs. A test black k-out was held
between the bottom and ton of
the six inning, which prompted one
anonymous member of the service
team to remark THE customers
were in the dark for one minute !.

And between them, the two man

game that only a war could produce
II was a dream" game, but 1t
wasn't a great game. The crowd
knew that as the innings rolled on.
Little incidents served as tips to
the boredom that many people in
the big crowd felt but tried to hide.
For instance, there YVES the big re-
ception given Umpire Al Barlick
when he went behind the plate be-
tween halves of the fifth.
Barlick is an ump of the old
school. When he called a strike, he
yelled steee- -riiike in a voice that
carried to every corner OF the vast

called the comic relief of the con-

DIMAGGIO BOOED

Then there was the blackout be-
tween halves of the sixth. This drew
another rearing cheer and with it
boots, whistles and the weird noises
only a baseball crowd can produce.
But the players-Well, after the first
inning the players didn't inspire
much comment. Joe DiMaggio was
booed, without fail, but the crowd
sensed that the game had been won.
And it had.
But if it wasn't a great game
and few SO contests can bet was
a good game. Ernie Andres, former
Louisville player who was the only
minor Lacquer in the contest, did
excellent work. Johnny Rigney, until
two months ago a regular with the
Chicago White Sox, pitched as well
as ever in holding the Americans
to three its in five innings.
AS for the others-well, they all
tried and they tried hard. Bnt the
indefinable something which only
continued practice can supply was
missing somehow A short extra
step that meant the difference be-
tween an easy fielding play and
an opposition single just wasn't
there. And at the plate, the service
players were just bit rusty.
There were 62,094 people in the
stands and at least 100000 went
into the tills Of the Army and Navy
relief organizations. Maybe SIPS. 900
WhateEer the final figure, the sum
