BASEBALL STILL GOING STRONG

In just a few short weeks, base balls World Series will swing in to action once more and those bright lads who predicted the de- mise of this popular pastime be- cause of the current conflict will si- lently crawl into their tents and hope that they remain unnoticed.
 Some of the critics, prophets, only to themselves, predicted that the bat and ball major loops would never start the year 1914. When many minor circuits locked the ball yards for the duration, these wiz ards chuckled with glee and began the usual act of "I Told You so."
 When the majors began to func- ton in April no matter where one looked these foretellers of the fu- ture had disappeared from the pub lie prints or like so many former sports writers were trying hard to dope out the international situa- tion.
 Yet, here it is August, and St. Louis seems destined to hold a Subway" World Series unless the Sox or the Yankees put on hot finish. So the laugh is on the critics who took their own pulse instead of the public's.

was a street brawl, devoid entire ly of science or skill, and wit messed by a gape-mouthed, hyster- ical mob of 90,OO0 people, who cursed, screamed, broke chairs and clawed at each other throughout three minutes and 57 seconds of the most violent action ever staged th1s side of battlefield.
 Knocked oat of the ring and in- to the lap of a sportswriter by one Firpo's bull-like rushes, Dempsey went on to win by hitting faster and more often than his opponent. He floored Firpo nine times, went down twice himself. On three oc- casions Firpo, who had been knocked out of his mind the first time Dempsey clubbed him to the canvass, fell flat on his face. Yet each time he regained his feet and charged at the champion snarling like cougar.
 The last time Firpo fell, he went down as though he had been hit with an axe. For six seconds he lay there inert, blood-flowing from his nose and mouth. At eight he pulled himself to one knee. Then the prop collapsed and he toppled back again. "Ten." the referee droned-and that was the end of the sweetest little battle of them all.

der the glaring sun at Toledo, Ohio to inaugurate a new and spectacu- lar era in American athletics-the golden age of sport
 By the same calendar, it will be 21 years come September that Dempsey, then four years a cham pion, knocked out Luis Angel Fir DO, battle-mad bull of the Argen- tine pampas, in what Paul Calico | has described as the purest exhibi- tion of untrammeled savagery, tru- culence and sustaine animosity in the history of the ring.
 Today Dempsey is a lieutenant commander in the United States Coast Guard and as such is play ing his part in winning the biggest fight he ever saw in his life, but even now the memory of those two earlier, strictly personal grudges brings the glint of battle to lis eye.
 In the Toledo fight, the dish nosed Dempsey, who still wore box car cinders in his hair, was a hun- gry tiger. He spotted the grotes- que Willard 65 pounds in weight and then proceeded to give him the most savage one-round beating any many ever absorbed in a fight.
 At the opening bell, Dempsey came out of his corner like a eat. He bobbed and weaved. Then he struck. His first blow opened Will lard's cheek to the bone. His second punch sent the giant crashing to the floor. Six more times Willard went down, his face smashed to a pulp. The bell saved his life.
 Dempsey hadn't heard the bell. He thought the fight was over and it took ten minutes to get him back into the ring. Then the fight went on. Paving, stumbling, grop- ing blindly, Willard lasted until late in the third when Dempsey's famed one-two delivery, sicken- ing right to the body, terrific Iron Mike left to the jaw, sent the champion sprawling to the floor, a shattered bloody mass of jelly. Will lard couldn't come out for the fourth.
 The Firpo fight solidified Dennp- sey's reputation as killer. This

PIGSKIN DATA

Within the next few weeks the pigskin patrol will take over the athletic scene, with hitherto unex- pected intensity.
 Recovering from bad case of war-itis, football has decided to don the headgear and shoulder pads this coming fall in what premises to be the best season since the start of the war. Schools all over the country have already voiced their intention of scheduled activity, and the number of institutions of learn ing dropping out of the picture is confined to a very few.
 Most of the competition will con sist of newiy-arrived freshmen, plus few veterans of Navy class es. Turnouts for preseason prac- tice show candidates reaching into the hundreds in some of the larger Midwest Colleges.
 If the progress of the war con- tinues as favorably as it has we may expect a season almost paral- leling the pre-war era. Gate re- ceipts of the past couple years have indicated that the fan is developing keener appreciation of the sport and that the coming season is ex- pected to pack them in.
