L‘nless unexpected complications de-

er of tho Yonkees. will be ready tor
the game when Miller Huggins leads
his merry men on the road for the
second invasion of the \Vcst. Shang
himself is the authority for the above
statement. and Shnng also is the au-
thority for the statement that he will
be mighty glad to get back in the
nine. Hallie checked in at the Stud.
lum yrstcrduy and took a couple of
cuts at the ball in butting practise
Then he stood out in the sun and
seemed to be glad he was around.
Shsng showed the effects of the
siege. He has lost weight. and there
is something more than the sugget-
tion of a. pallor in his face. The
swelling in his glands has not entirely
subsided and the surgeons told Shang
to be careful about 0\ erexerting him-
self. Wherefore. Wallis did not at-
tempt any strenuous labors. But a
bail player would lime to be dead. or
next to it. before he would tecllne
that one last’shot in batting practise.
"I expect to be ready to take the
Western trip," declared Shang. “it
has been a long. long siege since Mem-
orial day. and it seemed longer. es-
pecially when the team lost. But
those slumps often hit a. foam. and it
would not have been any different if
I had been behind the plate. I've
been in there when the team looked
terrible. and I looked as terrible as
any one else. I guess the boys could
go after any player that ever wort.-
spiked shoes and prove absolutely
that ho was to blame for all the were
of the game. I remember the story of
Larry Injole, who failed to hit safely
in 28 times at but. yet in that limo
he slammed about fifteen wallops that
were caught by miraculous efforts in
the defense. lie laughed at the state-
ments that he was in a slump. but the
fact remains that he was not getting
' his hits.
. "The Yankees were in a. bad mess
when I was forced out of nctlon for
the reason that Freddie Hoffman was
limping as a result of water on the
knee. iiofmnnn still is Hulllr the
Weather. but. he is out there everyday.
and if all the players say about his
work is true Frcd is mnkln‘g a good
10b of it. He is shooting for the
fences. Hi ray that. and is hitting:
them. too. His homer yostr May and
his triple the tlii)’ before would indi-
cnte that he swings a. mean stick."

EVENLY MATCHED
Dempsey-Gibbons Phy sica
Measurements Prove that
Neither has Advantage
SHELBY. ..iont.. June 21 .-A study
cf the measurments of Dempsey and
Gibbons shows that. they will be the
most evenly matched Ileavyueights
who ever fought for the title. Corbett
was twcnly~thrce pounds lighter than
Sullivan when he wrestcd the crown
from the old master. Fltzsimmons. in
turn. was twenty-two pounds lighter
than Corbett. Fltzsimmons had to give
Jim Jeffries fifty-five pounds when he
lost the title, and Jefiries had a de-
cided edge in both height and weight
when he lost the title to Jack John-
son. The black man looked like a boy
beside the hulking “’ill at. Havana.
and Dempsey gave awn, everything
but the victory when he faced the Pot—
tawatomie giant at Toledo. There will
be no such discrepancies when Demp-
sey and Gibbons answer the gong at
Shelby.
Dempsey will be a quarter of an
inch taller and possibly eight pounds
heavier. In all other respects the
champion and challenger vwlll be so
evenly. matched that further conipari-
son is not worth? while. Even ‘ln ago.
there is only one year's difference be-
tween the two.
Gibbons has been reported as. 34
years old. but he denied it vigorously.
Tommy says his brother Mike is 34.
but they are not twins. and that he is
only 19 He adds that the record-books
always have had his age 'wrong. but
that he has never thought it worth
while to have the correction made un-
til now. As he is to battle for the
championship. however. he wants his
trio 3 to finow that he is not an old
ma. meeting a. youngster: that the
contest will not be another of those
struggles between age and. youth. The
