JACK HAS OLD
TARGET AGAIN
Lack of Sparring Part-

Champ’s Training—
Godfrey Is Handed
Few
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y..
Aug. 24.—-—Bccausevof the shortage
of sparring partners at Jack Demp-
sey's training camp at Saratogs
Lake. where the champion is train-
ing for his coming bout with Luis
Angel Firpo. the Argentine heavy-
weight. on September 14. Dempsey
was obliged to return to the heavy-
weight boxers for his spurring proc-
tice yesterday.
George Godfrey. the negro who is
an old target for Dempsey's blows.
and Jack Burke. the Philadelphia
light heavyweight. came back for
more yesterday and worked two
rounds each with the champion. The
remainder of the afternoon's train-
ing consisted of two rounds punch-
ing the small bag. three rounds with
the large bag and two rounds of
shadow boxing.‘ In the morning
Dempsey went through the regular
road exercise and went out on the
road again tonight for u couple of
hours.
Lack of sparring partners may
seriously interfere in the Champion‘-
training. according to the present
outlook. Already two of his spur—
ring mates. Billy \Vells. welter-
weight champion of England. and
Rioux. the French-Canadian heavy-
weight. have left the camp.
Plans are being made to supply
the champion with trainers and one
of the first calls for help has already
been answered. Shortly before 9
o'clock last night. Terry Miller. the
New Jersey welterweight. come to
the Dempsey quarters and expressed
his intention of staying and working
out with the champion for a. couple
of weeks. Others are expected to
arrive today.
urko angered Dempsey consider-
ably when he ran around the ring.
during the first round of their spar-
riifg engagement. at such a pace
that the. champion was ugnble to do
anything more than register a. light
tup now find then. Shortly after the
second session started Dempsey drove
the fleet-footed boxer into s. corner.
where he caught Burke on the chin
with a. stinging right that knocked
him into the ropes. where he clung
until his chin cooled.

HEYDLER T0 SUE SPORT PAPER »
m FIGHT FOR CLEAN BASEBALL
NEW YORK. Aug. :4.—wmt the
scandalous Reds-“'hlte Sox series. of
1919 still fresh in their minds.
which caused . the banishment of
several stars of the latter team
from baseball. New York fans were
busy today discussing the talk of a
new scandal involving the Reds and
Giants—this story. emanating from
a. Chicago sport weekly—Collycr‘s
Eyewn'hich charged that . Duncan
and Bohne and s. third player, whOsc
identity has not been revealed. were
approached by a. gambler with of-
fers of 815,000 apiece to influence
their play in the recent crucial ser-
ies between the Giants and Reds in
Cincinnati. the result of which seri
ies was five straight victories for
the “’orld's Champions.
Although he says he doesn‘t take
any stock in the allegations. Presi-
dent Heydler of the National League
declares that there'll be a thorough
investigation. Both players named
vigorously deny under oath that
any gambler spproached them with
a proposition to throw the games
with the Giants.
lieydler. who says that his organ-
imtion intends to go to court to seek
redress for the publication of such
scurrilous charges as the Chicago
sport paper publishes in its current
issue, issued the following statement
after having conferred with several
Cincinnati players and writers trav-
elling with the club:
“This hearing was called by me
in order to take the offensive against
any effort by anybody to start. any-
thing ogalnst baseball. A weekly
sports publication in Chicago re-
cently ran a black headline across
its front page. 'Another Scandal
Rocks Baseball.‘ and it used the
names and pictures of Duncan and
Bohne in connection with the arti-
cle. The players were sttacked only
by inference. suggestion and innu-
endo. The paper has no great in-
fluence in sport circles. and ‘none to
speak of in baseball circles. but
nevertheless I felt impelled by past
experience to make instant inves-
ligation.
“I called the Cincinnati news-
papermen accompanying the club
to be present. throughout the hear-
ing. Both players took oath before
me that they had not even been ap-
proached by any gambler or bet-
ting man.
"I consider this attack as calcu-
lated to damage these players and
their club. and I suggested‘ that they
at once bring civil and criminal ac-
tion against this sheet. I also urged
the Cincinnati Club to take similar
action.
“Both players favored this sug-
gestion strongly and declared they
would at once do so. In conclusion
I wish to take the ground that no
publication is too small or unrelia-
ble. or no direct charge against a.
National League player. be it ever
so craftlly or ‘safely' worded. is too
insignificant for us to afford to pass
it by. The charge may be unfound-
rd. but whoever makes it will hove
to go through with it to the-end.
A court investigation will quickly
clear an innocent player. and it will
also bring out much to give weight
to charges against a guilty player.
"The charges against Duncan and
Bohne appear to me to be silly and
unfounded. but that has nothing
whatever to do with the National
League's duty toward the game in
general. “‘e are going to do all in
our power to make this publication
show cause why is attacked twb of
our players. “'0 are not satisfied to
favor clean baseball; we will fight
for clean baseball.
Garry Hermann made the follow-
ing: statement:
"List week. immediately after my
attention was called to the article.
i telegraphed to Baseball Commis-
sioner Landis regarding it. The
Commissioner answered within an
hour. commenting on the nature of
the publication making the charges.
but suggested that there’ be no le-
tion at once and that we wait until
it is ascertained whether there will
be further stories of the kind as
hinted at by the publication.
“As matters stand there is noth-
ing definitely charged. but certainly
the, directors are willing to take any
steps to protect Bohne and Duncan
and all other players on the team.
“If Bohne and Duncan file suit
we will do all we can to assist
them."
