Dundee 6.1. very persistent about-
going through with the match to-
nlght. insisting that he be examined
by s doctor and weighed. but the
management insisted that it would
mean a heavy financial loss and
claimed his right to postpone from
the above clause in his contract. The
commission. believing that the man-
agement was likely to meet with a
disappointing patronage and us Leon
ard was perfectly willing. through
his manager. liilly Gibson. to sub-
mit to the physical examination and
weighing-in it was decided that the
best thing to do was to postpone the
bout. which was sanctioned by the
commission.
llllly Gibson. manager of Leon-
ard. made the following statement:
“There is a clause in the (ontract
iwliii it permits the Cromwell A. C. to
postpone the bout or definitely call
it off " said Gibson "this clause is
.in practically uc‘r) boxing contract
made in this State and is certain to
be upheld by the Boxing Commis
sion. The clause provides that a
principal cannot take part in another
bout for a stipulated number of days
previous to the engagement ho~is
contracted for. Further than that
the contract also provides that if, in
the opinion of the promoter. either
principal has lessened his drawing
pOVt't‘l'. has decreased his chances of
making worthy opposition. the pro-
moter can postpone the bout or call
it off altogclhcr.

t‘llilfit'li the bout to be looked upon as
a Joke bout in which Dundee would
upptnr not 0 have a chance to win.
"Tho Cromwell A. C. apparently
acted in the bcllcf that Dundue's ac-
tions had caused a depreciation in
tin,- xuiuo of the bout and .~onse—
quvntly decided upon a postpone

Is Staggering
Jack Dempsey. world heavyweight
champion. is willing to meet Harry

the Job.
The Broad A. C. of Newark has
been eager to get a m’atch with which
to open the new Dreamland outdoor
stadium of Newark and one of the
officials of the club made the trip
to Saratoga last week to see Jock
Kcarna. Dcinpsvy's manager. The
club thought that tho 80,000 arcna
could draw enough at New Jersey's
lcgal top prices to warrant Demp-
scy‘s accepting a percentage proposal
for the bout, but the Newark or-
ganization was astoundcd by the de-
mand of the champion’s manager.
The club has spcnt nearly $7.000
finishing the seats at the arena.

out now whetho-r it will be possible
at all to grant Dempsey's demands,
large as they are.
There. has always been much spe-

could do with such a comparatively
small man as “rob. and the chain—

Dempscy demands makes it appear
that he docs not consider Grcb lightv

severely to do well against the Pitts-

The club if it decides not to agree
to Dempsey‘s terms will try to get
Jimmy Jones of Youngstown. who
is- recognized in New York as the
welterweight champion. to meet

In other cities about the state the
High school teams are properly

in which the schools are locuud. in
a great many instanCcs. make lnrgt
donations to the school to buy such
equipment. This is not the case in
Norwalk. The local team has been
going along from season to station
with very poor equipment. Some of
tho players have played without
shoes and others without the proper
pants. Jersey's and stockings.
The fact that the local team has
not had uniform jerseys tin- also
been a great handicap to the. suc-
cess of the eleven in past years. This
season Coach “‘illiam I’lunkon has
worked very hard at the “fest ave-

SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. Y“
Sept. 6.—Jack Dempsey started his
preparation for defense of his world'-
heavyweight- championship against
Luis Angel Flrpc at the Polo grounds
a week from Friday night.
Dempsey plans to work with the
mauling, hard hitting hea\y-weights
for the balance of the week and than
switch to light sparring partners to
' .put him on edge.
Refreshed by his layoff Tuesday,
Dempsey in the opinion of his hand--
lers. is in superb physical and mental
condition for the final spurt of his
training campaign.
\V‘iiile playing cards. the cham-
pion willingly talked about the im-
pending: contest. He declared he was
going to be ready for whatever might
happen.
"I get all sorts of
Firpo." Dempsey said. "I don't care
if they say he's tough or soft. I'm
going to be rtady. A fellow can‘t
take any chances with a guy that can
advice abo u:
roak. “'ouidn't it be tough to net
krocked over. I expect that Firpo
will pull everything he can. I'm
going to do the same thing. I'm :.or
going to wait till he hits me. Not if
I can soak him first."

REPLY TO HOYT’S
,Sporting Editor. *
South Norwalk. Sentin‘
Dear Sir:
In one of your recent issues. the
writer had the pleasure of reading
inn article. criticising the writnp on
i the “'ilinn K. of C. ball game played
at the Easter grounds on August
26th.
The article was more than amus-
ing and undoubtedly required much
time. and study to prepare. The
writer of the article in question. most.
naturally desires to see his home
club win. when they show the abili-
ty, like my lover of the game. but
he has never failed to give credit
when credit was due. to every team
and as readily criticises the faults
and bones of his home team. as well
as others. “'e all know that the Bax-
tcr grounds were very dusty the day
of the game. and without doubt some
of the dust settled in your corres-
pondents eyes. impairing his vision.
judging from his views. regarding the
lcft..ficld foul made by Davis. Had
he been in a position to see the foul
line and a clear vision he would
have no wagon to question the decis-
ion.
If our friend had had the oppor-
tunity to follow base ball as long as
some “sympathizers” he would un-
derstand the technicalities of the
game much.more readily. and be wil-
ling to admit. that the breaks in a
ball game out quite some figure’ as
to the results. For instance. the ball
that. took a. most udden bound.
striking Pleasants the fore head,
then rose up in the air for near twen-
ty feet prevented a. possible double.
play and allowed the batter to make
first, later scoring, is a. little illus-
ltration of the significance of the
breaks. As to the 'funl‘airncss" of
Mgr. Riley in with drawing Micha-
Icck after he made two fumbles and
a wild throw in one inning, it is evi-
dent that our friend has had very
little experience. as a baseball man-
ager. and unfortunately labors under
the delusion. that he is more compe-
tent than Mr. Riley, like many oth-
ers. “'hen the writer is convinced
that it is unadvisable to give a true
version of the plays made durfng a
ball game. from an unbiased stand
point. he will most gladly relinquish
said duties to our 'expert critic' who
no doubt would be much more mo-
derate in his write ups. were be able
to eliminate prejudice.
