Jersey City. next Saturday afternoon.
A large entry has been received for
the annual meet. in which all regis—
tcrcd athletes who have not won a.
senior National A. A. U. or an in-
ternaiional collegiate championship
are eligible to compete. The track

auspices of the Jersey City Chamber
of Commerce will get under way at
gill; following events comprise the
championship program: 100 yards
run. 220 yards run, 440 yards run.

Homer Baker, former star half
milcr. has given the well known pull
of dope oneot’ the swiftcst kicks
ever recorded. Three days ago the
great runner put in an appearance
at several of his former haunts in
this city in the role of serious mind-
ed bencdict. having twa weeks ago
married Miss Grace Black of San
Antonio. Tex. \Vhile ”doing" the
East on his honeymoon he paid a
visit to the home of his parents.
who reside in Brooklyn.
Baker has made good. and in this
way he has made the prophets look
a. bit. embarrassed. A few years ago
the "wise ones" could see ought but
an iuglorlous end for the former ein-
dcrp nth star. "Poor old
119' S through at an athlete, and what
is left for him?
He was just a track
man. nothing more," chirped the
gossips. ’l‘ ey figured wrongly. very
wrongly, h 'evcr.
Four years ago Baker accepted a
pesitlon as physical director at Ga-
tun in the Canal Zone. From the
first day of his engagement as head
of the department he made good.
Athletics began to boom in that
"corner" of the globe and Baker be-
came the man of the hour. athletic.
ally. Hearing of the good work
which “Homeless" was accomplish-
ing the officials in charge of the ex-
ecutive affairs of tlic Vocational
'l‘_rnining School at San Antonio.
'l‘cx.. made him an offer to take up
with them. This was a, iwclvemonth
:tgo. Two weeks after receiving the
Texas offer Baker was "on the Job."
llo has been there ever smcc. and
will return to his post early in the
fail.
Baker has had a brilliant competi-
tive career. Not a. consistent per—
former by any means. but when he
flashed he flashed brilliantly. Ho
«lid not confine his efforts to halt
llillf‘. running. although his best per-
formances were at this distance.
Perhaps one of his most notable
performances was his 1:54 “half"
run at Stamford Bridge. London.
about eight years ago. Baker was
several times the winner of the Na-
tional A. A. U. outdoor half mile
title and gathered unto himself the
"1.000" indoor on numerous occa~
slons.
According to his friends
has put on little weight. He keeps
almost as fit as of yore. No more
running. of course. but lots of free
hand exercises and handball. Golf
also has claimed his attention.

IN HIS PURSE
Leaves for U. S. With
$35, 000 Due Him As
Share of Bloomfield
Bout
(By Associated Pius.)
LONDUX. Aug. 13.-—-—Tommy Gib-
bons. the American boxer. who de-
featcd Jack Bloomfield here last Sat-
urday. left for home last night. says
about $35. 000 he claims is still duo
him from the box office receipts of
the fight, but Wflh his optimism still
unshaken and with the greatest ad-
miration for English sportsmen.
Gibons announced his proposed
departure for the United States af-
ter declaring he had been unable to
locate Arnold W'ilson, the fight pro-
moter who was said to have gone to
Liverpool under physicians' orders.
It was stated that the promoter is
suffering from I. nervous breakdown
brought on by the strain of manag-
ing the Gibbons—Bloomfield con-
test.
" The American fighter said he had
received only £3,000 of the £11,000
he had expected from the proceeds
of his meeting with Bloomfield.
W'hat receipts there were from the
fight. however. are safe in the bank.
and a. chartered accountant. who has
been installed in Wilson's office to
figure up the proceeds. will disburse
them in a. few days. In the mean
time the Gibbons end of the case is
in the hands of the boxer's lawyers.
Gibbons has insisted that the
fighters who took part in the prelim-
inaries of Saturday s show should be
paid the small amount due them
before his share is taken out. Some
of these preliminary boxers from the
English provinces are marooned in
Ijondon without carfaro home.
According to Gibons. his contract
called for the payment of £11,000
before going into the ring. He said

By NORMAN E BROWN
Fans of“ the west, who see many
big league stars in. the making and
then needs must follow their careers
in the big t ime through the news-
papers, are considerably interested
in Denver Grigsby these (in)!-
Grigsby. iefthandcr and member
of the wrecking crew. is one of the
men who have kept the Cubs in the
pennant chase.
Those fans expected Grlgsby to
make good. The young man “no
originally hailed from Jackson. Ky ,
gave them something to talk about
in the way of baseball before
Went up.
Two interesting bits that he add-
ed to the baseball archives yrhile
getting his start were:
Four home runs in one day.
Pitching five games in Nb days,
winning three of them the second
day.
Grigsby started on«thc road to
baseball fame as a. pitcher—4.1
southpaw—~for his high school at
Sapuip's. Okla. In that state. accord-
ing to W. T. Huff. sporting editor
of the Muskogee Phoenix. school
baseball c hamplonships are as bitter
ly fought as are football champion-
ships in other a tales.
Grlgsby pitched his team to the
state title two years in a. row. The
second year. 1921. Grigsby perform—
ed his iron man stunt. After pitching
a double header one day he went to
the hill threc'times the following
day and won as many games. The
victories gave his team the trophy.
The games were hurled at Mus-
kogec.
At the close of high school days
the Southwestern league club at Sap-
ulps. gave him a. tryout. His terrific
ciouting caused the manager to send
him to the outfield. It was with that
team that he stepped into._four cir-
cuit ciouis in one day.
The Yankees gave him I. tryout
in the spring of 1922. but decided
he needed more seasoning. He play-
ed with Sioux City. Albany and then
Sapulpa. in 1922 and then the Cubs
grabbed him. After looking him over
on the 1923 training Jaunt they sent
him to Wichita Falls in the Texas
league.
Last September the Cubs recalled
him. Arnold Stats. Hag Miller and
Cliff Heathcoate were slat ed to
spend the year in the Cut outer gar-
dens when the season opened. Gribso
by. however. had something to say
about that—and said it with bass
hits.
Wherefore the west is smiling the
smile of a. man who sees his judg-
ment. vindicated. For the Sapuips.
and Muskogee folk and others
around Oklahoma knew that Ithe
big show was going to include “Deu-
ver" some day;
that he received £3,000 before the
fight, but hasn’t beeu’able to collect
the remainder. nor has he been suc-
cessful in locating Promoter Wilson.
Mast of the £3, 000. he declared,
went for heavy training expenses.
But the American is not down-
beat-ted. -
“I've nothing but the greatest ad-
miration for English sportsmen as a
whole," he said. "Everywhere I've
had a. royal time. I'm an optimist.
If the {8.000 comes along to me la-
ter it'll be welcomed. Iflt doesn't
—weli. it can't be helped."

Confer Today on New Date for Serap—John-
ston Halts Sale of Tickets—Walker Stops

Late in September
NEW YORK. August 13,—Thc
indefinite postponement of the
Leonard-Walker welterweight cham-
pionship fight. occasioned by the in.-
jury to Leonard's thumb in his bout
with I’al Moran in Cleveland Mon-
day night. has quite overshadowed
all other developments in boxing
circles. The Boxing Commission
was silent on the affair yesterday.
and everything depends on the out-
come ‘of the meeting between the
representatives of Leonard and
Walker. which will be held today.
Meanwhile matters are at a stand-
still. Mickey \V’alker has stopped
training. and Jimmy Johnston, pro—
moter of the bout. has called off the
advance sale of tickets. which had
already reached mcrative propor-
tions. It remains to be ascertained
just what the extent of Leonard‘s
injury is and “hen the postponed
bout will be held.
Johnston was in low spirits \es-
terday. He felt like a seer who wit-
nesses the coming of the evil he had
foretold. Johnston had tried his ut-
most to have cLonard call off his
bout with Pal Mran. and then, fall-
ing in this. he had contemplated
having Leonard, something he neg~
lecled to do. As it. is the very thing
has happened which Johnston fear-
ed. namely. an injury to the light-
weight champion which would pre-
vent the holding of the bout. with
the anarchy consequent upon such a
turn of affairs.
It was expected at first. when
news came of the cassualty to Leo—
nard, that Billy Gibson would be in
town early enough to hold a meeting
last night to adjust matters. but Gib-
son arrived too lave. Today’s meet-
ing, therefore. will have for it pur-
pose the setting or another date for
the bout. In some quarters it IS ex-
pected that the bout “ill be held
