HARRYWILLS
1 Much Work for Negro
1.,Heavyweight Scrap-
per If He Cares to
Fight
It looks like a prosperous winter
for Harry W'ills, providing the Brown
Panther wants to make it such and
can deliver the goods. For a. couple
of years.- until he met Luis Angel
Firpo‘ last Thursday night. the one
time stcvedore either could not or
would not get a match with the top~
notch performers in the heavyweight
division. regardless of color. Harry
from choice or otherwise. messed
. around with the likes of Homer
Smith and Jack Thompson. To be
sure he met Bartley Maddm. but
that really did not amount to much.
3 Now that “fills has erased Firpo
' ’ from the picture he can have all the
.yvork he wants. Jack Renault, who
stands out as the only big fellow
among the white members of the di-
yuiOn rivalllng Wills for a shot at
Jack Dempsey. is willing to step in
with Harry any old time.
Tom Gibbons. a light heavyweight
but. the only man who ever went
the route with Dempsey. has rubbed
out the color line which segregated
him from his ebony brethern
.throughout his career and is eager
to try conclusions with the Brown
Panther.
.Big Ball Tate, huge negro heavy-
weight who has takep a new lease
on life and who finished up all even
with Wills the last time they met. is
telling for another chance to mingle
;.with the Brown Panther. George
Godfrey, Philadelphia negro heavy-
','Ieight.-also would like to play with
Harry. So it is up to Harry whether
he cubes in this winter.
Not one of the fellows mentioned
is insisting that 8. Wills match be
pouponed until the opening of next
.. year’s open air season. One and all.
'they say they are ready to hop into
the ring with the Brown Panther in
. Madman Square Garden or any other
‘ Indoor arena. big enough to hold the
flock of customers such a match
fibula draw.
It is evident that Will's showing
against Firpo was not such as to
make much of an impression upon
his colleagues no matter what the
fistic experts and the laymen may
have-thought of it. None of the other
contenders or would be contenders
are crawling into their holes at the
mention of \Vills. Instead. they are
Jinnping up and demanding a crack
at him. This should be good news
' for Harry. The picking has been very
dean for him. But it need not be that
'3 way any more.

a good margin over his dpponent.

ge Palladino won the decision
from Eddie Lord. both of this city.
Knodtout Not So‘Easy
Inasmuch as Dempsey got away
with the Brennan and Gibbons bouts
without incurring severe criticism. it
is rather unfair to censure Wills be-
cause Firpo stayed. the limit. Putting
over a knockout Wallop is not an
easy task if the other felfow‘knows
how to defend himself. It‘s a cinch to
fltten a crude and awkward perfor-
mer,—a second, third or fourth ra-
ter. - .
Jim Corbett didn’t stop John L.
Sullivan until the‘twenty-flrst round.
If that bout had been limited to
twelve. Corbett might have received
the referee's verdict on points inas-
much as Sullivan was clearly out-
boxed. Jim Jefferies couldn't knock
out Tom Sharkcy in twentydive
rounds. but was declared the winner.

POLO, A MYSTERY
By NORMAN E. BROW'N
This yetir's international polo
matches between the American and
British teams at Mcadowbrook, L.
I.. once.again bring polo into the
foreground in the sport world. Many
followers of other branches of
sport have no definite Idea as to
what the game is. .
The contest i8 played on a level
field 800 yards long and 150 yards
wide. The opposing teams are com-
posed of foun players each. They
are mounted. ‘-
.Action imthe game centers around
efforts ”of the players to drive a
ball across the opponents' goal line.
These goal lines are the centers of
the end lines of the fields and are
20 feet long. Points are scored
when the ball is driven over the goal
line. Fractional points are award-
ed for infraction of the rules,
The ball is made of English wil-
low. It is a, trifle larger than a
baseball and weighs five ounces. If
is driven about with "mallets." ‘
The mallet consists of a handle
from 50 to 54 inches long. made of

forwards and two backs.
The game is supervised by two
umpires. also mounted. It is divid-
ed lilo four periods of seven and
a half minutes' duration each.
The ponies play an important part
in the game. it is readily imagined.
They-seeming'y develop human im
telllgence in following the progress
of the ball. in wheeling at the pro-
per time for striking and even in
avoiding possible injury in colli-
sons. Part of the training consists
of learning [to hurdlethat they may
leap clear of a fallen horse or rider.
The utmost skill in horsemanshlp
and in hitting the ball from any
angle is required of the players. in
addition to unlimited courage and
a rugged physique. The only "ar-
mor" worn by the players to guard
against injury is n cork helmet.
which affords protection in case of
a "spill."
No effort is made to conduct the
games for prollt. Training periods
for the big matches. with the at-
tending expenses, as well as the @st
of shipping and caring for the large
stables of ponies, run the cost of the
international matches up to two or
three hundred thousand dollars.

BALllMORE IS
EIRSI AGAIN
Dunn Sets New Record
by Winning Sixth
Flag in Row 7
Sept.
Jack Dunn has created a new
baseball record with his Baltimore
Orioles. For the slxth season in a
row the International League pcn~
nant will fly in the Monumental City
the Orioles having clinched the hon-
ors of the 1924 season Saturday.
. It is not too much to expect that
the Baltimore club will continue at
its present pace until the end of the
season, which would give the Orioles
a margin of fifteen games over the
second place' Toronto Maple Leafs.
led by Dan Howley. former first as-
sistant to Ty Cobb.
Dunn's achievement is remarkable
and stands without a parallel in pro-
fessional baseball. \Vhile the Giants
and Yankees are tottering under the
task of capturing four-flags in a row
the Baltimore outfit cinched its sixth.
There is real doubt whether the
Yankees can repeat in the American
loop. and there are some grounds for
uncertainty as to whether the Giants
will come through in the National.
During all the time Dunn has been
winning pennants he has been sell-
ing stars to the major leagues and
replacing them with youngsters
whom he has had to develop. For
instance. during the last two years
he disposed of men supposed to be
the backbone of his team when he
said Jack Bentley to the Giants.
Max Bishop to the Athletics and oth-
er players to weaker teams in his
own circuit.
Toronto is assured of second place
over Rochester by a greater margin
even than Baltimore holds over the
Leafs. but there is a real fight on for
third place among Rochester, Buffalo
Newark and Syracuse. the latter pair
heading the second division. only
about three games behind the third
position. ' .
Newark's chances have been ma.
terially reduced by the sale of Mick-
ey Devine. their fine catcher, to the
Giants and hochester has lost its big
ace in the sale of Walter Beali to
the Yankees. Syracuse is going bet~
ter than has been her lot all ioason
and may surprise everybody by the
finish it makes.
Reading is a certain seventh and
Jersey City is one of the latest lasts
one can picture being almost certain
to lose 110 of the season's games.
International League advocates of
the draft point to Reading's plight
as a reason why the draft should be
restored in the league in some form.
The theory of' selling major league
prospects to the big circuits for
large sums is all right. but the
trouble is when the club disposes of
these stars there is nobody to replace
.them. Reading began to hit the
rocks when A! Maumaux. Ralph Mll-
ler and Koran were sold to the ma-
jors. .
During the past ‘two seasons the
Into have sent more ‘than ,8- dozen
good men to the majors. but there
are not a dozen in the ranks at pres~
cut to replace them, and that is
where ,therub is. The late, outside
of Baltimore ‘or possibly Toronto.
have been growing weaker and
.woaker. and will continue to under
the present conditions. -

fair race track yesterday afternoon
in I 150-mlle race. when his car
overturned after locking wheels with
that of “lied" Shafer. Murphy was
pinned uder the ear and crushed to
death.
Starting far back in the rear. Mur-
'phy. by furious driving. had worked
his way up to second place and was
fighting with Sharer for the lead. As
they entered the back stretch Mur-
phy started to pass. his rival. The
wheels of the cars locked and Mur-
phy's machine flopped over, pinning
him underneath. Ambulances were
rushed to the spot. He was uncon-
scious. and died before he was lifted
off the ground. ,
Murphy’s Teammate séond.
The event was won by Phil Sharer
in 1 hour 54 minutes and 25.20 secv
ands. Bennett Hill. tea mate of
Murphy. flashed oven the ine sec-
ond in 1 hour 5 7minutes and 20.81
seconds. Harry Hertz. substituting
for his teammate. Fred Comer. came
in third in 2 hours and 9 seconds.
Sharer had jumped into the lead
on the sixth lap and before the cars
had gone 100 laps he had lapped the
field twice. On the 113th time
that Murphy was trying to pass him.
Harry Harts took tile lead at the
start. wlh Battln. Sharer, Milton and
Murphy following in that order.
Sharer jumped into the lead on the
tenth mile. after Hafiz“ went out

Vail and Comer. At the thirtieth
lap Murphy had worked into fourth
place. By the fortieth lap Sharer
was nearly a lap to the good, with
Milton and Murphy fighting for sec-
ond place. '
“'as Passing Sharer.
At the sevemieth lap Murphy
stepped on the gas and passed Mil-
ton. then started after Sharer. He
was gradually outing down his lead
and was passing him in the hack-
streteh when the accident occurred.
About 5,000 persons in the grand-
stands and along the track were hor-
rified as Murphy's ear brushed the
fence. skidded and struck it again
and then. embed through the rail—‘
ing, tearing it out for 100 feet. The
car remai'ned upright. and Murphy's
chest apparently was crushed by a
fence post.
Murphy's body was taken to the
morgue and will be held there pend-
ing word from relatives at his home
in Los Angeles.
The automobile races were first
scheduled for Saturday. the last day
of the fair. but were held over until
yesterday because of a muddy track.“
Prior to the automobile races. two
new world motorcycle records were
