manager built the little Islander up
to championship class and. when

One of his first opponents in the

in ii rounds after a sensational
showing. Later he lost his title to
Frankie Gensro. but in 1923 he

Wilde in workmanllke fashion.

And their showing in the Western

to get this team working smoothly.
His pitching has been crratic and
weak and his hitters have had stig~
mstism or something. '

Now.his team has apparently
started to climb and two of the
men aiding it are:

Garland Buckeye. young pitcher
and the biggest man in baseball.

And Cliff Lee. a castoif from
other clubs.

Garland recently won his third
straight victory in eight days for
the ball club. Lee’s batting and
playing in the outfield have played
important parts in the offense and
defense.

Clark Griffith. not usually a howl-

flat assertion that his team will win
the pennant.

Griffith. right now. has mighty
good reason for so thinking. His
team is stronger than it was last
year. He is better fortified with
pitchers. for one thing.

But Connie Mack begs Clark's
pardon for being obstinate and
asks that the schedule be played

The wrapper tobacco business of

valley grows tobacco for the wrap-

smoke has shown an actual decline
before the onrushiag cigar. One of
the avenues of relief for the Con-

paet of some transition into cigar

naaarr measvnus.

By NORMAN E. BRO\\'N.

'lhere is something about the ap-
pointment of Rabbit Mitrenville as
manager of the Chicago Cubs that
hasn‘t been spilled for the edifice-
tion of the fans. The reason given
by the Cub bosses for sidetracking
Bill Kiliefer and naming Maranvilio
to succeed him is that they felt the
need of a playing manager.

If this were the only reason
woulddhey have selected Marau-
vilie .who can have but a year or
so at the most before father time
calls him to the has-been class.

It. sounds improbable unless they
figure Maranville only a. temporary
pilot or count on him continuing in
that role after he is forced to bench
himself and if» they figured the
latter way did they play fair with
Bill and the public in giving the
“playing manager" reason?
Maranville should furnish an in-
teresting study as a pilot. He has
always‘ been known as a "wild"
man of! the field. He will have to
hold himself in check in of! hours

to succeed as a pilot.

ment the "Rabbit." and two of his
players. Clark Pltienger and Her-

NEW YORK. July lb.—-—lt is quite
plain that James A. Fat-icy, Chair.
man of the New York State Athletic
Commission. intends to pin Jack
Dempsey down to a fight with Harry
Wills sometime this year or ask for
his retirement.-

From Portland. Ore. where he is
attending a. convention of Elks. he
sent a telegram to the Secretary of
the board suggesting that a resolu-
tion be passed at its meeting yester.
day inviting both Kearns and Demp-
sey to appear at. the meeting of July
21 with'a view of forcing a definite
statementfrom both of them with
regards to Wills.

The telegram was as follows: .

“At meeting tomorrow suggest
passing resolution. assuming Com-
missioners Muldoon. Brower. Phclnn
and Ware concur. that an invitation
be extended to Jack Dempsey and
Kearns to appear llr-fore the Com-
mission' at a. meeting July 21. We
must have a definite decision. in my
judgment. from above mentioned
parties at once. Dempsey should
either fight Wills ting you r or retire.
if he refuses to accept the challenge
the public will reach only one con-
clusion—that he is afraid."

That sounds like. business. Natur-

months before he could fit himself
for a struggle with Wills it‘s dollar!
to gumdrops that he will resent any
talk\of a fight this year.

If the commission insists on a fight
this year it would mean that it would
have to be an indoors affair. That
would not be to Dempsey's liking any
more than Kearns' as it would be
impossible now available in this city.
However, the effort to force Demp-
