May Be Matched With
Gene Tunney f o r
Battle L a t c This

. Month

NEW YORK. Sept. 5.—-—I~iurry
Wills and Gene Tunney may have
their much discussed iistlo encoun-
ter before the close of the outdoor
boxing season nitm all. '1 he Negro
heavyweight champion is back from
his European trip looking g1eat. ap-
parently feeling chipper. and talking
fight in a most convincing manner.
Harry is vvllling to tight Jack
Dempsey any11vviicie and at any time
and even on a winner take all ba—
sis. he says, but admits that he
hasn't much hope of ever getting
the champion into fine ring. Such
being the case, he is ready to do
business with anyone whom his
manager. Paddy Mullins. may care
to select.

“Could you get in shape on short
notice?" he was asked. shortly af-
ter he had stepped off the Aquitan-
la, "for a tough opponent?"

Tough Ones?

“Tough ones," giggled Harry. “I
didn‘t know there were any around.’

Tunney’s name was then brought
up. It is plain that Wills doesn't
take Gene very striously, but he in-
timated if the public vvas in favor
of the match and his manager ap-
proved, it was all right with Harry.

Mullins then made a little ex-
planation of Harry's immediate ac-
tivities. It seems Wills is bound by

.an unbreakable verbal agreement
that the Black Panther is to box
under the promotion of Messrs.
Blaufuss. Cullen. Kline and Black
Better known as the Four Horse-
less Horsemen, over in Newark
around Sept. 28.

The Four Horcless Horsemen had
Wills under contract early in the
summer to box for them and they
released Harry so he could box
Charley Weinert on the Italian Hos-
pital show card. Of course with the
agreement that Wills would live 11p
to his Newark engagement before
the closing of the outdoor season.

The Newark promoters have five
opponents from. whom to select an
opponent for Wills. The five heavy-
weights under consideration are
King Solomon. Jack De Mave, Jim
Maloney. Jack Sharkey and Bartley
Madden. The only way that Wills
can be Lil‘llgllt to do business else-

~whers is through some' satisfactory

FREAK PLAY.

The old adage. "There is nothing
new under the sun." doesn’t hold
good for baseball.

As a matter of fact the national
pastime just teems with new and
unusual oddities.

After one has been actively con-
nected with baseball for a score of
years. there is perhaps a. tendency
‘ ”to become rather blase. Each battle
is just a ball game and the players
are either out or safe.

Fortunately. baseball produces 141
many thrills that Just as an active
participant god; the impression
' there is nothing new under the sun.
something comes up to make him
alter his opinion.

In a recent game I had such it
happening. Can you picture two
men being thrown out at the plate
almoat simultaneously on a two-
bugger?

As you read the above you no
doubt are saying the very idea is
absurd. Well it actually happened
and I had the thrill of calling both
men out.

The Detroit players, with a grin,
now refer to me as the ambidex-
trous umpire. I waved one player
out with my left hand, the other
with my right.

C l C

When I finished the decision both
hands were higher in the air than if
some yegg had been pressing a 42
against my "tummy" while he re-
lieved me of my bank roll.

(AI’).—-ltulpl1 "Red" Davis, first
baseman of the Shomokln Club

pitching stunt in Thursday game
with Scranton after he took the
mound in the eighth inning.

Negro Girl Is Clever
Baseball Pitcher

batsmen and hit one in a recent

three innings the opposing team
didn't get a man on first. and when

Four Horseless Horsemen and 4I‘ll:
Forest probably will be willing to
do so if ‘1. reasonable arrangement
[can he arrived at.

"I’ve about given up hopes of ever
getting Dempsey in the ring," de-
clared Wills. “I don't suppose I can
blame him in a way. He wants to
hang on to his title. as it is always
worth some money to him. even if
he doesn't. do any more real fight-
ing. He’lmovvs that if he ever mccis

for second as the pill sped on its

Flagstead just reached the fly

with the tips of his fingers and had
no chance to make the catch. How-
ever. he so slowed down the ball by
contact with it that it rolled only a.
short distance after striking the
ground. ‘

When the ball was recovered by
1. lagstead Bossier was‘well on his
way to third and Haney wasn't
more than 15 feet back of him. The
race continued to the plate. Haney
gaining slightly at each step.

Catcher Stokes of the Boston
team received the relay Just ahead
of Bassler and touched him out as
he slid for the inside of the plate.
With the same motion he put the
ball on Honey's spikes as he ,at-
tempted to avoid the touch by hook-
ing for the outside of the plate.

TRIO 0F WINS.

Speaking of. freak happenings in

baseball. one must not overlook a

recent pitching performance of
Elam Van Glider of the St. Louis

Browns against the Athletics.

The Browns gave the league-lead-
ing Athletics an awful jolt by trim-
ming them threestraight and pecu-
liarly enough. Van Glider received
credit for winning all of them.

As it happened. Van didn't start
in any of the games but went into
each as relief pitcher. In the trio
of games, Van was dropped into a
tough spot with his club behind. He.
held the Mackmen and the Browns
proceeded to get him the winning

Personally I think that moose
hunting during the calling season
should be abolished by law. The big
animal is shot under extremely un-

However.» the moose season is op-
