Miller Leads 'Em
-From great golfers - the subject
shifted to star pitchers. It was the
consensus of opinion of the St. Louis
Browns that George Uhis of the
Cleveland Indians is the most effec-
tive pitcher in the American League.
The most effective. is just another
way of saying the best.
No player on the club was louder
in his praises of Uhl than "Bing"
Miller. former star 0 fielder of the
Philadelphia Athletics. "Bing" led
the cheering section for the see of
the Indians and at diqerent times
would break in on the conversation
of some other player yith:
f‘fiow that baby can piItch in a
pinch. He’s sure poison to me."

Little did Miller think as he made
that remark that the game of the
next day would offer Uhie~a chance
to prove the't'i'uth of the assertion.
Incidentally, it again demonstrat-
ed to me the part that psychology
plays in sports. Miller certainly was
a victim of it when he faced Uhle.

BILL TILDEN
National Champion
Bill Tilden last year beat Billy
Larned's famous record of five con-
secutive national singles champion-
ships. -But it sun left him one be-
hind thnt hung up by It. 1). Sears
some to years ago.
Tildcn hopes to equal the Sears
string at Germaniown this season.
Will he? That's the big question
now up for discussion in net cir-
cles. (fan the lanky Quaker again
come through Just as he has done
since that memorable afternoon in
1920 when he whipped "Little Bill"
with his first crown?
For the last two or three years
the boys down front have been
counting Tiidcn out; that is, they've
freely predicted his demise. But
each time the I‘hiily expert has
fooled them by blasting his way to
another triumph.
A year ago Tiidon narrowly es-
caped c\ ulnution several times dur-
ing the big jamboree. Re all but
went down under the challenging
barrage. But when the cannonad-
Johnston and walked 08 the court
h
ing had subsided Tiiden alone sure
vived.
Tilden no doubt will face his
toughest test this season. The
youthful horde has been slowly but
surely advancing on the 83-ysaMld
campaigner. One of these days
Tilden will go down kthsy all do).
It. may be this year. And then again.
it may not.
Like Hagen in golf, however. You,
must always recko, with "Tllt'ivn in
the racquet past he. Both have
that fighting spirit and determina-
tion that enable them to rise to the
occasion when all seems lost.
Like Hagen. Tilden is at his best
when running behind. In fact. it's a
Tiidcn characteristic to be on the
rrt end of an important match
til the ebbing moments of play.
As an uphill player the Philadel-
phian knows no equal. The greater
the odds. ~the better he performs.
Tilden is especially noted for his
cannonbali style of delivery. He
serves a rifle-like bail, making rs-
turns extremely difficult. He's es-
sentially a baseline driver. but can
volley and smash decisively if drawn
to the not. In short, he has no
weakness. His height (he’s "6-1”),
remarkable agility and extraordi-
nary reach are also big assets.
with Cleveland enjoying a slight
lead. the first two men to face
Southpaw Buckeye got on. The first
two pitches to Miller were balls. It
looked bad for Cleveland.
At this stage Manager Speaker
waved Buckeye to the bench and
summonedGeorgo Uhie from the
bullpen where he had been warming
up for some time.‘
While Manager Speaker had no
idea of the fanfest in which the
Browns, and Miller .in particular.
had landed the pitching of Uhle. he
couldn’t have picked a better spot
to drop him into the game.
0 C 0
Three In Row
"See who is‘ coming," said Miller
to me as he stepped out of the MK
while Uhio took the preliminary five
balls.
“I still maintain he is the best
' pitcher in the American league and
I am not trying to offer an alibi for
what may happen to me."
Uhle's first pitch was a fast one
right through the heart that I called
a strike. With the count two balls
and no strikes. Miller was forced to
take it. in the interests of proper
baseball.
The next was a fast one on the in-
side, lctter high, at which Miller
swung and missed. The third was
in the same place and Miller did the
same thing. ,
The hard~hitting Miller had struck
out on three pitched balls. The
crisis had passed. Uhis retired the
side without any runl.
However. as Miller fanned on
- three pitched balls. I couldn't help
but think of what he had mid about
Uhle and in my own mind was con-
vinced thst psychology had aided
Uhle as much as natural stuff in
. disposing of Miller. .

Wives To Attend Meetings
While Husbands Do Chores
Wives of trade unionists should
be invited to attend meetings of their
husbands' union whenever auctions
of policy are to be discussed. in the
opinion of the executive committee
of the Liverpool Amalgamated
Building Trades Union, which had
adopted a recommendation to this
cheat.
Miss Florence Underwood. secre-
tory of the Women's Freedom
league, probably was not entirely
serious however when she recently
advanced the idea of going a step
further, suggesting that the wives
attend as proxies for their hus-
bans. for she added:
"Husbands could then stop at
home and mind the children while
wives attended the meetings."
The Liverpool union's idea struck

DEMPSEY AND TUNNEY BOUT
TEN ROONDS TO DECISION
Promoter Expects 180,000 Fans To Attend Battle—-
Gate Should Reach $2,000,000—Tickets On Sale
Monday—Much Opposition Expected
PHILADELPHIA. Aug“ 20.—
Arrangements for the world's heavy-
weight titie bout between Jack
Dempsey and Gene Tunney at the
Benuicentennial stadium on Sep-
tember I: were completed yesterday
at a conference between Tex Rick-
ard. New York promoter; Jules
Amnson. his Philadelphia associate;
Mayor Kendrick, oihctals of tho
Sespuicentenniai exposition, and
members of the Pennsylvania Ath-
letic commission.
Under the law, it will be ten
rounds to a decision, two judges and
a referee are authorised to give de-
cisions. In the event that the bout
goes the limit and the decision is
against Dempsey, he would lose the
championship. According to the
rules of the athletic commission. the
referee must first hand in his de-
cision. Ths decision of the judges is
then receive-I and if they fail to
agree the verdict of the referee de-
sidcs the issue.
Rickard said the tight would draw
a crowd of more than 180,000 and
that the gate receipts would be in
the neighborhood of 82,000,000. He
said the prices for slits would
range from t: to 827.50 and that
the tickets would be placed on sale
next Monday. The New York pro-
moter said he had already posted
$100,000 in two checks of $50,000
each, one with the boxing commie--
sion and the other with the Sesqui-
centennial management, to guaran-
tee the holding of the light.
“Chicago had a chance at this
fight." Rickard said. “New York
had a chance at it. Philadelphia
took it away from both of them be.
cause the Sesquicentennlal manage-
ment was far-seeing. The fight is
an absolute sell-out, with 'standing
room only' signs hanging on the
door. I had thousands of applica-
tions for tickets to the fight in New
York before the question of Demp-
sey's permit to box had been settled.
“Stadium Ideal Place"
“The stadium is an ideal place for
an event of this kind. but I hated to
take the fight from New York,
where I owe so much to boxing.
However. this won't exactly be a
Philadelphia tight. New York will
furnish at least a third of the
crowd."

gross receipts after taxes had been
paid and that the Sesquieentennlai
