Jack Dempsey has ruled the
pugilisiic parapet longer than any
heavyweight champion in history.
Jack has been on the throne more
then seven years. That’s quite e
span in any athletic endeavor.
Ranking ncx to Dempsey is Jack
Johnson. the gold-toothed colored
boy. Johnson led the parade a little
less than seven years or from Do-
ccmhcr. 1908, to April. 1915.

years before had handed Tommy

WALLACE JOHNSON
One of the oldest players in na-
tional tennis competition is Wallace
Johnson. Johnson is. 37. Like
Champion Tiiden. he comes from the
Keystone state. his home being in
Merton.
Outside of Bill Johnston end Dick
'Willlams. Johnson has been rated
emong the country's "First 10"
more often than’ any other player.
Nice he has been runnerup in tho
nationals. yet has never gained the
supreme honor. "
Johnson first made the select
‘group in 1908. He was ninth that
‘yeer. As late as 1924—16 years of
topnotch tennis‘he rated No. 6. In
1912 he met the famous redhead.
Maurice McLoughlln. for the cham-
pionship. and in 1921 clashed for
.he same honor with Tildon. John-
son wee set down each time.
Last year Johnson went as far as
the fourth round in the nationals.

What About Dempsey?
Starting with the famous John L.
Sullivan we find the heavyweight
kings ruled their division in this
fashion: Sullivan. two years; Cor-
bett.'tive: Fitulmmons. two; ch-
fries. six: Burns. two; Johnson. six:
Willard. four. and Dempsey. seven—
to date.
Now the big question concerning
the feniiock Is: Will Dempsey con-
tinue es-emperor of the pligillstlc
domain. or will he follow Sullivan.
Corbett. Fitnimmons and the rest
into iletlcutting oblivion?
It. will ali.be answered Sept 23
when the champion goes into the
ring in his lo-round titular battle
with Gene Tunney. ex-marine and
foremost challenger. for the crown
so long ' held by the "Menessa

Frank Frisch of the New York
Giants was yesterday fined $500 for
leaving his team without permission
In St. Louis two weeks ago,.accord-
Ing to an announcement by team of-
ficials. Manager John McGraw said
that Frisch would return to the team
tomorrow.
In a statement given out by the
officials. it was pointed out that the
fine was necessarily imposed as the
result of Frisch deacrting the club
but that in view of Frisch's good
conduct and satisfactory services
previously no further action will be
taken. However. Frisch will lose his
salary for the time he has been ah-
aent from the Giants.
Whether or- not the Giants' in-
fielder will be in the lineup in,
tomorrow's game will depend on
McGraw. Frisch departed suddenly
for New York August 22 without
making known his intentions and
upon his arrival here declared he
left the team because he was too
ill to play.
