Is Bent to the bull pen for Moore. Ills rescue acts have done so much, if not more than anything else to keep the Yankees speeding along, uncheck ed. He has pulled at least a dozen games out ot the tire in the last two jveeks alone, holding off the enemy after a regular boxmun has weakened while his team mates applied the - old ' battering ram. Wiley has succeeded Fred (l'lr po) Mulberry ot the Washington Senators as' the foremost exponent of relief pitching in the majors.

"Theso fellows think that as long as the place shows a profit nothing else matters. If they hud their way we would be In the red in short order. When I come.tttick after the Tunney fight, I'm going to let about half the employes go and get new help. Perhaps that will improve conditions. It costs money to flro people, though, be cause it takes time to break in new ones to fill their places." When Dempsey was around the hotel, be could be seen doing al most anything from playing bell hop to Instructing the chef how to run a kitchen. I happened to go intrf'the kitchen with Jack one day when he found Borne dirt on the stove. He Immediately hit the cell ing, figuratively Rpeaklng. It look ed for a few moments as if the poor chef was going to lose his Job right on the spot. "Dirt Is one thing T won't toler ate," Dempsey remarked as he was going through his mail a Utile later.
