TERMED MUTCH FOR CHIP I i M BOTH EAGER FOR SCRAP Some Good Judges Believe Black Will Take Ring Crown Away From Present Holder. BY HUGH FULL.ERTON. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) First Article. NEW YORK, Sept. 2. Harry Wills, colored heavyweight champion of the world, whatever else he may be, has earned the right for a fight with Jack Dempsey. Today Willa told me that his chief aim in life is to meet the white champion, and, flushed with recent easy victories over the two Jacksons, neither of whom amounted to much, he was liushed -with confidence. A short time ago, talking with Dempsey, he said: "I want that man worse than I ever wanted any man in the world. With two big men, both supremely confident, desiring to meet each other, what stands between euch a meetine? Nine-tenths of the fight fans in the country think that Dempsey will 'score an easy victory over wins. The other tenth, which includes some of the best judges of boxing in the country, gives Wills a lot more than a fighting chance to overthrow the ' champion, and a few, among them several keen judges, think that Dempsey will meet a large, dark nemesis when he enter-a tne ring with Wills. Match Considered Even. With such differences of opinion, a study of the two men and their methods may help the public to judge. You may start with the as surance that this match is not one sided; not -nearly as one-siled as the Hempsey-Carpentier, ths Iiempsey Brennan or the Wills-Jackson matches. This fellow Wills is more danger ous than admirers of Dempsey are inclined to admit. In fact, if he has courage (and he has not yet shown that he lacks that element), he has a chance. How much of a chance we may judge by comparing the men and their methods of working and of fighting. Physical comparison of the men reveals a number of interesting facts. Wills is older, a veteran. He has fought more fights; how many he himself does not recall. He has fought since he was a jockey mak ing weight around the race track. He has fought from the time he weighed 108 pounds to now when he scales around 212 in condition. Dempsey I Smarter. Dempsey is the smarter man, has the better brain, possesses more of the animal cunning in fighting. Wills has more experience; in fact he is wise from long experience ! rather than from thinking. Demp- i sey has the smarter manager, the smarter handlers. So much for the thinking end of the farat. The Question of courage gameness is one that cannot be doped. Neither man has ever quit because of punishment, and the only blot of Denipsey's ring record was not due to any lack of courage, but to lack of money. Wills has fought some bad-looking fights. He has been unable to beat some second raters. Even so, he has whipped more really good men than Dempsey has. The charge that Wills has been knocking over a lot of set-ups is true but Dempaey has done the same thing. Wills has the better of weight. He will weigh about 212 when he meets the champion, and Dempsey will fight around 196, which he con siders his best weight. Wills has a shade in height and reach. His weight, which would appear to give him the advantage, is not well dis tributed. Dempsey Well Built. Dempsey's weight is so well dis tributed that in street clothes he appears to weigh around 170 and nine men out of ten would guess his height around 5 feet 11 inches instead of 6 feet 1 inch. His weight is where it can be used best. Loins, hips and waist are comparatively slender, while Wills carries weight around the hips and in the waist. Their necks are both good, Demp sey's being the shorter and his head ie better set on his shoulders. Dempsey has all the better of it in comparison of shoulders and upper arm. His muscles are longer, giving more leverage, and they flow more smoothly. Wills is inclined to bunchy, knotty muscles. While Wills has a shade on the reach, his forearm and wrist are not so well proportioned as are Demp sey's. He has terrific power in his forearm and wrist. Dempsey's hands, which have been protected carefully, are better and less liable to shatter under the force of blows. Champ's Legs Better. It ie in the legs that Dempsey shows greatest superiority. Demp sey's legs are perfectly formed, his feet are better and stronger. Wills' legs are too slender for his weight, he is slightly knock-kneed and from the knee down his legs are almost spindling, while his feet are large and not well shaped. He fights from a shuffle and to get speed rises on the toes, but seems slightly flat footed. Which, however, was not enough to bar him from the army. The next article will deal with the 6peed and strength of the two men. TWIRLEK STRIKES OUT 22 Young Pitcher Signed to Play In Coast League With Seattle. MONTESANO, " Wash., Sept. 2. A remarkable strike-out record was made here recently by Elbert Fisch, 19-year-old southpaw twirler of the White Star baseball team of Whites, Wash. In a game with the Montesarto team Fisch struck out 22 batters and allowed but two hits, one in the fourth and the other in the eighth inning. White Star won the game, 3 to 1. Fisch has been signed by the Se attle team of the Pacific Coast league and will report next spring. PLAYERS FORCED TO SLEEP Baseball Manager Makes 'Em All Go to Bed Before Midnight. . LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2. Ivan Howard, manager of the Oakland club of the Pacific Coast Baseball league, says he believes . that a player must get lots of sleep if he is to play good ball. To emuhasiz 1 this, he has made a rule that every j I ( j !. A ? ,4 v J3V1 v f y ; -' i I 1 -' US-"! v ' 1 sit I !

Six of the players arrived at their hotel at 1?:10 one morning when the club was playing here, and said they were delayed when the tire of their automobile was punctured on the way from the beach. They said they couldn't help it. Howard fined them each $25 or $2.50 a minute for their tardiness. 'Scotty" Findley, trainer of the club, arrived at the hotel still later and Howard fined him $100, adding that a trainer should be a good ex ample to his players, not a bad one.

Her are some simple rules of train- ins as laid down by Dempsey: Don't tire yourself out. Stop when nearing exhaustiom ' Watch your heart. Don't overstrain it. Change the pace frequently in road work; jogr, then sprint. t' Quit at once if you do not perspire. Go slowly up hill. "Work up the wind gradually. Increas ing the distance run each day. , Don't let anyone set a distance .for you to run. Judge by your own feel- lags when to stop. Don't run until you dislike running. The best work is that you enjoy. Article II. , rpHERE are four essential ele I ments in training an athlete for any competition: The men tal attitude, which stimulates a'de sire for physical perfection, an average physical endowment, stam jna, and speed. No man may suc ceed in becoming fit without healthy- liver and stomach, sound feet and clear eye. Given those, even though they may have been permitted to degenerate, training will bring back health and vigor, Training, of course, must 6tart with the stomach, and the next step is to train the lungs; to work for better "wind." Seemingly the simplest of ail training, this is the most dangerous. More, young men and boys injure their health and wreck their athletic careers by care less exertion than in any other way. Bad Running Invites Danger. Since running is the simplest and oldest method of improving the wind, it is also the best, when prop erly used. The fact 'that it seems a simple matter invites danger as the runner is working with his heart and lungs. Running has been used and gen erally misused by athletes of all branches of sport, but it remained for the modern school to learn how to run to get the best results and avoid heart strain. - v. Boxers of the old school knew that road work was the best for improving the wind and for re ducing weight. Not one in a hun dred knew how to run. John L. Sullivan slogged along mile after mile. Captain A. C. Anson, when head of his famous Chicago White Stockings, followed the same meth ods. Twenty times around the park was his prescription for all players. Dempoey I'ses Monkley Method. The growth of long distance, especially cross country, running in America has done much to bring proper methods into more general knowledge. -It is odd that Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion. should have by his own experiments evolved exactly the. same system of training as that used by Jack iloak ley, Cornell's famous running coach, who has developed more great cross country runners than any one in America, and whose methods are imitated in practically ..all. prep schools and colleges.: The systems vary only in that the boxer, the baseball player and the wrestler " must consider the muscular effect, as wellas the wind. The boxer and:. ball player must avoid hardening ' the "leg muscles, since supple, free moving muscles are vital In their professions. How Jack Starts! Day. Dempsey, after studying the meth- oris of generations has worked out system. His first ' move, - upon baseball in recent scandal. years ago. Two of these wore the colors of the United States, while the other participant. Earl Thomp son, now representing the Los An geles Athletic club, won the high hurdle championship for Canada. Alma Richards, former Cornell Star, who scored heavily in the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, also is a member pf the Los Angeles team and will compete, in the shotput. discus, 56-pound weight and run ning high jump. Others prominent in the last Olympics who will be seen in action at Newark include John Murphy, Portland, Or., and (teorge Schiller, Oliver Corey and Otto Anderson, Los Angeles, Cal. Brown Sold to Pirates. Myrl Brown, Reading right-hander, for whom the St. Louis Cardi nals were said to have offered $7500 and three or four Syracuse players, was bought last week by the Pitts burg club, for cash and players. Brown is no spring chicken he's just about old enough to know how to pitch, his age being given as 27. awakening, in to rise on his shoul ders with feet high In air, and in dulge in fast kicking exercises. Leaping from bed he goes to an open window and breathes deeply 20 times, for lung exercise. His road work usually precedes breakfast in hot weather, and is discontinued until late in the afternoon. Before starting for road work Dempsey has his rubber smear his feet with lanolin (oil from sheep's wool), dons, heavy woolen socks, and before he puts on his shoes he takes foot exercise, rising on his toes and rocking back on : to his heels 25 times, to strengthen arches and toe muscles. Ron of Five Miles Plenty. On the road his methods are at variance with those used by the old timers. ''Five miles is plenty," he says "The old-time way of pounding the pike for 20 miles was not good. You can get just as much action in five miles as in 20. I jog most of the way. but the change of pace is what counts. In Jogging 1 hold the arms rather close, with a hand grip in each hand, head thrown back, chest out, lips closed, breathing through the nose. The feet are held straight, and the pace is steady and even, the old Indian stride. Occasionally I Jump into a quick sprint for a short distance. Every once in a while I drop the arms and let them swing naturally at the sides. "A boxer has to be careful of his feet and legs. The strain of run ning is not great, excepting on hills. Take the hills slowly, and avoid pounding the feet on hard roads. Get the perspiration started as soon as possible, and watch the heart. IVever l.ein Selt Tire. "I never let myself get very tired( at least not near to any feeling of exhaustion. If a fellow commences to tire, or his heart starts pumping, or he dries out and cannot perspire, he should stop at once. He is short of wind and must get up to it grad ually. If a man overdoes running at first, he takes more out of him self than he can put back in a week. "Change the pace frequently, fin ish the roadwork with a ' brisk sprint, then . rub down no, that's wrong--rub up.- A fellow never should rub himself down, but start at his feet and work upward with a rough towel before jumping into nis cam., jtuo out all perspiration first, then the bath, and a srentle drying.. -. ., . .. ... . , .. "Swimming is. wonderful for the wind, but I don't think it srood for athletes. It is too exhaustina:. Salt water takes less out of a fellow than fresh. I love swimming, but a auiek dive, a fast sprint, and out is best." Skipping Hope la Passe. Skipping the rope, one of the fa vorites of the veterans, is going out of use ,as a wind improver. Train ers have gone back to the first idea in improved form. Dempsey likes running."; "Don't dn anything in training that you dis like," he says.- - "Of course, no one likes the-first few workouts. Rut after that-you ought to enjoy run-ning.-and if you don't enjoy it you're not getting anywhere. Each man must Judge for -himself how much running he can stand. Work up to it gradually, increasing the distance, and finish feeling pleasantly tired, but not exhausted." : (The. next article will deal with cy Trains Dempsey's methods of training fori former University of Illinois ath enduxance.) - ilete,.o the Boston Americans.

SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 2. "One- lungers" will be out on tne race track at the Interstate fairgrounds Saturday afternoon, September 9. when automobile men will present programme of freak races ana contests before the grandstand High-powered cars have the advan tage in most of the stunts arranged, but old-fashioned machines, brought out in the first decade of automo biles, will have a race by them selves, honors going to the one cylinder car which completes the mile run first. Dee Riegel of Riegel Bros., who is directing the pro gramme of sports for the Automo bile Men's association here, wants all the "one-lungers" left in the city to compete. It is said there are enough of them in the city to make an interesting race. , Another race which is bound to start little laughs going all around is the greased-pig race, limited to four cars, four men and four little pigs. The pigs will be crated and set at the side of the race track and it will be up to the driver to get out of his car, uncrate his pig. tuck i him under his arm, start his car going again and circle the tracK with his DiET. Thfl teetering contest also calls for skill. The contest is open to women. There will be three plat forms, two for men and one for women. Two or three obstacle races are planned, but keen interest .centers around the pie and mitten race limited to four cars and four men. Speed wiU tell in this event. The men will be expected to drive their cars to a given spot, jump out, don cotton gloves, pick up a needle and thread it; drive on to another spot, hop out, snatch a piece of pie and eat it before they get back in the car; drive to the next stop, wnere, with gloves still on, they will be re quired to take a cigar and light it, and the first to circle the track wins. Another obstacle race of in terest , planned for the day is one which ' can be punctuated with curves and zig-zags. Each driver will be expected to steer his car be tween a series of barrels, arranged at irregular Intervals along the track, and for a climax after the circuit is finished he must still bal ance his car on a "teeter" platform. The automobile dealers have been asked to close their places of busi ness in the city for the afternoon and give their entire staff of em ployes an opportunity to attend the fair, Mr. Riegel stated yesterday.

When people - record such clear favor for an automobile, it is obvious that they have some good reason for their "preference. The great majority of buyers of the Type 61 are not led to its purchase primarily by the con sideration of price. Many of them could easily pay a great deal more for an auto mobile, and would do so, if they thought that they could secure more than in the Type 61 Cadillac. But as their purchase of the Type 61 indicates, they conclude that they can not secure more.

Paul Manager, Major league clubs in need of a manager mjght do worse than coax Mike Kelly away from St. Paul if that could be done. Mike is one of the perennial winners of the sport. He may slip off tne top for a season, but always is back the next year fighting for a place on his well worn rung. Kelly is a real developer. He turned out two mighty fine short stops in Everett Scott and Artie Butler; had the first development of Lu Blue, the Detroit first base-, man, and "Bubbles" Hargrave, the hard-hitting Red catcher. Mike has had opportunities to ad vance, but always has preferred SL Paul, where his popularity and suc cess were certain. Safe or Out? BY CHARLES D. WHITE. Q.

I advanced the runners knd the side at bat said I should also advance the batter, and when I refused to do so left the field. Wa I right and what about the protest? A. You were right, and there 18 no protest when a team leaves the fieid. It forfeits its rights by that course. Q. Runner on first. Batter makea foul frp. Catcher drops the ball. A nays the runner on first can steal and B says not. A B is right. The foul tip must be caught to permit the runner to steal. When the ball is tipped and the catcher drops it the hit is like any foul. Q. Runner on, first with three balls on the batter. Runner starts for second on the next pitchy which Im a ball, and the catcher throws to center field, the runner going on to third. Captain of team in the field says the runner must be sent back to second base because it was the fourth ball. Game is pro tested. What is the rule? A. The ball is in play and the run ner should not be sent back to second base. There is no ground for protest. Q. Batter hits & line drive between center and left. A small boy picks up the ball and throws it to the center fielder, who threw to the second base man, the runner stopping at second. The umpire sends him to third. There was no ground rule. A. The umpire mixed up the play. The bail was blocked and should have been thrown to the pitcher standing In his position and until it arrived there runners were at liberty to go as far as they could. The umpire had no author ity to advance a runner. . Q. Runner on first. Batter hits In field f iy and the first baseman drops the ball. Runner on first goes half way to second and then continues and is tagged out when first baseman throws to second. Who is out. the runner or the batter? A. Runner Is out. There Is 00 In field fly play when there la a runner on, .first ooi pay less for an automobile than they pay for the new Cadillac. But it is plain that they reject that possibility as well. Just as they refuse to pay more for that which they consider in no way better, so they refuse to pay less, and accept that which they believe to be inferior. They reason that the new Cadillac possesses a degree of de pendability and perform-ability that is not duplicated anywhere for less. We believe that the majority of buyers of high grade cars choose Type 61 because they have a clear conviction of its worth. They buy it because, after mature refle'ction, they consider Type 61 Cadillac both the Standard of the World and the world's greatest motor car value. B. Detroit Plu War Taa a, Imperial Lim, 4600 Co.

Never tread on a congressman's toes If you value your health. That is an axiom In the service. Furthermore, never try to charge him for anything, might be added, it seems. All of which means that somebody has decided the esteemed members of congress will no longer receive free tickets for the army-navy game, and therefore there may be an end to the great service football battle, which is virtually an epic of America's collegiate gridirons, rat ing every bit as high, in its way, us the Yale-Harvard game. As soon as it became generally known among some of the idealistic members of congress that the free list was about to be burned without ceremony where they were con cerned. Representative MacGregor of New-York suddenly discovered that the army-navy game Is a com mercial affair with insidious pro pensities. With startling acumen he found that the only Interest of the middles and cadets in the big game of the year is how much money they can get out of it. He arises to tell the world that it is all wrong and dangerous and that in order to curb the evil he has In troduced a bill to prevent the games being played with an admission charge. It seems strange that all these re markable discoveries were not made until the free passes to members were stopped. So long as thousands of others had to pay It did not mat ter. Following Is the statement that Representative MacGregor Issued after learning that he probably would have to dig in his leans like anybody else who did not happen to be a congressman: "The vast Bums received for ad mission fees would indicate the growing spirit of commercialism In the military and naval academies, and that the students are not filled with a desire 'to demonstrate their physical development," said th New York representative. "Rather, their attention Is centered upon how much money they can get The young men at these Institutions belong to the nation and ther gratitude for the opportunity given them should not be marred by evidences -t greed."
