- CHAPTER TWELVE

about balls than I do about books. So
ere goes for the "wind-up."
Some time ago a fellow asked me
what was the best game of ball I ever
played, the one I enjoyed most. Per-
ape you'd like to. hear about it. It
waa in Cleveland last year. In the
first inning, with Fred Coumbe on the
mound, there were two men on bases
and I got a home run. That, as you
see, brought in three runs. In another
Inning I got. another run. At the end
of tho eighth Inning .the score waa 7
to 4 against the Red Sox. But In the
ninth inning, with three men on the
bates and Uhle pitching I poked out
another home run, so the game dosed
to 7 in favor of Boston. Lack of
modesty compels me'te say that I' made
every run for our aide In that game.

Surprise in
Tennis Meet
TTOREST HILLS, N.
Y.. Sept. 4.
Up from nowhere,
G. Col pet
Caner, the Boston surprise- in the
national singles tennia championship
tournament, a man picked by the ex
perts day by day to go down and out
of the contest. Thursday became the
star attraction of the show by de
feating Irving C. Wright, also of
Boston, and winning the right to
meet William M. Johnston, the
champion, in the semi-finals.
Although Caner had come all the way
through the tournament without a loss,
the expert still persisted in picking him
for defeat. He would surely go down
before the great Johnston, the Forest
Hills tennis enthusiasts believed. Yet
his match was looked for as one of the
most Interesting of the show. But there
was Just the mere chance that Caner
might upset the calculations on his ten
nis by bumbling even the champion him
self, to go Into the finals with the win
ner of the match between William T.
Tilden and Wallace F. Johnson.
William if. Johnston, playing a safe
and cool game, defeated Watson Wash
burn of New York,. In-, straight sets in
Thursday's match. ' Johnson did not
exert himself over much and never ap
peared to be In the slightest peril of los
ing, even though Washburn carried the
third set Into deuce. The scores were
6-4. 6-4. 7-6.
' Wallace V. Johnson was clearly su
perior to Clarence J. Griffin of San
Francisco, taking the match, 6-1, 6-3, 2-6,
6-4. He was very steady, except In the
third and in the beginning of the fourth
set. when Griffin's speed told.
Tilden won his match from Walter
Wesbrook In straight sets. 6-3. 8-6. 6-1.
He took things very easily and although
Weabrook's play was steady and ac
curate, he lacked the power to extend
the lanky Western player. In the second
set, Wesbrook led, 6-2, but Tilden tight
ened and, after carrying It to deuce,
took the next two in succession.
ELMA. WASH., Sept 4. George U
Parker's Lady Alatlon won the 2:18

J
this year baa been a good thing for
baseball even though some pitchers who
had learned to rely on resin and other
stuff to make their curves take have
suffered by it. After all, we are out
there to play the game fairly, relying
on our skill and natural abilities and
If you didn't draw the line somewhat on
these devices, somebody would be using
a square ball or firing the pill out of a
young cannon.
You may be sure that the fans ap
prove the changes. They want to see
hitting and fielding and if you doubt
this. Just read over the attendance
figures of this, the greatest season in
the history of baseball, with home runs
and extra base hits rattling like a hail
storm on a tin roof. If these tricks had
gone on you could have taken the bat
out of baseball.
I guess that's about all from yours

shortstop you are. and then take
whack at the bags. That's the way to
learn the game. Above all. learn to
keep your temper. Forget what, I said

"DENTON HORBOR, Mich.. Sept 4.
U (I. N. . Aa uie rival giove wig
glera perform the final training camp
rites the conclusion la :
Jack Dempsey will whip Billy Miske in
their ten-round Labor day battle and do
it easily barring the sufferance of a
fractured arm. a busted leg or some
other ring misfortune.
It wouldn't be at all surprising if
Dempsey stowed away the St Paul
speedster in five rounds or less.
DEMPSEY I2T GREAT SHAPE
Dempsey seems trained to the minute
and seema. aa he claims, 'to be In the
most perfect fighting trim of his career.
And Mlske, according to those experts
w-ho are handling him, is absolute per
fection as fighting men go. All of which
makes it 60-60 on condition and Its
so-so as regards size), bulk, age and ex
perience. But there the equality ends.
Deinpsey is the super-slugger of the age
There was never another like htm. Mlske,
in contrast is a notoriously weak hitter,
a warrior who has failed repeatedly to
stow away men whose Jaws and whose
bodies had only half the resisting power
of the "tiger of the prise ring." If the
fight ever resolves itself into a slugging
match If Mlske attempts to stand toe
to toe with Dempsey It means the begin
ning of the end of Mlske's championship
dreams.
MAT BOX MISKE
Mlske's long forte Is boxing and he's a
marvel In that particular line. But mar
velous as he is, It wouldn't be at all
surprising if Dempsey, electing to meet
him at his own game, actually out-boxed
him. For Dempsey today is faster than
the St Paul whirlwind and all the while
will be packing the power that can make
one of his Jabs equal to the knockout
force of the other man's haymakers.
Miske can take a beating and come back
for more. If It wasn't for that the pre
diction would be a knockout victory for
Dempsey before the first session of the
fighting haa been done.
Dempsey may elect to box It with
Mlske, for a while, but that's not likely.
Dempsey knows that he can win If he
can hit solidly a few times and victory ia
his aim. Why, then, ahould he play the
other man's game even , though ho may
be superior at it, when he can play his
own game that rarely has failed him in
the last three years and never In a
crucial effort?
