SPOmS DOME BROWN The recent announcement that Jack Dempsey had signed articles to meet Harry Wills, colored chal lenger has renewed discussion as to the champion's present condi tion and his chances of returning his title if he does return. In Cleveland, O., the other night, milling my way to the coming world's series, I sat through a six round exhibition given by Demp sey. It was my lirst glimpse of him in ring togs and ring action in many months. . As most folk do who sat near the ringside the day he pounded Jess Willard into a bleeding difig ured, lumbering hulk of humanity, I still carried with me the picture of Dempsey the Glorious the most perfect specimen of manhood I have ever seen in or out of the ring. I carried with me, also, the memory of Dempsey the day he entered the ring with Carpentler, not quite the same Dempsey, but discounting what he might have lost in condition by more experi ence and the confidence that goes with the crown. The happenings in hi3 battle with Firpo came back to me, too, happenings that created a general impression that he had stepped noticeably well back on the road to the end. So I was rather eager to see bim the other night. But I made the mistake most folk make of look ing at an acquaintance in death, instead of remembering the de ceased as he had been in life. Up to the time Dempsey peeled off his pink-lined bathrobe I had in mind that husky, hard-looking individual who carried murder in his eye, effervesced murder in his very action, and carried murder in both his lightly gloved hands. But when that bath-robe (oh, girls what a beaut:it was) rolled off his shoulders the old Dempsey was gone w&3 as absent as the old, dirty red sweater that Demp sey wore into the ring when slam ming his way to fame and the ti tle. ! The new nose wasn't what made Dempsey different. ;! The same husky shoulders and chest were there. His great forearms struck you as forcibly as ever. But the old Tiger attitude, the scuffle of a fighter, eager to walk in and fight it out with anyone in the world, was missing. .! In its place was the mincing walk of the movies, the posed grace of the drawing room and a blase, bored air about the whole proceedings. And when the bell rang He hippodromed hts stuff. Ye, Gods. The onei man I never expected to see hippodrome any thing which called for the wearing of boxing gloves. i True, he received I only $5,000 for his three two-round acts with three hams. But Dempsey of 0A drew no line between the stars ai.d the hams, big dough or little. Any man in front of him was sim ply something that had to be laid out. Of course his punching was off color. He lacked the old speed The Pittsburgh Pirates or today ere hopeful, of course, of winning ( tie forthcoming world's aerie? with the Washington Senators conceding that the former meets the latter. But the older generation of Pittsburgh fans have an added reason f.ir asking victory. The Pennsylvania city has watched t'vo of Us teams in action in the fall frolics one in 1903 and one in 1909 and the best these outfits could do was to get an even break. The Pirates of 190.1 were forced to bow to the Boston Red Sox in a series that ran through eight hectic battles. The Soxlets won five and the Pirates but three. In 1909 the black flag outfit met the Detroit Tigers. The Detroit bunch had just won their third straight pennant. And in the two preceding years they had faced the Chicago Cubs, Na tional league winners, full of con fidence, only to meet defeat. The Cubs won the first series four to none and the second saw the Tigers get but one game while the Cubs took four. So the Tigers went into the melee with the Pirates with blood in their eyes and froth running from their chops. When the smoke cleared away the Pirates were badly maimed but still swinging their cutlasses having downed the Tigers four games to three. It may or may not mean any thing, but In the five series that have been divided between the east and west those in which the west boosted one champ and the east the other the Atlantic coast section has emerged triumphant three times. In other words, the odds are 3 to 2 against the Pirates As related, Boston met Pitts burgh in 1903 and defeated that team. The Athletics met the Cubs in 1910 and won. four games to one. The White Sox met the Giants in 1 U 1 7 and defeated McGiaw's crow four games to two. The Red Sox clashed with the Cubs in 1918 and won four games to tv.o And Cleveland set back the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1920 by five games to two. While the Pennsylvania city lies westward mainly by division of the circuit rather than by geo-! (graphical location, the wer-tern fans can consider themselves lucky in grabbing off half the ser ies once more. They have sat idly by 11 of the 20 years the series has been staged to date while the east has hogged the fall clasi'. Ami the western teams have hid a monopoly on the show five times. Those five intersectional series listed above saved the day Tor them the other years.
