Todaj the big pn?e will be a box of shoe polish, which will be presented to the club scoring the least number of runs and winning the least number of games in the double header The prize is appropriate, for if you can't shine at the head, you an shine at the foot Although Richard Kudolph. the bald eagle from the Bronx, twirled his Usual intelligent ball game Jtid demonstrated time nnd again the triumph of mind over matter, the local blackshders should ha- e copped IJxiecilingl bum coaching on the base lines in the sleuth, wlwh held I.uderus on third instead of sending him home with what would Imtr been the Uing score, gummed up one part of the act and other eriors of oini-Mnn worked swell for the Msitors Sicking lhcd up to his uJinc when he tried to stop l'riath at third in the ninth when he scond from second on i'earce's ingle ujil afterward showed his mind was in New ork or wherewr tne I, units were plaving, when he allowed himself to be called out m strikes fur the last putout in the ninth Eddie will not be with us erj long.

Malone is a good fielder, but a weak hitter, and the Dodgers need some one who can soak a few biugles Kilduff is a good soaker The return of Raj Schmandt caused the transaition IUj is a good second baseman, a good hitter nnd n joungster who should improve with age He is better than Mugee, and Robbj was waiting until he reeotcred from the injury which laid him low in a practice game down in Jacksonville He took Magee on n trade with Cincinnati, turning over Bill Kopf, who refused to sign. With Schmandt back in the line up, Lee was superfluous, for second base was the only position he could pin.. Magee started with the St. Louis Cards When the Feds started, Lee was made manager of the Brooklvn club nnd when the trouble was over found himself with the New York Yankees under Bill Donovan. He had a big con tract, but failed to make good and was shunted to the Browns. Last .vear he was traded to Cincinnati and this ear landed in Brookljn. Now he J-ls ,a member of the Cubs, which shows he is an all round athlete. Seven different clubs in three leagues looks something like a record. The Eastern clubs had a tough time of it in the West Outside of New York, the teams in this section had a disastrous vojage, the Phils, of course, leading the others bj several laps. Our bojs did not win a game until the last day In Cincinnati, ending the trip with thirteen defeats and one victory. Brooklyn won four and lost twelve and Boston won three and lost ten BR IIOOKIjYX and cw York irere rom the tccsterncrs. Plenty of Conflicting CONFLICTING dope continues to flow out of Toledo, nnd close followers of the big championship match between Willard and Dempsey find them selves Btauding on oue car, not knowing whith way to turn I"erv writer has a different angle and sends in different Dorics One day it looks as if Willard would win in a walk and the nett cicrj thing faors Dempsey. The dope is uncertain and ut best the only thing to do is to make a guess as to the winner and stick to it. You hate two chances one to win and one to lose. We Iearu that Big Bill Tate took a couple of slams at Dempsey the other day and almost laid the challenger low. He soiked him with.n flock of lefts and crossed his night, finding the target with apparent ease. This caused the .experts to boldlj assert that if Dempsej is as easj to hit as that, Willard will knock him stiff in a round or two. Then, when one has made up his mind to hock the family jewels and mortgage the old homestead to bet on big Jess, the following story comes from the Willard camp : ''Those who daily are inspecting the work of the champion and challenger have reached the conclusion that Willard is not in condition at the present time and that if he continues the system of training now in force he will be far from good condition on the day of the battle. Willard's flesh is flabby, Ms wind poor and he is much slower in moement than when he faced Moran in New York. "The champion has cut out road work entirely, and as he does no rope skipping, he therefore is completely neglecting the essential part to training looking to improvement of the wind. He may regard that item of no impor tance owing to the shortness of the bout, but if called on to fight at a fast clip for six or eight successive rounds he might regret it. "Willard has no trainer and declines to accept advice from anv one. He never goes to his training quarters except in the nfternoon, when he boxes a few comedy rounds with his training staff. The champfon seems to regard the entire matter as a big joke." THERE you note the tow doien from both camps. Perhaps it is propaganda to affect the betting, but anyuay, how can a guy dope 1 out anything after reading that sort of stuff.' Yanks Threaten Giants'1 Home-Run Record AT THE expense of our lowly A's, the New York Americans are liable as JLJ. not to beat out the fiiauts for circuit-clout laurels. It won't be the Mackraen's fault if the Yankees do fall down. By hitting seven home runs in the last two games the Yankees closed In on the Giants for the home-run supremacy of baseball The Yanks now have eighteen circuit slams, against twenty-one of the Giants. Kauff and Doyle are tied among the Giants for home-run laurels, each clubber having afx: to bia credit. . . Peckinpaugh now leads the unKees I while Baker has three Bodie has two, 1 each have one. Pipp is the on'y home lto lead the Yankee home-run chorus, ktride In bitting. While the Yankees did not create a rlin resterdav. it is a record for the old-timers said they could recall no time fir homers in a single game, not even in me oi'j anjs mat me veterans line to tell us about. THE Athletics' pitchers are just about in the best of shape to help Miller H-iggms't men pass the Giants' home-run mark.

AMD TAe HARD OL.D EKArvAS 'NJeuiiC'Twi'siG 1 x tj J' -3&r ism TO REFEREE BOUT Willard Holding Out for Tex, and Promoter May Be Forced to Officiate BIRTHDAY FOR DEMPSEY Toledo, O.. June 21 Tex Itickard mav be forced into the ring Jul 4 to referee the championship bout between Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey, reports here today indicated. It was said Willard is holding out for Itickard. In order, therefore, to sac his bout and the thousands of dollars paid for tiikets, it was believed, Te might agree to officiate, although he has stated several times that he would re fuse. An effort was being made to have Willard agree to Olhe Pecord. official referee of the Toledo Athletic Club. Willard, however, is usually un changeable in his decisions. Itickard would be acceptable to Dempsey and Jack Kearns, his manager, Itickard was forced to referee the bout nine years ago between Jim Jef fries and Jack Johnson at Reno, which he promoted. He entered the ring nfter the principals had failed to reach an agreement. The same situation may conic up here. Dempsej 's Birthday Today is Jack Dempsey 's twenty fourth birthdaj, but if he continues the stunts ho has been pulling around his training quartets it will be his sparring partners, and not himself, who win re ceive the traditional spankings. Yesterday Dempsej delivered himself of a couple of well-chosen left hooks, both of which found lodging on the jaw of Big Bill Tate, dusky duplicate of Jess Willard. Bill took n snooze in the ring. Alter tnat attair uempsey iook on the Jamaica Kid for a pair of rounds and the kid had the time of his life escaping borne rough treatment. Can't "Pull" Punch Criticism of Dempsey's defense, which has been so free, evidently spurred him to greater efforts, and he used his gloves jesterday with telling effect. "It's hard for me to hold a punch with ray sparring partners," he said. "I see nn opening, the fist shoots nnd I may feel sorry afterward. There is no kidding about my sparring. It's meant for just" what it does. I don't ask my partners to hold back anything and I am holding back nothing mjself. If I should happen to get cracked hard enough to floor me it's all in the day's work. I wouldn't worry about it if it did happen. I'm training to whip Jess Willard, and not for the public. I be lieve I can whip Jess Willard." Langford Picks Jess Sam Langford, the Boston Tar Baby, visited the Dempsey camp. The Tar Baby was mildly amused when he saw his former rival, Bill Tate, dusting the restn from his tights. "Bill looks kind of natural kissing the canvas," remarked Sam. "I don't think that Dempsey has a chance at all. Willard ought to beat him easily. He will win by a knockout and when ever he wants -to. I am quite sure of that. Dempsey misses too much and he leaves himself wide open for a man like Mr. Willard." That the consensus of opinion here is that it will be a pretty even affair is shown by the lagging in the betting. Negotiations at 10 to 7 are pretty slow. Dejection set in with the Dempsey backers yesterday. Today the Willard backers were serious when Bill Tate sat down to meditate. Betting on rounds started today, but it is lagging. Jack Hrlnen Quits Jack Ileinen, who boxed a while with Willard, stopped in at the Dempsey camp to take a farewell look at Wil liam Harrison before shaking tho dust of Toledo from his feet. Jack is con vinced that Willard has aome power to bis punches. "I'd like to stay and work out the contract," said Jack, but I understand that a'broken neck is a bard matter to repair. If I remained much longer I'd I bare' had a broken neck." ((.AvM - AMD You Willard-Dcmpscy Gate May Reach Million Mark Toledo. June 24.
