JBtiron of Leiperville Stops in as Defendant in Case
Where $omebddy Else's Nose Was 'Eixcd. Finishes
Second and Takes tlte Slap
By KOnERT W. MAXWELL.
Sports Iulllor tivenlo Public IdiT
UTF I tttr make any money tit he boxlnj; gAme," m6aned Jimmy Dougherty,
JL If I even make . muelj ok ten dollars, I will have It framed and nhow It
with much pride to nil of my frlcnl.. I never get anything but the worst of
it and If there la auy trouble V ojep Into it. Once I made pome money, but
later it wak discovered I was overpaid and I bad to gUc it back. And now,"
he cdntlnued tearfully, "look vhat I drew! A guy gets his nose fixed, ban
all the advantages of clear breathing, and I rauat pay the bill t 'Taln't right,
it ain't."
All of which U n prelude to the latest adventure of the Baron of Lelper
,. Tllle. We have read of the gentleman who was watching high bulldlnga and
nvt Only got the roof of hli mouth sunburned, but alro fell through an open
coal hole in the tddcwalk. We know nil about the visitor who clasped his
bauds behind his back while watching an nlrplnne nnd omebod swiped his
cuff buttons. The Huron has done better than that. Here's the Mid story:
A couple of j cars ago Jack Dempsey, heavy Vk eight champion of the world,
had his nose operated upon. He needed it for breathing purposes nnd wanted
a good job done. Therefore, after looking over all of the specialists In the
country, he selected Dr. Herbert M. CJoddard, 1531 Spruce street, regarded
as one of the leading surgeons in the 1'nited States. Dr. floddnrd performed
the operation nnd then pent lu his bill. Dcmpsay paid half and the other
half was not forthcoming. Therefore Milt was instituted.
Time drags, as time usually drags In those cases, nnd much correspondence
was c-ebnnged. Dcmpsey's nose was working on both cylinders, but a knock
ing developed on the part of his manager. He mid the bill was too large and
he'd not pay it. That made another reason for the suit.
ii Last winter Dougherty stepped into the picture. He was staging n boxing
Mneflt for a hospital in Chester nnd wanted Dempsey to appear. Jack de
murred, because he knew he would be served with the papers if lie ever
Upped into town. Dougherty assured him that cverjthlng was all right aud
that he would fix it.
Jack came over and was served with the papers after a short run down
Eleventh street. Then the suit came to trial three times, was postponed
each time, until Tuesday the finale wai put on In Judge Knowles' court.
7 JUS gave the Baron a chance to step in again and lend a helping
hand to the struggling boter.
The Baron Substitutes for Dempsey
THE courtroom ns crowded. His Honor was on the throne, attendants
-were scattered about nnd lawyers ery active and on the job. Ever thing
was set for the trlnl and the twelve good men and true were in position to sec
and hear everything.
"Jack Dempsey!" yelled the court crier, nnd there was no response.
"Jack Kcarns!" was next shouted, and there was nothing dotng.
"Who is the defendant In thin cnscV" asked the Judge.
"I am, your Honor," piped a voice In the bleachers, and up stepped
Jimmy Dougherty.
"How do you get into this?" the Baron was asked.
"Well, you see, Judge." said the substitute defendant. "I promlecd Jack
to tike cire of him, and I must keep my word. I said I would fix it If he
appeared at a benefit show, and now I gotta gn through with it. My nose
wasn't fixed or anything like that, but I gottn keep my word. Never let it
be said that Jimmy Dougherty went back on his word."
Then the trial began. The noe was missing, yo was the manager of the,
nose, but Dougherty was there to lako the Map.
After much argument by Attorneys James Jirecn and James B. McGranc
on the Dempsey side nnd I. D. Ley, member of the firm of Murphy A Levy,
for Dr. Goddard, it was proved that the operation wns a success and the fee
far from being exorbitant. Mr. Dougherty was nn interested listener and In
a short time had an idea of what It was nil about.
That was when the jury retired for five minutes and returned a verdict
In favor of Mr. Levy and Dr. Goddard.
"Now, what I want to know," asked Dougherty after it wa all over,
"is where I get off on this? All I do is step in and help a friend, even going
to t.'ial for him, because I gac my word. Giving my word Is all right, be
cause never let it be said that Jimmy Dougherty ever went back on a friend.
But when It comes to kicking in with ?G00, I gotta think this over."
jyOTT the case it in statu quo, or words to that effect. All of the
principals are satisfied meaning Dempsey, Kearns and Dr. God
dard, to say nothing of Mr. Levy. The Ilaron of Leiperville evidently
is holding the bag, but he ain't gone back on his word.
Tickets Going Fast for Big Fight
JUDGING from the demand for tickets for the Dcmpscy-Oirpentier thing
on July 2, the largest crowd that ever witnessed a boxing match will be
present when the opening gong clangs. Most of the high-priced se.ts already
have been sold and the others are going fast.
Before every big fistic performance it Is customary to listen to a lot of
bunk about a shortage of tickets a few weeks before the affair, and then learn
that thousands of pasteboards still are In the ticket offices. Such was the
case at Toledo. Out there It was said that ?CtO seats couldn't be had for love
or money, and on the day of the fight that section was only one-quarter filled.
This time eiery thing Is different. If you have any doubts, just try to
get a $30 seat. The demand has been enormous and big premiums arc being
paid. Orders bate come in from all parts of the country and now are being
turned back. That's the story handed to me in Atlnntic City Tuesday.
Leou Raines, who handled the tickets for Tex Illcknrd in Philadelphia,
ha disposed of every high-priced scat. He says the gate will be more than
$1,000,000, and Leon should know.
While the sale of tickets goes merrily on, tbe arena is being constructed
nnd the boxers are training every day. Carpcntler entertained at Manhasset
yesterday before a select audience and will repeat tomorrow. Dempsey works
daily at the shore.
rHERE is much interest in the coming scrap, despite the fact that
all of the critics believe Dempsey will win in n trait. Rut the
toting fan is a curious person. He wants to ire for himself and is
willing to pay for a look.
Phils Are in Midst of Winning Streak
BECAUSE of a friendly rainstorm the Phils made a clean sweep of the
Cincinnati series and today are resting comfortably In seventh place.
This Is a great achievement and something entirely unlooked for. Only one
.game was played, but It resulted In n victory, and It looks as if the Phils
had started on a wlnulng streak. All they have to do is play Brooklyn the
remainder of the week.
The Beds appear to be all shot and will be received with reverse English
when they stagger home in the last noUh. Two jenrs ago they were cham
pions, and now look at them !

FIRST EAST-WEST
All Home Teams Win Majority
of Games Except Phils
and Dodgers
TIGERS BREAK FIFTY-FIFTY
The first clash of Easl vs. West in
the two major leagues has closed with'1
out proving anything; decisive In the
way of one section being stronger or
weflkrr than the other in playing skill.
If PrOOf Of flnvthlnip tt-nn fm-nUhK.1 it
van simply that the average club is
able to piny better ball nt7home than
on uie roau.
Six of the eight, club which held
forth on their home grounds while the
Y estemeni of the Nntlonal League and
the Easterner of the American League
were invading their territory were able
Iv &,1$ even brcftk or be'ter. Only
the Phillies and Dodgers failed in this
reipect.
ing in the first interactional scries of
tnc year, enjoyed much better weather
in the West than did the National
leaguers, who were playing in the
Last.
Tliis fact, coupled with the ban on
Sunday baseball In Boston and this city
while nil the Westerners were plajinj
on the Sabbath, permitted fourteen
more games In the American than in
the National League.
. Of the sixty-one contests in the
Junior organization the Western clubs,
playing at home, won thirty-four games
nnd the traveling tennis won twenty
seven. In the senior leaeue tho home
Eastern clubs won twenty-six nnd the
invauers from the West won twenty
three. 1
Yanks' Trip Success
The Yankees, the onlv American
League club to make, a successful swing
through the West, completed the first
intersectional tour with even a better
record than anj of the home teams.
The Ilugmen won ten of their sixteen
contests, taking three out of four nt
potn uctrolt and Uevcland, nnd break
ing even nt Chicago nnd 8t. Louis.
The home clubs of the American
League mad the following records
against the Easterners, victories being
recorded aheau of dcirats: Chicago,
0-0; St. Louis, n-fi; Cleveland, 8-7:
Detroit, 8-8. Washington, with seven
victories ncnlnst the nine defeats.
ranked next to the Yankees nmong the
touring club". Boston won five and
lost nine, while the Mackmcn won five
and lost ten.
In the National League the Pirates
were most successful, compiling a high
er percentage of victories thnn any
other travellnc or home combination.
Gibson's league leaders won nine
games, while losing only three.
The Giants were next best, with ten
victories and four defeats. The Braves,
with seven victories and three M'tbncks,
and tbe Cubs, who won kix of their
eleven gnmes, were the onl other u
tionul Lenguers to set better than nn
even break. The figures for the other
teams were as follows: Cnrdinuls. ti-7;
Phllios, 4-7: Boblns. 5-f); Beds, 2-11.
Indians and Robins Fall
The two surprises provided by these
first Intersectional clashes were the
failures of the 1020 champions, the
Cleveland Indians and Brooklyn Bob
Ins. Speaker's men got just better thun
an even break, but tney fattened on
the Mackmcn and Bed Sox after win
ning one game of four with the Sena
tors and getting the same portion in
the Yankee series.
Brooklyn, after a great flash against
other Eastern teams, maoe u poorer
showing against the Westerners thnn
did anv other home team in the Na
tional League. The Boblns won three
of four games with the Reds us a
starter, then dropped three of four w'ith
the Cardinals and followed with four
straight defeats at the bands of the
Pirates.
An even break in two games with the
Cuba completed the set, showing live
victories agatuut nine aeieats.
The failure of the Beds, who won
only two of their thirteen games, was
another surprise, as was the success of
the White Sox, who won nine of their
fifteen games.
Each ji-ague provided one clean sweep
of four games for the full count. V hilc
the White Sox turned the trick against
tbe Mackmen, tbe Cubs swept a three
game series with the Phillies and Cleve
land did the same against Boston.

MANY EXTRA BASES
While all of the cliihn in the National
League were Idle yesterday, our Ath
letlca were winning their necond in a
row from the Detroit Tigers. The
Mackmen did the bet fielding in the
serlcH, and it was this that enabled
Scott Perry to get by. After the con
test Ty Cobb took a punch at Eddie
nomincll, show Ing1 that the same
brotherly feeling c-xiMn between the
A'n and Detroit as of old.
The Athletics' 5-.'l victory ended their
stay In the West. Thev will hne a

Mnth-lnnlng rallies decided three
American Leugue contests yesterday.
The Cleveland world's chnmDlons and
the, St. Louis Hrowns each scored the
winning run after two men were out.

twice in the final inning. Their respec

Of the eighty hits made in th Amer
lean League yesterday, nineteen were

The remarkabln increase in spring
batting noted In tho major baseball
leagues thin sfason is confirmed bv a
comparison of the record for tho first
month with n similar period in 1020
nnd 1010. The resultant gain in rubs
scored is oven of greater proportion, due
to the long-distance hitting prevalent
In both leagues.

a week's menu.
No wonder the dutsldcr, who would
rather discuss 'art or politics or busi
ness, feels that he has a lusty squawk
coming,
A. H. I' in Punch, voices this com
plaint in tho following verse, which he
calls
"The Cure for a Nation of Shop Talkers'
"The fourteenth man said fiercely, 'At
