Fistic Fans UMOR THA T BADER WILL TAKE DEMPSEY ,CA USES Story Is Getting Stronger That Champion Is to Shake Jack Kearns and Place Himself Under the Management of Atlantic City Mayor ' ' y KOHKHT V. MAXWKI.I. Sports IMitnr Etenlns; 1'ubllc Ider Atlantic City, July 11. THE latest sensntlounl rumor in boxing circles which has swept the country t In the lnst few days is Unit Jock l)cm.cv Is about to hung the exit sign on his manager, attach the tinware, clvo him the nlr anil otherwise cut looo from John McKcrnun, known In polite anil other fistic circles as Jack Kcnrus. In New York the report is RCttlnjc stronger every minute j in Philadelphia the wise persons say there must bo something to it, and down here where they pound the lloardwnlk, nbsorb the cool air and exude hot air, the (oiks arc all het up about It. This is only natural, bccnue the luside dopesters have it that Edward L. Under, Mayor of America's Playground, will take charge of the affairs of the champ of the universe, and the Inauguration Is to take place any day. In other words, the story is that everything is set nnd the fireworks arc bout to begin. Changing managers Is n popular Indoor sport with boxers. Unless one has had seven or eight one is not considered h real, hlgh-clnss fighter. Home times n champ will decide to handle his own affairs, thus saving the manager's "cut," but more often some one else is selected to fill the job reluctantly Tacatcd by his predecessor. Most of tiie time the startling news of a mana gerial chu'ngp is not taken seriously nnd the scribes just giggle and refuse to give It 11 fumble. However, in a case like this, where the greatest money getter the game ever produced Is involved, we nre forced to give It more than passing notice. Whenever nnything happens in Atlantic City It is discussed pro and '" at informal meetings In the lobb) of the Trnymoie, which are proMdiM over by Daniel J. McLoughlin. chief of the (Sreeters' Association. Mv. Mclaughlin was presiding when wo stepped into the picture. "What about this story of Mayor Hadcr taking charge of Jack Dcmp Bey's business In the future?" we ventured, after gaining recognition. "Any truth iu the report that Kearns is about to be giveu the gate?" "Well," replied Mr. Mclaughlin impressively, "jes and no. Where there Is smoke there always Ih lire, arid 1 can see a lot of smoke. Everybody eays n change is to be made and our Mayor Is the logical successor, but you never enn tell. tf yS .-I suggestion," and Mr. McLaughlin wagged his he-ad sagely, "I would call on Mr. Hadcr and ask His Honor what it's all about. Perhaps you can get the low-down, to say nothing of the up-and-down and ttrice-acrnss. He might know something about it. All News to the Mayor fpHEREFORE. we called on the Mayor in his office In City" Hnll. T.est J- there be some doubt about it, nllow us to state that all Mnors can hi found in their offices in the City HolK Mr. Hadcr is no exception. He was In, despite the fact it was a hnlf-holldny and all of the others had left. The Chief Executive at the shore is a hard-working person. Hlrznncr was at his desk when we walked into the private office. Papers were piled around him and he was busy strnightenlng things out. His coat was off nnd he sat there in his shirt sleeves, perspiring profusely as he toiled, but aridently enjoying himself. "How about that story thnt you" we asked as nn overture, but the ringing of the telephone crabbed the speech "Just a minute." said the Mayor, and he picked up the receiver. After the call had been answered there was a knock at the door and Mr. Bader answered it in person. A woman who had been asked to get out of ker home by a new owner wanted to know If the Mayor could help her. The Mayor could. "Go home nnd send thnt owner to me." he snid. "Don't worry nny more bout it." Half a dozen other callers came after that, and then Mr. nailer said : "What was the question you started to ask me?" ' "Are you going to manage Jack Dempsey?" we Inquired boldly. The Mayor laughed. "Not that I know of." he replied. "I have read 11 about It, but that's all. Demptey never sold anything to me, so I know mothing about it. The best thing is to ask Dempsey. HI DON'T caro to discuss it because, as a business man, I never A entertain a proposition unless it is presented to mc. Right now, you know as much about it as I, so what can say?" Bader and Dempsey Are Pals FIS known thnt Dempsey and Mayor Uader nre close friends nnd wero together cpnstnntly while the champ was training hore. They met every Morning to run on the road or go horseback riding; they went to church to gether, and .Tack always turned to his friend for advice. Two hours before the fight In Jersey City, when Dempsey was resting In the home of Gennrnl Heppenheimer, he discussed the battle with Uader. "Whnt do you think of this fellow?" he asked. "Is he as good as they eay he is?" Uader told him what he hnd seen and suggasted n body attack nnd short rights to the jaw. Dempsey said he had figured it out the same way, and used that form of attack It Is significant thnt the champ should talk things over with Under In stead of Kearns before such an important buttle. Kenrns evidently recnted this, for there was a rnnrked coolness between them after thut Several days before he left for Jersey City reports were spread that Dempsey had quarreled with Kearns and a split was Imminent. The chump suddenly discovered that his business affairs were not In the best shnpe and collectors constantly appenred for payment on old debts. Many luwsults were filed, all against the champ, and he didn't know anything about them. This became monotonous and he finally called his manager to account. The lntest lawsuit Is likely to caiibc a permanent break, if reports are , to be taken seriously. Mrs. Barrett, who wos enretaker at Dempsey's cottage and cooked and kept the plnce In order for eight weokg, was given the Inrge eum ot $100 for her work. Before leuving for Jersey City Teddy Hayes gave her a check and said, "Take this and we will see you Inter." Mrs. Barrett filed suit for $300 more and this reached Dempsey In the West. Jack wired back he didn't know nnything about It, but would see that the woman was given what she asked. Thus the champ again was hnnded eome u rides l red publicity, ALL the champ has had since tanning the title is trouble. Tie is J constantly in legal Jams, and, it is said, through no fault of his, Bader Not After Managerial Job "llrH. BADER, Is not seeking the position as mnnagcr of Jnck Dempsey. He 1VJL never has broached the subject to Jack nor has Jack said anything to him. It is not known if Mr Bader wonld accept the position If offered. Ho ta a big business man, has been elected to the highest office In Atlantic City, is comfortably fixed nnd has no desire for flnancinl gain. He Is a national figure and has the respect and confidence of all. Before he became Mayor. Mr. Bader was president nnd superintendent of the Farmers' Supply and Produce Co. and also ran n big contracting business lie employed more than "00 men. He knows nil nbout nthletlcs, having played football In his younger dnys at I.atrnbe nnd on the Phillies and Athletics. He attended the University of Pennsylvania for n time, but never played on the Red and Blue eleven. Mayor Bader would loso no prestige if he took up the managerial reins for Dompsy. He would help the champ In more ways than one and do a whole lot In restoring him to public esteem. He nlso could handle his business In a businesslike wny. The champ of the world is a big money-maker. In a yenr he will get, .through various sources lihe the movies, testimonials to advertisers, theatrical work and boxing, close to one-half million dollars That's a lot of money for one man to make. Manufacturing concerns clenrlng a profit of that size would have thousands of employes, mnny buildings and an investment which would run Into millions. Kenrns has handled Dempsey's affnirs In n shrewd mnnner when It enmo to mnklng matches and bringing him before the public. He must be given credit for taking Jack when he was virtually unknown and pushing him to the top of the ladder. He Is a very capable boxing manager one of the best. According to latest reports from the West, he will continue as Dempsey's pilot, and Kearns himself admits he Is in no danger of losing his job. But you never can tell what will happen in the Boxing game. Perhaps Dempsey desires a change and will offer the position to Mayor JBader. Then It will be up to hizroner to uccept or refuse. WJOWRVEll, there is one thing certain. If he accepts, Mr. Bader will do a lot toward elevating the boxing game. Corvrtoht, ttit, bv Public I.tdatr Co. JIM HEIMBECKER A STAR Ma shall E.

Up Over Yarn That Dempsey Is to EIGHI .300 HITTERS AND IN LAS PLACE Phils Have Wrecking Crew at Present Failure of Pitchers Keeps Them in Collar NEW MEN PROVE STARS Fans who follow the doings of the Phillies with the Interest that only n dyed-ln-the-wool fan enn hnve arc nsking each other whether their fnvor Ites are going to take a spurt forwanl since the acquisition by the Donovanltes of Goldle Itapp, Jimmy Smith nnd Ed Konetohy. During the last week there was a notlcenble improvement in the play of the Hroad and Huntingdon streets clan when the three above named players were In the lineup. One of the two gnines won during the week came as the result of splendid playing on the part of the trio, while the other gnmes nave shown that there Is n possibility that something will be doing in the future once the pitching staff gets Into shape. Outside of shortstop the Inner works looks better than It has since the pennant-winning team of 1015. Konetchy with his experience nnd knowledge of the gnme has made the Initial Back look like it did when I.udcrus wns In his prime. T,udv wns n better slugger thnn Konetchy, but he could never field in the same class as the former Brooklyn itnr J. Miller, nnd lce luck the clnss 01 nrst snekers for n big league tenm. The former butted well for n while, but for nil around ability he Is fnr over shadowed by Koney. I.ee lnck experi- nee and nothing else. Perhaps n year of sitting on the benVh and watching the antics of the veterans of the League combined with what Konetchy will teach him. should make I,ee next jenr a regu inr. He has all the natural nbillty nec essary to make n first snekcr, but the thing that counts the most, experience, Is lacking, How They Hit Jimmy Smith, the former Cincinnati utility pla.icr, Is one of the smnrtest fielders we have had for some time. He covers more ground than Johnny Baw ling" and he goes after everything hit nenr "ecoiid base, scooping up ground ers nnd making throws thnt hnve opt tied the eyes of the fans. Like I.ee. he will elenn much knowledge from the veteran Konetchy. ("oldie Itnpp has the makings of one of the best third bnsemen of the League. Hnd he been nble to hit with the same consistency during hla entire stay with the Giants as he did nt the start, Mc Grow would never hnve let him go. Itnpp is one sweet fielder, coming in tor bunts like Milton Stock and tspcniing the hnrd ones like Helnie Groh. Out In his old pnsture ground In th" minors Happ was noted as a sterling fielder. Once his hitting picks up, he will be talked nbout as much as -iny of the stars of the League. During the lat)t week lie showed rare power with the nsh, smash ing out one hit out of three times lit bat In his first game, three out of five. In cluding a double, in his second game and two singles out of four trips to the plate on Saturday In his third game. .Six hits out of twelve times at bat for an average of .500 is hitting something like a big leaguer. If Rnpp continues at his present pace. Donovan will hnve one worry lifted from his grny-thatched dome. Smith Bats .:t75 In four games Jimmy Smith has socked out six hits, including a homer and a double, out of sixteen trips to the plate, which Is batting nt an average of .375. Konetchy has hnd five hits out of fourteen trips to the platter for a mark of .857, which Is right smart hitting In any league. Taking the three players as u whole, and It Isn't the hnrdest thing In the world to dope out that in their first 'ew games they have given Donovan n thousand per cent profit In the deal. A shortstop who can field wilt give the Donovnnltes an Infield second to none in the League, provided, of course, the three new men continue to swat nt their present clip. The outfield la one of the best in the league as far as hitting is concerned. tfoth .Meusel and (J.v Williams are away up in the threo-hundred list, and both are good fielders. Wrlghtstone ut pres ent Is batting at a .305 clip. K. Miller and Parkinson, who have been alter nating nt shortstop, have anything hut unhealthy batting averages, the formor clipping the horsehlde nt .H12 nnd the lntter nt .303. If the shortstoppers could field, Don ovan would hnve one of the best com binations in either League. Seven .300 hitters In the field at present, six of whom can cover ground, would mako uuy team with n capable pitching staff n pennnnt contender. which, bringing nil the facts nnd figures down to rock bottom, prove the failure of the Phils to do any thing worth while in the League down to the matter of pitching iilone and fielding at shortstop. Bruggy Is batting .815. which gives Donovan eight .800 hitters at present, counting of course the three-tiny nver ngOH of the new men, to start any gumc with. What good pitching wouldn t do for such a tenm Isn't worth talking nbout. Wilbur Hubbell. Jimmy King and Ilauragnrtner have bad to hear the brunt of all the twirling, with oc casional help from George Smith. Meadows is suffering from n had nrm. Causey, tnuled to the OinntJt, suffered from a sore nrm for months, Delnwnrc Uetta has Just returned from the hospital after an opera tion. Keonnn was sent to Roches ter lnst week for more seasoning. Out hldn of thnt the pitching stuff nt Urond and Huntingdon streets lo one of the best in the country. Hut Donovan has hope He looks at his fielders and j earns for pitchers, nnd maybe he will get them nnd mnybo he will not. If Cnusey had been. In shape and Meadows pitching in nny kind of form and the other regulars had sufficient rest be tween turns there is little doubt In tho mind of the uveroge fan thnt the I'hils would be out of the cellar. Slim Harris, Iron Man The victory of Slim Harris ovei Cleveland lnst Saturday was his eighth straight, a brilliant record for a twlrler with a last-pluce team, i.eity .Moore has five straight to his credit. If Rom mel. Hasty, Naylor and Keefe would tome through the Mackmen would sweep their wny up to the top of the recond division, Judging by their present rnte of speed with good pitching.

He Is Jimmy Hanlon, of, Denver, and tho Colorado clouter has fascinated New York persons of pugilism so much thnt bpnrobably will get n crnck nt the lightweight championship shortlv nfter tho start of the regular 1021-22 sen son If not hefore. In fact. Penny Leonard, the champ himself, already has announced himself willing to take on the Denver gjoveman, .Tack Welnsteln. of the Penny Leonard Cheering Club of Philadelphia, returned from the big city today with a story to the effect that tho tltleholder was readv yes. anxious to meet the Hanlon fellow. "I never had the chance to box Bat tling Nelson," Welnsteln quotes Leon ard ns snying, "and I have never met nny one who used the snme tactics ns the Dnne. I hnve been wanting for some time to meet one of those nggres slve. tenrlng-in battlers, nnd Just ns toon ns n promoter offers me it dnte with Hnnlon I'll sign for the match right nwny," Is Well Again Welnsteln also brought the informa tion thnt Leonard 'had entirely recu perated from a sore thoat, which caused the cancellation by Leonard of a match with Bailor Freedtnan In Penton Har bor -on the Fourth of July, and several other later bouts. Leonard will rest for nnother week before he will resume training, nnd In the meantime his manager, Pllly Gib son, is finishing negotiations for a siring of mntehes for the tltleholder during the open-nlr season. One of these bouts mny be with Lew Tendler then again it may not. According to Welnsteln, Gllisnn seems to be Ignorant of the hitch In n Tendler Leonard bout. "I nlrendy hnve ngrced to terms for n meeting between Penny nnd Tendler," says Gibson, "and, renlly I no not know why the contest hns not been closed yet.

TUB worth of n battleship depends not only upon its slxtcen-inch guns, but also upon the two-foot wall of steel that guards Its defense. The same goes for a heavyweight. The fact that Dempsey carries both the sixteen -inch guns nnd the armor-plate jnw accounts for his preponderance. And an he also happens to have the speed of a destroyer, you can figure for joureelf the probabilities of his early destruction. After Thirty Years IT HAS been close upon thirty years since Jame J. Corbett stepped forth with n new boxing style and upset the old order. In that thirty years no one else has come along with anything equal to Corbett'g all-around skill in the heavy weight class. No one has arrived who hns known as much about tho science of boxing. If Corbett had only hnd the punch of a FlUslmmons or a Demp sey he would have been the greatest heavyweight of all time, with no one carrying a look in for at least ten )ears. Neither Dempsey nor Carpentler ap proaches Corbett as a boxing master, with his nbillty to weave In and out, to hit nnd get nwny. Carpentler, with this elusive style, plus the kick he carries, would have topped Dempsey inside of ten rounds. But to each mail only so much is al Entirely Up to Tendler, Wire From Billy Gibson Wily Gibson, manager of Benny Leonard, wires from New York : "TU is a final ultimatum to Lew Tendler. Am sick nnd tired of talk emanating from his camp concern ing match with Leonard. Tho cham pion Is and has been willing to mnke lightweight limit for Tendler, but lntter lacks cournga to box him. I insist that Tendler either Imme diately signify his willingness to box Leonard or forever hold his peace. 1 nm willing to consider any offer for match." of Money-Saving Prices $29.50 for onr $35 Quality Suits $32.50 for our $45 Quality Suits $38.50 for our $50 Quality Suits $42.50 for our $60 Quality Suits $55.00 for our $75 Quality Suits A great many good customers of the William H.
