Because of Knockout Sock George Chaney Is Being Touted as a Championship Contended

CLEVERNESS WITHOUT
PUNCH INSUFFICIENT
TO WIN RING CROWN
Boer JFiti IPaJop Lifce George Chaney Has Better
Chance of Annexing Boxing Championship Than
One With Cleverness of Johnny Dundee
ny HOIIKKT V. MAXWELli
Sport Editor Erenlng Tuhlle Ledger
CLEVERNESS is n big asset In boxing, but it Is seldom thn: n (nut-moving,
spectacular, clever person who docs not ponws the old roch-'em-nnd-Bouk-Vm
wallop is eer-n wearing the championship crown and basking in the
sunlight of luxury. It tnkos a gent with n hard sock In one or both mitts to
rab off the dough these days.
Foi that reason Oeorge Chaney, o Baltimore, who meets Johnny Dundee
at Shibe Park tonight, Is a popular boxer and touted as a championship con
tender. He Is iflrt the cleverest boxer In the world, but when It comes to
hitting with his left mauler he Is In a class by himself. George has been going
good this year, scoring a dozen knockouts and wiping out nn old defeat. He
outpointed Joe Tlplltz n few weeks ago In a return match. Joe rocked George
to sleep In the first meeting, thereby setting him back several points.
Chancv has been knocking 'cm for round trips for the Inst six years. Ai
a featherweight he cleaned up the entire division with the exception of Kit
bane, and he boxed Johnny for the championship in 11)10. He was knocked
cookoo In two rounds, nnd after that became larger and stronger and entered
the lightweight class. A couple of year ago he was In top form, regarded
as the best lightweight in the enuntrj with the exception of Leonard, lie
was matched to meet Lew Tendlcr and Lew caressed lrtm on the chin in the
first round. , .
Now he Is back again. Chaney Is one boxer who does not mind the tips
and downs. He still has the kick in his left and can end any fight if he con
nects with the whiskers properly. Therefore, his bnttlc with Dundee tonight
should be a good one. I'erhups Johnny has gone back nnd perhaps he hnmi t.
At any rnte. he will have to go at top speed to keep away from the sudden
slumber, because a gin with the haymaker is always dangerous.
Had Chancv been boxing Leonard that night in New York instead of
Ritchie Mitchell", nnd had he put over the same slam on the chin, Ucnny never
would have taken his hip off the canvas until after the count of ten. There
Core, George is dangerous at all times.
IS WAS laid before, cleverness helps a great deal, but not enough
to stand out in the golden shower which falls around champions.
Wallop Chief Forte in Winning Titles
PACKET McFARLAND was one of the shiftiest lightweights we ever have
had but he never won a title. Mike Gibbons never could sock very well
nnd he missed the middleweight crown. Bottling Levinsky could outbox any
heavvwelght. but lark of a finishing clout kept him out of the -.elect circle.
The same goes for Billy MIske and Carpcntlcr. They have everything except
Jack Dempsev never was considered seriously until he finished Fred
Fulton In eighteen seconds and then waded through the other heavj weights,
scoring a long string of knockouts. His punching made him champion not
his cleverness. No matter how awkward a fighter may be, If he can hit He
gains respert nnd popularity.
One night Kid McCov. who wn- known as n very shifty, brainy, clever,
smart boxer, met a et-un named Jack McCormick. The Kid was taking
things ensv and nodding to friends In the audience when Jack started one
from the floor. swihed it through th air and landed flush on McCoy s chin.
The battle was over and the Kid wa carried out. Al McCoyno relntlon
of the famous Kid put over a lucky one nnd won the middleweight champion
ship from George Chip. And there are many other similar cases
Bcnirv Leonard wax not much of n drawing card until he started to
knock out' his opponents, nnd when he started he didn't end until he won the
championship. Lew Tendlcr scored a few knockouts and became one of the
greatest drnwlng enrds in the country. In the meantime, Johnny Dundee,
who can't hit hard, is trailing along on the outside, despite the, fact he Is the
fastest null cleverest man in his division. .
Therefore, It will be interesting to wntch Chancy tonight against tn
Scotch-Wop. George has the wallop and JohnDy has the cleverness. Twenty
punches delivered bv Duudee nro not so effective ns one sock from Chaney.
One man will do all of the work and the other will wait for an opening to
land a slumber slam. Nothing could be more exciting than that.
Another bout will intromit c Willie Jackson, who, until he knocked out
Dundee with a punch in the first round, never was given a tumble. "W illi"
mwts Jlmmv Hnnlou, a sock slammer from the West nnd said to be a ter
rific hitter, 'it is seldom thnt four such men are seen In the same performance.
WtOXrXO is the biggest sport in
;ir,,t in the i-nrtnui mutches,

Hard to Pick Winner in Open Golf
WHEN the United State open golf championship starts In Washington
tomorrow there is like' to be plenty of excitement. Jock Hutchison
will be there to do his best to repent hli glorious triumph nbroad, and so will
all of the other leading golfers of this country. Some 204 have entered and
the quallfving rounds will bo played tomorrow and Wednesday.
Picking n winner in an event of this kind is not what could be called a
lead-pipo cinch Many believe Hutchison will come through, but the odds
on hlin are nbout 25 to 1. Willie Ogg. winner of the Shawnee tourney, has
received hardly any consideration, while the three foreigners Mitchell, Duncan
and Klrkwood are being boosted on all sides. One of this trio is expected
to win, but expectations menn nothing In golf.
Duncan's wonderful work at Shawnee, after playing mediocre, minus
golf at the start, has caused a lot of talk George turned In a snappy ,"() for
one round, running up the staggering total of 11 on one holt- After that
he got both feet on the ground nnd finished in n tie for second place Both
Duncan and Mitchell showed they could play a terrible game at times, while
on other occasions rise to supreme heights. They have been weak on the
grsens, but when they get going they will be tough birds to bent.
Klrkwood plays marvelous golf nnd is quite steady. He has done well
In every tournament since lenvlng Australia and wemi to be In top form.
Jim Barnes, Walter Hagan, Leo Diegel, Jack Burke and Emmctt French
am a few of our pros who will be on the job. Ilagnn is hitting the ball with
his old-time skill and his pitch shots are marvels of accuracy, but his putting
U very much on the blink. Walter should be right at the top of the field.
J. Wood Piatt will be among the amateurs nnd much Is expected of him.
Evans, Ouimet, Bobby Jones and Jesn- Guilford, who recently bent Ouliiiet
for the Massachusetts title, also have sent in their entries.
THE thirty-two best soorers on Tuesday and Wrilnendav it ill
qualify, and after that two days will be spent determinant one
ioinner and sixty-three losers.
"Loon" Tourney on at North Hills
GOLF ETIQUETTE with reterse English will be the featuie of a tourna
ment to be held nt North Hills on Tuesday, Jul? 20 One of those
"loon" tourncjs, now famous throughout the United Stntt's. will In- put on.
nnd it looks like something renl and regular The object is to determine the
kind of disposition and temperament of every player in the club.
However, the rules nnd regulations tell nil about the event Have a look:
"The event shall be played in squads of either ten or liftcpn men each
Btjnad to have a cnptaln appointed by the committee, who shall keep track
of each hole. The squad tees off on the first tec and the entire squad plays
tho hole together. The man having the poorest score is eliminated on the
first hole, and the man having the poorest score ou the second hole Is elimi
nated, etc., until there it one man left, who will he the winner of his quad.
In case two or more tie with the poorest score on a hole, they simply piny on
until one is eliminated.
"All rules of golf must be strictly observed, but it Is requested that none
of the known ethics of golf be observed in any manner; in other words, It will
be quite all right for you to give the player about to make a shot a real rasp
berry nt any time your conscience dictates. The only thing you must not do
Is to Interfere with the player's stance or swing.
"When the sqund winners are determined they shall Immediately return
to No. 1 tee. and the winners of the different squads then play off the event
In the snme manner as outlined above.
4t A FTEli a player is eliminated he limply touts the gallery and
uses his ingenuity nnd imagination to develop tray nnd mrnnt
of destroying the mental equilibrium of those ichn are still in the
game,"

YANKS AND INDIANS
ONE GAME APART
Races in Both Leagues Aro Get
ting Tighter, With 3-Oamo
Difference in National
A'S ON THE SLIDING BOARD
That old race In the American Lengue
is getting to be a humdinger. The
week-end survey reveals the fact that
this morning one full game separates
the world's champion Cleveland from
the New York Yankees. Ench scored
a win on Saturday, but yesterday Trls
nnd his team suffered n keen humili
ation nt the hands of Zeb Znchary nnd
his Washington pals.
In nil thirteen runs crossed the plat
ter out in the Forest City, while, the
best the Indians could mnke was two.
In the meantime Tyrus Raymond Cobb
and his tnmed Tigers were making n
futile effort to stop the Ruth nine nnd
the Yanks triumphed, ft to !i. Gotham
wns recorded as being extremely well
pleased after the week-end.
In the National the crucial scries be
tween the Giants nnd the Pirates as
sumed the eveii-stcphen state of nffnlrs,
the former winning with ease on Sat
urday and losing in ten hectic frames
yesterday. The standing this morning
records n three-game difference, the
ame ns existed before hostilities
started over In New York.
Daddy Cutshaw's triple In the tenth
w itli two of his pals on the sacks made
the fans in Smoketown extremely happy,
Hnmilton wns the responsible lad, white
Cecil Algernon C'nuscv. late of these
parts, was the losing party. Red as
sumed the task of winning from tho
Pirates In the ninth inning. All went
well In that frame, but in the tenth,
with two down. Causey weakened and
the pesky Buccaneers lnmbnstcd him
for enough to secure tho victor-.
Woo lo Us!
While the fnns in New York, Clcvc
lund and Pittsburgh are being held
breathless by the Important part their
teams are playing, right here in Phila
delphia the fans held their breath sev
eral times on Saturday and Sunday and
ench time ns thej came up for air they
found things weren't just right.
On Saturday Baby Doll Jacobson
socked a home run off the delivery of
Handsome Eddie Rommel that gave
the Browns the one-run margin to win
n 4-H game. The Browns deserved thnt
fracas, for the best the Mackmen could
do against DIxIp Dnvls was five hits.
Yesterday the double reverse was ap
palling. Both Rollle Navlor and our
best southpaw bet, Roy Mooro, were
defeated. Two biar innines. one in ench
game, when the Browns pelted the
sphere for four runs on each occasion,
tell the tnle. Even n hectic homer by
Joe Dugan failed to turn the tide in
the second contest.
Hats Off to Pefers
Jack Peters, of the Phillies, is eligible
to the home-run hitters' club. He proved
the right to have no blackballs placed
against him when he slammed one of
Adolpho Luquc's best bets within three
rows of Lohigh avenue in the ninth In
ning. Two were out and the bases were
as arid as is Thirteenth nnd Snnsom
streets these days when Mr. Peters made
his hectic clout. It was the knockout
wallop to a thrilling game and wns a
pleasant nftermnth to a weird first
i game. ilhur lluhoell was Hurling In
the form thnt makes him a feared
pitcher at times, nnd had his support
been nirtight In the first inning he
would hnve won without the need of a
ninth-inning homo run. He had much
the better of the hurling with Napier
and Luque. '
HInc.v Still Good
Eppn Rixey, once a home son, south
pnwed Ills wnv to nn ensy win in the
first set-to, making the Phils look fool
ish nt times with his change of pace.
George Smith had a little hard lurk J
early in the game, but he wns pelted
I rather livelv when hits meant runs. I
Delaware Walter Betts. after a long
rest after an operation from appendi
citis, twirled for two innings nnd did
well considering.
Chicago and Boston in the American
split even over the week-end, the White
Sox being drubbed 10 to 0, while yes
terday they came back nnd blunked the
Glensonites, 1 to 0.
The Boston Braves' winning streak
was burst in the first game of their
'louble-hender with the Cards on Snt
urdny. nftor it had reached eight. The
second contest, however, went to the
Mitrhmen, Jo, Oeschger doing the hurl
ing. The Cubs won twice nnd lost once In
the three games with the Brooklyn
Dodgers over the week-end.

Bundy, queen of American tennis In her
prime, wns playing nlmost ns well as
ever.
When Syic. Lenglen swings Into ac
tion over hero Mrs. Bundy may be our
last and ultimate hope. Mrs. Mollory,
Miss Byan and tho others have made
vnln nttempts to stand up before the
French whirlwind, nnd unless the onco
brilliant May Sutton can hold the lino
there Is no one else.
If the grcnt Cnllforninn can stop the
Marvelous Suzanne it will be the most
amazing triumph of the year.
The Two Greatest Heavyweights
rpiIE two heavyweights from ring his-
tory who hnve shown more stuff since
Sullivan's day than any one else am
Jeffries and Dempsey. Corbctt lost his
first hard fight after winning the cham
pionship. So did Fitz. But Jeffries
beat Fltz twice, Corbett twice, Sharkey
and every one else in sight.
Defnpsey has made quick work of all
opponents for three years. Stanley
Ketchgl lasted twelve rounds with Jack
Johnson and Tommy Burns fourteen.
Can any one imngine Kctchel nnd
Burns, weighing but n trifle more than
Curpentler, lasting that long agnlnst
Dempsey? Or Dempsey taking fifteen
rounds to knock out JeffricB In the
shnpo he was against Johnson?
FiU renched the heights only nftor
he had passed his prime, while Oorbett,
with all his Bpeed and rinp; craft, lacked
the ruggedncsft and punching power ot
Jeffries nnd Dempsey.
Willard, after winning the title, did
nothing to prove his greatness, center
ing his main attention upon circus life,
where the sawdust meant more to him
