In tact, so sure were the officials of the meet that Powell would win, that they offered a handsome silver bread tray for first prise because Powell had evidenced a nerd for such a utensil. Th# contest proved rather dull and lackluster to the large gallery, and w'as characterized hy the careful play of both contestants.

P').’< »Y IwrT-l FtATimc SUWI Bni».n / Winsor Thinks He Has Man to Take Dempsey T,os Angeles, July 22.—Fred AVIn sor, former manager of Jark Demp sey anil leading Pacific coast fight manager, believes he has found a rral contender for Dempsey's heavy weight crown. He is Jack McCann, North Dakota wheat .linger anil cowboy. McCann is 20 years old. weighs I Kit pounds anil stands six feet. He’s of straight Irish descent. Strangely enough McCann striking ly resembles Dempsey. He has the champion’s dark hair, eyes and his general faeial contour. Winsor reports that McCann has bad three hoots on the coast and won them nil. One of his fights was against At Hoag, who, Winsor claims, has beaten Floyd Johnson, the Cali fornia heavyweight. AVInsor believes that McCann has the makings of a champion, lie does not think he will cotne to the front in a few weeks, but hopes to have him battling the best heavies in the country within two years. Tba California manager should know something of the requirements of a champion. Once h» managed Dempsey and shortly after .Ini k Kearns succeeded him as Dempsey's director, AVInsor and Dempsey ex changed socks In an Impromptu bat tie. "I know wliat Dempsey can do, foi I fought him once myself," Wlnsoi said the other day, describing th, encounter which took place in i dressing rnm at Dreamland arena •San FVancIsco. AVInsor and Dempsey had quarreled and later they engaged in a fistir row In the dressing room According to AVInsor, he hacked Dempsey into a clothes closet, and when he hail the champion, then a youth, well Into the closet so ho could not swing, AVInsor started to fling his arms and gave Dempsey a good pommeling. Then he hurried from the arena, and kept out of Dempeey'i way until the past was forgiven and the two became friends again. Team Nominations Matlr for Play in Davis Cup New York. July 21.—Team norain a tione were made today at the office# of the United States Lawn Tenni? association for the Australian Chinn American sons Davit cup tie, which will be played on the court* of 1h« Crescent A. C., Brooklyn. July 31 tc August 2. The Australian nomlna tions are Gerald U. Patterson, rap tain, Pat O'Hara Wood.

It 1* understood that Captains Pal terson and Wei will he the lead #»fl men In the sing!#'* matches and that Patteraon and Wood will compose th# Australian doubles against the othei Chinese player*. Gene Turney Doped to Put End to Georges Carpentiers American Career ‘ KW YORK. July 21.— It should l>e curtains for Georges Garpen tier, the soldier l>oxer of France, in the 15 round decision bout with Gene Tunney at the Polo grounds here next Thurs day unless the promoter* pull another Sara h H e r n h ardt for the Frenchman. There is only one mor e fight left In Gai pent lei'* sys tem—with Mike M* Tlgue over In dear old Gun non or Paree—but not In this country. Gene Tunney 1* growing heavy— probably from the lack of sufficient fighting—and it won't, help him anv to get down to 175 pound* for next week’s bout. During his entire ring • areer he has fought only one good man—Harry Greb—and the Pitts hurgher found the A. K. F. champion tough picking*. If he was difficult for Greb, it i* hard to see where the Frenchman gets off. If the bout Is fought on It* merits, Garpentler won't even come dose to a decision. Tun ney probably won't stow him a wav alt hough he ought to—for he ha* only a fair kick, but It was good enough to knock out Krminto Spalla. If Tunney follow* his usual cam paign plans. It will be an awful bout to watch. The American light heavy weight champion Is anything but an aggressive fighter. lie is fairly fast and clever, but decidedly cautious. Car pen tier, in his Gibbons bout, also played the waiting gam** If some body doesn't take the aggressive, the bout promises to become a shadow boxing exhibition. Press agents are working overtime boosting the affair. They have to. if a. paying crowd is to he (h ummed up. They are even placing the American light heavyweight title at stake. How* Carpentier, a native and citlaen of France, can lift that championship Is a mystery. Georges, himself, has nothing to claim. Of course, he main tains the* attitude that he is still the worlds champion, hut the fact cannot Ik* gainsaid that Siki took the title from him and then passed It along to McTigue. .McTigue, by the way. hasn't l»cen very busy defending it since, and is being groomed to meet Carpentier later on. Kvidently he Isn't afraid of the Frenchman, but It would creat# a rather |»e< uli.it situa tion If Georges beat him and again ruled as the champion. Tunney probably will engage Tom my Gibbons and McTigue and then graduate into the heavyweight class —if he doesn’t before, lie weighted 181 pounds In the Spa I la lH>ut and is finding the 175 limit rather tight. The Gibbons bout is practically settled. McTigue hasn't been cornered .vet. Don't be surprised, however, if they are touting Tunney for a bout with Jack Dempsey somewhere around early summer next yettr. WESTERN LEAL I E. \miif mill rluh. (i. AH. K. H. I*rt.

The dapper Mister Shea is after lioxlng bout* to referee, ao if you want a fight ref. eree, just get In touch with one of the best “third man" who has ever jumped inside a ring. Sliea believes that Omaha will be the scene of many Interesting fights tfiis coming fall and winter. Leo says that the fighters and managers of the east have heard great tales of how good a fight town this city is and want to show their meal tick ets in Omaha. When you stop and think of all the fighters who have battled before Omaha fans it is no wonder all the padded mitt performers of the coun try want to come to this city. Take for Instance Dave Shade. Dave has fought in Omaha more than any other outsider. What Shade drew down for flghllng 10-rdund bools In the Auditorium mounts up Into the thousands of dollars. Dave has fought four fialita jn Omaha and for these four battles the clever California wel terweight has carted off something like tl0,009. No wonder all the fighters in the country want to show their wares in an Omaha ring. .IOK HORAN PCMSHEH READ HARO; SOLD TO CHAMPIONS. IF you were a baseball player and had to he punished would you mind receiving your punishment in the form of being sold to th« New York Yankees Just about the time that team was ready to grab off an other American league pennant? Joe "Shag” Horan, former lies Moines Western league player, was punished hy the Reading club of the International league hy being sold, together with Al Manianz, pitcher, to the world's champion baseball team. Horan hit the ball al a .411 clip while in the Western. That's why he was sold to Reading. Horan, who Is leading the Inter national league—or rather, who was —took a 10 days' leav* of absence from Heading and his club Imme diately sold him to the New York Yankre*. COMPARN HI IIDE1 DEE TO SCOTT OF TEN* I EARS AGO I'^UKDEHIOK O. I.leb. president of H the Baseball Writers' association wilting In (he August number of the Baseball, lists two former Western league players who have ' made good" In I he big show this season. They are Dudley, last year Tulsa shortstop who Is with the Red Sox, and Kmll Yde former Oklahoma City pitcher, now with the Dilates. In fnirms* to Oklahoma tit) we want to correct Mr. deb's statement in which he says Emil Yde went to llic l*irntes from Omaha. It was Jack Holland of Oklahoma City who sent Emil to Ike Pittsburgh chib. Mr. i.leb has the following to say of Dudley I.ee: l.e« lacks batting skill, hut may acqulra it later on. in many re speeds he reminds one of Everett Scott when the present Yankee short slop first came up with the Red Bux 10 years ago. ''Scotty'' was only a .222 hitler when he came into the league, hut he Improved himself suf ficiently to get his average up • round 2CU, '•|/ee has many of the mannerisms of Scott, his way of scooping In balls and getting Ills throws off to first. Despite his low hatting average, I aw has been of Inestimable worth to Hie Boston club, and it la my opinion that Dudley will rank aa one of the irack youngsters of 1924 after some of the players now listed shove him in the batting averages arc forgotten." WASHINGTON SENATORS STII.I, < I.IN'GING CLOSE TO FIRST. THOSE Washington Senators still have their heads up fighting for Sir Tru* the Yankee* and Tigera (op them in the standings, hut the world champs haven't got a lead that you might call safe. Neither has Detroit. A pennant in Washington would h» a novelty, while in New York ll would Just bp a repetition of 192.1 and the year previous. A flag is worth something to Clark Griffith. It is worth spending several thousand on. A good buy or two right now might put the Senators over, who knows. Washington rrrenlly bought Ralph Miller from Reading of the Interna tional league and a couple of hush leaguers to make the final spurt with. The Yankees bought Joe Horan, hardest hitter In the minors, and Al Maniatix, a classy pitiher to finish tip with. The Senators .have a good chance to cop, but New tork. with its large |mm ketbool, and liberal itollr) of s|M-ndlng. still Is I lie favorite.

A month ago fandom In the metropolis was sketptica! of hav ing another such series In Manhat tan, but the way the (Jlants and Yankees are forging to the front bids fulr to again make this result a pas nihility If not a probability. The (Hants today are In a better position to cop the bunting In the National league 'than they were a month ago. They have gradually forged ahead at the expense of the eastern teams, while the Cubs, due to Injuries to their stars, have fallen by the wayside and have not been able to stand the pace set by the Me Grawites. The hardest part of the schedule is now on the boards. For the next six weeks there will be no “easy pick ings" for eilher the Giants or Yan kees. They both will meet sterner op position in Ihe continuous series with the western clubs and must play their liardent if they are to maintain their lead. If each team can muster surfieient strength to overcome the opposition in the west, then the re sult will not be in doubt. So far Ihe Giants have played as consistently against jhe western clubs as they have against the east erners. They have increased their ad vantage and hold a good lead over the t’ubs. The I’irates. however, are coming along fast and undoubtrtdly will yet cause the Giants some worri ■unit before the season is over. The t ubs recently have been losing more than a contending team should, and this has lessened their rhanres ol finishes ahead of the Giants. In th<> American league the Sena tors and Tigers srs giving the Yan kees all the trouble a championship team has to contend wllh. For a time Ihe Senators swept into 11 he lead and held It for several days. The team, s young one, with several seasoned stars, played snappv hall, and there were visions that for the first time a pennant would unfurl itself In the nation's capital. Then there were several sethark* but the team Is still playing A-l hall and per sistently knocking at the Y’ankee'a door.-Thts also Is true of the Tigers. They. also, have hurled the Yankees, only to drop hock again, but not so far In the rear that a short spurt would not carry them forward. It Is these two teams the Yankees will have to fear. The Yankres will find more stern opposition in playing the AVhite Hoi, Tigers, Indians and Browns than they would have In meeting the Athletics apd Red Sox. In tlirse east-west series the Tigers look to have the best of the schedule. They have a grand opportunity of I lettering their standing, and Ty Cobli has Ids warriors playing the same brand of ball as Ty himself dis penses. Cobh Is getting belter pitching snd better trnm work than he did earlier In the season. The White Hot also are sprucing op and will be heard of as Ihe season advances. All In all. the only team that ap pears out of It In tha American league pennant race !« the Athletics. They seem doomed for the cellar again. In the National league It looks as If the drive to the wire will he between four teams—the (Hwnts. Cubs. Dodg ert snd Pirate* PANCHO VILLA WINS FROM WOODS Boston.
