Jack Renault Is Substituted for McAuliffe as Herman’s Opponent September 20 -© --— ^rirst Match JNot ilard Enough for Omaha Battler Renault Considered One of Four Best Heavies in Country Since Bren nan's Setback. Jack Renault, conqueror of Billy MIske, Fred Fulton and numerous other heavyweights, will box Tiny Herman In the main event of the American Legion's fistic program, to he given at the Auditorium Septem ber 20. Renault has been substituted for Jack McAuliffe II of Detroit when investigation of the latter's record convinced Legion officials and state boxing officials that the Detroiter was not “stiff enough” competition for Herman. Until Bill Brennan was mowed down by Luis Firpo recently, Renault played “second fiddle” to Brennan in the famoua Leo Flynn stable. With Brennan out of the game, Renault was given more and more chance to make good and responded by defeat ing every opponent set before him. Recently he shattered the hopes of Jack Johnson for a new negro cham pion by stopping George Godfrey, Johnson'* “black hope," in four rounds. The match between Herman and Renault was one of the elimination contests sought by Tex Rickard in an attempt to determine a new opponent for Jack Dempsey, if the champion defeats Firpo next Friday. Renault, since Brennan has been pushed to the back number class, is considered by many critics as one of the four best heavies in the game, ranking next to Dempsey, Gibbons and Firpo. ^gDespite the Increased expense of se 9 curing Renault as Herman's oppo nent, the bout will be presented at popular prices, with tickets going on sale Monday, announced Robert T. Burns, chairman of the Legion finance committee. Joie Ray Wins Brilliant Race in Gotham Meet Yankee Stadium, New York.

Polo Grounds Is a Sure Jinx for Some Champions Four Champions Have Lost Their Fistic Crowns in Baseball Stadium This Year. By RALPH WAGNER. NTERESTED fis tic gents who blink their eyes and wrinkle their foreheads when they hear the names of Dempsey and Fir po mentioned,, be 1 ie v e William Harrison Demp sey, sometimes called Jack, will be knocked flat ter than a res taurant pancake when he mingles with Senor Flrpo next Friday night before the fistic populace of one New York City and vicinity. Throwing "form.” on which most folks base their selections, to the sev en different winds and breezes, the superstitious insist a Firpo victory is in the cards. Why? Continue, dear reader. This Dempsey-Flrpo affair, which is causing considerable Interest among the hard-working men of this country, you know by this time, will be staged in the Polo Grounds in New York City. It will be the fifth leather-slinging affair for a fistic championship held in the baseball stadium this summer, and—a title changed mitts in each of the previous four contests. If the jinx which has caused the other champions who have fallen runs true to form Demp sey will, of course, be beaten by the hairy senor from below the equator. Johnny Kilhane, former boss of the featherweights, was the first title-holder to risk his health and scepter in a bout with an ambitious rhallunger at the Polo Grounds this year. ’TIs history that Jawn neg lected to duck Eugene Crlqul’s so porific right hooks and was knock ed into the ranks of the lias-beens., of fist Inna. Followed Jimmy Wilde, for many long years the king of the flyweights. Jymes tnet brown-skinned, sloe-eyed little Pancho Villa. He was chopped into a species of hamburger and bat tered to the floor by Villa, who, of course, became the champion. Then strolled along the gallant Crlqui to defend hln newljl won coronet against Johnny Dundee. The pooor little Frenchman was slaught ered. Dundee hammered and hacked away at him until Crlqul’s face be came nothing more than a crimson mask, so said the reports. Last week Johnny Wilson was out galloped by Harry Greb and the mid dleweight champion became the chnl lenger again, Greb leaving the ring with the crown on his dome. If you are superstitious you may be of the opinion that Dempsey will lose his championship next fish night. The fart that he Is de fending his laurels in the Polo Grounds where four title holders lost their erowns and on Friday night, hasn't changed our reason for regarding the coming imbroglio between Dempsey and Firpo with any great amount of fear. Demp sey's left hook is a greater asset than any rabbit’s foot, and at limes it has seemed that he surely must have another good lurk omen, a horseshoe concealed in his right glove. No, gents, all the champions In the world with the exception of Dempsey can lore their titles In New York If they so desire, but as far as Jack dropping his crown to dear little Luis next Friday night, well, we should say not. Nothing but a Demp sey victory looms up on the horizon for yours truly. Iowa City to Have ^ * a Strong Eleven Iowa City. Ia., Sept. 8.—Iowa City’s high school football team this year will Include almost an entirely new lineup, only four veterans re maining on the roster with which Coach H. C.

Cal., with 3 points was third; John Swolofs. of New York City, with 2 was fourth, and J. Boucicault of Missouri, with one counter was fifth. Dempsey Takes Enforced Rest as Rain Falls Kearns Orders Him to Stay Out of Water Soaked Ring for Fear of Cold. Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Sept. 8.— Jack Dempsey paced the floor of his training quarters today like a caged tiger. A heavy rainstorm kept the champion from going through his dally workout In preparation for his champpolnshlp bout with Luis Angel Firpo next Friday, and despite Demp sey's pleadings Jack Kearns, mana ger, refused to permit any athletics In the watersoaked ring adjoining the camp. Dempsey was disappointed even more than 650 picnickers who had come from Schnectady to see the champion In action. They had gath ered around ^he cottage on the bank of Saratoga lake and were all pre pared to watch a few rounds with the sparring partners. Dempsey has Just recovered from a severe cold which forced him to lay off work for a few days and his man ager felt that working in the rain on water-soaked canvas would produce no beneficial effects, Plays Game of Cards. Consequently. Dempsey settled down to a game of cards and later had a talk with Jimmy DeForest, who trained Firpo for his match with Jess Willard. Dempsey didn't say what he learned about the husky Ar gentinan, but there were few things he didn’t ask about. Some disappointment was expressed in camp today when it was learned that the Jamaica Kid and Jimmy De laney, Rt. Paul light heavyweight, who had been expected to arrive as sparring mates would be unable to show up. The Jamaica Kid notified Kearns that he was suffering from sore ribs as the result of a recent bout, while Delaney has an injured hand. Kearns said however, they were not badly needed as Dempsey was in prime condition. Jack Deyer, a former boxer and now a chiropractor of Canton. Ohio, has bfeen added to the staff. He will direct the massage artists a* they rub down the champion after his workouts. Flrpo's success in the boxing world has stimulated athletic interest in Ar gentina so much that it Is likely that the South American republic will enter a team In the next Olympic games.
