WELL, NOW FOR DEMPSEY BOUT WITHJHNSON Negro's Return to United States Starts Fight Fans Over Country Talking v Title Bout. By RAY PEARSON Boxing: fans of this country and perhaps other countries as well have something; new to interest them, something that they can chew over for the nex year cr so. It concerns a heavyweight championship bout, a contest that may or may not bring tin: titleholder. Jack Dempsey, into action. It is made possible by the sudden return to the United States ot the seven-year, fugitive trom justice, Jack Johnson, who formerly held the crown and lost it to Jess Willard at Havana. There are many angles to any proposition that would result, in Jack Dempsey a'nd Jack Johnson squaring off in the ring. There are perhaps quite a number of followers of this game who believe that the negro, at present incarcerated in an Illinois jail awaiting the time when he must serve out the year's sentence handed him before he hastily departed from America a bit more thajfr seven years ago, has a chance of defeating Dempsey. But there are a lot more who don't think that Johnson would have a "China man's chance" against Salt Lake Jack. A Few Questions. Even with it quite possible that this fight may never take place there are many things to be considered wlicn one argues over this proposed contest. Here are a few of them: Will Champion Jack Dempsey draw the color line and for that reason refuse to box JohnsonT Is there a promoter in the United States who thinks well enough of a contest between Dempsey and Johnson tooffer lerms that wotild , satisfy botlf fighters? v'ill the boxing fans of the coun try pay their money to watch a con test between a white and a cblored, man? Is Jack Johnson, now 42 years old, still able to get himself in con dition for a fight against a man of Dempsey's caliber? Those are just a few questions that will be argued pro and con for the next year. Taking the first ques tion, whether or not the champion will fight a colored man, it cannot be answered here, because it is a question that Dempsey hasn't an swered since he knocked out Jess Willard and became the champion .one year ago. The writer does not believe that Dempsey would refuse to fight Johnson or any other black man if he found that public senti ment demanded such a battle. .. ' Dempsey Might Fight. i There have been white champions of the past who drew the color line, partly because they were opposed to boxing colored men; but the princi pal reason behind such refusals was that these titleholders feared the re sult. With Dempsey it is different, and any one who knows Dempsey will agree that if Dempsey refuses to meet Johnson it will not be be cause he fears the negro. No chafn pion ever was so strongly imbued with the belief that he can whip every other man, be he white or Mack, as, this same Dempsey. Un-. doubtedly Dempsey would fight Johnson in a minute if he. found out that it was expected of him and if suitable terms were offered. With that offered as a solution of he first question, -one jumps to the second, which concerns the pro moters. Will the promoters find there is a demand from the public that would insure a "fat" gate for a battle between Dempsey and John son ? Bout Long Way Off. Since a contest cannot be defi nitely scheduled until something like a year has' passed, because it is quite possible the government will firmly insist that the negro serve the sentence of a year which was imposed on him when he jumped his bond and fled from America. Johnson will then be 43 years old, an age far past that at which fight ers are supposed to be able to hold thcir own in the ring. Now, thetv.LGraw is inclined to believe that the we ask, where is the promoter who would match Dempsey, who will then be 26 years old. against this 43-year-old negro? That's a tough i one, so write yournvn answer, Mr. Fan. Few of those who are supposed to know pugilism believe that Johnson could get himself. into condition to fight for the championship. The negro says he is better than he ever was, which will be doubted by near ly everybody, for no one believes that Johnson at 43 years could lick Jack Dempsey. Fans Strange People. As for the fans attending such a contest that's another matter again. - Boxing fans are surely strange peo ple. They'd probably be at the ring- side in flocks to see Dempsey and Johnson scrap if some promoter managed - to get them together.,! T hey d go just Decause u was la beled a fight, whether or nof it was a fight, and they'd shell out their jackto be ringsiders. v Olympic Track Meet to Be Run Off7 Aug. 15-23 The Antwerp Olympic track and field games will begin at 9 o'clock in ihe morning and continuenntil 5 in the afternoon August 15 to 23.

When the American Olympic team arrives at Antwerp for the 1920 Olympiad 14 of Amer ica's champion women- swimmers ana divers will be among-'em. Miss Ethelda Bleibtrey of Brook lyn, N. Y., i hailed as the greatest water woman the world has ever seen, heads the" delegation of nymphs that will atrive for honors in Bel gium. Commencing competition about two years ago. this Flatbush girl has left a trail of shattered rec ords behind her wherever she has entered in aquatic events. . She has never been beaten n a scratch race, in which she actually hnished. And in the last year she has won the national SO, 100, 220 and 500-yard, half-mile and mile cham pionships in the backstroke. With such a record there was not the slightest hesitation on the part of the committee as to Miss Bleibtrey's nomination and acceptance. The Brooklyn" girl has shattered world's records and substituted ones of her own making at 100 meters and at .WO meters, and from all indications her record-breaking streak is going is healthily as the slugging streak of Babe Ruth, showing no signs of SWAT MALADY IS ENIGMA TO LEAGUE HEADS McGraw, Prexy John and Others Puzzled Over Epi demic of Terrific Hit ting This Year. - What is the secret of the epidem ic of terrific hitting that has swept over the major leagues this year? Is. it the result of the new pitching rules, or have the manufacturers turned out a livelier ball than has ever before been used? .. The question has been argued pro and con by baseball men, but it is not definitely settled, for no one has advanced a satisfactory solution to it. As a matter of fact, the season is not quite old enough to blame the hitting epidemic on the new pitch ing ruies, for with the coming of tor rid weather the heavies will get bet ter control and will put more stuff on-the spheroid. Heydler Puzzled. President John Heydler, of the Na tional league, and Prexy Ban John son of the American, both agree that the ball seems livelier. John Mc- abolition of the use of resin, which gave pitchjers a better grip on the ball in past years, is the secret. Thomas Shibe, vice president of the Athletics and a member of a firm that manufacturers 6ase balls, strings along with McGraw. According to Shibe, the specifica tions under which the official base ball used in the American league have been manufactured this year are the same as have been in use for some time. The same cork center, wool, rubber and horsehide are being put into the ball. A few oldtimers who have per formed autopsic? on baseballs hit into the stands declare there is more rubber in the 1920 ball, but others are inclined to believe that the raw I materials are merely of better quai- , T I. , 1 . .

McGraw Explains. v In upholding his contention that the new pitchitig rules are to blame John McGraw points out that the best pitchers in both leagues are getting treated roughly week in and week out. "The new pitching rules are too drastic," said McGraw recently. "In my opinion the rule which prevents '.he pitchers from using resin on heir fingers in order to remove thj gloss from the cover of the ball is l.irgely responsible for the fact that they are not getting as much stuff on it, and the strict enforcement of the rule has been a big handicap. I've alwavs likd good hitting and -always will, but personally I do. not believe that the average baseball Ian wants to see slugging that results in scores running into double'figurei on both sides. So far this season 'here has been too much slugging Joo many home runs. And the fan who enjoys the scientific game is being denied the chance to witness it because of a sort of 'go as you please' style of Haying. I think the rules should be amended immedi ately." An.

She has proven invincible in all her contests and has not even had dangerous competition from anyone save her . teammate, Miss Boyle. In the recently-held tryouts Miss Bleibtrey entered two. events and shattered existing records in both. In the 300 she set a new world's rec ord of 4m. 31 l-5s., a mark' that should stand for years to come. She also set a world's mark for the 100 meters of 4 m. 12 3-Ss. that is just as immovable.

With the signing of Pitcher Joe Jaeger, Mana ger Mitchell of the Chicago Nation als, hopes to have the only real underhand pitcher in the National league next season. There is not a single underhand twirler in the league, that style of pitching having become extinct when Erskine Mayer, formerly of the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh lubs, passed out of the ranks. Mitchell regards Jaeger, an over seas veteran, who recently received his discharge trom the army, as a real "find." Mitchell declares he never saw a pitcher start a ball as slow as Jaeger. He nearly touches the ground with his hand before he delivers the ball. His curve ball takes a peculiar upward shoot, like his fast one, as he pitches with ter rific speed. Jaeger has not much professional experience but . Manager Mitchell regards hirn as the most promising prospect in years. He is built along the lines of Grover Alexander, is just as tall and pitches with the same speed as the big Nebraskan. Before entering the army Jaeger pitched for independent clubs around St. Cloud, Minn., his home. He pitched several games while over seas.

When she appears :n front of the august assemblage of the crowned heads of .Europe ,at Antwerp there is bound to be some laughter because of the smallness of her stature, but when her diving ?.nd swimming ability, is comprehended those who came to laugh will re main to cheer. Miss Helen Wainwright, who had the distinction of defeating every woman diver of note in the United States recently at the fancyi diving tryouts, will represent the V. S. A. in Belgium. Little Helen is everal months older than Eileen Higgin and is but a few inches taller. The pair should make a tremendous im pression on the dignitaries on the ether side on their spunk alone, for both have never been known to quail at diving from any height or into any kind of water. Mrs. Frances Cowells Schroth, the Pacific coast champion, was also placed on the team by the commit tee. Mrs. Schroth has had a very difficult time in the west in finding competition. In her own words, she loafs through races because She is not hard-pressed. Her sudden form reversal in the tryout was due to the fact that for the first time she se cured some better competition and was entirely upset by the cjiange. NEW YORK MECCA FOR PUGILSTIC STARS THIS FALL Famous Ringsters to Be Seen In Action in Gotham This ' Fall and Winter Fans - Are Assured. Professional boxing will be boom ing in New York by next fall. With-' the game restored to good standing through the medium of the Walker bill and the creation of the state boxing commission soon tot be accomplished by. Governor Smith, fisticuffs will be the rage here, along with Babe Ruth . and Man o' War. The metropolis, with boxing in full swing again, will be the Mecca for the best performers in the coun try. Benny Leonard will soon re turn to his native health in Harlem, and Jack Dempsey will be seen on Broadway pretty regularly. The heavyweight champion recently no tified friends here that he intended to cross the continent on a bee line for Gotham as soon as he could ar range business matters on the coast. Johnny Kilbane, Fete Herman, J.-.ck Britton and Johnny Wilson, the new middleweight champion, vill be in demand' for bouts here just as soon as licenses are issued to clubs, and al! the topnotchers h: the various divisions will be clamoring for bouts over the de cision route. The reinstatement of boxing here has acted as a magnet on boxers r.cross the water, too. Joe Beckett, who refused to meet Tom Gibbons and Frank Moran in England, will probably lead a procession of Eng lish and French boxers to'this coun try next fall. Beckett has already completed plans to visit America, and it is likely that Bomb Wells will come over also. Some of the big bouts in prospect for Gotham fans are these: Jack Dempsey against Georges Carpentier or one of the likeliest heavyweight aspirants. Benny Leonard against Lew Tendler. Jack Britton against Ted Lewis. Johnny Wilson against Mike O'Dowd. in a return match. Pete Herman against' Pal Moore. Johnny Kilbane against Young Chaney. U. S. Should Win .

COLLEGES SHIFT COACHES IN HOPE OF BIG SEASON v Gridiron i Director Shunted Around to Various" Schools Chic Harley to Stay at Ohio State. That a successful college athletic year is anticipated at all universi ties and colleges is shown by the manner in which the coaching staffs at the various institutions are being strengthened. Activity will not start until the middle Of next month, but the members already are plan ring for what promises to be a busy year. One of the most important changes in the western conference has taken place at Northwestern rniversity. Charley Bachman, who was in charge of the gridiron situa tion last vear. has been succeeded by Elmer McDeavitt, a former Yah player who was assistant to Ired Murphy when the latter guided Purple foot ball fortunes. Hark Back to McCornack. A foot ball coach at Northwest ern has been more or less of an ex periment for years. In fact, many believe Wallie McCornack, the old Dartmouth coach, was the best mkntor who ever attempted to 'de velop an 11 at the Methodist insti tution. McCornack was of the driv ing type of coach who had the taculty of putting his ideas into ex ecution by forceful language. Dur ing the two years he was in charge Northwestern was represented by powerful elevens. Just what success McDeavitt will have remain to be seen. He has one of the hardest schedules of any earn in the conference. On Octo ber 9 Northwestern will meet Min nesota at Evanston. McDeavitt has not much of ? line on his players, while Coach Williams will have one of the strongest teams .which has represented' Minnesota in recent years. In addition to opening with a formidable opponent, the Purple is slated to met Notre' Dame in the closing combat. Known as Line Coach. When he' was assistant to Mur phy, McDeavitt coached the line. In those years the Purple forwards, outweighed on several occasions. held their own with opponents of ability., Whether McDeavitt com bines the happy faculty of coaching the backfield and the line remains to be seen and in his ability to do both rests Northwestern's chance of success. Bachman, however, did well at Northwestern. The breaks of the game went against him in important struggles, but his ability was recog nized by the Kansas Aggies. Charley has signed a contract to coach foot ball at Manhattan this year and if Will Delight You If you seek the ideal roadster, for business or professional purposes, or for added efficiency to your every-day activities, or for healthful recreation, you will be delighted with the Cleveland Six. Mounted on a chassis of proven excellence, this Handsome roadster body, with its one wide deep-cushioned seat, carries three pas sengers til genuine comforf. And under the rear deck is a spacious compartment for baggage or parcels. In its graceful lines, heavy hand-buffed leather upholstery and Lincoln 1732-38 "O" Street he makes good will have a perma nent berth. Harley Assistant at Ohio. Chick Harley, who led the Ohio State eleven last year in a success ful season, will be assistant to Jack Wilce at Columbus. Although he received several offers to handle foot ball squads at other institutions, Harley elected to spend a few years with his alma mater in order to absorb a few ideas of imparting his foot ball knowledge to others. The former Buckeye leader was a smart foot ball player, but like other well known performers may not pos sess the faculty to teach the game. Harley has had plenty of oppor tunities todiscern the faults in the men who will be eligible for this year's team, and he should be a great help to the head coach. In addition to his knowledge of foot ball, Harley will handle the kickers. He was one of the leading punters and field goal kickers in th west last year, and was the unanimous choice of critics for a backfield po sition on the All-American team. v Jones at Lake Forest Ralph Jones, who has 'coached basket ball at Illinois since 1912, has severed his connection .with the downstage institution to take over the athletic directorship of Lake LForest academy. In addition to his knowledge of the floor game, Jones knows foot ball and base ball. He handled the freshman gridiron and diamond tcams-t Illinois and was Zrppke's leading scout in foot ball. Jones will certainly bolster ath letics at the academy, which has been more or less of a lesser light in the western prep athletic world for years. He will have the power to engage coaches for various branches of sport, but will personally direct the fortunes of the basket ball squad, atid may take an active -part in the development of the foot ball team. Meanwell Back at Wisconsin. Another important f coaching change will take place at Wisconsin. Dr. W. E. Meanwell, a former Badg er mentor, who had been athletic di rector at Missouri, will return to the Madison institution to coach basket ball. Dr. Meanwell is - considered one of the best basket ball men in the country, and during the time he was at Wisconsin developed cham pionship fives. In the east the most important change has taken place at Yale, where Tad Jones will again take over a foot ball situation.. Dr. Al Sharpe will continue as athletic director, but the responsibility of turning ouf a foot ball team will be up to Jones. 300-Mile Endurance Race . For Horses Oct. 11-15 The 300-mile endurance race "for horses, from Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., to Camp Devens, Mass., will take place October 11 to 15. Hahn to Coach Ann Arbor, Mich., July 31. Archie Hahn, former track star at the Uni versity of Michigan, and a member of two American Olympic teams, is the latest addition to Michigan's staff of coaches. Hahn will assist Steve Farrell, Michigan's track oach, and will also train the foot ball squad. While an undergrad uate, Hahn ran the 100-yard dash in 0:094-5. .

YANKS TOUTEQ AS CHAMPIONS BY GQTHAMITES Bambino Has ''"Made" the Team New Yorkers Are ", Already Talking About World Series There. 4 Yankee fans are talking about tfie American league pennant and the world's series of 1920. Ever since the Yanks got going, with the pitchers doing their share and "murderers', row," headed by v Babe Ruth," slugging all kinds of pitching to all points of the com pass, Gothamites have been indulg ing in sweet dreams. And not with out reason. Can Certainly Hit. Miller Huggins' outfit is blessed with a tremendous amount of rug- fed hitting and pitching ability. In hawkey, Mogridge, Quinitf Mays, Thormahlen, Shore and Russell they have a staff of wigglers who can or should hold their own with any in the league. But best of all is the Yankee hitting, than which there is no better in either league. In past years Yankee teams have often blown up on the road, or suf fered injuries to players that broke " up a winning batting order and gave the old jinx an opportunity to get in -his deadly work. Long before the season opened in fact, ever since Ruth became a member of the team the Yanks were figured as sure pennant con tenders. But they got away to a rather poor start and in the first twG weeks of the race they did not begin to play up to their "paper strength." Are Going Great. Today, however, the Yanks have apparently found themselves. They have managed to put up a pretty sweet fielding game despite the fact that Manager Huggins has been fftrCpH tn chift te4 1 i .1 An r, t mtml.aii of times. But Frank Baker isn't greatly missed, and' while Chick Fewster at. his best would probably be playing second bases in place of Del Pratt, the Yanks are getting by in grand shape. Babe Ruth has "made" the team. The Big Bambino just simply loves to play baseball and he is putting everything he has into every game. True, he goes up there and swings for home runs when it might some- . times be considered better base ball to wait 'em out or play 'em down. But there's no argument that will stand against the performances of such a prolific slugger, and there you arel "Watch the Yanks from now on," is the tip that is going the rounds. And it is a sensible tip, for although no one expects to see New York spread-eagle the field in the Jiome stretch toward Pennantville, there are plenty 'of folks who are willing to risk the family plate on New York's chances of getting into the . 1920 world's series through the me dium of Clan Huggins. .
