Smoke Rings
Hardly A Hope
By SAM RAGAN
An old dog might have all the answers but he’s usual
ly too slow in the repartee. Which might be construed to
say that age has the wisdom but needs youth to carry
it through.
So it is with Jack Dempsey—the old Manassas Maul
er who returns to the ring tonight to battle the villian of
the wrestling ring, Cowboy Luttrell, in a ten-round bout.
Dempsey, one of the greatest of the prizefighters, may
know more about fighting now than he ever did, but at
45 years he’s hardly able to put it into effect.
jusi laiK >
Talking about the former cham
pion coming back to try his hand
against Joe Louis is no more than
just talk. Dempsey might be en
tertaining some such fond notions,
but most people that know him
credit him with having better
sense.
Dempsey is almost a sure bet
to beat LuttreU tonight. The wrest
ler who has performed all over
this state once boxed, not very
well though, and when he couldn’t
make any headway there he turn
ed to grappling. The old Mauler
can still punch, most people be
lieve, and figure that he’ll be on
the long end of the fight tonight
inside of the sixth round.
The former champ hasn’t got the
stamina he once had and you’d
better not bet too heavily on his
being the great “white hope” in
the fistic world. ^
Close Ones
Play yesterday in the Cape Fear
association could hardly have been
any closer. Every game was won
by a one-point margin, pointing
out better than we could tell you
that the teams were very evenly
matched.
Only another game or two re
main in the first half schedule, and
it looks as if the Pepsi-Cola nine
has won itself another bunting.
They were first in the first half
last year and in the playoff with
Leland, the last half winners, they
won the season championship.
During the first half schedule,
play was fairly close throughout.
"However, we look for some re
versal of form in the second half
with some of the second division
Hubs coming to the forefront.
This and That
The pitching department of the
Boston Red Sox, just as everyone
expected, hasn’t held up under the
stress and strain of summer cam
paigning. . . And it looks as if the
slogan of the American league for
the remainder of the summer will
be “Beat the Bengals”. . . Pro
football teams are looking for ends
from one end of the country to the
other. . . The end is the most
sought after football player of
them all, it seems. . They are
still catching the big ones in dedp
sea fishing right now, but nearer
shore there aren’t any fish, so they
tell me. . , Fat Freddy Fitzsim
mons. the 39-year-old Dodger
pitcher, yesterday won his 199th
game and he expects to hang up
the 200th—the mark he has been
reaching for—by the end of the
week. 1

Pepsis Strengthen Hold In Cape Fear Loop
LEAl E LEADERS
B T BEARS, 4-3
Kappas Edge Out Crownmen,
7-6 In 11 Innings; A’s
And Purol Triumph
BY R. J. POWELL
Close scores featured play in the
Cape Fear loop yesterday after
noon. with the league-leading Pep
si-Colas tightening their grip on
first place with a 4 to 3 triumph
over the Leland Bears at Leland.
The Hi-Kappas were forced into
11 innings to edge out the Royal
Crownmen 7 to 6 and the Athletics
went 10 frames before beating the
Masonboro Ramblers 8-7. In the
other tilt of the day, Purol defeat
ed the cellar-dwelling J ackson-IJell
club 2 to 1 at Legion field.
Pitchers Duels
All of the contests were pitchers
duels with the Lefty Brew-Snag
Allen argument at Leland topping
the card. Brew struck out 18 and
allowed eight hits while the Pepsi
Cola mealticket fanned 13 and
granted only six safeties.
For the second straight game,
backstop Barefoot Burney Coving
ton led the PC’s at the plate, con
necting for three blows out of four
attempts. Batson followed with two
for four. Morris paced the home
club with a similar record. Pen
Clark was the Leland receiver.
Pieper Stars
Thirdbaseman Billy Pieper’3
eleventh inning single sent Leon
Thomas across the pan with the
run that beat the RCs. This hit
for the Hi-Kappas’ brilliant infield
er was his third for the day and
pushed his run-batted-in count up
to four for the afternoon.
Playing minus both regular
catchers, the Royal Crownmen got
away to a flying start with one
marker in the opening stanza, but
the home lads came back in the
next chapter to take the lead with
a four run spree accomplished on
three singles, catcher Joe Marki
ton’s error and a base on balls.
The RC’s kept pecking away at
the slants of Jim Bullock, on the
mound for the frat nine, Aid at
the sixth round the count was Hi
Kappas 5, Royal Crown, 4. The
Jamesmen went out in front with
a two run rally in the eighth, but
the fraternity men knotted the
score after two men were out in
the ninth to send the game into
the extra innings. The RC’s threw
away numerous chances to tally
in the overtime. In all, the Crown
men left 13 men stranded during
the course of the battle.
Hendrix Fans 14
> John Hendrix went the distance
for the losing outfit, issuing 10 base
knocks while whiffing 14 batters.
The RC’s touched Bullock for nine
hits and were granted 8 free pass
es to first base—a new high in this
department for the Hi-Kappa ace.
Gordon Hobbs was the frat nine
receiver and Markiton and Charles
Cherry worked behind the bat for
the Cola club. Lappy Williams,
holding the keystone position was
the outstanding man on the field
for the RC’s. Not only did the re
liable Williams lead his team with
the willow by slapping out three
telling blows in six attempts, but
he also starred on the defense,
handling seven chances without a
bobble. 1
In the ten inning affair at Robert
Strange, the SAC club overcame a
six run deficit in the seventh frame
to score their win over the Ramblers.
The A’s tallied five in the lucky
seventh and added two more in the
next round which enabled them to
pull away from the Ramblers who
had scored one in the first, fourth,
and fifth and three in the sixth. .The
Masonboro aggregation knotted the
score in the ninth but failed in the
tenth when the A’s put across the
winning marker.
Fletcher Piner pitched for the A’s
until the seventh when he was pull
ed in favor of Anderson, who fin
ished the game. Piner held the
Masonboro gang to 11 hits while his
mates pounded out 16 safeties off
Johnnie Carter on the slab for the
Ramblers. Carter struck out ten bat
ters.
Buck Tyre was the Masonboro
backstop and Batton and Piner shar
ed catching chores for the Athletics.
Batton led at the bat for the A’s
with four for five while Winn was
the leader for Masonboro with two
for two. First baseman Collie Rich,
for the A’s, turned in the fielding
gem of the day, a beautiful catch
of Todd’s line drive hit in the sec
ond frame.
Airtight Hurling
The airtight hurling of right
hander Headon Piner, plus Edgar
Vause’s booming bat gave the Pu
rol Bluebirds their well-earned win
over the scrappy Jackson Bell out
fit in the game at the stadium.
The JB’s got one man home in the
first inning, but for the remainder
of the contest, the durable Piner was
complete master of the situation,
fanning 13 and permitting seven
scattered hits. Meanwhile, Reese, on
the rubber for the surprisingly pep
py Printers, turned in a nifty per
formance himself, allowing only nine
knocks and holding the Bluebirds
helpless in every chapter except the
third and the eighth when they
scored all their runs. Vause’s triple,
his third hit out of four chances,
was the deciding factor in the Purol1
run-minting. Garnering two for
three, Reynolds and Shepard were
the leading batters for the tailenders.
The board of directors will hold
their regular Monday night session
tonight in the form of a fish supper
at Miss Janie Kirkham's Place on
Masonboro Sound starting at 8
o’clock. The cars will leave the
courthouse at 7:30 p. m., it was an

Manassas Mauler Returns To
Fistic Wars In 10-Round
Bout At Atlanta
ATLANTA, June 30 —(tf)— A
jovial Jack Dempsey stuffed on
Georgia peaches and barbecue and
smoked only four cigars today on
the eve of his feud fight with, that
bad man of wresting, Cowboy Lut
trell.
Twenty five pounds heavier than
lis old ring weight and 45 years
aid, the Manassas Mauler will see
tomorrow night how much remains
af his old ferocity, delicate timing
and first dynamite.
But Jack was enjoying himself
too much to take very seriously
questions about his designs on Joe
Louis and whether or not he thinks
be can duplicate the feat of the
aid master, Bob Fitzsimmons, who
same back after a seven-year lay
aff to whip some tough tones.
When the New York restau
rateur pulls on six-ounce gloves
lor a regulation ten-rounder to
morrow night it will be the first
time since he hung up the gloves
after King Levinsky decisioned
aim in 1932.
“Let’s wait until after this fight
and see how I feel before we
talk about Louis,” he said in his
machine-gun manner of speaking.
How about training for the
grudge bout with the Texas wrest
ler?
un yean, ne grinned. I got
a shave and a haircut and cut
Sown to two cigars a day. I’ll take
that guy in the first round. I’ve
been doing some road and gym
work with ‘Red’ herg and went
some with Godoy.
Jack and his protege second.
I. C. (Red) Burman and referee
Nat Fleisher wheeled down to the
Warm springs foundation hospital
Eor infantile paralysis today, dined
with the patients, and visited
President Roosevelt’s little White
House.
En route down by automobile
Tack called a halt at a bargecue
In to sample some “Gerogia pig.”
He tossed off two thick brown
meat sandwiches with a soft drink
and two hours later dined on soup,
salad, beef, green peas, French
fried potatoes and ice cream. Later
he munched half a dozen peaches
en route back.
At. Warm Springs before photo
graphers snapped a hundred bor
tures of him, he laughingly bor
rowed a young woman’s compact,
powdered his face for a “shave.”
At the foundation dinner he was
master of ceremonies and explain
ed to the patients that the grudge
with Luttrell resulted from the
wrestler bucking him duirng a
wrestling match he was refereeing.
“This fight is for ten rounds,”
he said, then grinned and added
wryly, “which is about four rounds
too” ••many—but it won’t last
but one.”'.;. 2

Galento Still Rules Slight
Favorite To Beat Max Baer
BY SID FEDER
JERSEY CITY, N. J., June 30
—W)—Without changing a single
line of the script—even to the plain
and fancy names they’ve been
calling each other—Tony Galento
and Max Baer today wound up
what passed for serious training
for their 15-round brawl in Roose
velt stadium here Tuesday.
Each cuffed a couple of sparring
partners around for a few rounds;
each predicted he was going to
"moider” the other "bum,” and
each went through his usual rou
tine of songs, gags and patter for
the entertainment of the few hun
dred customers who turned out to
the rival training camps.
Tomorrow, there’ll be the usual
light loosening up exercises and
then both will come charging into
Jersey City, and if you’re within
earshot, you’d better run for cover.
These are the co-holders of the
championship for talking great
fights, and are battling it out this
time to decide the king of the
clown clouters.
In spite of Baer’s vow that he’ll
"stab that overstuffed butter tub
silly in six rounds,” the betting
men weren’t convinced. These gen
tlemen, who can always see
around angles without turning their
heads when it comes to putting up
their own "cabbage,” were still
quoting Two-Ton favorite at odds
of just under 1 to 2. ,
There was no difference in the
odds on a knockout, for this is one
tea party the boys are convinced
can’t wind up “any way but.” In
fact, in most books it was no bet
ter than" 6 to 5 that either of the
garrulous gladiators could stand
up over the “derby route.”
With the Hospital for the Blind
cutting in on the proceeds, avail
able estimates indicated the crowd
would go over the 30,000-mark and
the gate would be $150,000.
Neither thinks he can lose.
While Baer figures it should take
him six rounds to “cut that water
melon up,” the keg-shaped bar
tender only wants half that dis
tance—“I’ll flatten peanut-heart in
free heats, no more,” he tells you
in a confidential whisper you can
only hear for two miles around.
This department thinks Baer is
about right in the distance, but
that Galento will be the little man
who is there at the finish. After
ward, the winner is to get Joe
Louis in September. Since each
has been mowed down by the
Brown Bomber’s cannon in the
past, the chances are they’ll have
as much fun as they can Tuesday
night.
BRADDOCK NOT CONSIDEREb
SUMMIT, N. J„ June 30—(A>l—
New Jersey Boxing Commissioner
Abe Greene announced today that
former heavyweight Champion
Jim Braddock would not be con
sidered for the post of referee in
next Tuesday’s fight between Max
Baer and Tony Galento in Jersey
City. Braddock won the champion
ship from Baer.
Greene explained that Braddock
is a licensed promoter in New Jer
sey and therefore could not be ac
cepted as a referee.
There will be no judges in the
field, Greene said. The referee will
be the sole official. 1
