Milwaukee Fans
Account For Big
Attendance Boost
NEW YORK (IP! Milwaukee’s
enthusiasm for major league base
ball accountes for an 11 per cent
increase in National League at
tendance this season but the Ameri
can League’s fanancial books are
taking a bath in red ink.
Thft Braves, who drew only 110,
403 fans in their first 21 dates in
Boston last season, have averaged
an. amazing 25,036 for the same
number of dates in Milwaukee this
year. •
Although the Philadelphia Phil
lies and Bt. Louis Cardinals also
show individual gains, the entire
league shows an increase of only
290,796, So, except for the Braves’
transfer, the National League also
probably would show a decrease.
The figures compiled by the Unit
ed Press revealed that all eight
teams of the American League (me

80’s.
Defending champion Moore was
the odds-on favorite to retain the
title he wrested from Maxim by
a decision last December when the
two battled in St. Louis.
Rumors that Maxim was having
trouble making the 175-pound limit
★ere dispelled by his sparring part
ners, who reported he had been
near the limit for several days.
Moore, who seldome has had weight
difficulties, was under the limit
several days ago.
Locally, Moore, who is 35, was
only an 8-5 favorite although out
side this area he rated a 3-1 edge
over Maxim, who is A 3l.
Knockout victories were predict
ed by both managers, Charley
Johnson for Moore and Jack
Kearns for Maxim.
A secret weapon wa-s to provide
the trick for Maxim, according to
Kearns. Maxim, a normally light
puncher but a clever boxer, has
been working out behind locked
doors forth 6 past week.
Moore admitted Maxim was a
fine boxer but thought, he would
knock him out about midway in
the fight.
' The winner may get a shot at
heavyweight champion Rocky Mar
ciano. possibly next summer, ac
cording to the International Boxing
Club.
Ogden was in a festive mood.
This is Utah’s first chamnionshio
fight and the town is crowded with
fight-goers. Hotel reservations were
snapped up long ago.
Each fighter has been guaran
teed $25,000 or 30 per cent of the
gate, plus 15 per cent of the *50.000
from the telecast.

Mrs. Reid Ross
Meets With Club
Miss Bell Hockaday’s bridge club
met with her Thursday night at
her home on Main Street, with
Mrs. C. Reid Ross of Fayetteville,
a former member of the Delta
Decks, as guest.
Mixed summer flowers were used
in the hail and living robm where
bridge was enjoyed. During pro
gressions Miss Hockaday served her
guests punch and nuts and at the
end of play, a congealed salad with
cheese crisps, cookies and iced tea
were served.
Mrs. B. C. O’Quinn was winner
of high score prize, and Mrs. An
dy Jackson received prize for low
score. The hostess presented Mrs
Ross with a gift.
Guests were Mrs. Neill Salmon,
iM rt C. R. Ammons, Mitt Leo
Kelly, Mrs. W. B. Hunter, Mrs.
B. C. O’Quinn, Mrs. Andy Jackson,
and Mrs. C. Reid Ross of Fay
etteville.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Stewart and

weekend here with their mother,
Mrs. L. F. Stewart. Mrs. Stewart
returned with them to Goldsboro
and will remain for a few days.
es Archie Moore defend the light- s
heavyweight crown against Joey ]
Maxim at Ogden, Utah, there is a
suspicion that he still will be the 1
best man on the scene.
It is a feeling which the years i
haven’t dimmed, and probably nev- i
er will. i
Because-at 58, Dempsey still is
a hagic name in the world of 1
sports, and even beyond. To those :
who saw him, he was ever the
best. To those who never saw him, 1
he still is a living legend of all i
that a fighting man should be.
Like the fans, time has treated
the champ with almost reverential
kindness. For the Dempsey of to- i
day is a hlghly-successful blsinsss- :
man, healthy, wealty and a lot i
wiser than in the old days.
There have been reports through
the years that his road was rocky.
But Dempsey has two apartment
houses In Santa Monida, Calif., i
where he makes his home; has
several remunerative annuities, oil
interests in Texas, a “piece” of the
New York restaurant bearing his
name and lucrative television and
radio commitments for West Coast
btewlng interests.
-Life has been good to him, he’ll
tell you, for Dempsey remembers
vividly the days when he was a
bearded, cinder-covered hobo rid
ing the jrods out of his notive Man
assa, Celo. His big days were ahead
& he (clawed out an existence as
'i miner, bouncer and tank-town
fighter.
which explains why, when he I
was launched on his ring career,
he was a rough-and-tumble killer
who Inflamed the imagination.
It was Dempsey and his man
slaughter methods which mads the
fight game. To him goes the credit
for taking the sport out of the
bams and smoky back rooms, for
his were the fists which made the
million dollar gate.
And even now they recall his
storied battles as epics: The mad
assault on the giant Jess Willard;
the furious melee with Luis Angel
Firpo, and tho.se two fights with
Gene Tunney In which Dempsey
made more friends in defeat than
he ever had in victory.
Yes, It’s been a long time since
they saw him weaving and crouch
ing in the ring. But, even though
he’s 58, they still remember him
—and probably always will..
Father Mac
Pitches A Win
Father Francis McCarthy pitched
the Veterans of Foreign Wars soft
ball team to a 6 to 4 victory over
the Jaycees team in the second
game of a double header held last
night. However, losing pitcher, Joe
Young, kept the victors to she runs,
three of these unearned in the
sixth inning. A drop fly gave the
Jaycees an unearned run In the
seventh.
Billy Wade hit best for the vic
tors. with a triple and a single in
four trips to the bat. Parker hit
a homer fer the losing Jaycee team.
In the first game the Indepen
dents trounced the Johnson Cotton
Company team by a score of 19 to
0. Skinny Ennis pitched for the
winners and SpeU was the losing
pitcher.
Skinny Ennis is in 10s second
year of pitching without a single
loss. Dave Matthews topped the
hitting with ono single, two doubles
and one heme run.
Although the score appears a hit
lopsided, the game was fast and
was eonchufM In an hour. Both
teams played excellent ball.
