35,000 CHEER FOR CRIQUI IN DEFEAT By DAVIS' J. WALSH I. N. S. Sports Editor. NEW YORK, July 27.—The French ran at the Marne, but they ran forward and last night at the Polo Grounds before a crowd of 35,000, Eugene Criqui, left eye out, his face swollen to the proportions of a generous pumpkin and torn jaw sagging along the wound he sustained at Verdun, stepped heartlessly into as pitless a beating as ever a man received in a championship fight. Johnny Dundee was awarded the formality of a decision at the end of 15 bloody rounds and thereby became featherweight champion of the world, but the real hero, the man they cheered and ultimately held in something approaching reverence, was the loser, not the winner. Seemingly, every barber, boot-black, bus boy and bartender in town, a typical and extremely partial Dundee crowd, was there and it made its sentiment quite clear by boo-ing the Frenchman too no reason at all as he entered the ring. But America is land that laid its foundation upon the lust of strength and stark gameness had its instant and clamorous appeal. As the men left the ring Dundee—the real hero, debonair, jubilant, and unmarked, was acclaimed with no more sincerity than Criqui, the vanquished. In the years to come, the Frenchman's gallant defense of his all-to-recent title will go down in the records as one of the most inspiring witnesses in a modern ring. Dundee won by a margin as wide as they roiled reaches of the Atlantic He scored one knockdown in the first round, two in the second and needed but a single punch to bring his man down with definite finality as the bell sounded in the fifteenth, ending the fight. The announcement that Johnny Dundee had become champion of the world was less than a formality. So was the presentation of Criqui, his face a bloody ruin and mute tragedy staring from his eyes, as "one of the gamest guys that ever held a Baseball Standings W. L. Pct.

THIS IS ANOTHER STUDE REPORT HONG KONG SWEPT BY TYPHOON SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.—Cables received by the Chinese World here today reported that Hong Kong, one of the principal Chinese ports, had been swept by a typhoon. The brief cables stated that several piers had been severely damaged by the typhoon and shipping had suffered.

WIFE OF TRUSTEE CAN'T BE TEACHER SACRAMENTO, July 27.—Citing a school law prohibiting a board of trustees from employing a teacher in whom one of the trustees is "personally interested," Sam H.

SARGUM SPROUTINGS (By Sargum Sprout) In a communication to the writer Louis "Bull" Muntana wishes to answer some of the challenges Roy Mahee hurled at the honorable "Bull" several months ago. At the time of Roy's challenges, the "Bull" was tied by a moving picture contract, but the contract has been fulfilled and "Bull" can now wrestle when he so desires. "Bull" wants it to be known that he bars no one. Roy Maybe not excepted. In fact, Roy's challenges have sorta riled the "Bull" and he is very anxious to meet the Orange grower. "Bull" does not use a lot of well garnished phrases and high-brow words. He merely says: "I am willing to wrestle Roy Mabee anytime, any place. Guarantee me $250 or 35 per cent of gate." would be by far the most spectacular match Anaheim fans ever witnessed. For the sake of a great evening's entertainment lot us hope the match is arranged. Tex Rickard gave out the statement that both Jack Kearns, Jack Dempsey's manager and Louis Firpo had signed articles for a title match to take place in the near future in or near New York. The fans do not care about the red tape of signing articles and all that junk, what they want is to see the fight. Firpo deserves a crack at the champ and the fans demand it. If Dempsey goes into the ring with Firpo, it will be the first time he has entered a ring since he became champion that his crown is in any serious danger. Firpo stands a very tions. HARDING TRANSPORT HITS CONVOY IN FOG (Continued From Page One) States navy in the first rank cannot be charged to foreign influence, the president said, but is directly chargeable against us. The president's address to the Press club was brief and devoted mostly to his declarations on the naval review but he also talked "shop" a bit. The complete text follows: "When our transport brot us to your great harbor this morning, we passed the Pacific Fleet to give review. Ours was an impressive view and a very reassuring one. Within the memory of men who are still in active service, our navy once defiant of any power on the sea, had become inconsequential that there was none to do it homage. We were as humble with our armed forces on the seas as we were pittable with our merchant marine. Today we saw the Pacific fleet indicating a naval power not second or third or eighth or tenth but equal to the first in all the world. Moreover, it is covenanted in international honor that our navy shall retain that first rank and any failures at retention must be charged to ourselves because the world has deliberately acknowledged the righteousness of our position. I make this reference because our navy is our first line of defense. It is the armed shield bears upon which we depend to ward off the war which we mean in our hearts never to provoke. Perhaps the day may come—I would speed it all I could—when nations will employ no armed formes. Until such a day does come, we shall find our assurance in our navy of first rank. We were building two years ago at a rate that would have placed our armed power in excess of any other power but in conviction that armament cost and competition was leading to menacing national burdens we invited an international conference to fix similar." by a moving picture contract, but the contract has been fulfilled and "Bull" can now wrestle when he so desires. "Bull" wants it to be known that he bars no one. Roy Maybe not excepted. In fact, Roy's challenges have sorta riled the "Bull" and he is very anxious to meet the Orange grower. "Bull" does not use a lot of well garnished phrases and high-brow words. He merely says: "I am willing to wrestle Roy Mabee anytime, any place. Guarantee me $250 or 35 per cent of gate." Roy has retired, so he says, but this challenge of the "Bull" is liable to bring Roy out for a come back. Roy has been working hard on his orange grove and would only need a little while to get back in top condition. He has not had a match for several months, but he takes wonderful care of himself and could jump out on the mat and give anyone a good tussle right off the bat. "Bull" is in wonderful condition and his great strength would call forth all of Roy's speed and cunning to master. A Montaha-Mabee match Tex Rickard gave out the statement that both Jack Kearns, Jack Dempsey's manager and Louis Firpo had signed articles for a title match to take place in the near future in or near New York. The fans do not care about the red tape of signing articles and all that junk, what they want is to see the fight. Firpo deserves a crack at the champ and the fans demand it. If Dempsey does go into the ring with Firpo, it will be the first time he has entered a ring since he became champion that his crown is in any serious danger. Firpo stands a very good chance of knocking Jack from under his crown. The Sacramento ball fans are getting all excited over their baseball team. They are organizing and raising a purse to be given the Solon players if the pennant is brought home to Sacramento. Lew Tendler still has hopes of having a champion in the family. A nine pound boy has come to the Tendler home and bids fair of-being a better man than his dad.
