BASEBALL BOXING SPORTS DEMPSEY-FIRPO GO MAY NOT BE HELD NEW YORK, July 30—In spite of announcements to the contrary it develops that the Dempsey-Firpo enterprise may not be held at the Polo Grounds—or elsewhere—on September 14. Mr. Rickard, it was said, overlooked the fact that, owing to the proposed change in his base of operations, it will be necessary to apply for a new license at the boxing commission meeting tomorrow and it is said on semi-reliable authority that the application will be tabled. The commission is believed to have become unfavorable toward Rickard and would like nothing better than to have some other promoter fail heir to the Firpo business. An indication of this attitude is found in the promise that the commission would waive its rule, naming $25 as the top price for tickets in the event that a promoter other than Rickard can line up the Dempsey and Harry Wills match. Another angle that may rebound to Rickard's disadvantage is the threat of Paddy Mullins, the negro's manager, to go before the commission and protest any action that can give Firpo the first shot at Dempsey. It is said that Mullins has been given the benefit of some backstairs gossip, which has led him to believe that a protest at this time will not be out of order. All of which means that Dempsey will fight neither Firpo nor Wills this fall. The committee has in private statements, declared Dempsey and Wills taboo in this state, and if it fails to grant Rickard a license for PUGILIST INJURED (By International News Service) COLUMBUS, Ind., July 30.—John Davis was instantly killed and William Carter was probably fatally injured when the automobile in which they were riding, was struck near here today by a Pennsylvania train. The driver of the machine, Joe Walters, a pugilist, was severely injured. His brother, Isaac, received internal injuries, which are expected to prove fatal.

LOCAL BASEBALL SLUGGER In an unintended Anaheim second time League. In no pitcher's battle day, both Harry Hughes were barred field. Four fights by the local league kept them runs. Harris was single man who was relieved to retire before triple to right loaded and Ashton took his home club his motion, and in every innings. Damage did again yesterday riffically. He infield once we been drawn lined ped one over. Even Captain into the home noble cap bags, it meant and handsome Lewis, hit once only negotiated considered goal. Henry Tip came in for yesterday. That was never in early picks where coyotes The score: Mon Maloney, ss manager, to go before the commission and protest any action that can give Firpo the first shot at Dempsey. It is said that Mullins has been given the benefit of some backstairs gossip, which has led him to believe that a protest at this time will not be out of order. All of which means that Dempsey will fight neither Firpo nor Wills this fall. The committee has in private statements, declared Dempsey and Wills taboo in this state, and if it fails to grant Rickard a license for the Polo Grounds, promoters would face the strenuous and very harried business of signing Dempsey and Firpo before cold weather sets in. The improbability of this is made quite clear when it is realized that Rickard has the foresight to hand-guff Firpo, legally and he would be a tough citizen for another promoter to handle. Boyle's Thirty Acres is Rickard's only "out" if the commission fails him tomorrow. It is not a very encouraging prospect, Jersey authorities being what they are. Tagging All the Bases Alphonso Luque, who is not the worst pitcher in baseball, made a personal matter of beating the Braves, 2 to 1, not only pitching fine ball but producing the winning run for the Reds with a triple in the eighth. The Yanks and White Sox battled to an even break, the Sox winning the first 3 to 2, and losing the second 8 to 2, aided by the sensational work of Babe Ruth. Two homers from the bat of Cy Williams, with some on base, gave the Phillies six to two decisions over the Reds. William's smashes brot his total home runs up to 27 for the season. The Giants made merry at the expense of Kaufman, Domovitch and Shell, and romped into a 15 to 3 victory over the Cubs. RATNER FAVORITE LONDON, July 30.

Calif. Elks League. In marked contrast to the pitchers' battle of the previous Sunday, both Harris of the visitors and Harry Hughes for the home club were barted to all corners of the field. Four fast double plays started by the local Bills' keystone combination kept the visitors from more runs. Harris was unable to retire a single man in the first inning and was relieved by Corpe, who managed to retire before Bush uncorked a triple to right field with the bases loaded and after Hughes singled, Ashton took up the burden. It took the home club three innings to solve his motion, after which they scored in every inning. Ramage did some noble stlekwork again yesterday, banging the ball terrifically. He crossed the Monrovia infield once when, after they had been drawn in for a bunt, he dropped one over their heads. Even Captain Buster Callan got into the home run column. When the noble captain can surround the bags, it means the ball was sent far and handsome. The old veteran, Puy Lewis, hit one just as far, but could only negotiate second, which was considered good for him. Henry Tipton, the groundkeeper, came in for warm commendation yesterday. The high school field was never in better shape, particularly the pitcher's and catcher's stations where clay had been placed. The score: Monrovia Arcadia AB R. H. PO. A. E.

Jack says he knows he is matched with Luis Pirpo, the wild man of the Argentine, but he wasn't giving out anything on the details. Jack said he didn't know anything about the match and wouldn't until he heard from Mr. Kearns. "I don't know how much training I'll do for the Pirpo match and I don't care where I will train. Perhaps I'll stay in Denver a couple of weeks. However, all of this is up to Mr. Kearns," the champion stated. MAJOR LEAGUE HITTERS AMERICAN LEAGUE G AB R H Pet. Hellmn, D 83 304 69 122 .401 Ruth, N.

Fred Siegel as Bill Bartlett, the leading man in the play and Flanney Wheeler, who played opposite to him, were a decidedly interesting pair in the drunklessly hilarious second act. It must have been a temporary shock to the good people who attended to see a scene of the sort on a Sunday evening, but the play was expected to teach a moral, and did. Jack Wheeler, Blanney's husband, was played by William Brewer, Mrs. Bartlett by Ruth Siegel. Philip Evans, the easy going "villian" of the triangle by Ceil Drummond, Tessie the maid by Zoe Bates, and Harriet Chick and Tot De-Wolf.

Two sports writers of Spokane today are busily explaining why they didn't obtain the inside story of the Tom Gibbons-Dempsey battle at Shelby, July 4. Tommy Gibbons is here this week at a local theater and a trip to the Gibbons quarters is necessary to secure a personal interview all because the "meeting" yesterday turned out to be a baby clinic. Gibbons took the two sport writers and their wives and three children to the Gibbons suite in a hotel where Mrs. Gibbons and the four little Gibbons were romping around. After two hours of discussing baby maladies, the care and feeding of the little ones, during which time all "scoops" were unthought of a call came from the theater requesting Tommy to put in his appearance post haste all of which broke up the happy party of six parents and seven "kids" and it means a "business" trip will be taken by the Spokane newspapermen today. warranted, "The Divorce Question" which teaches a moral against divorce and the dope evil, would be put on. The entire performance lasted more than three hours and included an hour of moving pictures, with Bert Lytell in "The Face Between" as the feature. RICHFIELD BEATS SANTA RITA, 12 TO 7 Sweet is revenge; Richfield yesterday defeated Santa Rita No. 1 14 to 8. Santa Rita is the team that defeated Richfield 12 to 7 on May 27. The first man up for the visiting team scored. They scored again in the second and third innings, altho Richfield didn't put a man across until the third. In the seventh, Santa Rita was ah-ad 5 to 5. Then, in the eighth Richfield went wild when Bleecker cared up and hit a single. Ventura followed with a single. Brown rapped out a three-bagger. Selaya singled. Bantillo smacked out a home run. When there were two more on bases, Reyes made another home run. Richfield made nine runs in this frame. Vaeramonte fanned five men in four innings he pitched for Richfield while Bleecker fanned six in four innings he pitched. Score by innings: S.
