BASEBALL BOXING SPORTS COULD SELL 200,000 TICKETS FOR BOUT By DAVIS J. WALSH (I. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Aug. 24—Regardless of whether the fight is to be a fight or a trace, opinion differing on this point, the Dempsey-Pirpo enterprise seems destined to be a sell-out, even at this premature moment. "I could sell 200,000 tickets if I had that number of seats," Tex Rickard, the promoter, declared today. Just why this should be so Mr. Rickard neglects to explain. He will tell you it is the reward of downright merit; that the bout is of such appeal he couldn't keep them out with a shotgun. Yet Mr. Rickard could go out on Broadway and get as much as 6 to 1 against Mr. Pirpo's chances of beating Dempsey. Such odds are not flattering to Pirpo as a challenger or to Rickard as a promotor. This would seem to indicate that the latter had stubbed a mental toe by tieing himself up with a match that the public would stay away from in droves. The facts are otherwise. A man of undoubted influence with Rickard some days ago aired the idea of placing an order for $650 worth of tickets in the first ten rows. He was informed that, by the merest whimsy of fate, he could have two tickets in the tenth row. The next would be back in the 31st. Lincoln was quite right. You may not be able to fool all of the people all of the time, merely about $0,000 of them. We mention this figure because it represents the estimated capacity of the Polo Grounds on the night of the Dempsey-Pirpo bout. Once a customer, always a customer. The customer figures and not without justification, that a man of We journeyed up to see Old Sam Langford in action. We went early to avoid the rush and found that about fifty million others had done the same thing. We got within about sixty feet of the gate and failed to make our yardage tho we tried everything from a center rush to an aerial attack. We could hear forty-five hundred inside yelling to bring on Sam and there were five thousand outside voicing their ideas of a promoter trying to stage Sam Langford in a chicken coop. Sam had three or four thousand brothers or near kind who were sorely disappointed at not seeing the "Tar Baby" in action. There was money on the outside, there was money on the inside, which proves the popularity of Sam Langford. On our way back we stopped in and reviewed Jack Doyle's new arena. All that has been said of the magnificence of the place is not over-drawn. It is certainly wonderful place. There was a large force of carpenters and painters working last night and the night and day shifts will keep steadily working to have the palace in readiness for a grand opening next Tuesday evening. Joe Benjamin and Phil Salvador will be the head liners for the first big show. These boys are about the best of their weight in the U. S. A. and are expected to start the new fight palace off with a sensational bout. It is too bad that ten round bouts are not permissible in this state. If ten round fights were on top of the new arena we could entertain the nation's best championship bouts. AWAIT WORTH TIA JUAN SAN DIEGO, Dempsey and Hart brot to Tia Juana bolt if it is posite Coffroth to sign me. This was the an president of the Jockey club here to his departure for Natoga. "I expect to zero cermed next week Jim." "If my friend ready to get down am prepared to drive would like to stage Juana Oct. 1, two giving."

We mention this figure because it represents the estimated capacity of the Polo Grounds on the night of the Dempsey-Pirpo bout. Once a customer, always a customer. The customer figures and not without justification, that a man of Pirpo's size and hitting ability always has a chance. He, the customer, wants to be there to see him, the challenger, make the most of it. Failing in this, the customer will then be able to indulge in the ghoulish pleasure incidental to watching a tremendous, hairy, berserk superman knocked for a Latin semicolon. Anyway it would be too good to miss. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE University of Southern California: Sept. 29, Calif. Institute of Technology, Bovard field. Oct. 6, Pomona College, L. A. Coliseum.

It is the first time that we can remember of that both teams were so low in the percentage column. Los Angeles has given three games on the Bengals this week so far. Los Angeles is having one of her good playing spells. About ever so often the Angels get together and play real ball for a week or two, then slump back into about the worst ever Bill Essick is trying to play ball with an aggregation of very ordinary ball-players and no pitching staff. Jakle May, Bill Essick's pitching staff, needs more rest than he gets. Some days Jakle is up to last year's form, while others he looks rotten. Bill can not get the vinegar into his players. They lack the pepper of the past years. Next season will see many new faces on both Los Angeles and Vernon clubs. MARINER WINS SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24.—The yacht Mariner arrived here at 9:30 o'clock today, winning its race from Honolulu against several other entries.

Mr. Coffroth said, and await only the fighters' contracts to be set in full motion. Tagging All the Bases The Giants broke a dinastrous losing streak by defeating the Cardinals 8 to 7 in the first half of a double-header, but dropped the second 7 to 4.

HUNDREDS OF WILD ANIMALS IN DRAMA A great number of wild animals native of Africa have been used in "The Red Trail," playing at the United Theatre tonight and Saturday. To make this picture 20 lions were used in addition to a number of tigers, elephants and lesser animals, including monkeys, serpents, etc., which are found in the jungles of Africa. To give the picture its true atmosphere it was actually taken in Africa and a number of the natives of that country were used in the village and hunt scenes. It is evident from a view of the picture that these are the real native African aboriginals that have all of the marks that are characteristic of the native African. A story that takes itself through the jungles and that demands the use of these ferocious wild beasts has been written by Leslie Mason and a most interesting entertainment is the result of this combination of romance, drama and adventure for a stray of love is entwined throughout the whole thrilling picture. It is a picture for the whole family. The young and old will all enjoy it. On the same program will be Harold Lloyd in one of his funniest effusions, "Never Touched Me."
