A LOCD, noisy talker eventually Rets Sharkey gabbed so much that Jack give the public a rest. Now tho runner up to Sharkey for the talking championship Jack Kearns is gradually talking himself into obscurity in the sport world. Kearns was a sad picture at the ringside of the Sharkey-Pempsey clash as he tried to knock every one down getting a seat for which he didn't seem to have a check. The ushers and the police didn't care any more for the once-famous "Doc" than the public did after Kearns made those scathing attacks on Pempsey before he lost his title to Tunney.

Now Kearns is gradually falling out of sight as a person of any note ft himself into a lot of trouble. Jack i Pempsey hud to knock him out ago. one word from him and a dozen into print.

Rhem threatens to quit the team. lthem's contract specified a salary reduction if he broke training, and the hurler admits he was imbibing at Philadelphia recently, but he claims the main reason he is being "fined" is because of an involved automobile debt he o.ved the club. When Rhem signed a new contract this year, after holding out for more money, he asserts the Cardinal management agreed to forget the debt. Rhem said he was drinking at one Philadelphia soiree to protect rover Alexander who was being feted by friends.

"I took Alexander's drinks and drank them myself over an(j no one gives him a tumble. In other words.

Manager Jack Lelivelt of the admitted today as his team to Minneapolis to open a four-day stand at Nicollet park that Orwoll would be disposed of to the bidder before fall is at hand. Orwoll has made the best record of any young collegian that ever broke 'JZ.

Into the American association. Mil-iwaukee picked up the hitting pitcher last year and he made the grade at once. On the mound he has a record of nine victories and only two defeats. As a hitter, his mark is in the .390 neihborhood and has been all year. The New York Giants are quite to get the youngster, but the is so keen for the southpaw there's no telling who will land The chances seemed pretty good that Orwoll would draw the iUw'pitching assignment in the first Jjstruggle against the Millers this J.tifternoon as he has not worked since JJllast Sunday.

Neither Jack Lelivelt nor officials traveling with the Milwaukee team know what is going to happen to the Brewers. It seems to be a foregone conclusion that the franchise will be sold at the close of the season, but it's only a guess as to who would be the fortunate buyer. nmn a no rii i a hfjlbAbU rMLLo URTHER BEHIND IN TIGHT FIGHT aRCC Drops Fourth Straight Mound Duel to Vic Aldridge By I.F.S CON KLIN Now York.

Cincinnati's winning streak was practically ruined by Kent Greenfield of the Braves who has been winning with greater regularity than a phantom docker's three-star special ever since he escaped from the Mc-Graw influence.

The Braves won, 7 to 2, scoring all their runs in one inning. Ray Kblp started the second game and won, 5 to 2, allowing only five hits.

After Frisch's homer had tied the score in the ninth and Bell's homer had knotted the count again in the tenth, the Cardinals nosed out the Phillies in the eleventh, 9 to 8. The Cards' pennant chances suffered a staggering blow, however, when Flint Rhem, their star pitcher, quit the team after being fined $2,000 for breaking training rules.

We know Jack Kearns a little better than some folks. 'Years ago. he used to hang around Minneapolis with a couple of "ham and egg" fighters, barely ekeing out a living.

Along comes Jack Pempsey and develops into a million dollar champion for him. Of course, Kearns knew what to do with Jack when he firt started to come and must get quite a little credit for the beighths that Pempsey attained under him. However, to listen to the "doctor." one gets the erroneous impression that he not only made Pempsey, million dollar purses, but also Tex Rickard. He aetualfy made that last boast when he returned from England with Mickey Walker the day before the last scrap. But no one pays much attention to Kearns' ravings any more.

To begin with, the public has soured on him because he treated Jack so shabbily before the Tunney match. Now that Pempsey has come back without the aid of Kearns, "Doc's" feats of a few years ago are minimized more than they should be. Pempsey is a very fine chap. He doesn't want to trim any one nor does he wants to trim any one himself. If it came to the point of taking the Kearns-Pempsey financial troubles into courts and all their dealings, were tinfolded before a jury', the fighter probably would find that he was the on who has something coming rather than the former manager.

Pempsey doesn't want this. He's willing to pay his old pal $100,000 to call off all these court injunctions and the like. Kearns hasn't made a decision ona way or another. If "Doc" is smart, he'll eccept the fighter's proposition for Dempsey is the popular person now, not the talkative Kearns. is it A rabid fight bug phones us that he has a hunch that Dempsey will beat Tunney sure in September.

There are 100 for every one of those fellows who feels the opposite. But that's how Tex Rickard draws these miiliun dollar gates. it it -fr Leavitt all Enthused IT seems like old times around our office again with Leo Leavitt, manager of King Tut, racing in and out every da with a epistle telling what his boy Is going to do to Billy Tetroile next Tuesday night at the Hippodrome rink. "Petrolle will be the easiest man for Tut to beat he has ever met," Leo said by way of making his entrance to our office. "Petrolle is an overrated fighter.

Most of the boys he ha-s met of late have been scared to death before entering the ring. They say Petrolle Is tough, but so was Danny Kramer with whom Tut slugged it out. They don't make them any tougher than Poc Snell, yet Tut had him on the floor. "Another thing about this Petrolle person that we intend to square RHKM which leads many to believe it was an issue of no importance whatever. Now New York is consumed by fear that Rickurd will take his bat und ball and go away from here, denying thousands of respectable citizens the opportunity of paying $200 for a $50 ticket in the first 10 rows.

Something ousht to be done about it. Charles A. Stoneham, owner of the Giants, offers a simple solution. would turn the Polo grounds over to Mr. Rickard.

For the Firpo-Demp-sey fight there were close to 94,000 seats available at the Polo grounds. And at a $27.50 top the fight grossed $1,103,378. Mr. Stoneham suggests Rickard can get his $2,000,000 gate which he needs to pay off the fighters by simply doubling the old prices. Colonel Jake Ruppcrt, who operates the Yankee stadium which Rickard leases for big boxing shows, is supporting Mr.

Stonehnm's proposition just as heartily as the Anti-Saloon league is supporting Al Smith. A Financial Difference There is a little matter of financial difference between Rickard and Stoneham, arising from the Firpo-Dempsey thing, which Mr. Rickard doubtless would insist on being settled before moving his circus into the Polo grounds. Helen Jacobs Scores Another Net Victory Manchester-by-the-Sea, July 28. Miss Helen Jacobs, California tennis bud and victor over Mrs.

Molla B. Mallory, national women's champidn, eliminated another star in the Essex Country club's invitation tournament today when she defeated Miss Margaret Rlake, of Boston, in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, in the first semi-final round match. Miss Helen Wills, the California marvel, who matched with Mrs. J. Dallas Cor-biere, of Boston, in the other semifinal match.

The prospect being that Miss Wills would win and meet Miss Jacobs in the finals. Fat Malone managed to push bis season's record back to the .500 mark yesterday by his onesided victory oer Kansas City. He has won 12 and lost as many. Judging by the way he has been Tuesday night is Billy made the charge in Chicago after Tut couldn't fight hira because of sickness that my fighter ran out on him. Well, we'll see.

That's one reason why I took the St. Paul scrap for my boy." With that Leo took his snappy adieu for another day. His talk sounds Interesting. Petrolle seems to feel the Cities yesterday with some more comment on Mr. Tut.

It all goes to make a good fight. The fighting styles of Tut and Petrolle are made to order for a good scrap. With this personal feud between the give-and-take artists gTowlng hotter every minute, it look3 like a very enjoyable evening. WINDY CITY FOR BIG BOUT Injunctions Against Tilt Likely to Be Withdrawn Shortly Chicago, July 28. "It's Chicago's light." This was the first declaration of Tex Rickard, New York promoter, when he arrived here today from the east for a two-day conference with Chicagoans interested in bringing the Gene Tunney-Jack Dempsey return bout here.

Immediately after his arrival. Rickard went into conference with George K. Getz, millionaire Chicago coal operator, representing Chicago in the scramble for the fight. Rickard was elated when he learned that Attorney J. Kentner Elliott, who sought an injunction to prevent the fight, had declared he was not ieady for his court battle.

Elliott, in his plea, cited Dempsey's war record. Soldiers' field has been dedicated to World war hero dead. "I have received letters from many veterans asking that I withdraw the injunctions," Elliott stated. "I am taking the matter under considera-tin." "That's fine," Rickard said. "I am sure that wartime prejudices shouldn't hav any place In current times." The New York promoter refused to set a definite date for the bout but limited it to the time between Sept.

15 and 20. "I am enthusiastic over the possibilities offered in Chicago," Rickard said. "All I issk is reasonable and conservative obligations from the Chicago men. If Chicago wishes the fight, it can have it." Rickard refused to detail his plans until he receives advice from Getz, Edward J. Kelly, president of the, South park board, governing body of Soldiers' field stadium, proposed site of the fight, and other civic le'iders.

"Chicago is certainly the right city for the fight," Rickard continued. Has Good Facilities "I understand there will he a bankers' convention here about the time of the fight. That will help, too. Railroad facilities here are better than any place in the United States and should bring enough people to pack the stands." Soldiers' field, with additional seats placed on the ground, will seat approximately 140,000. Rickard said he hiid no time to dis-, cuss the prices he would charge for: the fight.

"All that will come later," he declared. President Kelly, after receipts of hundreds of letters beseeching him to allow the bout in Soldier' field, an-, nounced today he believed public) opinion favored the match. His final decision will be made after a conference with Rickard, he stated. RARTLKTT RAGS TITLE Des Moines, July 28.

He's getting a little too old to play centerfield and it's a cinch he can't displace it it it Those Cincinnati Reds are tearing along like mad in the National league race. Maybe they have forgotten what lime of the season it really is. it it Hornsby Has Lost Drive ONE of the big disappointments of our visit in the east was glimpses we had of the Great Rajah Hornsby himself. Having not seen him since the world series last year, we were badly disappointed in him on our 1927 look. Hornsby seems to have lost all the drive and fighting spirit that made him so popular in St.

Louis last year and also made possible that city's first modern world championship. In one game against the Cubs, he looked awfully bad. One tim, he missed a hit and run and the runner- on first was thrown out by 10 feet at second. Then he struck out on the next pitch. Another time, he tried to make a grandstand catch with his glove hand of a line drive.

It got away from him when he could have had it easily with both hands. That mlsplay gave the Cubs a start on what roved to be the winning rally. There were other things he did wrong. OSSIE ORWOLL This young Luther College graduate, who has been quite a pitcher in the American Association for two seasons of professional ball, is ticketed for a trip to the major leagues at the end of the present season, according to word Rrewer players and officials brought to Minneapolis today. TILDEN DENIES 25,000 OFFER Spikes Rumor He Will Turn Pro Plans European Tour Next Year Chicago.

July 2S. Bill Tilden threw a little light on his plans for the future in answer to persistent rumors that he would accept a $25,000 offer to turn professional. Tilden declared emphatically that he would not desert the amateur ranks and added that he is planning on another European tour next year. The offer was said to come from an eastern tennis club and caused considerable excitement among the ftallery at the Illinois state tournament. Tilden only played one match yesterday, pairing- with Sandy "Wiener of Philadelphia to defeat Gordon Braudt and TTrank O'Connell, 6-1, 6-2, in the doubles.

The run around preceding the gesture of locating the second Dempsey-Tunney. brawl took Tex Rickard to Chicago today where he will confer with a committee of business men appointed by Mayor Thompson to snare the big fight for midwestern production. Rack Saturday Tex will be back Saturday to listen to rebuttal testimony from New York "interests," which are presumably strongly opposed to this "back to the soil" movement. The proposition to stage the battle for a second time in the Sesquicen-tennial stadium seems to be cold. Apparently Philadelphia is out of the running.

The Chicago inducements no doubt will be impressively presented to Rickard. Here nd there a voice has been raised against lending the Soldiers' Memorail stadium there to a brutal prize fight, in which one of the principals has no war record, but Chicago, as a community, Vould like to see one of Mr. Rickard's leather carnivals. The patriots who are opposing Dempsey on old issues, may be appeased by the prospect ot Mr. Tunney, a soldier and.a gentleman, doing away with the uncouth Mr.

Dempsey for all time. At this time Chicago seems to be the favored spot. Tt is understood that Mr. George Getz, chairman of the Windy City go-getters, is prepared to offer Rickard the support of 700 Chicago millionaires. That may decide it.

Mr. Rickard is very roud of his 600 New York millionaires who rally to his box-offlces in all important fights here, but the item of 100 more millionaires on the Chicago end may count heav ily with him. He may even combine the two sets of millionaires by holding the fight in Chicago and showing up the western millionaires by having his original 600 millionaires attend the fight in a bejeweled body, making the trip on a gold-plated train. Chicago has never sent any official army of plutocrats to any New York fight. In that way Tex could get the money and show up Chicago at the same time.

An expedition of a thousand miles with Incidental expenses is easily managed by a millionaire. 40,000 Ringside Seats Another advantage is that 40,000 ringside seats can be placed in the Chicago arena and all will afford good views of the fight. Jn the last battle at the Yankee stadium Tex had to seat some more or less influential millionaires back of the tenth row and there were squawks. New York's great army of poor, who can afford nothing better than $5 or $10 seats, resents Rickard's threat to run out: They consider his retreat to Chicago as rank discrimination for they cannot afford the trip. The only compromise possible Is for Tex to double the prices charged for Dempsey and Sharkey and stay right here to accommodate the poor.

When the prices for the last fight were announced the populace revolted according to some authorities and the resultant ticket scandal was terrible. Nothing has been heard of George W. Scandal sine ethe fight i Al. 0. Olson Co.

Bohemian Hop-Flavored Jack O'Sullivan was not a party to these alleged low hits in not stopping the contest and giving the Boston'ian the award on a foul. While it is true that Dempsey's punches brought protests from the Sharkey Corner, also from Sharkey himself, as very often happens where a principal is taking punishment to the body, the Rostonian continued to fight and in no wise appeared to be injured or incapacitated in any way. Under these circumstances, while O'Sullivan owed it to all concerned to warn Dempsey to keep his punches up, also should have so acted, there was no reason why he should have stopped the contest and given the decision to Sharkey. The defeat of the Rostonian was not because he had been fouled and therefore so injured as to be unable to continue the battle, but because in the midst of a hot exchange with a dangerous puncher he deliberately, recklessly and carelessly dropped his guard. It was a move that Dempsey, based on years of experience had every reason to expect, a-s body punching usually brings the hands down and he took immediate advantage of the opening to crash his left to the jaw.

He's more fair mindrt about the matter than most of the critics who picked Sharkey and then tried to talk their way into such a victory despite the official result. Rrwillts Yesterday New York, 4 Ht. Louis, 1. Detroit. Philadelphia, 1.
