During his extended career In the majors, Groh always aimed to set a good example, and such men are credits to the sport. He knew his days In fast company had waned, but was delighted to help the Rues out when they were in need of a substitute.

During the tempestuous career of Han Johnson, disagreements between the two big organizations were not uncommon. At the time he formed the new loop, llan'g unflinching methods were necessary, for only a man of such aggressiveness could have won the battle. Hut since the two major leagues have operated so long under their binding agreement, the old methods are no longer regarded necessary and now with Kenesaw I.andis at the head of organized baseball and such men as Ilarnard and John Heyd-ler to complete the advisory council, the game should flour orders, and sales apencles over the city have sold out three and four allotments of tickets.

Stories emanating from Pitt that Booth anj Edwards may not be able to play Saturday afternoon are being taken with a grain of suit. It is believed here-that they will be at jheir posts on the kickoff and fit for the fray. The demand for tickets here continues strong ami there is a possibility that more may have to be brought here to satisfy the demand, beyond question of doubt is the greatest the history of the annual clash between the rivals.

Only light work ill be attempted and the ieam will leave tomorrow night for tho Flood Cit y. The strength of the St. Francis team Is fully realiz-d by the Duquesne mentors, for the Saints defeated both P.ethany and Westminster, and although the Pluffmen likewise took the measure of the latter tea'-, they were held to a 7 to 7 tie by the pisons.

It was by the margin of a field goal that St. Francis conquered both the above rivals, and since Huff Donnelli also scored three points In this manner against Westminster, drop kick (Contir.urd From Pace Sixtrcn) take none of the punching. Yet. in view of the transformation of Mickey Walker, this Kearns must be considered. He is doing with Walker what he did with Dempsey, doing; with him what Mason did with Greb.

So, with Walker bouncing- out of his corner like the Dempsey of old, and Dempsey, in new hands, sliding out of his chair and trying; to box, the contrast brings the much despised Kearns very much into the picture.

The answer itself i3 the best evidence that no matter how he may be regarded now, this Kearns had something- to do with Dempsey 's success, climb to the title and uninterrupted reigm as champion. Which may also be the answer as to why some fighters have managers and what kind of managers they have. It is a far cry from WilJard, Firpo and Car-pentier to the ag-ed and almost senile McTig-ue. But the same style is there and with that style the emphatic first-round knockouts, of which Mr. Dempsey had 26 in the first round while with Kearns and has not won one by the same style, or any other, since he left him.
