NEW YORK WANTS BOUT Business Men Bring Pressure on Politicians to Assure Match.

New York, Aug S. Ons tnor about-face and everything win In order for Jack Lempy anil Gen Tunney to fight It out for the heavy, weight champlonahlp at Yutik Stadium, Septembyt 14. All that Is Jlecessary Is for Colonel John Jyrhelan and Celontl D. Walker Vifur to discover thit there Is no reason why they should not grant Jack and Gene llcensn to ply their trade tn New Yori state. Dempsey and Tunney will be It the offices of the state athletic com-mission Tuesday morning to npptf In person for their licenses.

Jamn A. Farlev, chairman of the board, wilf be there to see that thi- don't get them, while his associates, William K. Muldoon and GeorK Ilrower, will be exerting their in fluence In the fighters' favor. Won't Let "out Go. Colonel Phelan has said that will not grant Dempsey a llcenas as long aa the champion wants to light any one except narry wills.

Hut Colonel I'helan has been In camp for a fortnight with the tstti regiment, and presumably, si a goes, soldier, tie has learned how to ei. ecute the order: "About face!" From a source close to the powers that be In boxing it was leurni-J that the heavyweight championship bout will not be permitted to leavs New York. Pressure Is being brought to hear from all sides upon Col. I'helan and Col. Wear, ho comprise the license committee.

The hotel men dint want to see the bout get away; rwr do a lot of other New Yorkers who can make money out of It. Dundee Face Taak, Johnny Dundee, grand old man of the ring, come back agtiinst one of the leading lightweight contenders on Friday night at the Coney Inland stadium. I'lill McGraw his been assigned as the one to thwart Johnny In hi return to the A tough Job they picked out for the old man. The two Loaysa battles established McOraw's reputa tion as one of tne best. So, the old man has not picked out a soft one to begin with.

But whenever did he pick out soft ones? Never In all his career. Even when he went Into the sticks barnstorming Dundee told them to trot out tne hardest nans tney couia pro duce. Dundee fought the best that the big town afforded. He fought Leonard at least 10 times. He fought Jackson, Tendler and the hardest hitters of his day.

Here he bobbing up serenely, as If nothing had ever happened. A great war rior, perhaps the most remarket)! of all tune. Monroe, Aug. 8. New Tork Cent rals of Adrian, defeated Monroe.

Regardless of how they perform over the balance ot th schedule, it Is probable that the Tigers will finish neither in first place nor the cellar, but that same group of athletes possess the faculties for making tail-enders look like champions or champions like cellar occupants. Against the Red Sox and Athletics, the Bengals looked Ilk a bunch of third rate sandlotters and there was little Improvement in their work against the Nationals. Then along came the rampaging Yanks after a great stand both at home and on the road, and in the first two games of the series they have been made to look like anything but potential champions.

It Is doubtful If Lefty Grove, with all his stuff, ever made a ball perform th tricks en route to the plate that Whitehill exercised over the pellet In Sunday's game. Getting an even dozen batters of the slugging tendencies of the Yanks on strike, and six of them hitting from the right side of the plate, is a pitching feat that seldom has been matched at Navin field. Whitehill got' Koenlg twice. Paschal twice. Combs.

Gehrig, Ruth, Laszerl, Dugan, Collin. Hoyt and W'Brd or every man who appeared In the Yankees' starting lineup wltn the exception of Severeld. Behind the splendid hurling performance of the southpaw, the Tigers played sparkling ball In the field, only one Inglorious error by O'Rourko when he heaved Thomas' simple chance to the aland, and Tavener's slip in the ninth, marring an otherwise perfect defense. O'Rourke, however, atoned at least In part for his poor aim, hy punching out three hits In four trips. It la not often that a batsman scores on a single before the ball Is returned to the pitchers' box, but that Is what Gehrlnger did In the seventh.

,11 hit cleanly to right and Fnschal heaved the ball wide to Dugan. Jumping Jo recovered the ball an then threw it to center field trying to flag Gehrlnger going to second and the Tiger second baseman romped all the way home before Combs could get the leather back to the Infield. I'aschal's home run was a low drive that sailed on a line over the stockade In left. It cleared the wall only by two feet but there was a lot of power 'behind the blow, 1'othurglll hit one almost as hard in the iirst inning In the same direction but it crashed up against the wall and, Into the overflow crowd for two bases. Tavener provided the best fielding play of the game when he came In fast to scoop up Koonig's slow roller in the and throw out the batter without straightening up.

Ruth's first hit of the game was a double that Gehrlnger managed to partially knock down, the ball rolling slowly toward center Held ami the Lube beat the throw to second. a picked up a 'ew points In his quest tor the batting leadership In punching out a double and single in five trips to ihe plate while Kothergill got a double In four aoDeur- ances. Ruth gained on both with his double and single in three attempts. So good was Whitehill' pitching that Ins inner defense hftd comparatively llttlo to do, only eight aa-siata being divided between Tavener Gehrlnger and O'Rourke. Neun also had an easy day for the same reason, Bassler being credited with 12 putouta, or one lea than double beside the first baseman name In the box score.

Rave the liners nmrc runs than the However, woum nave oeen niincicnt VVhitchill was complete master of the Yankees with the exception of a single inning, when they scored two earned runs, the result of a double by Ruth and I'aschal's home run, which were coupled in the fourth.
