ft . CINCINNATI DOWNED IN OPENING BATTLE WITH BROOKLYNITES BROOKLYN, Aug. 4. Burleigh Grimes and his spit-ball defeated Cin cinnati in the opening game with Brooklyn Thursday, 4 to 0. The Reds got but five safe hits off the offerings of the veteran. Eppa Rixey started oa the hill for Moran's men, but he was hit oppor tunely, especially in the second frame. Wheat fanned. Myers singled to sec ond and Schmandt walked. Andy High scored them both with a long line drive to right center for three bases. High scored on Miller's long fly to Burns. Grimes had the ball working flnfc for the afternoon's bill and had the Cinci batters eating out of his hand. The ball would break downward and the result was that the Redlegs could hit nothing but infield grounders. All i in all, the Dodgers had 20 assists, showing that the Reds were not hitting out of the infield. The Reds started out to score in the second inning. Olson muffed Fonse ca's fly. Pinelli singled to left and they had a fine chance to score. Fon seca went to sleep on second and a peg from the outfield caught him oft the bass. Caveney walked, but Wingo and Rixey grounded to the infield, cut ting down the two runners. Harper Connects. Harper was the only Red to hit the 'offerings of the spit-ball thrower with any consistency. He pounded a dou ble and a single in three trips to the plate. He was on the bases three times, but that was all there was to it. He died each time. Ivan Olson was the star performer for the Robins. He gave the Reds opportunities to score in the first part of the game, but they could not im prove their chances, then the veteran in-fielder settled down and cut off grounder after grounder during the remainder of the game Moran's men are .i a batting slump at present, but thev are due for a brace most any time.

MENKES Memories of the pivot blow which felled Jack Dempsey ("The Nonpa reil") 33 years ago were recalled the other night when a youthful ringman. without knowing what sort of punch he was using, nearly suffered dis qualification for trying it. Generations have come and gone since that memorable night in San Francisco when Ofiors'e Te Blanche 'first used that blow which ever after wards was barred from the prize ring. But the story of the fight which was ended by that punch, ever will remain as one of the most dramatic in ring annals. Dempsey then was at the height of his glorious career a champion of the middleweights, a conqueror of heavy weights a super-man of the padded i arena. Up to that August night in I 1CQQ V V o .-1 r. fi "V in i n entire career. Lo Blanche had through 1887 and 1888 established quite a reputation for himself and in 1889 hurled a challenge at Dempsey. The champion, who nev er ducked a foeman in his fi6tic life time, accepted and a finish battla for August 27, 18S9 was arranged for San Francisco. LeBlanche , in reality, was a heavy weight. He towered above Dempsey and was at least 30 pounds heavier. But from the outset of that fight, Dempsey was the master. Knowing the amazing ability of Le Blanche to withstand hard punches, Dempsey determined not to strive for I a quick knock-out over his huge rival. Instead he elected to jab and peck away at Le Blanche until he had cut 1 the big fellowvdown to a point where a few well placed and powerful blows would win for him. Dempsey Chopped Away. Through 31 rounds of warfare, Dempsey methodically chopped away at LeBlanche. Slowly but surely the splendid strength and endurance pow ers of Le Blanche had ebbed away. As the thirty-second round started, it didn't seem humanely possible for i Le Blanche to last another full round. Time was cauea ior me iuiuj- 1 XI A v. : --r second. Demnsey slipped in and jab bed LeBlanche into a position where a oile driver right might do the tncK. But even as he did so, Le Branchej turned around with his back to Demp- se.y, And then the tragedy happentd. Lifting his arm to the level of his shoulder, and holding it straight out and as rigid as a crowbar, LeBlanche whirled around with all the final strength and speed he could summon, The swing gave h;n added impetus. As he completed the half circle, the forearm of the rigid arm struck Demp sey on the chin. The effect and the power was almost the same as though Dempsey had been hit by an iron bar. With barely a quiver of the body, Dempsey fell in a crumpled heap upon the floor. The scene which followed perhaps never will have a parallel in ringdom. The knockout of the man, who, but a moment before, seemed an absolutely certaiin victor, practically paralyzed every person in the audience. Crowd Silent. The referee never moved from the spot where he had been standing when Dempsey was hit. He did nothing could do nothing else but look at Dempsey, then at LeBlanche and then back at the unconscious victim of the foulest blow ever used in a prize ring. And LeBlanche, like the referee, seemed petrified. Not only did he stand like a graven image, but even the arm which had struck down Demp sey remained in the air in exactly the same" position as when it had hit the champion. Not a sound came from the audi ence. It was hushed like the hush in a graveyard at night. Jusf how long Dempsey lay on the floor no one ever has been able to say-J for the referee never counted and the timers, too stunned, never looked at their watches to register the passage of time. , At last someone moved in the Demp sey corner. The sound galvanized others to action. They came forward into the ring, picked up the fallen champion and carried him to his cor ner. LeBlanche, still like a man in a stupor, walked to his, iien climbed through the ropes and went to his 'dressing room cdmpany. K E D S In all sizes for vacation wear.

DUNING'S 43 North Eighth Street SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, The crowd, without a . word, and still in silence, practically tip-toed its way out of the arena the final act in one of the most remarkable tragedy dramas pugilism has ever known. , Victory of a man over a champion usually gives the title to that man. La Blanche automatically became middle weight ruler. But no tone ever rec ognized his claim. Rather, he became regarded as an outcast of sportdom. Defeat that night, even though it was accomplished by a blow ever after ward barred, practically ruined Demp sey. He didn't fight again, until near ly a year later and although he-won, it was evident that he no longer was the mighty, all conquering Jack Demp sey. And then, in 1S91, the real end of his reign and" his greatness came when but a shadow of his former self, the once unbeatable, superb warrior fell before the attacks of Bob Fitzsim mons.

EXCAVATION STARTED AT EARLHAM GOLLEGE ;F0R NEW GYMNASIUM Foundations for the new indoor field at Earlham college will be laid, start ing either Saturday or Monday, ac cording to the outlook now. A force of men have been preparing the ground for the foundations and this work was to be finished by Friday evening. The location is most ideal for the building, being right on the former tennis courts. The dirt which is taken during the excavation work, will be used to fill in the lower section just west of the site for the building. Extending to the south as far as the fence of Reid Field, and north to with - m i xeet oi tne tennis backstop, tne building will give ample snace for all the athletic activites of the college in the future. The basketball court will be 60 by 100 ft:, and will be located at the extreme west end or tne building. Then the eastern half of the structure will be left with a dirt foundation, so that football can be played by the varsity during inclement weather. Although the men are now working intensively on the site, the real work is to start next week with the laying in of concrete for the foundations. . The drawing of the new building can be seen in the Starr Piano com pany's east window.
