Pempsey and Miske in Trim for Ring Batt??~at Ben ton Harbor
Dougherty Chosen as Referee
After All-Night Wrangle
(Campion an Overwhelming Favorite in Betting,
But the Challenger9? Admirers Are Willing to
Wager That Tteir Man Will Last Ten Rounds
BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Sept. 6.?-After an all-night wrangle over
ti? choice of a referee, ?calm settled to-day over the training camps of
jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, and Billy Miake,. of St.
p?Ul, challenger, who meet here to-morrow afternoon in a scheduled ten
yound championship contest
James Dougherty, of Philadelphia, for whom Dempsey's manager,
Jack Kearns, had fought for days, finally was agreed upon as the third
Bin in the ring. But this was only after Kearns "had issued an ulti?
matum that he would call off the match and take Dempsey out of town
if Dougherty was not selected. Thompson Bigger, chairman ?of the Mich?
igan State Boxing Commission, consented at the last minute to give
Dougherty a referee's license.
i .?i a. Day, a Detroit referee, was
Bisse''* choteo, whom he named ab
referee at a midnight conference after
Kearn* had refused to consider any or
ten other ring candidates. When
Kterns was advised of thii he in?
formed Promoter Floyd Fitssimmons
thii Dempsey would not go into the
?OS
Agreement With Fltrsi minons
Kearns revealed that he had an
Ureement with Fitzsimmons when the
Hatch was made that Dougherty was
? to be referee. He declared that he
iroold not consent to Day because he
had never seen him officiate. When
tit match was in danger of being
eilled of! Chairman Bibber, Promoter
fitzsimmons and the others interested
had a final conference at daylight, at
which Day agreed to withdraw in favor
?f Dougherty.
Although Dempsey was an over?
whelming favorite in the betting,
Miske had hundreds of admirers will?
ing to wager that he would be on his
!?? feet at the end of the tenth round.
The challenger will go into the ring
weighing about 190 pounds?fifteen
pounds heavier than when he fought
Dempsey in their two previous en?
gagements two years ago. His ad?
mirers are impressed with the fact
that he is the only fighter who has
ftti? Dempsey for ten rounds without
being knocked out.
Dempeey's most formidable fighting
?nets are his punching powers and
ipted. Miske is aggressive, but has
been ?ted as of the plodding rather
than ?e light-footed type of ring gen?
eral, 4nd his punching powers have
not gained the fame of a ?hampionship
wallop.
The match to-morrow will be Demp
?ey's fir?t since he conquered Jesse
Wlllard in the third round ?f their
battle at Toledo, fourtesn months ago.
H will be Miske's second contest with?
in the ?ame period, as he did not box
for a year because of a mysterious
ailment to his spine.
Wrangling Upsets Dempsey
Dempsey was upset because of the
wrangling over the referee last night j
and did no work to-day. MiBke, how?
ever, responded to the appeal of- a ?
crowd and went through some light ex- j
ereise?. ,
Manager Jack Kearns announced to
sight that Dempsey "would enter th?j ?

The first preliminary is called for
2 o'clock, Central standard time, when
Harry Greb meets Chuck Wiggins, in
the light heavyweight class.
The semi-final is between Bill T?te,
the giant negro, who was Dempsey's
sparring: partner at Toledo last year
and again here, and Sam Langford, the
Boston negro heavyweight.
Dempsey and Miske were not ex?
pected to enter tho ring before 8:30,
Central standard time. There was
little betting done to-day. There has
been much talk of commissions run?
ning Into the thousand?, but very few
wagers. The oldds were 3 to 1 on Demp?
sey to win, 1 to 6 that Miske wins, and
even money that Miske wil lnot be

Town's Population Doubles
Ben?ton Harbor, with a normal popu?
lation of'15,00o, was rapidly doubling
its inhabitants to-night. Hotels were
crowded to the limit.
Promoter Fitzsimmons was hopeful
to-night that every one of the 18,000
arena seat3 would be sold. The sale
to-night had reached between $80,000
and $100,000, he said, and that if all
seats are sold the gate receipts will
be somewhere between $175,000 and
$200,000.
State constabulary are here cooper?
ating with police and the Sheriff^ force
in handling the crowd and presenting a
carnival of gambling which resulted at
the Leonard-White bout her? July 5.
Promoter Fit?simmons to-night paid
Kearns the $50,000 guaranteed Dempsey
for the fight.

Stars Tee Off
This Morning
Ouimet and Jones Favored
to Cany Off Title; Can?
adians B-ear Watching
By Grantland ?Rice
From something more than 220
golfers who will start at the Engineers'
and North Shore clubs shortly after
daybreak on Monday morning only
thirty-two will survive by the same
Monday's brooding dusk. One man out
of seven entered in the amateur cham?
pionship will come safely through, as
six out of every seven starters pack
away their war clubs and retire from
the scene to wait another year.
Can you wonder, ?under this supreme
test, that the nerves of even the lead?
ing entrants were jumping sideways
last night as they began to figure on
wasted strokes in a bunker or putts
that skidded by the cup through the
36-hole journey around the two
courses? This will be the most rugged
qualifying test ever known In any
championship, for the simple reason
that the field is the largest and the
strongest that ever went after our
main amateur crown. So it isn't a
matter of opinion, but one of mathe?
matics and raw logic, unadorned.
What figure will be necessary to
qualify on this occasion? Last August
at Oakmont there was a double elimi?
nation test. The first 18-hole Journey
removed all but seventy. When these
seventy started in the final 36-hole
jaunt there wer? thirty who had 171
or better and eight registered at l'/2.
So 172 might be registered as the
official qualifying mark,
Oakmont was longeo than either the
Engineers' or North Shore course, and
the Pittsburgh course also called for
harder hitting from the tees. But Oak*
mont greens were not as keen nor as
billowy, as those at the Engineers',
where many strokes will be added to
many scores. ,This time, also, there
will be well over 200 golfers snooting
at the mark, and this should mea? a j
big reduction. i
In other years the main average has
been around 168 or 167 for thirty-six
holes. Wo should say that any golfer
able to turn in 167 will get by nicely
on this occasion. Any score above that '
mark by even a stroke will be a bit j
doubtful. There is the chance, of |
course, with so many starters that '
quite a few unknowns will drop a sum- ?
cient number of putts to get around in j
164, and if this happens even 167 might
not get in.
Whatever happens it is a certainty
that more than a few star golfers will
fail. They have failed before, and with
the big field and the possibilities of
high scoring at the Engineers they will
fail again. You can name a few who
are certain to qualify?as certain as |
anything can be in this most uncertain
existence. These certainties include, :
among others, Francis Ouimet, Bobby
Jones, Chick Evans, Bob Gardner, Dave
Herron, Jerry Travers, Bill FowneB and ,
Max Marston. Among others who '.
should qualify might be included the j
four British entries, Oswald Kirkby, !
Ned Sawyer, Jesse Sweetser, Jesse
Guiiford, Gardiner White, Rudolf Knep-1
per, John G. Anderson, Lucien Wa'ker, !
J. S. Worthington, J. Wood Platt, E. M.
Byers and a few others of first rank. |
But no one would be willing to bet ?
anything like even money that every
man in this list will get through.
No man who develops a streak of
wildness from the tees has any chance !
at the Engineers. The same applies to
any man who loses his touch on the j
putting green*. It is quite a simple
matter to take three putts on s?ven or
e.ifrht greens where the slopes and dips
art so pronounced, and only a few of !
the select can afford to waste this j
many putts and get safely through for |
the tost at match play which begins to?
morrow.
The thirty-two who survive to-day's
medal round will be paired to-night j
for the first clash on Tuesday, with
sixteen matches scheduled. And U.he ,
luck of the draw will play no small i
part in deciding the name of the ulti- I
mate winner. I
There arc so many favorites in this
field that naming any one leader in ad- ]
vanee of the qualifying test is an act
replete with all the ingredients of a
fuess. No two men are playing'any
etter golf than Francis Ouimet and
Bobby Jones, who will be as formidable
as any other pair. Chick Evans has
been playing brilliant golf all year,
but as Chick's main trouble before has
been upon the gr?ons it remains to he
seen how well ho can become accli?
mated to the putting test that will con?
front him in this championship.
Bob Gardner and Dave Herron aro
two redoubtable opponents over any
ao-holo march. Both have unusual
gamencss, physical stamina, and the
necessary ability to play fine golf. Just
how far the British entries and the
Canadian representatives will go is not
to be judged until they come upon the
test. Through the early stages Roger
Wethered, the tall Oxford star, has
shown to better advantage \han any of
the others, and he may be the hardest
of the visitors to overthrow.
But just at this stage we should say
that Francis Ouimet and Bobby Jones
will be the two who will bear very
close watching if they should get in
opposite sections of the draw.
It may happen, of course, that the
Canadians will spring a grand surprise.
While our American stars should bo
ablo to stand them off there is no deny?
ing that such players as the Thompson
brothers, William McLuekie and the
veteran George S. Lyon are all grand
golfers, capable of winning the cham?
pionship and certain to make a hard
fight of it all the way.

IN ALL FAIRNESS
By W. O. M'GEBHANi
BASEBALL is the only professional sport that has stood the teat of a
half century. It is more popular to-<lay than at any time in its his?
tory. It is popular because the public has faith in the honesty of
the game. If it had not been kept absolutely pure baseball would hay?
gone down in a crash long ago.
A lot of magnates these days are getting rich through the. promotion
cf baseball. A few players likewise?the Ruths and the Cobbs, in partie
ular?are reaping handsome profits. Cpuntless other players not so wel
known have every reason to feel proud of a profession that yields mucl
quieker returns than the average profession. Perhaps most of the mag
nates might get as handsome returns from capital invested in othei
business lines. But it is a certainty that few players could do so wel
at any other profession, business or work.
One would think, then, that the baseball players would strive to keej
the game as sweet and pure as it always has been. Yet there is an under
current of gossip going the rounds that is none too reassuring for th
future of the game. The scandal associated with the last world's serie
betw?sen the Reds and White Sox developed nothing tangible, and so th
public forgot. A few of the National League players against whom th
finger of suspicion was pointed were quietly dropped last spring.
Rattling the Skeleton Again
"OUT now, from President William Veeck of the Chicago Cubs, comes a
admission that charges have been preferred against certain of th
players of that team. The charges are made by gamblers, it is true, an
may have been made through, chagrin.
It seems certain gamblers of the Middle West, perhaps wishing to wi
i a bet on the Cubs, telegraphed Fred Mitchel that the game was to I
', thrown to the Phillies. It was the regular turn of Hendrix to pitch, bi
Mitchel substituted Alexander. The Phillies won anyhow, and from ?
ensuing squawk it is reasonable to suppose the gamblers double-cross?
themselves.
However that may be, Veeck is determined to probe the gambliu
insinuations to the bottom. He declares if any player or players of tl
Cubs aro found guilty they will be driven out of the profession, even if
means the wrecking of the team.
This is the proper spirit, and should find hearty indorsement and c
operation not.only from his fellow magnates but from all honest playe:
as well. Hush methods will not avail for a sport that stands on publ
confidence alone. If there are in organized baseball any dishonest playe
anywhere the authorities or their employers should make such an exar
pie of them that the coming generations would never forget. There hi
been altogether too much pussyfooting in both major leagues ever sin
the Federal League invasion.
One Mad, Mad Scramble
?jVTOT since 1908 have the two major leagues furnished such thrillii
races as obtain at the present moment. In each circuit three tear
are so closely bunched that there is scarcely a game's difference betwe
the leader and the third club.
Back in 1908, when Hughie Jennings won his second consecutive pe
nant with the Tigers, any one of the four Western American League clu
had a winning chance on the second to the last scheduled day of the s?
son. In the National League that year the Cubs and the Giants were i
quired to play off a game to decide the championship. And in the gai
preceding this play-off there was a possibility of a triple tie for the p?
nant developing among the Giants, Cubs and Pirates.
History often repeats itself, and it would not be surprising to i
another just such finish this year. But in the interim the integrity of t
game will be put to the proof. It is no time now to allow personal frier
ships to interfere with a struggle in which the public wishes the two b?
teams to win and play for the championship of the world.
Greater New York will keep an eye particularly on the behavior
the Braves and Phillies in their games with New York and Brookl;
Supposedly there are close business relations between the New Y(
and Boston clubs. Supposedly, too, a veteran player of the Phill
who wore a Giant uniform for years and who went in exchange for Bi
croft would find it personally profitable if New York should share in 1
world's series.
It is to be hoped the pennants are decided strictly on merit. T
game can tolerate no monkey business.
That Heavyweight Championship Fight
TPHIS Labor Day afternoon Benton Harbor, Mich., is to witness a worl
c?ampionahip battle. Jack Dempsey, the conqueror of Jess Willa
is to box ten rounds with Billy Miske.
Strangely, the country in general is not "het up" over this bout, a
usually is when a heavyweight crown is at stake. It seems a bad mat
to say the least. Miske at his best could scarcely have been a match
the hardest hitter the ring has known in years. He has but lately
covered from a very long and serious illness. Aside from the mon
Dempsey can hope to get little out of the battle. He must knock
Miske or stand somewhat discredited. If Billy sticks to the limit th
is bound to be talk. And if Dempsey ?goes after Miske as he did ai
Willard it is just possible there may be another ring fatality.
Tennis Classic To-day
AT THE West Side courts to-day William M. Johnston, champion
the United States, is to defend his title against William T. Tilden
champion of the world. This meeting should furnish one of the grea
net classics ever seen in the United States, for both men are of champ;
ship temperament and both on the top of their game.
. Irrespective of the outcome, it is safe to say this country's champ
will be a credit to tho title. Lawn tennis is to-day ae firmly establishei
America and has as great a grasp on lover3 of outdoor exercise almos
golf. As in other sporting activities, tho United States has* no reasoi
feel ashamed of its leading wielders of the racquet. To-day's meeting
the titans will be awaited with particular interest. And it is safe to
that Australia, which holds the Davis Cup, will have an ear to the groi

Riddle's great chestnut colt, Man o' War, must go down as tho ch
pion thoroughbred of all time. This great three-year-old, under
pounds, never orrce let down fully, ran the final furlong of his race fa
than he ran the first one. He was anything but a tired horse at the ?
and doubtless could have continued his wonderful burst of speed to the
of two miles.
Man o' War's exhibition was all the more wonderful in that he
without pace, for he ran away from hi3 contender, Hoodwink, at the i
start, and in a quarter mile was out beyond earshot of Hoodwink's 1
beats. '
It is said that Louis Feustel will now point Man o' War for the <
Cup and a new record at two miles. In this race, for the first time,
great three-year-old colt would have to meet horses of all ages. It i
be hoped the best of these do not sidestep the issue. It would be intei
ing to the world at large jus!; to know how fast Man o' War could et?
he really had spirited opposition.

Eastern Shore Handicap
. Attracts Fine Entry
HAVRE DE GRACE, Md., Sept. 5.?
A survey of the entry roster of the
?10,000 Eastern Shore, a handicap at
three-quarters of a mile for youngsters
of both sexes to be decided here during
the last week of the Harford Agri?
cultural and Breeders associations' au?
tumn meeting, indicates that the East?

test than will the Futurity, a $35,000
