30 Sam Rice Is to Be Reinstated Tomorrow: Dempsey Begins Tapering Off Process* APPEAR IN LINE UP AGAINST CHAMPION YANKS \ Manager Hush Declines to State What Punishment Will Be Inflicted on Veteran—Griffs Lose Exhibition to Braves, BY JOHN B. KELLER. WITH tlie return this morning of the squad of a dozen players that took a 7-to-3 beating from the Braves in an exhibition game at Marblehead, Mass., yesterday, all of the Nationals arc here for their twenty-game home stand tha. extends through September 30—all nineteen of them. Not so many for a big league club, in that eleven of the nineteen players are battery men. Idle today, because of an open date in the schedule, the Nationals will j resume activities tomorrow, when the league-leading Yankees visit for a I single game. Sam Rice, veteran outfielder, who was suspended in Boston Monday j after a run-in with Manager Bush, will play against the men of Gotham, j The pygmy pilot this n;or ing announced Rice's reinstatement, but re- I fused any information as to what punishment would be handed the player ! for his conduct. Another series of mishaps such as | harassed the Nationals during a couple i of their western trips this season tvould force Bush to employ pitchers and catchers in utility roles, .for it now seems that no material is coming to the club from the minors for some while. Most of the athletes destined to get trials with the Bushmen are playing at I present in the Southern Association, and teams in that circuit refuse to give up their men until after their campaign ends the latter part of this month. 0 Hlnege Needs a Kent. The suspension of Hice brought into the line-up Joey' Evans, who has been the Nationals’ only utility player since late in July. It also compelled Bush to press into service again Ossie Bluege; who promises to become one of the best third suckers in the business, when this youngster should have been left on the bench to give his injured knee a change to heal. Rice’s return to the line-up may give Bluege another opportunity to rest his trick leg, although Bush was undecided this morning as to whether Ossie would ! hi’ withdrawn from the team anil Evans j sent' to third base. Bluege s knee has i been troublesome all season and twice I has forced his retirement. Further in jury may permanently incapacitate the | young fellow. Knives I‘minil Kecruil. _ Against the Braves yesterday, the’ Nationals pitched Buck I’hemanske. a righthand recruit, who had been used only in pre-game batting drills.

MAYS, ALTHOUGH ROBUST, MAY BE LET GO BY YANKS BY JOHN Nl'.W U)KK. September 7.—bar next year, according to rep j pitcher who was once the V; j lost one this season, but lie has pit cl Mays appears to he as strong at j worked along with Jones. Pennock. 1 j the bench all season. Whethers May | a question. No one can tell whethe j cause lie does not have the opporttu I has been good. I When the Yankees I.rain to shape ! I, P (or 1924 folks are wondering | whether Mays will he included in any kind of a deal that will bring in an j outfielder and an intlielder. There are j teams in the American League that I could have used Mays this year, but I the 1 anks have held on to him. If jas good as he was in 1 it2l he would •have made the Cleveland team ten games better off. He would have I i helped Detroit also and Chicago,! where the pitching weakness is mani- - ; fest. But when one suggests Mays |no one appeals enthusiastic about ! it. Maybe all of them still remember | the quarrel that ensued when he was brought to New York from Boston Arm Ik All Right. The National League cannot get him until all American League clubs have waived on him. So that's the story of a SIO,OOO pitcher being hog j tied to the* bench all season. If the Cincinnatis or Pittsburghs had been able to grab him they might have been leading their league. Mavs' arm j is all right. By hanging to him the , Yanks have coppered their own bet I that they will win their third straight ! pennant. In 1921 Mays was. in many raspects, i the best pitcher in the league. He j GIANTS MAKE GAIN AS THE REDS LOAF The Giants advanced yesterday to a position four and a half games ahead of the Cincinnati Reds, who were idle, Iby defeating the Phillies. 5 to 1, at I the Polo Grounds. The Pirates, who also won. defeating the Cubs, 5 to 1, in a five-inning game, which was cut off by rain, advanced to Just one-half game behind the Reds. In the New- York game Bentley earned his keep by strikmg out Cy Williams with the bases full. Cun ningham hit a homer. Hamilton pitched for the Pirates, allowing only five hits, while Alexander, hurling for the Cubs, let out nine in three in nings. No other games were played | in the National League, the Cincin nati-Kt. Louis Imttle being called off because of rain. In the American League Philadelphia defeated Boston, 6 to 2.

September 7.—The many people who have | come to my camp ask me it I feel as confident of victory in the Dempsey match as 1 did before the last fight, my encounter with j Weinert. 1 would like to speak about my fight with Charley Weinert. which i seems to have excited so much attention after 1 fought Sailor Maxted ! Did Joe McCann. Charley Weinert said many had things about me alter my fight with Joe McCann. He said that 1 was afraid to tight him and many other ■ things like that. At one time there was published in a Newark paper the news that Weinert had slapped me on the street and that I had been I afraid to take the challenge he offered. j i Df course, this report was a lie, as [ were many others, saying that 1 was 1 afraid of this one and Dipt one. J ' was never afriad of Weinert. and the ! ' first time I received a direct cha!- ! j iettge from him "backed by a reputable 1 promoter I acknowledged It inline- j i dialely. 1 was on my way to Grand j • Rapids when I received this cha!- ! j lenge, and I did not wail longer than i I w necessary to get to the next sta- ! i ticn to accept it. The world knows j ! now- what happened when I met I f Charley Weinert. 1 knocked him out j | in short order. j I think it perhaps well for those I who read these lines to remember! | that whenever 1 have been matched j to meet a man who stood between me and a chance to fight for the cham pionship of the world 1 have disposed i of that man. Perhaps I have not done I the job in the way that some expert } North Americans consider impressive. Tiie fact remains that I have whipped enough North American fighters to have a chance to fight the champion of the world. Some of the North American experts : laugh at me. They say that I cannot ' whip a good man. I have whipped all the good men they have asked me to whip. When 1 whip all these men they say are good, then they say these men are not good. It is very confus ing. Perhaps 1 do not understand. Perhaps it is that if I do not whip them then they are wonderful fighters, and if I do whip them then they never were any good. 1 do not know . Snr.’Mfled With Hlk Condition. 1 do know that I am satisfied with ' ' the way my training is progressing.

Then I would meet them and ' 1 would think to myself that probably | there were no people in the United | States who were not important. I it seems to me that every one who drives up to my cottage in a taxi or I a car is a multimillionaire, or. at the j most, a famous artist or writer in i the United States. 1 am beginning to think that there must be many, many multimillionaires’, or that every person in the United Slates who can afford to hire a taxi to come to my cottage is a multimillionaire.

JACK ALREADY IN SHAPE FOR BATTLE WITH FIRPO Champion Hereafter Will Devote Hi« Efforts in Training Camp to Developing Speed and Sharpening Boxing Skill. Hr t)ii> Associated pr<-ss. SAKAIOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., September 7.—Jack Dempsey fodat ' gan the process of liis training grind for bis fight ■ ;th ' Luis Angel birpo next Friday. Already in fighting trim, he will eii gage in work designed mainly to develop his speed and sharpen his box ing skill. Light sparring partners will he pressed into service, among them t Jamaica Kid, a negro whirlwind, weighing 170 pounds, and Jimmy Ik* laney, the St. Paul lightweight, a protege of Mike Gibbons. Pickling his face and hands in a combination of beef brine and vinegar to toughen the skin will be a part of Dempsey’s finishing touches, I c * l ? ni P lon h 9 alcs kig hands in the mixture several times daily and j rubs his lace vigorously. This “pickling,” Dempsey says, hardens the skin so there is less danger of a cut from a grazing blow'. Tom Sharkey and other old-timers used the same mixture with success, the champion said. FIVE DAYS OF HARD TRAINING FACE FIRPO I Hv the Associated Press. | ATLANTIC CITY, September 7.—j | After a hard-earned day of rest. Luis j j Ange! Firpo returned today to the j ! training grind for the battle with i I Jack Dempsey in New York Septem- I her 14. Five days of the training* period remain for the South American. ! and he plans to fill every minute with hard work. John Lester Johnson. New York heavyweight, one of the men that Dempsey met in New York early in his career, and young Bob Fitz simmons were to report for sparring duty in the Argentine’s camp this afternoon. Leo Gates, the Mohawk ] Indian fighter, who had been expected here, may cancel his engagement be cause of the fact that he is to fight in one of the preliminaries to tpe Firpo-Dempsey match. Luis Angel is in good humor. He | has been having all tiie excellent food that he can eat. his new motor car ar rived yesterday, the spotting writers are conceding him an excellent chance to win the world title, his South American friends tell him they are sure he will, Firpo’s cottage now is filled with friends from his native land. Besides his trainers and sparring partners there are some of the comrades of his youth. They never cease to marvel at his pugilistic improvement. They read to him the nice things that the i South American magazines have to j say, they sing to him the songs that I have been written for him Some times Luis joins in the singing, but most times he just sits in his com fortable chair, listening and dreaming | and plotting.

Dempsey Through With Will*. ( The legal action started by Paddy Mullins, manager' of Many Wills, negro challenger, in' attempting to prevent the Dempsey-Firpo match b<- cause Dempsey declined to fight Will* first, exploded like a bombshell uj the champion's camp. Dempsey de clared he never would give Wit* a "shot'' at the title as long a* lie was champion. 1 "That means the end of Wills far as 1 am concerned," Dempsey snapped. "I never had tlie slight's', objections to fighting Wills. We in tended to close this match after dis posing of Firpo provided J ’.ton.

GRAND JURY VIEWS PRIZE FIGHT FILMS CHICAGO, .September 7.—The federal grand Jury yesterday witnessed an ex hibition of the moving pictures of the iDempsey-Gibbons prize fight pictures which were seized by federal officials after an attempt to show them here. Edwin 1-. Weisl, assistant T'nileJ States district attorney, said that on* purpose in showing the films was present evidence against James Jfe- Grath. arrested several days ago. charged with violating the federal law by transporting the films in interstate commerce.
