IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
CHAMP’S PATH IS
NO ROSE CARPET
Grief Goes With Glory
In Sport honors, Sny
der Shows
BY DEAN SNYDER.
Glory of the champions is always
offset with much grief.
Owning a title in anything makes
the owner a mark to shoot a’. Some
times the sharpshooters may be right.
More often they are w.rong.
Jack Dempsey was once a can free
happy-go-lucky boy riding train- and
letting the wofld go by. Today law
suits follow in his wake. Everybody
i.ems »to take pleasure in “kicking ■
his dog around.’’
Jock Hutchinson imagined ali!
gclfers were nice folk until he v< •
England’s trophy cup and the.
ed it at him ii'.e a spiteful cold
shares its bread and butter w;Li an
other.
Babe Ruth never had a worry uni
he proved that he could sock ■
about four times as man ho.r . i
as any other man living.
Charles PadduCk br< a h f : < ■ ■
ords out on th.e Pacif.c coast, it tne
skeptical east tried to kid it-C.’
believing that the stop watches were
on- the blink.
Big Bill Tilden beat the world in
tennis and then even some of his
best friends suddenly discovered he
had a temperament.
You can have a lot more fun by
being just an ordinary guy than a
super.
BOXING MECCA
Sydney is the New York of Aus
tralia so far as boxing goes.
The big doe is there for the good
fights rs.
Daily a stream of letter from for
eign boxers flows into the Australian
city. They want their cut of the
coin that is being so generously dis
pensed there.
True, there are no half-million dol
lar purses.
Fans are critical, though. A fight
er must show something in order to
draw.
The best liked fellow on Sydney
cards is Billy Shade, the San Fran
cisco light-heavyweight. Shade car
ries a punch. That’s what they like.
So far he has lost but one contest
during his invasion, and that was on
a foul after he looked like a million
dollar bet to wit;.
We predict Shade can make a lot
of -money back home here when he
has gotten his velvet abroad.
NATIONAL SPIRIT
France was a beneficient host to
oui‘ American tennis stars.
Bill Tilden brings back the word
that the Yanks were accorded a won
derful reception everywhere.
“The French was perfectly splen
did,” he says. “They gave Mrs. Mal
lory and other players the warmest
possible kind of greeting. Crowds
flocked out to the matches in Paris.
Their attitude was so fine we all
strove to do our best.”
In England there was more parti
sanship shown. When Tilden faced
North, tlie South African, the Wim
bledon crowds were not so generous
with hospitality.
But Tilden offers no criticism. He
is too big for that.

WASHINGTON, July 18.—Henfy
Derneille, twenty-two-year-o'.d Wash
ington policeman, is out to arrest
Jack Dempsey.
That is, he is out to arrest Demp
sey’s career as champion heavyweight
fighter of the world.
Darneille doesn’t want to pinch
Jack, to put han behind bars. He
wants to punch him and put him to
sleep while a referee counts It).
Rather presumtuous, eh. what?
Well, just wait a bit. On the
evening of July 4, two days after
De. ;psey put one Frenchman to sleep
in the arena at Jersey City, Henry
cleaned out the whole town of < api

district line in MarylaTid.

comers singly or in groups. Henry <
gave the doctors of Capital Heights
the busiest day they ever had. All
told some 50 persons were treated
for bumps, bruises, contusions and
similar injuries and three were sent
to the hospital severely hurt.
When a patrol wagon loaded with
Washington police arrival on the
scene, in response toil riot call, they
found their fellow Officer monarch

I Denjpsey in reach, weight and
j Capital Heights citizens maintain
in speed and resourcefulness.
It develops, too, that Darneille is
not altogether uni awith the
resined ring. During the war he was
in the navy and while there he
cleaned up everything matched
against him, emerging as undisputed
\ champion of the Atlantic fleet.
Fellow officers of the Washington
! force are wondering if Darneille
staged his Capital Heights bout just
■ to attract attention to his fistic skill,
: so that he might break into the big
fight game. No one seems to r< mem
ber just how it started. Some say
Darneille, in shirt sleeves and wear
ing his police badge on his suspend
ers, ordered three mi’ll attending the
Capital Heights July Fourth carnival
to “move on” and that when they
didn’t move he floored them with
! three quick punches.
i' Darneille says somebody gave him
. a shove and he shoved back.
Darneille, who is four years
.'younger than Dempsey, is built like
■ a Greek athlete. Big of chest,
; slender cf hip, with bunched muscles
on shoulders and arms he is lithe
fast on his feet, and splits two-incl
oak boards with his fist just to kee{
. his knuckles tough.
THE COOL WAY—THE CLEAN WAY—
THE SAVING WAY
I hose who know the charms of the Great Lakes have already made
plans T<>r their annual pilgrimage to America’s Wonderland. Lake Erie
with its incomparable fleet of magnificent passenger vessels, is especially
attractive to travelers, and plying -its waters you will find some of the
largest and most palatial steamers.
Os these the Great Ship “SEEANDBEE,” operating daily between
r leveland and Buffalo, is undoubtedly the most popular. The “SEEANDBEE”
is tne largest and most costly steamer on inland waters of the warld, and
her. immense proportions and luxurious appointments prompt passengers to
call her “The Floating Hotel.”
The traveler finds rest and comfort via this lake route. By boarding
the steamer at Cleveland or Buffalo a: 9:00 p. m. (Eastern standard time)
he may break the monotony of the all rail journey, enjoy a night of re
treshing sleep and reach destination at 7:30 the following morning.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased giortion of the ear.
Catarrhal Deafness requires constitu
tional treatment. HALL’S CATARRH
MEDICINE is a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused fy an in
flamed condition of the mucous’lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed. Deafness is the result. Unless
the inflammation can be reduced, your
hearing may be destroyed forever.
HALL’S CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system, thus reducing the in
flammation and restoring normal condi
tions.
