J., Sept. 7.—What effect will Firpo’s action in surrounding himself with South American advisers have on his chances in his coming battle with Jack Dempsey for the world’s heavyweight title? Their comnany undoubtedly w' 1 have a good effect upon his morale. They are his own people, p<-ssess : rg tie peculiarities <.f temperament that have marked Firpo’s career in this country. By their under standing of these peculiarities, they will prevent the many petty an noyances he has been subject to from men of different birth. As far as his physical training goes, Senor Horacio, Lavalle, the millionaire sportsman who has come from South America to super vise Firpo’s work, and whose com ing has been the cause of much favorable criticism on the part of some folks in this country, does not intend to initiate any differ ent method than the one employ ed here in the United States. Strong on Calisthenics. “Training of an athlete for a ring bout,” he says, “is just the same in South America as it is in North Amerjca. We follow the same system, except that we lay, perhaps, a little more stress on calisthenics. “The calisthenics are in addition to the regular routine of ring train ing, and are performed after the morning roadwork. “I have always found calisthenics a great help in developing every muscle in the body, and tending to give suppleness and quickness. “We are not going to try and Georgia road maps, 35c, at South ern Printers. 7-lt Good writing inks at Southern Frinters.

Y., Sept. 7. (By Associated Press.) Harry Wills, negro challenger for the world’s heavyweight champion ship, will never have a chance to win the title while Jack Dempsey is champion. Thp , title holder made this declaration last night aft er receiving word that Faddy Mul lins, manager of Wills, had insti tuted legal action in an attempt to stop the Dempsey-Firpo match at New York, Sept. 14. Jack Kearns, Dempsey’s manager left immediately for New York upon receipt pf a message from Tex Rickard, promoter of the con test. Kearns said he had been sum moned to make an affidavit for the champion and himself, explain ing their connections with the fight.

Many of the biggest disputes in basebalj, have resulted from the failure of a run ner to simply touch the base as called for by the rules.’ There is a runner on third base, two out, and the pitcher, a weak hitter, is up. With the count two balls and two strikes on the bats man, the runner on third gets away to a big lead in an effort to steal home. It looked as if he might be suc cessful. The batsman did not of fer at the pitch. The catcher, in an effort to hurry the play, per mitted the pitch, which the umpire ruled a strike, to get away from him. ’ • Since it was the third strike, the batsman dashed for first. The ball rolled to the grandstand and the coacher at first waved the runner to try for second. K’c madei it easily. ♦|<!| While the catcher was chasing the ball things were happening. The runner from third had slid over the plate, gotten to his feet, dust ed off his uniform, and was on the way to the bench before the catch er even recovered the ball. The batsman, who had gone to •second on the error, unfortunate ly failed to touch first. The mis take was noted by the first base man and the umpire. The player called for the ball, touched first and the umpire ruled the runner standing on second out, making’the third out of the inning. The runner from third, who had crossed the plate, was sitting on | the bench before the third out was I finally made. Does the run count? THE INTERPRETATION The run does not count. The rule covering the scoring of runs says a run canont score on a play in which the batsman fails to reach first base for l the third out. Al though he reached second, because of his failure to touch first, he never reached that base, hence the run does not count. 1 WANTED—Ford Touring Car. I’ve got Spot Cash. The Be--t.

One side is said to be “dormy” when it is as many holes ahead as there remain holes to play. Smith concedes Jones d bisque of six-strokes. As I understand it that gives Jones the right to use the handicap of six strokes at his option. Is it permissible for Jones to apply these strokes to the best possible advantage or must he de clare his intentions regarding the taking of these strokes? A player, when he receives bis ques cannot wait until the match is over and then use them to the best possible advantage. It’s necessary for him to declare his intention to take them as the match progresses lrl Player, on reaching his ball, finds.it is in a rut in the rough, ilt making a very bad lie. He is un certain aS to how he should play his next shot. The rut extends a considerable distance down the course. Is it permissible for a player to go some distance from | where his ball lies to get the ac- . tion of the club in striking the rut? A player has no right to take such a practice, shot in order to get , a line on the best possible way tq ' get out. The penalty for so doing would be loss of the hole in match play and a two-stroke penalty in medal play. In what year did Robert Gard ner of Chicago play Cyril Tolley in the finals for the British ama teur championshin and what was the outcome of the match? Gardner was runner-up in 1920, losing after 37 holes. The play was at Muirfield, Scotland.
