THE DAILY BRITISH JUNIOR GAME FOR MONDAY Circle-8ix Will Put Up Mbre Fight This Time, The Circle-Six have been down to roal hard practice since receiving a stiff drubbing at the hands of the Victorias and if determination counts anything it's going to be a mighty battle Monday morning, as the Circle Six are #etermined to return the compliment to the Vices and Matt Coyne's collection are out to keep up their good start. On account of Monday being a holldny, 'the time of the game was changed tilt Ten d'clock in the morning so that people would be given a better opportunity to see | the game. Thore has been a great deal of Speculation as to the strength of the two teams since the first game. Many think that the Victorias have EOt just the start they neekes and that they are going to come through this season while other fans are of | the opinion that the Circle Six will &nap out of it now and get down to their regular baseball. One thing fs certain and that is that 'hey did not play at their best in the first game. They have every reason to do it Monday as the game will mean a great deal to either team, HITS AND JABS By Joe Williams. 3 Seopa ; Bobby Jones finished second in a race at Bowie the other day....We don't know who finished first but it| must have een Hagen. | Walter Johnson started the season | with a 15-inning win over the Ath- | letics. . . .

The track at the Fair Grounds needs grading badly and at one place on the course considerable work is needed to take a grade off. Race horses are not used to climbing hills and although the grade is only small it is hard on the horses when they strike the incline. The Circle-Six and Victorias clash again on Monday it is generally conceded that things are going to be quite different than when the Vics. handed out the drubbing in the opener. Circle-5ix realize now that they have to fight, and fight hard, for a chance to represent Kingston in the O.B.A.A. playofts and they are out to nab that oppor- tunity. The Vics. have gained a great deal of confidence since their first win and are past the stage-struck stage, which means that Circle-Six are {facing a big task.

Before the summer seaZon is end- ed Jack Dempsey, heavyweight ¢cham- pion, and Gene Tunney, foremost white challenger, will step into the ring and start firing loaded punches at each other. 'Who'll win? I'll let Eddie Kane answer that one for you. Kane managed Tommy Gibbons until the St. Paul heavy- weight retired some months ago. Kane is closer to Gibbons than a recalcitrant bunion and when he speaks on matters touthing on, and appertaining to, the nose-busting racket he is reflecting Gibbons' mind. | If any one in the world is qualified | through actual experience to tell | whether Dempsey is better than Tun- | ney, or vice versa, that one man is | Gibbons. Three years ago, out in the Tittle cow town of Shelby, Mont., Gibbons fought 15 rounds with Dempsey and was on his feet, In pretty good shape, when the contest ended. Last summer, at one of the ball parks here, Gibbons went on against Tunney and was knocked out for the | first time in his long career; not only knocked out but outclassed. The bout was actually one-gided. Consider ~ the facts: Dempsey couldn't stop Gibbons. What's more he 'couldn't even score a knockdown. (And don't let anybody tell you he wasn't tryfhg, either.) On the other hand, Tunney stretched the Irishman and did so with comparative ease. You'd think, then, that Gibbons' pick would be Tunney. But it isn't, Kane says Gibbons is stringing along with Dempsey and not because of any prejudicial feelings. 1f anything Gibbons has a somewhat higher per- sonal regard for Tunney than for the champion. "Gibbons simply has an hores* conviction that Dempsey is a graater fighter than Tunney," says Kane, "and he believes that if the two ever fight, which apPears likely now, ~~ HELPFUL GOLF HINTS i By Walter Hagen. The beginner should never go near a golf course until he has learned some idea of how to hit a ball. Get- ting the proper swing before ap- proaching golf grounds will save a lot. Beginners should remember the first-class players hate to waste time playing with a duffer who only retards their progress. Learning the game while playing in a match is no way to get any headway. You are spoiling your own game and that of the good players. : There is another angle to the game too. Beginners do congost a golf course. They can't play the game fast enough to hold their place and a great many of them do not know enough about golf ettlqlet to invite those behind to come through. Asa result the course is held up. The general rule in regard to this is to play when the pliyers in front of you have had their second shot. If this is not snaush ong Saunt out JACK DEMPSEY. Dempsey will win. Gibbons concedes Tunney's fine points as a ringman but' prefers to believe Dempsey has finer ones." Whether the bout goes the limit or ends by a knockout, Gibbons pre- dicts Dempsey will be the winner. This is a rather unusual slant on the situation, for most critics argue the longer the bout lasts the brighter Tunney's chances of winning. This on the presumption Tuhney is the better boxer. Kane says Dempsey is a much harder puncher than Tunfiey, despite the fact that Tunney stopped Gib- bons and Dempsey didn't. "Any- body could have knocked Gibbons out that night," admits Kane. 'He was dead on his feet an hour before he entered the ring." Being a more dynamic puncher, Dempsey will rule a logical favorite to land the knockout if one is landed. Kane says Gibbons questions the widespread belief Tunney is a better boxer than the champion. "Gibbong found Dempsey a better than aver- age boxer in their Montana fight. Gibbons went into that fight called the cleverest heavyweight since Jim Corbett's time. Few expected him to last the limit. T¢ he did it seemed reasonable enough to expect him to! win on points, "You know what happened. It was a close fight for 10 rounds. Even | Dempsey"s own hand-picked referee admitted he would have had to give the decision to Gibbons on points ft the fight had been limited to ten |! sessions, "Unfortunately for us it went fit- teen, and during the lest five rounds Dempsey out-boxed him is the went on to win the decision." There you have, mates, the low- down on Tunney and Dempsey by the | one man who has battled them both. And the low down, as he sees it, is this: Dempsey to win by a knockout if there is one, or on points if the | bout goes the limit, another man by getting to the bas ber shop first.
