FIGHT CROWDS FALLING OFF ny Frank Getty, Madison Square Garden, Now York. ! June 7. —(U.R) The bottom appears to j tin falling out of the stork market. I To the list of recent matches stag- j oil In tho oast this spring, which have proved flnanctal bloomers, must 'be 1 added tlie affait at Madison Siiuare | Garden last night in which Arman.M Kmanuel of California fought his way I to a decision over old In ton rounds. The smallest fight crowd of the Garden season showed tip. McTlgue. who admits to some 40 j Hummers, and has seen some others j ho does not care to mention, furnish- | od the lone thrill of the performance \ when ho drove a straight right to i Emanuel's chin in tho opening round \ and diopped the Jewish heavyweight for the count of nine. Blit tfie elder- ■ ]v Irishman could not follow up his : advantage, and at the finish he was a badly beaten boxer, clinging on j against the filial bell which ended the light with the lad i f half his age an , easy victor on points. Kmanuel was unimpressive. He hit ] MeTigue at will, with everything except the ring posts and failed to even ; threaten to drop the aged celt. Tex ' Rickard's hopes of producing a real Jewish heavyweight contender were ' obliterated. Just why Jack Dempsey selected '< Emanuel as his pioteg? is difficult to . tell, for the hoy, while a handsome, j well-built, swift-footed youngsters, dis- j played none of the fighting instinct j of the former champion. Watching The Scoreboard —(U.R)— Yesterday's hero: Rube Rressler. Brooklyn outfielder, who beat his j former teammates with a single in the eleventh which scored Hendrick from third, giving tlie Robins a 1 to 0 victory over the league-leading Cincinnati Reds. Jack Cummings, pinch-hitting in (he ninth, singled and Bill Terry seor- | ed the winning run in the New York | Giants 4 to 3 victory over the St. j Louis Cardinals. The victory lifted I the Giants hack to second place ten | percentage points—less than a game j below the Reds. I’efe Scott, sometimes outfielder and catcher but now first baseman. ! ; blazed the trail for the Pittsburgh Pir- | ates to beat the Boston Braves, 8 to li. in 12 innings, with two home runs j and a double. i Shutout for seveninnings the New j York Yankees called their home run ! brigade into action in the eighth and j ninth innings and hammered out an j 8 to 2 victory' over the Cleveland In- | dians. Lazzeri, Ruth and Gehrig hi: | 0 m homers in the last two innings, Laz- 1 zeri with one on and Ruth with two. | Alvin Crowder held the Philadel- j phia Athletics to four scattered hits, j the St. Louis Browns winning 4 to 1. i Five straight hits in the third inning, ' one a home run by Brannon, scored ! four runs and drove Left Grove from the mound. Owen Carro'l gave the Boston Red Sox but five hits and the Detroit Tigers displaced* the Red Sox in fifth | place in the American league with a j 5 to 2 victory. With Bucky Harris hack in the lineup, the Washington Senators beat the Chicago Whit • Sox, 7 to 5, the Senators moving o seventh place as I the White Sox sank into the cellar. | The Philadelphia Phillips broke their nine-game losing streak when Riy Benge Held t':e Cubs to six hits, the Phil'ies winning 4 to 2. National League To Open On April 16 Next Spring New York, June B.—(U.R)—Unfavorable weather, postponnients and sick ness among ball players, unprecedented in the history of baseball, have caused National league owners to postpone the opening day next season to April 16, five days later than this ye»r s opening.
