TIGERS WIN OVER YANKEES New York. July 8 IJ.R) The Detroit "Tigers have boarded the New York Yaukee steamroller for a ride which Bulky Harris hopes will take his Bonsais within strlkIns distance of the American league 'leadership. now held by the New Yorkers. The second-place Tiger pounced on the Yanks yesterday to win in the tenth Inning, 8 to 5. the first western team to defeat the Yanks on home grounds this season. This victory chopped the Yanks lend to six and one-half games. The Tigers out hit Joe McCarthy's highly touted sluggers. 12 to in, and drove from the mound the famous Lefty Gomey. nailing him with Ills third defeat of the season. McCarthy was so certain he had the game sewed up at the end of the eighth that he allowed Babe Ru'h to leave the game, after the Bambino had registered three hits and driven in three runs. Gomez replaced Dannie Mi-Fay-den in the ninth with two on and none out. But a walk, a singly and a sacrifice accounted for three runs. In the tenth Senor Gomez i blew up, walking four men in a j row. lie was replaced by Ed j Wells, who allowed a single, scor-j Ing two runners. Cleveland replaced Washington in fourth position by beating the Senators twice. 2 to 2 and 4 to 2. ■Tack Russell allowed seven bits in winning the opener. Vosmik accounted for three Indian runs in the nightcap with a triple anil a home run. Connie Mack’s Athletics and the

EASTERN turf enthusiasts are all ngog over two new riders whose performances on the tracks there have been little short of amazing. Little Hank Mills, apprentice jockey, who had the patrons of the Honda tracks applauding and shouting his praises during the past Winter, has attracted a following such as Earle Sande and Laverne Fator had in their heyday. The other is George H. "Pete” Bostwick, millionaire amateur jockey and long famed as a steeplechase rider. These two have created more intern." in riding within the past few wc( ks than the Eastern turf has known in many a season. Little Hunk, just sixteen and with a round, boyish face and a Huckleberry Finn smile, has been booting home two and three winners a day. Already his string of victories since the beginning of the year has mounted well over the 100 mark. Since he has been in New York his

White Sox split a double-header, the Chisox Hiking the first, 12 to 3, and dropping the second, 9 to 2. Fotherglll, Appling and Ilayes hit 1 limners for Chicago In the opener, I and Dykes did likewise for the A’s. The Browns scored four runs iff I the first and overwhelmed the humble Red Sox, 8 to 2. ' In the National league, the j (Hants halted the leading Pirates’ | ; winning streak at six straight by '[defeating them, 4 to 3. This cut 1! the Pirates’ lead to two and one j half games, us the second-place j Chicago Cubs blanked the Phillies j 1 j 7 to 0. ' Home runs by Hargrave in tho| second inning and Shires in the eighth ena’led the Boston Braves j to nose out the St. Louis CardinI I nls, 5 to 4. | Brooklyn at Cincinnatti was 1 rained out. Yesterday's Hero: Pat Malone.; , whose five-hit pitching enabled; tlie Chicago Culis to blank the ; Phillies. Decatur Plays at Lima Next Sunday, July 10 i Snedeker's Decatur baseball team . is going against the stiffest team of ['the reason Sunday afternoon when > they journey to Lima Ohio anil /meet the fast Cream of Barleys of • that city. i j The Limn team is composed vs I ; sal a led •! layers and have an ex-j .| Optionally good tecord for this ‘season. The contest at Lima is a i winner take all affair. The locals . will he strengthened for the game adding Hoopengartner md Smith, : to their pitching staff as wr 11 as 1 : -everal go d hitters, i The game will start at 2:30 fast I time and ar angement has been j made for transpottation of local /fins at but very liftfe expense. i

winning mounts number forty or i more. Last year at Agua Caliente he was the leading jockey and later at Miami his work attracted the ' attention of rich turfmen and there was some spirited bidding for his services, and contract. The youngster is now riding for I Mrs. H. C. Phipps's Wheatley . Stable and, according to reports, i is dragging down a rather fancy i salary. Hank’s home is in Monti rose, Col., and he has been riding ! horses ever since he was old i enough to sit in a saddle by himself. He is a good-look'ing intelli- ■ gent youngster with reddish brown ■ hair and blue eyes, weighs little i more than 90 pounds and is only i four feet 7 inches in he ight. That , weight bugaboo, which has confounded so many stars of the saddle, will probably never be one of . Hank’s worries. His frame is small i and even when he fills out, as is : natural, the added weight won’t bo much. He had his first racing exi perience on the Western half mile

BOXING CARD ' NEXT FRIDAY The d ie of tlie next boxing card ■jin this city is Friday, July 15, and ! it promises to li - the It st one eve "staged In the city. Tur/.an Hicks, a | fax rite with the local runs will meet Big Boy Cox, of Cincinnati in the main go and this bout will provide plenty of th ills as Cox undoubtedly is the best man Hicks has aiet In any of his engagements in this city. Cox is a 210 pounder and from 11 reports packs a mean | w allop. p lly Conrad, another local scrap- | per will meet Doyle Gu dn-r. Gardner met Hicks in tlie la -1 fight here and displayed some teal fighting ability. Tuffy Burkhend will fight Don Clint If the latters hand Is in shaft} and if not will meet another fighter. Kid Smith meets Kid Witters] anil Bull Montana Ravi will battle , with Battling lAnderson. Elton Ari idler. Pleasant .Mills will fight Diek j Par ish. Little Blondy Everett will J ] meet Kid Durbin and Wliitey Evere:t will tattle with Diek Durbin. One of the big attractions on the card will he a battle royal between 4 to t! c lored boys and this promis-- no end of excitement. This is the third out door fight staged here -jnd if the att ndance war ants it Snedeker stated today that tie will bring The Jamioca Kid ' her ■ to fight .Hicks on the next card ! I Tit Jamioca Kid scored a knock-1 : down over Jack Jtempsey in the ; training camps and is a scrapper of Hie big times. Admission'prices will remain the >i me as before and a large c ywd should turn out for tlii | affair. Camden May Change Name Camden.

1 tracks a little over a year ago and his success began almost imme--1 diately. He is a great little rider and experts of the turf predict a brilliant future for him. “Pete” Bostwick, long famed as an amateur steeplechase rider, has been piloting his own horses over the Eastern tracks. Only recently he engaged in a stirring stretch duel with the veteran professional jockey Mack Gamer. “Pete” emerged victorious and his riding caused prominent horsemen to predict that he would soon be one of America’s leading jockeys. Bostwick intends to continue riding in both flat and steeplechase races. He intends buying more horses so that he will be sure to have plenty of mounts. He now has a half-dozen or more flat racers and some star jumpers. Perhaps these two will soon be giving track followers some riding duels reminiscent of the early davs of Sande and Fator. Coiarrl*t.

Slashing of governmental costs | held precedence today in the spec-j ial session of the legislature over proposals to raise new revenue. Os the 36 hi'Ls presented in the first day’s session, only two provided for new forms of taxation. Following unusually swift action during the opening day, both houses today delved into new measures designed to ease the state’s tax i burden One bill, introduced by ' Senator J. .Clyde Hoffman, Indianapolis, was reported favorably from committee and was ready for sec!,ond reading. The bill would em- • power budget-making officials to re--1 duee whatever salaries they saw fit and abolish whatever offices 1 tl-.ey deemed necessary. It was reported by the finance committee. ’; The opening day's session saw a • j concerted attack in both houses ion pubic officials’ salaries, the S three-mile gravel road law and the 1 allocation of gasoline and auto license funds. Sixteen of the pro--4 pcsals dealt with these issues. • j A favorable report on a bill that r would allocate half of the gasoline tax and ha’f the auto license fees [to the highway commission and the remainder to counties, cities ami - towns for retirement of road bonds i was vlrtua ly assured by the house l ways and means committee. In I debate over the bill, the committee ! considered only how much should ! go to each of the local units. 1 Under present regulations, the j highway commission gets threefourths of the gasoline tax' and all

JACK SHARKEY, the man who once openly declared that it was not in the fistic fates for him ever to be heavyweight ehami pion of the world, now holds the title. For eight long, lean years Jack i stalked down the fistic trail and during those eight years he experienced emotions and “breaks” which fall to the lot of few fistic luminaries. At one moment he > would be riding the crest of the wave, with the world singing his I praises for some worthy fistic feat, . 1 and the next he would be in the I doldrums and “on the pan” bei cause of a poor, listless fight. He 1 ] became notorious as an “in and s outer,” a temperamental fighter in l i whom one would be foolish to .! place confidence. He cried in vic- | tory and stormed in defeat, j And now, when he is getting on 1 i and when much of the glamour of * i the game has dimmed for him, he i ' finds himself wearing the ermine j and purple of pugilism. s ! And the decision which gave him the title has created more fuss and squawking among the experts and 1 fight fans than any official ruling
