Tennyson might paraphrase himself to this extent: "Break, break, break on my poor old Jaw —oh gee! “And I would that my tongue could utter what Joe Jacob* must think of me.” The sight of Galento. fat and awkward, floundering about the ring and missing punches by a mile, might very well bring forth this bit by Shelley, a slight steal on bi* own ode to the skylatd: “Hail to thee, blithe Tony; “Fighter you never wert. ‘‘Better thou atayed in Jersey. “Behind thy mother'* skirt.” Longfellow, at about the same time, undoubtedly would file something like this to the paper that had engaged him a* a special correspondent for the night: “I'nder the spreading referee "The Jersey barkeep stands. “When thia protection i* taken away “I'pon hl* face he land*.” Frank Stanton, who would hum a* he worked, might contribute | these line*: “Fattest little fellow “Everybody know* “Don't know why he's fighting “'Cause he lak' to never rose."

After counting the bouse, with Its 8350.000 gate and 20 per cent I cut for the loser, the author of the original form of this (or someone ] i looking over his shoulder! might ' write: “Ti* belter to have fought and < lost "Than never to have fought at I 1,11 Held as Dual Slayer S \1 1 jfl li Held aa the double slayer of hl* 43>year-old woman employer and hl* 73-year-old father-in-law.

FELLER HURLS I ONE-HIT GAME ' IN NIGHT TILT Averill, ex-l'eammate, Obtains Lune Hit Tuesday Night New York. June 29 <U.R) Paul Iterrlnger. Frank and the Cincinnati Reas all came out of the ether with a l>ang. ending three slumps which had the Rhinelanders looking worse than Tony Galento giving Imll room dancing lessons The Giant a brought back talea I from the weat that the Reds didn't have any heart and were quitters, but the men of Bill McKechnle mad* thoae yarns seem questionable by th* way they ended their four-game losing streak. They knocked the Pirates off. 4-u. and held their four-game National i league lead Intact. Derringer, about whom many stories have been circulated since i he loat a lawsuit for 95.W4. proved his recent lapse of form wss only i temporary. Some were saying I Derringer was worrying himself sick over the debt hanging over him when he was batted out of the box three times In a row But ! yeaterday'a four-hit performance I gave the lie to that assertion. It I was No. 9 for Derringer. McCormick, clean-up man In the Reds' attack, had made only one | hit during Cincinnati's four-gam* i losing streak and only three hits In his last 24 times at bat. But the big iirst liaseman proved his I slump wss only temporary when I he got “4 for 4." driving in four runs with hla 12th homer and ’ three singles The Cardinals and the Giants kept their distance behind the Reda by winning.
