Fans and Critics View Outcome of New York Fight With Suspicion
WELTER TITLE BOUT FAILS TO BE CONVINCING Strange Mix-up Ends Match and Britton Wins on Foul Blow. .. JACK HIT WHILE RESTING Leonard Rushes Past Referee and Strikes When Opponent Is on One Knee. By Henry Farrell United Tress. Sports Editor. NETT YORK, June 27. —Another one of those things has gone down on fistiana's books, for future unfolding. Perhaps some day when Jack Britton and Benny Leonard get old they will tell what happened, or what led up to the incident in the thirteenth round of their fight last night when Leonard took a swing at Britton while the latter was down, and lost on a foul. It will take a lot of argument to convince the hard-boiled among the "6.000 who saw the fight last night that it was not a fake. Britton came into the thirteenth round leading on points. He was getting tired however, and Leonard looked like he was going to win out with his big bid for the welterweight title. Leonard landed a hard left to the stomach. Britton folded his hands over bis abdomen and sank to one knee looking up at Referee Patsy Haley. Haley leaned ever shaking his head and said: “No foul.” Leonard then rushed around the referee and hit Britton. Just as this happened. Charlie Leonard, Benny’s brother, jumped into the ring from the Champion’s corner and Haley pushed Britton back to his corner, declaring Leonard the loser on a foul. “What in the h 1 did you do that for?” Haley yelled at Benny. "’He wasn't down. He had his knee off the floor." Leonard replied. Britton, after the fight, said the left to the stomach had taken the wind frorh him and he went down to take the count of nine. He made no comment about Haley's decision.

St. Paul 625 .631 .615 Indlanapolii 623 .629 .61 4 Minneapolis 609 .615 .600 COLUMBL'S, Ohio, June 27.—Taking advantage of the off-day In the western half of the circuit, the Indians Monday downed the Senators. 5 to 2, and crept within two points of the league lead. Saints and Millers, the other teams in the three-cornered fight for the pennant berth, were idle. I?i downing the Senators, the Indians did it on five hits, two less than the Columbus total. It was a pitching battle between Jake Northrop and Carman Hill and the Tribe burler got the luck of the game and annexed the honors. The Senators were erratic in the field and errors paved the way for all of the Indians' runs Only one error was made behind Hill and he twirled good ball in all but two innings. In the fifth and sixth innings Hill was found for five of the locals’ seven hits and two runs resulted. Pitcher Northrop started his own sledding when he gave the Tribe an opening in the second stanza by fumbling a grounder. In the fifth, successive errors by Maurice Shannon and Pechous were partly responsible for the four Tribe runs scored. However. hard fighting by the Hendricksmen played a big part in their victory and they made their few hits count. The Indians had a chance to grab the league lead today if the Brewers were lucky enough to beat the Saints.

Cobb After More Records | To Top His Many Feats BY HILLY EVANS. Ty Cobb holds a score or more records in the American League, The name Cobb is everywhere in the list of notable major league feats, yet Cobb isn’t quite satisfied. True, Cobb is slipping. No athlete could travel the gait that he has and not show the effects. The remarkable thing about him is that he has stood the pace so long, before the slowing up process started in. Cobb no longer goes down to first with the old-time speed. He no lor ger takes the wild chances on the bases that was once a part of his daily routine. Father Time has cut in on Cobb. He has called a slight halt at least. A perusal of the American League records show that Cobb holds about every coveted honor. There are two major league exceptions, the homerun title and the consecutive .300 batting record. Babe Ruth probably has monopolized the home-run honors for all time. His mark of fifty-nine homers is going to stand for many a year, unless lie breaks it himself. It is a record that seems entirely beyond Cobb's possibilities, despite his acknowledged greatness. The other honor Cobb is shooting at and hopes eventually to hit Is the record for the consecutive .390 batting record. That honor is now held by Honus Wagner, with seventeen consecutive years in which lie hit .300 or better. Cobb is a close second, with sixteen years. The way he is going this year makes it almost a certainty that Wagner will be forces! to share the title. In 1928 Cobb aays he will break It

DANNY FRUSH.
Johnny Kilbane. featherweight champion, has been forced out of bis state of inactivity and there is a flock of challengers after his crown. Johnny has been hiding behind the alibi that there has not been a good featherweight capable of disputing hia right to the title, but that explanation fails to convince boxing critics any longer. There is a flock of good challengers now—Dundee, Martin, Frush and Andy Chaney. Who will get the first crack at the feather belt is uncertain, but a bout is in the making and promoters are submitting offers. Kilbane has accepted one offer of $50,000, opponent to be named later.

With thirty-three players turning in cards under eighty In the first qualifying round of the Western amateur golf championship tournament it w-as expected today that it will take as low a score as 13S to land in the championship flight. The second qualifying round will be completed late today and the thirty two lowest players will then begin shooting in earnest until the final round its reached Saturday. Ira Couch, the 17-year-old Chicago boy wonder, who yesterday shot a 72, was eagerly watched to see If he would duplicate his performance. Many of the experts believed the youth will be the one to meet Charles (Chick) Evans, present champion, in the finals. Evans turned in a 76 ye3 terday, but he did not exert himself. S. Davisson Herron of Pittsburgh, former national champion, who got away badly yesterday and had a card of 78, was looked upon to better bis score today and to be well within the running.

WASHINGTON CREW FORCES NAVY TO NEW RECORD Western Eight In Wonderful Ter* formance In College Regatta. POUGHKEESPIE, N. Y., June 27. The wonderful performance of the University of Washington crew, which came out of the far'West to force the Navy, probably the greatest eight of all time, to the new world's record time of 13 minutes 33 3-5 seconds for three miles Monday, furnished all the gossip for the rowing fraternity today. Opinions were freely expressed that, had Washington been rowing together as long as had the Navy, the coast crew might well be the possessor of the title and record today. Others remarked that had the old four-mile distance prevailed Washing ton would have won anyhow. Certainly, there Is no doubt that the Westerners were coming on like a prairie storm in the final half-mile and the Navy was staggering badly. Syracuse nosed out Cornell for third place just as the shells crossed the finish line. The race between the third and fourth boats was so tight the judges had to hold a consultation before announcing the official positions. Columbia was fifth and Pennsylvania last. In the Junior varsity race Cornell won and Columbia was second.

IN maintaining its extended and thoroughly organized system of distribution, which reaches every farm in the 10 Middle Western States served, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is rendering a distinct service, not to the agricultural district interests alone, but to all the people. The importance of this service may be visualized when it is known that 48% of the wheat 65% of the oats 53% of the com 41% of the hay grown in the United States during 1921 came from this territory. The farmers of this great area (approximating that of Great Britain and Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Holland, Denmark, and Germany combined) use large quantities of petroleum products in producing this vast amount of food stuffs. They have come to depend upon the regular visit of the dark green tank wagon of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to supply their needs. Power-driven machinery is essential to modem farming operations, and it is the responsibility of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to see to it that the gasoline, kerosene, and lubricating oils and other petroleum products are in the hands of the farmer when he needs them. To render this service requires an enormous organization of highly trained men under efficient management. It requires a tremendous capital investment; refineries; bulk service stations; tank wagons; and service stations to cope with the need of supplying an agricultural area of the size and importance of these 10 Middle Western States. In undertaking the responsibility of supplying the needs of the farmer for petroleum products, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has assumed a job of magnitude and importance. Because it knows that its organization wifl not break down under stress; that its facilities will enable them to meet the demands made upon it; that its personnel has a deep mterest in seeing that every manufacturing and distributing schedule is maintained, the Company is able to guarantee an adequate and sustained service.
