Zenzo Shimizu was scheduled to play Phil Bettens of California at 3 o’clock today, and fans looked fer another good battle. In Tuesday's play Sanders of St- Paul gave the Jap a good fight, but Shimizu’s ability to return everything sent over the net finally won him two straight sets, 6-4, 6-3.
Garland’s showing In the meet so far has led some to believe that he will go to the finals. Today he was to meet Kuhler of Cincinnati in a 4:30 match. Garland won over Barr of Dallas Tuesday in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2. WestbrocK, the Conference champion. remained in the play.

Two Chicago players, Lott and Rosenberger were to fight it out in the other match. The men’s doubles were carded to start today with one of the feature matches, the first on the bill, when Garland-Hardy met Tilden-Weiner at 2 o’clock.

LEONARD BACK IN OLD GRACES OF GLOVE FANS New York Ring Followers Forget Mean Things Muttered Last Week. HE’S A REAL CHAMPION By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, July s.—Such a beautiful thing as the friendship between Benny Leonard and Rocky Kansas had to be sacrificed yesterday to satiety the aching heart of the world’s lightweight champion. Because the fans said nasty things about him after he had lost on a foui to Jack Britton and because he had been 6neeringly referred to as a "good fighter” several years ago, Leonard had to go out and clip his little playmate on the chin. In forcing handlers of Kansas to toss in a sponge in the eighth round yesterday in Michigan City, Leonard showed that he is still Just about as good as he was and wants to be. Leonard always has been better than Kansas, but smart business men in the ring hesitate to knock off a good card when they figure him to be worth a return fight. Leonard apparently reached the point where he decided a continuation of the LeonardKansas firm to be unnecessary. So he bumped off Rocks'. Forcing Kansas to quit isn’t being done every week in the year. The Buffalo lightweight is one of the toughest fighters in the ring and when Leonard put him out he showed that he isn’t the helpless victim for Lew Tendler, July 27 at Jersey City, that many thought a week ago. MURPHY WINS AT TACOMA Tommy Milton Second Only Six Seconds Behind Winner.

Milton was only six seconds behind the winner at the finish. Murphy drove a Murphy Special and Milton a Leach Special. Roscoe Sarles in a Duesenberg was third, Jerry Wonderllch in a Duesenberg fourth and Harry Hartz in a Duesenterg fifth. The time of the winner was 3 hours, S3 minutes, 65 3-5 seconds.

DOPE RUNS TO FORM AND LEONARD IS STILL CHAMP Kansas Makes Gama Showing, But Suffers Lots of Funislunent. MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., July 5. It usually happens that way—the champion gets the long end of the money and the contender gets the short end and a smashed mush and a broken bone or two. Dope ran true to form yesterday afternoon when Benny Leonard, champion, of the lightweight boxers, scored a technical knockout over Rocky Kansas of Buffalo in the eighth round when the latter's seconds tossed in the sponge. Net result: Leonard gained all of the honors, and, better still, perhaps, from his point of view, the money, and the beaten man gained a terrible looking face and a fracture of the left forearm, received in the third round. The fight ended in the eighth with Leonard slamming away at his man with a great deal of vigor and the hapless little fellow from the upper part of the Empire State defending himself as best he could, which wasn't much. Leonard is a champion. Rocky Kansas is Just a great, little, willing fellow of the highest type of gameness He has beaten Lew Tendler, but as a boxer of the wonderful Leonard type, well, there can be no argument. Benny has it on him a dozen ways and then back again. In the eighth round there was some doubt among the spectators whether the sponge or the police stopped the fight. In any event Kansas was out on his feet. His second threw in the sponge to prevent further punishment. Almost at the same moment the police jumped into the ring with the same intent. More than 20,000 watched the contest. Physicians Bald today it is probable that Kansas will be unable to box again for at least two months as a result of his fractured arm. AT MEMPHIS. Tenn.—Pal Moore of Memphis and Sammy Mandell, Rockford, 111., fought eight rounds, with ringsiders differing on a decision.

Pitchers Who Cheat Hurt Own Chances and Team’s BY EDDIE ASH. Amateur and semi-pro hurlers who resort to freak-delivery pitching are not only hindering their own advancements in baseball but are turning otherwise good games .into farces and cheapening the victories of their teams. Several semi-pro hurlers in the State ranks are said to be guilty of using the outlawed tricks when they get in tight places, and last Sunday it was reported a hurler with a prominent local independent amateur club tried to puzzle opposing batsmen with an assortment of spltballs, emery balls and shine balls. An umpire bossing an amateur or semi-pro game Is not invested with the authority of an official in organized league baseball, and when he accuses a pitcher of using freak deliveries life is made miserable for him if the hurler suspected happens to be with the home team. Several Indianapolis umpires who work in State games say it is almost Impossible to enforce the rule against freak balls if the home pitcher happens to be the guilty party. The home crowd naturally sides in with its pitcher and of course the ball game soon is ruined because the hurler usually decides he can get away with anything under those conditions. How to curb the evil is a problem. Victories so gained are plain "steals.” Stick to the rules, managers. Better to lose a game now and then with a "straight” pitcher than to win a string of games with a “cheater” in the box. You are fooling only the foolish.
LEE DEFEATED BY JONES Local Welter Fights Gamely, but Visitor Wins Decision. Frankie Jones of Louisville won a referee’s decision over Bobble Lee of Indianapolis. In ten rounds at the Ft. Benjamin Harrison open air arena last night. The men are welterweights. Buck Crouse of Louisville lost to Spike Kelly of Indianapolis. Kelly was given the decision at the end of ten rounds. The boxers weighed 142 pounds. Jones was too clever for Lee. A left jab followed by a series of rights and lefts to the face and jaw kept Lee helpless. In only the 'ourth round did the Indianapolis boxer show any thing like the class necessary to meet a fighter like Jones.

INDIANS HOME THURSDAY FOR TOiEDOSERIES Tribe Closes With Colonels Today in Double-Header Attraction. EVEN BREAK ON FOURTH By Times Special LOUISVILLE, Ky., July s.—Two more battles with the Colonels today and then the league-leading Indians will hustle for home to take on the Toledo Hens in a series opening tomorrow. Jack Hendricks was highly desirous of grabbing the twin bill this afternoon and he had his Tribesmen fired with the old determination. The Indians got an even break out of the July 4 double-header, winning the morning game, 8 to 3, and losing the afternoon contest only after a bitter struggle, 6 to 5. Harry Weaver hurled the morning affair and Shea and Bartlett the afternoon contest. The Hendricksmen nearly won in the afternoon fracas, despite the fact that Tincup was in rare form on the mound for the Colonels and gave up only five hits. Getting five runs on five hits is unusual, but the Indians were able to do it because Tex Covington got a home run in the third inning, after Baird and Sicking had drawn passes. The other two Tribe markers came in the eighth. The Colonels scored twice in the first inning and four times in the fifth. Shea was driven out of the box in the fifth. Eddie Brown contributed the fielding feature when he made a great catch of Acosta's drive in the first inning of the second game. AT MICHIGAN CITY Dennis O’Keefe knocked out Eddie Welsh in second round. Harold Smith beat Jimmy Kelly in eight rounds. Ad Wolgast beat Jack O’Toole in eight rounds.
