American Race Tightens As Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland Teams Spurt

MAD DASH FOR LEAD POSITION IN HOT CHASE Three Clubs Threaten Browns and Yanks as Scrap for Top Rung Rages, TIGERS AND SOX MENACE Spokemen in Fifth Place, Running Wild With Ten Straight Victories. . Before the St. Louie Browne and New York Yankees know what It's all about, the White Sot. Tlgera and Cleveland will be upon them, expanding the present bl-partlte battle for the leadership of the American League Into a five-sided fight in which the least of these may amount to most. The Tigers gave the Yankees a severe scratching at the Polo grounds Wednesday' and the Browns lost to the Athletics in Philadelphia. Sam Jones, one of the soiled aces of the Yankees' pitching staff, was dropped on the floor after five Innings while Herman Plllette, Ty Cobb’s young stir, went all the way for Detroit. Shocker Defeated Again In the Philadelphia game. Urban Shocker, who was twice whipped by the Yankees in the recent series between the Yanks and Browns, was thoroughly whipped, allowing a dozen hits. The victory Wednesday was the Tigers' eighth win of the present eastern trip. The White Sox now stand only two and one-half games behind the Yankees and the Tigers are but one game to the rear of the Sox. The Browns lead the Yanks by a mere margin of one and one-half games, so that only five games stand between the Browns in first place and the Tigers in fourth. Cleveland Keeps Winning The Cleveland Indians, too, have been maknig a wild race to overtake the pack. They won their tenth consecutive victory when they whipped the Senators in Washington. The Cleveland club is a game and a half astern of the Tigers at present and six and one-half games from the Browns. In the National League the pace set by the Giants is being met stride for stride by the Cardinals who are still but little more than half a game from the champions. - - ■ ■■■ INDEPENDENT AND AMATEUR BALL Indianapolis Red Sox will play at Maywood Sunday.

Babe Ruth Has Terrible Time When Young Pruett Pitches

PRUETT (LEFT) IS THE ONLY PITCHER WHO CONSISTENTLY MAKES BABE RUTH (RIGHT) TIE HIMSELF INTO HITLESS KNOTS.

By BILLY EVAS'S Babe Ruth is the greatest slugger of all times. No one questions the right of Ruth to that title. His homerun record of fifty-nine circuit drives for the season of 1921 will live for years. . - In his day Dan Brouthers was one of the game's greatest batsmen. Dan is now employed at the Polo Grounds. Recently after Ruth had a hit a long drive I remarked to Dan: “Could any of the old boys outslug Ruth?” “Seme of us could hit ’em pretty hard.” said Dan, “but Ruth has it on any slugger I have ever seen. That bird Isn’t human." But the Babe Is human, after all. A rookie pitcher has proved it. I have reference to Herbert (Shucks) Pruett of the St. Louis Browns. Pruett is a left-hander. Two years ago he was pitching college ball at the University of Missouri. Pruett certainly has been poison to Ruth. The Babe has faced Pruett ten times during the prepent season and has not obtained anything resembling

RIVALRY GAMES FEATURE AMATEUR BASEBALL CARD Girls’ Tr ims to Meet Again in Half of Double-Header. Owing to the rivalry that has been existing a number of years between the Indianapolis Bleaching Company and the Bemis Bag baseball teams, the Indianapolis Amateur Baseball Association today completed arrangements to book these teams at Pennsy Park on Southeastern Ave., Saturday, July 22. The game will be called at 2:30. This game will be supplemented by the rubber contest that will be staged by the Indianapolis Glove Company's “Beef Trust” Girls’ team vs. the Garfield Park Recreation Girls’ baseball team, better known on the south side as the Garfield Midgets. The Midgets were defeated oy the “Beef Trust,” June 11, by the score of 15 to 11, and the "Beef Trust" suffered its first defeat of four years' play at the hands of the Midgets, June 25, by the score of 10 to 9. These girls play the game in a manner that is profoundly surprising to the average fan. An,admission of 25 cents will be charged to the game Saturday to help defray expenses of the' city championship teams in the A and AA classes while participating in the national championship series.

SCANDAL TALK IN EAST AIMED A T PADDOCK MARKS

By HENRY FARRELL. United Preti Sport* Editor. NEW YORK, July 20. —So many running records are being broken that the prophets are looking through the glasses and predicting the day of the nine-second sprinter. Charles Paddock, the fastest thing on human legs, says the limit of speed at one hundred yards has not been reached. He expresses the opinion that the distance will be covered some day in 9 1-5 seconds, but It never will be done in nine flat. While there is no doubt that the present day athletes are becoming more and more proficient, it must not be overlooked that practically all of the running records broken this year were due to the adoption of the tensecond watcnes. If the gossip-carrying waves move Eastern talk across the continent to the Pacific coast. Paddock knows that a champion sprinter is not immune to the knocks that are directed at other champions. During the intercollegiate championships at Boston recently, one of the critics said that some “trick starting" had helped Paddock make all his records. He charged that Bob Weaver, then president of the A. A. U.. was doing the starting, and that ha lat'

a safe hit. In ten trips to the plate against Pruett the Babe has reached first base only twice, then by grace of bases on balls. Os the ten times Ruth has faced Pruett the Babe has struck out seven times. In most cases there have been few called strikes. Babe has taken a healthy cut and missed. On oni trip before Pruett, Ruth hit a weak roller tp the pitcher. Pruett - is the type of pitcher that worries Ruth. First, he is a lefthander who doesn’t use much speed. That is always a troublesome combination for the big fellow. Secondly, Pruett has a most remarkable fadeaway ball, rivaling that of Matty’s when “Big Six” was at his best. Ruth has batted against fadeaways most of the time when facing Pruett. Unquestionably Pruett’s performance of fanning Ruth, baseball's greatest slugger, seven times out of the first ten he faced him. is a pitching feat that deserves a prominent plaec in the records.

Paddock get away at will and then pulled the gun. No one who saw Paddock perform at the Olympic games doubts that he was the world’s greatest sprinter at that time. If he has gone back, he might be beaten now by Alfred Le Coney, Murchison, Scholz, or some of the other speed merchants. However, a defeat now or at any time in the future would not mean that his records were “funny.” One of the most pleasing bits of news came recently with the announcement that the University of Washington will send its crew back to the intercollegiate rowing championship next summer. The same supporters who contributed $7,500 to send the crew to Poughkeepsie this year, promised to kick in with the same sum next summer making it assured that the funds will be available. Form students didn't like the way the Washington eight rowed at Poughkeepsie this year and they went far enough to criticise the style of the Navy crew. However, as Jim Rice, the veteran Columbia coach says: “The main idea is get there first. How you do it. is not much.’*

TRICK OF FA TE BEHIND COME-BACK OF RUSSELL By EDDIE ASH Out of baseball and stamped “through”; back at work In a factory with a baseball career apparently closed forever; a few years later returned to the big leagues as a high-class performer. Thus reads the record of Reb Russell of th;s- city, who a few days ago was sold by the Minneapolis club to the Pittsburgh Nationals. Baseball’s most remarkable come-back, writers have agreed. Russell, a star pitcher a few years ago with the White Sox, broke down as a hurler because of a lame ami. Costly treatments failed to remedy the defect. Reb went to work In an Indianapolis auto plant. The Indianapolis club decided to take a chance and. Russell was signed and used in right field. But his arm continued bad and he failed to hit. He was released and back to the fabtory he went. Later In that season the Minneapolis team 7 was here for a series and outfielder Rondeau broke a leg sliding into a base. The Millers were up against it. They did not have an extra man to use in Rondeau’s place. Manager Cantillon called on Russell and induced him. to play. He agreed to try again, bad arm and all. He started to hit and soon his batting average grew to such proportions that his poor throwing arm went unnoticed. The next season his throwing arm showed signs of recovering strength and It was not long until Reb was throwing In average fashion. This season his arm has developed greater Improvement and he has maintained a high batting average. Perseverance, determination, practice and a sudden twist of fate combined to put the Rebel back In the big league. * # • If any one kftows of a sudden cure for slumpltls a big sale can be obtained by communicating at once with the Indianapolis ball club. • • • Tillie is not a name to Imply fence-busting abilities, but nevertheless Tillie Walker is the new home-run leader In the American League. • • • The golf crown hardly had got fitted to Gene Sarazen’s head before promoters launched plans to get him in a match with Walter Hagen. American promoters never sleep.

CRAMPED LIFE RESTS HEAVILY ON YANK TEAM Strain of Being Good Apparently Has Played Havoc With Huggins’ Nine. BY WESTBROOK POOLER, United Newt Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK. July 20.—1f the results of recent games be the reward of the virtuous life, perhaps the New York Yankee ball team ought to fall off the wagon. Since the team was convened In the clubhouse at Boston to be lec- ; ured by Commissioner Landis on the virtues of spring water as a constant tipple, the record of the champions has read like the report of a falling market. Pruett Causes Strain They were given a chance to overtake the Browns here at home, but the strain of being virtuous, combined with the strain of reaching flor Hub Pruett's fadeaway bail, was a little too much*to ask. So the Browns went away leading the league still, and along came Kldf Gleason with his staff of young and old employes, taking three games in a row from the grudging dabblers in what Commissioner Landis called temperate living. Yesterday tho Tigers came to town and took a fall out of the locals. Leading their lives In their own way, the Yanks at least gave expression of their true worth and tempera ment aa a ball club. They went' as they pleased a year ago and won a pennant. Everything on Schedule Living by an arbitrary and perhaps ton irksome schedule of hours, diet and diversions, they have done no better for their standing in the league than they Were doing before they were so severely tut-tutted by the Judge. Perhaps th*e new restrictions have made life monotonous for the Yankees and dulled their interest. Out of Women’s Tourney NEW YORK, July 20. —Cable ad vices have been received from England that Miss Elizabeth Ryan of California, who haa been playing in Europe for several years, and Miss Kathleen McKane, the young English star, will be unable to come for the women’s national tournament.

VETERAN RATES TENDLER EASY ( FORCHAMPION McAuliffe Predicts Leonard Will Stop Awkward Philly Boxer in Bout. By JACK M’AULIFFE, Former Lightweight Champion. (Written for the United Press.) NEW YORK, July 20.—Along about the middle of the eighth round next Thursday night Lew Tendler is going to be counting the stars in the Jersey skies after ten seconds have been counted over him. Benny Leonard, if I am any Judge, is going to win that fight by a knockout and it may come before the eighth round. Not In Benny’s Class Tendler has no right to be regarded as having enough stuff to beat Leonard. He has an awkward left hand style, he can't box, he can’t hit effectively any place but around the foul line, and he doesn’t know enough. There’s nothing wrong with Leonard. He hasn’t gone back. He has had two hard- fights under his belt recently, while Tendier’s only recent . work was a soft bout with Bobby Barrett. Has Met Southpaws Before Leonard will not be bothered by Tendier’s left hand fighting because he has fought Southpaws before. The champion has two good hands and Tendier’s right is useless. Looking over the records, who has Tendler beaten? He has been on the floor many times. He has made poor showings against second raters while Leonard, when he was In the mood, has beaten every good man In the class. The weight making has nothing to do with it. A. B.
