Feature Battles on in Majors Between Rival New York and St. Louis Teams

GIANTS TACKLE CURDS, YANKEES OPPOSEBROWNS Thrilling Play Promised as Leaders and Second Place Clubs Clash. CAMES EAST AND WEST Gotham Fans Not Sure Yanks Obtained Better of Deal With Boston. By United Press NEW YORK, July 25.—Two important battles for the lead in the major league pennant races were to start today between St. Louis and New York teams. With the slim lead of less than one full mathematical point, the Giants were to open the most important series of the year In the National League with the St. Louis Cardinals here this afternoon. Eighteen points behind, the New York Yankees were to make tneir second attempt within a few weeks to regain the American Leagns lead from the St. Louis Browns. Giant's Pitchers Slumping With a badly crippled team and a slumping pitching staff, the Giants are In a less strategic position than the Yankees. Threatening weather prevailed in New York for the opening game. One game is to be played today and tomorrow with a doubleheader Thursday and a single game Friday. While the Yankees paused to play an exhibition with the Reds in Cincinnati Monday the New \ork fans made quite a mystery of the deal with the Red Sox which gave Joe Dugan and Elmer South to the \anks. The temperamental Mr. Dugan is conceded to be a better third baseman than Mike McNally, the substitute who has been doing Frank Baker s work at third. But he is no great hitter this season and the champions, once noted for their slugging ability, are now in need of hitting strength. Elmer Smith is bel.eved to be inferior to Elmer Miller, the outfielder sent to the Red Sox in trade for him. and the Yankee outfield is filled now with men who would seem to outclass Smith. Big Lead Cut to Virtual Tie The New York teams have startled the inmates of their own home town by their recent performances. The Giants had a s.x game lead over the Cardinals a month ago and now are Just about tied for the lead with the St. Louis team after relinquishing first place for one day. The Yankees' long winning streak on their last Western tour was not quite counterbalanced by what they achieved in their recent stand at home, for they broke just better than even, winning nine and losing eight. The Brooklyn Dodgers appear to be hopeless. They went west In third place and lost thirteen out of sixteen games, dropping to sixth. Wilbert Robinson’s recruits demonstrated that they still need seasoning and that ball games will be lost in the process.

TRIBE IN FIE ERST BE SERIES WITHBREWERS Indians Head for Minneapolis Following Last Battle Today at Milwaukee. By Times Special MILWAUKEE. July 25.—The Indians were up and at ’em again today after talking it over Monday and deciding that, they were going to win the pennant or know the reason why. The Tribe from Hoosierdom was anxious to take the tilt today before traveling up to the Twin Cities for important series with the Millers and leading Saints. Hendricks expects plenty of opposition from Joe Can tillen’s team, which appears to be get- 1 ting together again after a disastrous | slump. The Indianapolis leader thought he j would shoot Weaver at the locals today. Bigbee or Pott was to get the assignment for Clark's club. LUQUE. CHAMP HARD-LUCK PITCHER, PURSUED BY JINX ; Reds Fail to Bat Behind Good Twirling of Cuban. Adolfo Luque, Cincinnati's Cuban pitcher, is leading all the hurlera of . both major leagues—in defeats. But Luque also is pretty near the leading hard luck pitcher of the big show. He's pitching for a club that is hat- : ting mighty well this year and scoring a lot of runs. But the Reds seldom make runs for i Luque. 1 He has been shut out twice. His team has made only one run in five different games he has started. In five others his club made two runs for hint. All told. Luque lias pitched 144 in nings for the Reds this year and yielded sixty-three runs, an average of not quite four runs a nine-inning game. He has pitched eight games in which he hold the other team to three j or fewer runs a game, but of these he has won only one At the time these figures were compiled only one National League pitcher—Ruether of Brooklyn—had pitched more ball than Luque, and Ruether had worked just one more inning. Batting is not the only place in which the Reds have failed Luque. Ho has been taken from the box a few times this year when ho would have stuck It out and probably have won had not his mates booted the ball behind him. A. B. C.s-BACHARACHS TODAY Colored Clubs Close Series with Hub her Contest on Card. The A. B. C.s and Bacharach Giants ’ were to close their series today at I Washington Park.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

By United Press NEW YORK, July 25.—Back from the land of the peso and the southern double-cross, Rough House Ware, the incurable negro heavyweight gladiator, addressed himself to a triple order of pork chops smothered ] in chitt’lin's and also to Senor Luis Firpo. the Argentinian heavyweight champion, who lured him to Buenos Aires as a sparring partner. With apologies to the true hind leg of the hog, Brother Ware made bold to call Senor Firpo a ham fighter, and other things. “That boy done promise me 200 of them pesos a month an' board and; keep,” Brother Ware complained.j “Told me the peso was like $2.80 ini our money. I gets my 200 pesos ali 1 right, but they’re worth 45 cents j apiece, and I didn’t get a square meal j all the time ah was away. He kept j me hungry, but that’s all the keep Ah did get. And I can lick him, too.” i Brother Ware stowed away on the J i Muneen liner, American Legion, and j presented himself to the captain three days out. He was assigned to light duties in the stoke-hold, chaperoning tons of coal from the bunkers to the grates. JONES TO MEET WALTERS Welterweights to Clash in Main Go at Ft.

SALE OF BALTIMORE STARS MAY CAUSE BIG SCRAMBLE

| By United Press | NEW YORK, July 25. —Decision of ! Jim Dunn, Baltimore boss, to sell i three of his star ball players this winter, Will cause a mad scramble of the majors to the auction block. The Giants offered $150,000 for two of them last winter and were turned down. Such a price leaves about I three clubs in the running—the Giants the Yanks and the Cubs. Brooklyn and Ph.ladelphia wouldn’t even pay enough to look at them. Commissioner Landis would do the game some real good if he would suggest that the deal be completed on a player-player bas.s, with the Giants remaining out of the bidding. Baltimore is now making the third ; runaway race for the International ] | League pennant, because Jack Dunn j was able to gather and keep a team of ; almost major league caliber. | Dunn refused to sell or trade and j ] he was finally forced into breaking up , his combination by the threat of the ! other clubs to bring back the draft j over his veto. Several big-time pilots at the last winter meetings said all Dunn’s men i were vastly overrated and that they | would not be able to make the grade when they tried the big stuff. Dunn might get a terrible shock when he j goes to sell his stars.

The colored boxing card at Tomlinson Hall Monday night had three ten- j round bouts scheduled, but none got ; beyond the fifth ringing of the gong. In the headliner Jack Blackburn, | middleweight, quit in the fourth after ! finding that a come-back was not so easy for an old man. Panama Joe Gans showed good stuff and Jack, j who at one time was about the best ; at his weight among the colored battlers. was forced to give up in the fourth, after taking many of Gans' body blows. One-Round Bess, the Indiana Ave. bantam pride, received a set-back when ! lie met Billv McClure of South Bend. Bess went down for good in the fourth after being knocked down once in the first and twice in the third. Another Joe Gans. with California before his name, knocked out Young , Jeffries in the fifth. It was Gans' fight all the way. They were lightweights. Howard Wiggam refereed the main go. and Stewart Donnelly the prelim . lnaries.

I Jack McAuliffe, the old retired, un- ' defeated lightweight champion, says that Benny Leonard was rusty more than anything else in his fight with Jack Britton. After the showing he made in beating Rocky Kansas, McAuliffe can’t see where Lew Tendler is going to have a chance to win the championship when ; the two meet in Jersey City. Leonard knows too much for Tendler, in McAuLffe’s opinion. * "The champ has fought left handers before and he knows how to meet their game,” he said. Walter McCredie, late deposed manager of the Seattle club, asks for stimulants every time he thinks of the $175,000 that the San Francisco club ' got for Willie Karam and Jimmy ! O'Connell. McCredie sent up to the majors ■ Roger Peckinpaugh, Dave Bancroft, I Coveleskie, Vean Gregg, Tom Seaton, 1 Charley Hollocher and Bill Steen and he didn't get $25,000 for the bunch.

LEOIRD LOOKS - IN GREAT Till FORjiING CO Benny Seems Drawn to Edge of Perfection as Tendler Fight Nears. By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. BUDD LAKE. N. J., July 25. Benny Leonard’s prospects in his fight with Lew Tendler on Thursday night for the lightweight championship can be summed up shortly and sweetly: The champion looks right and he acts right. Drawn to the edge of perfection, tanned by three weeks of the outdoors and pepped up to a million, Leonard looks better than he has at any time in the past three years. His mechanics are improved 50 per cent. He has the old spring and catlike grace in his footwork, he has his former judgment of distance, and timing attuned to perfection. He is punching hard with both hands, and, above all, he is strong, although he Is down to fighting 'weight. He looks every bit worthy of title that he carries and his perfect. Outside of the ring he iumes the attitude of Indifference that is misleading until he Is seen in the ring with his sparring partners. Leonard never did worry and he Is still following the policy of allowing any troubles to rest upon the shoulders of Billy Gibson, his m. Most of the critics figure that Leonard Is going to be in for a rough evening against Tendler, but the champion laughs at the suggestion. Somebody Likes Tendler NEW YORK. July 25.—Charley White, C.iicago lightweight, says Lew Tendler is a dangerous fighter and will beat Leonard if the champion is unable to keep him from inside fighting. WILSON IS REINSTATED Johnny, Back in Good Graces of Commission, Challenges Greb. BOSTON, July 25.—Johnny Wilson, middlekeight, under suspension for six months for running out of a contract to fight Harry Greb, Monday was reinstated by the Massachusetts boxing commission. Wilson then challenged Greb for the light heavyweight title.
