MARTIN’S IMPROVED EYESIGHT MAY AID HIM (LEFT! THE WAY MARTIN FIGHTS TODAY, HEAD BURIED AND EYES SLANTING UPWARD. (RIGHT) THE WAY HE FOUGHT BEFORE. CHIN UPWARD AND EYES DOWNWARD.
Bob Martin lost sight of the heavyweight title for a while. But he’s bac': again and sees the goal ahead as plainly as ever. This is the first true story of Martin’s decline In the heavyweight division. There was a time when ha was considered the logical man to meGt Jack Dempsey—the one man who had a chance to down the Utah Mauler. Then, after beating Frank Moran so decisively, Martin took on Fay Keiser, a mediocre light heavyweight of Cumberland, Md., and received as neat a licking as any pugilist ever stood up under. It was noticed on that night. Sept. 5, 1921, in Baltimore, that Martin’s chin was pointed upward and Keiser hit him "on the button" again and

LEAGUE TEAMS HOLD THE SAME POSITION THRU DAY OF SWAT
In a day of baseball upsets In which some players covered themselves with mud and Ken Williams laid on a little more glory, all teams In the major leagues maintained their positions. Williams' feat of knocking his twenty-ninth and thirtieth homers In the sixth inning of the Browns’ game against the Senators was the outstanding feature of that 16 to 1 slaughter. By winning, the Browns kept from being overtaken by the Yanks, who likewise won, 4 to 3, by a ninth-inning rally against Ty Cobb’s kittem
again. Martin showed one thing—that he could take a licking. The licking he took was so severe that he spent the next week in bed. When he got out of bed he started for the next room and ran Into the door. His manager, Jimmy Bronson, was worried. "What’s wrong with you, Bob? Can’t you see?’’ he asked. "I don’t seem to be able to see straight ahead,” said Bob. “I can see down and up, but not on a level." Eye Doctor Puzzled Bronson hustled him oft to an oculist. The oculist worked on him for three months with indifferent success. Finally Bronson thought he'd take another flyer with Bob and wired for him to come on to New Vork from
HENNESSEY’S FEAT STARTS SOMETHING IN WINDY CITY
By EDDIE ASH | Indianapolis finally has forced ChiI capo to squirm and admit the Hoosier j Capital City is not just an overgrown j Hoosier town. j Johnny Hennessey’s feat of invad--1 ing the Windy City and carrying off j the Western tennis singles championship as well as a sh.are of the doubles laurels, has caused Chicagoans to realize it is not so much after all. Fact of the matter. Hennessey’s' feat got under old Chicago's hide and now the sport enthusiasts there are clamoring for something to be done i about it. They want their youth taught : tennis. A movement has been launched with ! the development of better tennis ! among Chicago boys as to the end in | view. Suggestions have been made j that means be found to employ inj structors of the net sport. Attention I has been called to the fact that there j are fifty golf Instructors In Chicago i to one tennis instructor. Johnny Hennessey of Indianapolis started something in the Windy City that may prove the making of Chicago as a tennis stronghold. Cactus Cravath. Sherry Magee, Yip Owens. Henri Rondeau and other names familiar to American Associu- | tion fans grace the score cards at Washington Park this week. The old vets who refuse to wear out are back with us again piloted by Pongo Joe of Minneapolis fame. The old diamond warhorses are accompanied by enough young blood to keep the proper pep in the team and the Cantillon crew Is staying up in the race.

Rogers Hornsby, Cardinal ace. - muffed a fly Monday and the error resulted in the defeat of his team by the Braves. And the defeat prevented the Cards taking the lead In the National League. Rogers surely will hear from that error again if the Giants happen to beat out the Cards for the pennant j by one game. Pillette, Itetroit’s star flinger, was a victim of Babe Ruth s bat Monday. The huge Yankee got two doubles and two singles. The day was not without hardship to the Babe, however. His slugging rival, Ken Williams, cracked out two home runs in one inning. President Tom Hickey is kind to the Brewers. He let Myatt and Lear off I with SSO fines for their run-in with Umpire O’Brien last Friday. It looked as though Myatt had more coming to him than a mere fine. He did everything hut get arrested. Well, well!

PENNANT GERIUI IS WORKING Oil ST. LOUIS FIS Mound City in Restless State as Two Teams Fight for Flag. By Vnited News ST. LOUIS, Aug. 8. —A strange and potent little germ Infests this town, causing people to remain out late leaning on the cigar counters studying the score cards. The Browns and Cardinals brought this bug home from the more prosperous baseball cities. People can't sleep for remaining awake to wonder if one of the St. Louis ball team mightn't win a pennant this year. St. Louis hasn’t had a pennant since 1888, when the town was about half its present size and a.ll saloons had two drinking compartments. Chamber of Commerce Protests. It was not the normal business of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce to address Commissioner K. M. Landis as it did. protesting against a transaction in polished ivory between the New York Yanks and the Boston Red Sox which gave the Yanks Joe Dugan and Elmer Smith, but this I protest was a manifestation of the j baseball bug which the people of St. Louis now Inhale with their very | breath of life. The stands ore not large at Sportsj men’s park, but until this season they I have usually been quite large enough I to accommodate the joint following | of the two clubs. "Attendance, 15,000,” at the end. of | the box score, is no longer a figure at j which to marvel. Cards and Browns Divide Favor i The Browns have always been slightly more popular than the Cardinals, but baseball enthusiasm has become a sort of fetishism this year, with George Sisler and Rogers Hornsby as idols of equal influence. Perhaps the Cardinals’ pitching staff Is all shot, as it has appeared to Ibe at times of late, but St. Louis I will not believe it yet. Neither do the Browns concede the I Yanks any more chance to the pen- ' nant l*ecause of Dugan's coming. Such hopes only aggravate the rest- ; iessnesa, tho worrlment and the sleepi leseness of a population in whose j veins the world's series virus flows.

This followed his disappointing showing at the Saratoga handicap when he ran last In the field. “I probably will not ask him to compete again,” says his owner, W. S. Kilmer. "He’s done all and more than can be expected of any home.” Exterminator has the remarkable record of winning forty-three times out of eighty-three races. There is only one horse in the history of the American ring with more wins than Exterminator. His last victory, the Brooklyn handicap, set his takings above the $215,000 mark.

Ken Gets Two in One’ By United News ST. LOUIS, Aug. B.—Ken Williams. the slugging outfielder of the Browns, established what is believed to be anew record for home run hitting here Monday when he crashed two over the right field fence in the sixth inning.

Monday's additions bring Williams' total up to thirty and puts him in the lead in the spectacular race for four-ply honors he is making against Rogers Hornsby.
WHITE FINDS I PUNCH 111 HIS ‘USELESS’RIGHT Barrett Found It for the Count in 2 y 2 Rounds Monday Night. By HESRY FARRELL. United Dress Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Aug. B.—" Left hook” Charley White of Chicago has found a right hand. The discovery perhaps wdl be of Interest to B. Leonard. With a right duke that previously had been considered a disgrace to a good glove, White knocked out Bobby BajTett, Philadelphia. In the third ! round last night. White, by polishing off a green youngster in half the time it took Lefty Lew Tendler to do the trick, can demand another championship fight with Leonard. Getting it, however is different. Barrett never had a chance with White. He was Jolted all over for two and a half rounds with hard left hooka to the Jaw and within three seconds of the end of the th.rd round he was put down for the count with a right to the jaw that went over almost too fast to be seen. The system of using a double count nearly caused a repetition of the first round between Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard when no one at the ringside knew what had happened. The in- | cident brought out the fault of the i system and gave the promise of a real situation in some big important fight ; j if the system isn't perfected. The count when Barrett went down | was given by three men—Referee , Haley, the time keeper and the count- j er. Haley counted to ten and then stooped over and picked Barrett off I the floor. The bell rang and Haley iet him fall back on canvas. Barrett's comer yelled that he had been saved by the gong and White's handler's howled that the fight was over. Haley didn’t know and a consultation had to be held between the throe officials when it was decided that the three minutes had not expired.
