BIG CROWD SEES BOXERS PERFORM

O'Dowd and Wallace Win Feature Bouts at Fort, Red McDonald, Toledo lighweight, will meet Pete Mackerson of St Louis in the main go at the fort next Wednesday. Sidney Glick, Indianapolis, and Louie Lavelle, Anderson, probably will be the headliners of the Aug. 7 show. More than 2,000 fans crowded into Ft. Benjamin Harriscn open air arena night to see the weekly boxRng show While the main bout in * which Mickey O’Dowd of Muncie received the referee’s decision over Johnny Lucas of 9t. Louis was a whirlwind affair, what the crowd wanted to see was Roy Wallace. Wallace, the Indianapolis middleweight, former national junior amateur champion, entered the ranks of the professionals when he met Billy Starr of Cincinnati in a scheduled eight-round affair. • What Starr knows about boxing, If anything,*the crowd did not learn, for Wallace sparred with him a few seconds, jabbed him twice and then drove in a short hard right to the jaw. Starr saw stars and a few moons, feis feet left the floor and he hit the canvas in a heap. Captain Wilson counted ten. O’Dowd earned his decision over Lucas, having the better of the first, third, seventh, eighth and tenth rounds. Lucas’ rounds were the fourth, fifth and ninth. The second and sixth rounds were a draw. The first prelim was the best, Tony Dalton of Indianapolis getting a decision over Johnny Wilson in four rounds. Tbe bout was a real scrap from start to finish. Eddie Dennis knocked Darius Dorschel down a couple of times and won a technical knockout when the referee stopped the bout in the second round. K. O. Conners, substituting for Bobby Hahn, who was ill, was given a referee’s decision over Jimmy Trout fcgter four rounds. Both are Indianapolis boxers. TEX HOLDS CONTRACT OF BENNY’S TO BOX WHITE ’Nother Purse Looms for Leonard— Monday’s Receipts Announced. Bp United Xetcs NSW YORK, July 25.—Benny Leonard, who received $161,108.15 for forty-five minutes’ of fighting -with Lew Tendler Monday, will get a chance to earn at least one more big purge before being forced into retirement by the lack of competition. Tex Rickard holds an old contract of Leonard’s to fight Charlie White of Chicago, and the bout may be another great money maker for Leonard, as White once knocked him out of the ring. White will insist that Leonard weigh publicly If they meet. Leonard and Tendler weighed privately for both of their bouts. The Leonard-White fight probably will bp held between Aug. 25 and Sept. T. For taking his beating Monday Tendler will be paid $99,269.50. Each fighter’s purse will be reduced, however, by his respective manager's share, believed to amount to onethird, and by taxes. The paid admissions Monday were 53,815 and the gross receipts, including amusement taxes, $438,933.

Crack Amateur Golfers Tee Off in Title Play for Western Honors

MORVICH RETURNS 10 OLD FORM 111 SARATOGA TRACK Champion Two-Year-Old of 1921 to Enter Eastern Dash Events, Bp United Financial NEW YORK, July 25. —"Morvich is ready right now to meet any horse in the world in a sprint of three-quarters of a mile.’’ That is the opinion of his owner, Benjamin Block, just as it was stated at the Empire City track after Morvich had completed a training run in preparation for the Saratoga sprints, in some of which he will be entered. The great son of Runnymede and Hymir, outstanding champion of the 1921 2-year-olds and" winner of the 1922 Kentucky Derby, looks as fit as he ever did. Getting away to a quick break, Morvich swung into that long effortless stride for which he was famous ‘in his early races. He stepped the first furlong in 11 2-5 seconds, the quarter in 22 3-5 seconds, the threeeighths in 34, the half In 46 2-5 seconds and the three-quarters in 1 minute 12 4-5 seconds.

sites THE PLAY When a player la injured on the ball field, calling: of time by the Umpire invariably results in an argument. Here is a peculiar \ play that came up in an American League game The batsman hit to the shortstop who made a bad throw to first base. The first baseman in an effort to make the play went far up the line, colliding: with the base runner at about the time the ball struck his glove. So great was the force of the collision, runner and fielder were rendered unconscious. The runner was thrown over and beyond first base, but failed to touch it. The ball rolled Into the Infield. It was recovered by the pitcher, who rushed over to where the batsman was lying on the ground and touched him with the ball. It was apparent both men were badly hurt. The crowd was yelling for the umpire to call time. What was the proper way to handle such a play? • ~ THE INTERPRETATION There is nothing In the rules that gives the umpire the right to call time before the completion of the play. Consequently when the pitcher recovered the ball and touched the runner there was nothing for the umpire to do other than call him out. It would have been the same if he touched first base, tlnco the batsman had missed It because of the collision. If time was called for an accident, regardless of the completion of play, players frequently would feign Injury when it would work to their advantage LESLIE IN GOOD SHAPE Local Colored Heavyweight Threatens Damage to Tut Jackson. Jack Leslie, local colored heavyweight, threatens to ‘‘punch the ears off” of Tut Jackson, Ohio colored mauler, in he main event of the colored Shriners’ fisticuff show at Tomlinson Hall Aug. 9. Leslie is working out daily at his home training quarters and at Douglass Park each Sunday morning. Leslie has a big following here and he will be heavily backed to put the skids under Jackson. The all-star colored show arranged for Aug. 9 will have three bouts, each probably of ten rounds’ duration. The official complete card soon will be announced by Promoter How ; ard. ~ *— •' Bridges and Bud Redelle Bobble Bridges, local welter, will meet Bud Redelle of Terre Haute in that city in a ten-round go in 3. fight show Friday July 27. Bridges has been working at the Pennsy shops and boxing daily.

Study Your Clubs Before Using ’Em By Mike Brady Western Open Champion MANY golfers don’t know the power of the different clubs they carry, as related to their own game, and are constantly puzzled as to what club they should use for a certain shot. Some, when they come to a shot which they thing ought to be a mashie, but which they think is too far for their mashie, will take a midiron and try to let up -—*****— on the stroke, or else will take a wooden club | where they ought to take a midiron and do the I In letting up on the stroke they fail to hit the ball firmly and in consequence, a great percentage I of the time, make a fizzle of the shot. My advice is for a player to give his different clubs a thorough testing to see about what they will do for 15 A good way to do this is to pick out some spot -j on the course which often has perplexed him; say, a spot on some hole where his drives frequently go and which has a carry over a bunker or some hazard to reach the green. Let him take a dozen balls and try the shot with a midiron, then perhaps a jigger, if he carries one, and after that a mashie. Experimenting in this way he is reasonably certain of hitting three or four balls, at least, out of each dozen in a way that should give him a pretty definite idea of what each style of club is good for in his hands. Or again he might pick out a short hole and try different clubs on that. There’s nothing like possessing a reasonably accurate knowledge of one’s power with the different clubs, not only because there generally is a right and a wrong shot, bu; because when a man has found out by experiment about what he c*n do, he faces a shot with a much greater sense of security.

SLUGGING TEAIVIS GO INTO ACTION AT TRIBE PARR Much Hi+ting Promised as Blues and Indians Clash in Series Opener, The ‘‘Battle of Bats” was on this afternoon at Washington Park —K. C. Blues vs. Indianapolis Indians. With both teams boasting of several sockers of the heavy variety, the opening contest of the four-game series was expected to attract a large weekday crowd to the Tribe lot. The Blues are not far removed from the leading Saints and they have a hunch they're going to Improve their position during their stay in Indianapolis. Tribe Is Confident On the other hand, the Tribesmen feel in fine health as a result of turning in a good road record, and they feel capable of doing a ilttle stepping out themselves. Bunny Brief, home run king of the A. A., is the chief mauler here with the Blues. He has twenty ' Circuit swats to his credit this season. Other trouble makers wearing the Kawtown uniform are Wright, shortstop, who is slated to graduate to Pittsburgh; Hammond, second base; Manager Good, Beals Becker and Roth, And others, of course. Our Own Sluggers But while dwelling on the fierce hit ting boys of the Blues, it is well to rememuer the Indians have E. Brown. Chrlstenbury, Krueger, et al. At any rate this series offers Indianapolis fans an opportunity to turn out and Boost for the home boys, if Indianapolis fans intend to turn out at all this season. The club won one more game than it lost on the road and deserves encouragement. Indianapolis is supposed to be a big city welj worthy of Class AA baseball rating. Is it? ; Thursday will be kids’ day at the park and the "knee pants boys will be admitted free to the bleachers. Friday will be “ladles' day.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

IF REDS FAIL TO WIN, JAKE WILL TAKE BLAME Daubed Says His Failure to Hit Has Caused Cincy to Lose Several Battles, Bp United Xeict CINCINNATI, July 25.—When the 1923 National League season closes, if the Cincinnati Reds are found below the Giants, and perhaps below the Pittsburgh Pirates, too, Jacob Daubert will rise on his spiked shoes and shout: “I’m the guyl”

In some quarters Patrick Moran, as the manager, may be blamed for not ushering the Reds into another world series. Just Another Mystery But Jacob Daubert will lean against the hot-stove league railing during the winter and point to another baseball mystery in explaining the uennant defeat of the Reds. Daubert ■will pick to pieces a batting slump of his own. In 1922 Daubert experienced the most sucessful season of his career. He had the remarkable average of .366, In his thirty-seventh year, made 205 hits, more than any time In his life, and scored the most runs with 114. Squinting through the National League batting averages recently Daubert almost had to drift down to the last line to find himself. “There’s the reason,” remarked Daubert. “Can you figure it? I can’t." Same Swing, but Fewer Hits “I’m hitting the ball just as solidly as I did last season. I have the same swing, haven’t changed my stance, pick on the curve and the fast one, but I’m lining to infielders and outfielders, hitting into double plays where last season I was getting them safe, advancing base runners and getting runs for the boys. “I can go through ’ the book and show where a hit or two in the pinch cn my part would have won at least seven games that we have lost. “What does this mean—add seven victories to o'ur pennant percentage, knock off seven defeats and we'd be out In front of the Giants.” How many players would put the blame on their own shoulders for keeping a ball club Out of the pennant race? Baseball boasts few players of the Jake Daubert type. A. B. C.S CLOSE SERIES Locals Win Two Out of Three From Cuban Stans. The A. B. C.s won their series with tb§ Cuban Stars, which ended Tuesday, by taking the final game, 11 to 10. The locals took two out of three. After splitting a double bill Sunday, rain interfered on Monday, and the last contest was played Tuesday. After the Stars had obtained a 7-to-l lead by scoring six runs In the second frame, the A.a cam? back and finally won out by scoring the winning tally In the ninth. Montalvo of the Cubans crashed out two homers and Holloway of the A. B. C.s got one. Big League Liners Babe Ruth hit his twenty-third bomer Tuesday and went into a tie with Cy Williams of the Phils for the lead. T.be Yankees scored eight runs in the last two innings, beating the Athletics. Beating the Cards, 7 to 4, the Beds gained a half game on the idle Giants. The Browqs won the first game on a homer by McManus with one on. but the Cleveland Indians took the second game on Jamieson's home l- in the thirteenth. Detroit mounted irom sixth place to the first division by taking a dou ble-header from the VYTiite Sox Tuesday. Goslin’a homer counted the only run scored oil Jack Quinn and the Rqd Sox beat the Washington Seniors.

KING WEIGH! MAY TAKE STEAM OUTOUNDEE Challenger Continues to Rule Favorite Over Criqui in Title Go, However, By HENRY FARRELL United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, July 26.—Benny Leonard, having proved that brains and speed of hand and foot are better than rugged strength and endurance. Johnny Dundee will try to do the same thing Thursday night when he attempts to take the world's featherweight championship from Eugene Criqui, the French war hep?. Regardless of -the fact that New York has paid out close to $900,000 in less than two weeks to look at boxing, great interest is being shown in the featherweight championship bout and if the weather changes and is more favorable Tom O’Rourke may be able to make some money on the show. Dundee probably will enter the ring a favorite in the betting, through sentimental reasons. With the exception of a good righhand punch that he showed in knocking out Kllbane and a game heart

that kept him plodding on and on when Kilbane was making a monkey of him in the first rounds, little i? known of the real ability of the Frenchman. Dundee is no chicken. He is well along and he has Ijeen through more than 300 fights. The question of weight is a big factor in figuring Dun dee’s chances when it will not bother Criqui at all. Dundee looked drawn when he made 130 for Jack Bernstein, and he lacked his old dynamitic style. The job of making 126 pounds, it stand’s to rea ; son, will not make him any better.
