Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, July 4,—The prize fighters aren’t doing right by July the Fourth any more. There was a time when they looked upon the historic date not, only with Vast reverence but with an eye to mounting box office receipts. But that day has gone.

Only one championship was on the cards for today and it has been postponed until Thursday night by the promoter. It is a minor bout. Tod Morgan and one “Cannon Ball” Martin are to fight in Brooklyn for what is called the junior lightweight championship.

f Williams

Until Signor Fugazy persuaded these two youths to get in there and do their stuff, a surprisingly large percentage of the peasantry did not know there was a junior lightweight champion. This is what Is meant by the phrase of where Ignorance is bliss. Still, it probably will be a very ! fast fight for the fiftten rounds and very stimulating to those who find it possible to obtain stimulation in this manner. In spite i of the fact that a junior lightweight champion will be defending his title it may be a great l fight. a a a I HAVE little patience with these trick titles, and, judging by the lack of enuthusiasm manifested by the left hook worshippers they have even less. And besides it’s hard, enough to work up a fair i.mount of enthusiasm over the legitimate title holders these days. In the old days the Fourth used to be a favored date for important fights, but in recent years little use is made of it by our patriotic promoters. Tex Rickard, for one, is now against any and all holiday dates, and particularly Independence day. Still, in the past Rickard has been known to tempt the holiday trade. Probably no promoter tempted it more. Among other records he crowned two new heavyweight champions in commemoration of all the beautiful principles July the Fourth stands for. tt a ft The first one was Jack Johnson at Reno in 1910 when the giant Negro crushed Jeffries in fifteen rounds, and the other was Jack Dempsey at Toledo nineteen years later when the man who was to become known as the Manassa Mauler and the great gate god of the ring massacred Willard. a a a T SEEM to recall that Rickard’s A first effort to elevate the noble science of beak-busting was on a holiday. This was when he brought Gans and Nelson to Goldfield in early September of 1906. That picturesque battle in the hills ended In the forty-second round with the White man fouling the Negro. Rickard also came close to a holiday in the promotion of his first battle of the century. He missed the Fourth by a matter of fortyeight hours. It was on July 2 Jersey City saw its biggest fight day when Carpentier faced a Dempsey he couldn’t have beaten with a hammer. Women Athletes in Olympic Tests ■ ■ - # By United Press NEWARK, N.

Spanish Girl in Finals of London Play Senorita D’Alvarez Defeats Australian; Hennessey in Doubles Victory. BY ROBERT C. DOWSON United Press Staff Corresnondent WIMBLEDON STADIUM, July 4. —Senorita Lili D’Alvarez of Spain won the right to oppose either Miss Helen Wills or Miss Elizabeth Ryan, American survivors in the women’s singles of the all-England tennis championship, when she defeated in the semi-final today Miss Daphne Akhurst, champion of Australia. Miss Wills and Miss Ryan will clash later in the day for the right to meet Senorita D’Alvarez. Miss Akhurst fought entirely on the defensive. Occasionally she retrieved well, but Senorita p’Alvarez’s speed and courtcraft were overwhelmingly, especially when she went to the net. The Spanish star’s baseline drives often went out. George Lott and John Hennessey, American doubles team, defeated E. F. Moon and R. O. Cummings of Australia, 6-1, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3, and thereby entered the semi-final. They will meet Henri Cochet and Jacques Brugnon, French stars, for the right to appear in the final.

Giants Revives Interest in National League Chase

Cards’ Lead on Fourth Means Little as Race Tightens. YANKEES FAR AHEAD New York Americans Face No Opposition. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 4.—An old baseball adage has it that the two clubs which lead the major league pennant races on July 4 also will be found in first place on the last day of the season. On that basis, the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals, world series rivals of 1926, who lead

their respective leagues today, will put on their baseball circus again in October, 1928. Enjoying a tidy lead of thirteen games over the Philadelphia Athletics, the Yankees seem certain whinners in the American League. Wall Street is betting 10 to 1 the Yankees

win. r The St. Louis L> Benton Cardinals, however, enjoy no such margin in the National League and are anything but certain winners. A three-cornered battle between the Cardinals, Giants and Cubs seems highly probable during the dog days of August and Setpember. Pirates Came Through iiast year the Yankees and Pirates were out in front July 4 and, although the Pirates hit a snag in August and dropepd as low as third, they came back to win the pennant and meet the Yankees in the world series. In 1926 the Yankees and Cincinnati Reds were ahead on July 4. The Yankees remained in the lead, but the Reds failed to make the grade finishing second to the Cardinals. The astounding comeback of the New York Giants during the past week has revived interest in the National League race. Just when it seemed that the Cardinals had securely lodged themselves in first place, the Giants, with John McGraw back at the helm started a sensational winning streak against the Phillies. Winning eight straight games while the Cardinals were playing lackadaisically, the Giants moved within striking distance of the leaders. To Face test The Giants will face their acid test on their second western invasion, opening Thursday at Pittsburgh. They return to the Polo Grounds, July 24, to meet the western clubs in their second eastern invasion. For almost the next two months the Giants will be battling the strong western clubs. McGraw is optimistic, pinning his faith on the fighting spirit of the Giants and their strengthened pitching staff of Larry Benton, Joe Genewich, Vic Aldridge, Fred Fitzsimmons and Bill Walker. For a time in June, it looked as if the Giants would go to pieces. Ed Roush attempted to stir up mutiny among the players before leaving the club. McGraw recovered from his leg injury Just in time to take hold of the situaion and bring the players to their senses. The Roush incident was smoothed over and all seems to be well again in the ranks of the Giants.

Local Nines Play at Tribe Park

Four strong local nines were tc see action in a double header at Washington Park today and the followers of each were expected to turn out in goodly numbers. In the first tilt, starting at 2 o’clock, the Advance Paint team was to battle the Hillside Christians and in the second conflict the allpowerful Indianapolis Power and Light club was to tangle with theformidable Riversides. There is much diamond talent included on these clubs and rivalry was worked up to a high point between the teams that were to meet. The Power and Light nine, well managed and well organized, are established as the city champions ANNUAL REGATTA By United Press CHICAGO, Jifly 4.—Seventy-three yachts were to line up this afternoon for the Lake Michigan Yachting Association's annual regatta.

She Plays a Swell Game

THE reproduction shows one of the star baseball pastimers ol Blanford, Ind. He happens to be a “she” and her name Margaret Gisolo. The recent sensation and “scandal” in the American Legion junior baseball tournament was centered around the performance of Margaret who aided the Blanford team in defeating the Clinto, Ind, nine. The contest went into the twelfth inning and Margaret smacked out a clean single to send home the winning run. Clinton promptly protested, claiming the use of the “female” second sacker was a violation of the rules. Robert Bushee, State athletic director. passed the protest on to Dan Sowers, director of the national tourney, who ruled that Margaret was eligible to play. The game was ordered replaced. So Margaret camped her person on the keystone sack for the Blanford Cubs once again, and the Cubs plastered a 5 to 2 defeat on the Clinton Baptists. Miss Gisolo played a steady game and accepted the only chance which came her way. a sensational stop of a hard-hi* grounder. So now the Blanford Cubs will play in Terre Haute Friday for the championship of the fifth district with the winners of the Vigo County tourney.

Al Tyson Badly Hurt; Leg Injury May End Career Bn United Press NEW YORK, July 4.—Outfielder Tyson of Brooklyn is lost to the team for the season and .perhaps for all time. The player received a broken left leg Tuesday when he collided with Outfielder Bressler while erasing a drive off Travis Jackson’s bat. Both players were stunned and the drive went for a home run. Physicians said it is a bad fracture of the large bone above the ankle. Bressler was uninjured. Tyson went to the majors from the Louisville team, joining the Giants. Later he went to Buffalo and then to Brooklyn.

Double-Header Winds Up Indians’ Series With Colonels; Win Tuesday Swetonic Hurls League Leaders to Victory, 5 to 3: Betzelites Perform in Kansas City Friday.

Bu Times Special LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 4.—lndians and Colonels were to end their series here today with a double header and it was believed that about 5,000 fans would take in the struggles between the ancient natural A. A. rivals. The Tribesmen have an off-day Thursday to give them time to pack up and travel to Kansas City where their second swing of the year will begin around the western half of the circuit. Steph Swetonic held the Colonels off Tuesday while the Indians bumped the Colonels, 5 to 3, and iL was the third victory of the series for the league leaders. The Betzelites won two Sunday, went home Monday to meet the Pittsburgh Pirates In an exhibition tilt and then returned here Tuesday to resume action. Rally In Sixth The Indians were on the short end of a 2 to 0 score Tuesday in the fifth inning, but they rallied and evened the count in the sixth In the seventh the Betzels marked up another run and then chasec* two across in the eighth. Louisville launched a rally in the ninth, but tallied only one run. The Indians poled twelve hits to nine for the Colonels, and played errorless ball against two “boots” for the home pastimers. It is evident a splendid defense is playing an Important part in keeping Bruno Betzel’s athletes on top in the A. A standing. The Colonels had it “on” the Indians last season, but It’s a different story this year. And many fans are beginning to shout for Manager Bill Meyers’ scalp. On Road Until July ii. The Indians will perform in Kansas City, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis before returning to Indianapolis July 21 to battle the Colonels again. Opinion is divided on the subject of the loss of Erwin Brame by recall to the Pirates and the return of Bill Burwell. Brame looked good in this league and the western clubs doubtless are singing gleefully now that the Indians won’t have his assistance when they invade that territory. Oh the other hand Burwell may decide the Indians have a bright

chance for the pennant and try to uncork some of the form of previous years. It is felt he didn’t get a thorough trial at Pittsburgh and for that reason it is evident there was some money connected with the deal if he had been retained longer by the Pirates. One story says Indianapolis asked $15,000, the services of Brame outright and the use of Comorosky all season. That explanation sounds logical since It known Manager Bush is friendly toward Burwell, and no doubt would have given him a better chance if coin wasn’t Involved. Haney and Comorosky each compiled three hits as the league leaders downed the Colonels Tuesday. Holke was caught at the plate in the second inning trying to score after Ganzel's catch of Layne’s fly. The Louisville left fielder made a perfect peg. Spencer was robbed of a hit when Olivares made a leaping catch of his line drive in the fifth. Indians and Colonels have met nine times this season and the Hoosiers have scored six victories. Minneapolis walloped St. Paul Tuesday, 7 to 3. Zahniser was knocked out of the box in the fourth. Jimmy Zinn registered his fifteenth victory of the season Tuesday when he hurled the Blues to a win over the Brewers. Luce and Adams crashed home runs off Jimmy in the fifth. First Baseman Kuhel returned to the K. C. lineup after a long absence due to illness. He got two hits. Bob Veach got four hits in five efforts Tuesday and led the Toledo attack against Columbus.

Toronto Pug Defeats Ross by Knockout McKenna’s Weight Counts; Crowley, Brown in Feature Next Week. A couple of mismatched bouts at the Ft. Harrison arena Tuesday night spoiled what started out to be a fine card. Both semi-windup and windup battles brought together fighters who were far from being in the same class. Jack McKenna. Toronto, won from Tony Ross, Pittsburgh, in the sixth round by a technical knockout. Ross substituted for Bobby Williams and put up a game exhibition. The little Italian gave away a lot of weight. Tony Knocked Down McKenna’s sole asset was a terrific wallop, and he put Tony on the canvas twice in the third, twice in the fourth and when Ross went down in the sixth Referee Grammel did the correct thing in halting the scrap. The semi-windup, staged after the feature scrap, brought together Bobby Signac, a little fellow from Benton Harbor, Mich., and Charlie Shine, Indianapolis. Shine had a big advantage in height, reach and weight, but was outboxed at every turn and Signac won The Times’ verdict by a wide margin. Chuck Templeton of Sullivan shaded Kid Woods, Indianapolis, in a good, fast six-rounder. There was plenty of action dished out. Tulsa Lad Wins Cherokee Kid of Tulsa won easily from Kid Nacho of Mexico City in a six-round engagement. The Indian had the Mexican on the floor four times in the second canto. Roy James outpointed Kid Vic in the four round-opener. Both hail from Ft. Harrison. Next week the card scheduled for last Tuesday, but postponed because of inclement weather will be put on. Tommy Crowley, Pittsburgh, and Buster Brown. St. Louis, are to meet in the feature.

Featuring the e*rd was to be the final men’s singles battle, in which Julius Sagalowskv, runner-up to John Hennessey last year, met Tommy Wilson, Butler captain. The match promised to be evenly-fought, with a slight advantage to "Sag.” "In the men’s doubles. Bob Lang, Garfield Park star, and Tom Markey, Notre Dame captain, faced “Sag” and Wilson in the championship match. John Hennessey teamed with Breck Kipp to win last year’s laurels in this division. Bob McCullough was expected to give Jack Roberts good competition in the junior singles final, and paired in the doubles, the two were doped to win from Emmett Lowery and Jean Demmary, Tech stars. Boys’ titles were to be decided when Bruce Johnson and Jack Ytile met in the singles, and Johnson and Cornelius Holloway met Ralph Brafford and Joel Inman, in the doubles. The program was scheduled to get under at 2, and faced probable postponment as the result of rain this morning. There was a chance, that the matches could be played today.

Women’s titles were decided Sunday, when Katherine Wolf won the singles for the second time, defeating Muriel Adams in the final match, and Miss Wolf and Thelma Stever won the doubles crown from Mrs. Dorothy Stephenson Stout and Denice Kurzrock. .
