Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK April 25.—'The cables sing of the exploits of one Manolo Bienvenaia of Spain railed the Gene Tunney of the toreadors because of his studious and gentlemanly qualities. But not because of the manner in which he plies his craft. The cables tell of anew world record he set. that of slaying six bulls with one stroke each. I judge that this is par for the course. Possibly it is even better than par. a a a There is nothing to indicate that the bulls were set-ups or that the performance accredited to the illustrious Don smacked In any way of the “in-the-bag” tactics. His record in this respect is beyond the slightest criticism. Apparently he is a regular champion. tt tt a faIC.NOH MANOLO BIEKVENDIA DOES NOT NEED A COMMISSION RULING TO GOAD HIM INTO ACTION ONE FIGHT IN SIX MONTHS 13 QUITE TOO I.ITTLE WORK FOR HIM THOSE WHO ARE CLOSE TO HIM SAY HE IS THE JOHN L SULLIVAN OF HIS TRADE A BULL A NIGHT. ALL COMERS, NO COLOR LINE. THE FIERCER THE BETTER—THAT IS HOW HE OPERATES u tt tt \ LSO there Is something of l\. the Dempsey about him. A swift, savage lunge and it is all over. A prostrate he-cow. Nino, ten and out! Where do we go from here. Doc' 1 B tt tt Mr. Tunney, of course, wasn't like that. He wasn't a killer. There are knockouts in his record but no one-punch knockouts. Mr. Tunney was less savage, and at the same time less merciful. He eut his man down by degrees. an n TUNNEY GENUINELY REVELED TN HIS BOXING SKILL THIS WAS TYPICAL OF HIM IT GAVE HIM A CHANCE TO DISPLAY HIS ARTISTRY AND MABTERY AND THESE CHANCES HE ALWAYS WELCOMED. HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE MUCH LESS HUMAN THAN HE IS OFTEN PICTURED IF HE DIDN T. b a b rpUNNEY says he fought his L greatest fight against Torn Heeney. He merely thought it was his greatest fight. Great lights arc measured b” the calibre of your opposition. Heeney was the most mediocre fighter Tunney ever met as a, heavyweight, barring Bartley Madden, who was nothing more than a friendly-enemy anyway. bub Tunney looked great against Heeney. He couldn't have looked otherwise. I am convinced that it was his most enjoyable fight. Against Heeney he was able to bring all his boxing genius into full play. He jabbed, he hooked, he crossed, he feinted, he stepped In and out. rolled with the punches, blocked and countered with a sure, graceful deftness. 808 IT WAS WRITTEN INTO THE RECORDS AS THE MOST FINISHED EXHIBITION OF BOXING EVER GIVEN BY A HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. AND IT PROBABLY WAS. IT WAS TUNNEY'S SWAN SONG AND HE WAS DETERMINED THAT THE MELODY SHOULD LINGER ON. THERE IS NOTHING UNPLEASANT ABOUT BEING REMEMBERED AS THE CHAMPION WHO FOUGHT HIS GREATEST FIGHT AND THEN QUIT-EVEN IF IT WASN'T HIS GREATEST FIGHT.

Old Man Bad Luck Has Clutches on Tribe and Millers Profit Thereby Indians’ Losing Streak Reaches Three When Wednesday Game Is Tossed Off in Ninth: Veteran Benton Goes Full Route. BV LDDIL ASH HPHE jinx that put his clutches on the Indians' shoulders Monday was till there Wednesday and the home pastimers were feeling a bit blue today as they prepared tc take on the Millers in the third of the series. Winning five in a row and then turn around and drop three straight has made the boys sort of dizzy, but they believe they will “come out of it” most any day. The Betzelites have been knocked down from first place to third in the standing, with Minneapolis and Kansas City tied for the top perch.

Fact of the matter a few of the

noble stickers are in an early season slump, a situation that is offsetting fair pitching. Both Layne and Barnliar? went hitless Wednesday against left-handed hurling, whereas ordinarily they are figured to produce in a big way when facing a southpaw. fhc lad from the west coast, Arthur John ißudi Teachout, stubbed his toe in the ninth Wednesday and lost a ball game that was right in his hands. The count was 3 to 2, Indianapolis, when

the Millers went to bat in the final frame and Emmer, first up. drew a walk, McMullen bunted for a sacrifice and Teachout dashed in, nicked up the phere, looked at second and then made a high toss to first, where Gorman was covering. It was Gorman’s first game

Teachout

and he was rusty and failed to get off his feet for the catch, the ball going far down the foul line. It was an easy romp for Emmer to the plate and McMullen reached third. The game was tied. Griffin was getting ready to bat for Benton, but when the Millers got that break their stomachs shook with laughter and Benton batted for himself and scored McMullen with the winning run on a long sacrifice fly to Matthews. Yoter then lined to Matty and Bohne popped to Gorman. It was enough, for the Indians failed to score in their half. Teachout allowed eight hits, fanned two and walked four. He looked good despite the defeat. B B U Ross Bctzel of the Tribe is seems the figure “4" in his sleep. K. C. brat him, 4 to 0, and ’'Minneapolis "took” his athletes 4 to 2 and 1 to 3. B tt B Monahan led the local attack Wednesday with a double and two ingles and a walk. Warstler banged out two singles and Sprinz hit safely twice. Matty got the other Tribe hit. B B B Rube Benton, -eieran southpaw knocked out in the first Innins Tuesday and came back Wednesday to eo the lull route for a victory, such as it was, but it counts. BBS Brilliant fieldiiiß held the Kelle 1 ites to two runs irr the opening round before Teachout settled. The first four Millers cracked out singles, but n good throw-in by Barnhart started a double play that helped the home nine. BBS The Indians' three runs were earned, two scoring in the third and one in the fourth. B B B Bohne went back of second in the seventh lor a great play on Sprinr Matty turned in fine work out in center for the champions. Monahan again sparkled with fancy stops of wide and low throws.

Connie Mack Has His Ball Club in Great Trim for Drive. AL SIMMONS HELPS Infield Works Smoothly: Pitchers Go Great. BV GEORGE KIRKSEV I nited Tress s>taff C orrespondent. NEW YORK, April 25.—After pursuing the New York Yankees for thsee seasons the Philadelphia Athletics apparently are on the verge of turning the tables on the world champions. Instead of the Yankees setting the pace and the Athletics playing their heart*; out trying to catch up, the reverse may come to pass in the American League race this season. The early fortunes of the race favor the Athletics. Connie Mack has his ball club in far better shape

Simmons

than the Yankees. Recovering quickly* from training camp mishaps and other setbacks the Athletics are in better shape than any other club to make the early running. Al Simmons has returned to to the lineup, swinging his bludgeon none the

less effectively for his layoff. The As infield is working smoothly with Foxx at first. Bishop at second, Dykes at short and Hale at third. The A's pitchers have exceeded all early expectations. George Earnshaw joined the winning group in his first start of the season Wednesday against Washington. Lefty Grove apparently has recovered from his finger-nail ailment. “Old Man” Quinn and Rube Walberg have demonstrated their readiness despite the fact that they are charged with the A’s only two defeats. Quinn lost a five-hit game and Walberg dropped an eleveninning contest. One of the brightest spots in the A's piay has been the work of Mickey Cochrane, selected as the most valuable player in the league last season. Cochrane’s brilliant handling of the Philadelphia pitchers promises to get the maximum out of them this season. As for the Yankees, their pitching stall: consists of Waite Hoyt' at the present time. Pipgras and Johnson have proved wild and ineffective. Zachary's work has been only mediocre. Heimach showed some flashes in the relief role, but has not started a game. The hitting has been spotty and they are far from one big, happy family. Even Miller Huggins is rushing umpires these days, which is something the mite never did when the Yankees were out in front.

Huge Grapplers Pe rfo rm Mo n day Five hundred pounds of "beef” will be represented in one of the three matches on Monday night's wrestling card at Cadle tabernacle when Bob Ellison, local Y. M. C.

Promoter McLemore is staging a trio of no time limit matches Monday. Ralph Wilson, medical student, will oppose Jack Romano, Italian, in the opening bout, which starts at 8. They arc heavies.
