Manager Mitchell of the Chicago Cubs', with whom Reynold signed up last week, would not give Jim permission to Pitch yesterday's game for Hammond against the Dodger Training, so it was tip to "Tacks'- DeLave to save the day. Although "Tacks" pitched a thirteen inning tie fame against the Union Giants the day before he was equal to the occasion and had the Dodgers catire: out of his hand the biggest part of the way. PeLave showed Mens of weakening: in. the ninth when he filled the b.ises with nobody out. but with the stage all set for a cleanup he settled down and struck the next two men out. Krcft. the next hitter, knocked a single to center which scored two runs but Kommers saved PeLave any further trouble when he hustled in with the ball and caught Gallan. the Dodgers' left f.ielder. going from first to third on the hit. This r'.ay probably kept the game from going into extra innings and it also finished one of the most exciting games of the year. "With PeLave doing the pitching it was necessary to rress "Sugar" Handy the scoreboard expert into service in right field and if you think Sugar didn't stage some come-back you're all wrong. Handy was at bet four times during the day and all he did was to g.-t two hits, go on base three times, helped Hammond to their first run when he worked a double steal with "Chuck" Rhode In the second inning, started the winning ral'v with a clean hit over third basa

in the seventh and aside from this fact j

he handled his only chance in the field with the ease and grace of a regular big leaguer. Some day for the old City Fuel outfielder and he will surely do some bag punching for the rest of the week down at Monnett's Smoke Room. Now to get back to the way the game was won and tlvn lost and then won again. her is how it all happened. In the very first inning the Dodgers started out as if they were going to srore right off the reel, but after the first man singled. Nets, who is one swell little rhird saeker, figured in the neatest piece of fielding o.f tht day when h grabbed Singer's bunt and 'after throwing him out at first hustled back to third in time to take Thompson's relay for a double

By H C. HAMILTON (United Tress Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK. July 15. Th? work or fight order seems certain to hit major league baseball. And if it dots, baseball apparently would be fixing in the face of fate if it continued. That local boards ate interpreting Provost Marrhal General Crowder's order as applying to professional bcseball is demonstrated by the recent abdication of Player Parnham of the Baltimore club of the new International league. He was ordered by his local board to seek a new occupation, and he proceeded to comply at cmee. Two men already have left the Brookln National league club as a direct result cf order. Both Zach Wheat and Hi Mvers own farms. Myers already has

Minor leagues probably will be hit first and hardest, for most of their men are jminior. Hut there Is no inclination in baseball to sacrifice the little fellows for the bigger ones. It would be possible to gather enough men under and over tli ages include. 1 in the order to make a showing, but such an aggregation would supply such a :ok combination of baseball that th public would become disgusted and stay a. way. A leaning to this plan Is already apparent on the part if several big league magnates. Tommy Leach, for

Instance, has been taken back

play on Gallan trying to go from first to third on the sacrifice. Incidentally we might indention that Thompson's peg neioss the diamond was perfect and came just in time to complete the play. (Loud applause from the bugs.) Hammond did nothing in their half of the first frame, but in the second they scored a run when Rhode singled past the second baseman, was advanced on Thompson's bunt, went to third when the Dodger shortstop fumbled Handy's. hot grounder and scored on a double steal with Sugar cn the other end. In completing his part of the play Handy overran second and was an easy out, catcher to short. Then with two men down Hudson worked Cantwell .for a pass and scored all the way from first

fence. In the first half of the third the Dodg-

j ers scored their first run on tw o clean I hits, a base on balls and an inrleid out.

De-Lave was fortunate to pull cut "f this hole, as he had the bases full with one man out and Hoiiman and Kroft coming up. PeLave. however, used his cunning and made both these men go

out on easy taps to Walliser. This was j all for the visitors until the seventh when they went into tha lead scoring ! two runs on Cantwell's clean single to j center after two runners .had reached second and third on an error by Knight t and PeLave's low peg to first on a bunt.!

BOSTON', July IS. Baseball was j classed as a nonproductive occupatlen ; IZ by the Prighton local draft board yes- i terday in deciding a test case brought"! EE by John Park Henry, catcher for the , EEj Boston National League baseball team. j5

against Provost Marshal General Crowder's "work or fight" rules. The board found that the amount of relief from war s'rain furnished by the game was over estimated by the registrant In" his affidavit and that baseball's financial contribution to the war was no larger materially than tha voluntary sacrifices of "many millions oj citizens."

All three members of the board are j S agred in the finding that baseball is a I ZZ nonproductive occupation, but one of I them. Justice Thomas H. Connelly, rec- ' EE ommends that Catcher Henry be not rer;ulred to change his occupation on the j

ground that he could not do so, "without substantial financial loss to himself and ethers." Henry, Justice Connelly finds. Is paid $7T.Q a month fe-r playing baseball and "is not qualified to take up any other occupation which, from a financial standpoint, would be comparable to the compensation he receives In his present occupation." Justice Connelly also Interprets "others" who would be financially injured by Henry's removal from the game to include not only dependent members of his family, but also his employers.

VEW YORK. July is. The stage Is all set tonight for (he biggest benefit boxing carnival ever hld in New Tork. The curtain will rie at Madison Square Gard.-n Tuesday ; U'-.t. The feature bo.jt is between Jack Dempsey of Salt Lak.- City, contender for th world's heavyweight title, and hilly Miske. th scrappy light heavywoij;M cf St Paul. The two boys have b"n in iction before, producing one of 'he e'e--.-f! battles in ring history last Srring. at St. Taut, the result being a Iran. There is all probability that they veil I go nt r?rh other with every ounce of energy ci'htr can put back of his pui!.-he. Miske is the only big fighter today who hns never been sent to his knees, but Dempsey says he is going to shatter this remarkable record. Dempsey. too. has a rather unique record. In his last

J sixteen fights be has scored knockouts, ; and on of the two men to stay the limit

with him was none other than Biliy Miske himself. Both men are here, rutting on the fishing touches to their training. Another of the battles which will prove a headlinere Is the match between Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, and "Willie Jackson, one of the topnotchers In his class. Leonard has announced that his title will be at stake in the m&tch and will fall into the hands of Jackson in case of a knockout. This is not beyend the realms of possibility, as Jackson is one o.f the hardest hitters in the game and recently handled Johnny Dundee rather roughly. Paokey McKarland is here and is expected to fight Jack Britton, but it is said he will demand some other opponent.

RESTS ill FIGHT HARD FOR SPEEDWAY PRIZE JULY 2

Driven to desperation by his failure

i to win a big race bo ,far this year. Darlo

Kesta. formerly auto racing champion, is working day and night getting his motor ready for its f.r.al test in the international Sweepstakes on the Chicago Speedway on Sunday afternoon. July 2S. Rests sent his entry to Manager Charles II. Porter yesterday with the announcement that unless ho was successful in the Sweepstakes he would retire from the racing game for all time. P.esta is believed to have the fastest

'motor fier started in an automobile. He 'designed it himself and spent all of last i year and more than $!5.C10 in its con

struction. Automotive experts all over the United States have been watching: it carefully in the belief that It would prove to be the greatest aeroplane motor ever invented. Three times Resta has started his car in big races this season. At Sheepshead

Pay a broken cam shaft put him out cvf ! the running. At Chicago in the Derby a

broken accelerator spring did the same and at Cincinnati he crushed a bearing under the terrific speed at which he was

traveling-. In try-outs Reta' motor has attained an unofficial speed equal to 117 miles an hour. There can be no question about its speed and power. But after the Cincinnati race when experts from the United States army aviation field at Dayton examined the motor they were of the opinion that it was so fast that its minor rarts could not stand up under tremendous speed. Now Resta is at work correcting; these minor defects. He is so sure cf victory that he has not hesitated in putting up his SC.OOO as a part of the purse of JIS.onn for which the drivers will compete in the Sweepstakes. It is the first time in the history of auto racing that the drivers have ever raced for their own money and where every car entered has to have a known speed of at least 105 miles an hour. Ralph Mulford and Arthur Duray are two other stars who have already entered for the race and Manager Porter is confident that hre will also gt the entries of P.alph DeTalma and Louis Chevrolet.
