East Chicago Is ;11 5et today for the

first real championship boxing contet-t ,

irhich has been held In the city and the , Yr.fi nagement of the arena h.'ivc made all arrangements to take care of the large crowd which besan to arrive early this "morning. The box office opened at nine o'clock and there were a number who wt re waitins before the window to get v the first chances at the bleacher seats. Hot dog and near beer stands were ready "f A do business and prepared to serve lunches to those who came before noon. ,v This is what might be considered East Chicago's first championship bout. There have already been two champions per- - form in the arena but in both cases Uieir opponents were not logical contenders for the championship while in today's right there seems to be a fair chance that Moran may score a knockout and thus win the lightweight crown. ; I'rankie iIason,.the flyweight champion - and Pete Herman, the bantamweight jjhumpion are the other two title holders 5t;to have fought at East Chicago. TT"Une of the Chicago newspapers has ""jrlade arrangements to have an extra of the fight on the streets by the time the iL&Cht fans return from Chicago and were tflis morning installing , wireless ) "telephone apparatus through which to 'transmit the story. The same motion ; picture company- w hich took pictures of TT; Pempscy-Miske fijcht will also be on ", job and film the two lightweights in action. With the seating capacity increased bv two thousand, making a total of

.13.000, the management is expecting to j have the arena filled just about to ; capacity. The advance seat sale to last i niKht had been abnormal and in East t

Chicago particularly the sale exceeded by several times the number which has ever been sold for a previous contest. It is hard to predict what will bo the ' u-tcome of the main bout for both the battlers ere confident of their ability to win. but Leonard, being the champion, is a little the favorite in the bet''tingr. His fighting ability together with ' his greater experience carries great weight among the fight fans and although Moran is admittedly "fast and a ' F-od fighter he will enter the ring against odds.

NEW YORK. Sept. 25. Babe Ruth or alderman, for mayor, for president if he wants it. That's the way the New York ball fans felt about the battering Baltimore boy when he unloaded two home runs at the Polo grounds yesterday, his fiftieth and fifty-first of this season, the ninety-ninth and one hundredth of his four years in the major leagues. IIumIch to Eroape Mob. Ruth had to cut loose and run like a hare after he scored the winning run in the ninth inning of the second game. He had to leg it across the field to get away from the thousands of fans who tumbled out of the stands and chased him to get a good close up look at the greater hero baseball has ever introduced. Both Ruth's home runs yesterday were made in the first innings. How

ever, they railed to aid the New tors Yankees in their almost hopeless chase after Cleveland and Chicago. The Yankees were only able to break even with Washington, losing the first game, 3 to 1. and taking the second, 2 to 1. Ruth's double in the ninth inning of the last game was his fourth hit of

j the game, and he reached third on an , error and scored the winning run on Pratt's single. Ruth made a homer.

and two singles off Shaw.

Five games in all are scheduled and the Giants must win every one of them, as well as a pair of contests scheduled with the Braves if they win the winner. Brooklyn needs two victories to make certain that half of the world's series will be played at Ebbets field. The American league thrill tapered off some today with the news that Cleveland had handed Chicago a setback. It

now is impossible for the Sox to go InI to the lead in the oresent series Anr!

SOX DVEREAGER; TRIAL HURTS PLAY

CLEVELAND. O.. Sept. 25. Unquestionably the grand Jury investigation in Chicago, full reports of which are printed in Cleveland newspapers, have had their effect on the White Sox. It has made those of them who are not under suspicion, mad. but over-anxious, as shown by Ray Schaik"s failure to make an easy out on Sewell stealing second in the second inning yesterday, and by Eddie Co'.lins' striking out on a bad ball in the fifth, when a base hit or even another base on balls would have broken up the game. One of the players yesterday voiced the opinion that the statement by President Johnson of the American
