NEW BATTING SPREE BY CARDS DEFEATS RED TAIL ENDERS CINCINNATI. June 2. The slugging Cards went on another batting spree at Redland Field, Wednesday afternoon and defeated the tail-enders In a most noble fashion to the tune of 10 to 4. Rixey was hit hard from the Ftart and finally had to retire In the sixth In favor of Napier. Rixeys finish came when five straight hits drove him to the showers. Haines pitched good ball for the Cards and the Reds could do little with his delivery until the ninth when they started a rally that scored three runs for them but came far from being a game winning rally. Haines received wonderful support in the field trom his teammates, especially from Lavan. who cavorted around the short field with much speed and skill. He cut off many hits and handed the ball around to the other inflelders like a rifle shot. Kopf ran him a close second making several pretty plays, but his chances were only half as many as the opposing shortflelder. The Score. CINCINNATI AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

IDLENESS PROVING IRKSOME FOR CHAMP; EVADES ADMIRERS A ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 2. Jack Dempsey today began to show in-

of his enforced four dayB of idleness. The heavyweight champion is becoming more fretful because of the inactivity at his camp and is eager to resume his conditioning grind on Saturday, which will be continued without further interruption until he finishes training for the defense of his title against Georges Carpentier at Jersey City, July 2. Despite the fact that Jack Kearns, manager of the champion, placed his training paraphernalia under lock and key before he departed for New York Dempsey could not resist the temptation to go on the road yesterday, it became known today. The champion left camp secretly and alone, returning 40 minutes later dripping wet with perspiration. He had covered between five and six miles. Dempsey is showing a marked aversion towards the numerous visitors that appear at his camp daily. Yesterday he was called on the teleplwme by some theatrical friends, who taid they were coming out to entertain him. As soon as he hung up the receiver, Dempsey jumped in his automobile and drove away from camp. He did not return for several hours. The title-holder broke his silence on the possible outcome of his fight July 2. when a friend asked him point blank if he would knock out Carpentier. "I have a hunch that I will," laughingly he replied, "and if I'm feeling good that day, the fight will be over ) inside of four rounds." Later on Dempsey was asked what he would do if Carpentier landed flush

on his jaw like he aid against joe Beckett, in England. "I guess I'd

have to resign, too," smiled Dempsey. "But he has not hit me on the chin yet." RICHMOND KIWANIANS DEFEAT INDIANAPOLIS INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 2. The Richmond Kiwanis club proved to be too much for the Indianapolis Kiwanis club on the baseball field and they dropped the game to the visitors by the score of 7 to 0, ednesday afternoon at the Riverside diamond. The visitors hit the offerings of Avery to all corners of the lot including two home runs. The Richmond batters collected 16 hits during the contest but could not bunch them to any Kreat extent getting only seven runs. Mowe, on the hill for the visitors, pitched wonderful ball, keeping the six hits that the locals connected for well scattered and allowed only one man to reach third where he died when the next batter popped up a fly- ' Hitting honors were divided be-v-tween Mowe.

LEAGUE HEAD GIVES REASONS FOR BATTING RAMPAGE THIS YEAR NEW YORK. June 2. President John A. Heydler, of the National league, has set forth a number of pos sible reasons for the unusual amount! of heavy hitting in the major leagues this season, but he does not claim that any of them is the right one. "I doubt if any one can give a thorough, satisfactory explanation for the heavy hitting," he said .recently. "I have been asked that question a hundred times since the season opened and have listened to as many alleged explanations, but as yet have failed to find a concrete reason for the deluge of home runs and extra, base hits. Ruth Influences Play "To begin with, the attention turned to Ruth by his home run hitting last year set all ball players swinging with full power instead of chopping or trying to wait out the pitcher. The result is that when they connect, an extra base drive develops if the ball eludes the fielders. "I think that the ball itself also enters into the problem, although the makers have stated repeatedly that its construction does no differ materially from that of 1920. I have noticed that the hide covering the ball appears to be stretched tighter and that the thread used in sewing the seams is drawn so tightly that it does not protrude over the cover. "This makes for a more solid and ; harder ball, which, when hit cleanly, j is certain to travel faster and to a ; greater distance than would be the'

case with a more loosely packed sphere. It also gives the pitcher less opportunity to secure a satisfactory grip on the ball preliminary to throwing his curves. New Balls a Factor "Still another reason is probably the constant calling for new balls. The least sign of roughness or discoloration is usually cause for tossing out the ball and the injection of a new one. "This results in the pitchers being obliged to constantly handle new balls with their smooth, glossy surface, which cannot be gripped or curved with the same effectiveness as a used and roughened ball. A clean ball is also easier to see as it comes up to the plate and, all in all, the batter i3 having the better of the breaks at the present time. "I am inclined to think, however, that with the coming of real hot weather pitchers will work better and regain, to some extent, their mastery over the batters who have been on a rampage since the beginning of the season." SAY CARPENTIER CARRIES HAYMAKER MANH ASSET, N. Y.. June 2. Sparring partners who have entered the ring for workouts with Georges Carpentier, declared today that Dempsey's chances of Winning over the French boxing champion were extremely precarious. Jack Goldberg, a welterweight from Panama, who received a bit of punishment in the stable arena yesterday, declared he had never seen such a powerful right hand. "It will fool anybody," he said.

And as for epeed, Carpentier has "the twentieth century limited looking like - a 'farm tractor." 4 , Sam McVay, a negro heavyweight, who has known Georges since he began his ring career, bore out the statement concerning the strong right ami, and emphatically predicted that Dempsey would experience unconsciousness on July 2.
