RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

BUNCHED HITS WIN VICTORY FOR EAGLES ONtOCAL DIAMOND Bunching six of seven hits in three innings netted the Richmond Eagles six runs and the game against the Springfield All Stars at Exhibition park Sunday afternoon by the score of 6 to 1. The game was the best exhibition of the national pastime seen on the local diamond this season. The Springfield organization was a well balanced team and displayed some very good baseball during the contest. The score might have been different had not Fenlon, their catcher, been forced to retire from the game. Fenlon was hit on the finger when h midjudged one of Jackson's foolers, that tore his finger nail loose, causing him to retire. This accident shifted the lineup considerably, and the visitors did not. play as consistent ball. After Fenlon's retirement there punch seemed to be gone. Tight Playing a Feature. BOth teams started playing air tight ball. Springfield started the scoring by putting one over in the first frame. Miller led off with a triple to right center that rolled to the fence. Hennig drew a pass and on the double steal Knight threw the ball into center field allowing Miller to score. After the first round Hawekotte held the visitors safely. Hawekotte hurled a nice game although he was inclined to be rather wild allowing five men to reach first on Tree tickets. He also fanned five men and was given sensational support in the field. Jackson also pitched well, but errors by his team mates proved his downfall. An error by Miller in the third frame, after two men were down, allowed the Eagles to score two runs. In the fourth two hits and a wild pitch allowed-two more runners to cross the pan. He fanned six batter and allowed only five hits in the six rounds he worked, retiring in the seventh frame. Justice, Wolbert, Work Well. The fielding of Justice, centerfielder for the Eagles and Wolbert, leftfielder for the visitors, were the features of the game. Justice robbed Hennig and Gregory of hits in the sixth frame when he came in fast for Hennig's Texas leagure, just bearly reaching it. He robbed Gregory of a possible triple when he went back to deep center and pulled his long fly dow n. Wolbert robbed Justice and Knight of hits in the eighth when he went, back nearly to the fence and pulled Justice's long fly down, and Knight's line drive. Fitzgibbons also was robbed of a hit when Grosky took his Texas leaguer in after a hard run. Hitting honors went to Byrkett the husky first sacker for the Eagles. He connected for three safe blows, getting two singles and a double out of four trips to the plate. His double in the third scored two runs. Next Sunday the Eagles will stack up against the fast.

SUN-TELEGRAM. RICHMOND,

Politicians Hold Rickard Up For Big Shakedown on Fight

Bt FRAKX C ME KB It would seem that the New Jersey politicians are all "prepared" to shake, rattle and roll Tex Rickard for about every dollar that it's possible to make out of the Dempsey-Carpentier fracas. Rickard may gross a clean-up of $250,000 to $500.000 but he ll be extremely fortunate if he escapes with his dear old shirt after dealing with the political clique in the land of mosquitoes. One eminent sample is this: When Rickard was granted gubernatorial sanction to stage the affair in Jersey he forthwith gave the job of building the arena to the brothers of the present governor of New Jersey. Do you think Rickard gave them the job because they are the greatest and most economical builders in the world or because of another because? $100,000 High Enough. The earliest reports stated that Rickard was going to pay the brothers or the governor exactly $100,000 for their work. They seemed quite contented with the offering as well they should be for other builders who have studied the plans reckon that the place could be built a whole lot cheaper. While the Edwards boys were working on the place, they read somewhere in the papers that the advance sale of tickets for the fight might go well beyond $1',ftft0.000 and that Rickard .stood to clean up a gross profit of around $500,000. What did the Edwards boys do? Nothing other, according to report, than to decide that the building job was worth a lot more than $100,000. So, says inside information, they have whopped up this building price demand to $200,000. Some Problem. What's Rickard going to do? If he tells the Edwards boys to take a long running jump into the deepest Jersey swamp as the case justifies and tries to get some other builder to complete the job, what do you think the governor-brother of those boys will do to Rickard? At the moment this is being written, Rickard has not received a permit for the fight. Without one he cannot stage the walloping tidbit. Whv the delay in granting the permit? Wasn't Rickard infomied weeks ago that he could put on the show in Jersey? Sure he was? And hasn't he gone ahead and started work on the arena and sold tickets for the fight. Yet he hasn't received his permit. Can you imagine how this might worry Rickard and to what extremes Rickard or any other person similarly situated would go to get such a delayed permit Oh, yes, the Boxing Commission has declared it will give Rickard the permit in "due time" But why the delay that can cause nothing but annoyance and worry for the promoter? Incidental Expense. Nobody knows how much "incidental I expense Rickard contracted while he was dickering for the Jersey site. The I "men behind" in civic and state affairs in Jersey knew that Rickard wanted to J put. on the fight there and that he'd bid high for (he privilege.. How high did Rickard bid in the matter of "incidental expenses" before he got consent to use the flatlands of New Jersey Win 3 out of 4

for staging the fisticuffing thing between Georges and Jack? Somebody page Sherlock Holmes for the answer? From a source close to Rickard a man who knows the inside details of the whole affair almost as well as Rickard himself comes this bit of information : "Those politicians over in New Jersey are working Tax for the biggest shakedown in the history of boxing. They want about all the profits that Tex can dream about making and then about twice as much more. If the fight goes as big as it now seems, Rickard should clear a gross profit around half a million. But when he gets through unless he outsmarts those politicians he'll just about have carfare back to New York." (Copyright i92i T Klnjr Feature Syndicate. Inc DEMYSEY'S EYE CUTj LAY BOXING GLOVES ON SHELF IN CAMP (By Ansofia tfl Press ATANTIC CITY. N. J.. June 6. Boxing gloves were laid on the shelf in Jack Dempsey's training camp todav. All work with the cloves was ordered dropped from the training pro-i gram because of the ugly gash over! the champion's left eye. which was opened yesterday in a wind up of the hardest day's work he has indulged in since training was started here three weeks ago. The halt in boxing was ordered by Jack Kearns. manager of the champion, on the advice of a physician, who took a stitch to close the wound last night. Dempsey -probably will not be allowed to pull on the gloves for four or five days, but he will continue liis road work, bag punching, shadow boxing and other training routine. With the championship match with Georges Carnentier less than four weeks away. Kearns does not want to risk the dan-! ger of a serious injury to Dempsey's damaged eye, which, he believes, no doubt would result if boxing continuues. The cut was first opened ten days ago when Dempsey's head collided with Jack Renault's, his sparring partner, during a mixup. It was healing nicely during the four days Dempsey laid off last week, but was ripped open yesterday when Larry Williams, In awkwardly attempting to evade a right-hand punch, butted the champion. Blood spurted out of the wound profusely, and Dempsey's face was a carmine smear when he left the ring. Sets Terrific Pace Previous to the injury, which occurred in the fifth round of a six-round workout, Dempsey had set a terrific pace for his sparring partner. Renault was all but knocked out in the first round. Dempsey cauglit him flush on the chin with a left hook and Renault's body stiffened as if it. had been electrocuted. He fell bacward on to the ropes, sliding into the waiting arms of Teddy Hayes, Dempsey's trainer, who was refereeing. Williams was staggered and almost

A nerve in the arm caused the champion to experience a slight numbness during hla workouts, but it is rapidly responding to treatment. - Martin Burke, the New Orleans heavyweight, after boxing two rounds yesterday, fa id the champion had improved one hundred per cent in boxing since they boxed together during a theatrical tour Burke made with Dempsey before he won the title. "I boxed him almost daily for four months, but he's a different man now," Burke said. "In boxing skill he is one hundred per' ..Jt improved. He in as fast ad a lightweight and has developed a shift that will keep Carpentier jumping sideways."

JIM CORBETT DANCED HIS WAYTO CROWN The pugilistic crown first won by John L. Sullivan passed to the head or James J. Corhett on September 7. 1892, in the twenty-first round if their championship fight tn New Orleans. Corbett had a lot of fun winning the fight and the $45,000 that went with it. He towered three inches above the champion and continually smiled down at Sullivan in a most annoying manner. Corbett had been a bank clerk before taking the ring seriously, and the fans and newspaper correspondents delighted in salting their amazement at him speed with remarks of his dancing master tactics, as they were called. These dancing master tactics eluded the powerful Sullivan, however, and enabled Corbett to pick many openings for his attack. As the battle spun along toward its end, the Californian forced Sullivan to take the defense. He had the champion draped over the ropes when the bell rang at the end of the twelfth round. In the next round. Sullivan beaten down by smashing right and left6, tried hard to regain his feet and carry on. but his -strength was not equal to his will, and he was counted out. Ring enthusiasts went to New Orleans from all parts of the country to see the fight. Others came from Mexico and Canada. It was the greatest ring battle in the public mind that had ever been staged and good seats were cold for 75 dollars and more. DISPUTE OVER 35 CENTS CAUSES SLAYING OF NEGRO EVANSVILLE. Ind.. June 6.
