ONE COSTLY BOOT i BY KOPF ALLOWS LEADERS TO TRIUMPH PITTSBURGH, July 2. One costly boot by Larry Kopf opened the way for the league leaders to score five runs in the fourth inning and gave them the victory. But for this bobble Eppa Rixey would have shut out the Pirates and the two tallies that the Reds pushed over would have won them a gam?.

Rixey was holding the leaders very safely until they filled the bases in the fourth on Barnhart double and two passes, one of which was intentional. There were two outs and Morrison at bat, who hit a slow roller at Kopf, who in his anxiou3 effort to make the play quickly, fumbled the ball and two players crossed the plate. This was followed by a triple by Bigbee and a single by Carey. Donohue Pitches Donohue pitched the last two innings for the Reds after Rixey had been taken out to let a pinch hitter bat for him. Donohue hurled a nice brand of ball the last two frames, the Pirates getting three hits off his delivery and did not score a run. The Reds scored their runs in the seventh on Groh's single" and two walks filling the bases. Bressler forced Wlngo at second, Groh scoring and Roush scored on Duncan's fly to Tierney.

HARD LUCK PITCHERS ARE MOANING FATE "Red" Oldham of the Detroit Americans and "Speed" Martin of the Chicago Nationals claim to be the hard luck pitchers of their respective cir cuits. Oldham recently pitched to only two batters in a game but was charged with the loss of the contest, while Martin's luck was even worse. He pitched only one ball and lost a game. Martin went in as relief hurler in the ninth inning in an eastern game with the score tied. The first ball he twirled was knocked into the bleachers for a home run, winning the game. With Detroit leading Cleveland 7 to 4 and the bases full in a recent game. Manager Speaker sent Graney. a lefthanded hitter, to bat for Nunamaker, who swings from the other side of the plate. Seeing this. Manager Cobb replaced Sutherland, a righthanded pitcher, with Oldham. Oldham pitched six consecutive "balls." Four of these placed Graney on first, while the next two were called on Uhle, another pinch hitter. At this point Cobb sent Jimmy Middleton to the box. Graney scored the tying run and Uhle reached first on a fielder's choice. Wambsgans then singled, scoring Uhle with the winning run, and as Oldham was credited with responsibility for placing the tying and winning runs on the bases, the loss of the game was charged to him. Over 2,500,000 Words Sent Out of Atlantic City to Give News of the Big Clash Today By Associated Pre) ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., July 2. More than 2,500,000 words descriptive of Jack Dempsey 's training campaign have been sent out of Atlantic City over the wires of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies, officials of the two companies announced today. For the first time since the world's heavyweight champion established his training camp here, telegraph operators sat idly beside their keys. The lull was occasioned by the departure of Dempsey and the army of correspondents who have chronicled the progress of his training. More news matter and comment has gone out of here concerning the Dempsev training camp than anything ever before located in Atlantic City. It was estimated that in addition to the columns of newspaper reading matter filed with the telegraph companies, nearly three million more wards were sent by mail. The hundreds of journalists, special correspondents, sob sisters and hum orists who at one time or another dur ing the training period have come here to chronicle their impression of the champion include many of the bestknown writers In the United states and Europe. "We're glad Dempsey is all trained and out of town." was the comment of

one of the tired key men today.

Injuries received by Ty Cobb In sliding into second base Thursday, will keep the great star out of the game for about three weeks, physicians have announced. In doing a hook slide Cobb spiked himself In the knee and it required five stitches to close the wound. Fritz Bastian was eliminated in the intercollegiate tennis championship by Philip Neer, of Leland Stanford, losing two straight sets after a hard fight by the scores of 8-6 and 6-4. Williams, the St. Louis Brown left fielder is out after a home record for homers in consecutive games, having knocked out three in the last three days. What She Asked Can you start a fire with a baseball match? Or mend your glove with a cabbage patch? Is a foul a chicken or is it a bird? Can they pinch that player for stealing third? The Cardinals hung up a good record for the month, starting May 14 and ending June 13 when they won 22 out of 29 games and went from the cellar to third place. The reason giyen for the Cards' spurt was improved pitching. The Cards have been play ing good ball ever since their rapid climb and are still among the leaders. It would be a good idea for the fel lows who are doing all the crabbing in the Commercial league to read up the rules and find out the rules of the game. Too much credit cannot be given "Doc" Squires for his work behind the bat He is well versed on the rules of the game and his umpiring is twyond reproach. Boys, get out and boost; cut out the knocking. In 1919 there were 200,000 farm lighting plants in use. Now, it is said there are 340,000.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

FARMLAND WILL PLAY EAGLES HERE SUNDAY; CHANGES HELP LOCALS Two good games of ball are promis ed the fans of the Richmond Eagles, Sunday and Monday afternoons, when they stack up against the fast Farmland team. The Eagles are now playing a better brand of ball than they have played all season and it is predicted that no more bad exhibitions will be held. Manager Danzelman has been trying to hit a winning combination as well as a good working infield and his present team seems to be just what he has been looking for. Moving Long into the infield seems to have been a very wise move as he is a good infielder, covers lots of ground, and has a good throwing arm. Minner plays the outfield"as well as the Infield and can be used in the box more or in case of emergency without breaking up the infield. Hawekotte on Slab Hawekotte will do the hurling Sunday and Minner will work on Monday. Both men are in excellent condition j and promise to send the Farmland team back home with the short end of two games. Larson who hurled such an effective game against the Eagles earlier this season when he defeated them by a large score, will not be in the game Sunday. The Eagles promise to avenge this defeat and two of the best battles of the season will be played. Farmland will have a small army of rooters in the stands, according to word received here and some lively competition will be heard in the rooting section.

All International Events Take Back Seat in Paris as Fans Talk About Fight (By Associated Press) PAFJS. July 2. Crashing banks, wars, cabinet crises, reparations, Silesia, and all other public questions were all thrust into the background by this morning's newspapers, which gave the most prominent place in their columns to the news regarding the Dempsey-Carpentier battle in Jersey City. Even Communists organs devoted themselves to dispatches from America dealing with the coming international glove combat. The manner in which newspapers subordinate everything to news of the fight was wholly unprecedented, even , the comic cartoonists and the columiuists concentrated their efforts on that theme. Each newspaper in Paris had ! made its own arrangements for pro claiming the result, and the scenes to be enacted in Paris tonight bid fair to rival those which accompanied the an nouncement of the signing of the armistice. Maurice Maeterlinck, author of the Blue Bird, and known throughout the world as the "Belgian Shakespeare" was an enthusiastic supporter of Carpentier. Maeterlinck has frequently denned the gloves with the French champion being no mean boxer himself, and last night telegraphed the Excelsior saying: "I forecast victory for George Carpentier." This view was generally held by the French public, if not by the majority of experts in this city. Pitcher Elmer Ponder Traded to Chicago Cuhs (By Associated Press) PITTSBURGH, July 2. Pitcher El mer Ponder, who has been with the Pirates for two seasons, has been traded to the Chicago Cubs for Outfielder Dave Robertson, it was announced here today. The trade is to go into effect at once. Ponder came to the Pittsburgh team from Birmingham while Robertson was formerly with the New York Giants. CALL RICHMOND TIGERS The Richmond Tigers will play at Abington Sunday afternoon, and the players are requested to meet at Fifth and Main streets at 12 o'clock.

JACK DEMPSEY WEARS PRESENTED BY HIS (By Associated Press) ' JERSEY CITY, N. J., July 2. Jack Dempsey is going to put on a "big party" at the Belmont tonight to celebrate the ending of his long training grind and his expected victory over Georges Carpentier, provided his massive jaws come out of today's battle in good working condition. "It all depends on how the old jaw is," Dempsey said when asked about his after-tbe-fight plans. He grinned I broadly and caressed the jaw the chal lenger is expected to aim at, a.s ae spondea. Tnen, to snow now ne ieu about his ability to evade a knockout punch, he hastened to add that reservations for the big part already had been made. His guests will include ; I his two brothers, Bernard and Johnny; Mayor Badger, of Atlantic City, where the champion trained; Manager Jack Kearns, Trainer Hayes, and other members of the Dempsey training squad. Jack Appears Gay The champion arrived here from Atlantic City late yesterday evening and with his party was conducted by Mayor Hague to the home of a Jersey City millionaire to spend the tedious hours before the battle. Dempsey appeared as gay and carefree as a school boy, and retired shortly after 9:30 o'clock His handlers gave orders that he be not disturbed until he awoke of his own ac cord. Mrs. Mae Brown, of Chicago, a friend of Dempsey and his forebearing landlady in the days of "slim pickings" that preceded his rise to the pugilistic world, arrived here last night with two pairs of hand-made white silk trunks, one of which thj champion selected to wear in the ring today. Mrs. Brown's ideas of the stylish thing in belts, however didn't coincide with Dempseys and he had her remodel the red, white and blue belt she had made. Discards Rosette. As Mrs. Brown planned it, the belt was to fasten with hooks and eyes, the juncture being embellished with red, white and blue rosette. Dempsey asked her to remove the rosette, which he held was too fancy and the hooks and eyes which he said might dig into his flesh and to encthen the belt so it could be tied in a plain knot. Moderate settinsr un exercises, a card game and possibly a short quiet walk, were on the program to occupy CARPENTIER IS CALM, SLEEPS ON YACHT ON WAY TO JERSEY CITY (By Associated Press.') MANHASSETT, July 2 Arising this morning at the usual hour, 6 o'clock, Georges Carpentier breakfast ed, spent fifteen minutes at setting-up exercises, then permitted himself to be amused by his comrades while the hours passed by. Manager Descamps had mapped out the day to coincide with the train schedule the challenger has followed for six weeks. Luncheon was scheduled for 11:30 o'clock, then the motors were to take the party to Port Washington on Manhassett Bay to go aboard the 65-foot power yacht, Lone Star. One of the bunks was fitted up for Georges and he had planned to sleep an hour while the little craft sped down to a Jersey City dock. There, a closed car and a special guard of six motorcycle policemen awaited the pari., . Strict orders were given by Manager Descamps to keep everybody out of the challenger's dressing room until he starts for the ring. He said Georges would be ready when the time for the main event arrived. To Assist Georges Manager Descamps, Trainer Wilson and little Charles Ledoux, the French bantamweight champion, will be in Georges' corner and will work in the ring with him between rounds.

IND., SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1921.

WHITE SILK TRUNKS LANDLADY OF OLD DAYS the slow-moving hours this morning. The champion planned to leave by automobile for the arena at Boyle's Thirty Acres at about 2 o'clock, arriving in time to get into his fighting togs by 3 o'clock. Dempsey enjoyed every minute of his three and a half hour train ride from Atlantic City yesterday after noon. He spent about an hour sleep - ing and the remainder of the time frolicking with his companions ?nd acknowledging the cheers of crowds that gathered at stations where word was passed that the champion was on board. Before leaving his training camp, Dempsey presented Mike Trant, the Chicago detective sergeant, who has acted as his bodyguard, with a diamond Elk pin as a memento of his days in the champion's camp. BIG SAUCER FILLED BY SURGING THRONG (By Associated Pres3) JERSEY CITY, July 2. Several hundred men and boys who had remained outside the arena all night built bonfires and went through impromptu calisthenics to seek warmth against the cool breezes that swept over the Jersey meadows. At nine o'clock the thermometer registered seventy, and there was little indication that the fight spectators would swelter under a broiling sun, as many had predicted earlier in the week. The streets around the big saucer resemble an early morning scene at a circus. Venders of flags, souvenirs, seat cushions, peanuts, "hot dogs" and all the other articles that find a ready sale among holiday and sporting crowds did a thriving business. ! Just before the gates were opened, several hundred ushers and police made a thorough search of the arena to rout out all squatters. Scores of boys, who had secreted themselves during the night in an effort to witness the fight without expense, were pulled out of all sorts of hiding places and sent scampering through the gates. Water Gets Youngsters Streams of water were then turned on the sides of the arena to wet It down and prevent the possibility of fire. A few youngsters, who had eluded the earlier vigilance of the police, were driven out of hiding by the deluge of water and soon found themselves in the street. A large force of police outside the saucer succeeded in maintaining order throughout the night and no arrests were reported at an early hour this morning. The real human tidal wave started to move toward Jersey City soon after seven o'clock. Tube trains under the Hudson river, running on a three and one-half minute headway with addi tional cars, were crowded at nine o'clock, while every ferry aided its quota to the throng, arena bound. Several hundred police in uniform and plain clothes mingled with the spectators on the watch for undesirable characters, who generally make -large crowds their hunting grounds. Mayor Hague had requested that all persons arrested with criminal records in Jersey City be held for 90 days under a state law that makes such detention possible. This was expected to act as a deterrent to the criminally inclined.

The score: Pennsy 100 011 113 8 Jones 000 181 20 12 BIG CROWD POPS IN WITH GLASSES, EATS, PILLOWS AND FANS RINGSIDE, JERSEY CITY, July 2. Gates to the big fight opened at 9:45 and in popped the crowd. Through the entrance on each side of the big wooden octagon poured the men and women who today were to witness Jack Dempsey of America and Georges Carpentier of France do battle for the heavyweight honors of the world and the plumpest purse in history. Soon the saucer of yellow pine, which, when the sun was out, glistenj ed like a giant bowl of brass, was flecked with humanity. But, unlike an ordinary saucer, it filled from the brim down instead of the bottom up, for the first to arrive was the gallery god with the periscope eye who had camped all night outside the arena for the privilege of paying promoter Tex Rickard five dollars and fifty cents. "Women See Bout Gradually, however, the wave of hu manity rolled down to the ringside as the more plutocratic ticket holders reached the stadium. Unlike the ordinary show, today's performance, advertised as "the battle of the century" had no exclusive baldheaded row. Hairless pates, in many cases, were replaced by coiffures par excellence, for women who recently had espoused tne boxers art are turned out in full force for today's carnival of blows. It was a case of fight to see a fight. The tube under the Hudson river should have bulged with the mass of excited humans who tried to battle their way across to the Jersey side; the ferry boats plying their way over the tube trains should have sunk under the perspiring cargoes that tried to board them, and if every one who wanted an airplane at the last minute could have had his way the very sun would have been obscured. But, of course, none of these dire things occurred. The crowds struggled on, lumbering along over the cob bled streets of Jersey City, and the numbers which every minute stepped in for Mr. Rickard's outdoor party proved that, however many may have fallen by the wayside, others had taken their places. They came, these pilgrims, equipped for anything from a trip to the moon to a journey featured by Signor Dante. Bring Comforts Travelers who landed In Host Rick ard's seventh cricle of seats, rimming the amphitheatre, came as for the race track, with glasses to span the 300 feet to the ring. Many carried as part of their regular equipment: Sun glasses, one pair; pillows, as many as the old family sofa at home had held; sandwiches, a legion; fans, as numerous the the wings of the famous Jersey "skeeters" which also volplaned today to Boyle's Thirty Acres. Harmon Wierhake Appointed Second Night Sergeant Police Appointment of Harman Wierhake of the police force, to the office of second night sergeant, was made at the monthly meeting of the police commissioners, Friday night. Officer Wierhake has been a member of the police department for 24 years. Other appointments made include those of Harry Graham, 44 years old, and William Ratliff, 42 years old, as patrolmen. Roy Wright was named as motorcycle officer, to take the place recently held by Ross Wills. TRACK MEET OPENS. (By Associated Press) PASADENA, Calif., July 2.
