RIXEY HANDS GIANTS , NEAT LACING IN FIRST CONTEST OF SERIES NEW YORK, July 21. Eppa Rlxey handed the Giants a neat lacing in the first game of the series, Wednesday afternoon on the Polo grounds by tho score of 2 to 1. The game was a pitchers' battle between Toney and Rlxey, with Rlxey having the edge. Toney was taken out In the eighth to allow a pinch-hitter to bat for him, and Benton finished the game. Both pitchers were in fine form and the game can partly be chalked up against Bancroft, the Giant's captain, for the Ipss. The Reds pot away to an early Mart when Neale lead off with a triple to right center and came home a minute later when Bohne cracked a single over Frisch's head. The Giants tied the score In the fourth round. Burns beat out an infield hit, and went to third while Frisch was being thrown out at first. Young brought him home with a clean single to left. Pulls Price Boner. In the seventh inning the Reds won the game when Bancroft pulled his prize bone play. Roush, first up, hit a short fly to center and Bancroft, thinking he could take It in, called for it and missed it by several feet, while the centerfielder could have made an easy catch of It. The hit went for a double. Daubert sacrificed and Duncan smashed a mean bounder at Frisch that bounded away from him, bringing in the winning tally.

Johnson, Freed, Wants Chance to Prove Ability in 'Comeback ' Menke Advocates Giving Burly Negro Another Whirl at Ring Game Worse Sinners Uncaught.

By FRANK G. MEXKE Nothing provokes a greater laugh than the announcement of some persons connected with the prize ring: "Jack Johnson should not be allowed to fight again." The golden molared negro, fresh from Jail, wants to get back into ring harness again; wants to battle anwbody, anywhere, anytime Just so long as he gets a little money for it. He's broke and he admits it He knows but one trade, one profession and that 18 boxing. He needs money, knows but one way to earn It and some men try to stop him In his honest efforts. The negro Insists that even though he is 42, he Is still able to step a little faster, punch a little harder and protect a little more effectively than any black men now identified with the knuckle shoving pastime. Maybe ho Is maybe he isn't He should get-a chance to prove it. But certain promoters, certain managers, certain fighters shriek to the heavens: "Johnson has disgraced pugilism. He should never be allowed to fight again." Down on Under Dog. The strange thing about it is that the noisiest yowl comes from white men who, inwardly are perhaps a whole lot blacker than Johnson. The only difference between some of them and Johnson is that Johnson was caught and they have escaped the tolls of justice. They have committed sins against boxing and against humanity worse than Johnson's ever were and they know a moral structure no stronger than that of the negro. They live In glass huts and daro to toss bricks. Just how guilty Johnson was of the charge that landed him in prison ever will remain a debatable question. Those who profess to know the inside of the case insist that Johnson was "jobbed" out in Chicago that the r How They Standi NATIONAL LEAGUE Clubs - Won Lost Pittsburg 57 29 New York 52 32 Boston 48 34 St. Louis 42 ' 43 Brooklyn 43 45 Chicago 38 46 Cincinnati 34 50 Philadelphia 24 59 AMERICAN LEAGUE Clubs Won Lost New York 56 31 Cleveland 56 32 Washington 47 46 Detroit 43 47 St. Louis . 41 48 Boston 40 47 Chicago 39 49 Philadelphia 33 55 AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Clubs Won Lost Louisville 56 37 Minneapolis 49 40 Milwaukee 46 42 Kansa3 City 45 43 Indianapolis 43 48 St. Paul 42 48 Toledo 42 50 Columbus 38 53 GAMES TODAY National League.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

charges against him were trumped up in a spirit of revenge. Victim of "Frameup." . . It is said that a group of persons aimed to work a shakedown on Johnson. They demanded a huge sum of money. Johnson laughed at their orders. Then, when they began to threaten hipi, he in turn threatened to expose them on the charge of blackmail. Then the group, practically trapped, decided to beat Johnson to the legal punch. They feared he would go through with the blackmail charge. So they got busy, according to information ran him into a trap, a trap which Involved him with a woman and the interstate laws and then had him "jugged" on the white slavery charge. Johnson was convicted and released on bail. He jumped the country and remained for years outside the Jurisdiction of the United States government. At last he came back, served his sentence and now he's free and asking for another chance. Johnson is an illiterate nero, and without much moral structure. He's one of those men who never did grow up; who ever will be a big, goodnatured, fun loving, pleasure loving negro from the levees of the Southland. But in the days when Jack Johnson had money, no man friend or stranger ever went to him for help and came away empty handed. Always Helped Friends It was come easy for him in those days and go easy Into the pockets of his friends. If Johnson now could collect the money he loaned or gave away in the golden era of his life it wouldn't be necessary for him to want another chance at the boxing game. But he can't That money, like the rest which he spent in riotous living, is gone forever. Johnson is freed from Jail and broke. He wants a chance to fight again. Perhaps he has gone so far from hl3 greatness that he is Ju3t a human hulk. If so, the first fight will prove it It not, he still might be able to furnish some entertainment for men who like to see big blacks mingle in battle within the roped arena. Johnson erred. If the boxing game were one where osly the pure and the untainted are privileged to mix it in battle, or participate in any manner at all, then Johnson should be barred from any form of ring activity. But the fistic game is about the rottenest thing in the world. It includes more unjailed crooks, more doublecrossing sure thing men and more social lepers than any other branch of human endeavor. And it countenances in high standing men who served prison terms for worse crimes than Johnson. So why should those on the inside now become snobbish and try to bar a man who paid the penalty for the crimes which he committed and wants just another chance?

Italy Claims Dempsey. A dispatch trom Rome state3 that the well known Italian tenor, Polverosi, has just returned from America, and has given a paper an interview stating that Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world, is an Italian who was born in a small town in Calabria and that his name is Densi. The statement has created a sensation. A Detroit critic comments that Ty Cobb has changed his batting style. Ty now swings from the handle and is getting extra base drives, whereas he used to choke the tat and be satisfied with singles, which he stretched into doubles when opposing fielders were not on their toes. Ty has figured it out that hard hit balls this year will go safe for extra bases and is out to prove it. His theory is working out thus fas as his batting average will show. HOT STUFF DOWN SOUTH An odd story of a forfeited game comes from the Blue Ridge League. The game was at Martinsburg between the team representing that city and Fredericks.

An Idea of the amount-of Insurance carried by big league baseball clubs against Inclement weather was given when William Masscce, an insurance broker, yesterday filed a complaint against the Detroit American league club, alleging that his commission of $910 on a $91,000 policy had not been paid. The insurance, he said was to cover Saturday's, Sundays and holidays In May. The complainant stated that after he had secured the policy the Detroit owners refused to accept it obtaining insurance through another broker. He claimed he was engaged to get insurance for the club and that he had earned hi3 commission regardless of the fact that his employers did not accept the policy.
