KORAN'S BREAKDOWN CUB DEFENSE; RIXEY IN EXCELLENT FORM CINCINNATI, July 25. With Rlxey hurling in 'championship form and receiving excellent support, the Moran outfit broke down the Cub defense early in the game and came through

on the long end of a seven to one count. The Reds played very fast ball behind the effective pitching of Rixey and the playing of Bohne and Crane, around second base was noteworthy. They gathered In many difficult grounders and were their with tome timely hits. Duncan also contributed some hard hitting during the contest, connecting for two hard hit drives that netted him three bases on each occasion, with a man on base. Can't Break Through. Rixey's pitching .left nothing to be desired. He was scored on in the first frame, but after that he set up an invincible defense. In the last, eight innings, not a Cub player reached third base and only a few got as far as second. A wild pitch in the first round was the only mistake the big left hander made during the game. He allowed the Cubs only six scattered hits and did not give a base on balls. Possible chances for the Cubs to score in the third and fourth rounds were cut off by fast double plays executed from Crane to Daubert.

The New York Nationals try again to wipe out cart of the three-game lead of the Pittsburgh National league leaders. High scores featured the series in New York last week in which the Pirates were held to an even break, but the airtight pitching by the Pittsburgh , twiners in tne Boston series piuuiioc lower scores in the Giant-Pittsburgh series in Pittsburgh. The probable twirlers for today are Toney of New York and Adams of Pittsburgh. The same margin of less than a game separated the Cleveland American World's champions from their New York pursuers as was the case before the two clubs started their series ending in an even break yesterday. They will renew the struggle in New York next Saturday. Fifteen two-base hits, two three-baggers and one home run were included in the 35 base hits made in yesterday's Washington-Detroit contest. Rice of the Senators batted a triple, three double and a single in six times at bat. Heilman of the Tigers made three doubles and a single. All four of the New York National runs were batted in by First Baseman Kelly, who in addition to making his sixteenth home run of the season, hit a double and a single. The homer was his third in three days. Babe Ruth is the first major leaguer to pass the century mark in runs. Yesterday he tallied his 100th and 101st runs. The winning streak of the St. Louis Americans ended yesterday at eight straight victories when Jones of Boston held the Browns to six hits. The Browns will be without the services of its star first baseman Sisler. who has been indefinitely suspended for an altercation with an umpire. FOUNTAIN CITY HURLER BLOWS; LYNN WINS LYNN, July 25. Mercer hurling for the Fountain City Independents blew up in the eighth Inning and Lynn scored six runs enabling them to sew up the game by the score of 11 to 4, Sunday afternoo nat Lynn. Up to the eighth frame the game was a pitcher's battle between Mercer, of the visitors, and Thorn, of the locals. Both men were hurling fine ball with Thorn having a slight edge of the contest. Lynn got away to an early start scoring three runs on four hits including three doubles. They scored one in the second and one in the fourth. The big inning came in the eighth frame when six runners crossed the pan. on five hits and a base on balls. Fountain City scored two runs in the sixth and one each In the eighth and ninth framesi The score t Fountain City v000 002 011 4 10 4 Lynn t.- 310 100 06x 11 16 2 Batteries Mercer, McNutt anl Hatfield; Thorn and Meredith Ruth's two runs in Sunday game ' against Cleveland made bis 100th and 101st of the . season. He is far in the lead as a run getter for either major league-.

Chips and Slips

George Sisler, of the St Louis Americans, who has always been regarded as one of the most peaceful players, had the first fistic encounter of his major league career Saturday. "When ordered off the field by Umpire Hildebrand at the beginning of the fifth inning Sisler attacked him and 6truck him on the jaw. Other players interfered and led Sisler away from the i arbiter. Emil "Irish" Meusel, one of the leading sluggers in the National league and captain of the Phillies, was benched indefinitely Saturday by Manager Donovan for indifferent playing. Meusel's hitting and playing have fallen off of late and the management maintains his attitude has lessened the morale of the entire club. 'Irish" is a brother to "Bob" Meusel, the New York Yankees' outfielder. Bill Wambsganss, Cleveland second baseman ,is laid up for the second time this season with injuries. The club physician says he will be out of the game for ten days. In trying to dodge a low in-curve Wamby was hit on the leg, injuring the bone. George Kelly was the hero of the Giant-Phillies game Sunday. He cracked out his sixteenth circuit drive of the year and his third homer in three days. He batted in all of New York's runs with a home-run, double and single. Eldorado had a team made up of real sports. They played baseball until the last man was out even though the Eagles had' a big lead after the fourth inning. We like to see. a bunch of ball players who don't give up.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

VMM From Metal Worker to Fistic King, Bill Brennan s History Menke Tells Story of Brennan's First Real Ring Encounter Brennan Beats Up Iron Workers Toughest Pugilist, then Starts Night Training.

Br FRANK G. MEXKE ' (Editor's Note Inasmuch as Bill Brennan probably will be Jack Dempsey's next opponent, this story and the two which follow and deal with Brennan's career are timely and interesting.) A 6heet-metal worker thinks an Iron worker is a terrible sort of bozo and an iron worker, thinks the same thing about a sheet-metal worker. All of which explains why Bill Brennan became a fistic gladiator. Back in those dear old Chicago days, Bill decided that he would become a sheet-metal worker. And he did. Amon? tho chores thrust upon him iu 1914 was that of working with a crew of about 100 sheet-metal workers who were employed on the same job that called into action an equal number or iron-workers. It is a sort of unwritten law among the sheet-metal workers that if does not reckon himself a better man than Gunga Din or all the iron workers in the world, he will get himself shased right out of the union and vica versa. So it was but natural that the rival gangs working on the same job should let the welkin ring with jeers for the others. Tough Bird Arrives. One day there came into the iron workers' camp a tough, rough bird, who in addition to being an iron worker, was something or a knuckle shover. Immediately gladness filled the bosoms of the iron-workers and at once they began to taunt the sheetmetal workers with : "We've got a guy working with us hat can whip any sheet-metal worker in the world." The defy called for a solemn con clave of sheet-metal workers during the next noon hour. Carefully, minutely, each sheet-metal worker was scrutinized as a logical opponent for the reputed "knock-em-dead" iron worker. But not a man in the sheetmetal workers' squad ever had any ring training; none knew much about the scientific features of fistic warfare. Bill Relieves Gloom. At this gloom-laden moment. Bill Brennan stepped into the meeting: "I know a. little about fighting just a little. But I think it's enough to whip any iron-worker, that lives. So, if you fellows are agreeable, I will take on that tough bird they are boasting about." ' The sheet iron leaders figuratively fell upon Bill's number 17 neck and five minutes afterward the challenge from the iron workers was boister ously accepted. It was originally decided that the affair should take place a week later right on the property, where the men were working. But news of the ensuing battle was wafted around the headquarters of: both unions. Associate members wouldn't stand for it being a private quarrel. They insisted that the melee must be staged at night so that everybody could be on hand for whooping up purposes. An arena was hired. Admission prices were charged. The ring rivals, who earlier were content to battle only for the greater honor and fighting glory of their respective unions, were told that they'd get $50 each, win, lose or draw. The iron worker wanted to bet his share and so did Bill Brennan. Everybody interested in the fight plunged and then plunged some more. As a result, when the men step WRANGLE OVER FILMS OF HISTORIC CLASH (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, July 25. Tex Rickard, promoter of the July 2 fight between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier in Jersey City, and F. C. Quimby, motion picture producer, were summoned to appear before the federal grand jury today to testify concerning the alleged transportation of movies of the fight into this state from New Jersey in violation of federal law. Mr. Rickard has declared he knows nothing of the transportation of the pictures or of plans to show them here. Mr. Quimby also has denied any part in their transportations, though admitting plans to exhibit them. Hi3 contention is that the federal law prohibiting interstate transportation ot pictures of a prize fight does not apply to the Dempsey-Carpentier bout as that historic sporting event was a boxing match and not a prize fight. Several hundred persons attracted by advertisements and electric signs atop a theatre, announcing first showing of the fight pictures last night, found the box office, dark and were unable to gain any information as to when the actual showing would take place. It was pointed out by some attorneys that nQ offense could be shown under the federal law unless the pictures allegedly transported from New Jersey were given public exhibition. The only showing of the pictures in New "iork so far has been private exhibitions at the Fox Hills and Poylclinic hospitals for the amusement of disabled soldiers. PETE HERMAN TRIES TO REGAIN CROWN (B Aasociated Press) NEW YORK, July 25. Pets Hetman, of New Orleans, will try tonight to regain the world's bantamweight championship title he lost in a 15 round decision to Joe Lynch of New York, in Madison Square Garden-, last December. The two boxers meet in a 15 round decision contest at EbbetU field, Brooklyn. Since losing the title, Herman has knocked out Jimmy Wilde, of England world's flyweight champion, and Jim my Higgins, British bantamweight champion. He displayed a punch in several other battles also. Lynch was troubled with a broken hand since acquiring the championship, but it is said that the injury has healed completely and that the titleholder is in splendid condition to defend his honors. Lynch is three inches taller than the former cham- - 1 pion and has an advantage of three

I inches in .reach.

ped into the ring, very man in the crowd which jammed the ball, had bet on his choice. It was certain that when the fight ended, the losing fac tion would be "broke" for a monthGets Him Groggy. "It happened to be the iron workers," commented Bill Brennan. "The bird those fellows struck into the ring with me that night knew a whole lot more about the tricks of the fighting trade than I did. And he was rough and tough. But I just tore In at him and swung with both arms and kept swinging and pretty soon I had him groggy and then I stepped away and leveled a pair at his jaw and then the iron workers began to collect." "You're a wonder, Bill a wonder," the whole sheet iron delegation en thusiastically, almost hysterically informed Bill Brennan. "You ought to go in for professional fighting." Ponders on Game. When Bill Brennan journeyed home that night we went into confer ence with his victorious seir. For a few minutes' work of which was just play he had received more money than he got for nearly two weeks of work as a sheet metal worker. He pondered long and lovingly upon that achievement. - "In the end," related Bill. "I decided to be a fighting sheet metal worker by day and sheet metal working fighter by night. I stuck to my trade but spent my evening getting some oldtimers to teach me fistic target practice. After a little while I figured I was good enough to take on some of the dubs around Chicago. So I met 'em, beat 'em and, in the end. I quit the sheet metal workers trade and took up the punching profession." (Copyright 1991 Br King Features Syndicate, Inc.)

ELDORADO'S PITCHER IS UNABLE TO STOP HARD HITTING EAGLES A combination of ragged fielding by the Eldorado hopefuls and some slugging by the Eagles in the sixth inning of Sundays contest at Exhibition park turned a perfectly good ball game into a romp for the local aggregation and after eight and one-half ' innings - of play the Eagles emerged with the long end of a 9 to 2 count. t , ; Some tailor-made pitching by the Eagle standby, Russ Hawekotte, kept the Eldorado representatives from seriously threatening the Birds' strong hold. Hawekotte-had his customary good control and got better with the advance of the game. He even went so far as to take upon himself the retirement of the last three Eldorado batters by the strike-out route. Touch Larson. Larson, Eldorado pitcher who hails from Dayton, failed to get by the locals in the same manner as-when he took the mound for the Farmland aggregation earlier in the season, and the local sluggers touched him for nine hits, most of them coming at timely places where runs resulted. The fourth inning was a nightmare for Eldorado.. The Eagles batted around and started over again before three men could be retired. Byrket, Eagle flrst-sacker, took pity' on Larson and struck out for the first time in several games making the third out, and his second in the inning. Byrket was the first up and was retired when he hit an easy grounder to Lipps. ! Reddinghaus got a single down the third base line. Runnels laid down a perfect bunt, which Larson fumbled several times and both runners were safe, Reddinghaus drawing up on third. Breaks Batting Up. Johnny Logan broke his batting slump by smacking a hit over first base which scored Reddinghaus. Knight hit a hot one at Hunt, who tangled himself up and overthrew first letting Runnels score. Knight proceeded to show his youth by stealing second. Howekotte put his own ball game on ice by getting a long hit to right center which scored J. Logan and Knight. Fitzgibbons then hit to Hunt, who aided in running Hawekotte down between second and third. Long picked out one to his liking and hit to the left field fence for three bases scoring Fitzgibbons. Minner got on when Rantsaw bobbled at first and Long scored. Byrket then whiffed ror the third out Six tallies were chased over on four hits and three errors. Score in Second Eldorado scored one run in the sec ond inning when Lipps, first up, hit ior two oases to the right field fence T 1 . . ... . . juunson men put mm over with a single to left field which Minner let bounce through him. They chalked up their other tally in the ninth inning when Long failed to handle Johnson's grounder. Johnson stole second and third and came in on a wild peg to eaten nim at the hot corner. The Eldorado team nut un a food battle and were unwilling to concede defeat until the last man had been retired. They had lots of pep in their piaying out lacked team work which is an essential factor in successful ball playing. To Play Dayton Next-Sunday the Eagles will play a team from Dayton, O.

Braves Flaming Well to Quench Oil Blaze (By Associated Press) MEXICO CITY, July 25. Guarded by an asbestos shield, a laborer in the Awatlan oil fields yesterday approached to within a few yards of a blazing well known as number 5, and after spending 15 minutes in the terrific heat, with flaming oil falling all around him, succeeded by frantic efforts in nearly closing a valve which controls the oil supply. The intense heat is said to have damaged the piping system to such an extent that it was impossible to close the valve completely but when the pipes have become cooler, it is believed the supply can be cut off entirely by a similar proceedure and that the fire which has been burning for more than a week, with a loss estimated at several million dollars, will be extinguished.

Then, too. unwillingness of Mr. Fletcher to allow any connection with any outside business to reflect in the slightest manner against the bank was an impelling influence that led to the disposal of part of his bank holdings. Mr. Fletcher Makes Comment ' Mr. Fletcher, commenting on this transfer of stock, which has brought new and powerful interests into the institution, said: " - "It is common knowledge that I have Invested a. large part of my personal worth in the Midwest Engine company, which, like many other largo manufacturing concerns, has had its share of troubles, due to the present industrial depression. : " "While I am of the firm belief that it is a matter of no great time until my Investment there will be proven entirely sound, nevertheless, I am unwilling to let any connection that I have with an outside business, reflect in the slightest manner against the bank which has been built up by generations of my family.
