FARMLAND, EAGLES TO PLAY SUNDAY
Farmland and the Richmond Eagles will take the field at Exhibition park Sunday afternoon promptly at 3 o'clock, and one of the liveliest tilts
of the season is expected. Farmland appeared against the Eagles here in the first game of the season, but
since, they have added new stars to their line-up and with the addition of
"Russ" Hawekotte, as hurler, tney should put up a fine game. Manager Logan, of the Eagles, has made arrangements for Kister, Dayton shortstop, to be on hand for Sunday's game and "Bill" Rainey. Eaton first baseman, will be on the initial sack. J. Logan or a new arrival will be on third base and H. Logan or Reddinghaus will hold down the second base position. Eubanks and Clements will bid for the berth in left field. "Toe" Hiatt will take up his work in center field and Fitzgibbons will take his old position in right field. "Spike" Flaherty will hurl and Hubbard will receive. Some line-up if they hook up right.
While Bawekotte will pitch for
Farmland, he will be ably backed-up by Clark, who is capable of holding the receiving job nicely. This game is looked to be one as good as the Minute-Men, of Connersvilie put up or the battle with .Cam
bridge City.

MURRAY MAY ENTER
RACES AT WINCHESTER
WINCHESTER, Ind., June 24. H. E. Murray of Toledo, Ohio, was a guest of the management of Funk's Lake Motor Speedway today. Murray, who is a prominent automotive engineer, came here to inspect tho lodal speedway in view of bringing two cars here for the Fourth of July races. Murray was greatly Impressed with the course and pronounced it the best dirt course in this country, and will
enter two cars. He would not make public the names of his drivers or give any Information regarding his cars.
but Murray Is a student in racing ana can be counted on to have something that will rank with the best of them.
As a result of connecting with 13 hits in his last six games,- Myatt of Milwaukee climbed back into the lead in the race for the, batting leadership of the American association. The averages today show him batting .408, with Brown of Indianapolis In second place with .387. Brown was seventh in the list a week ago, but he started on a batting rampage that netted him sixteen bits in seven games. The averages Include games of Wednesday.

Herman PCIette, former pitcher for the Richmond Central league baseball team, now with the Detroit Tigers, who
has made nine 6tarts for Ty Cobb's fast
traveling team and has emerged victor in seven of these nine games, formerly belonged to Richmond. One of the defeats came in the game with Chicago, when Robertson hurled his no-hit, norun game. In his other defeat, Pillette was touched for only four bits.
Pillette was obtained by Detroit from
the Oakland team of the Pacific Coast
league as a fill-in in the deal for
Pitcher Johnson. Johnson has made
six starts and has only won one game.
Richmond obtained Pillette from the
Cincinnati Reds just the season before
the war closed the minor leagues. The
Richmond management held a two
weeks' option o nthe pitcher and at the
end of that time he was purchased.
Pillett had little chance to establish
himself here, however, as the war closed the Central league the next sea
son. Richmond lost title to the pitcher and he reverted back to Cincinnati, then the Reds farmed him to Seattle with the privilege to recall him' after 90 days. The option was waived at the end of the 90 days. Seattle sold him to Oakland, of the Pacific Coast league, then from the latter team Detroit obtained him as the throw-in with Johnson, who was considered the best man in the deal. In his early experience, Pillette was wild, but his curves were wonderfully
effective when controlled. , If the titles for Pillette and "Goldie"
Rapp could have been held by the Richmond club, the local management would have been about $25,000 to the
good. Rapp played short for Rich
mond and made his climb until he landed with theNew York Giants and
later with the Philadelphia club, where
he is now located.
Elmer Eggemeyer stated Saturday that at least five of the members of the Richmond Central league team were
now playing big league basebalL

ROCK CRYSTAL OLD GREEK PRAYER GHARM
British Golf Trophy In Hands of American (3- Associated Press) CHICAGO. June 24. The British
open golf championship cup is booked to sail for America today for the second time in this' instance in the hands of a native American Walter Hagen of Detroit, who won it yesterday with a score of 300 strokes for the 72 holes, Just two strokes better than the defender Jock Hutchison of Chicago, who won it last year in a play off with Roger Wethered, a British amateur. This is the first time a native of America, has won It and the third time It has ever been won by any other than a Briton in all its history since 1860. Arnaud Massey of France carried It across the English channel in 1907, while Hutchison, a native of St Andrews, Scotland, brought it to the United States last year. BASEBALL MAGNATE DIES (By Associated Press) TORONTO, June 24. J. J. McCaffery, president of the Toronto baseball club in the International league, died ; today. He had been ill for some time.
From the. Detroit News Great value has always been at
tached to rare and beautiful stones,
.but with primitive people the intrin
sic value was less than the supernatural virtue credited to them. Stones were favored as charms, but among the early Greeks none was rated as having the power of compelling the gods to answer prayer except rock
crystal. , . This was used as a burning stone,' and the founder of perhaps the earliest recorded temple mysteries, Onomacritus, gives exact directions for producing sacred fire. A bright transparent piece of crystal was to be laid on dry wood in brilliant sun
shine. He says the god appears first with smoke, then with a little smol
dering fire, then with a burst of
flame. This was holy fire from the
sun's rays.
"Whoso goes Into the temple with this in his hand may be quite sure of having his prayer granted as the gods cannot withstand its power," he
told his followers.
(By Associated Press) . NEW YORK, June 24. Another home run barrage has been laid down in the major leagues. Fourteen circuit blows were recorded yesterday, five going to American league and the others to the Nation

ond straight time 10 to C, knocked his twelfth homer of the season, and Col
lins, the St. Louis catcher, also connected for one. Harry Hooper's homer

Br FRAKX G. SIKJTKE The subject was "tough fights." Into the melting pot of human ears
were tossed many stories of great and
gory ring battles of bygone days; ter-
rlfio fist duels which not only have left an indelible impression upon the
minds of those who saw them, but
have been written indelibly into prize
ring history. And then, when a slight pause came, Bill Hayes, of Detroit, spoke up and said: "T saw a fight 15 years ago, with
Tex Rickard refereeing which isn't in many of the record books, but which
was beyond anything I've ever looked
at In my lifetime in the way of toughness."
Perhaps youVe heard of Bill Hayes
and perhaps you haven t. His ca
reer Is one entwined with sportive romance ; a story of a fight for wealth in the Goldfleld days; of battles for
gold around the nation culminating fin-
any in success in Detroit where Hayes
now is a contractor and near the
multi-millionaire stage. Looked Like Whirlwind
In his youth Hayes was a SDrintinK
whirlwind, a splendid amateur boxer,
a football star, a satellite on the ball fields an all around athlete. And in that same youth he drifted westward, finally to cast his lot with the miners of Goldfleld.
I saw a lot of fiehts before T eot
mcre ana pernaps a thousand or more since then," related Hayes. "I guess I've seen every great battle put on in America during the last quarter of a century. I 6aw Gans and
Nelson, Wolgast and Nelson. Jeffries
and Johnson;. Dempeey In his every
important mixup. But never have I seen anything in savagery that compares with the Bobby Lundy-Larry Gordon affair in Goldfleld in 1907.
There was intense rivalry between
these middleweights. Every man in the audience knew it was a grudge af-
rair. But there was something beyond the purse and revenge to urge each boy on to victory. A ton of
money was bet on the battle1 and before it began the gamblers had gone to the boy they had bet on and agreed to give him a cut in on the winnings
Start Slugging
"With the bang of the first gong.
tne Doys rushed out like wild men
They stood in the center of the ring,
neither backing, neither attempting to block or sidestep just slugging and smashing away at each other. In the middle of the round Gordon landed a terrific jaw punch and
Lundy went down for nine. He got up, drove Gordon to the ropes, staggered Larry, then ran into a wild left
hook and again Lundy hit the floor
for nine.
"That was only the start. Three knockdowns came in the second. Before the fifth round was over. 10
knockdowns, most of them for a nine
count, had been ecored--with honors
about even. The eyes of both fljrht-
ers were closed by that time. The
nose of one was broken; the mouth
of the other was split Their bodies had turned a purple red from the
terrific punching. "Yet they had hardly warmed up. Entire Floor Stained.
"Along about the tenth the entire
floor of the ring was crimson. Blood
spattering from the faces of the
fighters, had covered Packard's shirt
and trousers. It strayed out into the crowd In the ringside seats, and many of the spectators were bloodier than
most of the present day fighters are
after 25 rounds of milling.
"After the twelfth round Rickard
refused to go near the fighters. He
tood leaning against the ropes In the
corner farthest from them. If the
cene of battle shifted towards him
Rickard hurried to another corner.
"He made no effort, beyond a verbal
one, to break the fighters. He had accumulated all the blood he cared
about. When a knockdown occurred
he counted from where he stood,
'And all the while Lundy and Gor
don continued to fight with unabated
fury. It seemed that only some mir
acle was keeping them on their feet
Their bodies, by the time the fifteenth
had arrived, had turned almost black;
their faces were unrecognizable
masses. But on ana on tney iougnt, toe-to-toe, never backing, never de
viating from the original purpose to
win with a knockout.
Thirty-two Knockdowns As the twentieth and final round
began, the tabulators discovered that
30 knockdowns already had occurred with honors about even. Lundy made it 31 a few second later. Gordon got up at nine, groped around, found the chin of Lundy with a right and made
it 32.
"Lundy arose and Gordon floored
him again. Then when Lundy got up he made it 34 by dropping Gordon with
left to the body. W earily Gordon
beat the fatal count of ten and tried to fall into a protecting clinch.
"But Lundy backed away and, with
the last ounce of strength In -his
broken body, let loose with a blind
right. He didn't aim the punch for any particular spot because by that
time his sight was about gone. He just
swung wildly. Yet the punch landed
on the chin of Gordon and down went Gordon, two minutes and twenty sec
onds after the twentieth round of the
scheduled 20-round fight began.
Gordon made a desperate effort to
get up but failed.
'And so it was that Lundy won with
a knockout In a nght which was at
one and the same time the greatest the toughest and the most brutal fight
I ve ever seen in 2o years of seeing all
the great ones."

Tofiay all roads led to Latonia, Ky, across the Ohio river from Cincinnati, wher the cream of the country's three-year-ord thoroughbreds meet this afternoon to battle for honor and gain in the rich Kentucky special race at one znfla and a quarter. The stake carries a cash value of $50,000 and in addition to Ms share of the money a $2,000 gold up goes to the winner.
The conditions provide that eacn horse shall carry 126 pounds. Eight have been carded to go and seven look like certain starters. Cherry Tree ran yesterday and may 'decline the issue. The Kentucky Jockey club has made all posible arrangements to handle the crowd, which, according to all indications, will be the greatest that ever has visited the historic MQldale course. To relieve the congestion In front of the sheds and on the lawns the infield
will be thrown open, an expedient rarely found necessary at Latonia. Many notables are here to witness the running of the .special, among them Governor Edwin P. Morrow, of Kentucky, who will present the cup to the winner; Governor Harry L. Davis of (Thin nnd James M. Cox. former gov-
Iernor of Ohio and Democratic candidate for the presidency in 1920.
Judges of prices were of the opinion
that Morvick would rule favorite in the betting at odds of probably 7 to 5,
with the Whitney entry second choice, about 2 to 1; Pillory coming next in
favor around 4 to 1, and Deadlock G to 1. The Baker-Perkins entry wilt be the outsiders, probably 20 to 1. All the trainers declared they were satisfied with the condition of their horses and would offer no excuses if they are defeated.
