SPIKES ONCE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES THAN DIGGING IN SOD

By FHASTK C. JIKN'KE "Spikes once were among the most Important assets of a ball player," related William (Kid) Glcason, bos3 of the White Sox, Mbut nowadays the boys have become so refined they do not use 'em for any. other purpose than to jam 'em into the sod. "But when I played the game hew! "Once there was a third baseman who violated some of our spiking; rules. He stuck 'em into a scoondj baseman's chest That was very unethical, for we had a sort of unwritten law against spiking above the waistline. Below the waist that was O. K. " 'I'll get you for that,' hissed the second baseman. "He did about two innings later. He got around to second base and! then started , for third on a drive through the infield. He probably could have scored on the play but that wasn't his purpose. As he turned third he knocked the third baseman doe.-n. then faked a fall himself, recovered and slid back to third. But ' in doing so he was very careful to slide hi3 spikes right into the face of the third baseman. "On another occasion one second baseman got a rough deal as he wa3 going into the keystone bag one day. I think the fellow there, after blocking hira off, punched him in the nose playful like. He Got Revenge "The next time the puncher got on first, the punched second baseman was

waiting for him. As the runner started m to steal, the man who had been

v punched ran up the line to meet him

He ran so far up that there wasn't any chance to make the catch. But that wasn't his intention, anyway. "All he did was to leap into the air, spikes first, and throw himself at the oncoming runner. There was a colli sion. The second baseman, first to recover, jumped to his feet, jumped onto the other fellow's back and ground his spikes in. That spiking, vplus the cuts the runner got in the collision, laid him on the shelf for a week. "Those were the good old days of red-blooded baseball with most of the blood trickling around on the ball field." ' It Really Happened Once upon a time this one really! happened m a game between Birmingham and Atlanta. Birmingham had a man on first and another on second. . Henline hit a ball through the infield, whereupon everybody started a wild sprint. The man who had been on second crossed third, started for home and then ran back to third because he thought a. coacher had yelled at him to Vio so. That man got back to third just at the moment that the man who had been at first arrived. And there the pair stood glaring at each other. Meanwhile the outfielder had fumbled the ball. Henline, seeing it as he was nearing second, decided to try for an extra base. So, with head down, and all sails set, he tore along for third base. He made a wild dive for the bag and his feet, oversliding the cushion, knocked over his two team-mates who were standing there. All three Birmingham players were sprawling upon the ground as the O third baseman got the relayed throw from the outfield. Very expertly he touched all three runners and made a triple play perhaps the only one of its kind in baseball history. Here's Another One Years ago "Buck" Freeman hoisted one of Chief Bender's offerings over the PhiladelDhia fence. The ball landed squarely on top of the haad of j a . man walking along the street it .dropped him to the pavement as though he had been hit with the pick axe. A crowd gathered. A policeman hurried to the scene. He shoved back the crowd and just as he was- about to lean over the prostrate citizen the aforementioned citizen came to. ' The first thing he saw was a policeman, armed with a big club, standing over him. The first thing he felt was a whale of a bump on top of his head. He examined his conscience, discovered that he had committed no sin and then he got mad. He jumped to his feet and swung a fist at the cop. Missing, he aimed a kick at the guardian of the law, and then tried another right hook. Thereupon the cop grabbed him. "What's the idea of trying to murder me?" demanded the policeman. "What was your idea trying to murder me?" bellowed the citizen. "Who me?" asked the cop. "Yes, you you cracked me on the head, you dirty skunk, and I hadn't done a thing," and the citizen, breaking out with a new rash of rage, tried to kick and bite the policeman. It required five minutes of explanaI tion by the policeman, and by witnesses of the accident, to convince the citizen that the cop was wholly innocent (Ceprrlgb 1021 By Kin Feature Syndicate.

Spectators at the St. Louis-New York game yesterday, first of their Important series, which the Browns took by the one-sided score of 8 to 0, were by no means stingy in voicing their disapproval of the latest New York-Boston deal. Joe Dugan. who figured in the bargain, was greeted with hooting and j jeering when he made his debut in a Yankee uniform yesterday. Elmer Smith, the other newly acquired Yankee, was not given a chance to appear in the lineup. Members of the Chamber of Commerce and of the Rotary club were awaiting th3 result of their letters sent yesterday to Commissioner Landis. President Johnson of the American league, and President Heydler, of the National league protesting against the deal, which was characterized as "unsportsmanlike" and "indefensible". Local papers in their sport columns have ridiculed the deal, referring to it as another "Frazee-Ruppert and Houston double play."

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

CALIFORNIA RAGING WILL BE CONDUCTED : WITH BETTING BARRED By ROBERT A. DONALDSON (United Pres Staff Correspondent) SAN FRANCISCO, July 26. A racing season to compare in quality with any anywhere in the country-without betting of any kind. . r That is the proposition which a group of well-known racingmillianaires of California will attempt to put over at Tanforan track, a few miles out of San Francisco. The old Tanforan track, famed in the days before betting was legislated out of existence in California In 1911, is being reconstructed by the Pacific Coast Jockey club, organized by a group of millionaires Construction is already under way, and it has been announced that everything will be in readiness for a big Thanksgiving Day opening. - Those interested are A. B. Sprecklcs, president; Rudolph Spreckels, vicepresident; Herbert Fleishacker, treasurer; Howard Spreckels, secretary; A. K. Macomber, C. K. G. Billings, Frank J. Kelly, and Thomas Fortune Ryan, the New York capitalist and sportsroan, directors. Colonel D. C. Jafckling is also in terested in the venture, but recently resigned from active work because of ( other business. His place was filled by Ryan. The club has announced that neither handbooks, oral betting, nor pari-mut-uels will be tolerated at the track, and the track officials will co-operate with the police to bar all bookies and gamblers from entering the stands. Circulate Petitions At the same time, however, petitions are being circulated throughout California in hope of getting the voters on the initiative ballot this November. The Pacific Coast Jockey club has announced that it is connected in no way with this movement, and is confident that the highest class racing in the county can be conducted without betting. There is aparently great interest among the best horsemea in. the country in the venture and applications for stalls have been received from some of the biggest breeders. A contract was recently let for the construction of 500 stalls. An excellent grandstand is under construction and plans call for landscape gardening which, it is said, will make the track one of the show places of California. The Spreckels brothers are well known racing .enthusiasts and breeders, as is Col. Jackling. Ryan is also a noted breeder, and has an extensive establishment in Nelson County, Vir giniathe "Oak Ridge Stable." The imported stallion Sea King is at the head of Ryan's stable. Ryan also recently purchased the two-year-olds Runelise and Runetta from A. B Spreckels, and it is likely that they will be seen under his colors at Tan foran this fall. Runelise is a full sister to Morvich. Although betting will be barred at the track, bettors are reported to be looking forward to ample opportunities in San Francisco, where the usual casual police raids have failed to make much headway against betting on New Orleans, Tijuana, Kentucky or eastern results. COBB BACK IN OLD PLACE AT HEAD OF BATTERS (By Associated Press) DETROIT, Mich., July 26.

SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

Chips and Slips FULTON IS DONE. Plasterer Fred showed conclusively that he can no longer be classed as a factor in the heavyweight squabble for a crack at Dempsey when he and Capt Bob Roper put on their sorry exhibition in Newark, N. J., recently. Fulton, at his best, could have toyed with Roper, wound him into knots and then dropped him. As it was, critics disagreed as to who put up the worse fight of the two. The Minnesota giant has had a colorful, albeit a disappointing career. He started out on the "white hope" way with everything in his favor height, reach, speed, agility and what seemea to be the fighting heart. He l l j i - tt.uucn.ea out, secona-rate heavies as one takes his dinner dessert. Then came his bout with Jack Dempsey at arnson, w. j.. m 1918. Jack knocked him out in something like 76 seconds. The bout had a bad air. A few months later Fulton "confessed" that he had taken a dive. He appeared to be done. Then he went over to EpgJand and seemed to find new life in two bouts with English heavies. Joe Beckett looked him over- and sidestepped him. This sojourn seemed to be what Fulton needed. Apparently he had lost his fear of punishment. But the hopes of his friends soon were blasted. Back home again he fell a prey to chicken-heart. The last couple of years he has fought second raters without astonishing succe&s. His most important bout was his one with Harry Wills. That colored gentleman knocked Fred out' in the third round. One man who had Fred's goat was the lumbering, slow thinking Carl Morris. .This human punching bag made Fulton climb out of the ring a couple of times. By all that is reasonable in the ring Fulton , with his speed, skill and reach, should have been able to toy with Morris. Fred did eventually knock Carl out but not until Carl was done. Fulton is a native of Blue Rapids, Kan., he was born April 18, 1891. "You ought to be proud of your country," said the militant patriot T am," said Mr. Bibbles, "That is, most of the time." "Is thpre ever a moment, sir, when you cease to regard the United States as the greatest country on the globe?" "Yes-. When I've been swindled by a bootlegger I couldn't cheer the flag to save my life." The largest previous score run up by the eds this season was 11 runs, which they had reached three times. Fifteen tallies is the season's record for the team. It's a good thing that jthey came yesterday, too, for 11 runs would not nave ueen goou it a win. V mm 1 i15 T mm m Distributed

BROWNS AND GIANTS TIGHTEN THEIR GRIPS ON LEAGUE PINNACLES NEW YORK, July 26. The St. Louis Browns and New York Giants had firmer holds today on their lead-! ership in the American and National league races as a result of their vie-! tories in the opening games of the crucial series with the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals. Two and a half games separated the leading American league rivals as they ,opened the second encounter, while the chief combatants in the National had a gap of but half a gap between them. Urban Shocker recovered his ability to jinx the Yankees after four j straight setabacks and weaved a shutout spell over Murderers' Row, whilo his mates knocked Submarine Carl Mays from the box and tallied eight runs. Ken illiams lashed out his 22nd homer and scintillated in the field. The Giant's had a more strenuous time with the Cardinals, winning 9 to 8, chiefly by virture of a seven-run mellee in the fifth that drove Bill Doak from the box. St. Louis rallied in the ninth and came within a run of tying the count by driving across four tallies off Fred Toney, Ty Cobb took the American league batting leadership from his St Louis rival, George Sisler, by a margin of one point as a result of obtaining four hits off Walter Johnson and leading his team to an 8-5 victory over Washington. Cobb's unofficial batting average today was .411 and Sisler's .410. Guy Morton shut out the Athletics 4 to 0 in the first game of a double header, but failed in an "iron man" attempt to pitch both contests. He was knocked out of the box in the fifth inning of the second encounter, and the Mackmen broke even with Cleveland by winning 11 to 4. Blankenship twirled the White Sox to a 3-1 victory over Boston. Watson's poor fielding aided the Chicago Cubs to score six runs off him in the fourth and defeat the Boston Brave3 6-3, while Cincinnati capture d asluzfest from Philadplnhia.

LEW TENDLER BENT. V 7 OH SLASHING ATTACK ON LEONARD'S BODY DELANCQ, N. J., July 26. A bit of polishing up today tnd Lew. Tendler, Philadelphia challenger, will be in tiptop shape for whathe hopes will be a victory over" Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, in their world's title bout in Jersey City tomorrow night. The only exercise he planned for today was some strenuous tapping of the punching bag to keep limbered up. The remainder of the day he intends to spend lolling about the lawn of his house here and strolling down the bank of the Delaware, which runs right past this place. ' Lew is quiet and inclined to listen. but observers wonder if this if from progressive lockjaw or from contlnual clenching of his teeth when some one remarks that Benny Leonard says the challenger is in the primer class of pugilism. He has been here nearly three weeks, far from the crowd who can't find the place . Several groups of admirers have organized exploring parties, but all that has reached the camp is a litter of letters explaining how the cause was lost. A messenger boy found the house today. Tendler smiles frequently, but apparently has-liis mind on something. Reclining on his porch in the evening a dreamy appearance comes Into his eyes, and when someone says, "Lew, Louie, what are you dreaming about?" Lew smiles broadly. Then . he goes to bed. Same Old SouthPaw The .challenger will be the same sort of southpaw battler he has always been when he steps into the ring at Boyle's Thirty Acres. He has spent long hours trying to crowd more power (into his powerful left arm, and a wee bit more of co-ordination into his right. He says he has succeeded. Tendler is bent on continuing with both arms, his body busting, rib-ripping tactics from close range. His sparring bouts show It His pet diversion is caving in somebody's superstructure and he evidently will carry on the same sort of struggle that has made his campaign to be the logical contender a successful one. Tendler's training quarters here were not what he had anticipated, but he is: satisfied He was prevented from .occupying an Ideal mansion on the river bank by vandals who broke in and smashed most of- the furniture a few days before hia arrival. That necessitated . renting . a house two blocks from. a." portable, ring with two boarded sides,' which was set up in a field behind, a garage. He has been favored with warm weather and little rain and is thoroughly tanned. He will remain here until tomorrow and then take a train to Jersey City to weigh in at 2 o'clock . All three of the Reds' homers went over the right-field fence. Wrightstone's clout landed in the left field bleachers on the fly. vr'-. 1 - - aw-: ISM
