wkilll I I1U1 I U UUA i'. , MICHIGAN CITY, Ind.. Aug. 3. -- After having layed off fighting for a period of time Ever Hammer hinks

that he is much better off thaa If he had kept on hammering away in an effort to reach the top. He does not believe in the old saying that a boxer can't come back, but says that he Is better than he -was before he quit. "In my own case, a short leave of

aDsence from the ring worked wonders with me," he said. "In 1918 I had reached a point where it wasn't a pleasure to train. It was getting my goat as they put it. Now, I don't think a fellow can succeed at anything he doesn't enjoy. So I hung up the gloves and forgot them. I fired on the railroad. I milked cows.' I cooked

in i.os Angeies. "When I started my comeback I had made up my mind that if I didn't feel keen about it I'd stay out for good. My first match was with Arlos Fanning. I licked him. It pleased me. I got a genuine kick out of boxing, the same ,as I had when I began back in the gas house district in Chicago. "I have had 14 boutsNeince thenall of them victories. By being able to tip over such boys as Richie Mitchell and Charlie White, I feel I'm a 'comeback' who has really upset the dope. "As you know, I've boxed both Leonard and Tendler, but that was before my comeback. I boxed Leonird in Kansas City in October, 1916, before Ben won the title from Welsh the next May. It was a pretty mixy match. He knocked me down in the twelfth round but I wasn't hurt. I would hav been on my feet right away, but my manag

er, Kid Howard, thought I was wrecked

for good and jumped into the ring. That disqualified me and Leonard won a technical knockout. MICHIGAN CITY, Aug. 3. Because of the danger of reopening the cut over his right eye, received in the match with Lew Tendler, Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, will do no box,ing in preparation for his ten-round contest with Ever Hammer, the Chicago challenger, here next Saturday afternoon. This was the announcement of Billy Cibson, manager of the Champion, today after he examined the injury. The most dangerous wound is in the eyebrow, it is similar to the one Jack Dempsey received when he was training for his match with Georges Carpentier a year ago. The other cut is in the lid. This la nparlv Titaler1

As Leonard rest3 here on the front

porcn or nis cottage on the' shore of

J-aice Micnigan, he is planning ahead for an extended trip to Europe to show his class in foreign rings before he decides to lay aside the gloves and retire. Benny's mother and sister keep right at his elbow and they talk over plans for the trip abroad, for they are going along., it is as much for his mother and sister as for himself, that the champion will make the tour. The champion's camp is one of the liveliest on the beach. The phono, graph grinds jazz from morning until night and is locked np only-while Benny sleeps at night or when he nans

in the afternoon. Leonard love3 to dance and his mother, and sister are his partners most of the time. Both Hammer and Leonard will virtually wind up their training tomorrow.

McGRAW VETERAN OFF ON BATTING RAMPAGE AGAIN

MORTON GOMES BACK FOR SPEAKER'S TEAM

Guy Morton is the Alabama blossom who used to kill squirrels with stones before he- joined the big show. In the Indians' present rampage this hurler, over one span of "46 innings, allowed only 11 runs and 30 hits, a low percentage in these clouting days, And from a hurler who, for three or four seasons, has been near the end because of his inability to get going,

this showing is all the more remark

able. Morton's return to his old time form and above it was not performed in a day. Three years ago Morton appeared done. Not only did he fail to pitch winning ball but his terrible fielding and slow thinking also handi

capped him. Lee Fohl, the man who brought him to the big leagues, despaired of making Morton a dependable pitcher. When Tris Speaker became manager he labored long with Morton, at first without any results. Guy's case seemed hopeless. Then Morton himself took a hand. Realizing for the first time that time was slipping and tbat he was wasting brilliant opportunities, Morton took his case seriously. He added to Speaker's efforts to correct his fielding faults a desire to work. He labored hours a day fielding from the box and from every infield position during practice. This sprjng he paid little attention to actual pitching. It probably was well. The weather was too cold for real benefit anyhow. Morton Gets Going. While the weather remained cold Morton failed to get going. Then came . the eastern trip into boiling weather, and he started in. Guy was born in Vernon, Ala.. June 1, 1S93. Starting with the Colunibu3, Ga , team in the Cotton States league, in 1913, he drew instant attention because of his marvelous control and -speed. The Cleveland club signed him and farmed him to Waterbury, Conn., in the Eastern association, then directed by Lee Fohl. Cleveland recalled him late in 1914 and he has been with that outfit ever since. ' His two best years were in 1916 and 191S. He won 13 and lost six the former year and won 14 and lost eight the latter. The year the Indians won the pennant, he won eight and lost six games. Last year he won as many games and lost but three. This year he ought to turn in a much better average.

YANKEES TAKE SPURT;

BATTERS GO OH SPREE NEW YORK, Aug. 3. The" Yankees by taking the measure of Speaker's Indians, 5 to 1, while the Browns were

losing a home run hitting tilt to the

Athletics, 8 to 4, have moved to within a game of the league-leading St.

Louisans.

Kenneth Williams, of the Browns, with his sixth circuit blow in as many days, increased his season total to 28,

and now is leading the home run hitters of both major leagues. Hornsby,

of the Cardinals, previously led with

27. Hauser, McGowan and Miller, of

the Mackmen, accounted for four base

hits in the. same game.

The Yankee's victory over Cleveland

was marked by the hurling of "Bullet

Joe" Push, who held the Speakentes

to two hits, and a single by Jamieson

in the fh-st frame, and the other

triple by Wamby in" the ninth. Warn-

by was brought home by Speakers

sacrifice fly for the only Indian score.

Meusel and Ruth had a batting

frolic, the former accounting for a

homer and a single, and Ruth two

two-baggers and a single.

Walter Johnson proved as usual, too great an enigma for the White Sox, and the Senators won, 4 to 1. The only national league contest, between the Cub3 and the Phillies, went 15 innings to a 7 to 7 tie, and then was called because of the condition of the diamond.

' Casey Stengel. Way back in the sticks cf Mudville, we are told, Casey struck out. But Mudville's famous whiffer was no relation to New York's Casey. Stengel is the last part of hi': name. The veteran, who was supposed to "be all in," is banging the ball with much gusto for McGraw'a pennant chasers.

opening game with the Brooklyn Dod

gers on Ebbet's field Tnursaay. ive games are to be played with the Dodeers in the series.

felt sure that they could win both

games from the cellar-champions.

a four-game series, starting Aug. 7, the day after the final game at Brooklyn. The Reds will then come down to Pittsburg for two games, starting Aug. 11.

Lynn nine. New Paris will have a new man on short, by the name of Lewis. . He is touted to be a good short field man and able to cover his territory. . With the infield strengthened in this manner, the fans hope to witness some real baseball. The Lynn Aces have not been Idle during recent games, and they will rely upon Jones on the mound and Meredith behind thebat

lievo Madison, Eaton Teams To Play Off Tyo-Year Tie EATON, Ohio, Aug. 3. Each team having won a game from each other in the past two years.
