GAVENEY GIVES REDS WIN OVER BROOKLYN! HOME RUNS FEATURE

BROOKLYN. Aug. 5... Hitting In the pinches enabled the- Cinci Redlegs ! to even the series -with Brooklyn on' Ebbets field Friday, -with a score of 6 to 5. Jimmy Caveney connected for a double in the ninth inning after Fonseca and Pinelli had singled, scoring two runners ahead of him. The game was more or less a seesaw affair from the start, and it was a mighty important win for the Moran men. Opening the ninth with one run behind to shoot at, the Reds produced the tying tally and the winning ' counter immediately following. Duncan and Hargrave poled home runs in the fifth inning, which landed into the far-off left field bleachers. This gave the Reds a one-run lead, but Tom Griffith tied things up again in the' eighth inning with one of his long flies over the right field wall for the circuit. " The verv opening round was a starter for the Redlegs. With one out, Daubert was safe on an error by Olson, the ball being a hard hit grounder. Daubert went to third on Duncan's single to center and scored on Harper's double to left, on which Duncan took third. After Fonseca had grounded out, Hargrave was purposely passed, filling the bases. Ruethen pitched to Babe Pinelli, who popped a fly to Olson. Brooklyn Leads Brooklyn snatched the lead in their half of the first on singles by Johnston, Griffith and Wheat With Griffith on third, Myers bunted to the box, trf? fh nnneeze nlav. and Couch got an n TTare-rave in plenty of time hut. the Red catcher muffed it iiirei rirt frith to cet back to f V I ativnvv third safely. Then Griffith scored on Schmandt's long fly to center. TViitch Ruether went along from the first on, very well until the fifth, when Duncan and Hargrave spelled his day with homers. , . After the Robin rally in the eighth inning which put them one run ahead, the Red3 came in for their last bat3 in desperation to win. Bressler batted for Harper, but retired on a fly to Wheat. Fonseca singled to right and Bohne ran for him. Hargrave forced Bohne at second for the second out. Neale then went in to run for Hargrave. Pinelli beat out a hit to deep short and then Jimmy O.veney was up. The clever shortstop produced with the much needed double and brought in the two tallies. Keck then held the Robins. The Score.

St. Louis teams today were leading both major leaeue baseball 'races. The Cardinals, by taking their second straight victory from the Phillies, 9 to 7, ascended to the top when McGraw's Giants split a twin bill with the Cubs. The Browns, in a game of 25 hits, 15 of which were for extra bases, defeated the Athletics 9 to 4 and maintained their one-game lead over the Yankees, who, with Ruth; 19th home run of the season, were victorious over the Indians, 7 to 5. Two former Boston hurlers, Hugh McQuillan and John Scott, hurled for the Giants in the two games against the Cubs. McQuillan, held up by brilliant support for eight innings, became too generous in the ninth and the Cubs, with three runs, won 3 to 2. Scott held the Cubs to seven hits in the second game, winning 2 to 1 over the veteran Alexander. , Bade Adams, "the aged," allowed three hits in eight innings to Brave hitters and the Pirates won 3 to 0. Rain saved the game for Adams in the ninth after Powell had hit a home run and two men, with a single and a dou ble, rested on second and third witn two out. But then the game reverted to the eighth. Tho Brooklyn club lost 9 hoaw hitting affair to the Reds, 6-5 Cobb's Tigers, with Dauss hurling areii defeated the Red Sox 2 to 0. It -a-as Detroit's eighth straight victory.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

GREAT GAME SUNDAY AT EXHIBITION WHEN EAGLES MEET GRAYS A real game of baseball which will carry tho interest of the fan throughout the entire nine innings is expected Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, when the Eagles .nd Cambridge City Grays hook-up for nine innings of the fastest baseball displayed at the park all year. - r . The teams are going to be so evenly balanced during the -performance that the entertainment will be of the highest order. Although the Cambridge team has been here before, they will meet more opposition than they have had in the past. With an infield, such as the Eagles will have for Sunday's game, a decidedly different light will be cast upon the situation. In the past, the weakness of the Eagles has been the infield's inability to handle the grounders of the opposing batters. The outfield has performed in good enough form, but now, the entire line-up is set for any kind of game. Eagle Infield Strong Riley, former Connersville MinuteMen third-sacker, and who played with the Eagles last Sunday, will be on deck again. He hits the ball hard and is a good fielder. His speed should go good with that of Minner, at short; J. Logan, at second, and Byrket at first. Harmon will pitch, Hubbard will catch, and Fitzgibbons, Snydei and Eubanks will fill the garden berths, starting from right field across the lot. Cambridge will come to Richmond with their regular line-up, which has played all season. Batson will hurl, Strickler will catch, Diffenderfer, in left field; Caldwell, ss.; Long, cf.; Knott, 2b.; Creager, 3b.; Runnells, rf., and Hunt, lb. , i PINCH-PITCHER PART OF DIAMOND STRATEGY In a field of sport where all new strategy was supposed to have been exhausted years ago, baseball this year has sprung a new one. Since the time when there were more than nine men available on team, the pinch-hitter has become an 'institution of smart baseball, but it re mains for 1923 to develop the pinchpitcher. Le Fohl, the wise manager of the St. Louis Browns, was the first one this season to resort to this new strategy. At a critical moment in ttie recent crucial series between the Browns and the Yanks, Fohl derricked the sensational young "Shucks" Pruett, after he had fanned Babe Ruth for the third time. The fans couldn't understand the reason for the move when Van Gilder, a big right hander was sent in to pitch to Meusel. T wanted a right hand pitcher to pitch to a right hand batter. That's simple," Fohl said when asked to explain the strategy. It worked too. Kid Gleason then came along with example No. 2 and it started the most intersting battle of managerial wits that has been seen on the Polo gfounds. It was the last half of the ninth inning with the White Sox leading the Yanks 7 to 4. Ruth walked to start the inning. Meusel and Schang went out making it two down. Ward and Scott singled filing the bases. "No Hit" Robertson! was pitching. The weak hitting McNally was coming up when Huggins sent in Frank Baker to bat for him. Gleason dashed out and ordered Southpaw Ferd Schupp to relieve Robertson. Huggins jerked Baker back and sent in Fred Hoffman, a right hand batter, for Baker. Schupp got rattled and walked Hoffman forcing in a run. Murray, young pitcher, was due at the bat, but Huggins jerked him and sent in Miller, a right hander to bat. Gleason called for a right hand pitcher and young Blankenship trudged in from, the bull pen., Huggins again countered by pulling back Miller and sending in Lefty O'Doul, a left hand batter. t O'Doul smacked out a single and scored two runs tying the score. The battle of wits might have been continued but both Gleason and Huggins wqre out of players and they had to finish according to Hoyle, the White Sox finally winning In the eleventh by the crack of Amos Strunk, Gleason's pinch hitter.

Above, the carefree eyes of Jess Willard when he climbed into the ling with Jack Dempsey in Toledo and, below, the determined eyes that will face Dempsey if they meet again. Jack Dempsey is going to look into a different pair of eyes than he ever sa-w before if he meets Jess Willard again, a pair of eyes that flash fire, determination and eagerness instead of eyes carefree and overly self-confident. In 1919 the Willard eyes were anything but those of, a fighter. They mirrored most anything but a fighting heart.

However, Sisler, fared better than the Tiger Leader during the Jast week, as he made a gain of one point over his mane of the previous week, by playing in three games. Cobb on the other hand suffered a loss of three points in his last six games, accord- ! ing to batting averages released today and which include games of last Wed nesday. Cobb is topping the list with an average of .415 compared with .418 a week ago, while Sisler continues to be the runner-up with .405 a gain of one point over his mark of last week.

However, Sisler'3 mark of 34 stolen bases is far above that of any of his opponents. Ken Williams gave the home run hitters something to shoot at when he cracked out six homers in as many days, and ran his string of four base blows to 28, giving him the lead for the season among the major league home run clouterc, his closest rival being Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Nationals who held the honor for several weeks.

St. Louis teams rejoice again! The Cardinals won Friday from Philadelphia while New York was dividing a twin-bill with Chicago, and the percentage allowed the St. Louis team to take the lead again in the National league. . The Browns continued their winning streak by taking the number of Philad3lphia. In winning 15 games for the Brooklyn club this year, Walter "Dutch" Ruether gets a bonus of $1,500. but if he wants to get the same amount for winning 20 games, h will have to tighten up somewhat. He has been hit rather hard in his recent starts. Pitcher Scott, who was traded to Cincinnati for Pitcher Marquard and Infielder Kopf, and who reported to the Red team for early spring work with a sore arm, has been signed by the New York Giants. He turned in a victory over Chicago Friday and yruveu nis improved rorm. He was given his unconditional release from the Reds. Another boner goes down in base ball history. Outfielder Wade, of the Minneapolis club of the American association, was the main performer in this feat. Fisher was at second and Wade was stationed on" first.

iHAMMER CONFIDENT: FEAR LEONARD'S EYE CUT WILL BE TARGET (By Associated Press) MICHIGAN CITY, Ind.. Aug. 5. This little city nestling In the dunes along the shore of Lake Michigan today was on the boxing map for the second time within.'" month. Benny Leonard, world's lightweight champion, will defend his title in a 10round, no-decision bout this afternoon against Ever Hammer, a rugged, aggresive Chicago lightweight. They meet at catch weights, and to take the championship Hammer must score a knockout or be fouled by Leonard. A month ago in the same ring, Leonard scored a technical knock-out over Rock Kansas, Buffalo. Hammer recently has scored a sensational comeback after IS months' absence from the ring. He recently has earned newspaper decisions over Richio Mitchell of Milwaukee, and Charlie White, of Chicago. .. ... Leonard is a strong favorite to win, but is prepared for a rough contest, a"s he regards Hammer as one of th-: division's mcst dangerous left-handed hitters. They met in 1916 before Benny had acquired the championship from Freddie Weslh, and Hammer gave Leonard a hard 12 rounds before Hammer's handlers stopped the bout after he had been floored. Boxing Taboo Leonard has done no boxing in prep aration for the contest, fearing a bad cut over his eye, received in his meet ing a week ago with Lew Tendler, would be reopened. Except for the unhealed cut Leonard is in excellent condition and says he Is faster and stronger than when he met Tendler, in which' match he had to scale undor 135 pounds. With an opportunity to win the championship, Hammer promises to set a terrific pace. He boxes with a puzzling style, always tearing in close and ripping left hooks to the head and body. He knocked White half way across the ring with a left hook and almost knocked out Mitchell with the same weapon. Leonard's handlers are perturbed because of the prospect of Hammer reopening the gash over Leonard's right eye. Th'ey figure Hammer will make it his chief target, hoping to start the blood and blind the champion. Leonard Heavier. Leonard has taken on a couple of pounds since the Tendler match and weight 137 this afternoon. Hammer plan.? to scale just under the 135-pound limit. There is an atmosphere of confidence in Hammer's camp. He believes he is destined to-win the championship and that he was directly responsible for Leonard taking it from Welsh. Six years ago Hammer boxed Welsh in Milwaukee and thinks ho gave the then title holder such a punching that he was "softened" for I Leonard, who knocked Welsh out few weeks later. Hammer, by this same line of reasoning, figures' Tendler "softened" Leonard. ' Indications early today were that the gate receipts would reach between $35,000 and $40,000. In addition to the usual crowd from Chicago, tho Indiana Elks convention, in session here, will contribute to the spctatorSENATORS TO TANGLE WITH GIANTS SUNDAY The Colored Community Giants will play the Richmond Senators on the Ratliff diamond Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock (daylight saving time). The Ratliff diamond is located in Fairview at the comer of West Fifth and School streets. On the roster for the colored boy3 are the best colored players in the city, who are capable of putting up a good exhibition of baseball. But, on the other hand, the Senators have played all season without a defeat as yet, according to their record. They have a snappy ball club, full of pep and are in the game for all there is in it. Considerable space is available for fans to watch the game. After going along hitless for two games, Burns and Duncan hit their Burns hit for two safeties, while Duncan came in for a home run drivp which was exceedingly welcome. liH'liniinttinimnHiniiiniiminininillinniiillininimmuiminitiiniilinniniii I MITCHELL Touring CAR I I $1595 Delivered i I Choice of several colors f I Steve Worley Garage I 1 211-213 N.
