REDLEGS' SPLENDID PLAY DROPS GIANTS FIRST TIME IN EAST
NEW YORK. Aug. 9. Cincinnati opened successfully against the Giants at the Polo grounds Tuesday and with the aid of four larsre tallies ?n the
tenth inning, won out 7 to 3. Eppa Rixey was. the Red hurler who waa effective with men on bases, although he allowed 13 hits during the 10 innings. All three Giant tallies were home run hits. Numerous boners were pulled by the Giant infield and helped the Redleg to win. Bancroft was credited with two errors, which proved very costly. Wonderful throws by Burns and Harper, saved the day for the Moran crew. Burns cut a runner off at the plate with a beautiful throw in the seventh inning. Harper was responsible for another game saving peg. This one was to second base, when Cunningham tried to stretch his single to right into a double. The throw nipped him off Becond and prevented him .scoring, as Ryan connected for a singje as next man up. Hargrave Breaks Ice Rixey and Nehf were both hurling great ball until the fourth when Hargrave broke the ice with a home run
into the left field stands. Rixey

rain. But, the rain held and the
game continued. Cinci let a chance to pile up a big lead go by in the sixth when they had the sacks loaded with none out. As it was they could score but one tally and that was a lucky one. Burns was , safe on a fumble by Bancroft, and Daubert and Duncan followed with singles. Harper bounced to the box and Burns was forced at the plate. Fonseca's grounder toward third baso was so slow that Groh did not have time to head off Daubert at the plate, and the run counted while the runner was being thrown out at first. Homers Fall to Help New York's homers came in the sixth, seventh and ninth innings, but that was all they amounted to, just a record of circuit swats. The Score.

By FRAXK G. MENKE j This Luis Firpo person continues to be more or less the unknown quantity of the prize ring. Beyond conceding the fact that he can sock with all the power of Jack Demp3ey the wise men. of the prize ring say he's a terribly crude person. But each adds : "If he's trained by a master for a Tear or two there's nn telllne what
rhe might accomplish."
Firpo came from out of the Argentine eight months or so ago an unknown. He claimed the. heavyweight championship of South America which no one disputed and which meant nothing. For, as far as, was known, South America didn't have two fighters who could have lasted two rounds
as sparring partners for a third rate American heavy.
Yet there was something about Fir-
po's makeup which seemed to shriek
"fighter." He's ef ideal build for a
heavyweight. He is big and powerful
of body, notching well beyond six feet. He beams around 215. His heal is set on his shoulders. His chin has the natural protection of his chest His arms are long and powerful and his hands big boned and huge, are
beautifully forme'd for clubbing pur
poses. Slew Foot in Ring There is litheness and grace in th movement of Firpo outside the ring, which is reminiscent of a tiger. His movements are free, smooth, powerful and fast. Yet in the ring he has been a slew foot. Master boxers claim it's all be-
caus
a
about ducking and less about sidestepping. Ix he ever heard the word "feint" he'd think it meant a sinking spell into unconsciousness. But that bird can sock my, oh, my, how he can sock! Yet he needs a lot of teaching in the the art of marksmanship. His left hand is only abour 0 per cent efficient; his right, as far as the timing and. delivery of punches are concerned, could stand 50 per cent improvement. For Firpo misses five shots out of six owing to telegraphy and a few kindred faults.' He might hace improved his shining hours in the U. S. A. by taking

i-v iukk, Aug. 9. wadding upi
holes in the New York Yankees has ii.. iv- y
vciciujicu leteuuy iuio me mere procss of engaging Harry Frazee in a little conversation and producing a roll of bills. For some unknown reason the New York club has ready access to any-thing-that Boston Red Sox possess in the line of a valuable ball player. Perhaps cashes the reason. The Yankees in the past three seasons have turned over money and players to the value of at least a half million doll'ars to the Boston club for Babe Ruth, Carl Mays. Waite Hoyt, Joe Bush, Sam Jones, Everett Scott, Wally S chang, Joe Dugan and Elmer Smith. . . The Yank3 can't be blamed for spending money for players when their investments brought them an
American League rennant. The curious part comes in trying to find a reason why the Red Sox will sell only to the Yanks. Admitting that the Yanks have more money to spnd than any other club in the-American League, does not make it clear why Frazee would rot even
listen, to the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox when they tried to buy from Frazee. Both of those dubs have money to spend and have" been spending it, but Frazee told them he
had no players on the market.
It is generally understood that Col. i Jacob Rupert, part owner of the Yan-I
kees, holds -a $100,000 mortgage on the
Boston American league grounds. No
one, however, has accused Ruppert of using it as a club over Frazee, but Frazee might think that he was bound to give the Yanks first call on any players that were ready for the market. Frazee apparently is only in baseball to make what he can get out of the sale of baseball players. The game itself is of little consequence to him. Since he took hold of the Red
Sox he has broken up one of the greatest clubs of modern years. He has sold off all his former stars for what must have been three quarters of a million dollars. That he has remaining a poor.mifit of a second division team seems to be of little concern to him. Frazee should be censured more than the New 'York owners. Cols. Rupert and Huston are both multi-millionaires and they are in baseball for the love of the sport alone. They are both real fans and they have spent more than a million dollars for the
prestige of being known as owners or a f enftant winning club. The Yanks however, rose to the top bv the reckless expenditure of money. Thy actually bought the 1921 pennant and they are going even stronger in having cash decide the 1922 championship. Baseball isn't on a foundation
strong enough to witnstana consistent
and just about the same sort of prospect as was Jim Jeffries in 1896 eny
one is quite likely to annihilate the pride of the Argentine, in about two rounds of fighting. But if Firpo puts himself under the tutorship of some old ling general Jim Corbett. Kid McCoy, or some of the others and absorbed their teachings for six months "or a year then all might be different. For Firpo can sock, with power unlike anyone has shown beyond Dempsey. And that, in itself, is the foundation upon which can be built a world's championship.

attacks of commercialism and syndicate baseball.
Some advance the argument tnat the Giants and the Yanks are entitled to have the best teams because they draw immense crowds in New York and on the road, and help the other clubs make money. However, making money would not seem as important a factor in preserving the prestige of baseball as in giving St. Louis, Boston, Cincinnati, Washington and the other way points a good home team for the home town fans to look at.
