EAGLES BATTLE FOR VICTORY OVER GRAYS BUT GAME IS CALLED
CAMBRIDGE CITY, Aug. 21 The score stood 10 to 8 in favor of the Richmond Eagles In the game here with the Grays. Sunday afternoon, and it was the opening of the Cambridge
half of the twelfth inning. Defender
grounded out to Byrkett for the first, out of the last half of the inning, j when the umpire called the game at six o'clock (Sunday closing law.) Then the result of the game had to stand a tie 8 to 8. the score reverting back to that of the ninth inning. This is the second consecutive game which the Cambridge team has played into extra innings. The same kind of game was played at Farmland two Sunday's ago. As indicated ,by the box score, the Eagles were playing real baseball and their exhibition was hard to beat Schultz started on the mound for the birdmen, but was touched fairly hard and so hard in the seventh that Manager Ashenfelter sent Harmon to the mound. "Lefty" went through several innings of tense play, but pulled out each time. Fitzgibbons Walks On the strength of a walk to Fltzgibbons in the first inning, the Eagles
were enabled to score after a sacrifice hit by Logan and Winter's error on Minner's grounder. Cy scored on Byrkett's fly to short center. Cambridge took it back in the second inning when Reddinghause tripled to right. The Eagle fielders were playing for a short blow and did not look for the former Eagle player to hit so far. Runnels flied out to Eubanks, Hunt singled, scoring Redd--vinhaua, Strickler forced Hunt at third ' and Battson fanned. Once again the Eagles took the lead :by a one-run margin in the third. Fitzgibbons lead off with a "perfect walk", Logan flied to Diffenderfer, ; Minner singled and th run was in. i Byrkett and Hanges let strikes go by i and fanned. Eagles Score Two
Two more Eagles tallied In the
fourth Inning making the situation ' look bad for Cambridge, Knight sin
gled to center and Eubanks sacrificed
him along to second, Hewitt singled
Knight scoring, Schultz was safe on
an error by Knott. Fitzgibbons let
strikes go by and was out. Logan singled scoring Hewitt, Schultz, was out at third by a neat throw from Diffenderfer from left field. But, Cambridge tied it up in their half of the fourth with four tallies on a safe bunt by Reddinhause, a walk to Runnels, an error on Byrkett and a triple by Stickler, Battson fanned for the first out, Diffenderfer singled Bcoring Stickler. The four tallies tied the score up and sent Cambridge one run to the good. Eagles Add Four More The Eagles added a quartette of tallies in the sixth on a single by Fitzgibons, and Knight, coupled with four errors by Cambridge , players. This gave the Eagles a lead of threo runs and the score was 8 to 5. But, in the next inning, the Grays took a
clean single to center, two bases on balls and advantage of two errors, giving them three tallies to tie the score. Each team had men on bases during the succeeding innings, but with Harmon in the box for the Eagles after the seventh inning and Battson tlghtrening up for the remainder of the game, the runners died on base. It was in the twelfth inning that
two Eagles tallies crosed the plate, and it was just 13 minutes of 6 o'clock the limit for ball games on Sunday. At this time Cambridge installed the 6 o'clock element and by the time Diffenderfer was put out on a grounder for the first out in the Grays half of the twelfth inning, the umps declared it quitting time and the whole thing was over. Knight Connects. Knight led off with his third hit of tie game by getting a clean single to center in the twelfth Inning. The Eagle catcher was scored on an unexpected single by Harmon. Previously, Hewitt had reached base and Harmon's blow landed him on third. Logan was safe at first on an error by Caldwell at short and Hewitt was In with the second tally of the game. At this time, the Grays raised a big rumpus over a decision at third base, which put another Eagle runner on
the third sack. Seemingly the runner

Gene Sarazen, the 21 year old American open golf champion, is good with golf sticks and he knows it. He is a cocky youngster with all the confidence, the enthusiasm and energy that an American youth carries into sports. There is nothing of the enlarged cranium apparent in his speech or actions, however. What symptoms he shows of liking his own game are not inordinate. They are but the tendencies of a winning temperament that make him the champion that he is. Recently one of the clubs around New York offered Sarazen $500 for an exhibition match and gave him the privilege of selecting his opponent. He surprised the club officials by
j asking them to get Jim Barnes for his
opponent.
Joe Kirkwood, the Australian trick shot artist, was kidding the young
cnampion about it. "Kinda pick 'em big, don't you Gene?" he asked. "Well, it'd be better to be knocked off by Barnes than some little bird,
woman t it?" Sarazen replied.

The time taken up by the Cambridge players made it three minutes to six when Diffenderfer took his place at the plate. He let three or four deliveries go by and finally swung on one of Harmon's offerings, but was out at first on an unassisted play by Byrkett. Hubbard Absent. Catcher Hubbard failed to show up at Cambridge for the game Sunday and Knight had to take the harness. Hewitt, a Richmond player, filled in rT.at center field in great style. He accepted two fielding chances without a wobble and connected timely at bat. Knight and Minner were the heavy clouters for the Eagles with three hits each and Diffenderger and Reddingliaus were the stellar performers for the Grays with three safeties each. However, the fans were given a treat of batting and they appreciated the chance to see some heavy hitting.

Allowing but four hits during the nine innings, Farrell, Connersville's crack hurler, led the Minute Men to an 8 to 1 victory over Liberty here Sunday afternoon. Liberty's one run came in the eighth inning. Features of the game were triples by Miller and Reiter. Farrell had things his own way most of the time and showed his class by fanning 14 batters. Rosson was fairly effective for Liberty, but three errors by his mates were costly. Reiter scored Liberty's only marker in the eighth inning on a long three bagger and Rosson's single put him across. Hart hit a home run to left in the eighth inning for the final Connersville tally. Rosson handed Connersville two runs in the second inning when he heaved wide to third base. The score:

SPARTANSBURG, Aug. 21 New Madison lost to the Spartansburg base ball nine here Sunday afternoon in a hotly contested game of baseball, 4 to 2.

and Bill Brennan, today made public a letter to Governor McCray. in which
he formally notified the governor that the bout had been called off. "While I do not admit that it had been my intention to violate the law of the state by putting on a prize fight contrary to the statutes of Indiana, yet I am bowing to your will." the letter said. "As governor of the state of Indiana, you have spoken, and your word with me is law, even though in yielding without a struggle, as I do, I am sorry to adimt that I am financially embarrassed far more grievously than you can imagine. "It requires courage to make this decision," the letter continued, "and I only hope that you appreciate that first and above all things, that myself, Mr. Dempsey, Mr. Brennan and
Mr. Kerns are men who have respect
for authority and who desire to maintain boxing, not only in this state, but elsewhere, on the highest possible level. "The publicity given not only as to the boxing exhibition, but primarily as to your decision, was national, and now that I have spoken there will be no blazing headlines carrying defiance to the wishes of the governor of the etate of Indiana." Dempsey, who went to Chicago to visit friends, is expected to leave for California after a conference with Manager Kearns, who will leave here tomorrow. Brenncn said he expected to remain here for a couple of days before coming to Chicago to see what his manager had in view.
