REDLEGS CLIMB INTO THIRD PLAGE; RIXEY AND PINELLI SHINE

; CINCINNATI. Ohio. Sept 8.Eppa Rixey wa3 responsible again and the Redlegs advanced a rung In the National league race, dropping St. Louis In the second game of the series, 10 to 6. The big southpaw had everything working fine for him and his work lodged the Redlegs In third place for the first time this season. Lou North, was so effective against the Reds in his last workout against them, was soon lifted off the hill when the Moran men took a notion to a rally in the fourth Inning and pushed seven tallies over before the inning closed. Eddie Roush, who had a difference of opinion with Umpire Charley Moran i In Wednesday s game, was out in unl- ; form for practice before the game, but had to leave when the game started. He has drawn an indefinite suspension for nls words witn Moran ana u is likely that he will be kept out for at i least three days. George Harper is i filling his shoes in good shape, and it may be a chance for him to keep his position. Reds Have Big Fourth. i Three tallies In the first inning put ! the Reds to the front Burns walked, ! and Daubert, Harpe and Plnelll hit safely in order. The Redlegs came back in the fourth Inning and made a real rally count for seven tallies after 'two men were out Pmelli led oil with another single. Caveney fanned, but Wingo singled. Wingo was forced at second by Rixey for the second out Burns got his second base on balls, filling the bases. Daubert doubled to left. Duncan singled and Harper walked. Fonseca singled. North was then retired lor the day. Pinelli came up for the second time in the round. singled to left and scored two runs ahead of hin. He was thrown out at second, trying for two bases on his hit. Cards Come Up. Two walks, a single by Hornsby and a fumble by Fonseca gave the Cards their run in the third round. Two more came in the sixth for the Cards when Stock and Schultz singled and Blades tripled. Hornsby's triple and Stock's double gave them another in the eighth. Two more In the ninth didnt hurt anything, for the game was already won. The score: Cincinnati. .

GRAYS AND BiRDMEN TO MIX IT UP AGAIN Those two baseball clubs, whicn like to play each other so well, will get into action once more- at Exhibition park Sunday afternoon. Namely, they are the Richmond Eagles and the Cambridge City Grays. They have played so often that they naturally get the habit and they have to meet. The first game of the season was a 1 to 0 win for the Eagles, behind the pitching of "Lefty" Harmon, and since then the clubs have met so often that it is too numerous to recount. At any rate, the Cambridge City club has won consistently from the Eagles and the birdmen are now in the best shape of their present season. Eagles Gain Prestige A victory over the Connersville Minute-Men means something, for that club is one of he highest repute in the district. It has met defeat but few times this year and they pack a J eavy hitting roster. "Rus" Hawekotti was able to quell their hitting ability last Sunday and in this manner, the Eagles were able to come to the front for a win. With Hawekotte on the mound for Richmond and Battson opposing him for Cambridge, what better game of baseball is wanted. The fielders on the two clubs are about even as far as ability is concerned and it will be a battle of hitting during the full nine innings. Probable Line-ups The line-ups of the two teams will be as follows: Cambridge, Battson, p; Stickler, c; Hunt, lb; Knott, 2b; Reddinghaus, 3b; Winters, ss; Dilfenderfer. If; Long, cf; Runnels, rf. Eagles Hawekotte, p; Hubbard, c; Byrkett, lb; J. Logan, 2b; Henees, Sb; Minner, bs; Eubanks, If; Knight, cf; Fitzgibbons, rf. FOOTBALL GAMES WANTED DAYTON, Ohio, Sept. 8. The Valley A. C.'s, one of the fastest football teams in southern Ohio, averaging from 145 to 150 pounds wants to book games with teams of that weight in or out of Richmond, to be played on the opponents' field. Those interested should write James J. O'Meara, manager, 2107 East Third street, Dayton, Ohio. Babe Pinelli came through with four safe hits out of as many times at bat in Thursday's game, making it seven safeties out of eight trips to the plate during the two games withthe Cards in the present series. The Italian surety has set a pace with Moran's team this year at bat and in the field. No wonder the fans don't miss Heinie Groh.

"5 these two Missouri teams clash the lucky fans would see two of the greatest home run hitters of the year in a circuit clouting duel Ken Williams of the Browns and Rogers Hornsby &1 the Cardinals. Benjamin Allen, Former Billiard Champion, Will Attempt To Regain Title Seven years ago Benjamin Allen lost the pocket billiard championship. Now he is tuning up his eye and cue to wrest that title from Ralph Greenleaf, present title-holder, in one of the three big green table events scheduled for the coming billiard season. The national pocket billiards cham pionship tourney is to be staged in Philadelphia early in the winter. Greenleaf will defend his title. ' Allen is a Kansas City product. He broke into fame overnight by his show ing in tne world s championship tour ney staged at CMcago in April, 1908. it was nis tirst big tourney and he was unknown when he stepped up with his cue for the first match. Al fred DeOre, Charley Weston and the other formidable players proved too mucn tor him, but his play gave warn ing tnat ne would demand recognition Four years later he met De Ore and won the title from him. Allen held it against all challengers- until 1915. Greerfleaf, now only 22. after wear ing the crown three years, is at the top of his form, apparently, so Allen will find him a hard man to beat. But the Kansas City gent has confidence aplenty.

The object of a three-man team i3 to have available an extra player if one member of the team is absent for some reason. The tournament is being staged on two courts in the rear yard of the Chase Derbyshire pharmacy, Main streets.

Little. Captain Jack Mattox has been getting considerable work done in the way of improving his own condition and is now in fine shape to lead the remainder of the squad in the preliminary workouts. Weight is lacking this year, and Little will be forced to make his team one with considerable speed to over-, come this handicap. Uniforms will soon be ready for the regular eleven. The jerseys will be red with white stripes around the sleeves. With the opening game with Hamilton but three weeks away, quite a job is on the shoulders of Coach Little, but by the time of the game, which i3 Saturday, Sept.

Promoters War Between

Rickard and By FHA7TK G. MEXKB Grave rumors are in circulation In fistiana circles that New York will soon see one of the merriest little box ing wars ever staged. It will undoubtedly take the form of a promoter's war, with the survival of the fittest The war will likely be staged by Tom O'Rourke, who resigns from the State Boxing Commission to take up the position of matchmaker of the Republic A. C. and Tex Richard. The Republic will stage its bouts" in the his toric Poio Grounds. Contracts for larger seating capacity on th? Polo Grounds have been let " Another addition to the grand stand will be built, making it triple decker, while the bleachers wil be double1 decker. ' Of course Tex has three sites in which to stage boute, but only one of them. Boyle' Thirty Acres in Jersey uity, win De aoie to compete wun ui Polo Grounds a far as seating capacity is concerned. Madison Square Garden, where Tex holds his indoor fights in the winter, will only accommodate about 13,000 fight fans, while the Veldrome, the outdoor site in upper New York, only has a seating capacity of 27,000. No Guarantees Here's the dope. Under the rules of the New York State Boxing Commission prices of seats are limited and fighters cannot be given guarantees of fabulous purses. They cannot receive more than a certain percentage of the receipts. Tex can only accommodate 27,000 at the most in hi3 New York outdoor site. The Polo Grounds with added seat ing capacity, will be able to accom modate close on to 75.000 persons. In bidding for the championship event it is a cinch that Tom O'Rourke will be able to offer better inducements to a fighter to box at the Polo Grouds than Tex will be able to do to have the performance staged at the Veldrome or Garden. Naturally nowadays a fighter :s out for all the coin he can get. He is going to lean toward the promoter who of fers him the most cash. O Rourke will be in a position to do this. Tex has his Thirty Acres in Jersey City to fall back on. But Tex is not so Keen about tnat sue as ne was when he staged the Jack DempseyGeorges Carpentier fight there. He HARD HITTING AND THAT LIVELY BALL All this heavy hitting and most of the slopping fielding is being blamed on the lively ball. Infielders maintain that they have to stay back on the grass and pitchers claim they take their lives in their hands wnen tney try to Btop a drive off the bat. One of the best pitcners in me r, i i s xut g,aiuv t t - tramA hvn'OVOr IS CIT Hlfi CM) 111 1UU llidl the lively ball is not aitogetner io blame for the terrific hitting of the nresent dav. "Babe Ruth more than anytnmg eioe is responsible for the increase in long distance hitting." Urban Shocker, the great pitcher of the St Louis Browns said. Ruth made every player aspire to be a home run hitter. They come to the plate, take a toe hold on the bat and swing. They connect jusi as manv times as they used to, bu:. their hits are all necessarily longer. Change in the pitching rules has been a factor because" batters have more confidence when they 6tep up to the plate." Shocker is one of the few remaining spitballers and he has made it a most effective weapon. He does nci be lieve, however, that the use of foreign substance on the ball should be necessary to make agreat pitcher. "There always will be a way of putting a hook on the ball without beating the rules," he says. "Look at Joe Bush. He has perfected a fork ball and it has 'made a new pitcher out of him. He lets the ball go out between the index and second finger and it acts just like a spitter. There always will be some similar ways of getting an effective delivery without using resin, emery powder or licorice." Averages Higher Grover Alexander, another of the game's greatest pitchers, is M the opinion that the lively ball is responsible for loose baseball. He has the theory that the pitcher is almost removed from the line of defense and that twenty-five per cent more terri tory is forced upon the shortstop ana the second baseman. Where pitchers used to average five or six assists per game, he maintains that under the present conditions a pitcher seldom eets more tkan one or two. Something, however, has worked wonders in increasing batting. When Casey Stengel jumps from a .284 to a .370 hitter, and when Chick Galloway rises from the .265 to the .330 class, it needs some explanation. There are other notable instances. Fonseca, of the Reds, used to bat .260 and now is hitting .361; Grimes of the Cubs, went from .321 to .363; Barnhart,. of the Pirates, jumped from .258 to .343; Tierney of the Pirates deserted the .298 class and graduated to. .371. Other examples there are, too numerous to mention: Fans Enjoy Slugging With all the abuse that is heaped t-non it. there is much to make the lively ball popular. The fans of course, liKe UlUing as lue mcrease iu aucuuro- shows. Also it is bringing up from lower classes fine fielding players who would never be in fast company if they weren't able to hit for some strange reason or other. g .

made his pile on that bout And he staged the Wilson-Downey fight and Tex wa3 a disappointed man at the outcome He had to dig down in his Jeans to make up the deficit He held up Wilson's share of the purse until the champion consented to fight Harry Greb at the Garden. Wilson, to get his cash for the Downey affairs, signed up for this match, and Tex had visions of making up the loss he suffered because of the Downey fiasco. But Wilson flunked out of' the match after he got his tasa As a result he was barred from the New York ring by the Commission, and his title taken away from him, as far as this state Is concerned, until he agrees to fulfill the contract he flunked out of. Tex also failed to clean up as much money as he expected when he rtaged the Lew Tendler-Benny Leonard fight in Jersey City. He made money, of course, but not the kind of money Tex has been used to pocketing in staging championship affairs. And then Tex took a back seat, at least for a while. He has not been bidding for titular affairs like he did in the old days when he had the field for himself. ' Has Worthy Rival Tex may wake up now.. He will have to retain hi3 laurels as the impresario of the boxing world. But in Tom O'Rourke he will have a worthy rival. Tom knows the game from A to Z. In his younger days, when purses were not so plentiful or as high as these days, Tom has two good "meal tickets" in his stable of fight ers, George Dixon, featherweight champion, and Joe Wolcott, welterweight champion: Needless to say, that Tom and Tex will have a merry war in staeing champion events. Already O'Rourke is after a fight with Johnny Dundee, and John Kilbane, featherweight champion. Tom is going after the champion In their lines. It would not be at all surprising if he staged Harry Wills, the negro heavyweight and Jack Dempsey, in a struggle for the heavyweight championship. It looks as if another promoter's star is in the ascendancy. Tex was a king in his day. He will not give up his laurels without a battle. Hence fight fans will be trotted to a spiritel bidding contest between those two promoters. The war between those two will soon be on. (Copyright l2t By Kin Features Syndicate, lac.)
