DODGERS AND GIANTS CRAWL UP
! CW REDLEGS, WHILE THE LEADERS
1 Tftf ZM F OFF FROM THE DIAMOND
TtTrniLH the Cincinnati Itcds were not looking ycatcr
V Jay, both Brooklyn nml New York put over some
funny work nnd now the Nntionnl League pennant chnse
la close enough to be covered under a single blanket. Tho
Giants took ndvnntagc of Jtostoa twice in the same place
and the Dodgers made the l'hils do a Mlskc mi the home
lot.
Therefore, the men of McCSraw now arc but two
tames away from lirst place and the Brooklyn bunch Is
one-half game behind the UeiK From now on anything
is likely to happen, but the advantage is with the two
eastern clubs because they will play In their own back
V' yard the greater part of this month.
. "We will win the pennant," admitted Uncle Wllbirt
Robinson last night. Similar statements can be obtained
irom Pat Mornn nnd John McGraw, now that John has
quit the Lambs Club.
In the American League, Cleveland and the Yanks
were idle, so far as regular games are concerned. The
Yanks beat Pittsburgh, but it didn't mean anything.
Neither did the home run made by Babo Ruth. This
wallop was superfluous.
The White Sox trimmed St. Lool and moved a couple
ef whispers closer to the Yanks. The three leaders in
this circuit can wear the same cap and are all set for the
finale.' The Sox and Tndlnns nro playing nt home nnd
. therefore have the edge. The Yanks urc traveling this
month.
Today will start what is commonly known an n
crucial series In Cleveland, when the Yanks visit that
metropolis. There Is likely to be some trouble nnd,
fearing this, Carl Mays was left at home. Although the
bean ball pitcher has been cleared In New York, the fans
In other cities cannot forget Chapman's death and the
pitcher will not be allowed to forget It, either.
But while these close races are being staged, our
Phils gained one-half a game on the Braves in the battle
for eighth place. The Boston gang lost two games and the
Phils one. Perhaps that wbb because only one game was
played. If the Braves continue to play double-headers
and the Phils only one game per day, wa are likely to
climb out of the cellar.
7EBTBRDAT the "Dodgers ruined Lee Meadows
and copped the final contest of the set, 7-.
Belts finished and did very tcell. Today Pittsburgh
Kill be here, if that means anything.
Maybe Gamblers Crossed 'Em
JUST because our Phils trimmed the Chicago Cubs in u
ball game one day last week, there was so much sur
prise in fhe Windy City that an investigation has been
ordered and the grnnd jury Is on the Job. It is claimed
that some hocus pocus stuff was put over and some of the
boys might linvc been ehummlng with the gamblers.
There was n great hullabaloo in the Chicago news
papers, but after reading nil of the accounts carefully,
rre can't understand why the story was published in the
first place. Xobodv has been accused, n lot of telegrams
given wide publicity, but in every case the telegrams were
nlgned by some fake name. Not one has been traced yet,
much trouble has been caused and the situation is the same
now as before it started.
Everybody knows that the gamblers are close followers
of baseball. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are wagered
By IlOItERT W. MAXWELL
fljMirt I illlor turning I'uMIc l.tilcfr
throughout the country every day atid it can t be stopped.
If n mnn wants to gamble he will do so. Therefore, the
betting on that particular game was nothing out pf the
ordinary. The straugc part of it was that the l'hils were
picked to win.
Perhaps nnd this Is just a guess the smort gamblers
put something over In that game. Tliev knew It was Lee
Mcadows's turn, to pitch and Lee has been going good.
They figured Lcc had a good chnncc to win, nnd perhaps
Hendryx would make trouble. If they could work a
pitcher out of turn, like Alexnndcr, who, by the way, has
not been effective ngnlnst the Phils, the sure thing gents
would feel better. They got nwny with it, the Phils won.
BOXING BOUTS ON
AT LEG10NSM0KER
5 TILL, this Investigation will he a good thing for
baseball. The players trill realize more Keenly
that they arc being eatchednot that they need to bo
matched or anything like that and if there is any so
inclined, they will think ttcice before attempting to
pull a Lee Magcc or Hal Chatc in a game. A little
scandal helps the sport and keeps it clean.
Leonard Taking a Chance
OUT In Benton Harbor the fight fans still nre talking
about the White-Benny Leonard battle which was
staged in Fitzslmmons's arena on July C. This Is not
strange or unusual, becnuse boxing shows are very rare
out there nnd tho natives have excellent memories.
Before tho Dcmpsey-Miske affair was staged, the
folks had a lot to say about the lightweight fuss. Leonard,
according to eyewitnesses, hnd the narrowest escape In his
career nnd really was fighting a losing battle when he put
over tho knockout wnllop which ended the fracas in the
ninth round.
"Leonard got more than he was looking for," orated
one self-confessed critic. "White tore after him and had
him backing up and hanging on. In the fifth, he scored a
clean knockdown, although it is claimed thnt Benny
slipped, ne slipped after getting that wnllop on the head
and had it been n couple of Inches lower, the championship
would have changed hands.
"White, however, made a big mistake In not having
n smart second In his corner. Ho was handling his own
affair and messed things up. Hnd 1 e been In the hands
of a capable adviser he would have scored a great
victory."
Perhaps the reason for Leonard's poor showing was
the long layoff. Benny had been idle for almost a year
nnd this was his first battle. However, the folk out West
believe he can be beaten nnd are very much interested in
the bout tomorrow night with K. O. Loughlin nt Camden.
Loughlin is n very tough bird, can hit a terrible slam and
Leonard will not have a set up.
In a way, Benny is taking a chance in stepping out of
ills class to meet Loughlin. He will be forced to extend
himself to the limit nnd must watch himself at nil times.
Twelve rounds is n lengthy period to linger with a two
fisted bone-crushing knockout nrtist and the battle should
be well worth seeing.
THE other bouts also look good. Joe Benjamin,
Joe Rurman and Tommy Toughey arc pretty fair
battlers to have in the prelims, Herman Taylor de
serves credit.

pOXING In Philadelphia today Is
- sort of woozy, staggering nnd on
the ropes with the slambanglng It Is
getting from those who were there nt
the Ice Palace last night. The fans nre
all hct np and directing verbal knock
outs nt Sam McVey, who has been box
ing for seventeen years, nnd Harry
Wills. These negro heavyweights were
supposed to have put on au eight
round bout at tho reopening of the
Philadelphia Auditorium, and, while
the club was reopened, there was no
bout between the negt)es.
Frank Floyd, the referee, was the
winner of the contest, if n decision
must be given. He proved himself
a game guy by ordering the stalling
heavyweights to their respective cor
ners nnd leTt the ring In the sixth
round. For five full rounds Floyd put
on u terrible tongue tilt with tho alleged
boxers. He threatened to stop the bout
if they continued to hold, pull and nig,
und tho referee proved he wasn't kid
ding when he made his promise good
shortly after the start of the sixth ses
sion. Money Held Up
While the fans are peeved, sore and
antagonistic toward' the negro boxers,
they may have some consolntion in the
fact that neither hns been paid for the
work he was supposed to have done.
"It's all up to Councils ami Mr. Cor
telyou," said President George Pawling
today. "I'm not going to pny ms
nor McVey one cent until I get a deci
sion from the director. If It is decided
not to play them then I will turn over
their purses to charity."
It was a terrible affair, and the Judg
ment of Referee Floyd was approved
by the poor unsuspecting public. It did
lonk ns if Wills was trying und that
McVey was the chief offender in mak
ing the contest unuearauic ; sun wc
alleged contender for nek Dompsey's
crown failed to do anything that resem
bled boxing. While McVey held on nnd
refused to box, Wills also did some
hugging, tugging, pulling nnd jerking
around.
In attempting to release himself from
tho clutched of McVey in the second
round Wills pioved how strong ho was
when be lifted Sum bodily over the sec
ond rope on to the prcss table. McVey
nnnnrentlv was wllllnir to be shoved out
of the ring, for lie kept on rolling and

aiders nnd tl.eu to the floor. But the
fiasco didn't end there.
McVey limned back into the ring.
Referee Floyd asked, "Do you want to
quitV" and eerjone was hoping that
the California negro would, but ho put
up his hands and continued to miss step
In his act with Wlhs. It was a bum
number. 1 loyd s impatience was ex
ceeded and made the only hit of the
night by calling ff all betfl. just when
it seemed ns If tho fans were on the
brink of riot.
The htalcs proved thnt both men were
big enough to fight. Wills weighed in
ut 205 pounds, whilo McVey was bIx
pounds heavier.
Jimuij Murphy started his 1020-21
drlvo with an eight-round victory over
Jack Palmer. Eacli weighed 142 pounds.

was not perfect, he showed sufficient

Tho Hat-dent Shot
HERE'S another argument vis.,
what is the hardest shot in golf to
play? By thnt we mean the one shot
thnt more good plavers miss under the
stress nnd strain of competition.
Bill Fowncs, tho Pittsburgh veteran,
who is one of the closest students of
the game in this or any other country,
snys it Is the half iron shot or the short
pitch over n trap from sixty to ninety
yards nwoy, where one's control nnd
timing must be perfect.
Several others cast their vote in favor
of the long approach putt the putt
that ranges from forty to sixty feet In
length, where only a few aro able to get
consistently dend to the cup or withiu
a putting range of three feet.
These two types nre unquestionably
the hardest in the game the two most
often missed by first-class players. For
they arc the two shots that require the
greatest amountor nerve control and
the keenest timing. Tho golfer who enn
