Nine Runs When Two
Men Were Out at
Jazz Carlisle Game
The maddest battle ever seen
about Carlisle was the strange one
yesterday when the team which rep
resents the city carried on with the
Rutherford Y. M. C. A., finishing up,
15-5. The fourth inning was real
baseball history. With two men out,
Catcher Dill threw to first, having
an easy putout for the last runner,
but his peg was wild and the runner
was safe. This so rattled Pitcher
Jacoby that in all he passed nine
men and nine runs scored. The
game took place on Biddle Field,
Carlsile. Score:

Jack Dempsey believes that when he gets a crack ait Jess Willard's
title on July Fourth he should be in the best of condition. He is working
on that principle. His sparring partners will vouch for that. Dempsey is
seen here boxing at Toledo with Jamaica Kid. He had just finished three
fast rounds with another man. Our s porting editor remarked that you can
see Denjpsey's ribs, which means to him that the contender for the heavy
weight title already is in pretty goodshape.
Toledo, June 17.—Jess Willard and
Jack Dempsey will have a voice in
selecting a referee to ••judge their
heavyweight championship contest
here July 4, in spite of the ruling im
pression that the third man in the
ring will be chosen by the Army,
Navy and Civilian Board of Boxing
control.
This developed to-day when the
board, in accepting Promoter Rick
ard's invitation to pick the officials
for the contest, advisbd that both
boxers be consulted before a definite
selection is made..
Willard said to-day he did not ap
prove the suggestion to have two
judges outside the ring in addition to
the referee to decide the contest. The
champion said he would prefer to ac
cept the decision of a referee, because
the judges, viewing the contest from
outside the ring, probably would not
be of the same opinion as the referee
and their stand might prove embar
rassing. }
| Willard changed' his tactics in his
work yesterday, and promises to re
peat the performance to-day, much to
the discomfort of his sparring part
ners. Instead of handling his spar
| ring mates gently, as he did last week
| the champion worked more like
| Dempsey yesterday than he had ever
I done before, and showed himself a
punishing, hard hitting fighter.
Jack Heinen, the Chicago heavy,
was practically knocked out twice
yesterday in the first round of the
workout. He was upset with a right
' hander to the chin and after getting
' a minute's rest, went to the canvas
again when Willard landed another
! stinging right to the jaw.
! After the work with the gloves,
I Willard shadow boxed at top speed,
I wrestled and allowed his partners to
I stand across the ring and throw the
j heavy medicine ball at his mid-sec
| tton.
Dempsey did not work with the
gloves yesterday, but tugged at the

In a pitchers' battle last evening in

linger and "Bud" Witmer were the
opposing twirlers. It was a battle
royal and a duplicate of the opening
contest of the season when Reading
won by the identical tally.
It was the first contest in the
league for Witmer, the Lemoyne
youngster, who won his own game
in the second inning by driving out a
two-bagger to center field with
"Snaps" Emanuel on third. Emanuel
had also made a two-sacker, and
reached third on a flelde's choice.
Witmer also made a great start in
the first inning when he struck out
the first three batters to face him.
Mellinger was also pitching win
ning ball for Reading. He shows as
much speed as any twirler in the
league, and also has a long string of
strike-c>uts to his credit.
"Tally" Davies and "Wild Bill"
Hoerner. the opposing right fielders,
were chasing each other hard for the

LOCAL WRESTLERS
BATTLING HERE
Husky Harrisburg Lads Grap
ple Every Night at Show
For West End Title
i
A wrestling' tournament in the 1
form of an elimination contest has
been started among local boys on
the mat at the Hunter Shows at
Third and Harris streets. This
tournament is to decide the city
champion wrestler between 130 and
165 pounds. Bouts are staged each
evening in conjunction with the reg
ular matches between the two
wrestlers representing the show,
Henry Bruce and Bod Diry, who
take on all comers at any weight .
Bast night was the first of the
contests between local boys. M. B.
Gardner, an employe of the Harris
burg Bight and Power Company,
challenged M. E. Kasick, an Allison
Hill plumber, to a finish match,
Gardner winning with a full Nelson
in twenty-three minutes of as pretty
a wrestling contest as has been held
at the showgrounds. Both boys are
experts at the game and showed
many fine points. Gardner weighed
in at about 150 and l-'asick at about
110. Bruce retereed liie match.
At tne conclusion ut tue match,
three other local boys challenged
Gardner to a finish match this even
ing. George Spotts, an uptown boy,
was the popular choice of the
crowd to take on Gardner. Spotts
weighs around 146. This match is
sure to be a fast one, for Spotts
is a mighty fast boy. In an exhibi
tion match last evening he lost a
fall to another local 'boy by the
name of Flickener after wrestling
for twenty-five minutes. Spotts had
all the best of the bout up until
Flickener got a severe toe hold on
him and Spotts gave up rather than
hurt himself, so as to be in condi
tion for his bout this evening. The
matches start at 8.30.

when First Baseman Black and
