To-night's Game
Myles C. Eveler lives-at 121 Bartine
street. He is a good citizen, pays his
taxes, stands well in the brother
hood, laughs at his neighbor's jokes
and works hard for Mr. Hines, our
director of railroads. He is well
built, substantial, has no enemies and
votes straight at the polls. Further-
more, he is one of the twirlers for the
Engineers and Firemen baseball
team. Aside from all these things
C he is the champion hard luck pitcher
of the West End League. It seems
that in spite of all his well meaning
labor at the Seneca street ball park
he cannot bring victory to his team.
Some one said last night that if his
rivals had but one run in the fifth
1 inning and the Engineers and Fire
men collected 20 in the sixth a rain
storm would come along and force
the score back to the fifth. It just
would be "Moe" Eveler's luck.
With Eveler in the box last even
t ing the Commonwealth Travelers de
feated his team by the score of 8 to
1. In that inning the Commonwealth
added 6 to the 2 previously acquired,
clinching their victory. The runs
were scored after chances had been
* allowed to slip to retire the Com
monwealth players, who took ad
vantage of every break. Up to the
fifth inning the Commonwealth hadn't
scored. The Engineers had a lead
of one run. Both pitchers. Eveler and
Washinger, a tall youth from Le
moyne, were going good.
Rote Starts Scoring
In the first session Rote scored for
the Engineers. He smote one of
Washinger's shoots for a single, got
second on a bad throw of Hinkle's
and scampered home when Madden
_ hit the ball safely out of the ,dia
" fnond. But that was the end of the
run getting for the Engineer. Wash
w inger tightened and held his rivals
scoreless throughout the remainder
of the period. Furthermore, he col
lected three hits on his own account,
fanned four of the Engineers, made
a run and assisted in retiring an En
gineer at first.
On the other hand Eveler was hit
for 10 bingles. including three two
baggers, that assisted very materi
ally toward the downfall of the En
gineers. While his team is credited
9 with but two errors, they occurred
v after two men were out and when
opportunity offered to retire the side
and win the game.
Big Crowd Present
The game was well attended as are
most of the exhibitions at the West
End Park. Burroughs' adding ma
chine men who sat near Powder
Smith and Tucker Brown, reckoned
there were 2,000 people on hand.
Both bleachers were full and the
crowd-spilt over into the field on all
sides. There were women, too, fine

THURSDAY EVENING,
test writ on their faces. And they
applauded the good plays of both
teams. Likewise, they condoled with
"Moe" Eveler, who should have had
better treatment at the hands of his
teammates. With the crafty Mr. At
tlcks behind the bat the Engineers
and Firemen should have won, but
they didn't, and that's all there is
to it.
Mclnerney, formerly a New York
State League umpire, called balls and
strikes in the absence of the capa
ble Mr. Cook, who was taking an
evening off. Mclnerney sised up to
his Job all right. There were, of
course, the usual Jibes from the
bleachers, but they affected Mr. Mc
lnerney not a bit. The story of the
fatal sixth inning is told thus:
Lightner knocked a fly to Behm
who dropped the ball. Klugh singled
to left and Wagner left the ball get
away from him, scoring Lightner and
placing the batter on second. W.
Smith went out, second to first. Kil
linger walked and stole second and
Bell, the next man up. hit a grounder
to Madden, who made a nice stop.
Waltz failed to cover first for Msd
den and Bell was safe with the
bases filled. Washinger then drove
the ball to center for two bases,
scoring Klugh and Killinger. A base
on balls was issued to Gcrdes. On
a single by Hinkle, Bell and Wash
inger crossed the plate for two mere
runs. On the throw-in Hinkle went
to second. J. Smith then hit a
I grounder to Rote who threw him
out at first, but on this play Gerdes
crossed home plate with the final
run of the game. Lightner ended the
inning by grounding out, second to
first.

The photos were made at the t
The snapshot of Dempsey was tak
out, as is evident by Jatk's touseled
Toledo, July 3. Jess Willard. 1
the Kansas giant, will defend his
title of world's heavyweight tistic j
champion against the challenger,'
Jack Dempsey, of Utah, here to
morrow afternoon. Both Willard
and Dempsey have been earnestly
training in this vicinity for several;
weeks past. Neither one has left -
anything untried or undone in or
der to get himself into the bets pos
sible condition for the encounter,
the outcome of which will mean so
much for the victor. By winning
from Jack Johnson at Havana,
Cuba, four years ago, Willard was j
placed in a position to begin build- i
ing up an immense fortune and
should Dempsey capture the title
there is no telling how much wealth '
he may accumulate in these days of i
high finance, when sport promoters
talk of the "sky" as the limit for
big events.
Aside from the actual purse;
money of $127,500 signed fop hy the:
two pugilists, SIOO,OOO of which is'
guaranteed to Willard, win, lose or j
draw, the enormous amount of cash \
which will be handled in connection j
with the coming bout, dwarfs all 1
previous ring contests into financial J
oblivion. The "gate," from the sale ,
of tickets and concessions is ex- j
pected to pass the one million dol
lar mark, which would make the re-.
ceipts of previous fistic carnivals:
look very small in comparison.
Rickard Big Factor
Tex Rickard, the daring promoter;
who is bringing the two big men to- j
gether in this bout, generaly does!
things on a large scale. He secured j
the Johnson-Jeffries fight for a;
guarantee of SIOO,OOO and at Reno,
his recetnte amount to $270,000. Of
course tIK promoter was at an
enormous outlay in bringing that
contest to an issue, having been
forced almost at a moment's notice
to move from California to another
state in order to secure a battle
ground. Rickard's outlay for the
coming battle, including guaranteed
purse, cost of arena construction, ad
vertising and other expenses will
amount to a vast sum. The United
States government well have a big
claim for income tax so that when
everything is deducted from the
"gate," Rickard's margin of profit
probably w-ill fall far short of the
results he attained in some of his
previous ventures.
Some changes have been made in
the conditions governing the bout
since the original articles were
signed, the most important being the
limiting of the contest to twelve
rounds and the reduction of the size
of the ring to twenty feet square.
Originally the men were to have
gone twenty or more rounds and the
intention was to have a regulation
24-foot ring. Otherwise the agree-]
ment stands as signed by Rickard,
Willard and Dempsey, each being
entitled to a third of the moving
picture privileges. Willard Is guar
anteed SIOO,OOO and Dempsey $27,-
500.
Both Are Big Favorites
When the men step into the ring
each will have a big following of
partisans. Those who rely on Wil
lard's retaining his title, insist that
he is invulnerable to punishment
and that Dempsey will fail to reach
his burly opponent with an effec
tive blow. Many of them also claim
that Willard has never hit a human
being with the full force of which
his huge frame is capable. It is
said that once during his prepara
tion for a previous contest Willard
lost his temper on being stung by
the blow of a sparring partner. Then
the big fellow landed a vicious swing
which swept his opponent and one
of the ring posts to a spot several
yards away from the ringside and
that the "partner" needed medical
attention for many days afterward.
Dempsey's friends, and they are
legion, confidently state that no
man, however big or strong, can
withstand the impact of a full-weight
hook or swing from either of Jack's
fists. They look for a quick ending
to the contest with Dempsey a win
ner. They eey that Jack can land

[as he did on Fred Fulton's last year.
: They rely on Jack's fearlessness as
| a big asset in conjunction with his
| heavy hitting power. Dempsey's
! youth also is one of the arguments
j his adherents advance as being a
I decided factor in his favor as Demp
jsey is 24 years old. There are con
j dieting statements as to Willard's
age, but it is the geneial belief that
the Kansan has passed the 40-mark.
Dcmpsey Has Record
Dempsey has taken part in many
ring contests during the last four
years while Willard has fought cnly
twice within that period. Jess won
ithe championship from Johnson at
'Havana, Cuba, in April, 11S15. That
; battle lasted 26 rounds. Just eleven
months later TVillard met Frank
; Moran for ten rounds at the Madi
-1 son Square Garden. New York. This
was a no-decision contest. but
Moran was so far outclassed on that
| occasion that there was no question
:vs to Willard's having won decisive
ly. Since that time, March 25, 1916,
Willard has not defended his title.
Thousands of fistic patrons Believe
that this portracted absence from
fighting has had a deteriorating ef
fect on the big champion's, abilities,
i while Dempsey, having been in ring
| action almost constantly will be in
i much better condition,
i Dempsey fought sixteen ring bat
; ties last year and scored thirteen
knockouts. One of these, with Ar
thur Pelky at Denver, went 15
rounds; two of them ended in the
sixth, Carl Morris and Bill Brennan
being the victims, but eight of them
'were abruptly finished in the open
ing round. In addition to the three
i mentioned pugilists, Dempsey scored
| knockouts on Fred Fulton, Jim
| Flynn, Porky Flynn, Terry Kellar,
Battling Lavinsky and Gunboat
! Smith.

last night until Galahad took its
cue from Mac Duff and cried. "Hold,
enough." It wa sthe first extra in
ning of the season. When the regu
lation seven innings had ended the
score was tied at half a dozen runs
apiece. Reading won, score 7 to
6.
"Mose" Swartz, the juvenile won
der boy of the city, pitched his
first game for the big leaguers and
held the Galahads to eight hits.
Galahad fans claim the game would
have, been won but for a motor
cyclist who drove down Seventeenth
street in the seventh inning and
"fussed" Tom Reilly just as he was
set for the final out. The hit went 1
| for a three-bagger.
' "Neps" Bowers and "Bill" Press
ler, just returned from the Argonne,
claim a hotter battle never was
waged. Reading scored in the third,
fifth, seventh and ninth innings,
after two runners were retired in
each case. It was timely hitting on
the part of the lead-off man that
won the game for Reading.

"Mose" Swartz was also there with
a circus stunt, standing on his right

George Swartz did all he could to
uphold the family name by driv

Shay pitched splendidly, but in at
tempting to field a ball hit at him,
injured his right side. The accident
