TRIS SPEAKER BY BILLY EVANS, When Babe Ruth made his 29 home runs in 1919 he broke a major league record that had stood for more than a score of years. Then, just to show that this per- formance was no fluke, Ruth came back with 54 circuit swats in 1920 and set his high mark with 59 in 1921, It looks as if the 59 homers in one season will stand for a long time despite the lively bal] and short fence Tris Speaker, manager of the Cleveland Indians, now threatens an- other swat record that has stood for years. Speaker's goal is directed at the two-base record rather than the home-run mark, Back in 1889, Ed Delehanty made 56 two-base hits in the Nationa: League. That mark set by Delehanty 25 years ago has stood up against the swatting of the game's greatest sluggers, Only once has the record made by Delehanty been seriously threatened, and strangely enough Tris. Speaker was the player to tur tue trick. In 1912, as a member of the Bos- ton Red Sox, Speaker Made 53 two- base hits, falling just three doubles shy of the Delehanty mark. This year it looks very.much as if Speaker would break the mark set by the famous slugger of other days. Having already passed the 40 mark and with about 50 games still to go it seems Speaker is certain to turn the trick unless he experiences a terrific slump, Speaker’s batting this year has been phenomenal when it is consid- ered that he got away to a very bad start, for weeks being under the .300 mark. In addition, he”has the woes of manager to divert his attention, Johnny Dundee, Chesty Over Recent Win, Ready to Try for Ligtwheight Title .... By NEA Service New York, Aug. 16.—Johnny Dun- dee’s great chance is here, The lightweight championship’ is dangling temptingly before his eyes. And the veteran Johnny, cheeks flushed with recent victory, is reach- ing out for it. His victory over Eugene Criqui, world featherweight champion, after a dozen years of ups and downs, has goaded him on into new fields. Meets Leonard Sept. 5 Now he's ready to Leonard, recognized lightweight division. They'll step into the ring at Yan- kee Stadium here Bent 5 Johnny's friends fare _ skeptical. Some fear he will meet the same fate Johnny Kilbane, fallen feather- | weight idol, did at Leonard’s hands. | Others believe he has an excellent chance to dethrone Leonard, Back in 1917, Kilbane having no rivals for his crown, elected to mix things with the lightweight cha pion, Johnny was knocked out in three rounds, the first time in his career, Kilbane had previously met Leon- ard before he had acquired the light- weight title and had no trouble out- boxing him. The featherweight champ felt that a go with Leonard would be sdft money—a mere waltz. meet Benny ruler of the Far From Strangers The Leonard-Dundee bout is noth- ing new in the fistic world. ‘The two champs are far from strangers. On no less.than eight occasions have they met in no-decision affairs. But the most strenuous thing they did was count the receipts, The ninth clash between the two may be for blood. Now that Dundee is a champ he will seek, no doubt, to live up to the title. Johnny has always believed that he could beat Leonard. \The coming mecting will be to a decision. It will be the big opportunity for Dundee. Should Dundee get the decision it would make him the lightweight as well as the featherweight champion and incidentally the greatest draw- ing card in the fight game. Dundee is certain to be well under the light- weight limit. Leonard’s Title in Danger To get the decision or win by a knockout adds nothing to Leonard’s fight record, since he will scale well over the feather limit. The bout will be one in which Leonard can lose a title but win nothing other than filthy lucre, There are some experts who do not look on the bout with much favor, since the pair have met so often, They don't believe the public will fall for it very strong. In the previous mectings, Dundee was simply a featherweight going out of his claga, Dundee is now a champion. - Bouts between cham- |pions always carry a certain appeal to the public. Incidentally, Dundee always gives the public a run for its money. Dundee Has Real Chance While Leonard: shdwed fine. form in his bout with Tendler, he: seemed to lack a finishing punch. Dundee does not appear to be courting any freat danger in that respect, On the other hand, Dundee, as he gets older, appears to have more back of his punches. Possibly it is due to the fact that Johnny has cut out some of his jumping jack tactics and is setting himself before de- livering his. blows, ‘ There is color to the bott because it is between two champions. The fact that Leonard,in the eight meet- ings, despite a big advantage ‘in weight, has always had his® hands full, makes many of the experts be- lieve that Dundee has a chance to annex the lightweight title in addi- tion to his featherweight crown, juicy appetizer for the main event. je two are enemics of long stand. ing and started out to end matters as soon as possible. Both men hit low in the first round and Referce Safro warned them against fouling in the rest between rounds. ‘There was considerable infighting in the first round with advantage to neither an. The second and third rounds were Much -the same as the first with both m@fi fouling. Krause floored Knauf in the fourth with a seemingly low punch and Safro asked Knayf if he hurt and on receiving a negative reply ordered the. fight to Proceed. With, the round not quite half over Safro awarded the fight id man, * son, left today for St. Paul, Minn- esota.
