Jamestown, this year, is com- bining its finest talent into one rep- resentative club. The captain, is an old major league star. That the Stusman county seat has a real club is indicated by the 5 to 4 victory scored over Happy Felsch’s Plenty- wood, Montana, Pirates last Sunday. No small recommendation!

Rockford Welcomes , Mandell Back Home | —_——————_: Rockford, Ill., May 24.—(?)—This was Sammy Mandell Day in Rock- ford. : The streets were bedecked with flags, the town band was ordered out, speeches were prepared and all the fol de rols that go with home- coming celebrations were ready to welcome the “Rockford sheik” upon his return from New York where he successfully defended his light- weight crown from Jimmy McLar- nin. Heading the reception committee was “Mrs. Sammy” and eight- months-old Richard Sam, who the champion contends was born with his fists c-ubled up.

Fuchs that the former Giant Captain will assume the leadership of the lowly Braves. Can the Rajah inject the necessary fighting spark in the Bean town! lads to carry them out of the major league cellar? Boston fans think he can. In New York they » will probably say the same thing. HORNSBY NOW BRAVE PILOT Jack Slattery Gives Way to| Former Captain of New York Giants Boston, May 24.—(AP)—Rogers Hornsby, traded to Boston Braves in a sensational deal early this |spring, today was the manager of the team by virtue of the resigna- tion of Jack Slattery, who stepped out after little more than a month of road management. President Emil E. Fuchs <vho, in a statement describing the change said: “We shall continue our ef- forts to build a fighting and win- ning team for Boston.” Slattery, who came t- the Braves from Boston college where he was coach after a long career in big league baseball, will continue with the club in another capacity but at the same salary. His contract has a year to run, Baseball writers said that Horns- by needed much versuation to take over the helm and that rumors of “undermining” which had been! current when he was sent here from New York had influenced him to such an extent that he told Presi- dent Fuchs he would rather be traded to some other club than to seem to: have forced Slattery out. Fuchs assured him that the ehange was inevitable. Slattery succeeded Dave Bancroft as manager last November and was instrumental in bringing Horasby to Boston, after a promising exhi- bition season the Braves have made a poor showing. Hornsby however, has been doing good work and is tied for third place in National league batters. His bating average is .368. “ Heeney May Surprise Gene Jim Corbett, former champion, | looks for Tom Heeney to give Gene Tunney a gocd fight when they meet becnuse Tom is 80 aggressive and tough.

The en- counter starts with a double head- er in Shibe Perk. Another double meeting is on the card tomorrow and a single game on Saturday. Connie Mack is lying in wait for the Huggins henchmen with Robert Moses Grove, Rube Walberg and Ossie Orwoll, his southpaw sharp- shooters, as well as the veteran John Pincus Quinn and Eddie Rom- mel, who fire from the right. The Athletics need five straight to take the lead, for all of their grand record of twenty-one victor- ies in their last twenty-five starts. The Yanks have taken twenty-one of their last twenty-four—half a game better than the Athletic record. The Yankees prepared them- selves yesterday for the start of their sterner battle by shading the Red Sox, 2 to 1, to make it three out of four from Bill Carrigan’s bristling warriors. The Yanks made their six hits good for a pair of early runs, and then fended off the Sox, who, made desperate by their failure, plunged recklessly to their doom. Phil Works Slick With none on in the seventh Phil Todt touched Henry Johnson for his third homer of the series and his sixth of the season, up again in the eighth with three on and two out, Philip rolled gently to Johnson. He did this well only after having con- vinced an umpire that he had meant “ball two’? when he said “strike three.” Then in the ninth Tait got his second triple with one out, and the squeeze was on. It worked perfect- ly except that Gerber overlooked the necessity of bunting the ball, and Tait was an easy out. Jack Russell pitched for Boston. The Athletics closed’ their prac- tice session by outpointing the Senators for the fourth successive time. One Wililam Shores held Washington to four hits and won by 4 to 2, permitting more import- ant boxmen to await the Yankees in leisure, Triple Play Features A triple play featured the after- noon in Chicago, as the vanishing Americans of Cleveland fell further from the running. The White Sox won their second straight—4 to 3 in ten innings this time—and would have closed it out in the ninth if Kamm and Schalk had not permit- ted themselves to be tripled trying to advance after Clancy's short fly to Jamieson. The Browns handed the Tigers a rude jolt, 8 to 3, but then the Tig- ers long ago became accustomed to jolts, rude or otherwise. The fighting on the National League front, was marked by Cin- cinnati’s fourth ina oe victory over the not-very-bold Pirates, and the even division of a double-head- er between the Giants and the Rob- ins in Brooklyn, The Reds pulled out by 4 to 3 in the tenth, and remained in the league lead, half a game better off than the previous day, as the sec- ond-place Cubs were idle. The scores in Brooklyn were 4 to 3 for the Robins, Giants. and 4 to 0 for the JUDGED WHERE LAST SEEN How does the umpire judge a ball that is batted, over the fence or into a stand that is the regulation distance for a home ran, 250 feet from the home bese? __ The legality of a home run that is batted over the fence or into a tand that is the reguletion dis- tance from the plate is determined according to where it finally disay- pears from the umpire’s view.

Bushy Graham, by his victory over the Corporal, today is acknowledged as Bantamweight Champion of the world. It is the first time that there has been a real titleholder in this class since Charley (Phil) Rogen- berg forfeited the 118 pound crown more than a year ago. BREWERS AND SAINTS EVEN Milwaukee Drops Third Straight; Blues Nose Out Millers; Race Tightens (Copyright, 1928, NEA Service, Inc.) The battle bf self extermination among the first division clubs in the American Association pennant scramble continues unabated, Milwaukee dropped the third game of its series with St. Paul, 8 to 4,’ yesterday and today the two teams once more were deadlocked at the top. Kansas City also held onto its first division berth by defeating Minneapolis, 4 to 3, in 11 innings, while Toledo and Indianapolis, fifth and sixth place occupants, continued to tighten up the race by winning again. Toledo, taking advantage of every break, downed Louisville, 2 to 1, while the Indians made their hits count to defeat Columbus 9 to 5. (GRAHAM BEATS SCHWARTZ FOR BANTAM TITLE x Courageous Flyweight Champ Is No Match for Heavier Opponent —_—— © New York, May 24.—(?)—Bushy Graham, filaring-haired Phantom from Utica, Y., today perched on the bantamweight throne that had been vacant in this state since Charley (Phil) Rosenberg forfeited the 118 pound championship over a year ago. Although he whipped Corporal Izzy Schwartz, little champion of New York flyweights, in a 15-round match at Ebbets field last night to gain the crown, the honor that came of battling out a victory over a worthy opponent on even terms was not his. Instead a goodly share of the honors went to the spunky little corporal, forced to fight as a fly- weight and outweighed by a margin of 6 1-2 pounds, Throughout the first ten rounds, Schwartz, boxing like a little ma- jor, won three rounds and held his bigger foe even in two others. But as the fight wore on, and Bushy made every use of his weight ad- vantage Izzy tired’ and fell under the grueling pace. Izzy Goes Down In the fourteenth round, Bushy caught the little fellow with a vol- Igy of left and right smashes to the head that dropped Izzy in the clouds of resin dust their flashing feet had stirred. With blood streaming from his nose, his lips smashed and right ear twice the normal size, Schwartz barely managed to reach his feet at the count of nine, Throughout the final session, osly the courageous heart of the fly- weight kept him erect. Bushy caught him time and again with both hands to the head. Izzy's wourtls increased, but he summoned all his caginess and lasted till the final gong, he was a badly battered warrior at the close. In a ten round semifinal, Sammy Baker, Mitchel field soldier, won an unpopular decision over Nick Testo, of Troy, N. Y., and with it the right to fight Joe Dundee for the welter- weight champion, here later in the season. The verdict met with a vol- ley of boos. The 14,000 fans in the park rising to protest with howls that lasted until the main event was welt under way. The Asso- ciated Press score card gave Testo the edge on six rounds, with three for Baker and one even. Testo knocked the soldier down twice in the second round.

Andy Payne, Claremore, Okla., farm boy, who is firmly entrenched in the lead increased his margin over John Salo of Passaic to 17 hours, 28 minutes, 7 seconds in yes- terday’s lap from Liberty, N. Y., to Middletown. Taking it easy and saving himself for the final dash, Eevee jogged into a tie for tenth place, Ed Gardner, Seattle negro who holds eighth place, took the lead yesterday, finishing in 6:02:59, and gaining a firmer hold on his posi- tion.
