Of | leads in homers with 12; Cuccinello has made more hits, 77, Emmer has made most bases with his hits, con- verting 74 blows to 133 bases, The battle for pitching honors is warmer ever. Latest averages show that “Slim Harris of St. Paul has bounded back into the lead with seven victories and one defeat. Mid- dleton of Minneapolis is next with six wins and one loss while Polli of St. Paul has won 10 and lost two. Brill- heart of Minneapolis, who lost two week to fall from the lead, still tops Minneapolis dropped five points in team batting during the week, but still leads the field with a .310 mark for first place with Kansas City, the Blues dropping three points during the last week and the Senators gain- ing one for a .970 mark.

Hunter and Tilden Might Not Compete George Lott, Chicago, Makes This Prediction as He Sails for Europe New York, June 15.—(4)—Sailing today for Europe, George Lott, third States, delivered himself of the opin- jon that neither Big Bill Tilden nor Frank Hunter will be called upon to help the American Davis cup team in the same city. Lott said he did not believe Hunter would figure in Amer- ican Davis cup plans at all and Tilden only if he won the British champion- ship at Wimbledon or “does something else sensational.” New England Is | Building Courts Tennis Will Have Full Sway This Summer, According to Dr. N.

Hl A heavy right to the stomach, a left | to the jaw, and a right to the same vulnerable spot in trip-hammer rapid- | ity transported John J. Richter, Wishek lightheavyweight, to the Land O’ Nod, and the sleek Bismarck heavyweight put on his bathrobe and alked to the dressing room. Richter, a boyhood enemy of | Brown's when both lived in the same | community, used 45 minutes in which to recover after landing in the laps of ringside spectators when the cap- | ital city clouter decided to test the! potency of his dynamite. The fight, however, healed the breach in friend- ship between the two. After the show the two sought each other's company and reminisced. Billy Meek, Isham “Tex” Hall's new 110-pound importation, was credited with a technical knockout over Joe Holzer, 135 pounds, when the Ashley boy refused to continue after being outed out of the ring in the first canto. As a result, a large crowd of fans saw only 10 rounds on a card which was scheduled to include 25 rounds. The heavyweight headliner was to go | 10 rounds and the Meek-Holzer en- counter six rounds. Holzer substi- tuted for Johnny Schmalz, Strasburg. Pete and <cr Aller, both of Bi marck, fought four :ounds to a draw jin the curt-n-raiser and Jackie | Smith, Wishek, and Harry Holzer, | Ashley, fought to a draw in another | four-rounder. Brown will rest - his fight Tues- day night with Fritz Kowalski, Fargo eteran, in a s:x-rcund bout on the firemen’s convention card at the Bis- marck auditorium. | THE RULE Is! | By GEORGE SARGENT Golf Professional | | | The’ Situation: What rule applies where one ball has moved accidentally by op- Pponent’s ball through the green or Mackmen Control ‘Loop Departments Jimmy Foxx Retains ing Lead While Team Assumes Fielding Honors Chicago, June 15.—(4)—Connie)| Mack's years of planning and schem- | ing toward another American league | championship for Philadelphia are| producing a bumper crop of results, unofficial figures at the end of the eighth week of the campaign reveal.

Seventy-five thousand lovers of the sport were expected to witness the struggle. The stake, once the outstanding race event of the country, lacked only Blue Larkspur, Edward R. Bradley's winner of the Belmont stakes, of the outstanding three-year-olds of the season. Clyde Van Dusen, sturdy little son of Man o’ War, winner of the Ken- tucky derby, was favored to take the Chicago classic, largely because of a heavy track, similar in condition to the one on which he emerged victor in the Blue Grass feature a month ago. However, Naishapur, which fin- ished second to Clyde Van Dusen in |the Kentucky derby and won the going; Windy City and Dr. Freeland, winner of the Preakness, were highly favored. R. T. Wilson's African, Dr. Free- land, and Edward B. McLean's Silver- dale were to carry the hope of the east against the west’s best. Dr. Freeland won a good reputation as a mud runner when a two-year-old. In the saddle in which L. McAtee brought Clyde Van Dusen home vic- tor at Churchill Downs, Willie Garner was to ride, with L. Shaefer riding Dr. Freeland, C. E. Allen on Naisha- pur, R. Leonard on African, and L. McDermott on Windy City.
