REIGN OF NEGRO KING GUT SHORT BY BOXING SKILL OF NEWCOMER New Champion Is Given Credit! for Eight Rounds and Cali- fornian Five TOMMY FLOORED IN SECOND Thompson Says He Thinks De- cision Was Fair and Hopes for Another Chance Cleveland, Sept. 6.—(#)—They're hailing Tommy Freeman, the Arkan- sas buzzsaw, as welterweight cham- pion of the world today. After nine long, tough years of fighting. Freeman won the title iast night when he defeated young Jack Thompson, Oakland, Calif., in a 15- round battle fought in League Park. Patsy Haley, New York, referee of the bout, unhesitatingly raised Freeman's hand in victory. Haley figured Free- man won eight of the 15 rounds with five going to the dethroned titlehold- er and two being even. Freeman Down For Six Freeman; knocked down for a count of six in the second round ana with his knees buckling from a right that} rattled off his chin in the tenth came back to defeat the negro titleholder in his first defense of the title since he won it from Jackie Fields in De- troit just four months ago. A crowd of 15,000 agreed with Ref- ere Haley's decision. The spectators, first stunned at the change in the championship, suddenly cut loose with a deafening roar in approval of the verdict. Thompson was the most surprised man in the ball park He thought he had won, or at least had deserved a draw, but he made no protest. “I think the decision was fair,” he said after he got over the shock of losing. “It’s all in the breaks of the game. I hope Freeman will give me another chance and that he will be a creditable champion.” Champ Was Outboxed Freeman won the title because of his ability to outbox the champion, who missed more punches last night than he ever missed in his life. ‘Thompson complained as early as the tenth round that his hands were sore, but he did not offer this as an alibi. Freeman boxed and jabbed as he never boxed and jabbed before and he caused the champion by skillful feinting to miss repeatedy. Only the second, fifth, eighth and tenth rounds were Thompson's by a clear margin. After the eleventh, he appeared to tire and fade rapidly. From the twelfth round on Thompson staked his all on a right hand punch that never did reach its mark.

The Athletics have eliminated all but too rivals from even a mathe- matical chance of taking the Amer- ican League flag. Washington and New York are left with only hapes, of overtaking the world’s champions. The Senators remain six and one-half games behind the Athletics. The Yankees are 15 games away from first place. Cleveland fell by the wafside yes- terday although winning its. seventh game in succession, defeating the Chicago White Sox, 6 to 1. Phila- delphia also won'a game and the In-' dians were left 18 games behind and with only 17 to play for each team. Jablonowski held the Sox to four hits. The. Boston Red Sox. were only one run behind up to the eighth inning when the A’s scored three ‘runs, two on Al Simmons’ 34th homer. ‘fashington gained nothing by slamming the Yankees around for 15 hits to defeat them for the 17th time in 21 games this season by a 14 to 5 count.
