Rogers Hornsby, sturdy manager of the Chicago Cubs, alone exploded the yarn that the thicker cover and raised seams of the pellet used in the Nat- ional league could offset the power gained through the consumption of “them steaks.” The Rajah, never much of a distance hitter a few years ago until he began adding beef to his frame, clouted three home ruts in Succession to play the leading role in his team’s 10-6 victory. over the Pitts- burgh Pirates. With one single to boot, these three homers accounted for eight runs and tied the modern major league record } for homers in one game. The all- time mark is four, made by Bob Lowe and Ed Delehanty back in the 90's. The home run hitting was distrib- uted among seven clubs, the three by Hornsby and two by Glenn Wright of Brooklyn gave the National league, with the supposedly deader ball, a 9-6 Siargin = im the . number hit. Wright's swats, one homer by. Del Bissonette and some fine pitching by Watson Clark, enabled the Robins to | win their second game of the season, | defeating the Boston Braves, 6-1 The .; | Phillies and New York Giants put the | first tie game of the season on record as darkness halted their.clash after 12 inings with the score 7 to 7.

While this goes on, the weight grad- ually is shifted from the left to the right foot without swaying and with- out turning the head. The natural result of this is a slight bend in the left knee and the raising of the left heel. The goifer may ask how to keep ifrom swaying. My answer to this is to put the weight against a firm right leg and concentrate on keeping the head still. As the club comes down in the downswing; the opposite action takes place—the body turns to the left, the weight is shifted to the left foot and the ball is hit.

The captain of the University of Pennsylvania track and field team shattered his own record for the sec- ond straight year in the Penn relay carnival Friday. His tutor, Lawson Robertson, who will be head coach of the next American Olympic team, thinks Barney will achieve his twin- goal. “Berlinger’s steady improvement in the past two or three years indicates he has not yet reached his peak as an all-around performer,” said Ro- bertson Saturday. This one-man track team had the American decathlon record in his grasp and the world’s record in sight when he slumped toward the finish of Friday's 10-event grind. A series of minor bad breaks was climaxed by poor take-offs that prevented him from clearing more than 12 feet in the pole vault, an event in which he never has failed to do 12 feet, 6 inches, and frequently cleared 13 feet. This setback convinced him it was not his day and he jogged through the 1500 meter run, the final event, finishing a poor last in a field of six. As it was, he set a new carnival rec- ord of 7735.6135 points, This was ‘ore | harely 50 points short of Ken Doher- ty’s listed American record of 7784.68 Points but considerably below the ‘an | ark of 78462203 credited recently to Jim Bausch of Kansas and the world’s record of 8053.29, held by Paavo Yrjola of Finland. Barney, won five of the ten events but, was ‘short of his best marks in the pole 'vault,-high jump, 100-meter dash and 110-meter hurdles.

Little Tony, a shortender in the betting, Friday night fought one of the finest battles of his eventful ca- reer to wreck the drive of Jack (Kid) Berg of England, by a stunning’ knockout victory in the third round of their scheduled 10-round double- barreled title bout Friday night in the Chicago stadium. ‘The triumph over the Gallant Sox of Great Britain preserved Canzon- erl’s hold on the lightweight cham- pionship of the world; and added Berg's junior welterweight crown to the Canzoneri collection. “Canzoneri, considered more or less washed up after losing the featherweight title to Andre Routis of France, in 1928, sur- prised the fistic trade by blasting the Nghtweight championship loose from Al Singer last November. Before ‘he climbed into the ring last night to tackle Berg, who had not met a reverse in 26 starts against ranking opposition, there was more talk that Canzoneri was washed up— X 1e, Cond and watchful, he walked out in the first round and went, to work on the slambang Britisher. In spite of his apparent mastery, the knockout lacked nothing in dramatic thrill. They stood in a neutral corner firing away, Canzoneri carefully and Berg working in his characteristically windmill fashion. Tony stepped away, then in, drop- ping two sharp rights on Berg’s head. Berg kept on moving in, but straight- ened up just in time to take a per- fectly aimed right smash full on the chin, He flopped to the canvas like a sack of meal. Thoroughly out, Berg rolled over and instinctively _at- tempted to hoist himself to his feet. He partly succeeded with the aid of the ropes as referee Little Phil Collins said “seven,” but his legs refused to support him and he slumped back on the floor. Collins steped over and raised Canzoneri’s arm. The cool, calculating Canzoneri of the fight disappeared and he jumped about the ring, almost delirious with happiness. Then as he received the {National Boxing association's dia- mond-studded championship belt from General John V. Clinnin, presi- dent of the N. B, A.; and chairman of the Illinois State Athletic commission, tears trickled down t! ough Hits ‘wide The fight was packed with action every second of the way, but the sta~ dium was far from packed, only 11,780 watching it, and the comparatively small sum of $54,990.48, was taken in deducted, Canzoneri received 50 per cent, or between $20,000 and $25,000, while Berg’s 10 per cent amounted to about $5,000. PETROLLE PLEASED AT CANZONERI VICTORY La Crosse, Wis.,’ Aprik 25.—(?)— Billy Petrolle, “The Fargo Express,” @ spectator at a fight card here Fri- day night, expressed pleasure at word of the victory in Chicago of Tony Canzoneri over Jack “Kid” Berg in their battle for'the lightweight cham- pionship. “Now,” Billy said, “my manager will be able to arrange a fight with Can- zoneri for me.” Petrolle defeated Canzoneri in a fight at Chicago last September.
