CLAN IN NATIONAL LEAGUE RAGE New York Humbled by Score of 9 to 5 by Pirates As Cincinnati Tops Phillies, 7 to 5; Cards Defeat Boston, Robins Lose to Cubs. CHICAGO, Aug. 22.—(By The Associated Press).—The New York Nationals could feel the Reds’ breath coming hot on the backs of their necks as they started on the race to- ward the world series plate yesterday. The world’s champ- ‘ions lost, 9 to 5, to Pittsburgh, after using four pitchers with- out effect. The Pittsburgh batsmen took five runs in the first fnning and held their leadjin the American league. The New throughout. York-Chicago game will be transferred to New York as the Yankees have made their last appearance of the season in Chicago. The Chicago Nationals made a clean sweep of the Brooklyn series by taking the third game handily be- hind Vic Keen's swell pitching. Vic allowed only four hits. “Dazzy” Vance fanned nine Cubs in eight in- nings but was unable to stop the slugging of the Chicago players. George Grantham, tar cond sacker of the Chicago Nationals, in- creased his lead in stolen bases when he registered his 37th theft and Heathcote, a team mate, got into the running by swiping his 30th. “Sparky” Adams, since given the regular assignment at short following Hollocher’s retirement, has been play- “Sparky” grabbed off three While this was going on in New 7 York, the Reds won in Philadelphia by a score of 7 to 5 and climbed up a full game. They are now just three and one half games behind the losing leaders. In Boston, the St. Louis Nationals bunched hits against Cooney In the sixth and Oeschger in the ninth, de- feating the New Englanders, 8 to 2. Hornsby made e pair of two daggers. The Robins lost again in Brooklyn when the Chicago Nationals landed hard on Dazzy Vance's delivery. Dazzy was exceedingly good in spots, striking out nine men, but the Chi- cago swatters seemed to find him often. Dutch Henry, who pitched the ninth inning, let in five runs.

FIRPO SIGNS 10 ~ BATTLE WILLS Battle to Be Staged in Argentine Regardless Of Title Fight. NEW YORK, Aug., 22.—Luis Angel Firpo today has his signature on two contracts to fight Harry Wills, negro heavyweight in his home land, Ar- gentine. He signed them last night for Tex Rickard, one contract to hold if he beats Jack Dempsey on Septem: ber, 14, and wins the world’s cham- pionship; the other to be used if he suecumbs to the champion. ‘The only flaw in the preparations is that Wills has not placed his name on similar sheets. And Paddy Mul- lins, the negro’s manager stated that he wouldn’t sign Harry with Fripo ur ess the Argentine won the title. “T have Firpo signed for the fight. /AMullins can take it or leave it, win ” or lose,” Rickard said. SANTIAGO, Aug., 22.—<Although Chilean sport followers look kindly on Luis Angél Fripo, a majority be- Neve that he will not be able to win the heavyweight championship from Jack Dempsey. Experts who have seen recent films of his ring battles, especially that of the Willard fight, express the opinion that Firpo has made no progress since he fought here anc assert that Dempsey should win by a knockout. BUENOS AIRES, ‘The Aug., 22.—(By Associated Press}—News that Luis Angel Fripo nas signed a con- tract to meet Harry Wills in Argen- tina next April, was joyfully received here where the public has long hoped that a first class match might be ar- ranged for its idol. Jaun Homs, Tex Rickard’s representative, said he be- lieved the engagement should draw at least 75,000 person: stop 316 W. Yellowstone Pittsburgh won its game in the early innings by driving five runs across the counting station in the initial inning with Watson on the mound for New York. Manager Mc- Graw juggled his lineup in hopes of getting a winning combination, but it was fruitless. “Rabbit” Maranville had his bat- ting clothes on, cracking out four hits in the batting bee staged for the afternoon. Rewlings and Grimm ran him a close second, with three blows each, while Jackson of the Giants poled two doubles and a single. Ke i a tle.)

OLYMPIC TEAM: DONATIONS ASKED Public Response to Appeal for Financial Help in Sending Athletes Overseas Should Be Generous, Sports Scribe Asserts. BY HENRY FARRELL, (United Press Sports Editor). NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—(United Press).—Regarding the transportation to Paris next summer of the athletes, who are to represent the United States in the Olympics, and the care of the stars who are to carry the American shield into action, the American Olympic committee has the following to say: “The chartering of the S.

Players are request- portation problem; the chartering of Prince Murat’s chateau solved the housing problem—there is still one big problem to be solved—that is the fi- nancial problem. “You can assist in solving this prob- lem by sending in your contribution immediately to Jullus H, Barnes, treasurer of the American Olympic committee, $05 Broadway, New York City." No more emphasis can be added to this appeal for public support in help ing the committee finance the trip of the American athletes to Paris. Enk- land has been raising funds for almost a year to defray the expenses of send- ing a team to represent the British Isles. Other European countries have secured funds, and the American team will be given sufficient financial back- ing 1f the public is made to realize that it has just as much a chance to help the cause as the athletes who features of the coming games, and as long as the opinion prevails in most European countries that the United States is laden with dough, they na- turally expect to see the best of the American athletes on the scene of action, There ts another thing to consider also. The hope of one time wearing the American team as one of the big one of the few things that encourages a young athlete to bear the tedium of learning and training. If none but champions ar taken on the trip, there may be no American champions at some future date, because youngsters outslde of those who aspire to the glory of collegiate fame, will have very lttle inducement to plug along the hard way to champtonships. It would be a fine thing for pro- fesstonal sport to lend a hand toward the financing of the trip. It would not be asking too much to have each of the major league baseball clubs stage an “Olympic Day” and turn over the receipts to the committes. It could have added features by staging @ special race or a series of races with one of the big athletes as a drawing card. As a matter of fact, the major league club owners should not have to be asked to do this, they should volunteer and be glad to help. Tex Rickard, Jrmmy Johnston and some of the other big promoters could do a loyal and patriotic act by ar- a big benefit boxing card, The through sponsoring amateur boxing and developing it to a sound plane of high standaris, has done much to make customers for the pro- moters of professional boxing, and they should at least do something in return, It is generally agreed that America will have @ much harder task to carry off the honors in the next Olympic than at any time in the past. It there !s not enough money to send a big team to France and provide the Jathletes with the kind of food and | training that fs necessary, a defeated |team may return home next August. Major General Henry Allen, one of the prominent members of the com- mittee, said on his return from a re- cent trip to Europe. “It behooves us Americans to busy ourselves and do our ‘bit’ {f we are to uphold our prestige as the world's greatest athletic nation, because these other nations mean business. Swed- en, Finland, Italy, Denmark, Norway and Holland are preparing on a much larger scale than ever.” England wants $200,000 to send the British team to Paris, and the cost of transportating her team is negligible. It will cost the United States twice much, and the only answer is: ‘Dig down, boys, dig down.” Address Jullus H, Barnes, treasurer of the American Olympic Committees, 805 Broadwi | | event! i |ed to get in touch with thelr oppon- jents and arrange their matches ac- | cordingly.
