Parti- cular interest centers about the two mile relay team. The British have fooled us before, and they may do it again, but this year it looks like they were fh for a trouncing. That two-mile raco, tho, promises to be ong of the greatest relay events ever held. Not only is the Cam- bridge team in it, but there are Penn State—which set a record of seven minutes, 45 4-5 seconds last year+ Boston, Georgetown and Michigan to give it flavor, The mile relay also is most promiis- ing, #7ith the Yale, Harvard, Virginia @d Holy Cross entries, Then there is the two mile interna- tional, which lists among the entries Fooks of Cambridge, the crack three miler, who is counted on to do the two mile course in 9 minutes, 30 sec- ends. Fooks will need speed, for the other entries include Booth of Johns Hopkins, the intercollegiate cham- pion, Payne of Colby, Lermond of Boston, Forbes of Iowa, Dykeman of Carnegie Tech and Moore of Colum- bia. oo SEND IT To THE: PEARL WHITH’ LAUNDRY PHONE 1703 Wiring .

Splendid ‘pitching by Bentley, Dean and Huntzinger, all youngéters, combined with effec- tive kitting by Groh and Frisch, have sent the champions leaping ahead with surprising speed. The Giants beat Jess Barnes after he was apparently on his way to a one hit victory. Jackson’s home run in the eighth tied the score and Groh and Frisch batted a victory in the ninth. The victors made only four hits; Deberry, Brooklyn catcher, hit a homer with two men on in the tenth and the Robins defeated Phila- delphia, 7 to 4. It was the third extra inning game of-four played in Philadelphia this season and the second 10 inning defeat for Carlson. After pitching fine ball for eight innings, Grover Alexander weak- ened and Cincinnati's fighting team beat the Cubs, 2 to 1, in the tenth after tying the score in the ninth, Rube Benton gave the Cubs only four hits. Pittsburgh played another close ®ame, but for the first time it was @ slugging Battle. The Cardinal delivered the final punch and won, 11 to 9, Each team used three pitchers, Wilbur Cooper being one of the Card victims. Blades, Cardi- nal outfielder, hit a homer. Qnly two contests were played in the American league. Joe Bush, holding Wanhington to six hits, checked the Yankee losing streak and beat the Senators, 4 to 2. Meusel drove in the winning runs. Ruth went hitless. Rommel allowed the Red Sox only five hits and Philadelphia shut out Boston, 4 to 0. The Detroit-St. Louls and Cleveland-Chicago games were Postponed by rain and the Tigers and White Sox continue in a tie for first place. Joe Rabbitt, White Sox rookie out: fielder, has been sent back to Mus+ kogee, Okla., whence he came. Rab- bit impressed Manager Evers with his determination but the club is over-stocked with outfielders, and he Was sent back for more seasoning. Rogers Hornsby of the Cardinals, champion National league batter, had a perfect day at the plate in the slugging match against the Pirates. He poled three hits, one of them was a triple, in three times at bat. Babe Ruth of the Yankees, and “Cy" Williams of the Phillies had a hard time gauging the fences this season. Each drove out home runs in Sunday's game, but failed to add to their specialty, although Babe was at bat four times, going hitless, while Williams poled a single in four times at bat. Zack Wheat, veteran outfielder of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who got away to a good start by hitting safely in every game he played this season and topped his work by get- ting five hits in his final contest last Saturday, will be unable to play for a week because of an attack of bronchitis.

Promoters dre fighting for Car- pentier’s contract and all of @ sud: den he again becomes the most talk- ed.of boxer in the country. Carpen- tier still has colot and glamor to him and he still is a great drawing card, Recently a smart and experienced promoter was asked to. ¢xplain what there was about Carpentier, who is only an ordinary fighter, that makes him such a card, and he replied: “He draws the women.” Carpentier, it is almost certain, Is coming out of retirement for the pri- mary purpose of making money. He cannot be seeking more glory, as nothing he can do now Will erase the defeats by Dempsey and Siki from hig record, and he can’t hope to de- feat any of the American boxers whose name could restore any of his old-prestige. The Frenchman very obviously figures that he can beat Gene Tun- ney, the American light heavyweight champion, because he wanted to fight Tunney before he meets Tom Gibbons. Carpentier knows that he can't beat Gibbons and he wanted “big Shots” here this summer to close his career, * Tunney knows that he is figured as being easy by Carpentier and he does not try to deny it, “When Carpentier country,” Tunney h box Paul Sampson, and- T'll that it was a terrible thing. It was the worst fight I ever put up. Oar- pentier got up about the sixth round gave me a nasty look and waled out. He became convinced then, I sup- pose, that he could beat me.” ~ ‘Tunney was the one who blocked the deal when Floyd Fitesimmons, Chicago promoter, offered Billy Gib- son $20,000 for the contract the Frenchman had signed with him. ‘Tunney refused to give up the bout and his reasons show how lucky agree Carpentier had been compared to some of the other fighters. “I'm the light heavyweight cham- pion, whatever that means, and I have not had a chance to get & thing out of ft," Tunney says. “I have had only two “shots” since T got the title’ and I worked both times for 12% per cent. A lot of ordinary fighters get more than that. I want to fight Carpentier be- cause he'll draw a-house and I'll get some real money for my qpd. If I don't get Carpentier before Gibbons does, I'll never gét him. I'm smart enough to know that Carpentier will not be a card when Gibbons gets through with him. “If Gibbons beat Carpentier and IT wanted a match with Gibbons, I'd have to take his terms and it would not be more than another 12% per cent. If I beat Carpentier I could fight Gibbons on my terms, and I think I would be entitled to it." ee Carpentier had a fortune thrown in his lap, and Tunney has to go to all kinds of extremities to get him, self some return from his title. He was forced’ to the expenditure of about $5,000 out of his own pocket to get Carpentier signed to the arti- cles. Tom Gibbons is the most striking example in this country of bad breaks, against Carpentier's good breaks. é Next to Jack Dempsey, Tom Gib- bons is the best card in the country, but he has to go around the pro: vinces taking $1,000 and $2,000 fights because the good fighters will not meet him. * Gibbons went 15 rounds Dempsey, and didn’t get a Carpentier got $200,000 for going less than five rounds and taking a‘punch on the shoulder, Gibbons was pushed out of two big purses in New York Inst year, for no other reason than luck went BASEBALL QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball— If you want a rule interpreted— If you want to know anything about a play or a player— Write to John B.
