World Results By Leased Wire BABE DRIVES OUT SIXTH HOME -—DFSENSON, LEADS OLD RECORD) | Mackmen Go Down to Defeat for Seventh Con- secutive Time; Cy Williams Helps the Phillies Turn Back Giants. (By The Assoc‘:.ted Press). Babe Ruth hit his sixth home run of the season yes- terday in the Yankee 10 to 5 victory over the Athletics and is now ahead of his schedule in 1921 when he estab- lished the record of 59. It was the seventh straight defeat for Connie Mack’s team. The men along ‘Murderers’ Row” in the Yankee batting order slaughtered Philadelphia pitchers. Cy Williams, home run champion of the National League, who tied Ruth with 41 last season, knocked his third of the year with two men on base and helped the Philliea turn on the tormenting Giants. The worm kept turning until Wayland Dean was forced from the box and Dinty Gearin, McGraw's half pint pitcher, forced in the winning run of an 8 to 7 Philadelphia victory. Jacobs of the Cubs walked Cave- ney in the ninth inning and forced in the winning run for Cincinnati .in a 3 to 2 battle that allowed the Reds to creep to within one game of the leading Giants. Carl Mays Pitched steady ball. Jake Fournier made his fourth and fifth home runs of the season in the Brooklyn 11 to 4 win from Bos- ton. Zach Wheat hit his third homer, a double and single, and has now made 10 hits, including three home runs in his last 13 times at bat. ‘The Boston Red Sox, on a contin- uous batting spree, scored their fifth consecutive victory and took third place by winning from Washington 8 to 3. Cleveland stopped the win- ning streak of the Browns with a 5 to 3 triumph. Manager Tris Speaker was out of the game with an attack of influenza. MoNulty, former Ohio State Captain, who re- placed him, made three hits. Harry Heilmann, batting cham- pion of the American League, led Detroit's attack against Chicago with four of the 18 base hits made by his team in its.8 to 5 victory. Barrett, White Sox outfielder, speared Cobb's line drive with one hand and doubled Holloway at the plate by an accurate throw. The Tigers jumped to second place a game and one half behind the Yankees. Chicago dropped to fourth, Pittsburgh and St. Louis were not scheduled in the National. Harvey McClellan, shortstop, ts the second member of the Chicago White Sox to undergo the surgeons knife. Little Mc was operated on yesterday for a stomach ailment described as “adhesion.” It will be several weeks before the player will be able to don a uniform.

KEARNS IS OUT FOR BIG PURSE Dempsey Not to Fight Without Large End Of Receipts. By FAIR PLAY. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, May 6—There isn't any doubt that Jack Kearns will hold out for a cracking big piece of money for supplying Jack Dempsey as an opponent for Harry Wills in the arena at Jersey City next Sep- tember. Neither should anyone be surprised if this fact stands. out be- fore long as an obstacle that may prevent the battie, Kearns has an idea that his man can beat Wills. But he cannot be even reasonably certain. Of all the possible candidates for Jack's crown ‘Wills is the most formidable. This being so there is of course more than a slight chanceithat the cham- pion might be toppled from “fis throne. If this happens Dempsey’s days as a big money maker will be ended. A wise business man such as Kearns surely is would take this possibility into consideration. And he would not be a wise manager if he did not squeeze every cent out of the pro- moter than said promoter would stand. It may be, as said, that Kearns may want more money for running this chance than Rickard, or any other promoter, would be willing to pay. Kearns’ reported asking price, $750,000, probably would be regarded as too big. A fight of the sort while sure to be successful hardly seems to justify paying that sum. to one of the principals. Of course, if there were a two million dollar gate the demand would seem more reasonable but no man in his senses believes that the gate, if such a battle is hold, will realize anything of the sort. In other words fans would do well not to bank too heavily just yet on the fight being staged—no matter what terms and reports pass to and fro between this city and California. / Boston a Garter @he Casper Daily Cridune | YOU KNOW ME AL—Adventures of Jack Keefe ROW W4 We AS FOR you GETTING TO THE GALL PARK, THERE'S VF A TRAIN THAT LEavVES — look what you are getting, we got S close closets for close and a separate den for you, s0 I says the whole famly, aint got enongh close so as they could spred them in to 5 closets and besides I aint so wild that-I need = 2c=.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May 6.—One of the champions named last winter for a fall from the title this year made the prediction good when Joe Lynch was beaten by Abe Goldstein, the. frail, Uttle New York bantamweight. Mike McTigue, the light heavy- weight champion, another one on the lst picked for a successor, was saved only because a decision was not given at the end of a twelve round bout in Newark against Young Stribling. Johnny Dundee, juntor lightweight and featherweight cha:npion, figured alsc as‘Sctng at the end of his string, s still around, but he’s going. Dundee was given a bad beating recently by Rocky Kansas, Buffalo lightweight, who floored him twice and beat him all the way in a ten- round overweight contest. ‘When he was defeated by Kansas he blew all claim for a chance at Benny Leonard's lightweight crown and he made Kansas the outstand- ing challenger for that title. Kansas has long been regarded as the most formidable contender in the lightweight class, and. because Dun- dee failed to beat him, perhaps, it should not be taken to follow that Dundee is in danger of losing his featherweight .or his + 130.pound championship. Dundee, however, has shown that he has lost his steam, and when his Speed is gone, also, he is ready for the taking. The game little Italian has been going longer than any active boxer in the ring, and perhaps he knows that he can’t go on forever. He jas announced that he Is going to de- fend his title three times this sum- mer, but if‘he survives three cham- plonship bouts he will have to ex- ercise plenty of caution in picking his spots. Kid Kaplan, the little New Ene- land fighter, is regarded now as the hardest contender in the class, and if Dundee takes him for a match, there is every possibility that there will be a new featherweight cham- pion, Harry Greb, the middleweight champion, will have the time of his career {f he accepts a match with Jack Delaney, the Bridgeport con- tender. Delaney isn't a great fighter simply because he stopped Paul Per- lenbach, but the confidence he ac quired in that fight will mean much to Him. He showed tn that fight that he wasn't chicken-hearted and It was his alleged timid spirit that had been regarded as his greatest handicap. rT Greb lost on a foul to Kid Norfolk in Boston recently. Kid Norfolk is anything but a slouch and, in fact he is one of the greatest light heavy- weights in the country. Greb might feel that he did well in getting out of it as he did, but he was not fight- ing then as a middleweight. Mickey Walker and Benny Leo- nard seem to be safe in the possess. ion of their titles, as no outstand- ing contenders were developed dur- ing the wintef season. The con- tenders in the welterweight and light weight class are so far removed from “natural attractions” that Walker and Leonard will have to meet, if they want to get at least one big money shot this summer. Before Billy Gibson had the Tun- ney-Carpentier match sneaked away from him, it seemed to be popular opinion that Tunney would have an easy time winning from the French- man, It is our opinion that Georges would give Tunney the worst fight he ever had and that the Frenchman ought to beat him, Tunney never has done much with a real puncher, and he is not a great puncher him- self. Carpentier is a great puncher, and he is a much more aggressive fighter than the American light heavyweight champion. eee Dempsey !s to fight only once dur. ing tHe outdoor season, and it may be that Tex Rickard can arrange to match him with Harry Wills. The public, by ‘skillful ballyhoo, can. be led to believe that Dempsey ts ser- fously risking his title when he meets Wills, but there are no logical reasons to believe that Dempsey would have anything but an easy fight. ‘Three years ago, when the big colored fighter was in his prime, he would have given the champion 4 fight, but his hands are gone now and his mechanism is rusty from inactivity. As a spectacle it would be a great attraction, but as a fight it probably would be a great disap- pointment. Abe Goldstein, after winning the hantamweilght championship from Joe Lynch, is probably in as much trouble as any of the other doubtful champions! Goldstein will have to take a match with Bud Taylor to get any kind of big dough, and Tay- lor is the most dangerous contender In the class. Goldstein probably would Insist upon & no-decision scrap and he would rely on his speed and boxing to stay away from the hard-hitting ‘Taylor youngster, and he might be able to do it. Taylor is the fastest little fellow in the ring, and he has only one fault—he ts too fond of his right hand, Mike McTigue, the light heavy- weight champion, will lose the title the first time he meets a good con tender, but Mike will see to it that he gets plenty before he takes such a match and that he gets plenty for taking such a match.

Heydler, president of the Na- tional league, for “disgraceful con- duct" in the game yesterday with Brooklyn. / Stengel ‘was efected from the game by Umpire Jack Powell after a heated argument resulting from the umpire's decision on strikes while Qutflelder Powell of the Braves was at the plate in the sec- ond inning. Stengel defied the umptre's order for several minutes and took'his regular post in the field until a threat that his action would forfeit the game persuaded him to depart. Powell, the outfielder, and Manager Dave Bancroft of the Braves also were banished. The game was won by Brooklyn, 11 to 4.
