(By The Associated Press). Cifttinnati was leading the National League today after trailing the Giants for three weeks. They breezed past the faltering champions with a speed that may land the rushing Reds a lap in front before their sprint ends. Scoring only nine more runs than their opponents in the last 17 games, the Ohioans won twelve of the contests, av- eraging Jess than a one run edge in each battle. Contrasted to the snap-tight ac- tivities of Jack Hendrick’s team, the play of the Giants has been almost sad, Yesterday's 6 to 3 defeat at St. Louis was the fifth to which the champions submitted from cellar nines within the last six days. Falling to tailenders and playing loose ball, with Pittsburgh, Chicago and Cincinnati yet to face, the im- mediate future of the Giants loom dark. Brooklyn won from Chicago, 7 to 3, behind Vance's steady pitch- ing, and is only three games behind McGraw's team.

But per- haps both of them will find that Indianapolis i# not willing to have the team disturbed until it has won the pennant it seems headed for. As a matter of fact, Cincinnati! and Brooklyn are not the only big league clubs that would like a pick at the hard playing Hoosiers. Sev- eral other teams have an eye them. Indeed somebody wants al- most every player Indianapolis has got. There are so many good ones that the club would be riddled if the big league sharpshooters had thelr way.

FARRELL (United Press Staff Editor) NEW YORK, May 13.—(United Press).—When Harry Greb, world's middleweight champion, meets Jack Delaney, the slim Bridgeport chal- lenger, at the Yankee Stadium in June, many of the experts believe the title-holder will be in for the warmest time of his career. Some think he will be stopped. Greb has been scheduled for the warmest time in his career so many times that he should have been burnt to a crisp by this time, if there were good reasons for bellev- ing that he did have a hot time of it. The champion ts, without a doubt one of the most individual types that has ever held a title. With the possible exception of Johnny Dun- dee, the greatest freak of the ring, Greb has fought more, and in more classes, than any fighter of the present day at least. He has been given little credit for a record that is really - remarkable. The critics say that he can’t hit, that he is a slapper, that he doesn't know how to box, that he has to use rough tactics and that he hasn't a single attribute of a great fighter. In spite of this, Greb goes out and beats any fighter that he really wants to beat. He was the light heavyweight champion twice, and he lost the title twice to Gene Tunney on two peculiar decisions. He then turned around and won the middle- weight championship rnd announced with all sincerity, that he was will- ing to fight Dempsey. It is told about ring circles that Greb once made Jack Dempsey look not so good when he boxed him sev- eral years ago while Dempsey was in training for the Brennan ‘fight, and {t is more or less known that Dempsey declined to accept the ser- vices of Greb when the Pittsburgher volunteered to help him get in shape for Carpentier Greb’s greatest assets are the heart of a llon, the confidence of a champion and the possession of enough energy to go fifteen rounds with the speed of a shadow-boxing flyweight. Greb took Tom Gibbons, when the 8t. Paul light heavyweight was in his prime, and gave him a lacing in Madison Square Garden. Gibbons said later that he was not tn shape, and it is known that he was just out of the flu, but that does not show in the records. For several years it has been the opinion of the experts that Grob would go along to a natural end un less someone discovered a strong leg- itimate middleweight, one with speed and a snappy punch who would not be bothered by the necessity of mak- ing weight Delaney is just a fighter. He ts a self-addressed envelope, Other. ered in this column, Casper Tribune) running from one base to another and he changes his mind and, throws the ball to the base to which the man is runiiing, is it a balk? Answer—It is permissilile if the pitcher touches the pitcher's plate with only one foot if he does not deliver the ball with either foot back of the plate, If the his mind as you describe the play he has made a balk. When he has started to deliver the ball to the batter be must go through with the play pitcher changes Question—Runner on second base Pitcher throws the ball to the shortstop, Is this a balk? Answer—It would not be a balk if the pitcher had not made any pro liminary motion to deliver the ball to the batter, ‘The pitcher may throw the ball to the shortstop if he tall, rangy, young French-Canadian, with a good punch, with a lot of clever boxing in him and with plenty of experience. If Greb is as poor as he has been said to be, Delaney ought to win the champlonship. If Greb finally has begun to feel the results of his ac- tivity in the ring and his weight- making, Delaney has a fine chance to win the title, ¢ Lact year Delaney was regarded as belng one of the best prospects in the class, but the wise boys whis- ered around that-he didn't have much of a heart and that he had a china right hand. ~ Accepting the words of the wise ones, Dan Hickey picked him out of a dozen or more fighters when the boxing commission said that Dan’s protege, the sensational Paul Ber- lenbach, would have to abandon the horizontal class in picking his op- ponents, In the first two rounds of the fight with Berlenbach, Delaney looked like he was hunting for a bicycle, and he seemed to be in a bad fright. He coaxed Berlenbach into a rush attack and caughtehim on the jaw with a well-directed right- hand punch that temporarily stopped the sensatfonal rise of the former Olympic wrestler. Delaney’s victory over Berlenbach proved that if he is not game, he is not hand-tied with freight and that he will fight back. The fight also could not help but give Delaney a lot of confidence in himself and when he fights a Nght putcher like Greb, he~certainly should have no inclination to step back. Delaney will have a lot of size and reach on Greb, and he is a much better boxer. Greb slaps and mauls around the ring, while Delaney boxes and hits with a snap and a punch There are plenty of reasons to fig- ure that Greb at the end of his string, but the same reasons could be found before in many of his pre- vious fights. Perhaps there were no good -rea- sons in the past why Greb should have won by any of his fights, but he went out and won them. HUNTER BUCKS WRITER RULE NEW YORK, M 13.—Francis T.

BY FAIR PLAY (Copyright, 1924 Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, May 13.—Romero's downfall came after & game show- ing that brought forth the admira- tion of the fans while at the same time, much as they wanted to, they could not hand him a great deal. He had little-if any science, as the critics pointed out after seeing him box. He has very little idea how to take care of himself defensively and every time he bores in with deadly intent he {s a mark for his opponent. It looks as though Romero was not even worth building up and that Rickard, realizing this, threw him in against a gbod second rater to see if by some chance he could pull thru He failed and in failing Floyd John. son does not get as much credit as he should. Floyd's wallop has improved as a fesult of the exercise including much wood chopping, that he has been doing in the past six months. He has a right that looks though it were not to be despised. And he is much better in every way. No doubt Rickard will fix him up with some good match for outdoors, Firpo must be smiling. The one thing that would have sent him hurrying to this country would have been a Romero victory over Johnson His pride would have caused him to come here just to muss the Chil- ean up, but now there is no necessity of thi all. As to Firpo's relations with Rick- ard, Hughey Gartland points out that Rickard offered him $500,000 to meet Wills and Dempsey. says Hughey, what would become of Rickard’s promise were Wills to beat Firpo in the first bout? It's a cinch he would not pay him any real money to go on against the champion. Firpo is no fool and when Rickard realizes this he will have better fortune in his dealings with the wild bull. Rickard’s real chance of pulling out of what looks to be an unprom- ising position is to induce Firpo to come here and pay him good money to beat the best contender for Demp: sey's tt! oe SPORT BRIEFS MEMPHIS.—Frank ‘Kid Dugar, Memphis, welterweight, was award- ed the decieion over Bobby Greene, San Antonio, after eight rounds, PITTSBURGH.—Harry Greb, mid- dieweight title holder, was awarded the decision over Pal Reed, Boston, after 10 rounds, DAYTON.—Joe Delaney, Dayton, and Johnny Tilman, St. Paul, fought a 12 round draw.

Rain and wind prevented ‘he Penn-Columbia- Harvard boat race on the Charles river, and also was responsible for the postponement of a number of baseball and tennis cont There were however, a few high lUghts which stood out even through the gloom of the weather. The de- cisive defeat ‘administered to Cor- nell’s crew. by Massachusetts Inst!- tute of Technology was one of them. That will give Cornell adherents something to think about for some time. Another was the overwhelming de- feat of the Princeton track team by Yale at New Haven. After the blue's rather mediocre showing in the tri angular meet with Penn and Dart- mouth, many sports followers fig- ured Yale for a loser against Prince- ton. But each Yale performer did a Uttle better than was expected of him, and the result was an 81-54 victory, in the course of which a couple of records were broken. Cornell sprang a surprise upon Penn by. winning their dual track meet 70 2-3 to 64 1-3, largely thru the work of Kirby and Gerry, the former winning the two mile and the latter taking first in the milo and second place in the half. ——__—— NEW TREATMENT FOR SWOLLEN GLANDS People who have enlarged glands ought to know that by freely apply- ing Emerald Oi! daily the gland can be brought to a head and all the germs and poisonous secretions dis- charged and destroyed.
