FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1924. ‘ eve Caspet Daily Cridune BROWNS TRIM YANKS TWICE AS SENATORS ROMP ON THE TIGERS! | By Leased Wire Washington Advanced to Within Half Game of New York in Thursday’s Games; Giants Are Blanked by Pirate Clan, ‘ (By The Associated Press). St. Louis’ southpaws proved too much for the league longing Yankees yesterday and the Browns romped home with both ends of a double header, 2 to 1 and 5 to 4. Wingard, in the first game, had the New York Yankees at his mercy, limiting them to five bingles, and Danforth was the Yankee nemesis in the second. - CHAMP SPIKES INJURY RUMORS Betanacy Says He Only Scratched Hand in ‘Auto Smashup. By TED LEBERTHON (Special Correspondent of The Cas- per Tribune.) (Copyright, 1924, Consolidated Press Association.) LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1—All those reports that Jack Dempsey’s ring career had been ended by in- juries suffered in a recent auto Babe Ruth hit his 38rd home run of the season and his 14th ¢his month, establishiig a new monthly record in the second game. The double defeat cut down the Yankee lead to one half game over Washington as the Senators defeat- ed Detroit, 1 to 0. Harvey McClellan, substituting at second for Eddie Collins, was a big factor in Chicago's victory over Boston, 5 to 4. The Athletics and the Indians broke even in a double- header, Philadelphia taking the first, 7 to 6, and Cleveland the ‘sec- ond, 4 to 8, in a 10-inning battle. John McGraw’s Giants took an- other drubbing at the hands of the Pirates in a game that rain Inited to six innings. The score was 5 to 0. Chieago remains in second place, six games behind. Chicago evened up thé series with Brooklyn, winning-a closely con- tested game, 4 to 1, Defeat once more was Philadel- phia’s portion when the St. Louis Cardinals batted Mitchell out of the box in the first inning, scoring four smash-up on the road to Warner'siruns, enough to win, 6 to 3. Hot Springs can be laid away in camphor _ balls. The champion spiked them in emphatic fashion in an interview that started on the stage at Universal City, where he was working in a film production, and ended in his dressing room where he sat, the picture of health and strength, in a big easy chair. “Yes, I'm fit,” he said. “I was not hurt at all. Scratched my hand ‘a little getting out of the wreckage, but what was that? I could go into the ring and defend my title to- night.” Dempsey grinned, stretching tight his tanned skin across his flat high cheek bones, back to his small, t ike ears. Then he became “Now, you just and I'll answer if I can.” ‘Well, the big car was on the scrap heap, @ total loss of $15,000. Mrs. Teddy Hayes had fainted, more from the shock than anything else. Hayes, his trainer, was only scratch- ed a little. He did not blame the newspepers for thinking perhaps he, Dempsey, had been hurt badly. But he wasn’t. As to what he would do if he had gotten hurt, that was @ stickler. “Understand me right,” he said “y don’t imagine Z'!! ever Avant for oney. I own some real estate, a hotel and a couple of apartment houses. I've done my best to pre- pare financially for anything that might happen. Right now, I'm kind of interested in motion pic- tures, not so much as an actor but more in the production side.”” “Honest, I don’t know what I'd do if I ever had to quit the ring. 1 can't-think that far ahead. mu have to kinda find myself In some- thing—something that will interest me, though. I want money but I want to be interested, like Iam now, in being a satisfactory fighter. “Me get married? No, not the way I feel shout ». now. But a man is always chahging his mind fsn’t he? That's why I would not want to say what I'd turn to if I left the ring. Right now, I'm strong for the production end of pictures.

COMEBACK TO BE TRIED BY WILL RITCHIE SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.—Willie Ritchie, who held the lightweight boxing championship from 1914 to 1917 has signed a contract for the first bout of a much heralded come- back attempt. Two years ago Ritchie now an automobile tire dealer here, let it be known that the huge purses offered for boxing matches in the east were too tempting to resist and that he would endeavor to re-enter the ring and gain some of them. His announcement was published widely and many pictures of the for- Mer champion in training were printed. But no matches were made. Last night, with no preliminary publicity, word emanated from Tom- my Simpson, Oakland boxing pro- moter, that Ritchie had signed a contract to box some welterweight over thé four round distance—the legal maximum in California—on August 20.

GOLF AND TE NNISIN U.S. By FRANK GETTY (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—(United Press.—As they come down the back-stretch in the major league baseball races, it begins to look more than ever like the Giants and the Yanks for the world series. And ‘my guess would make the Giants favorites in the big series, A few weeks ago this column said the Yanks were fading fast, but would probably muster strength enough to pull out and win the 1924 pennant. It still looks that way. Naturally, theré is an “if”. That s the saving grace in baseball. Hugging must have luck and comparative freedom from injuries {tf he gets under the wire ahead. He isn't getting much pitching, but the Yanks. pack a terrific punch and the team is hitting again. But a vlanket would cover the first four lubs, and Huggins knows that if he Yanks stub their toes, all seven of thelr competitors will “put the boots’ to his noble athletes if they get three points down. And they'll chance a foul, at that. eee So much for the Yanks, who, be- fore the season began, were run- away favorites. The poor, old Giants! The ex- perts, April 1, said John McGraw has br only an old glove, his personal ins and a band of “has-beens never-wases,” fitted only for the old folks’ home. They turned the Giants loose in the cellar and in- vited seven other clubs to go eat them up. Well, the Giants are breezing along in front and look certain to cop. Cincinnati, picked by many to beat the Giants and be {n the series, has failed. When Grover Alexander busted his wrist the Cubs had an awful blow. The Pirates pulled up, but they don't seem to have the stuff to win against the Giants. On form, the Giants were beaten when the ump yelled: “Play ball!” in April. Cincinnati had the call. Then, in stepped Lady Luck. When Fate begins to give a ball team a kick in the seat of the pants, the only refuge is armor-plate. If there was any bad luck that ‘Jack’ Hendricks, Reds manager, didn't get, it was belng saved up for the presidential race. Pitchers were wrong, Inflelders cracked bones, a black cat attended every game and sat on =he Reds’ bench. eee But modern baseball is purely commercial. When it started to be professional, it was usually repre- sentative of the town it was located in. But time passed, it became what it is today—merely a money- making business. -So there {s no more use shedding tears over a dis eased ball team than there is sob: bing because a decayed show gets the double razz. eee "The fact Js that golf and the motor car is increasingly threaten- ing the so-called ‘‘national” game. On a recent Sunday, with the Browns as opponents, the Yanks played, under a perfect sky, to al- most as many vacant as filled seats. The links were crowded, the tennis courts had huge waiting lists and the country roads were thick with everything from Ford's fleas to the most expensive importation. Maybe this was why the Yanks and Browns couldn't fill the stadium eee But, meanwhile, Cincinnat! is to have a new semi-public golf cour: that will give more thousands a chance to play, not watch.

Back to baseball for a minute. George Kelley's comeback for the Giants has been the baseball sur- prise of 1924. It has had a lot to do with sending the Giants out in front In 1923, the only thing Kelley could hit was a couble play. If there was no one on and two out, George occasionally would get himséit a hit, but with three on, two out and orge up in the ninth, the cash customers left hurriedly. They couldn't bear to see it. This year however, his h’ me runs have beaten a steady thud, and where, tn the fall of 1923, McGraw would have sold him for a glove and a bat-boy, a bucket of diamonds would be re- fused today. Still, they say, “they never come back.“ But Kelley's friends say he has never really been away. *- The New York news| headlines that “Rabbit” of the Pirates has reformed, don't say from wha . pers say in Maranville but t. .

MIAROONS MUST CANCEL TOUR By LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright 1924, ribune) NEW YORI Waseda Univer of yled the University of Chi neel the proposed tour of the Nippon Island by the Maroon ball tearn next month. Evidently the earthquake did more than merely shake buildings down in the land of cherry blossoms. At least cconomic reaséns are given and accepted as the reason for the action of the Japanese college. There appears to be no thought that resentment concerning our restric- tions played any part in the decl- sion. At any rate, {t is a real blow to Chicago, as the Midway nine has looked forward to its Oriental jault each year for quite a number of years. The Waseda-Chicago series is the oldest prolonged internatio) college baseball series in histor: Since an American first introdu the game to the iglands In the nine- ties, the Japs have taken to it as easily as they have acquired the art of high class tennis, urs of professional big league teams have helped make the sport popular in Japan and Chicago has done much to further the national game there. In addition to the money short use at Waseda, Professor Ido Abee the father of Japanese college base ball, has been too ill to 100k after the details of conducting the Maroon series in his country. Abee and his Waseda team were last here in the spring of 19: T met several American college nines that year, traveling from const to coast.
