There was a party on in the afternoon and she was going. “IT am no Helen Wills,” as she walked awa The writer asked her just what she meant by that remark ‘Well?’ said the girl laughingly, “I didn’t mean it ia the sense of tennis .playing..or.it,is.obyious L am no Helen Wills there.

Do You Know You Can Buy HUDSON COACH CASPER $1,485.00 Theirs was the fina! bout of four thrilling struggles for char- ity last night in the ring of the Polo Grounds marked by tarry Wills, yererun negro heavy- weight challenger took only two rounds to dispose of the Newark comeback, Charley Weinert. Jimmy Slattery, sensational Buf- falo, New. York, middleweight fell an unexpected victim to a furious attack from the Golden Gate centered in the fast flying fists of Dave Shade. Floored three times in the third round, Slattery was saved from ten count when his seconds t: in the towel The weights were: Shade 103; isiat- tery 162%, Jack Sharkey and Joe Lynch, rival veteran bantams, fought a four round draw. For 18 rounds of a bruising mill with Walker, Greb fought at clo#e quarters. Then he cut loose. Com- ing out of his corner in the 14th with a terrific right, he spun the eheilenger around with a blow to the jaw. Another right found the Same mark as Walker went to the ropes, and for the first timé since he became champion of the 147 pound- ers, the Elizabeth, N. J. boy was staggered’ and groggy. Greb leaped upon Walker and drove him from rope to rope. The challenger, his face bleeding in three places from steady pounding strove to protect: himself, and then, in one final effort he lashed out with right and left at the astonished Greb. The rally kept the middleweight champion at bay until the bell, and he went vigorously aftér a knock- out in the fifteenth, but instead of awilting foe he found’ a wounded lon. Six times-Walker ripped sledge hammer drives into the Pittsburgh man’s stomach until Greb, recover+ ing, went back at his opponent. A crowd of 65,000 was electrified by a spectacle of two champions belting each other: hus the finat bell found them—Greb majestic in a clever and decisive victory over a foe he outweighed by séven pounds; Weaker great in an exhibition of fighting pluck which cost him none of his prestige as a champion welter- welght, The battie had the spectators on their toes throughout wittr ffs speed, Walker, a dangerous hitter at a dis- tance, was.given few opportunities to-mix as he would liked to have done, Greb quickly took the fight to him, > TEXAS BEATS STANDARDS IN LEAGUE GAME The Texas team of the Oll City league defeated the Standard nine by a score of 4 to 0 in a game play- ed yesterday afternoon on the high school diamond, MeWhorter pitehed for the Texas team, The box score: Texas— AB.

The team that won the American league pennant and the world’s champion: ship in 1920 with one of the best Dall clubs. of modern. times—a club that played heads-up ball, win, lose or draw; that presented a power attack and a beautiful defense in the box and afield, and that fought to the last ditch, is now wallowing around at sea in the Américan league race, sadly in need of con: siderable overhauling and strength- ening. Latest averages show the, team ranking sixth in batting strength and seventh in fielding. Your eyes grow weary be you reach the names of any Cleveland: pitchers in the winning averages, The team needs pitchers. It needs & good catcher. It needs inflelders It needs hitting strength. But most of all it needs the battery men. And right here is where the rub comes, Two years ago couple of likely the club had a looking catchers in Luke Sewell and Glenn Myatt.

Stanley Coyeleskte, one of the few remaining spitball hurlers and the man who won three games for the Indians in the world’s series of 1920, seemed unable to win for the team. To the man in the stands it looked as though the team didn’t give its best behind Covey.

INFLAG RAGES Tigers and Cards May Be Reckoned With At the Finish BY JOHN B. (Copyright 1925 The Casper Tribune) EW YORK, July ‘The cham pion Washingtons teeny to have the edge on the Philadelphia Athletics in the American League as July opens, while the Pittsburgh Pirates have it on-the New York Giants for the mo- ment in the National, But there fs another threat in the offing—Ty Cobb and his Detroit Tigers in one league and Rogers Hornsby and his OSTER rejuvinated St, Louls Cards in the other. These two teams were the real gainers of ground in the month of June and they promise to be in the-month of July. Old Ty" Cobb yhas his pitchers well in tow now and their efforts, combined with ‘some extra good batting, has shot the Tigers forward to a gain of about 80 percentage points during the month, If Detroit can gain relatively as much in the first month of dog-day baseball as it has gained in June, the Detroits ere long will be crowding both Washington and Philadelphia. This young Hornsby, of Texas, has taken a team of indecision and has made {t a factor In the National League race. He has licked all the other managers of his circuit except McGraw, McKechnie ‘and Robinson, and at the rate he is going, it ts only question of time before he wallops them.
