BY FAIR PLAY (Copyright 1925 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug, 1.—Huimbert Fugazy, {n announcing his ptomo- tion schethes for Ebbets Field says that he intends to throw Mickey Walker and Dave Shade into the s—if. Walker signs forthe bout —without any preliminaries, This will throw light upon an in. teresting. question—how much the success'of a boxing show depends upon the character of the prelim!- nary bouts. In the writer’s opinion a lot de- pends upon this. And with no pre- liminary bouts at all, it seems that the star bout would have to be a crackerack—a better bout, certainly than a Walker-Shade go—to stand by itself. Now the most successful show of year was the Italian Hospital bouts. where in addition to the go between Greb and Walker, such fighters as Shade and Slattery, Wills and Weinert and Lynch and Sharkey were slated. This show made about $360.000, The milk fund bouts in which Mc- Tigue and Berlenbach figured as the topliners made $172,665. The pre- ‘minarlea nmounted to little, TAGHARY NOT WN GOOD FORM BY JOHN B. FOSTER pyright 1 The Caspér Tribune) EW YORK, Aug 1.—While Cove- lekile, who has just finished a sring of 13 straight victories for Washing- ton, has been going great guns and vater Johnson bas been a better pitcher than he was last season and even Reuther has come through with more for the champions than he did for Brooklyn, Washington has been having a more disappoint- ing time with Zachary, one of the heroes of the 1924 world series. Apparently Zachary pitched all that he’ knew in the world series and 1s unable to regain his strength, or his confidence, or whatever it is that he has lost. Here is a fine young fellow who won 15 games and lost 9 In the 1924’ seakon, according to the so-called pitching records. that makes a total of 24 games, but he only pitched 13 complete games during the season. If anything were needed to show up further the ab- surdity of the present pitching rec- ord system, Zachary’s record would be a case in point, There is nothing to tell how many complete games he won and .how many he lost. He may have lost ine complete games out of the 13, th | Luque, By NORMAN E. BROWN Back in the “old days" the veter- ans like to talk about, ball clubs-am- bled along through the campaign with three good pitchers. Then more stringent pitching rules, mod- ern ideas of handling teams—and moderh ideas of how much a pitcher ought to work, changed things. Pitching staffs were enlarged to meet conditions. Old-time hurlers won from 40 to 50 games a season. This number dwindled. Nowadaws pitchers strive to win 25 game: ‘e rated Breat | pitchers of the year if they exceed | that mark. All of which {s sort of prelimin- ary to calling attention to the her- culean efforts being made by. three | members of the Cincinnati Reds’ pitching staff to carry that team to victory in a red-hot race in the Na- tional league, These three men are Adolfo Lu- que, Pete Donohue and Eppa Rixey. Recent average show that this trio | has won all but a scant half dozen or so of the games grabbed by the Reds to date, If one wants to point out the cause for the failure of the Reds to soar higher in the race one need only cite the failure of Carl | Mays, Jakie ‘May and Rube Benton to support the three stars named. Haa one of thése latter three hit a winning stride at any time during the campaign the National league club standings might appear much different. Had any one of these won as many games as Luque, Donohue or Rixey, or had all three ¢ontribu- ted a dozen victories the Reds would now be in first place—fighting off the Glants and Pirates. Right now Luque {s pitching the best game of his career, In shut- ting.out the Phillies one day recent- ly Luque riot only boosted the win- ning streak of ‘his team to four gamés, but ran his total of strike- out victims to elghteen in two games. Donohue is living up to expecta- tions. Benton is coming through as the Red bosses hoped he would last year, In the 1924 campaign much was expected of him, but he won only seven games and lost nine. He passed the seven-victory mark some time ago this season and is still going strong. Mays had only a fair year last season and his poor worl: this sea- son probably spells the end of the reer, Jackie May, Coast star, failed to get going last year. Won three gaines and lost the same number. Much was expected of the tiny one this season. He has not rounded into form to date, however. So, unless the unexpected hap- pens, Luque, Benton and Donohue will have twirled in vain.
