MONDAY, AUGUST, 3, 1925 Washington Gains wo hits, the tables on one of the men who had helped to beat him, Ty Cobb, as KEARNS ON WAY TO MAKE PEACE Walker’s Troubles Be Ironed Out on Visit East. BY FAIR PLAY (Copyright 1925 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—It looks as though Jack Kearns, now traveling eastward from the west coast would arrive in New York bearing plenty of soothing syrup for the New York State athletic commission, ‘What he will do concerning Demp- sey remains to be seen, but the wri- tor has it pretty straight that he will be ready for action concerning the welterweight champion, whose man- ager he also 1s, that will be very pleasing to the boxing solons. Mickey Walker is due to meet Kearns when he arrives In Chicago today and the two will enter into final negotiations for Mickey's bat- tle with Bermondsey Billy Wells in East Chicago, Ind,, next Friday night. Then he will hop a train in time to turn up for the boxing com- mission meet on Tuesday and per- haps ready to sign for a Walker- Shade battle at Ebbets Field in under the promotion of Humbert Fugazy. Tf the commissioners maintain a stiff-necked attitude toward Kearns and refuse to permit him to appear before the board on the ground that he {s no longer recognized as a man- ager, then Kearns ‘s ready, it 1s sald, to play a Dempsey trump card that will straighten everything out, so far at least as his relations with to the official state boxing body is concerned, If such a straightening out occurs, then some interesting announce- ments concerning a battle between Walker and Shade will be made, It would be funny, wouldn't it, after ‘All tho fuss and ballyhoo Leo Flynn, who is Shade’s manager, should be the one to throw a wrench into the works? This may well happen. Walker, as champion, is due to get 374% per cent of the receipts. Shade, as chal- lenger, normally would haye to be content with much less, But Flynn is likely to claim that in Knocking out Jimmy Slattery his man performed a dazzling feat which greatly increased the value of his services as an attraction, And it did, ‘There is no doubt about that. ee Today’s Games National League Brooklyn at Chicago.

EW YORK, Aug. 3.—(By The Associated Press.) — Bighteen years of major league pitching have failed to take toll from the mighty arm of Walter Johnson. Defeating the Detroit Tigers yesterday, 5 to 1, with but the veteran Washington hurler celebrated his debut as a pitcher in 1907 against the same club by turning on Athletics, Now a member of the Detroit club at that time, had a share in the defeat of the young pitcher 18 years ago, 3 to 2, and yesterday Walter took his ze- yenge by holding Cobb hitless in three times at bat. In that first game, Johnson pitch- ed for a last place club against a team which was perched high on the American League pinnacle. Yes- terday, in a great measure due to his own brilliant box work, he had the privilege of holding the mound for a world’s champion team and a pennant contender, now but one full game behind the leading Athletics, Only one other game was played In the junior cireult yesterday, the Cleveland Indians shattering a four | de-peoxs.

Four New York pitchers were liberal in their hit allowances while Mails scattered seven bingles by the visitors through the nine frames. Hornsby led the St. Louis assault with a triple and a home run, The return of Pittsburgh to the peak marked the tenth change in the national league leadership since the first week in July.

BROWN. Walter Holke, veteran first sacker of parts, is now a member of the Cincinnati Reds. This is his second term as a Redleg. The first service with the club was so short, however, that it didn’t take. In fact Walter never saw Cincinnati, Few fans, after they had gathered in the game 8 to 5, but errors by Wingo and Saveney nullified the rescue attempt, 5 to 3, Dick Cox’s homer, his second in as many days, produced the runs that gave the Robins a 4 to 2 tri- umph over the Cubs in the only other national league melee. Cox delivered his circuit smash with two on base in the opening frame, Osborne and Bhrhardt between them making the lead safe by limiting the Chicago team to four hits. goon uh ee Ee nat QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball, football, box- ing or any other amateur or pro fessional sport— know that he ever was the property of that club before he was handed over by the Phillies the other day at the waiver price. Back in the winter of 1918-1919 Holke was waiting for a local draft board to pull itself together and decide whether or not he belonged with a machine gun outfit or the home guards. The Giants, recognizing his worth as a first baseman but deploring the fact that he couldn't hit up to standard, had decided to trade him. McGraw wanted Hal Chase. So he cooked up a deal that sent Walter and Bill Rariden, catcher, to the Reds for the once great first sacker. The Reds didn't keep Holke long, however. Three days later they traded him to the Boston Braves for Inflelder Jimmy Smith. This time Holke, despite the fact the Philly bosses figure he is through, hopes to play considerable ball for the Cincinnati*team, Broke Into World's Series, Holke played first regularly for the Giants in 1917, the middle one Write to John B.
