Cincinnati hooks up with the Cor- sairs at Pittsburgh today and inas- much as the Reds are on the third rung of the ladder, hard on the heels of the Glants, the outcome is expected to definitely decide the chances of the Hendricks tribe to keep up the pace in the flag pursuit. The recent form reversal in the Yankees will be watched with more than ordinary interest as the Hug- men invade the capital today to stack up against the world champions. With the jinx tagging the Yankees’ two-game’ winning streak now brok- en, the New York club is figured to disturb the peace of the front rank in the American league.

Draws Fire. BY FAIR PLAY (Copyright 1925 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 14,—Paddy Mullins, who controls the destinies of Harry Wills, is being roasted for not rushing to grab a chance of meeting Gene Tunney, Gene has signed and Mullins’ standing back is supposed to have a funny look. But it is not so funny. It is pretty reasonable. Mullins is nobody's fool and is deterfiined to force Dempsey’s hand, making him come out into the open and state once and for all whether or not he is going to meet the Negro. Mullins sees things below the sur- face that no one else sees, that is no outsider.. He is convinced more than ever now that one certain pro- moter is doing his utmost to throw Wills off the track and prevent the big black from meeting the cham- pion, or, as a Jast resort, to put the fight so far back that the public will tire of the eternal bickering and ceasevits clamor for the battle. Mullins has been offered many bat- tles with the Negro in the past and has not got over wondering why the promoters have been so eager to pit the Negro against a certain type of fighters. First, it was Firpo, a big, lumber- ing novice with a terrific punch and no boxing sense. Paddy figured that the game was to have Firpo erase Wills from the’ picture with one of his crude round-house swings, or to have him disqualified for il- legal tactics or better yet, to have Harry break “one of his fragile hands, 4 Mullins called the turn and permit- ted Wills to take on the big Argen- tine, outrough him, outpunish him, and in short, handle him like a was scored for his handling of this fight, but even so, Firpo did not figure in the bout at all. Then it was Bartley Madden. Harry was censuréd for not stowirg the Irish- man away by those who failed to remember that at the time the gov- ernor of New York was a good shot for the presidential nomination and that, with southern delegates pres- ent in New York, the spectacle of a black standing over the unconscious body of a white man would not have looked so good, This, it is whispered is the inside story of why Madden stayed along with Will JOHNSTON WIN WAS NOT FINAL More Matches With Richards Will Be Played. | | By LAWRENCE PERRY 4 1925, Casper Tribune) Aug. 14.—In justice > the tournament committee of the United States Lawn Tennis associa: tion, It should be said that the mateh which Bill Johnston and Vincent Richards played Saturday — and whieh Johnston won after a nip-and- tuck struggle—was not intended to be final in its bearing on the Davis cup team selection, Some criticism has been heard be- cause Johnston: was not selected for the singles on the basis of his Sat- urday victory, the general under. standing being the test aloné would be decisive, The fact is that neither Bill nor Vinnie wanted the decision to rest on the basis of one match and they both agreed Saturday that two or three matches should be played, The five-set match on Saturday proved nothing so far as the relative merits of the two were concerned. Victory for each hung on a hair, time after time, and when the com- mittee asked the two players to meet Wednesday, both agreed cheerfully.
