National League bgse ball park. The judges disagreed and the decision was rendered by the referce. The bout was for the welterweight championship of Pennsylvania Barrett forced the fighting from the gtart. Tendler landed many punches, but they appeared to lack power and did not bother his rugged opponent In the clinches the Philadelphia southpaw hooked his left to the kid- neys offen, but Barrett usually was on the inside, and his arms broke t force of the blows. At close quar- ters Barrett drove terrific right-hand punches to the body, and several times he appeared to have Tendler in_distress. In the tenth round, however, Tend- ler came back strong, fighting off Barrett's vicious attacks and sending home several good punches. At the final bell he landed his hardest blow of. the fight, a righf hook to the head Both men displayed much science and neither was off his feet at any time. In the semi-finals Bobby Wolgast and Al Markie, both of Philadelphia, fought 10 fast rounds to a draw. Danny Kramer won the referee's decision over Alexander Hart in the first 10-round preliminary. In the second 10-round preliminary of Philadelphia won the decision over Spencer Gard- ner, New York. FIRPO IS ADMITTED IN U. S.

They arc scemingly | through with the race except paying toll to the schedule and fulfilling their engagements. Holke, first baseman of the Phila- delphia Nationals, tied a world record | in base ball in the first game of the | double header against Chicago on July 19, when he made seven assists. Two others in the National have had | that mark—Bransfield of Pittsburgh in 1904 and Luderus of Philadelphia | in 1918. Seven assists in one game | for a first baseman is unusual. The only American League first baseman | with seven to his credit is Stovall, | former St. Louis star.

This year, though, Jez has been mowing down all comers right con- sistently and after a wabbly first in- ning yesterday had the number of the opposition apparently as long as he cared to hold it. The White Sox got to Jez for a couple of wallops and a pass that filled the bases with one out in the | opening round, but he pulled out of the trouble in great style and during the ensuing six innings granted but two safeties. With his team so many Tuns to the good, he loafed a trifie after two were out in the eighth and prospects of a shutout victory went | blooie. Then Bib Falk's trip ssive singles by Willie K : Ray Barrett and John Grabowski produced a pair of alien tallies. But that was all Zach gave up. The Bucks put the game on ice in the initial round.

He singled, Leibold hit and Sam counted as Barrett fumbled Taylor's roller. Elsh's error, Ruel's hit and Harris' sacrifice fly let Judge reach home in the fifth. The Bucks rested for an inning, but resumed fun-making in the seventh. Then Bluege's one-base knock, Barrett's miscue on Matthews' tap and Peck's single after Harris' stroll boosted the home total to 18 tallies. The White Sox did the only scor- ing thereafter. GIANTS-CHISOX TOUR IS 0. KD BY LANDIS CHICAGO, July 22.—Pefmission tour Europe has been granted the New York Giants and Chicago White Sox by Commissioner K. M. Landis. The trip abroad by the two teams/| had been technically agreed upon some time ago, but consent of the base ball commissioner was held up pending a vote of the members of both leagues. This vote was unani- mously in favor of the proposed tour. Twelve major league clubs voted in favor of the proposed tour, while four clubs, two in each league, did not vote, according to Leslie O'Con- nor, secretary to Landis. Two of the four clubs that did not vote were the Giants and White Sox, said O'Connor. HOW GRIFFS ARE HITTING G. AB. H. SB.

He came in with his customary speed, but the ball fell at his feet and took a sharp bound to the left. 3 Elsh’s error in the third round was a wild return of Taylor's hit to right in an effort to head off Leibold at third base. Nemo slid into the bag, but when he saw the ball go to the Sox dugout, scrambled to his feet and got home just ahead of Barrett's throw. Nick Altrock was on the coaching lines for the first time in more than & week. He had an easy afternoon of it. Leibold, Taylor and Goslin had a great time at bat. Each. slapped three hits, one of Goose's ,being a triple. Taylor and Goslin got their blows the first three times they stepped to the plate. Judge was gullty of the only error charged against the Nationals. In the seventh with two gone he let Archdeacon’s roller go through for two bases. Much time was needed to retire the Bucks in three of the innings. Ten batters faced Lyons in the first, and in the second and third, eight each. At that, the game was but four min- utes past the two-hour mark. Toward the end of the game the speedof the Bucks _on the paths fell oft considerably.

The Detroiters trained their heavy under wraps. Hartnett hit his thir- artillery upon Hoyt and Bush, and found their range to the extent of 9 runs, while Whitehill held “mur- derers’ row™ to 7 markers. Bassler led the Tyger assauly with 5 singles in a like number of attempts. In losing a 16-to-2 decision to Wash- ington, Lyons of Chicago took more unishment than any pitcher has been orced to undergo in many moons. Al- though the Senators pounded the White Sox boxman for 18 safeties, Manager Evers compelled him to go the full route and take his medicine. While Kolp mesmerized Philadel- phia, St. Louis touched Heimach and Rommell sufficiently to register a 4-to-2 triumph. Bennett had to re- tire after being hit by a pitched ball in the fifth. The Browns' victory, coupled with the White Sox's loss, brought the two teams into a tie for fourth place, Boston resignedly accepted its ninth traight defeat as Cleveland, nosed ut a Z-to-1 victory in the last in- ning. The Giants continued prodigal of their once seemingly foolproof lead in the National League and reduced their margin over the Cubs to six games by dropping another to Cin- cinnati, while Chicago was downing Boston. McGraw's men surrendered by a score of § to 7, only after 11 grueling innings, during which 39 players were thrown into the fray by the two teams. Starting his first game for the Cubs, Milstead held the Braves to five hits and Chicago scored a 7-to-1 win BOB IS SAVED BY BELL IN BOUT AT WHEELING ‘WHEELING, W. Va, July 22.— Eddie Weygant, Newcastle, Pa, featherweight, knocked out Frankie Bob, Dayton, Ohio, in the closing seconds of a ten-round bout at Mar- tins Ferry, Ohio, last night, but Bob was saved by the bell.
