Victory didn't come to the Na tionals before they made a gallant uphill fight. Al Crowder, their start ing pitcher, was wild and he virtually handed the Tygers three runs right off the reel. His lack of control helped them to another in the fifth frame. In the meanwhile the Na- tionals were having a tough time trying to get anywhere against Earl Whitshill. southpaw, Rut they plugged away earnestly and when the Tygers faltered afiell in the seventh put aeross three runs to knot the count. During this rally they ousted White- hill, but Crowder also was eliminated by a pinch hitter Fred Marberry finished for the Nationals and Rip Collins for the Tygers. Crowder's Wildness Costly. Crowder's wildness helped the Tvgers to a trio of tallies in the first frame. Blue. first to face the General, was franked to the initial sack. Manush popped to Myer. but Fother- il singled Blue to third and took second as Goslin heaved the sphere to the far corner. Wingo's single to center tallied Blue, and when Goslin threw to the plate to turn back Fothergill to third, Red raced to the middle station. Crowder then walked Gehringer, ecrowding the sacks. Warner also drew a free ticket to first and forced Fothergill over the counting block. Bucky Harris slipped and fell as he grabbed Tavener’s roller, so only ‘Tavener's retirement instead of an Inning-ending double play followed and Wingo got home. ‘The Natlonals got a run in the seo- ond session, but an error by Blue was needed to help them out. Myer doubled to the left-field corner as A starter. Moon Harris lofted to Manush in short center, but Bucky Harris rolled to Warner. Blue let the third sacker's throw get away and Myer counted, while Bucky made first safely. Bluege, though, drilled into a two-ply killing. Unsteadiness Again Factor. Crowder's wildness and his failure tn watch men on the bases resulted in a Tyger tally in the fifth. Wingo fanned, but Gehringer wsingled and Warner walked. The General Ilet these two take such long leads off their bases that they negotiated a dual theft easily, for Ruel had no time to start a throw. Then Tavener was passed, filling the cush- ions. Bassler sent a long fly to Goslin and Gehringer scored, but Warner, who tried to move to third after the catch, was run down for a double play. In the sixth the Nationals made no use of a couple of singles, but they stepped out in the seventh to dead- lock the game. Three National swats, somse woozy Tyger fielding and much managerial strategy figured in the run-making. Moon Harris began the rally with a walk. He was singled to third by Boss Bucky. Warner took Rluege's roller and threw to Geh- ringer, forcing out the National man- ager as Moon scored. Ruel, though, doubled over Wingo's head, putting Bluege on third Manager Harris then sent the right-hand swinging Peck”instead of the portside batting Crowder to the plate.

Harris met this move by substituting Judge for Peck. He also sent in Stewart to run for Ruel. Gehringer's Error Figures. Judge cracked a low liner to Geh- ringer. The latter, off balance, threw wildly past Tavener in an effort to double Stewart off the middle sack. The ball rolled to short left and Bluege counted, while Stuffy scram- bled back to safety at second. Mc- Neely poled a long single to left and Stewart got home with the tying marker. Collins then hit Rice on the foot. Wingo, though, ended the in- ning when he backed against the right field screen to spear Goslin’'s ter- rific drive. To get the big run of the day for the Natfonals, Rice opened the tenth with a two-bagger to left. Goslin tap- ped a sacrificlal bunt. Collins elected to try to get Rice sliding into third base, but the throw was too late. After Myer lofted to Fothergill in short left, Moon Harris sent a hot grounder to Collins. The pitcher turn en and heaved to Gehringer, evidently hoping to start a double play. but only Goslin was retired, for Gehringer was unable to_throw around the Goose to first and Rice got across with the de cisive tally. L;t_ Twirler To Join Nationals This Year ETROIT, September, 18.—It n due to report at St. Louis recruit battervmen joining ow seems that Irving Hadley, pitcher next week, will be the last of the the Nationals this scason. He will come to the Champions from the Birmingham club of the South- ern Association, where he was farmed early in the Spring. Hadley will raise to five the total of recruits with the Nationals. No_ word has been received from Joa Carroll, Little Rock pitcher, who was to have reported to Manager Stan Harris at Cleveland last week. Carroll refused to join the champs unless guaranteed fare for his return home at the end of the season. That was not done and Boss Bucky now ng much ahout the stub- born Traveler hurler. McNeely made a fine catch of Wingo's long drive in the third inning of the game vesterday. Farl had to run back to the scoreboard in left' center to drag down the sphere. After walking with two down in the third. Warner and Tavener got away with a nifty dual theft. Warner slid into third well ahead of Ruel's heave. When Gehringer and Warner mada their double theft in the fifth, Muddy made no throw at all. the few who braved the to attend the contest was George Marshall, Washington basket ball impresario. Marshal en- tertained a few friends at luncheon. Among the guests was Harry Heil: mann The rich food impared Harr's digestion, so Red Wingo plaved right fleld for the Tygers in the afternoon. Four Nationals put over an odd sided exciting double play in the fifth. With the bases filled, Rassler sent a lang fly to Goslin As Gehringer lied, Warner tried to make third, Bucky Harris took Goslin's re. turn and with Myer and Bluege aid ing the Tyger was run down. Wingo's catch of Goslin’s long drive in the seventh was a master- pieca. The Tyger right flelder had to reach across a 5-foot-high lumber pile along the wire screen to get his hands on the sphere and was far off balance en he bagged it. There were two cationals on when Red did this cir- cus stunt. Lefty Thomas, Bill Morrell or Frank Loftus was likely to be sent to the hil! for the Nationals this after- noon in the sixth game of the series here. Ty Cobb was expected to pick Gibeon as his ptcher. MONKEY EVENT LISTED.

One from the South—Robert Tyre Jones, Jr., with the prospect of setting a record that will stand for all time, defending the amateur championship he has held for two years, and the other a blonde, fighting son of the West—George von Elm, nicknamed “The Tiger” for his killer tactics.

J., September 18.—Jack Dempsey is confident that he will be on edge by Monday night. He will finish his training Monday afternoon, with only newspaper cor- respondents in attendance. Dempsey predicts Gene Tunney will be stretched on the canvas floor of the ring, a victim of a knockout, provided the challenger is willing to trade blow for blow. “It is up to Tunney to furnish h share of the battle,” Dempsey says. “I'll furnish mine. “If Tunney elects to fight a defen- sive contest with the intention of sticking the limit, the bout may nothing to rave about. It takes two to_make a fight.” Dempsey laughs off the prediction of Billy McCarney, a veteran of the prize fight industry, that Tunney will win. McCarney, who was connected with Dempsey's camp at the time he won the title, bases his bellef merely on & hunch that the champion's time has come for him to taste defeat. “Dempsey may appear to be the same,” McCarney says, “but after all. he has been idle for three years and has grown older and softer. Tunney, on the other hand, is a strong young fellow, fired with an ambition, where. as Dempsey is burdened with concern, “Tunney, the challenger, is striving for a title, while Dempsey the cham- pion, is worrying about keeping it. “A tremendous strain attaches to this alone. Besidés, he is giving at least a little worry to the injunction, attachment. etc., no matter if he does talk about them with a grin.” Frank Bagley of New York, an ex- perfenced handled of boxers, who is here, believes Dempsey can win .n three minutes if he wishes. STROUDSBURG, FPa., Septembee 18 (#).—Boxing is on Gene Tunney’'s program daily till he leaves for Phil- adelphia. George Ransberry, the giant chef, thinks the comtender is in perfect shape. ‘'He eats” was the observa- tion of the genius of the Tunney kitchen. F. J. Baer, an osteopath, has found Tunney’'s physical condition Wellnl‘lh perfect. TUNNEY HAS STURDY LEGS, SAYS LEONARD BY BENNY LEONARD. STROUDSBURG, Pa.. September 18.—Gene Tunney showed marked im- provement in his two-round workout with Jimmy Delaney vesterday. He and T went on tho road together in the morning. When starting on the road Gene doesn’t break into a run immediately, as Dempsey does. We walked for a couple of minutes before we broke into a jog trot. When we came to a steep hill Gene went right on up without slackening his pace. T dropped back about 6 feet, so as to watch his legs. They are firm and did not falter a bit. Tunney has a re- markable pair of legs. A little farther on Gene stopped and did a little shadow boxing, practicing a left jab and left hook. We went on again, and then Gene began to sprint. I estimated the dis- tance and timed him. He did what I belleve was 200 yards in 24 seconds. He shadow boxed some more while waliting for me to catch up. and used a right uppercut. This he let go very carefully, and with plenty of body behind and under it. There was noth- ing haphazard about it. Delaney is a clever fellow, but Tun- ney made him miss many left hooks. while he got over some pretty lefts and rights. HERRING BAY PROVES GOOD FISHING PLACE Herring Bay, just 35 miles from Washington, is being eagerly sought by anglers at this time because of the taylors, rock and trout that are being caught Owing to the muddy condition of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, bass anglers will have to postpone their activities for these gamesters.

A LONG about the time that Jack Kearns and I had our “split” he let the world know that I was pretty much of a boob. come to agree with him about that. but T think I was a boob for a whole lot different reason than Kearns thinks.

It's true that while Kearns managed me he did get bigger money than any other mana- ger ever ‘for a fighter. But it happens That we are living in a big money era and that Kearns was deal- ing with a man who pays big money. 1t there had been no Tex Rickard—or this was 10 or 15 years ago, who thinks that Kearns would have been able to put over deals that makes him 80 proud of himself that he's bruis- ing his own chest tossing bouquets at it. Kearns wants the world to believe that it was due to him that Rickard paid me such big money. That is only an effort on Kearns' part to steal credit that belongs _to Rick- ard. Everybody knows that back in 1906, while Kearns was giv- ing earnest imita- tions of a ham fighter, and there- fore was not around to do this hypnotizing of Rickard, Rickard hung out a $30,000 purse for theGans- Nelson fight. That was a record for lightweights. Rickard did it all by himself; he didn't need to have any Jack Kearns to “hypnotize” him. A few years later, although Kearns had nothing to do with it. Rickard hung up $121,000 for Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson to shoot at—another record. In 1916 Rickard pald out about $80.000 for an indoor fight be- tween Jess Willard and Frank Moran—without Kearns hypnotizing Rickard into that. And in 1919 Rick- ard paid Jess Willard £100,000 for mix- ing it with me in Toledo—the record sum paid out to any fighter up to that time. Rickard Did It All Kearns didn’t have anything to do with that, smart as he thinks he is in money matters. It was Rickard, all on his own. who paid the money. That was because Rickard, a keen judge of what the public wants or does not want in the way of fights, figured that he could pay that much money to Willard and get away with a_profit. If he hadn't felt that wa: Kearns could have talked himself into t out of Rickard's hands. a collapse without getting anywhere, Sure, Kearns got $300,000 for me in the Carpentier fight—because Rickard decided that he could pay me that much and still get away with a profit. On the other hamd, Francois Des- champs, who never wrote history about how great he is as a financier, got $250,000 for Georges Carpentier in the same fight. A great lad, that Kearns, who got $300,000 for a world champions and brags around the world about it, while a modest, unas- suming Frenchman got $250,000 for his challenger. Kearns Muffed $300,000. It was in that same fight that Rick- ard offered the “smart” Kearns a 37'% per cent cut. Kearns refused. He was 100 smart to get trapped up that way. He took $300,000 and thus passed up the 37'; per cent that ‘would have amounted to a mere $500,- 000. A “smart” fellow, this Kearns, and if you don't belleve it, ask him. He knows—and gladly will give you all the details. Kearns had it all figured out that when I took charge of my own affairs, or let some one else like Gene Normila handle the business details, that I'd get fleeced like a lamb. He tried to let everybody believe that I didn't know the difference between a dollar sign and a comma. Well, anyway, [ made this match with Rickard to fight Tunney and the way it looks now is that the lowest 1'll get out of it is about $600,000, and some mathema- ticians have it figured that Il grab off about $800,000. Some Dope in Figures. In my five fights under the “bril- liant” management of Kearns I ra- ceived about $1,185,000. He got half. My end, therefore, was less than $600,000. In my first fight under my own management 1'm rather sure of getting more than Kearns got for me in five fights, and he says he's so ter- ribly smart and that I'm a boob. I'll probably pick up more mone in any two days of my own trainin, camp stunts here than was paid into the gate in an entire training camp session while Kearns was handling me. And, on top of that, 1 guess I'll play to a gate merely at the training camp that will bring in more money than Kearns got for me for my cham- pionship fight against Billy Miske and about as much as he got for me alto- gether for my battles against Fulton, Morris, Pelkey, Levinsky, and about a dozen others, in my non-champion- ship da Yes, Kearns is right. 1 was a boob— and what a hoobh. «(®1026.)
