SCANDAL MARS SEASON OTHERWISE SUCCESSFUL Accusations Against Cobb Speaker and Wood Blow to S port—Hornsby s Trade to Giants Biggest in Histor; NE of the most successful and | ball | interesting vears base ever has known was smirched and blackened just before its close by an expose of gam- Bling by players which followed an investigation of a 1d stor: Judge Kenesaw . as commissioner of base ball. There is every indication that Judge Landi as a result of his probe, will take dras- tic steps to stamp out gambling or betting of any sort by players in or: ganized base ball. The men concerned in the alleged gambling incident were among the most prominent players in the game. They included Ty Cobb, one of the most famous players of all time and former manager of the Detroit team: Tris. Speaker, great center fielder and beitr and former manager at Cleve- land: Joe Wood. who had pitched for the Boston Americans, played outfield for Cleveland and in recent years has coached the Yale base ball team, and Hubert Leonard. a pitcher, better known as “Dutch,” who had been un- popular with fellow ball players. Charges Made by Leonard. Leonard held possession of two let: ters relating to the presumable laying of ‘bets, or attempts to lay them, by Cobb and Wood. Leonard also stated in his testimony to Judge Landis that Wood. Cobb, Speaket and himself had greed to wager on the game of Sep- lelwl 11919, betwsea ‘Detroit, and . . betting on Detrpit to wi s béen no proof’ that € ohb er, although a letter Leon- ived from him would indicate had considered the matter. e was nothing to show Speaker de a_wager, the evidence agadinst stly confined to Leon- statements. A letter sent -by contained check returning funds to Leonard. Col srted he had not bet and that he always played ball to win. ker protested his innocence. Landis in making public the said Leonard was afraid to come ast and face Cobb, Speaker and Wood. Leonard was said to have heen angered because of delay in settling a claim against the Detroit club. As all eoncerned had retired there was no action Commissioner Landis could take ex- cept to state that any future attempt on their part to play base ball would provoke action from his office. The alleged attempt to fix or throw a game had no motive except individual by a had won the pennant and Cleveland had cinched second place. Last-minute developments of the veflr also brought forth a trade of record size and importance between the St. Louis National League team and the New York Glants. Rogers Hornsby, captain, manager and_sec- ond hageman, was traded to New York for Frank Frisch, second baseman, and Jimmy Ring, a pitcher. Hornsby had asked St. Louis for a three-year | contract at $50,000 a year, although the club still held a contract calling yment of $30,000 for the season Sam Breadon, president of the St. Louis club, would not come to an agreement with Hornsby, declaring the club was unable to pay any such salary. [ornsby's playing in 1926 fell far below his standard, but he had such success with the feam as man- ager that he has a large following not | only in St. Louis but’in other cities of the National League circuit. The New York club had angled for the services of Hornsby for a long | time., Whether it will prove a valu- able deal depends on Hornsby's ability to show he still is as good a player as he has been in .the past. The St. Louis Chamber of Commerce asked Judge Landis to intervene, so that Hornsby might be kept in St. Louls, but the commissioner has no jurisdic- tion in the transfer of players be- tween clubs,-even though he again will rule base ball for seven years at the increased salary of $65,000 an- nually. Cards Were “Big Noise.” The “big noise” in the 1926 major league season was provided by the stanch-hearted St. Louis Cardinals, who bludgeoned their way to the top in a hotly contested race in their own league and then toppled those swat- ting goliaths, the New York Yankees, in the world series. St. Louis won this year its first Na- tional Leaghe pennant in the life of that ecity. Like Cincinnati in 1919, St. Louis -ajso won its first world serfes in the same year that it an- nexed its first major league pennant. There were other surprises in 1926. The Yankees, regarded as underdogs in the Spring, never were headed in the American League after May 1. The champion Pittsburgh _Pirates flopped inglorioysly. Rogers Hornsby lost his crown ‘as batting king while winning new laurels for St. Louis. Babe Ruth made another remarkable showing as a home-run clouter. The casualty list among managers gener- Epeculation, since Chicago at that time ally was. heavy. CARDS’ EDGE DUE TO TIGHTER DEFENSE _The 1926 world series was won by | fhe St. Louis National League club primarily becadse it was a better fielding team than the New York American League tedm. Grover Cleveland Alexander, vet- eran pitcher, played an important part in the series for St. Louis, pjtch- ing winning base ball in two games and assisting at the finish of the last and deciding game, which he entered in the seventh inning with the bases filled and two out. He struck out Lazzari, retiring the side, and in the next two innings only one batter reached first. .He was Ruth, who was purposely given a base on balls in the ninth inning, and was thrown out try- ing to steal second, the series ending on_that play. By far the best work.of the meries ¢ a player on the winning team was v, at shortstop. He s the best infielde. of all. In the game a sensational one-hand catch which he made when extended his full length in the air above the base line, saved a certain run. That run would have tied the score. Severeid batted the ball, which was one of the hardest hit of the series. Ruth’s Batting Sensational. The best outfield work was that of Ruth. In every way he played better base ball in the world series than he had played in any series in which he had participated. His fielding was fine, his throwing accurate and well judged,“and his batting was the sen- sation of the series. It well might be, considering that he made four home runs, and three of them in one game in_succession at St. Louis. These home runs always will be his- toric. The first was far into the deep corner” of the rightfield stand, the second over the stand into the street ON YANKS rdin dld not prevent the playing of the contest. One of the most extraordinary in- cidents of,the series was the pitching of part ofYone inning by Relnhart in St. Louis. He gave four bases on balls, agd was hit for a two-bagger to right field, and out of that resulted four carned rune, the first time in -any © aes of the character that four runs were made on four bases on balls and one hit, and probably the first time that anything of the kind had been done for many years in the major teague rpces.

Of those who held world titles at this time in 1925, only three now re- how long they will endure. Gate receipts far exceeded the sums accruing from the sport in any pre- vVious year, and an interesting and significant phase of the vear was the number of fight clubs throughout the country which not on but prospered as never before. The Dempsey-Tunney Fight. The culmination of the boxing boom came at Philadelphia in September, when in the Sesquicentennial stadium before a record-breaking throng of 132,000 spectators, Gene Tunney won the world heavyweight title from Jack Dempsey in a 10-round bout which went to a decision. The gate receipts amounted to $2, 100,000, a ‘testimonial to the high esteem as a knocker-out which Demp- sey enjoyed. Even though Dempsey did not live up to his reputation and Tunney took the bout on points, the majority of the spectators regarded the battle as satisfactory. Betters who had given odds on the champion grumbled, as men of their stripe always do, and stories to the effect that Tunney was “due” to win the battle have been arising ever since the fight. Dempsey Hopes for Comeback. Dempsey himself accepted the de- cision with good grace, and nefther by word nor deed has he ever ques- tioned the decision, or attempted to In this stand he has made a host of new friends, and when he enters the ring again—as he hopes to do with Tunney as an opponent— there is no doubt that he will attract another bumner crowd. (For it is commonly accepted that Dempsey still packs a wallop, one sufficient to put Gene to sleep if He can land it. A valuable impression was made on those who attended the Dempsey- Tunney fight as their first ring con- test.

The Title Holders Today. A brief recapitulation of the year of 1926 in the various weight divisions follows. Flyweights: Fidel La Barba still reigns as champion of the 112-pound- ers. La Barba has taken part in numerous no-decision” contests and has forced his opponents to come in over the flyweight limit. He s matched to fight Elky Clarke for the world’s champlonship in January. La Barba won his title from Frankie Genaro, the American title halder, in 10 rounds to a decision. Bantamweights: Charley Rosen- berg still is official chamnion. Another champion who has protected his title in no-decision bouts at catchweights. He was matched to meet Bud Taylor in Chicago. Theé fight was called off by the Illinois Boxing Commission, which prociaimed Taylor the cham: pion. Rosenberg is booked to fight Bushy Graham, who beat Chick Suggs for the right to be called the foremost contender for the title. Featherweights: - Louis Kid Kap- lan relinquished his title because he could no longer make the weight. Henny Bass, Chich Suggs, Honeyboy Finnegan, Red Chapman and Leo Kid Roy of Canada are picked to fight it out for the title. Finnegan beat | Suggs in a 10-rounder and is thought. to have eliminated the latter. There is no featherweight title, holder at present. Junior Lightweights: Tod Morgan still is champion and a fighting one. He scored a technical knockout over Mike Ballerino in the tenth round December 2, 1925. Morgan has dis- posed of Joe Glick, Carl Duane and Billy Wallace. Lightweights: Sammy Mandell won his crown at the price of $50,000, which he guaranteed to Rocky Kansas, who held the title by reason of his defeat of Jimmy Goodrich. Jimmy pre- viously had won his title in an elimi- nation tourney held under the orders of the New York Boxing Commission. Junior Welterweights: (Officially recognized by the National Bexing Association, which does not comprise all States where boxing is legal.) Pinky Mitchell of Milwaukee, winner of a popularity contest, was conceded the title. But Mushy Callahan of San Francisco won the title from Mitchell by a knockout. Welterweights: - Pete Latzo won the decision in a 10-round bout over Mickey Walker, thereby becoming champion. The next important event in this class was the technical kayo of Mickey Walker by Joe Dundee in eight rounds. Dundee furnished the surprise of the season -by being knocked out bv an unknown, Eddie (Kid) Roberts. { Middleweights: Tiger Flowers woft the title from Harry Greb on a de- cision. Later Greb tried to come back against the negro and failed. - Mickey Walker guaranteed the Tiger $65,000 to meet him. The fight was held in Chicago. Walker won a decision that did not meet with general approval. But He is none theé less the champion in this class. Light Heavyweights: Jack Delaney, a great champion, won the title from Paul Berlenbach. Delaney fought his way to the title by knockout victories Tiger Flowers und Mike McTigue. Heavyweights: Gene Tunney is the champion of the world by virtue of a 10-round decision victory over Jack Demps in Philadelphia. Jack Sharke, dispelled whatever claim Harry Wills had on the title by ad- ministering a technical knockout in Brook! Science in Boxing Grows. This wholesale toppling over of champions has one great significance— it means that the science of boxing is spreading, due to the superfor in telligence of boys who are entering the game, and that modern methods of training have supplanted those formerly in vogue. Today there are more contenders for the title in the various classes than ever before in with the possible exception the heavyweight. And in the country may dp to crowd the.ranks of those who are regarded as having at least a working chance for the crown. The ranks of pugilism lost a fine, likable young man, as well as a very | great fighter, in the death of Harry Greb, following a minor operation: Another good and promising boy was lost in the passing on of Sencio, the who died of injuries suf- fered in a battle with Bud Taylor. FOR WEST POINT FOUR One of the dependables of the West Point polo team this season has been Cadet_John L. Hines, jr., son of Ma. Gen. John L. Hines of Fort Myer, V: In the three games played so far the West Pointers he has scored eight goals. Cadet Hines, who plays No. 1 on the polo team, also has been a member of the track squad and has qualified as rifle marksman and an expert fleld artillery gunner. AMERICAN U.
