For the championship contests back tn 1924 and 1925 the 15 rows of extra seats placed in front of the open stands in left and center fields accommodated some 4.000 spectators, which made possible the throngs of approximately 37.000 that saw the Nationals baftle against the Giants and the Pirates for base ball's big- best prize. Big League BASE BALL ‘Avoiding Split Thumbs’ BY AL DEMAREE (Former Pitcher, New York Giants). While a catcher occupies the most important position on a ball club with the possible exception of the pitcher, he also is in the most dan- gerous ‘position. Even the cleverest and most care- ful catcher is bound to get his share of bruises and jammed knuckles and split fingers and thumbs from foul tips and spike wounds from base runners whom he blocks at the plate. But these injuries can be re- duced to a minimum. The commonest and most painful of injuries to catchers are split thumbs and fingers resulting from unruly foul tips. And these injuries are serious, for they require stitches and the team loses the player's serv- ices from two weeks to a month, WRONG WAY RIGHT WAY BY KeEPING THUMB DOWN AND FINGERS CLOSE TOGETHER You PREVENT INJURY FrRoM FouLTiPs CORBETT RING KINC, WITHOUT A CROWN Whips Two Welter Champs Within Five Months at Catchweights. | By the Associnted Press. AN FRANCISCO, July 5.—Con- queror of two champions and general disturber of the peace within the welterweight ranks, | young Corbett, smiling Fresno lad, to- day possessed one of the remarkable | records of pugilistic history—s king | without & throne. Corbett climaxed a brilliant career | yesterday by soundly thrashing the | present champion, young Jack Thomp- | son, Oakland Negro, in & 10-round non- | title bout here before & wildly cheer- | ing holiday crowd that accounted for a gate around $33,000. Less than five months ago in San | Francisco, the stocky Fresno southpaw | won “a 10-round decision over Jack | Fields, then ruler of the 147-pound | ranks. It too, was an over-the-weight | match, so the 24-year-old Italian has | | achieved the amazing feat of whipping | two title holders within half a yea without having a championship to show | for it. | Champ Almost Kayoes. | _Whereas his fight with Fields was close, he won as he pleased from | Thompson. Starting from the opening | round, he gave the Negro an artistic | beating throughout most of the bout. | In the ninth, he draped the dusky title | holder on the canvas for a nine count and battered him about the ring ia the closing session. The gong possibly saved Thompson from a knockout in the fateful round in which he went down from a left to the body. Groggy but, game, he got up and fell into a clinch. Corbett strove desperately to put over a finishing blow, but the gong cut his efforts short. Corbett won the first four rounds hands down, the Negro being noticeably | bewildered 'by his opponent’s left- | handed style. The champion’s best | showing was in the fitth when he found | the range and scored several times with | rights to the jaw, and he also landed | the harder punches in the eighth, | although his edge was slight. The | sixth session appeared fairly even. | Corbett weighed 148!, and Thomp- son 145 pounds. MIDGET AND INSECT NINES FORM LOOPS ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 5.—Director J. F.

Always hold your thumb down and your fingers cupped close to- gether. This will keep you from a painful and expensive injury and a bad-looking hand. Practice catching the ball with the glove first and then cupping the hand over it instead of using both hands simultaneously. It will keep you from having a hand like Jimmy Archer.

And when he hits the ball it’s usually in for a long ride. Last year Casassa, playing his first year in the senior class, socked the ball for 12 four-base wallops in 18 games and bids fair to equal at least this un- usual sandiot record this season. Thus far he has four homers to his credit in seven games, and they have proved timely, too! That Olmsted is now at the top of Section B, is due to this penchant for | Ruthian Socks on Charlie’s part.

FULLERTON, Jr. Aseociated Fress Sporte Writer, 'HE traditional mid-season date for determining pen- nant winners—July 4—is i past, with the Philadelphia Athletics and Brooklyn Robins at the top of the American and Na- tional League standings, but their margins of leadership are so slim that the tradition must be dis- counted considerably if it is not to be tossed into the discard. Brooklyn's margin daily grows slim~ mer as the Robins and the Chicago Cubs add more games to thelr totals without advantage to either, while the Athletics’ lead was cut to almost nothing yesterday when they split a double-head- er with the Boston Red Sox, while Washington registered the day's most important gain by taking two games from the New York Yankees. As Sad Sam Jones and Fred Mar~ berry hurled a pair éf fine games to defeat the Yankees 8 to 0 and 7 to 3, | Washington moved up in the standing ito & place just one game and one per+ | centage point behind the leaders, while | New York dropped to 3!, games back |of the Senators. The odd combination of games and percentages, closely re- sembling that in the National e standing, is due to the fact that Phil- |adelphia has played and lost more | games, | A's Batters Stopped. The Athletics got only 10 hits off Boston's pitchers in their two games, but Ed Rommel held the Red Sox in the second to win, 4 to 2, where four Philadelphia mound aces had failed to keep the Sox from gaining a 7-6 vic- tory in the opener. ki Brooklyn's margin in the National League was cut to the small fraction of two-tenths of a percentage point ‘lnd As games are counted, the Robins |remained a half contest behind, while | both leading contenders divided their (twin bills. The Robins dropped a 5-& | decision to the New York Giants in the morning, when Hughey Critz connected with one of Vance's tosses in the elev~ enth inning to drive in the deciding run. But they came back in the after- noon to gain & 5-to-2 victory behind | Bill Clark’s effective pitching. The Cubs reversed the process, bat- tering out a 10-to-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates before lunch, but failing to hit Kremer in the afternoon | and losing, 5 to 1, Tigers Take Two, The St. Louis Cardinals brought about further complications in the standing of the elder league by taking two games from Cincinnati while Bos- ton and Philadelphia were breaking | even. The Cards, pounding the Redleg hurlers to the tune of 15 to 4 and 6 to 2, placed themselves cn'ly a ho'f yauie behind the third-pl>ce Ciants, while Cincinnati droppcd nto another of those disputable positions, a half game behind the Phillies and & fraction of a * | percentage point ahead of them.

The Tigers required 10 innings to down Cleveland, 5 to 4, then went 12 frames (o gain a 4-to-3 de= cision in the second game. The princi~ pal achievement of the Chicago White Sox was that of making six errors in one game and winning it. The mis- plays came in their second contest when Al Thomas held the St. Louis Browns to four hits for a 6-to-4 victory after St. Louis had pounded out 15 blows and an 11-to-3 triumph in the opener.

They hopped on Pipgras for five hits and a pass in the third and with an error by Dickey at the plate rang up five runs before the Yankee starter gave way to Carroll with two out. Three hits, a pass and an- °r error by Dickey, all after two out, were good for two more mark- ers in the fourth and a brace of singles, a hit batter and a fielder’s choice meant the last tally in the seventh. Heinie Manush with two doubles and as many singles was the big gun of the first game offensive, but when he slid into third base in the eighth in- ning Heinie bruised his right heel and had two gashes accidentally put in hic right calf by Chapman’s sptkcs.
