It's some tough job, believe me, to get off the bench cold and step into the breach, realizing that much depends on Yeur ability to come through with a base hit. “Don’'t overlook the fact that the good pinch hitter is invariably called upon in the crisis only. He is saved for the big moment where often a base hit means the old ball game. The pinch hitter is always up in the crisis. “The toughest thing in the world is to make a base hit under pres- sure. At such spots the pitcher fis giving you everything in his assort- ment. The pinch hitter is always looking at what the opposing pitcher has in feserve, just a wee bit more speed or a trifle faster breaking curve, “Never until my recent injury did I realize what a job the pinch hitter really has. When recovering from my injured leg I several times went to bat in a pinch and, believe me, the feeling is much different than be- ing in there regularly.” Most ball players will say “Amen” to Hornsby's expression relative to the pinch hitting job, yet there are players who seem to thrive on it. At present Elmer Smith of the New York Yankees by his timely hit- ting has just about won the title of “King of the Pinch Hitters.” JOE LYNCH LOSES HIS LAURELS IN NEW YORK Joe Burman of Chicago Is Made Champion By New York Commission, New York, July 18.—Following its policy of holding ring champions to the letter of the New York boxing laws, the state athletic commission yesterday dethroned Joe Lynch of New York as bantamweight title- holder, for failure to accept within six months the challenge of Joe Bur- man, of Chicago.,k Simultaneously, Burman was elevated to recognition as 116-pound champion in this state. The decision came on the heels of amnouncement that Lynch and Bur- man had been matched tentatively for a title bout in Madison Square Gar- den in September. Eddie Mead, Lyneh’'s manager, also was placed un- der official ban. Lynch was the second champion within a few weeks to be deprived of title recognition here. Mickey Walker of Elizabeth, N. J,, the welterweight titieholder, was ousted recently for failure to accept a challenge from Dave Shade of California, who was awarded championship recognition as a solace for failure to obtain his title match. . An echo of Walker's was the indefinite suspension of Nate Siegel, for boxing Walker Monday night at Newark, N, J., while the lat- ter was under official ban. Stegel was knocked out by Walker. The commission puts its stamp of approval upon the world’s middle- weight title match scheduled at the Polo Grounds, Aug. 31, between John- ny Wilson of Boston, the champion, and Harry Greb of Pltlshul’gh, This was brought about by Wilson's for- mal acceptance of the former light disbarment | HITTERHAS |CINCY’S SPURT IS FEATURE IN NATIONAL LEAGUE RACE Not many managers have been able to rebuild a pennant machine that has colla}sser} during the short period of four years. The Detroit Tigers have never been able to return since their triumphant days of 1907-1908-1909. The Chicago White Sox have dropped batk since the scandal that stripped them of Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, Buck Weaver, Claude Wil- liams, Chic Gandil, Swede Risberg, Happy Felsch and Fred McMullin. The Pittsburgh Pirates have won but one pennant since 1903. The Cubs have won only one since the days of Frank Chance's great ma- chine. And so it goes up to the pres- ent hour with Patrick Moran whip- ping the Cincinnati Reds back on the pennant-winning track. Moran put over two master strokes, giving the Philadelphia Nationals and the Cincinnati Reds their first pén- nant: Like other managers he saw his 1919 Reds fade and disappedr. While the 1823 Giants have not been beaten as yet, the Reds have been accepted as the most dangerous opponent fn the flock of opponents tralling McGraw's champions, along with the Pittsburgh team. Theyt> Sure Going. The spurt of the Reds really is the feature of the X .tional League race. During the closing days of May the anvil chorus in Cincinnati shouted for Moran's scalp. His previous suc- cess ha® been forgotten entirely. Returning home from the eastern. journey, the Reds were in seventh place——just a few steps in front of the misfit Phillies. Appar- first ently the Reds were bound for the | cellar and it was freely predicted that before July 4 arrived Jacob Daubert would be elevated to the managerial seat. Moran attended to his own knit- ting, never saying a word. The first thing the critics knew the Reds were on a winning streak. Lap by lap was covered, The Reds were sixth. They were fifth.

HARMONY 15 THE KEYAOTE “To THEIR SUCCESS were in the first division and finally admitted to the field as a pennant possibility. During a period of three weeks the Reds had reduced the handicap be- tween themselves and the Giants from 13 full games to four full games. No Outstanding Stars There is nothing particularly spec- tacular or sensational about the Reds, just a collection® of athletes playing together, featuring with team play, harmony and intelligent baseball. Which after all succeeds more than home-run kings. Only Jake Daubert, Eddie Roush, Patrick Duncan, Ivey Wingo and Adolfo Luque remain from the 1919 champions. Sammy Bohne has succeeded Mor- ris Rath, Caveney sits in at short in- stead of J.arry Kopf, Babe Pinelli is wearing Heine Groh's shoes, Har- grave has succeeded Catcher Bill Rariden, Burns is in right in place of Greasy Neale, while Pete Donohue, Rube Benton, Eppa Rixey, Frank Keck and Johnny Couch pitch in- stead of Hod Eller, Ray Fisher, Harry Sallee, Jimmy Ring and Wal- ter Ruether. Having gained nine full games in three weeks the Reds, feel that they can make up the necessary distance to the top between now and October. New World Mark Is Made At Northampton Races Norhampton, July 18.—Iva Loo and Col. Bidwell resumed their battle for supremacy in the 2:09 pacing class at the opening of the four-day Bay State circuit meeting here yesterday after- noon, Col. Bidwell getting the decision in straight heats. Iva l.oo was not up to scratch and Gam, Fred Pickle's big chestnut, raced to second place in each heat. A new world record was made in the two-year-old division when Commodore Wilson, driven by Aubrey 8. Rodney, trotted the second mile in 2:14%, the fastest second heat ever trotted by two-year-olds in a race over a half mile track.

The Corbin Red Sox are looking for two victories this week, one of which they may get on Sunday against the Simabury Indlans without great trouble. But they will have to ex- tend themselves on Saturday to beat the Norwich State hospital team “at Norwich, The Norwich nine already has taken the Corbins into camp once this season and with the brilliant Wesso- locki again twirling, Corbin will haveé to show everything they have to nose out a vietory. Manager Tobin realizes he has a tough game ahead and has nothing but praise for Wessolocki who he de- scribes as “the finest pitcher in the state, barring none.” Theré is great interest in this game in Norwich and for the first time in the history of the state hospital there an admission fee is to be charged to the game. « It is likely that Berg will toss them up for New Britaln. On Sunday “Slim” Politis is booked to pitch for Corbin. The Corbin nine practices tomorrow night at the park on diamond No. 2. POP GEERS TRIES BUT IS BEHIND SINGLE 6'S MARK Veteran Reinsman Honored at Kala- mazoo Track, Goes Mile in 2:0134 With Sanardo. Kalamazoo, Mich., July 18.-—Races for three-year- old and two-year-old colts held the interest of horsemen at yesterday's Grand Circuit meeting. Ethelinda, a Peter The Great colt, driven by Walter Cox, won the three- year-old event in straight heats. Tall- man's Hollyrood Leonard and Ilo Guy, the second Cox entry in this event, furnished most of the opposi- tion, The two-year-old trot was won by Mr. McElwain, driven by Ben White. He stepped the two miles in 2:09% each, good time for the event. It was “Pop” Geers Day at the track and there was a large crowd out to see the veteran driver attempt to lower the local track record of 2:00 méde by Single G in 1914, Geers drove his pacer, Sanardo, but the best he could do was 2:01%. Rosco Put- nam of Duvidson, Mich., piloted Glenn P. to victory in the 2:18 -pace. The 2:09 pace resulted in a victory for Radio over a small field.

The game was played at Hanover Park, Meriden, and decided the cham- plonship of the Vocational Schoel league of Connecticut. By winning this game the locals won thé title and aiso a beautiful loving cup which will adorn the new building on South Main street. For the first time in the school's history the traders went through the leagiue season without a defeat—a record of which any team might well be proud. The game was one of the most exciting ever staged at Hanover park and was in doubt until the last Bridgéport man was re- tired. Bridgeport won the toss and chose the field. E. Anderson rolled to the shortstop dnd then Fusari secured the first hit of the game down the third base line. Herold then hit into a dou- ble play. In its half Bridgeport sent two runs across the pan on a base on balls, fielder's choice and a single. These two runs looked big until the fifth when the locals pushed three runs across the platter via a walk, two singles and a triple. Bridgeport came back strong in its half, however, and added six runs to its total. In this rampage were three hits, two er- rors and a hit batsman. Both teams went out in order in the sixth but the locals were not to be denied and In the seventh pounded the ball to all corners of the lot. Gibson went aeroplaning at this time and issued three walks and al- lowed three hits. When the dust had settled the Hardware City boys had crossed the plate for five tallies and the score was tied in a knot at eight all.
