Of the 13 games won by Luque, seven came in a row. Only 23 runs Lave been made off Luque's delivery in his remarkable pitching perform- ance covering 20 games, in several of which he acted as relief pitcher. An additlonal proof of his effectiveness can be gleaned from the fact that he leads the Natlonal League in strike- outs. _“Bean Ball e i.si‘riBieing Revi;ié;l by Many Big Leaguers This Season In Each Circuit Players Are‘lH Complaining About This Dangerous Practice | Is the “bean ball” habit, When Ray Chapman was killed by deltvered by Carl 'lf‘r\llifl sensation coast will when he meets | Massachusetts singles ONCe K0 the semi-finals for the Longwood bowl in the 3ist renewal of the Longwood cricket club who on his first appearance on grass arvey Snodgrass Meets Tough Tennis Star Today | Boston, July 20.—Harvey Snudgm.és,“ from the ‘Pacific| be put to the test today| Nathanlel W.

SWORDSMEN WIN, London, July 20.—The American | GENERO PUTS GERSHANE -, AWAY IN THIRD ROUND Flyweight Champion, Conceding Bix Six Pounds, Outclasses Rival at Kingsboro 8, C. New York, July 20.~Frankie Genaro, the American flywelght champlon, knocked out Bobby Ger- shane in the third round of what was scheduled to be a fifteen-round bout at the Kingsborough Sporting club at Iast New York Oval. Gershane sub- gtituted for Carl Triano, who was un- able to go through with the match. Genaro weighed 112 pounds and con- ceded six pounds to his opponent. Although Gershane was willing, he never had a chance. He was out- boxed in the first round and Wwas dropped for the count of elght in the second with a right to the jaw., It looked as if Genaro might have fin- ished him in that round, but he per- mitted Gershane to hold ou until the bell. After forty-eight seconds of bat- tling in the third round, however, the champlon scored with a viclous left uppercut to the jaw and Gershane crumpled on the floor and was count- ed out. Gershane won as he pleased. About 4,000 person saw the bout. In the twelve-round semi-final Son- ny Smith, weighing 1173% pounds, earned the decision over Bllly Ryc- koff, welghing 122. Smith had the better of the boxing all the way. He floored Ryckoff with a right to the jaw and left to the stomach in the elghth round, but Ryckoff was up be- fore any count was attempted. FIGHT CRITICS WORRIED OVER BEN'S LEFT MALLET Fear That Leonard Can't Use South- paw as of Old—degr's Friends Are in High Glee. i New York, July 20.—Babe Ruth announced today that he would toss the gloves into the ring at the Yank stadium Monday for the lightweight crown battle between Benny Leonard and Lew Tendler. ‘While Benny and Lew were sliding off into light workouts and talking about how sure they were to win, filght experts began to flgure what would happen about the eighth round. It was at that stage of thelr battle last year in Jersey City that Lew came within an ace of the title by landing flush on the champlon's mouth with a powerful left hook and loosened three of the titular teeth. Something else happened at the same tlme and the challenger's fol- lowers were talking a lot today about how little It worrled them, Lew broke a small bone in his south mal- let and close observers sald he had favored it ever since. He put Bobby Barrett down and out with a right punch. Tendler insisted today that the ef- fects of the Injury had entirely worn away and sald that he would use his left hand and often, but he would not walit for the elght round. Just before the two get into action Monday, Jack Zivic will meet Johnny Darcy in a ten round affair. BIG FIELD IN TITLE SWIM. Philadelphia, July 20.—Nearly 40 distance swimmers, including Thomas Blake of Los Angeles, the title hold- er, are entered in the natlonal ten | mile swim Saturday in the Delaware river between this city and Rlverton, N. J. A formidable candidate will be James Hall of Brooklyn, who won the champlonship in 1921, but did not compete last year, GITLITZ OF YALE I3 CLEVER BOXER Gives Brilliant Exhibition at State Armory Bouts In the mess-kit benefit bouts at the State Armory last evening there was a good sized crowd on hand and some ° good exhibitions of the manly ' art were given, the star performer having been Gitlitz of Yale who showed fast footwork and clever boxing, while in,. one bout he put his man away with three socks on the jaw. In the first bout between B, Crow- ley of this city and Louritzen of Hart- ford, weighing 116 and 118 pounds respectively, Crowley proved himself the better fighter. He had the Hart- ford boy wobbly after the first round and in the last round had him groggy. Referee Willls gave Crowley the de- cision, Vbt In bout No. 2 between J. Turner of . New Haven, 128 pounds, and Zukow- ski of this city, 128 pounds, Turner was easlly the best man and had it all over the New Britain boy. Zukow: ski showed nothing but a willingness to mix it up, but Turner was a more clever boxer and blocked all his ef- forts while he socked the New Brit- ainite at will, having him bleeding. Turner got the decision. In the third bout between Hamilton of Bridgeport, 128 pounds and Gold- berg, New Haven, 128 pounds, Gold- berg got the deoision in four rounds. The two boys were very clever and at the end of the third round it was im- possible to pick a-winner so John or- dered them to go an extra inning. In: the fourth Goldberg showed his stuff and earned the decision. i Bout No. 4 presented Stanley Ry- den of this city, 168 pounds and Git- litz of Yale. Ryden was knocked down in the first minute of the first . round. He got up at nlne and was immediately floored for nine more ' strokes, On his second rising Gitlita measured him and socked him for the third count. The referee stopped the fight, giving Gitlitz a technical knock- out. The fifth and sixth bouts were both - oxhibition matches. " In the fifth the opponents, Rotteny of New Haven and McKeon, also of New Haven, The bout was evenly matched and neither: boy tried to put the other away. They gave & good exhibition . of boxing, Rottenny tried some of Johnny Dun- dee's stuff of bounding off the ropes with a wicked wallop, but the other boy was able to take care of him. - There was no decision. In the final bout Packey Tierney of New Haven mixed it up with Gitlitz, this being the Yale boy’s second ap- pearance the same evening. As this also was an exhibition bout, no de- cislon was given, Gitlitz showed a lot of clever footwork -and seemed to be easlly the master had it been a fight: for blood. The other scheduled bouts wers called off as all the contestants atd not appear. 3 Albany lost to ‘Bridgeport yesterday when Tillman was knocked out of the box. - The score was 11-6.

In both major leagues the players are complaining of the practice. Bat- | ters insist the home-run habit has caused many of the pitchers to re- sort to the bean ball, in an effort to prevent the batsmen from hugging the plate and assuming a stance that makes for long hitting. It is a despicable practice that has no place in baseball. : 3 H | YeSSIR GEorGE | CAN LEAVE MY House AT QUARTER.
