Speaking of Sports The national league race now has developed into as pretty a contest as any fan could desire, The Glants have a slight lead, but Cincy and Pittsburgh, tled for sec- ofid, are crowding them closely, The Pirates hopped into second place yesterday by taking two games from Boston, 5-2 and 10-3, At the same time Dazzy Vance hurled the Dodgers to another victory over Cincinnati—and with Luque on the mound for the Reds, too. The Yanks rallled late yesterday, but it was better late than never for Ward tripled with the bases filled in the eighth, and then Meusel's double sént in the tying run. Witt scored the winning run, They're afrald of Ruth, he was walked three times. Yesterday The Tygers trounced the White Sox 6-3 by ppunding Cvengros off the meund in the sixth, The Browns took the final game of the Indians® series in the 11th inning. Danforth’s sacrifice scored the win- ning run, Johnny Dundee is picked by *Igoe” famous New York sports expert, to win from Criqui tonight. He thinks Johnny will prove too fast and elu- sive for the Frenchman, The official receipts of the Leonard- Tendler fight are $452,648 pald by 58,522 fans. Leonard's declaration that he wants to flght Walker for the welterweight title doesn’t faze that gentleman at all. Bring him on, Mickey says—any- time and anywhere. So there's that. The Dragons vs. Berlln will be the City league baseball game at Walnut Hill park at 6:30 p, m,, today. Babe Ruth, who was passed three times in yesterday's game, is certainly a consistent hitter, vear in and year out, as a glance at some of his racords show. Since getting up with t big boys he has clouted 41 homers off Detroit pitchers; 32 off White Sox; 81 off St, Louis; 29 of Athletics; 28 off the Senators; 24 off the Indians; 23 off the Red Sox and a dozen off the Yanks. This is a grand total of 220, This season Bambino has been pass- ed 109 times. He is a great fielder and his run total exceeds that of any other player. It is strange however, but with all his homers this year he has not clouted one with the bags filled. He has, however, hit out six with two on. Slnce going up to the big leagues his lowest batting average was in 1916 when he hit for 272, His highest was in 1921 when he hit for 378. Thus far this year he has an average of 375. Albert Hermann, Colgate star, has been picked as the athlétic director at Suffield Prep school, The playgrounds of the city will have a fieldvday and track meet at Walnut Hill park next Wednesday af- ternoon. Manager Mullen of the St. Mary's team is anxious to get a game for this Sunday. The Besse-Leland nine will play the Federals of -Hartford at 3:15 o'clock Sunday afternoon at St, Mary's fleld. This will be the second match of the year, the first one, which was the first game of the season, was won by the Hartford boys. In preparation for this game, the| B-L nine will practice at the play- | ground this evening at 6:30 o’clock, The Corbin nine will Walnut Hill this evening. The moest expensive chair in the world belongs to the pope. It is of practice at solid silver, and cost $90,000, For a Cool Refreshing Drink— .

It was understood that the Demp- sey-Firpo articles were signed several days ago, but that Rickard had with- held announcement pending his ef- forts to fix other detalls. Faced with new difficulties, however, the nature of which he did not reveal, he decld- ed to make known the fact that no hitch existed so far as the fighters were concerned. The promoter em- phasized yesterday that he had ex- perienced no difficulty in coming to terms with Firpo or Kearns. What Rickard has guaranteed efther fighter was not disclosed, but when Firpo came back to the United States last March for a series of matches un- der. the promoter’s auspices, the first | of which was with Bill Brennan, it was sald the Argentine was promised $100,000 in the event he gained a title bout with Dempsey. The cham- plon’s end, it was figured, probably would be close to $500,000. Firpo left late today to fulfil several engagements in the Middle West. He has signed to appear either in exhibi- tions or no-decision matches at Grand Rapids, Mich., July 27; Omaha, Neb,, Aug. 3; St. Louls, Aug. 6; and In- dianapolis, Aug. 8. The latter date was closed today. He was not ac- companied by his trainer, Jimmy De- forest.

CHARTER OAK GARD OF RACES READY Combined Purses for Five Days Is $38,000 Hartford, July 26.—With eight late closing purses announced, five in the trotting division and three in the pac- ing, the complete program for the grand circuit races at Charter Oak park, Hartford, Labor Day week, has been arranged by the racing commit- tee of the Connecticut State fair. The combined purses for flve days of rae- ing total $38,000, with the historic Charter Oak $10,000 stake for 2:12 trotters scheduled to go on Thursday, September 6. The open classics added to com- plete the program, entries for which will close on Monday, August 20, are as follows: Trotting, 2:09, 2:11, 2:14, 2:17 and free-for-all for 3 year olds; pacing, 2:08, 2:06 and 2:1 There will be three races on each day's card, with probable.specials to be announc- ed before the meeting opens. The management, on account of the lib- eral purses, expects the largest entry list in years. Sensational speed may be expected from such stables as Cox Murphy, Ray, McDonald, Edman and the like. The closing up of the racing card of 1922 under the most adverse circumstances ‘‘boomed"” the courage of the association and checked up for Charter Oak. Drivers and owners are row aware of the fact that at Charter COak the matter of starting is entirely up to themselves, as wether conditions hold little terror for the management. “The Charter Oak” in 1922, was won by Peter the Brewer, who is go- ing a merry clip this season. Some great racing is in prospect on the whole schedule for lovers of the light harness sport. | mended | 501bs. | 60 Ibs. 70 1bs. less skidding and ALL FRANGE SHOWS GREAT EXCITEMENT (Continued from Preceding I'age) fight just as often as you find a good opponent,” Dundee Positive Johnny Dundee: “I will beat Cri. qui.
