Speaking of Sports 34,600 pald admission yesterday to see the Giants and Pirates split on a double header. This was the.biggest crowd that ever saw a ball game in the Smoky City. Scott wéakened in the ninth when Pitts. scored 5 runs, winning 6-4, In the second Artie Nehf held the Pirates safe while the Glants mauled five twirlers, winning 17-2, Incidentally, Frisch got & bingles yesterday. Shriners’ Day in Boston was ocele- brated by the Indlans taking two from the Red Sox, 5-4 and 2-0. The Athletics also dropped two, the Browns taking them 5-2 and 4-2. Me- Manus made two of the four homers that won the first game. A ninth inning rally by Brooklyn defeated the Cards 6-5. Tom Grif- fith’s homer scored three. The Reds went back into second place when they took two games yes- terday. The White Sox couldn’t touch Jones yesterday and the Yanks triumphed. Ward got a homer and a triple. Kamm and Mostil also hit for the circuit. Johnson shut out ths Tygers 1-0 yesterday. Still some-say the old man {s about through. Rickard won't permit Firpo to @uck his bout with Dempsey, he says. Firpo he, doesn't intend to duek it, but just the same wishes it was put off a year. In that respect we can’t blame Luls Angel. He's using good judgment, but in this case hindsight does not seem to be better than foresight. Mike Gibbons, once the best of all middleweights, has quit the ring at the age of 36. Injured eyes, suffered as a result of glove lacing injuring the optic, is the reason. Shugrue of Waterbury and Pete Herman suffered similar injuries. Both were forced to quit the fistic game forever. Leonard has been offered $25,000 to box Zivic or Pyrel in Pittsburgh on Labor Day. And no decision either. Pretty soft for Benny. ‘What a merry little race Cy Wil- liams of the. Philadelphia Nationals and Herman (Babe) Ruth of the New York Americans are staging for the home run honors. Both #ve slug- ging outfielders of the type the fans love to see at the bat. Williams is tall and lean, deceiving In appearances when he is at the bat, and old in years. Cy was born December 21, 1888 and has been in major league ball 11 seasons. Ruth was born February 7, 1894 and has heen in professional ball since 1914. The Battering Bam- bino has youth and physique in his favor while/ Willlams has nothing but a keen batting eye. Said eye is seeing him through to a comfortable lead over the Gotham player. Even if Ruth does lose out as a home run hitter this year he has shown that he is an improved ball player. Ruth is working for New York and not for George Herman Ruth as hsa been his custom. He's up there at the bat to help the Yankees along and if a sacrifice is called for he does his level best to sacrifice. The Babe got “hep” to himself last year, im- medlately after the world series, and made some strict promises that he would get down to business. What is mere he has lived up to those state- ments to the letter, starting in early at the training camp. He may not hit the homers the fans want to see, he may not even attain a solitary bingle but he is in there working for his team. And that is the primary essen- tial to every good ball played. Then there is a favorite of all fans who have followed the game for the last 10 years, Tris Speaker, manager and center flelder of the Cleveland In- dlans. Speaker is a player who just naturally doesn’t seem to wear out. may have dimmed his eyes, slowed his_ legs and brought grey hairs to his head but he plays ball every day. He Unfriendly Fingers You don't like to shake hands now stands third among the \eudln- hitters of the American league and has always been a dangerous man at the bat. Speaker started out where a lot of other good baseball players did| in the Texas league. Houston bad him and Boston took him from the Texan club, After a season at Little Rock of the Southern League he went back to Boston, staying there until 1916 when Harry Frazee started breaking up the old Red Sox. Cleevland got him as manager and player and there in the Ohio city he has remained. To tell ‘what Speaker has done would take a book, a large one, He has never bat- ted below .300 in his major league career and without a doubt will con- tinue his brilllant batting mark this year. There are a lot of younger ball players than Speaker but there are none that can show the old master of center field how to hit, run and fleld No fighter in the welterweight class is more worthy of a chance at better things than Paul Doyle of Boston who is meeting Dave Shade, the sensation. al California boxer, tomorrow night at the New York Velodrome. This is the second meeting of the two and a good fight is in the prospect. Doyle lost the first time to Shade jn 10 rounds at Boston after a hard battle. He is im« proved so much that he is being con- sidered as in line for a crack at Mickey Walker's crown. Shade is wel- terweight champlon in New York state alone, and if Doyle defeats him he takes that honor. Doyle has de feated Pete Latzo, the Scranton weltes, Frankie Murphy and Cowboy Wil liams so he should be able to give Shade all he can take care of. Now that Benny Leonard has de- feated Lew Tendler, fight promotors are looking for another opponent for the lightweight champion. There is a rumor that Jack Zivic of Pittsburgh ‘will be the next and in briefly review- ing{ the record of the Smokey City youth there is no reagon why he shouldn’t be given a chance. His re- cent defeat of Charley White of Chi- cago forecasted brilllant things for Zivic. In-his last bout he defeated Johnny Darcey of Jersey City, a tough youngster for any battle to win over. Zivic is able to use both hands and is Jearning the tricks of the trade right. Though perhaps he needs more polish | B before he steps in front of Leonard it does no harm to mention his name as one of the possibilities of the fu- ture. They. are telling a little story about Luis Firpo now that is too good to keep. Jimmy De Forest, who is re- sponsible for the Argentinians success, was not invited to make the barn- storming trip with the heavywelght contender and neither was he invited to go to South America with his charge. Firpo sliggested a vacation for De Forest but didn't say “Jimmy, it's ‘on me.” Firpo has the reputation of being the “tightest”” fighter there is in regards to money and when he grabs the old American eagle he squeezes the life out of it. The bank-note is his Bible and how much a dollar is worth is about all he knows of the English language—as it is spoken in this country.
