New York, Aug. 6.—Babe Ruth hit his twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh circuit baggers at the Yankees' ball park yester- day, bringing him within one home run of Cy Williams, the Phillies’ slugger who hits but his twenty-eighth homer in St. Louis Saturday. Ruth did not tantalize fans who implored him to do his best but in the first inning stepped up and cracked one into the leftfield stand. By way of variety the Babe slugged his next homer in the sixth, into the rightfield. During the rest of the grind Ruth was at bat four times and on each occasion, Kolp, pitching for the Browns, walked him., Aside from that, the Yanks won a 13 inning tussle by a score of 9 to 8. ‘With Ruth, Hoyt and Witt on, in the thirteenth, Bob Meusel took the bat and hammered a hit into leftfield, sending Hoyt home, | In Cincinnati, McQuillan pitched a| shut-out game for the Giants and| drove two runs in, practically play-| ing the game himself.

Dutch Henry, young Robing’ southpaw yielded the Windy City men the runs in the second in- ning. He was replaced by George Smith, but the harm was done and Smith’s good work in the remainder of the game failed to save the con- test. The Red 8ox beat the Tygers at Detroit by a score of 8 to 2 and the Braves defeated the Cardinals at St. Louis 4 to 0. The Senators won a close game from Cleveland at Wash- ington 6 to 5.

The Red Sox went after. the opposing pitcher in the very first in- ning when they coupled two passes, a hit batsman, an infield error, two hits and Preisser's clean steal of home for 5 runs. They also scored a brace in the next frame when Corbin walk- ed and scored on Snyder's triple, the latter scoring on Wojak's single. A fast double play nipped another onslaught in the third as Preisser and Clinton singled and Tommy Blanchard hit into the double, Murphy making a pretty play on a hard drive. The last run came in the seventh on Snyder's bunt, his stealing of second and Bar- nett's single. Taftville scored in the second on a fielder's choice, a pass and Al Blanch- ard’s error. They got three more in the third on singles by Jack Murphy, Jarvis and T. Dugas, a passed ball and Wojak's crazy toss, An error by Hu- ber paved the way for another tally and Tom Blanchard lost control for a few minutes and forced in a run, passing two men.

JACK RENAULY GIVES THE KAY0 T0 CUBAN CHAMPION Fierro Lasts Less Than Two Rounds Against Canadian Fighter lalocorcormuen 8.—Jack Re- cham- Havana, Cuba, Aug. nault, Canadian heavyweight pion, knocked out Antolin Fierro, champion of Cuba, in the second round of a 12-round match here yes- terday afternoon. From the first Renault proved him- self much the better and more scien- tific fighter. Except just once, when Fierro attempted pushing tactics for a few seconds in the round, Renault had things all his own way. In the second Renault punished Fierro badly, and with a clean upper- cut sent the Cuban champion to the floor for the count of nine. A moment later he repeated, for another count of nine, and when Fierro regained his feet Renault sent him crashing down for the full count. Renault weighed 195, Fierro, 218. Says Firpo Can Hit Harder Than Any Other Man Denver, Colo., Aug. 6.—E. W. Dickerson, referee of the Firpo- 8mith bout in Omaha, said here yes- terday: *“I do not believe the ring has ever known a man who hits hkarder than FKirpo does with his right hand, and it is not a looping swing, but a straight punch that does not travel more than 18 inches. Neither John L. Sullivan, Bob Fitz- simmons, cepted in that statement. Firpo's chances against Dempsey lie between his ability to assimilate punishment without visible effect and his great punching power.” INTEREST IN KAPLAN BOUT. Meriden Boxer's Future Hinges on His Showing Against Noble. New York, Aug. 6.—The Bernstein- | Moran bout at the Velodrome Wed- | nesday night will not be the only one jon the card of interest to the fans. [Kid Kaplan of Meriden, will box | Tommy Noble, featherweight cham- pion of England, in a ten-round con- |test ana on Kaplan's showing de- | pends his chance of a future title { bout with Bernstein. In the other preliminariés Danny Edwards, crack colored bantam- | weight, will meet Frankie Jerome of | the Bronx and 8id Terris will trade | blows with Tony Palmer. The opener will be a four-round clash between | Corporal Schwartz and Bobby Rut- | tenbere. Ever since Kaplan held Babe Her- man even many fans in New York | have looked upon the Connecticut | boxer as one of the most likely con- tenders for the junior lightweight title and the outcome of his bout with Noble will be watched with terest.

Trouble with his eyes forced Johnny to the side lines some months ago and for a while it was feared that he would have to terminate a ring career of real promise. Expert care, however, has rid him of his trouble and when he goes into action on the thir- teenth” he will be fit and ready to take up his career just where he left it off. Shugrue's fight with Brown is considered just a “starter” in Water- bury. At the height of his career the Brass City battle scored notable victories over Johnny Dundee and Willle Jackson and he intends to get back into that division just as soon as he works off a little weight and sharpens upon his boxing. Incidentally the Waterbury boy thinks that he can take the measure of “Kid” Kaplan, his old-time rival from Meriden, and another Shugrue-Kaplan match is a possibility beforz snow flies, PIRATES DEFEATED Lenox A.

Philadelphia, Aug. 6.—William T. Tilden, Jr.,, and Vincent Richards, na- tional doubles tennis champions for the last two years, will not defend their title at ‘the doubles champion- ship this year, it became known to- day. Instead Tilden will pair with Alexander “Sandy” Weiner, his youth- ful protege and has already sent their entry to the Longwood club of Bos- ton where the national doubles title play will begin August 20. The champion’s decision is under- stood to have come as a great surprise to the Davis cup committee which had considered Tilden and Richards as one of the leading teams for this year's competition. “For sometime I have understood that Richards would like to play with Francis T. Hunter,” Tilden said. *“I sent him word to this effect and told him that such an arrangement would be perfectly satisfactory to me, as I | would like to play with Weiner.” |World’s Record Is Made | By Fleet Footed Joie | Newark, N. J., Aug. 6.—Joie Ray of | Chicago, star runner for the Illinols A.

Ray | defeated Lester Austen, Newark A. C. and James Connolly, Georgetown. Connolly held the old mark of 2.43 3-5 which he made early this year. ) ALL-INSURANCE 1§ POOR PLAYING TEAM Misplays and Lack of Control Gives Opponents Several Runs The B-L nine had an easy time at St. Mary's yesterday, winning from the much advertised All-Insurance team of Hartford 18 to 2. The locals hit the ball all over the lot, collect- ing 22 bingles. In the fourth, the Hartford team lost its enthuslasm and from then on the game was a flivver, Although Wild, Reeves pitched well for the locals and also flelded well. Landry likewise did well in the fleld. 8. Dudack led the batters with four hits in five times up, getting two dou- bles included. Green got four hits in flve trips, one of them a double, Schade got three hits in four trips. The locals played errorless ball while Thorsell was the only visitor who showed any form.

Lehigh University fias All Year Athletic Plan Bethlehem, Pa., Aug. 6.—Football and other athleite practice throughout the year is part of a proposal submit- ted today by D. N. Pelty, chairman of the alumni committee on athletics at Lehigh University. It is suggested that the hours of physical exercise required for all able-bodied students be devot- ed to instruction in the rudiments of the particular sport for which they are physically and mentally adapted. It would continue all the year around rather than merely during the season of that sport. Under the plan small groups of stu- dents would be instructed in various games at regular periods so that the gymnasium and athletic fields would {be in use nearly every hour of the day. .
