In 1912, as a member of the Boston Red Sox, Speaker made 53 two-base hits, falling just three doubles shy of the Delehanty mark. This year is looks very much as if Speaker would break the mark set by the famous slugger of other days. Having already passed the 40 mark and with about 50 games still to go it seems Speaker is certain to turn the trick unless he experiences a terrific slump. Speaker's batting this year has been phenomenal when it is considered that he got away to a very bad start, for weeks being under the .300 mark. In addition, he has the woes of manager to divert his attention. YANKS LOSE TO REDS, 4-2. Cincinnati, Aug. 14.—George Her- man Ruth failed to hit any homers yesterday afternoon and the Yankees were beaten, 4 to 2, in an exhibition game with the Cincinnati Reds. The Babe made one hit-—a single to center ——in two official times at bat and was given two passes. George Pippgras, a recruit right- hander,. pitched the entire game for the Yanks and kept the Reds away from the plate in eight of the hine in- nings. In the third, however, Sam- my Bohne tripled with the bases filled and subsequently scored himself on an infield out. Jumping Joe Dugan scored both of the Yankees' two runs. He made the circuit in the first in- ning on a single te left, a pass to Ruth, an infield out an an infield er- ror. He scored again in the sixth on an infield error, Ruddy's single to center and a force out at second. The score by innings: Cincinnati N.

ATTACK ON REFEREE IN ELH CITY BOUT Brother of Chic Brown Angered by McAuliffe’s Decision New Haven, Aug. 14, — Angelo Amato, brother of Chic Brown of this lcity again fought another of his memorable battles without the sanc- tion of the state fight commission last night when he cut loose and landed a few of his blows on Young McAuliffe of Bridgeport at the end of the Chic Brown-Johnny Shugrue bout at the Weiss Park A, C. outdoor park. McAuliffe refereed the prinoi- pal fight and awarded the decision to Shugrue. Amato angry at McAuliffe Jumped on the side of the ring and started in anothér battle. ‘The ret- eree promptly knocked Amato off the staging and the police gave him the “1ash” to the gate. Amato is the # me one who jumped into the ring suring the initial battle between young Leonard of Wallingford and Chic at Nutmeg A. C. opening this summer, Discussing the fight, the one that was advertised, Shugrue won from the second to the fifth. The fifth, sixth and seventh were even and Brown won the eighth, ninth and tenth. Shugrue finished strong with the eleventh and twelfth greatly to his favor. After getting acquainted in the fir6t round Brown and Shugrue went after each other in proper style but the Waterbury boy beat the Elm city lad to the punch. The fourth round was a repitition but in the fiftth Brown was missing several times. In the sixth Shugrue went to one knee but was up in a flash before the count could be given. In the ninth there was more ac- tion. Brown landed one of his fam- ous wild swings and Shugrue swdden- ly sat down. Brown got this round. In the tenth Brown had Shugrue bleeding and was a winner “by a mile.,”” The last two rounds were Shu- grue's rounds without a doubt and the Waterbury boy was “all over” his opponent. In the last round Brown altempted to take the aggressive side but failed when Shurgue beat him to it and hammered him unmercifully. Gives Marcel The Wave Tracel Ferguson of Wallingford meeting Young Marcel of Holyoke in the semi-final bout, an affair of 10 rounds, knocked his man out in the fourth. What Kerguson didn't do to Marcel isn't history for the Wallingford puncher showed a lot and looked good to the fans in his engagement. [erguson's blow landed under the heart a few seconds before the bejl rang. Marcel went down with a dull and sickening thud and kad to be carried to his corner. The referee seeing Marcel’s condition, awarded the decision to Ferguson. Willie Shugrue Wins Decision Willie Shugrue 'of Waterbury Johnny's brother, met Steve Smith of Bridgeport in the first preliminary bout of six rounds. There was more or less of a diversion of opinion over the decision in this bout and when Shugrue was announced as the winner fans showed their displeasure by talking out ‘loud. There was plenty of action and Smith provided so much trouble for Shugrue that his .ad- herents were disappointed and dis- pleased over the decision, Vaudeville de Luxe Dave Medar of New York won from Kid Palmer of Derby by a laugh, in the second preliminary bout. There was comedy for all in this bout and as Palmer was apparently not in the best of condition, Medar had what little work there was to do. There were 2,500 paid admission at the park. | i Boston .... | Chicago . How They Line up in Four Leagues NATIONAL LEAGUE Yesterday's Results Pittsburgh 5, Brooklyn 2. (No others scheduled).

J, in the second round of a scheduled eight round bout. The second round was less than a minute old when Firpo, his eyes blazing and his jaw clinched, drove Weinert against thé ropés near his own corner, and with a savage right to the chin sent him down for the count of eight. Weinert crawled to his feét, but it was apparent to all that the fight was over. Firpo clubbed him with the right and again Weinert went down, this time squarely on his back. Firpo looked back to his cérner as if for in- structions and his seconds pointed to ‘Weinert, who was dazedly pulling himsgelf up to an upright position. Fitpo turned back to his task and drove a hard right on the back of the Newark boxer's head. Weinert went down between thé Argentine boxer's legs, but in a desperate effort to save himself from the certain knockout he again struggled to his feet.- Then Firpo sent him crashing down for the fourth and last time with that flailing powerful right which has taken deadly toll of so many of his op- ponents. Weinert caught this one on the cheek, but in his condition it was enough to fell him, and before Referee Pop O'Brien could count him out his seconds had rushed into the ring and dragged him into a corner. By defeating Weinert decisively Firpo preserved his reputation as a “wild-hitting, slugging boxer,” who is dangerous to his opponents through the shéer power of his plows than science or knowledge of the ring. irpo also saved the proposed cham- pionship bout with Jack Dempsey at the Polo Grounds on Sept. 14 and set thé minds of Tex Rickard and others interested in that contest at rest. More than 25,000 persons saw Firpo stop Weinert and thé big crowd cheer- ed and hissed the finish. In the first round Weinert rush Firpo and had him backing the ropes. About midway of the round Weinert caught Firpo squarely on the jaw with a smashing right and Firpo apparently saw red, for he charged at Weinert like a mad bull and roughed him around-the ring for the remainder of the round. Nor did the Argéntine boxer's anger die between the two rounds. When the bell rang for the second he went rush- ing out of his corner and pounded Weinert savagely until the knockout. On form, Weinert looked to be the better boxer, but form does not count much aaginst a punch like that car- ried by the Wild Bull of the Pampas. Weinert seemed to be able to land on Firpo at will in the first part of the opeéning session, particularly with his left, but as the South American's anger flamed science went into the discard. The weights were announced as fol- lows: Firpo, 212; Weinert, 188. Wein- ert's seconds were Slim Brennan and Babe Cullman. In Firpo's corner were Hughie Garland, W. Widemer and Scotty Montieth. Firpo, contender for Jack Demp- sey's heavyweight crown, who last night knocked out Charley Weinert in the second round, will leave tonight for Indianapolis for his fight with Joe Downey. He plans to return to New York in time to meet his new trainer Horatio Lavalle who will ar- rls\'t- from DBuenos Aires on August 18. All-American football téam went in 1916 to Scandinavia, where they won three games, lost one, and two were tied. BRIG:$ AH - 1T YIELDS AND HAT SLIDES IN AT LAST AND DECIDES To HOLD IT IN LAPR.. .
