Only 29 men faced Jones, of whom three reached first Lase. Galloway received a base on balls in_the first inning. In the eighth, Welch reached first on Scott's fumble of his grounder and Rykes got on when he forced Welch at second. Jones had no strikeouts. The Yankees gave him wonderful support and many of the stops and throws were of u spectacular nature, There were nine outfield outs and 18 in the infield, two of the latter being fouls to the. catcher. The real fielding feature was made by a member of the home team when ‘Welch leaned against the right field wall, and pulled down a drive from Ward's bat in the ninth that looked like a certain homer. There was much cheering among the fans when Pitcher Jones went to the mound in the ninth. Many in the crowd wanted to see him get a no-hit gamé. With two out Galloway tried hard to reach first on a hunt but was beaten by a step by the ball. - Hasty pitched good enough ball for the Athletics to win any ordinars game. He allowed only seven hils and walked only one man. Score: New York. v Seeas witt, ef. . Dugan, 3b, Ruth, 1f. . Pipp, 1b.

EASTERN LEAGUE Yesterday's Results : TENNIS GHAMPIONS 'T wANT 10 TELL YoU- FiP0 Wik THE HARDEST BY JESS WILLARD (Former Heavyweight Champion) The Dempsey-Firpo fight will be a slugging match, with the result a toss up. Dempsey is not what you would call a clever boxer, and Firpo is even less of a gymnasium sparring man. It will be a primitive battle, A grizzly bear will rip into a gorilla. A pile-driver will crash aganst a buzz. saw. They talk about the wallop in Dempsey's punches, but T wint to tell you that Firpo hits hardest. My ribs have bent and my head has whirled under the blows of each. I know. Both Determined Scrappers And the punches won't fan the air in this coming battle. Both men can be hit. Dempsey hasn't often had to take the full force of a straight blow in a vital place, but his policy Is to plunge in regardless of punishment. Firpo looks from the ringside as if you couldn't miss him. He isn't as easy as that. But the trouble comes when you crash home your sledge- hammer blows and they fail to make any impression on him. Both have the fighting spirit. That is an essential element, and if it isn't born in a man it cannot be trained into him. They have plenty of confi- DEMPSEY VS FIRPO WILL BE LIKE A GRIZILY BEAR RIPPING INTO A GORILLA dence and determination, Dempsey has the advantage of ex- perience. Firpo is larger and heavier, and I think stronger. Why is the result a toss up?

The challenger could do better later, but he is a first-class fighting man now. Then count in a large element of luck: It is a greater factor in a heavyweight fight than anywhere else in the boxing ey BOTH HAVE “THE FIGHTING sPR\T game,. I count luck for at least 30 per cent, With big men evenly matched one is almost as liable as the other to be first with a decisive blow. The one who lands a knockout need not be the heaviest hitter. Jess'll: Be There As soon as the gong sounds, as I dope this fight, Dempsey will rip into Firpo with everything he has, Demp- sey doesn’t wait for them fo come to him, Firpo, in our fight started right in the center of the ring, never gave any ground and kept hammering away. That is his style. 1 belleve Dempsey will find Tirpo ready to stick along at his pace and shoot back as suvagely as he receives, Usually T don't go to fights as a spectator. I intend not to miss this one. 1t ought to be a superbattle for flerceness and intensity. (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Inc.)

LEONARD A WELTER, DUNDEE DECLARES Denies He Himsell Is Unit-He Will Glaim Title New York, Sept, 5,~~The scheduled fifteen-round bout between the two world's champlons, Benny Leonard, king of the lightweights, and Johnny Dundee, whose recent victory over Eugene Crique, the Frenchman, gained him the featherweight crown, which was te have. been held at the Yankee Stadium tonight, has been postponed, Word to that effect was given out yesterday by James J. John~ ston, matchmaker of the Cromwell A, C.,, under )«'holu auspices the bout for the ‘world’s lightwelght title was to have been held, No definite date was announced for the bout, but it was stated that there would be a meeting of officials of the club today, at which time a new date, probably Sept., 28, would be set. There was considerable surprise among followers of boxing when the announcement was made that Match- maker Johnston has appeared at the officés of the New York State Boxing Commission yesterday afternoon to apply for approval of a postpone- ment of the match. Chairman Wil- llam Muldoon of the commission had already left for his home and was un- aware of any hitch until so informed last night. The reason Johnston gave in his statement jssued yesterday was that he had made a visit to Dundee's train- ing camp at West Orange, N. J., and that he was convinced that the chal- lenger for Leonard's crown was not in physical coidition to do himself jus- tice. Dundeé€, however, took the opposite view, stating that he was as fit as a fiddle. The challenger refused to acquiesce to the calling off of the bout and at once transferred his headquarters to New York, declaring that he would proceed just as if noth- ing had happened, and that if Leon- (Continued on Following Pagr).
