THRILLS IN BIG LEACUES = | AS EHMKE GIVES BUT ONE | HIT: CY HITS 2 HOMERS Boston Twirler Smothers Yanks—Williams Now Leads Babe—Pirates Tightening Grip On Second Place— Kelly Is Hero of Giants’ | New York, Sept, 12.—There were some minor sensations in the major leagues yesterday. Howard Ehmke pitched a no run, one hit game against the | Yanks, leading Boston to victory 8 to 0; Cy Williams pounded out & pair of homers in Philadel- phia's game with the Robins who went down to crushing de- feat 11 to 8 and Jack Scott shut | out the Boston Braves 10 ‘o 0. Pittsburgh defeated Cincinnati 4 to 8 making them a game and a half ahead of the Reds and Gl,zhbehind the Giants. mke was robbed of the honor of pitching two no hit games In succes- slon by the awkward bound of a sharply hit ball from the stick of | Witt, the Yank centerflelder. Howard | Shanks, the Boston third baseman, was the victim of the crooked hop. But for that Ehmke would have ac-| complished a feat never before re- carded to the credit of any pitcher in baseball history. Cy Williams' honors came in the seventh and eighth innings and in- creased his home run record for the season to 87, two ahead of Babe Ruth. Kelly was the hero of the Giants' victory. He scored a homer, a dou- ble and two singles out of four times at bat and turned in 8 runs. AMERICAN LEAGUE Yanks Are Losers. New York, Sept. 12.—Howard Ehmke, who pitched a no hit game against Philadelphia on Sept. 7, held the American League champions to one scratch hit here yesterday, Boc- ton defeating the Yankees in the last game of the series, 3 to 0. Witt, the first player to face Ehmke, ‘hit a puz- zling. bounder toward Shanks, which he cuffed ‘with his glove, and recov- ered it too late to retire the fast Witt. George Pipgrass, a young pitcher from the South Atlantic Association, started his first game of the season for New York, and made a good showing.

Reading the following will give the rival football managers a good impression of the abllity of just a few of the football players: Louis Puppel, captain and tackle, will no doubt be very much in evidence in smashing through the rival teams and in breaking up thelr plays. Only a youngster in years but he has been a member of the Tomahawks of Cleve- land, a team that won the champion- ship of that city and of neighboring cities. Huff Conrad, also a member offhe famous Tomahawks of Cleve- land, a teammate of the sturdy Rang- er captain, will play in the capacity of halfback. Nick Rocco, a New Brit- ain High school star, will play end for the Ranger team. Al Siefel, the ex-army player will be in the fullback position. Joseph Argosy is an ex-All Bridgeport center and will be seen in his 'position of center for the Rangers, Other members of the team are as follows: Yasiia-iius, Paul Kahms, John Crane, Donlan, -Helm, Sinke- witch, Turner, Keesky, Neverick, Kolpaq, Anastasiso. The Rangers feel justified in assum- ing with this fine array of men and material that they will be in line for playing against teams of a high cali- bre.

St. Paul, Minn, Sept. 12.—Blilly Wells, British welterweight, injured in Monday night's fight with Jimmy Jones of Youngstown, Ohio, was re- covering from a bruised back and a cut on the head, received when he and Jones fell out of the ring. He left for Chicago today. Jones, who injured his leg, left for Youngstown, where he fights Wednesday night. Ain’t It a Grand And Glorious Feeling? | GIBBONS BATTLE WAS MOST EXCITING ONE Champ Was at All Times Guarded by Picked Men—Feared Vio- lence from Mob. By The Associated Pres New York, Sept. ~—No cham- plonship in Jack Dempsey's career was staged under conditions more ex- traordinary or more dramatic than his 16-round battle with Tommy Gib- bons, the St. Paul challenger at Shel- by, Mont., last July 4. Owing to the demands of Jack Kearns, manager of the champion, for the complete fulfiliment of Demp- sey's $800,000 contract much {ll feeling had been aroused against.the titleholder and when he entered the ring he was facing a strictly Gibbons crowd. As Dempsey walked down ‘oward the ring heé was surrounded by five detectives from Chicago, picked men with records as shooters. Kearns frankly admits that he had at least eight men armed for the ‘purpose of guarding himself and Dempsey from any violence which might be at- tempted. Glibbons proved to be the best de- fensive fighter that Dempsey had ever met, his cleverness and elusive- ness saved him from a knockout in spite of thé champion's most deter- mined attacks. In the opening of the fight Gib- bons could use his speed and his shiftiness, he was at times the master of Dempsey. But whenever they fell into clinches which were increasingly frequent, Dempsey mauled and pounded Gibbons in merciless fashion and piled up points. Gibbons fought a fast and coura- geous fight for ten rounds. Then he seemed to tire, and lasted until the end almost entirely on his defensive skill, - It was the first time that any man had succeeded in staying the limit with Dempsey since he became champion. The battle was Dempsey's first in two years since his memorable con- test with Georges Carpentier in 1921, and his handlers claimed he was not in championship form due to the long layoff.

They will meet in the Yankee stadium, Sept. 28. Dundee appeared before the New York State Athletic commission to- day and reversed his stand of a week ago when the bout was ordered post- poned. The fight was to have taken place last Wednesday. The postponement took place when Matchmaker Jimmy Johnston stated that Dundee was out of condition and that in justice to the public he should be given time to get in shape, Dundee bitterly resented the state- ment that he was not in condition and stated he was ready to fight Leonard then and would not meet him on any future date, 1 1 High Individual Single, Ryan N a8l By 117 X a a ! 1 hi h P b by a J i h ‘ashington, Waterbury,.121, Atlantic City, :Xed on toward the called ring th just enouy cles loosen\" yack Dem psey completes ¥ fue weeks training for d e Lm\temefense of his title Grounds Frld\t 7| trained to the ercise today. lar morning hiktnrough the pine- yesterday for:the last e ing gloves were pack New York tomorrow.
