He had hit four | times in four chances when he came up in the ninth with the score tied and another hit seemed almost too much to expect but Harris came through with the triple that won the game, 10 to 9. Like the Yankees the Pirates took a tighter hold on the lead of their league owing to the day’s play. The defeat cost the Cubs second place in the league. Even more remarkable than any batting performance was the one- man triple killing made by Johnny Neun, Detroit shortstop. Coming in the ninth it took the Indians’ breath away and enabled the Tigers to win a tight game, 1 to 0. The play was the second of its kind in two days, Jimmy Cooney of the Cubs having turned in the other Monday against the Pirates. Up to that time only six men in baseball's history had achieved the rare feat. In pitching one of the stars of the day was Bob McGraw, a Brooklyn castoff now with the Cardinals who pitched the champions in second place to the Pirates by holding the | Reds to five hits and beating them 1 to 0. Collins of the Tigers went him one better in holding the In- dians to four hits, while Petty of Brooklyn granted but 6 in beating Boston, 3 to 2.

The committee will open a public hearing Friday. Allegations that received news- paper attention yesterday were thut there has been traflicking in boxing tiges; that James Mullen, promoter of a majority of the im- portant iights here, has a local monopoly and that other promoters are frozen out; that preliminary fighters on the Mandell-Kansas lightweight title card had to turn back part of thelr purscs and that a representative of the boxing com- mission was secretly paid $1,5 and also that Phil Collins, the referce who gave Mandell the de- cision, had never hefore officiated in a professional contest. To the last charge Collins replied last_ night: “I was a professional boxer for several years, and have refereed in and around Chicago for four years.” Mullen said: “I have nothing to do with de- cisions. The boxing commission ap- points the officials. T couldn’t give a decision if I wanted to. Anyone who wants te promote boxing matches in Chicago Is free to do s0 it he lives up to the require- ments. “Anyone who says I paid any graft on any fight I have promoted is lying., Charges that fighters fought on a commission basls in the Man- dell-Kansas show are not true. “I will appear before the legis- lative committee Wwith all my rec- ords.” John Righeimer, chairman of the state athletic commission, said he welcomed an investigation and that commission would cooperate Illinois three titles have changed hands.

Taylor won by & technical knockout in the | round. fifth ! “Big Jim” Scott, pitching ace of the Stanley Works team, went to picces in the second and fourth innings and the Corbin batters fattened their averages considerably at his expense while they piled up a lead of six runs. With the score 10 to 2 tion down to seven scattered hits and three runs, The Stanley Works started the fireworks in the first inning by scor- ing two runs. Snyder walked and stole second, Jasper booted Gaida's grounder and Green's single brought both men in. Corbins had scored one in the first on a walk to atrus and a triple by Eright and they came back to score three in the sccond on a walk, two singles and a double, The' winners had their big inning in the fourth when they scored six runs to almost make sure of the game. The team batted around. Mat teo started the merry-go-round with a slashing single over first. Preisser followed with another single. Wright also singled. Huber was safe on Green's error. Jackson tripled and Jasper's liner got away from Grail. Carlson doubled. When the smoke had cleared away, Scoft was yanked and Salak retired the side by taking Matteo's fly. Corhins got another in the fifth. Then in their half of this frame the they could do was to bring in two counters. Snyder drove one through Patrus and doubles by Green and Schroeder accounted for the score start the ball when Schroeder slid under Jack Wright at home and Wright drop- ped the Lall. Corbins added a run in the sisth and another in the cighth for good measure. This was the first d suffered by the Stanley Works te since the opening of league play, “Goody" Preisser pulled two stops during the game that were worthy of a big leaguer. Mo snared a hit bare-hand' over sccond on Scott and {speared a grass cutter off Gaida. Both were almost sure safeties. Jim- my Green was the heavy artillery for the Stanley Works getting threc out of five, a triple and a double | being included in his efforts.
