The ! inflelder who had the doubtful honor | ot providing the last and saddest strikeout of 1926 made three home runs in five times up against the ‘White Sox at New York. Lazzeri's remarkable batting per- formance which came within a single run of the record for number of homers in one game featured a long-drawn and thrilling battle which ended with the Yankees on the long end of a 12 to 11 score. The 11 inning victory was (h Yankees' second in two days over | their nearest rivals for the American league lead. Again the defeat was hard for the White Sox to swallow for they made more hits than the kees, just as | 7 they did in the previous day's game. | Also, Falk, Clancy and Barrett's (|} homers just evened for Lazzeris three home runs. | In five games between the two this | son, the Yankees have now come off victorious four times and the Six | ave yet to win a game at the| ankee stadium, a fact which might lead teams led by less matter of fact men than the magnetic Ray Schalk | to believe themselves the victim of |, an inescapable jinx. | Up until yester parently had the > kind of Indian sign on the Giants, but the New Yorkers ended it was an 8 to 7 A Har iBluege, Batted for Hofmann tted for Ruffing —Batted for Re victory on the wings of Hornsh)‘s‘ sany over-the-fence clout in the ninth.; Home runs by Webb and Wilson | cnabled the Cubs to down the!

Concentrated hits by the Cincinnat! Reds in the later innings accounted for their fourth straight victory, 5 to 4, at the expense of the Phillies. The Quakers thus dropped to seventh place, just above the Reds.

London June 9.—A fat old hen cluck-clucking all over the barn- vard, in its foolish pride about its | one chick, is not in it these ays with old England checring it- selt hoarse over the fact that in Teddy Baldock it has at last found a man likely to be a champion in the fight racket. There are men in England today whom victory over Germany in the World War is almost as nothing compared with the London boy's winning the other night from our Yankee boy, Archie Bell. He's the source of jubilant talk in the clubs. He's the hero of a! dozen newspaper accounts. He's pictured dressed and undressed. He's interviewed and adulated. Americans had so completely cor- nered the champlonships in prize- fights that the British despaired of ever finding another son of John Bull who could survive the test. This Baldock lad is just a very human, very likeable, clean-living, nineteen-year-old Cockney kid from the poor district of London known as Poplar. 1In their hero worship | the British have almost made a Gene Tunney of him, but not quite. | For instance, they don't call the red-headed youngster handsome, but say he's not g0 worse. They don't depict him as a Tunney Mghhrow.“ Teddy told me he didn’t read hooks | of poetry like Gene, | “I don't read much.” he ‘“except one kind of books. are all about anatomy. I live "em.” | "So you will know scientifically | where to hit ‘em so it hurts?” I queried. Teddy grifmed and said: “You've got the idea, Mister. | Outside of hoxing T like walking.

She's got Dblue eyes and golden hair, a regular English girl. She never sees me fight and I am glad of it. “When T had my scrap with Bell. 1 knew Pop would be there. Fact is, T leaned over to him during the fight and told him if Bell knocked he could keep me down would be to it on me. “During that same fight T had a surprise bigger than anything Bell T'ye win- | C50608005050668506556353 5550 5085664500500050005L80650000004 handed out and he's a clean, clever, shifty fighter. Mom handed me the wallop. She told me she was going to the pictures the night I fought. T thought she meant it. But dur- ing a pause in some whirlwind fighting T looked out into the audi- ence and bang! there was Mom | smiling encouragement at me. I just had to win then.” This wasn't mere [meant it. Up to now, if he has had | |any boss, it's been “Mom.” The; |kid idolizes her. If she were to |come home any cvening and say: “Teddy Baldock, you go right up |stairs and go to bed!” none of the | Poplar hoys would be surprised to | hear him answer meekly | “Yes, Mom!" And—really do it? The boys over here are claiming the world's bantamweight cham- { pionship for Baldock. They do o with an apparent disregard of quite a number of other boxers who also claim the same title. ! | They've entirely forgotten ahont | | Bud Taylor, Tony Canzoneri, Bushy Graham, Tgnatio Fernandez, Abe At- | tell Goldstein, not to mention cham- | pions in France and Germany. lor's claim secms to be the hest t this time, but that is not worry- z the British fight fans. Their| { boy beat Archie Bell and that makes | | him a champion. You know, vyou ireally ean’t blame them. Some kind promoter mnst now step into the picture and arrange ‘an elimination contest for the ban- {tams similar to the one put on by Tex Rickard for the heavyweizhts. Such an affair shonld draw quite well each particular bantam has | his own coterie of followers. What do the English say abont that? Well, yon could never con- | vince them that Teddy 3aldock would not finish the tournament as champion. 1k.

Playing his first game over the remodeled championship Oakmont course yesterday, in a foursome with Bobby Cruickshank, Joe Kirk- | wood and Willie Hunter, former | Dritish champion, Armour turned | in a 70, two below par, the lowest score yet made on the new course. Hunter shot 73, Kirkwood had a 76 while Cruickshank, slightly off form, shot 78. | Bobby Jones made the old course in 67 during a practice round for the 1925 amateur championship, | but over 100 yards has been added | to the course, as well as ticklish bunkers and fraps, and plavers,| agree the course is at least shots harder than it was then.
