By the Asociated Press. Now that it's too late to do any pennant chasing on their own hook, the Braves apparently have decided to get what melancholy satisfaction they can out of taking down first division clubs a peg or two.

A four run rally in the ninth en- abled the Reds to trim the Phils 6 to 4, Jack Hendricks throwing 19 men into the fray to pull it out of the fire. The St. Louis Cardinals lengthen- #d their league lead to five full games by taking over the Brooklyn Robins, 6 to 1. “0ld Pete” Alexander held the Robins to seven hits while Petty, Koupal and Ehrhardt were pounded for 15, including a home run and a triple hy Fr i Pittsburgh Pirates and the York Giants did all their scoring in the 2nd inning.

Over In the American league, the New York Yankees divided a twin bill with the Detroit Tigers. The champions won the first game, 12 to 1, by the simple process of scor- ing 11 runs on 12 hits in the 12th inning. The Tigers batted four pitch- | ers hard in the second encounter and finished on the long end of a 13 0 10 score. The Red Sox for the second straight day lost both ends of a dou- ble header to the Cleveland Indians, 4 to 2 and 4 to 3. Billy Bayne and George Grant were the winning pitchers. Their third straight win, 5 to 1, over the Chicago White Sox put the Philadelphia Athletics efght and a half games back of the league lead- ing Yankees. Lefty Grove was com- plete master of the situation from start to finish while his teammates were batting Al Thomas at oppor- tune moments. After dropping their seventh straight to the St. Louis Browns in the first game of a double header, the Washington Senators came back to win the night cap. Sam Gray pitched the Browns to a 7 to 5 vic tory in the first game and registered his 15th victory against seven de- feats.

Gene Tunney has been King of the heavyweights for the last two years, today, for the first time, his right to the heavyweight throne was un-| disputed. Tunney has been considered by many persons as unworthy of the crown glorified by the slugging John L. Sullivan, Jack Dempsey and other! famous punchers. But his combina-| tion of science and power, Which re- sulted in his technical knock out of Tom Heeney last nignt at the Yan- kee Stadium finally won the iAll\-gi-K ance of the boxing world. Heartened by the first knockout| in his championship career, Tunney was happy to announce "I intend fo remain in the fight business.”” He admitted, however, that he was in for another long idle spell because there was no promising opponent in sight, now that the New Zealander was out of the way. After the battered Heeney hal been removed from the ring and po- lice had fought thousands of Tun-| ney's admirers to get him passage to his dressing room, the chammonl refused to make any comment on his victory until he had been assur-, ed that his late challenger would suifer no permanent effects from | his defeat. Only then did Tunney say: “I am very gratified to have won. The victory, Tunney said, was due solely to the battle plan he mapped | out almost three months ago When he went to Speculator to train. “T made Heeney fight my fight for me.” Tunney said. *I almost knock- ed him down in the first round but when I saw what a tough fellow he was, 1 decided to center my attack on his body and let him defeat him- self. He was too strong to knock out with one punch. It took a good many hard rights to his body bcmre‘ he weakened.” Tunney said his greatest aid wa Heeney's habit of rushing him while he had the strength to do so. Such, tactics, the champlon belleves, add- ed more forcesto his blows, every one of which weakened the chal- lenger. The champion’s only complaint was levelled against Referee Eddie Forbes. “I thought the referee shoull have stopped the fight in the cighth round when I paralyzed Heeney's optic nerve with a hard right hook.” Tunney said. “The blow landed just above his eve and that was what made him blink." Tunney indignantly denied the | charges, made by one of Heeney's| handlers, that he had struck his| thumb in Tom's eye. “1 fought last night's contest a score of times at Speculator, against the punching bags and sparring partners,” he said. “Every move I made against Heeney, T perfected in my practice bouts with Harold Mays and Billy Vidabeck. “I knew Heeney was & rugged fighter and that the only way to de- feat him was to wear him down with body punches until I had sapped his strength and slowed him down. “I was never in danger. Heen was nothing like Jack Dempsey. He had no punch that I was afraid of and from the first round on I was confident that he would never go the full distance, once I started chopping away at his head with my left and pounding his body wfth my right.” The champion, when he left the ring, bore few battle scars. There was a small bruise on his chest and several scratches on his back. These latter marks were probably made when Tunney brushed against the ropes, and not by Heeney's fists. He had two of these rope marks when he entered the ring. His face was as unblemished as when he took off from Speculator yesterday morning but his right ear, which was injured during training, had been aggravated by several hard Heeney blows. Lou Fink. Tunney's trainer, promptly bathed this organ to re- duce the swelling and thus eiminate the danger of a “caulifiower,” & pos- sible ring scar which causes the champion to shudder at the thought. It was noticed that Tunney ed Jack Dempsey closely when the ter was introduced to the only fair sized crowd, which received him cordially. After the battle, Tunney was asked to give his views on the Manassa Mauler's “comeback” chances, “Jack looked much too fat soft,” Tunney said. *“He has put on a lot of weight and I think we would have a hard time getting him back into any kind of shape. T don't think he will ever fight again.” Tunney plans to go to the coun- try where he will spend a few days with his mother, three sisters and his brother.

New York, July 27 (®—The Hard nigh gravel today, pulverized by the power in the fists of Gene Tunney, a real fighting marine. Under a storm of gloves that rip- ped his scamed features open and blinded him in one eye, Tom Heeney of New Zealand, who plodded his way past all American challengers, crumbled last night in the eleventh round of the fifteen round battie he had earned with the heavyweight king. Heeney went down to defcat a shambling, gory figure, numbed in | body by terrific right hand punches which a new brand of Gene Tunney, poured into the almost defenscless challenger for nearly five con tive rounds. Heeney was saved from the ignominy of a knockout only by the shiclding arm of the refe after one of the greatest stands and most vicious beatings a heavyweight | ever endured. Overshadowing, perhaps, the un-| quenchable courage of the challen- ger in the face of withering glove fire, was the picture of the cham- pion revealed at last under the glar- ing lights of the Yankee Stadium | ring as a killer,—the type of fighter Tunney in his heart always had en- vied. Unfortunately, Gene's awesome | aisplay of punching venom came 100 | late to save Tex Rickard from the | first great fallure of his career. A\L] though official reports have vet to| be announced, the promoter admit- ted that the crowd of 50,000 that only half filled the huge home of the American League world cham- pions, paid but $700,000 to see the major fistic show of the outdoor season. The loss to Rickard and the Madi- son Square Garden Corporation coming at the end of a scries of heavyweight championship matches that set new records for receip probably will reach 0,000, The championship tilt, counting a guar- antee of $525.000 for Tunney and $100,000 for Hecney probably cost $800,000 to stage and of the $700,- 000 estimated receipts, the promoter must pay 30 per cent in taxes to the state and federal governments. But through that dreary vista of figures, that showed Rickard nothing but Josses where gates of $1,800,000 and $2,600,000 once bloomed under the magic touch of Jack Dempsey, the promoter today saw visions of big- ger and better “gates” to come. The impresario of Madison Square Garden belicves that he now has in Tunney the makings of one of the greatest drawing cards in the history of the ring—a master boxer with the power in his granite fists to batter helpless a man who never before was punched to the canvas. Brilliant Display Certainly the handsome champion, of an Indian, trained to the minute, and savage in the perfection of his clouting accuras turned loose upon Tom Meeney brilliant all around display of fighting power. From the third round until the seventh, when a sashing right hook paralyzed the optic nerve in Tom's left eye ,there was no ques- tion of Tunaey's supremacy. And from the moment that blow landed until Referee Ed Forbes mercifully stepped into save the Anzac blind| and helpless after two minutes and | 52 scconds of slaughter in the| eleventh, the mole issue was one of | endurance—Heeney's ability to ab- sorb punishment. For just a moment in the tenth round, as Hecney, battered senseless by a storm of punches that rattled off his flinty chin and chugged deep in his burly body, stretched helpless at the edge of the ring, Gene seemed to have won the prize of a clean knockout. But before a count could be started, the gong clanged to end the session and Tom's despairing scconds dragged him to his corner. Heroie treatment restored the Anzac sufficiently to warrant sending him forth for the final round, but the end, forecast from the moment Gene paralyzed half of Heeney's sight, could not he averted three minutes Having the sympathy of niost of the crowd by his indifference to punishment, Heeney tore into the champion in the first | round and drove Gene before him under a storm of short, looping head. Contemptuous of punishment, the cragsy-featured challenger ripped throngh Tunney's guard, bulled him about the ring. and drummed his punches on Gene's head. Tt was an amazing sight to the throng, which viewed the champion a8 a 3 to 1 favorite and had come to see a master boxer riddle his foe with lightning lefts. an occasional right and dazzle him with the fastest footwork any heavywcight has de- | Punches break the grip. But in between times, Gene smashed everlastingly at the challenger’'s body, now short, thudding left hooks that boomed into the pit of the stomach, now right smashes under the heart that painted Heeney's side a deep red and drained his stamina. Then as Heeney weakened under body blows that threatened to crack a rib, Gene cut loose again in the third, boxing cagily whenever Tom threatened, pinning him in a vice- like grip, but crashing always these punches to the challenger's fron sides. The punishment began to tell on the bull-chested invader. His rushes grew more desperate. wandered off the line. Switching to Heeney's head in the fourth round Gene drew blood from Tom's nese and lips with knife-like left jabs and right hand smashes that carried every ounce of the weight and strength in the chame pion’s body behind them. Desper- ately, but in vain, Heeney slashed back in an effort to halt this tor- mentor. Now and then, as Heeney's fea- tures crumbled under the cham- pion’s markmanship, Tom rushed Tunney to the ropes in brave but futile efforts to pin him down to one spot. There Gene showed his sole weakness. Whether from the memory of the September night in Chicago when Jack Dempsey caught him on the ropes and all but knocked him out, or because of nat- ural aversion to that style of fight- ing, Tunney seemed always at a disadvantage there. Once he hounded so fast to the center of the ring that Tom was left standing by the hempen barriers. But the steam was gone from the Heeney attack. Steady Beating Steadily the champion whittled away at his challenger, standing toe to toe with Tom to batter and slice | at his body as Heeney's strength failed. In the seventh round, the one blow that settled the battle left Tom blinking and rubbing his eye and for a moment it seemed as though the milling might end then and there, Here Tunney, now the master in full command of the milling, show- ed a brand of sportsmanship that brought cheers from the throng. Already tiring of the gory spectacle. Gene clinched with the challenger as Heeney fought to gain control of the left eyelid, held him there and refused to punch until he was sure that the injury was just one of the “breaks™ of the game. Happy at the outcome of the bruising fray that definitely estab- lished him as a slugger of tremend- ous power, Tunney was carried from the ring by his admirers and rush- ed away to rest and plan his hiking tour through Germany. Off in his Gressing room, Heeney bemoaned the punch that temporarily had robbed him of half his sight. And around the ringside, Where Rickard's proverbial weather luck had kept things dry until the fight was ended, newspapermen, like a tiock of drenched roosters, huddlgl ' over their typewriters pounding out copy in a drenching downpour of rain that swept the eity.

The Stanley Works team has kept its undefeated record intact by | last night's win and on the surface, | the team should come through the rest of the season to take the pen- nant. The Stanley Rule & Level team sprung the surprise of the year ast night by landing on the New Britain Machine with a vengeance to win its first game of the entire season by a 12 to 2 score. Stanley Rule—Newmatics ‘ Billy Wolfe with a great defensive team behind him, pitched the Stan- ley Rule & Level team to its first victory of the season last night in ! the game on Diamond No. 2. Wolfe allowed the Newmatics only two hits and had he not tired in the last in- ning and walked three men, he would have earned a shutout for himself. As it was, the Rulers won with a vengeance. Tired with being | the doormat of the lcague, they arose in all their glory with a re- organized lineup and crashed out 16 hits off the offerings of Richtmyer and Eric Anderson and scored 12 runs to take the game by a 12 to 2 score. The Newmatics were completely at the mercy of the Stanley Rule pitcher. nson was the only one on the team able to connect with his delivery.

Eric Anderson caught one on the nose that went left field for a double. | Richtmyer essayed the pitching stunt for the Newmatics at the start of the game but the Stanley Rulers fell on his offerings like an over- joyed mother meeting her prodigal son and seven runs on six hits were made before he retired in favor of Eric Anderson. Anderson’s first two opponents singled off him but Simon tried to stretch his hit into a double and was nailed at second. The Rulers got two more in the third and another pair in the fourth. They added their last in the seventh. They also threw away op- portunities of making more count- ers through faulty baserunning.
