The Angels forged ahead again in the sixth inning on bunched hits by the wrecking crew. Singles by Four- nier, Crawford and Kenworthy scored Fournier. Seattle again ued the count in the seventh on Cunning- ham's double, a pass to Bighee, La pan’s safe bunt and Murphy's sacri fice fly to left. The locals should have won the game in this frame, Y wy, unpytl V 4 Yy S ay 1 ot F THEE ‘Thomas got out of two mixups in the ninth and tenth innings. The visitors filled the bases in the ninth, and Kenworthy knocked into a dou- ble play. They filled the paths again in the ninth, but two pop flies stopped their rally. Cunningham's double in the seventh was a screaming base blow down the third-base alley. Bigbee crashed one of the longest home runs of the year when he pick- ed Pertica’s fast ball in the fifth in- ning for a circuit wallop. Jimmy Walsh, who played first base in the absence of Jack Knight, who was spiked Saturday, made a pretty one-handed catch of Murphy's wild heave in the 11th frame. Nie- hoff kicked so much about the deci- sion that Ump Bdford sent him to the clubhouse. Killefer made a swell catch of Compton's line drive in the fourth frame, French was robbed of a hit in the third, when he slammed the ball down third base, and the ball hit the bag, bounced into Niehoff's hands, and that worthy finished up the job by ‘whipping the ball over to first base, ahead of Ray. Sam Crawford made two hits in every game of the past week's se- ries, MAISEL AND HARSTAD TO JOIN BEAVER MEN PORTLAND, Ore, July 14, — George Masel, gardener, and Oscar Harstad, pitcher, did not accompany the Portland Beavers when they de- parted for Salt Lake City last night.

When he left San Diego in 1910 his purpose was -to vigit many parts of the world and invite people to attend the two California expositions of 1915, Sacramento Willard Did Not Go to Manhattan Jess Willard was so confident of beating Jack Dempsey he had planned to visit New York and spend a month or six weeks there. The beating he took at the hands of the younger man spoiled the program and Jess left Toledo for his Kansas farm in a motor car. Cheerful in his public statements, the ex- champion is nevertheless very sensitive over his defeat. Ho has no hankering to mingle with the crowds and hear ref- erences to the Toledo battle, Rather he would go into retire- ment for a while in his quict Kansas home. Later when the sport world forgets Jess will venture forth and resume oil business in Texas. Yanks Slump in American League Race White Sox Show Cracks in Play; Race in Baby Minor Is Close BY H. C. HAMILTON (United Press Correspondent) NEW YORK, July 14.—The White Sox are taking full advantage of | whatever it is that has happened to | the Yanks, but they also are show ing signs of a yawning crack in their own power that may come in handy for the New Yorkers within a few days, While the Indians and Tigers have been mauling the daylights out of the Huggins pennant chasers, the Sox have been man-handling the Athletics in such bruising fashion that the Chi cagoans have vaulted a full three games in front and are going fast. In winning the victories that have pushed them to the fore, however, the Sox have been forced to pile up anywhere from five to 10 runs, for the opposition clubs have found it easy to land on Kid Gleason's pitch- ers. Yesterday, for instance, the Red Sox accumulated nine runs off the White Sox slabbers, six of them in a single session with the willow. The Yankee slump—it can be called nothing else—is in advanced stages. ‘They should have beaten the Indians, judging from what the Browns and Senators have done to the Fohl men, and were expected to have a fairly easy time with the Tigers. But both clubs smote the Huggins clan fore and aft. Star pitchers apparently have had nothing to recommend them at the paymaster’s office, and Hug- gins has declined to experiment with anything else. The race in the American league Is holding practicalty al! the interest, in spite of the bloody fight now in prog- ress between the Cincinnati Reds and the Giants.

Max is the funniest man in the Dempsey entourage, Max was hired to keep Jack Dempsey in a good hu- mor, but Jess Willard says Max was a poor clown—that Jack was in anything but a good humor the day he was introduced to him at Toledo.

However, Nick is a sweet cookie when it comes to pick- ing ‘em off the bushes, A: regular knick-knack. Cincinnati is still cheerful, tho Cleveland is losing heart. From old Lake Erie to the Ohio river the baseball fans of the Buckeye state have been praying for two pennants. Ohio isn’t satisfied with the Willard Dempsey fight; it wants the world's series. And if it were not so four baseball magnates would now be in the real estate game or selling life insurance. If the Reds win the pennant the beer-drinking population of the river town will feel they have been reim- bursed for the loss of their brewer- jes. They can get drunk on base- ball dope and stay so all winter, Hope springs eternal in the hearts of Cincinnati, Cleveland and St. Louis baseball fans.

HE EVEN TOOK A OB KE OF ~ Soap} Australian | SportsBoom, | Says Baker |New Generation of Stars in Far East; Returned Sol- diers Boost Sports BY FRED TURBYVILLE N. E. A. Sports Writer Australian sports are booming. Crowds such as never before watched athletic events are turn- ing out regularly. A letter re ceived from Snowy Baker, pre- mier sportsman of the faraway land, says 50,000 crowds at foot- ball matches are not rare, and that boxing shows twice a week drew 10,000 to 12,000 persons. The return of soldiers to the land of the kangaroo has boosted sport just as it has in the United States. There are more boxers than ever before and the boxing fans are clamoring for more matches with Americans, Baker has under contemplation a trip to California with a team of New South Wales amateur boxers. He ts angling for a series of matches with Californians. It 1s his plan to make this an annual event. ‘Tho many of the best Australian athletes have been killed or disabled in the war, there is a new genera- tion of stars coming on and great tn terest is being taken in the 1920 Olympic meet in Belgium. The com; ‘ag Olympic is perhaps responsible of sports in the British colony. Aus: tralia probably will show strongest in the boxing events, as amateur box- ing there is at its height. Fanny Durack and Mina Wylie, fa- mous swimamers, are now in this country and will compete in various aquatic events during the summer. FATE HANDS DARCY BOYS TOUGH DEAL Not even Jack Dempsey cornered the limelight more successfully than aid Les Darcey, the famous Aus. tralian middleweight, when he tn- vaded America a year ago. And then a sudden fllness put the final knockout on the Australian flash before he had the opportunity of showing fans here just what he could do. Back home a younger brother took up the task of writing “Dar- cy” prominently in the archives of the boxing world. His name was Frank Darey. He was only a lad but he was making strides to the front as rapidly as did Les. Today word reaches us that he, too, is dead—a victim of pneumonia follow: ing flu. Had the Darcy brothers both lived the boxing world today would have three sensations comparing with the Sreatest boxers of history. In their classes they were as good as the Utah boy who just sent Willard to his Kansas farm.
