Tell B him to bat off another inspira- iH tional yarn for the youth of the ; country entitled ‘Lew the newsboy”’ or “From Newsstand to Champion’ (perhaps), for the hearts of Philadel- phia fandom are pulsating with a new- born hope and faith that the youngster who once peddied papers on the cor- ner.of Broad and Market Streets will knock Benny Leonard for a row of Russian cantelopes when they meet at Doyle's Thirty Acres the last of ; this month. i When it comes to hitting Philadel- ' Phia believes that the glove is mighti- er than the bat and serenely visualizes the lightweight pennant fluttering gayly above old Daddy Penn's statue atop the City Hall. In the meantime down on the green shores of the historic old Delaware at a place called Delanco the object of their naive faith is knocking spar- M ring partners about with reckless abandon. Delanco, N. J., ie half hour per- haps, by train from Philadelphia, A ; somnolent little place of white fronted } cottages and small dwellings along the streets of which prim old ladies meet and chatter and nod while the elderly men mow the family lawns. Skirting Delanco along the Delaware shore banked with shrubs and trees stand palatial homes of many of Philadelphia's wealthy families. Acres of broad sward slope gently down to the river's edge. It is an ideal retreat for one who weeks rest, It is here however that Lew Tendler is training for the fight of his career. Surrounded by an en- vironment which only the rich may possess the ex-newsboy has establish- ed his quarters where he will remain until the day of the contest. LEW HAS RING INDOORS AND ONE OUTDOORS, On the grounds of the. home of a wealthy Philadelphian, who has had @ personal interest in Tendler's pro- gress, is pitched an open-air ring to be used when weather permits. A large, private garage on the property contains a complete gymnasium equipment, shower and rubbing ta- bles. When the weather is inclement Lew may repair to the basement of the house proper, wMere another rng has been installed and where he can do his stuff unmolested. The retinue lives in a bungalow two blocks awa: It is a far throw back to the old Sweat-laden atmosphere of the train- ing camps used by the ancients. If environment has any effect upon con- ditioning a fighter Lew Tendler should enter the ring in well nigh perfect shape, Lew had just finished his first day’s work when I arrived at Delanco to see him, and was receiving a vigor- ous rubdown by his corpulent trainer, Jack Scoodies. A shower followed and ‘Tendler donned a bathing suit, which is his constant attire when not out on the road or sparring. We strolled around the vast grounds of the estate, which seemed to excite his interest far more than his approaching fracas with the champion, Lew nurses an ambi- tion to mingle with that sort of land- scape. He forgot it, however, long enough to express himself concerning the lightweight championship. “Why shouldn’t | beat Leon- ard?” he asked. ‘I've got more than even chance.

And that's the way it goes. If it isn't gne combination against the Yanks it's Works either way. Taking hold of the old onion, Mr. Faber hurled it at our blinking nine long innings of a quiet Sunday afternoon, giving them helpful lesson in pitching. They had just as much chance of lick- ing that fellow as did the Harlem Hornets, who were playing the Little Potatoes Hard to Peel in the vacant lot just outside the Polo Grounds. Babe Ruth clipped one fast ball for a single over second. Wallle Schang made two safe whacks. That com- peted the attack of the champs for the Sabbath, They suffered their sec- ond whitewash of the season, Wal- ter Johnson shut the Yanks out on June 28 for the other one. These champs of ours may have their. many faults, but when any pitcher hangs a necklace of goose eggs around the neck of Murderer's Row you may be assured that he has been hurling that ole pill with some eclat—yes, lots! ‘And while Mr, Faber was doing his) stuff—his midsummer stunt of lick- ing the Yanks—the rest of the Sox took Bullet Joe Bush in hand and did theirs. Young Mr. Yaryan got hold of a fast one in the third and pasted it against the upper facade of the right field grandstand for a homer, The customers—all hands concerned— might as weel washed up and gone home right then, That one poke won the ball game, showing that youth and age can work together if mixed in the right proportion.

A year ago they would have passed the Bambino then, taking no chances. But Ferdie Schupp, having heard what had been going on around here, whipped three curves at the Babe and whiffed him as clean as you please. Yes, several games have been lost recently by our most valiant and heroic hitters taking the count with a runner on third, That's another thing the matter with the Yanks. dslee Mdae SPENCER BROTHERS WIN TEAM RACE Arthur and Willie Spencer defeated Frank Kramer and Orlando Piani in two straight heats of a one-mile team match race at the Velodrome in Newark yesterday afternoon, ‘Willle Spencer won the first heat for his team and Arthur the second.

ROM a financial point of view it was hardly worth Squire Eb- bets’s while to bring his team F of athletes all the way from Pittsburgh for a single Sunday game at Pbbets Field. But from a moral angle it was a stupendous success. Only 10,000 of the bravest and most optimistic citi- zens of Flatbush came out In the hope of secing their favorites vanquish the Pirates, and to the credit: of the bat- tle-scarred Robins it must be said that the fans were not disappointed. The score was 6 to 2. Immediately after the game both teams departed for Pittsburgh, where this afternoon they play the third game of their series. Dazzy Vance will do the pitching for the Robins and Morrison may get another chance to go in against them. The Robins found him for two safeties in the brief period he held sway over the mound in yesterday's game. Before going into the details of yesterday's game it would perhaps not be amiss to make brief mention of the fact that Robbie has made another shift. This time it ie in his batting order. He has shaken every- thing else s0 much and so often with tHe same result that to avoid pos- sible fractures he decided upon the batting order as the easiest thing to pick on. And it seemed to work beautifully. Olson is now lead-off man and Hy Myers is batting second, High has been put way down on thé list in the place of Olson and Ward follows High. It worked like a charra against the Pirates yesterday. Olson got one clean hit and scored two runs and Myers got a single, a double, a triple and also scored two runs, But there is no good reason as yet to place too much confidence in the new arrange- ment. All of Robbie's previous shake- ups have also worked in great style for a few days—and then his men seemed to get back into the rut from which Robinson had calculated, by the change, to save them, The Robins played a great game yesterday. It was hardly the same team which for the past couple of weeks has been the most consistent loser in the National League. Bur- leigh Grimes did the hurling and spared little speed and little chewing tobacco. He pitched as good a game as he has shown so far this season, and in the pinches he was invincible. He proved his ability as a master tn the pinches in the second inning The Pirates got the bases full on a single and two errors, one by Andy High and the other by Hy Myers. It ae seen that Hy lost his smoked in his chase for a fly and was riven by the fans, Andy never was, One mon was out when the were ‘illed, and Grimes took a new chew of tobacco and struck out Carteon, 3e looked at his work and! jaaw that it wes good, so he atry with three pitch the dramatic inning of the game, It oa later on Grimth’s out, ‘Tho dig inning for the Hebins was! St. Louis Fans Believe Big Series Will Be Entirely Staged in Their City. By Robert Boyd. ST. LOUIS, July 17.—Out here where the torrid Missouri sun bakes the asphalt pavements into a soft tar- like substance during the ay they stui dream of enjoying a world’s series played here next October in the dreary, drab looking baseball stadium known as Sportsmen’s Park, home of both the Cardinals and the Browns. St. Louis is strictly a Browns town. That is the St. Louls Browns outdraw and are more popular than the Cardi- nals. It is strictly an American Lea- gue city. Yet, when the Cardinals are playing New York in a crucial series ike the present one with the National League leadership swaying in the balance the Mound City fans turn out en masse to support Branch Rickey's men, for St. Louisans have nu love for either New York baseball club, whether it be In the American or National League. Here the youthful flapper is well versed on the national game, She sits high up in the second tier of the shabby looking grand stand-of Sports- men's Park and yells for Rogers Hornsby to knock the ball into the stands, She pleads for Jack Smith, Jack Fournier, Stock and McHenry to land on the ‘old pill,” anything to bring about the defeat of the invin- cible world's champions. Old men, men of middle and tender ages share with the feminine populace of St. Louis the appeal for the defeat of the World's Champions. To-day St. Louis revels in excite- ment. The Cards have defeated the Giants in two straight games. The crucial series, the National League leadership, is within the grasp of Rickey’s men, The champions came here with a two and a half game lead, Two straight defeats have re- duced this lead to half a game. The baseball nopes of the St. Louisans run high, They discuss nothing but the two straight victories of the Car- dinals, Up until the last inning either club appeared to be a possible victor. The world’s champions lost Saturday's game by the scant margin of one run. They lost Sunday's game also by the score of 1 to 0. McGraw is unfortunate in meeting the Cardinals when his pitchers are not in their first form. Douglas pitched the last two innings of the first game here, but ‘Doug's’ arm is far from being in shape, Trainer Davis has been was full of heroism and realized am- bitions, It was the eighth. The bases were full and one man was out. Ward started it by dying on the spot. Miller, however, managed to reach first when Grimm failed to touch the bag with Tierney's throw, Grimes beat out a bunt that he meant for a sccrifice and Olson also beat out an infield hit, filling the bases, Myers then came up and sent a slashing ‘triple to the right fi wall, cleaning the basses and scoring a few moments BALL TO-DAY, 3.30 FP. POLO Grounds, Yankess ve tchiage hi working on around. Jesse Barnes and Bill Sherdel en- gaged in a pithchers’ battle here in the second game. Barnes held the Cards to seven hits, while Sherdel let the Giants down with ten. Bill Ryan was pounded hard here in the first game, while Jesse Barn great game for Rickey’ ters."” Just what will happen in the re- maining two games of the present series is a matter of conjecture. Nehf and Toncy will have to shoulder the responsibility, and possibly Douglas, of keeping the Cardinals out of first place. One more game, and Branch Rickey supplants the World's Cham- Plons as the league leaders. It will rest entirely with the pitchers. Art Nehf will be McGraw’s selection to- day,and Rickey will send “one hit” Bill Doak of spitball fame against the Giants. With a record attendance of 28,000 spectators looking on, the Cardinals captured the second game here jn the eighth inning. Max Flack singled, J. Smith sacrificed. Hornsby was in- tentionally passed. Mueller forced Hornsby at second. Fournier singled, scoring Flack. The Giants were prevented from ‘scoring in the eighth on ground rules. Young sent out a bunt. Kelly hit into the crowd in deep right centre The ball rolled into the crowd, Young scoring and Kelly going to third Umpires O'Day and Hart called Young back and allowed both men only two bases, owing to ground rules, The next three batters were retired easily. This was the only chance of victory the World's Cham- pions had. Ja SID MARKS EARNS DRAW WITH WILLIE JACKSON it trying to bring tt Although he managed to earn a draw ‘Willie Jackson's pugilistic career came within a hair line of ending abruptly Saturday night at the Commonwealth Sporting Club where Sid Marks, the new lightweight champion of All-Can- ada dropped him three times during a ten-round bout. In the first round Marks, with a beautiful one-two blow, sent Jackson down on his back. Jack- son very foolishly refused to take a count and got up, but Marks sent him down again, Jackson got up just as the bell rang. Marks sent Jackson down again in the fifth round.
