SINGLE G AN EASY WINNER.
Hoosier Stallion Takes Detroit Free
for-All Pace in Good Time.

DETROIT, Mich, July 2S.-Single G
was the hero of the fourth day of the
Blue Ribbon meeting. He won the first
heat of the free-for-all pace in 2.00A
but as he left the track after this fast
heat he looked like a hopeless cripple.
When the time came for the next heat,
however. Single G responded as though
nothing had happened and won handily.
Russell Boy. which fell before Single
G at Cleveland last week, won the third
heat, but the crowd cheered the Hoosier
stallion. for he had won the race.
Grand Chimes victor in the Pontchar-
train stake, won only one heat. Box r.
landed the Griswold stake, showing
himself to be a first-class racer. The
only beaten favorite was Jay El Mack
in this race.
The free-for-all pace had field Of
six and was an animated betting propo-
sition. Single G and Russell Boy were
equal favorites at $500 each in the big
pool. with $35 for the field, including
Braden Direct, Judge Ormonde, R. H.
Brem and Hal Boy. At the close Of the
betting Single G was even against the
field.

In a match played at Columbia the
early part of this week between A. j
Cummings and Jack Burgess and c
H. prme and Fred Mcleod, the bes,
ball of the players on the first four
holes was even threes. On the first
hole, A. r. Mckenzie, who was playing
with the foursome, but was not in the
match, laid his second shot within six
feet of the cup, but McLeod's mashie
fort. being only two feet past the cup
On the second hole, which is difficult
pitch across a brook, Burgess second
shot hit the lip of the cup, but did
not stay in, giving him, however, an
easy three.
On the third hole, which is a harder
three than any of the first two, Mcleod
surprised the rest of the players by hol-
ing a putt from clear across the green for
his three. Orme played two fine shots or
the fourth hole and got good putt, CIV
ing the party the fourth three. Mcleod
with a six on the sixth hole, had score
of 35 for the first nine holes.
Some of the photographs taken of the
players at Columbia in the act of hitting
the ball show peculiar attitudes, some
of which the players themselves probably
would not be willing to admit. One pic
ture taken of a left-handed player shows
all his weight on his left foot. something
he would not admit until he had seen
the picture. A snapshot of F. B. Eynon,
jr., the District champion, shows an al
most perfect swing as the champion is
finishing his stroke.

after Crawford had been walked and
yeach doubled to left center. But the
Griffmen tied the score in the third in

a double and Mcbride got single over
third. Boehling drove double to left,
scoring Ainsmith and sending Mcbride
to third. Morgan popped up to Baker,
and then Foster hit a high bounder to
Roland, who threw to the plate too late
to catch Mcbride, and the score was
tied

TITLE AT STAKE TONIGHT.
Champion Welsh May Have Trouble
Withstanding Leonard's Attacks.

NEW YORK. July 2s.-The possibil-
ity that the lightweight championship
may change hands has aroused remark
able interest in the ten-round bout be-
tween the worlds title holder, Freddie
Welsh. and Benny Leonard. his danger
Gus challenger, to be staged tonight by
the Washington Park Sporting Club at
the former Brooklyn Federal League
base ball grounds. This will be the
second meeting between Welsh and
Leonard, and, although the first bout
took place more than year ago, Welsh
remembers clearly the lacing he re-
ceived on that occasion from the clever
and hard-hitting New Yorker.
There is just a possibility that the
lightweight crown may be shifted to
the head of Leonard after tonight's en-
counter, but little probability. Welsh
knows well the grave danger of en-
gaging Leonard a second time, and he
has prepared for tonight's bout as he
seldom has prepared himself before.
Training camps reports always indi-
cate the glowing condition of a boxer,
sometimes with more conventionality
than truth, but this time Welsh has pre-
pared to stand off Leonard. He recalls
the fate of George Chip, who lost his
title here to Al Mccoy. And just as
earnestly has Leonard conditioned him
self for perhaps the best opportunity
he will ever have of winning the light
weight championship. For the young
ster, as well as for the veteran, every
thing is at stake. If Leonard fails to-
night he may never have another op-
to battle Welsh. If he startles
the pugilistic world by knocking out
Welsh-and that is the only way he can
win the title, except on an intentional
foul-Welsh may never want to don a
boxing glove again.
1t is that championship flavor that
makes the bout tonight interesting.
Welsh is not the type of boxer the
fight-loving public flock to see, but
there will be a big crowd present, many
hoping that Leonard will produce the
sleep inducing punch.

BY H. C. BYRD.

Two former professional ball players
have been doing splendid work for
teams in the amateur league this sum-
mer. Tom Crooke, who has held down
first base for a number of clubs in
good circuits in organized ball, has
been putting up a strong game for the
Steel Plant and Holy Name clubs in
the Potomac and Catholic Church
leagues, and Harry Zannelli, a short
stop and third baseman for various
professional organizations, has been
showing fine form at various times this
season for the Rosedales, Clarendon
and Steel Plant.
Crooke probably did his best playing
while with Reading in the Tri-State
League. In those days, back in 1907,
1908, 1909, the Tri-State was a real
league, too, and there was no better
first baSeman' in 1t than Crooke, when
all-round capabilities were considered
Crooke was a remarkable hitter and
stood right around the top of the cir
cult all the time in the batting aver
ages and fielding alike. His work for
Reading was so good that it won a
trlal for him with the Washington
club, in the American League, but for
some reason or other he fell off in his
strongest point, hitting, and was sent
" oeiseS lily. Alter lHat SrOOke Went
to Bridgeport and Albany. He recently
decided to drop out of professional ball
and take steady, all-year job which
was offered him. However, his love
OF the game is such that he has not
broken away from it entirely, and he
still finds time to play.
Zannelli, while he hardly had as good
a professional record as Crooke. played
some mighty fine ball. He was a star
in the old Union League before it went
to the wall, and for teams in the South
Atlantic and North Carolina circuits he
starred at bat and in the field.
These men can still play ball, and play
ball mighty well. In fact, better per
formers in their positions are not found
often.
-Four games are scheduled for this
afternoon in the amateur leagues. The
Phi Mu Sigma nine goes against the
Columbus in,the Rosedale circuit; Steel
Plant meets Bureau in the Potomac or
ganization; Aggies play State, War and
Navy in the Government. and Fifth
meets Second Baptist in the East
Washington Sunday school body. Not
one of the teams listed is leading in

DETROIT, July 2s-Every one Of the
three games which the Griffnen have lost
here could have been won had the fielding
been clean But clean work in the field
seems no longer to be virtue of the
team There was a time when the de-
Tense of the Griffmen was one of the
strongest in the league. but of late the
fielding has been very weak, and while
the hitting has been strong enough to
warrant victories in the last three games
these have been defeats simply because
the fielding has not been up to the stand
ard.
NcS. the Griffmen are in a position
that if the Tigers make it a clean-sweep
by annexing the final game today the
team from the National Capital will be
pushed to the sixth hole
Harper will, in all likelihood, be used
today and Coveleskie, whom the Griff-
men seldom beat. will be his opponent.
There is a good chance of the Tigers
making clean-sweep of the series un-
les- the Nationals take a brace and play
a whole lot better ball.
Sam Crawford has slowed up a whole
lot, t.ere is no doubt of that but he has
likely that Manager Jennings will bench

two singles, only the last of which cut

Kavanash had been sent to bat for Har-
per- whom Boehling had previously fan
ned and when Kavanagh also famed Ty
had TO get into the game. He played left
field for one inning and then took his old
place in center and sent Heilman to left.
In the eighth inning Boehling and Nor
gan both singled to center and Boehling
kept right on for third. Cobb threw to
Witt. but was too late to head off Boeh-
ling but Witt shot the ball to Young at
second in time to retire Morgan and an
other rally went glfmmering.
Sam Rice drew a walk the first time up
and struck out once. On the two other
occasions he failed to get a safety Sam
is having a little slump but he has proved
himself a hitter and is sure to come back
again with a vengeance.
Charity has not failed to hit in any of
his games here. and in each one of them
he has had two-base wa1lop. He got
two hits yesterday, and the final one
bounced off the left field fence. The for
mer Minneap polls catcher is mighty dan
gerous hitter and it is not at all unlikely
that if Joe Judge gets back in harness
Charity will do a lot of the catching.
There is not chance of any one except
Judge taking his job at first base, as he
is fielding well.

pitched good ball for the Printers, but

six runs for the opposing club. The

was little difference in the work OF
Grady and Bennett. Bennett allowed

Grady was batted safely only four
times and seven men also went down
on strikes before his offerings
Stringer, Notwithstanding that he
made two errors, did some very credit

There were only two extra base drives,
Bathgens of the Printers getting one
and Frazier of Rosedale the other.
Both were two-base blows.

a pitchers battle. Each allowed but two
hits and Barrett famed seven and Law

Their hurting was so alright that neither

The Treasury team won another easy
victory in the Government League, beat
