but in a short time Donovan will
have his regulars back in harness
and the club will be strengthened.
Maisel is due to get back in the game
here, and GiIhoOley will be available
shortly. CullOp may pitch one of
the local games. Frank Baker is i'm
proving rapidly and may compete be-
fore the club gets out of the west.
Even without Speaker the Red Sox
form a difficult combination. The
team has the best pitching in the
league, and there are suggestions of
a punching attack still lurking about.
Washington does not appear so for
midable as the two leaders.
In the extended trip which closed
yesterday at Detroit the Hose made
what is for them a good record, win
ming II games and losing 10. They
return home three and a half games
from the Yanks, the same margin
that separated the two when the
eastern trip was begun. Two victo-
ries in Detroit and four in Philadel-
phia were big factors in this record.
The brightest ray of sunshine is
that eight games are to be played
with the Mackmen in four days, be-
ginning next Saturday. This should
make certain a climb in the percen-
tage column, as Mack is still expert
menting in an effort to hit on a win
ming combination.
WoIfgang and Williams pitched
finely against Detroit yesterday. Two
singles by John Collins and a triple
and single by Ed Collins were the
run-making blows of the battle.
Ness and jackson went hitless.

when facing the crOoked-arm heav-

here were pitiful, and he was tanning

stuff.
Mordecai Brown is slated for an

Rudy Unholz Becomes
Actor in the Movies

Rudy Unholz the Boer light
weight champion, who gained
considerable prominence sew
eral years ago, has joined the
army of movie actors at Los

him to quit boxing.
Something like a year ago Stan
ley Yoakum swatted Unholz
on his Adams apple, and since
that time Rudy has been hit
ting the rought spots along
life's rocky road.
BY paralyzing his Adams apple,
this punch ended Cnholz's ca
reer as a scrapper, injured his
health generally and put his
voice on the "fritz."
In order to regain his health Un-
holz became a day laborer On
the well-known alfalfa ranch
of James J. Jeffries, retired
champion and saloonist de
luxe. For nearly 4 year he toll
ed in obscurity. Recently he
shook the doodle bugs from
his shoes and decided not to
pursue horticulture any fur
ther. He sold his rooster,
bought an alarm clock and
moved into town. Now he's a
real actor!
