YANKEES ONLY TWO GAMES
 BEHIND LEAGUE LFADE1

New York, July S.-The lead of the Cleveland American worlds champions is being cut down rapidly by the onrushing New York Yankees, while the Pittsburgh National league leaders appear to be gathering up speed for their eastern in- vasion this week. The Indians won to- day and are only two games ahead of the Yankees, who did not play. The Pirates dropped a game to Cincinnati today but are playing their Lest bN since regain ing the leadership frofh New York in early June.
 In the American league New Forks strong pitching should aid it in the chase after Cleveland, which is kept in first place principally through heavy hitting. The Yankees have not called upon a re- lief pitcher in any of the past 10 games, including those lost. The Indians were forced to use Mails frequently last week
 Washington, with a record of scoring only one run in each of it's past five games, is threatened by the climbing De- troit team. which has recovered from it's costly slump. The Tigers held the Cleve- land leaders even in the series ended to- day. Boston is getting fair pitching but lost four straight to New York because of weak hitting. St. Louis is batting well but the Brown pitchers are ineffective
 
 hard. The Philadelphia boxmen have been doing splendid pitching. The Ath- letics took four games out of five from Washington in the series ended today.
 Unsettled weather prevented New York and Boston from attempting to keep pace with Pittsburgh. A double victory over the Braves today put New York four and one-half games behind the Pirates. The Pirate pitchers went well against the western clubs but will have to dispose oi St. Louis this week before tackling the eastern teams. St. Louis and Brooklyn have struck a winning stride again. The Superbas scored nine victories in their past Il games. The Chicago, Cincinnati and Philadelphia pitchers have been hi hard Until today the Reds were trou bled by light batting. The Quakers, fol the fourth straight week, won only one ot | their games.

CARPENTER WILL NOT
 RETIRE FROM RING

Manhasset, N. Y, July 3.-By The A. | P)-Georges Carpentier will not retire from the ring as result of his defeat | by Dempsey. He will fight any man in the world excepting the champion who he admits is his superior. This statement l was made today by Francois Descamps, | the Frenchman's manager.
 'ru admit, too," added Descamps, | that Jack Dempsey is Che greatest heavyweight who ever lived. But I'll claim that my Georges comes next. Demp- sey was too heavy and too powerful for Georges. We will not seek return match. What we want now is a challenge for the worlds lightweight title, which Georges holds by virtue of his victory over Levinsky."
 That broken bone in Georges' right hand was set today and he aid it felt
 much better althuogh it was still swoll-
 en and unframed. The only other mark
 of any conseuuence is a cut under the
 left eve about two inches in length. The
 physician said it would be healed in several days Georges said he was very tired and that he would rest for four or five days. He read several newspaper accounts of the fight and expressed his delight at the favorable comment on his part of it.
 'I feel glorifed even in defeat" he smiled, ''to think that I did what l want ed to do-show lem that I was game"
 ''We would like to get match with l. Bill Brennan or Tom Gibbons Des- l camps said The doctor says that Georges hand will be all right with care
 full nursing. We remain here in Man hasset for a while Georges will keep in shape and will be ready if challenged.
 Tt was, of course, an unfortunate thing that Carpenter broke his hand in the second round yesterday. He might have gone on and defeated the chamnion, but the chances are that the result would have been the same. only it would have
 come later in the fight.
 Georges suffered an injury to his hand two weeks ago while boxing with Joe Jeanette and it may have been this that
 caused it to snap yesterday. After the workout with Jeanette that day he told
 us he had hurt his hand but asked us to keep it quiet. He said if the newspaper
 men learned of it, people would say he was preparing an alibi. It was for this
 reason that he started secret training. Carpenter. through his comrades. told l his story of the fight this afternoon while l resting on the front porch. He had been instructed by Wilson and Descamps to | be way and let Dempsey force the | battle. but just before the opening l bell. he said to them:
 ''The American people have been told | that I was a game and coura geous fight l CT. I must fight. Watch me"
 When he came to his corner after the | first round he told them .that every one ! of Dempsey's blows had hurt
 "Then keep away from him. they say l they told him.
 Never. I must fight with every ounce
 of power within me- he replied, as he
 rushed to the center of the ring. During the second round Carpenter
 said he hit Dempsey with three right
 hooks and three right upparcuts and | that all his power was behind them.

 NOONAN IN PITCHERS DUEI

Tn a hattie of southpaws Taylor, the new Ashland hurler trirmphed over Noon an of Roy Rocks All Stars, Sunday at Jewett City.
 The smallest crowd of the season turn ed out and the game proved to be one of the best ever played at Ashland Park
 Leclaire, Ashland's leadoff man, con- nected for a home run to right in the first inning and that ended the scoring.
 In the seventh, Ashland lost a chance to score when with Chase on third and one out a squeeze play failed, the hitter failing to connect.

PARIS PRESS AND PUBLIC
 LOYAL TO CARPENTER

Paris. July (By A. P)-The su- periority of Jack Dempsey worlds heavyweight boxing champion over Georges Carpenter, the French idol, was accepted frankly by the newspapers today The press and public. however, remain loyal to Carpentier, who still is lauded as a great fighter who went against a stone wall"
 The newspapers all adopt q light tone and refuse to treat the French champions defeat as national callam- ity, LOeuvre saying: '"The Americans win with Dempsey, and the British with Lemonora, but we still hold the cham pionship of Verdun." (Lmonora, and English colt owned by J. Watson won the Grand Prix De Paris on Sunday last).
 The usual rumor, which unfaflingiy has been in circulation here after each big championship fight, to the effect that the defeated fighter was dead, spread throughout Paris this morning andthe Associated Press telephone was kept busy denying the rumor
 There was one feature of the fight on which all thirty-two of the Paris news papers agreed, namely. that each was the first to give Paris the news of the | fight result
 French interest in the bout was indi- cated by columns of the French page space as compared with a brief and al. most perfqnctory announcement of the returns of Madame Curie, the eminent scientist, with the gram of radfurn pre- sented by American women, which had been expected to be a great occasion.
 In its comment the Temps says | When Carr rentier knocked out Toe Beckett and Bombardfer wer1s we did not believe at that time 1t was revenge for Waterloo. We fail to see why the fact that Dempsey slowed away our champion should be cause for nation al 2 Elournfng.'

 bring the result will stiil be the same. The hammer throwe1s of the K of C.. such as Mckay; Hanlon and Kelle- her and Comerford. will drive terror in to the representatives of Sloopville Tim Coughlin, the new first baseman, can certainly cover the bag and when he unties his bag of hickorys it's time for the enemy to use their return tickets. The old reliable Kelleher will be back in left and Wik will cover center, and Standish right. The man that beats a throw home from any of these men will have to be a fast man.

 PAY DURING R. R. STRIKE

 The lost time claims made by the Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Station Employees, contended that the clerks national agreement provides for six days work per week and that the employees who were required to suspend work during the period of the strike should be reimbursed for all time lost
 The carriers contended that they had right to reduce forces when conditions justified and that the employees in ques- ton were laid of from six to eight days each at a time when no one could an ticipate how long they would be out of service. The carriers also contended that at the time the national agreement was negotiated the conditions which obtained in Aprn, 1920, were neither foreseen TOT provided for. by any specific provision thereof.

both Brady and Cochran withdrew and left Rickard to promote the affair alone.
 Rickard tonight reiterated his inten- tion of using the Jersey City arena for one or more championship bouts between now and the first of November. He said that he had no definite idea regarding the contests which he would put on but was considering several bouts.
 The splendid showing made by Car pentier against Dempsey has already resulted in talk of other bouts for the French pugilist, the most attractive of which is proposed meeting between Carpenter and Tom Gibbons of St. Paul. Rickard stated that he thought such a match would be an excellent drawing card in view of the fact that the boxers were about equally matched in both skill and physique.

The third game of the nve-same series between the Norwich K. of c. and the Putnam Braves was won by the latter at Wildwood park Sunday afternoon, when they defeated the Kaceys to f.
 The heat was intense when the game started and the Kaceys seemed to take a liking to this heat by pounding the ball all over the lot in the first two innings, scoring two runs in each inning. The Kaceys failed to score after that.
 The errors of the Norwich players, combined with the Braves hits, easily made the Putnam players even up the score.
 In the third, with the Kaceys four runs to the good. Berry, the Putnam pitcher, was hit by a pitched ball and was ad- vanced to third on Hughes two bagger. Berry reached home when Hart hit to right field, Wik fiielded the ball and threw home to catch Hughes, but the ball went wild.
 In the fourth Putnam got another run when Hughes knocked out his second double and was advanced to third on Keegans error and went home when Gaudette lost the ball in the sun.
 Another run was scored in the seventh when Hughes singled, was sacrificed tc third and was brought home when Com. merford singled.
 Putnam scored the winning runs in th< eighth by four singles, one base on ballG and two infield outs
 The feature of the game was the play ing of Hughes, who figured in gettini every run, hitting two doubles, one sin gle, and walked cnce, in the four big in nings.
 Commerford completed two sensationa assists in nRbbing two pretty bunts t first
 The K. of c. will use the same lineu in todays game, with the exception tha Standish will be in right field and Com merford at third, against New London.
