HOLDS CHAMPIONSHIP
OF BANTAMWEIGHTS

NEW YORK, July 26.-"Pete" Her
man. of New Orleans, regained the
worlds bantamweight championship
at Ebbets field Monday night by re-
ceiving the judges decision over Joe
Lynch, of New York, after 15-round
bout. Herman, staging a sensational
comeback, had the better of Is rounds,
one was even and the other went to
Lynch. Both fighters weighed 1854
pounds The New Orleans boy forced
the fighting from the opening bell.
He worked his right and left effec-
lively and Lynch's frequent sallies
found him ready to mix. Lynch
claimed that he injured two fingers of
his right hand in the fourth round.
One of Few to "Come Back"
Herman is one of the few fighters
to regain a lost championship. STAN
ley Ketchel. after being knocked out
by Billy Papke, returned the favor in
a later bout for the middleweight
championship. Jack Britton and Ted
Lewis have alterna tely held the well
terweight title.
Lynch is the third champion Her.
man has defeated this year. He
knocked out Jimmy Wilde, English
! flyweight champion, in London last
winter. and only two weeks ago he
| floored Jem Higgins, the English ban
tamweight champion, in II rounds.
After the bout Herman's admirers
| swarmed into the ring to felicitate
him. They carried him on their shout
ders to his dressing room.

Babe Ruth delighted Cincinnati
baseball fans by clouting out two
home runs in an exhibition game be-
tween the Cincinnati Nationals and
New York Americans Monday. Ruth
hit one over the centerfield fence IN
the fifth inning with the bases full,
this being the first time this feat had
ever been accomplished. The other
four base clout went into the right
field bleachers on the fly, which was
another record for Redland field.
Emil Meusel, captain of the Phila-
delphia National league team, was
traded to New York Monday for Curtis
Walker, outfielder. and Walter Hen

last week by Manager Donovan of the
Phillies for Indifferent playing, and
since has not played in regular
game.
Henline was purchased by the
Giants from Indianapolis at the close
of last season and made the training
trip with the Giants. He was later
turned back to the Indianapolis team
subject to recall.

knows what to do-and does it."
Whats his name?" inquired Flynn.
Works in Daytime.
Bill Brennan. He used to be sheet
metal worker. And guess he still is"
answered Smith. He works at the
sheet metal trade in the daytime and
fights at night, whenever he gets a
chance"
Upon his return to New York Flynn
got into communication with Brennan.
He told Brennan that if Bill was not
hooked up to any managerial contract,
he would like to handle his affairs and
bring him on to New York. Brannan
replied that fight in New York
ring had been his chief ambition, but
he was a bit skeptical as far as sue
cess was concerned. He modestly in
formed Flynn that he was still con-
siderable of a dub.
Flynn sent Brennan the money for a
one-way ticket. Bill was about to make
the trip when his mother took sick.
He wired Flynn that he couldn't go
to New York and he stayed home with
his mother and attempted to nurse her
through an illness which soon after
ward proved fatal. Afterward. Bren-
nan, broken-hearted over the loss OF
his best friend, decided to stay out of
the fight game and went back to work
! exclusively in the sheet metal trade.
Fight Game is Good.
! But some months later Flynn wired
him that the fight game was booming
in New York and that heavyweights
were drawing cards He Influenced
| Brennan to change his mind and again
sent him ticket money to make the
"trip to New York. And Bill hoped a
choo-choo-and New York was his
destination.
Brennan's first opponent was Ell
| Stanton, not much of warrior in the
way of science but Tough, rough indi
vidual who had STAYED off some of the
good battlers through 1916. Flynn haC
secured for Brennan a guarantee O.
$40 for the 10-round fight with the
privilege of gate receipt percentage
! Il certainly was a scared bird wher
| climbed into that ring" related
Brennan. Il had heard so much abou
New York and the critical fight crowd:
there that | was nearly stiff will

After the battle was over, Flynn
went to Brennan and said:

Chips and Slips

when Pat Moran said recently, as
he was quoted as saying, that the real
bulwark of the Pittsburgh team was
Walter Schmidt he spoke the truth.
Schmidt is great catcher, one of the
greatest the game ever has seen, and
his heart is in his work every minute
of every game he plays. An instance
of the spirit which Schmidt carries
into action with him was seen in a
recent game with the Giants. Frisch
raised a high foul back of the plate
and in the general direction of the
Pirates bench. That Schmidt didn't
have a chance to get it didn't stop
him from trying for it. The ball came
down in field box between the press
coop and the Pirate dugout, but it
landed just few inches from
Schmidt's finger tips, for he plunged
head downward into the Enclosure for
the pellet, risking his neck in the
effort to make put out.
Charlie Grimm, best fielding first
; baseman in the National League, made
good with the Pirates after he had
failed to make good in his home town
st. Louis. Just few years ago Grimm
sold pop and peanuts in the Cardinals
! park and played with a semi-pro team
whenever he could get a Saturday OF
! Sunday off. He used to spend his
! mornings at the ball park, practicins
constantly, and soon made name fol
himself as a skillful fielder.
The Cardinals were in need of play
ers, and Jack Hendricks, then man
ager Of the team, gave Grimm 6
chance. The kid did very well fol
one of such limited experience, bu
didn't quite measure up to the major
league standard, and was released t

League. For some reason ST. Loui:

He didn't hit very much last season

When Mike Gibbons was looked UP
on as the best middleweight in tn
country he used to say that his young

MAHER MEATS FAIL

Inability of the Maher Meats to hit
Pitcher Durham of the Bakers cost
the Meats a game in the Commercial
league Monday afternoon at Exhibit
ton park by the score of to 0. The
Meats threatened to score several
times. but the necessary punch was
lacking
Durham was in fine form and al
lowed the hard-hitting Meats only two
blows and gave only one pass. Sew
eral times the Meats threatened to
score, but Durham applied the brakes
and held them scoreless.
The Meats were handicapped con-
siderably because several of the regu-
lar players were absent from the line
up.
The Bakers scored their first rus
in the third inning when Chris and
Griswell singled Vosmeier flied out
to Byrkett for the first out. The
bases were loaded when Brykett
mussed up Fry's grounder Chris was
thrown out at home on Patterson's
tap to Byrkett With the bases still
loaded, Maher passed Ecker, forcing
Griswell over with the first tally.

Their second tally came in the sixth
frame on two passes, two fielders
choices and an error. The Bakers
runs were both unearned runs.
The Meats staged a rally in the

BABE RUTH PERFORMS
FEATS YEARNED FOR
DURING LAST DECADE

CINCINNATI, o., July 26.-"Babe"
Ruth, the greatest long driver in the
history of the national pastime,
showed his real class to more than
$4,000 fans at Redland field. Monday
afternoon, when he poled two homo
runs to vast distances never before
negotiated by any ball player. In the
fifth inning. with the bases full. he
smashed the pillet over the center field
into Western avenue. In the seventh
round, with one man ahead of him,
he hit another into the corner of the
yeats, in right field. close to center
field. His tremendous hitting power
made close game out of what would
have been walk-over for the Reds,
who finally won out by the count of
to s.
The great slugger, whose fame drew
the enormous crowd to the yard,
made some baseball history with his
two mighty wallops. Both of these
were record breakers for Redland field
now in the tenth year of it's existence
in its present form and size. No other
hitter has so much as collided with
the center field fence on the fly, and
no. other ball was ever driven into
the right field bleachers, except on
the bound.
Accomplshes Feats.
BY driving the ball over the center
field fence and into the bleachers he
accomplished what National league
sluggers have been trying to do for
10 years without any success. The
big Bambino" comes along and &C
complishes the seemingly impossible
in single game and the first time
he ever played on the grounds.
Cincinnati started the scoring early
pushing four runs over the pan in thc
first on clean hitting and added three
more in the second. Only one regular
infielder was in the Yankee lineup
and he played only two innings. Had
the regular team been in the game
the score might have been different

NEW YORK. July 26.-The transfer
of Emil Irish" Meusel, hard hitting
Philadelphia National outfielder to the
Giants, announced last night, adds an
other chapter to the series of ex-
changes between New York and Phila-
delphia clubs this season.
In the trade New York gave the
