MORAN'S BREAK DOWN
CUB DEFENSE; RIXEY
IN EXCELLENT FORM

CINCINNATI, July 25.-With Rixey
hurting in championship form and re-
ceiving excellent support, the Moran
outfit broke down the Cub defense
early in the game and came through
on the long end of a seven to one
count. The. Reds played very fast
ball behind the effective pitching of
Rixey and the playing of Bohne and
Crane. around second base was note
worthy. They gathered in many diff
ficult grounders and were their with
some timely hits.
Duncan also contributed some hard
hitting during the contest, connecting
for two hard hit drives that netted
him three bases on each occasion,
with a man on base
Can't Break Through.
Rixey's pitching left nothing to be
desired He was scored on in the first
frame. but after that he set up an
invincible defense In the last eight
innings, not Cub player reached third
base and only few got as far as
second. A wild pitch in the first
round was the only mistake the big
left handler made during the game.
He allowed the Cubs only six scattered
hits and did not give base on balls.
Possible chances for the Cubs to
score in the third and fourth rounds
were cut off by fast double plays
executed from Crane to Daubert.

WRANGLE over FILMS
OF HISTORIC CLASH
fBv Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, July 25.-Tex Richard,
promoter of the July fight between
Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpenter
in Jersey City, and F. c. Quimby, mo-
ton picture producer, were summon
ed to appear before the federal grand
jury today to testify concerning the
alleged transportation of movies OF
the fight into this state from New Jer-
sey in violation of federal law.
Mr. Richard has declared he knows
nothing of the transportation of the
pictures or of plans to show them
here. Mr. Quimby also has denied any
part in their transportations, though
admitting plans to exhibit them. His
contention is that the federal law pro-
hibiting interstate transportation OF
pictures of a prize fight does not ap-
ply to the Dempsey-Carpentier bout as
that historic sporting event was box
ing match and not a prize fight.
Several hundred persons attracted
by advertisements and electric signs
atop a theatre, announcing first show
ing of the fight pictures last night,
found the box office dark and were un-
able to gain any information as to
when the actual showing would take
place.
1t was pointed out by some attor-
neys that no offense could be shown
under the federal law unless the pic
lures allegedly transported from New
Jersey were given public exhibition.
The only showing of the pictures in
New York so far has been private
exhibitions at the Fox Hills and Poyl
clinic hospitals for the amusement OF
disabled soldiers.

GIANTS GOING after
PITTSBURGH'S LEAD
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, July 25.-The New
York Nationals try again to wipe out
part of the three-game lead of the
Pittsburgh National league leaders.
High scores featured the series in
New York last week in which the Pr
ates were held TO an even break, but
the alright pitching by the Pittsburgh
twirlers in the Boston series promise
lower scores in the Giant-Pittsburgh
series in Pittsburgh. The probable
twirlers for today are Toney OF New
York and Adams of Pittsburgh.
The same margin of less than
game separated the Cleveland Amer
lean Worlds champions from their
New York pursuers as was the case
before the two clubs started their
series ending in an even break yester-
day They will renew the struggle IN
New York next Saturday.
Fifteen two-base hits, two three-bas-
gers and one home run were included
in the 35 base hits made in yesterdays
Washington-Detroi contest.
Rice of the Senators batted triple,
three double and single in six times
at bat. Heilman of the Tigers made
three doubles and a single.
All four of the New York National
runs were batted in by First Baseman
Kelly, who in addition to making his
sixteenth home run of the season, hit
a double and a single. The homer
was his third in three days.
Babe Ruth is the first major Lacquer
TO pass the century mark in runs. Yes
terday he tailed his Tooth and 101st
runs.
The winning streak of the st. Louis
Americans ended yesterday at eight
straight victories when Jones of Bos-
ton held the Browns TO six hits. The
Browns will be without the services
of its star first baseman Sisler, who
has been indefinitely suspended for
an alteration with an umpire.

ELDORADO'S PITCHER
IS UNABLE TO stop
HARD HITTING EAGLES

A combination of ragged fielding by
the Eldorado hopefuls and some slug
ging by the Eagles in the sixth inning
of Sundays contest at Exhibition park
turned a perfectly good ball game into
romp for the local aggregation and
after eight and one-half innings or
play the Eagles emerged with the long
end of to count.
Some tailor-made pitching by the
Eagle standby, Russ Hawekotte, kept
the Eldorado representatives from
seriously threatening the Birds strong
hold. Hawekotte had his customary
good control and got better with the
advance of the game. He even went
so far as to take upon himself the
retirement of the last three Eldorado
batters by the strike-out route.
Touch Larson.
Larson, Eldorado pitcher who halls
from Dayton, failed to get by the
locals in the same manner as when
he took the mound for the Farmland
aggregation earlier in the season, and
the local sluggers touched him for
nine hits, most of them coming at
! timely places where runs resulted.
The fourth inning was nightmare
for Eldorado. The Eagles batted
around and started over again before
three men could be retired
Byrket, Eagle first-sacker, took pity
| on Larson and struck out for the first
time in several games making the
