Then came Fitzsimmons. He was a

and had him down at Carson City and
there were other fights in which he just

BIG JEFF TOOK
MUCH PUNISHMENT.
"Jeffries was easy to hit by most every
man he ever met In Frisco when he
fought Fitz the second time his head was
as big as a barrel Both his eyes were
closed; his mouth was cut and his face
on the right side was swollen all out of
proportion. Corbett hit him countless
times at Coney Island, but Jim's punch
was gone. 1t was Jeff's great physique
and ability to take it that made him
champion.
Willard was another mark to shoot at.
He was big but was easy to hit. He had
taken many a punch on the chin before
Dempsey. mussed him up at Toledo.
Now we get down to Dempsey. He,
too, has been hit in all his fights, but
then, he can take it. He doesn't seem

DISPLACEMENT
CUT FOR RACE
HERE IN 1928
122 Cubic Inch Jobs Ordered
by Speedway Heads for
Year After Next.
SMALLEST MOTORS MADE

T. z Myers, secretary and manager OF
the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Com
pany. today announced that the 1928 race
on the famous track would be for cars
powered with engines having q maximum
piston displacement OF Id cubic inches
Translated into European terms this is
two Itres. The 1922 5oO-mile race. the
tenth annual event. will be for three htre
cars, or engines OF 1913 cubic inches the
same size as the 1920 and l9Zl cares
This is the fifth time that the Indian
apolis track has reduced the engine sizes
for the cars competing IN the nYe-cen-
fury which Is the classic OF the WorId :
speed events. Onhand, such reductions
would seem 10 reduce the speed OF the
cars but such is not the case. The auto
motive engineers always have been able
TO obtain more speed. in fact, by speed
ing up the engines and lengtnenlng tne
stroke of the motor, which Is TO say that
the diameter Of the cylinders Is reduced
The 1928 race will have engines smaller
than anything now built in America The
smallest engined car today in production
is q four cylinder, measuring 1431 The
Ford engine is near the 1o3 maximum
Such reductions have always ben reflected
in she stock production Of the American
makers. The ''crucible OF racing has
proved to the satisfaction Of the engineers
that fuel economy could be enected by
reducing the engine sizes In the last
race the average cars mileage was ten
miles 10 the gallon. Two years hence II
should pass the twelve mile mark.
The efficiency Of the two-lltre engine
was demonstrated recently in the French
economy Grand Prix at lie Mans, where
De Dion BoutOn of this class showed
1900 miles TO the gallon in stock test
Other than the announcement or the
engine limitations, no specifications have
been made public.

NEW YORK. July 6-Figuring the

to look like both the major league pen4
nants are lin"
The Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cleve-
land Indians, close to the middle OF tbs
season, seem to be almost sure winners
! IN the two races
Both clubs are going along playing
steady easy ball, taking the breaks well
and getting the lest out of their talent
George Gibson has been getting good
pitching all season and his club is play
ing great defensive game, as well as
packing good punch in the pinches.
The worlds champion Cleveland Indf-
ans have been leading the league just be-
cause they possess the stuff Of which
champions are made.
Iris Speaker has had lot of bad luck
al season. His leading pitchers-CoveI-
eskie, Bagby and Mails, who ought to

getting away, and he had a tough break
to overcome in the accidents that de-

The Yankees. possessing the greatest
wealth of material in the major leagues

has a great ball team except for his
catching department and three or four
pitchers.
He has the great Babe Ruth and a lot
Of prima donnas. Babe wins a game
now and then with a homer. Wally
Schang, who ordinarily ought to be
first-class catcher, has been no better
than the relegated Truck Hannah.
The Boston Braves are proving the
surprise of Il 2 National circuit and the
Cardinals, after getting away to a bad
start, are roun ding into some of the form
that was predicted for them before the
start of the season
Washington goes right along in the
American League, winning games, and

the genial boss of the visitors predicted
that his team would give the Millers
plenty of opposition, regardless of han
dicaps.
While in Chicago yesterday most Of
the Tribe members hurried out to a
bathing beach in an effort to cool off.
The Indians nearly were suffocated by
the heat in Louisville and during the
night ride from Louisville to Chicago.
Eddie Sticking suffered greatly, but he
apparently was back in proper tune to-
day. Eddie has been showing great bat
ting Improvement and he doesn't want to
miss any games while he has his eye on
the ball.
The Indians visit the four western cities
before again returning home. While the
heat wave is on in Indiana, the athletes
are satisfied to remain up in this coun-
try, where the nights are cool.
Fred Watson, Marion (Tnd) catcher. is
with the team in the capacity Of emer-

The club is in need of a utility in
