An account of yesterdays contest
would not be complete unless one
is the hitting of Bennett. He was
at bat four times, secured a run and
raped out three safe hits. He bat
ted in two of the runs and on the
bases he looked like Ty Cobb in

fielded his position in faultless style.

solutely unhittable, but after Wilson
had begun hostilities in the first by
scoring five runs he could afford to

accounts for the eight hits he al

PORTS-BARRLNGTON MEETS BLANQUE HERE HONDA AYSPORTS
Heauyweight Battles For
 This Fall Are Tottering

that is the inference to be drawn from Descamps' silence.
 Just now the Frenchman is in high favor in Paris. That news was re- ceived in letter which came in today from the Gay Burg written by Horny dime. who is over there looking Into the financial possibilities of European boxing. Horny says that Carp lives like secluded prince in his palatial house, and charges the equivalent of thousand dollars in francs to sally forth and show himself at a boxing bout or at some public gathering.
 Corp Is Wise
 His courage in trying to win pres tige for France by going up against the great American man. killer has made him more of a hero in Paris than ever. He knows just how good Gibbons is He also knows that he would stand a good chance of another beating were he to meet him. Why should he take that chance He would he a busted flush in Paris were he to fall before the Minnesotan, and if he beat Gibbons it would be no more than was expected of him.
 We will know all about 1t soon Tor Tex Rickard has Just sent very UT gent cable which is so worded as to necessltate an answer.
 As to Dempsey and Brennan. Rick ard says he has been feeling the ptn- lic pulse and does not believe that go between the two men would pc popular. Rickard Is some pulse ar list. If he can't sense the attractive ness of a bout, it's a cinch there Is no attractiveness to sense. So 1t IS 1t1xalv as the writer already has said. that if Floyd Fitzsimmons wants the bout for Benton Harbor on Labor Day, he will not have to bid against Rickard.
 The lambasting which Bryan Dow ney administered to Johnny Wilson. former 'middleweight champion, has caused cancellation of the proposed Harry Greb-Wilson bout. Poor Harry He wants to fight anybody and ev- erybody, but doesn't seem to be able to hook on.

Special Correspondent to The Age-Herald. (tCOpyright. 1921. by The Ase-Herild.l
 New York, July 30.-.-There has been a blow-up in the heavyweight fight situation in this vicinity. Metropolitan fight fans were all set for thrilling season running right into October. All sorts of matches were discussed, including a Demp- sey-Brennan go for Labor Day, and a battle between Georges Carpen- tier and Tommy Gibbons in October.
 Now 1t looks as though both matches had gone by the boards. It may surprise a lot of folks to hear that the proposed international com bat between the St. Paul Flash and the Frenchman is teeterlng on the skids. Yet 1t certainly does look that way. Tex Rickard, contrary to gen. eral understanding. never did get Carpenters John Hancock to fight agreement. He merely had a verbal understanding with Descamps and his fighter that they would come back to this country for fight In the fall.
 Gibbons Signs Up
 Rickard looked about him and finally picked Tommy Gibbons as the man. Eddie Kane, Gibbons man ager, signed an agreement for his protege to meet Georges. There Is little doubt that the price Tex agreed to pay was $60,000. As soon as Gib- bons was committed. Rickard cabled to Descamps In Paris. acquainting him with the good news That was three weeks ago.
 Tex thought that by return cable he would receive cheers, congratula- tlons and all sorts of kind words. But did he? You've guessed it: He did not. He received nary a word. Ab solute silence from the banks of the Seine. Evidently, Carpenter can't see the fight at all, at all. Any way,

GIazner Has Made" Pitching Staff, While Schmidt and MaranviIIe Popped Up the lnfieId, Says Corbett
By JAMES ]. CORBETT tCOpyrIght, 1921, by King Feature
 Syndicate Incl.


 The natives of Pittsburg, which is in the commonwealth of Penn sylvania, already are making prep arations for the housing of world series crowd. And not without cause.
 The Pirates, playing faultless base ball in every department, have swept beyond the half season mark with a comfortable lead over their nearest opposition. They seem to have only the Giants to whip. The Braves have come along in splendid fashion through six weeks, but apparently lack the wallop necessary to pound their way alongside the Pirates
 It was the thought in many parts until few weeks ago that the Buc- cancers were playing beyond them selves. But that is not true. The team is nearly air-tight on defense. powerful on attack and seems to pos sess the courage and the stamina necessary for a stirring race into the October stretch.
 GIazner Made" staff
 The acquisition of "Whitey' Glaz- ner, youngster from Birmingham, just about made" the pitching staff. The team needed youngster who could go out and flash brilliant and consistent work. Glazner's showing has been the most sensational in either league.

 Just the other day Wflbert Robin son. among the greatest catchers of all time, and now leader of the Dodgers, said;
 Praise for Schmidt
 One of the very biggest reasons why the Pirates are going so well and why they'll be almost impossible to beat is Schmitty. He is about the smartest catcher in the league. He is a tireless worker. He knows how to handle pitchers as few catchers know the job, and he is certainly get ting 100 per cent work out of every singer on the Pirate pay roll. If Schmitty isn't injured or removed from the game by any other cause through tne rest Oi lut SGdSOilt lt looks to me like cinch for the Pi- artes to win"
 What schmidt has done for the in- field Maranville has done for the rest of the team. The diminutive veteran has popped" up the entire ball club. The infield has become lightning fast because of the pace set by Maranvile. The outfleld has speeded up itself to measure stride with the infield, and the whole club is playing tremendously and smooth ly and with the never say die" spirit that triumphs in every sort of battle.

It would be necessary for their nearest rivals to win six straight while the Pirates were losing six straight be- fore they were pushed from league
