When Rally Gets Under
Way These Days It's Long
Way Before Sd Out Comes
BY SID MERCER.

NEW YORK July 16.-Your Uncle
, Wilbert Robinson hoped into Yankee
headquarters for chat with his old
friend, Col Til Huston. There he en-
countered a flock Of iuterviewers. 1t
wasn't long until some one cornered him
with the query, What's the matter with
baseballT"
You can search me-" Robinson re-
sponded. Il didn't know there was any
thing wrong with baseball, but there's
something wrong with THE baseball or
else pitching has become q lost art. Have
you noticed how many games run along
score and then suddenly the pitching
goes blooey2 / can't understand 81. If
it's the lively ball, how do pitchers get
by 30 the early part Of the game?
"A feature of ball games that has i'm
pressed me more than anything else is
the inability Of pitchers, good pitchers
too. to hold lat leads In the late stages
I'll he other day Carl Mays blew an
eiEht-run lead over tine White Sox. Or
dinarily you would BET million TO one
that q team Ike the SoV could not spot
a pitcher Ike Mays that many runs.
Pitchers complain about the ball. What
ever IS TO blame, We know that when
team starts hammering a pitcher It Is
long way TO that third out.
Until this season managers seldom
worried when a good pitcher got into
trouble as long as he held three OF four
runs in the bank Now &c IS different
The minute a rally starts, out 20 the
reserves 70 warm up.
Managers hare 70 show lack Of CON
fdnce In a good pitcher For this rea-
son many Of them are permitted 70 stay
in there and take their beatingg."

CONFER OVER
GIBBONS BOUT

NEW YORK. July 16.-Tex Richard
was expected to clinch the Carpenter
GIBBONS match today.
The champion promoter and Eddie
Kane, manager of the st. Paul boxer
were to meet this afternoon for final
conference.
Richard, it seems, is not just sure when
he wants to stage the match and where,
and this uncertainty is holding up the
signing Of the articles. The original plan
was to stage the contest on Labor day
but the Frenchman's hand may not be
well then. Columbus day is the next best
date, but Richard is a little bit sketptical
about the early October weather.
Kane said today that he was not going
TO make any prohibitive demands for
Gibbons and that he was willing to make
the match Just as soon as Richard de-
cided what he wanted.
Bill Brennan, Harry Greb and others
are putting in bid now for the next
crack at the Frenchman. Greb claims
that he has beaten Gibbons in three or
four towns, but his home papers from
Pittsburgh do not back up his state
ments.
Jack Kearns called on Richard today,
but after the conference he said there
was nothing to report. The manager OF
the worlds champion said he was chiefly
interested now in the pictures of the
recent heavyweight championship bill
that are being shown in New Jersey and
that he is not bothering the champion.
Dempsey Will be back In New York in a
couple Of weeks he said.
Wed like to get some more work,
but there are no opponents In sight right
now" Kearns said.

HOLSTERS HOPE
FOR GAIN OVER
THE WEEK END
Hustling Indians Set Back
Slightly in Series Opener
at X. G..
HOME RUNS DO IT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. July 16.-Having
lost the opening game of the series with
the long hitting X. c. Blues, the Indians
today were hopeful of starting a week
end drive that would regain the ground
lost by the defeat at st. Paul Wednes-
day and here Friday.
In todays scheduled skirmtsh Man
ager Hendricks planned to use Pug
Cavet on the mound He has had good
rest, for in his last start he retired
early. Ralph SINNERS still had
bruised arm today as a result Of being
hit twice by pitched balls yesterday and
there was some doubt of the speed boy
getting into the fray this afternoon.
Two home-run clouts by Blue sluggers
enabled the locals to nose out the In
dams yesterday, to 6. ROgge and Lam
bert hooked up on the mound and they
were about even in effectiveness How
ever the Blues managed to grab off the
longer hitI and that fact knocked off the.
Hoosiers. Paskert and Scott were the
boys to deliver the four-ply smacks.
Scott got three singles in addition to his
home run.
Walter Rehg led the Indian attack
with a triple and three singles. Rube
Lutzke, former Indian, now with tho
Blues, horned in with a triple in the
sixth that helped along what proved to
be the winning rally for the Blues.

Evans Sixth Time
to Play in Finals
of Western Tourney
Chick the FGUOrite to Cop
Top HOnOTS at Vest
naOFeLdEd.

CHICAGO, July 16-For the sixth
time In twelve years Charles (Chick)
Evans, national amateur golf champion,
was ready today to fight for the Western
open amateur title when he meets Rudy
Knepper, Iowa State champion, in the
final round of the Western amateur
championship tournament at Westmore-
land.
Because Of his long experience in tour
nament play, Evans was regarded as the
probable winner of today's struggle.
Knepper had played six days of hard
fought golf in the Iowa State meet just
before the present tournament opened,
and Evans accordingly was regarded as
the fresher of the two.
Evans came through a brilliant match
with Harrison (Jim) Johnston Of st. Paul
in the semi final, but Johnston fell down
at the crucial stage of the game In which
he stars. Short shots are Johnston's spe-
cinlty, Lut he missed three short puts on
three successive greens and Evans won
8 to 4.
Knepper defeated George Hartman in
the other half Of the emi-fnal 1t was
the driving skill Of the Sioux City golfer
that was chiefly responsible for his to .
victory.
Knepper and Johnston are tied for low
medal honors of the tournament and will
play of the tie tomorrow morning.
