ONE COSTLY BOOT
BY K0PF ALLOWS
LEADERS TO TRIUMPH

PITTSBURGH, July 2.-One costly
boot by Larry Kopf opened the way
for the league leaders to score five
runs in the fourth inning and gave
them the victory. But for this bobble
Eppa Rixey would have shut out the
Pirates and the two TALES that the
Reds pushed over would have won
them a game.
Rixey was holding the leaders very
safely until they filled the bases IN
the fourth on Barnhart double and
two passes, one of which was inten'
tional. There were two outs and Nor
rison at bat, who hit a slow roller al
Kopf, who in his anxious effort to
make the play quickly, fumbled the
ball and two players crossed the plate
This was followed by triple by Big
bee and a single by Carey.
Donohue Pitches
Donohue pitched the last two inn
ings for the Reds after RiXey had been
taken out to let a pinch hitter bal
for him. Donohue hurled nice brand
OF ball the last two frames. the Pirates
getting three hits off his delivery anc
did not score a run.
The Reds scored their runs in the
seventh on Groh's single and two
walks filing the bases. Bresslel
forced Wingo at second, Groh scorins
and Roush scored on Duncan's fly tC
Tierney.

JERSEY CITY, N. J., July Jack
Dempsey is going to put on a big
party at the Belmont tonight to cele-
brate the ending of his long training
grind and his expected victory over
Georges Carpenter. provided his ma S
sive jaws come out of today's battle
in good working condition.
at all depends on how the old jaw
is" Dempsey said when asked about
his after-the-fight plans. He grinned
broadly and caressed the jaw the chal-
lenger is expected to aim at, as he re
sponded. Then, to show how he felt
about his ability to evade a knockout
punch, he fastened to add that reser-
vations for the big part already had
been made. His guests will include
his two brothers, Bernard and Johnny
Mayor Badger, of Atlantic City, where
the champion trained; Manager Jack
Kearns, Trainer Hayes, and other
members of the Dempsey training
squad.

Mrs. Mae Brown, of Chicago, ;

HARD LUCK PITCHERS
ARE MOANING FATE

Red" Oldham of the Detroit Amer
leans and Speed" Martin of the Chi
cago Nationals claim to be the hard
luck pitchers of their respective cir
cults Oldham recently pitched to
only two batters in a game but was
charged with the loss of the contest,
while Martins luck was even worse.
He pitched only one ball and lost a
game.
Martin went in as relief hurler in
the ninth inning in an eastern game
with the score tied. The first ball he
twirled was knocked into the bleach
ers for a home run, winning the game.
With Detroit leading Cleveland I TO
1 and the bases full in a recent game,
Manager Speaker sent Graney, a left
handed hitter. to bat for Nunamaker,
who swings from the other side OF the
plate. Seeing this, Manager Cobb re-
placed Sutherland, a righthanded
pitcher with Oldham.
Oldham pitched six consecutive
balls" Four of these placed Graney
on first, while the next two were call
ed on Uhle, another pinch hitter AT
this point Cobb sent Jimmy Middleton
TO the box. Graney scored the tying
run and Uhle reached first on field
er's choice. Wambsgans then singled,
scoring Uhle with the winning run
and as Oldham was credited with re-
sponsibility for placing the tying and
winning runs on the bases, the loss OF
the game was charged to him.

FARMLAND Will PLAY
EAGLESHERE SUNDAY;
CHANGES HELP LOCALS

Two good games of ball are promis-
ed the fans of the Richmond Eagles,
Sunday and Monday afternoons, when
they stack up against the fast Farm
land team. The Eagles are now play
ing a better brand of ball than they
have played all season and it is pre-
dicted that no more bad exhibitions
will be held.
Manager Danzelman has been try
ing to hit a winning combination as
well as good working infield and his
present team seems to be just what
he has been looking for. Moving
Long into the infield seems to have
been a very wise move as he is a good
infielder, covers lots of ground, and
has a good throwing arm.
Minner plays the outfield as we'll as
the infield and can be used in the
box more or in case of emergency
without breaking up the infield.
Hawekotte on Slab
Hawekotte will do the hurting Sun
day and Minner will work on Monday
Both men are in excellent condition
and promise to send the Farmland
team back home with the short end
of two games.
Larson who hurled such an effec-
tive game against the Eagles earlier
this season when he defeated them by
large score, will not be in the game
Sunday. The Eagles promise to avenge
this defeat and two of the best battles
of the season will be played.
Farmland will have a small army OF
| rooters in the stands, according to
word received here and some lively
competition will be heard in the root
ing section.
The teams will line up as follows
Farmland-Coats, CT; Kessler, 1b:
Jennings. 3b; Clark, C; Brown; If;
Horbst, 2b; Hammer, SIS; McCabe, IF;
kubbey, Knackson and Moore. p.

All International Events
Take Back Seat in Paris
as Fans Talk About Fight

PARIS. July 2-Crashing banks,
wars, cabinet crises, Preparations, ST.
lesia, and all other public questions
were all thrust into the background
by this mornings newspapers, which
gave the most prominent place in their
columns to the news regarding the
Dempsey-Carpentier battle in Jersey
City. Even Communists organs de-
voted themselves to dispatches from
America dealing with the coming in
ternational glove combat.
The manner in which newspapers
subordinate everything to news of the
fight was wholly unprecedented, even
the comic cartoonists and the column
lists concentrated their efforts on that
theme. Each newspaper in Paris had
made its own arrangements for pro
claiming the result, and the scenes to
be enacted in Paris tonight bid fair to
rival those which accompanied the an.
rouncement of the signing of the
armistice.
Maurice Maeterlinck, author of the
Blue Bird, and known throughout the
world as the Belgian Shakespeare
was an enthusiastic supporter of Car
pentier. Maeterlinck has frequently
donned the gloves with the French
champion being no mean boxer him
self, and last night telegraphed the
Excelsior saying:
81 forecast victory for George Car
pentier."
This view was generally held by the
French public, if not by the majority

Gals of the two companies announced
today.
For the first time since the worlds
heavyweight champion established his
training camp here, telegraph oper-
ators sat idly beside their keys. The
lull was occasioned by the departure
of Dempsey and the army of cores
pondents who have chronicled the
progress of his training
More news matter and comment has
gone out of here concerning the Demp-
sey training camp than anything ever
before located in Atlantic City. 1t

columns of newspaper reading matter
filed with the telegraph companies,
nearly three million more wards were
sent by mail.

JERSEY CITY, July 3 Several
hundred men and boys who had re-
manned outside the arena all night
built bonfres and went through i'm
promptu calisthenics to seek warmth
against the cool breezes that swept
over the Jersey meadows. At nine
o'clock the thermometer registered
seventy, and there was little indlca
ton that the fight spectators would
swelter under a broiling sun, as many
had predicted earlier in the week.
The streets around the big saucer

crowds did a thriving business.
Just before the gates were opened
several hundred ushers and police
made a thorough search of the arena
to rout out all sQuatters. Scores OF
boys, who had secreted themselves
during the night in an effort to wit
ness the fight without expense, were
pulled out of all sorts of hiding place:
and sent scampering through the
gates.
Water Gets Youngsters
Streams of water were then turned
on the sides of the arena to wet i
down and prevent the possibility o
fire. A few youngsters, who hat
eluded the earlier vigilance of the pc
lice, were driven out of hiding by tht
deluge of water and soon found them
selves in the street.
A large force of police outside th'
saucer succeeded in maintaining orde
throughout the night and no arrests
were reported at an early hour thi:
morning.
The real human tidal wave startet
to move toward Jersey City soon afte

Move was in perfect form Friday
and the kiWanis club baseball team
took a slow and uninteresting game
from the Press team by the score of

hold on first in the league standing
by their victory.
Only three hits were made off

batters. His support was perfect, the
clubmen not having an error charged
up against them. Ed Wilson, short
fielder for the Kiwanis club, was the
fielding star of the game, making two
stops of hit balls that looked good for
safe blows.
At no time did the Freshmen
threaten to score only one man reach
ing second base and only three men
batting in each inning The Press
scored a run in the first inning but the
tally did not count. Runnels connect
