PADGETT PUT
AWAY IN 9Th
BY SCHLAIFER
Cowboy From Denver Takes Ter
rible Beating From the
Omaha MauleE
BY ]. L. HUGHES.

Cowboy" Padgett's hopes of I'LL
timately wrestling the welterweight
title from the veteran dome OF Jack
Britton were somewhat blighted
last night.
Morrie Schlaifer, the Omaha
mauler, plastered the Colorado
ranchman all over the Coliseum
ring in the fifth and part of the
sixth rounds With the cowboy
hanging helpless on the ropes, aft
er a minute of the sixth round had
passed, Referee Ed Smith stopped
the bout.
1t was a technical knockout for
Schlaifer, to be sure, but about the
most decisive thing that could have
happened. Padgett was completely
beaten. He chung to the ropes for
support because his brain refused
to tell him the best thing to do was
to drop. The referee stopped the
proceedings just in time. Another
blow from Schlaifer might have
caused the cowboy serious injury.
Padgett caused his own undoing.
| He tried to make vaudeville of
| the serious business of fighting by
| deliberately making Schlaifer ap-
pear ludicrous. Frequently in the
first four rounds, Padgett indicated
| his jaw with his glove and invited
| Schlaifer to try for a target The
easy going Morrie merely smiled
/ in return, and for a time the crowd
really felt that at last it was see
ing the superior of the Omaha youth
in action.
Padgett learned in the fifth that
he could carry his funny stuff just
a bit too far. He began to dance
and hop around the ring for the
/ purpose alone of making Schlaifer
miss blow after blow. The slower
moving Nebraskan for a minute
| looked as if he was a mere novice
But the good-natured smile had left
his face.
In the closing seconds of the
round, Morrie cornered the swiftly
moving Padgett, and that was the
/ beginning of the end. Pandemo-
mum broke loose with the sudden
| change in favor of Schlaifer. The
bell rang but Morrie did not hear
He continued to reign blow after
/ blow on the thoroughly classified
cowboy before the referee could
| pull him away.
/ .Padgett came up for the sixth
cautious. But it was too late.
Morrie went after him viciously and
within a minute the excitement was
over.

Seine Pitcher To Win Fame When
He Succeeds in Banking
Minneapolis.

Copyright. 1922. by The Argusl
New York, May 13.-The Mime
apolis team, as team, has played
more than two hundred games
without being shut out 1t is a
wonderful performance in baseball
even if the team has not had the
same players from the time that it
started its scoring run in 1920 IN
til the present. President Hickey
of the American association has
claimed a worlds record for the
performance and is pleased ever il
as he is over the fine fight that is
being made in his organization for
its championship.
A request was made of the lit
tie Red Book" editor to verify the
worlds record claim by Minneap-
oils. All sources of information
have been sought and TO date moth
ing has been found that will sug-
gest the possibility of a mistake
about the record belonging to Min
neapolis- The 200th game was play
ed on Sunday and since then Min
neapolis has scored steadily against
its rivals so that the consecutive
performance is still running.
The odds against an achievement
of this kind are as great as the
number of games combined with
number of innings and number of
batters who might not have been
able to make runs. Honor and
fame await the first pitcher who
shall be able to stop Minneapolis
from Haunting the flag of the
Great Unwhitewashed
Glass AA baseball is only a little
removed from major league base
ball as most of the class IA brand
IS manufactured by old Ieaguers
who have served their apprentice
ship and then their time with class
A clubs.
For that reason the brilliancy Of
the performance of the Minneapo-
lis club should not be dimmed by
referring to it as a minor league
success. A major league club
would well thank its stars if it
could show something equally
creditable

IBY LAWRENCE PERRY

Lawn tennis experts interviewed
today without exception expressed
doubt as to the assertion recently
made that the present lawn tennis
season will be the volleying game
brought to it's highest pinnacle and
that the back court game will be Of
secondary Importance. If this
proves true it will be a complete
about face of trends which have
been observed on the American
court since Maurice Mclaughlin,
the California meteor, burned out
through heat generated by his own
energy.
AS matter of fact, if play in the
course of American tennis season
will prove anything it will demon
strate. l think, a wise and judic-
ious mixture of the volley and back
court game as exemplified by the
three greatest players we have, to-
wit, Tilden, Johnston and Richards.
In fact, of the outstanding players
who will be in action this season it
is likely that Willis Davis, the Cali
fornian, will be found as exemplar
of the lightning attack based on
service of the close net volley i'm
mediately following.
British golfing critics think that
the present decline in the prowess
| OF British pros is due to the fact
that they are now a pampered
breed. In the old days, it is point
! ed out, pro had to fight like grim
| death to win in order to make his
expenses. There was always the
risk if he failed, that he would not
be in possession of the wherewithal
to return to his home Nowadays
adoring members of clubs to which
| they belong present them with
checks covering all expenses. Were
1t not so think how Ray, for in
stance. or Mitchell, or Duncan,
would grit his teeth and perspire
and work to avoid counting the rail
road ties or riding the brakebeam.
Speaking of good old Yankee
names in professional sport, a
friend writes to ask what is the
| matter with Jesse and Virgil
Barnes, Cecil Causey, Ross Young
and Philip Douglas, all of the
Giants.
1T is interesting to calculate. s.
says crack amateur golfer, who
together with most of his kind has
developed a lucrative journalistic
sldeline, what could be done by
second and third rate players to
lower their strokes without i'm
proving their skill?" The answer
is so simple as hardly TO warrant
| discussion. All that is needed is a
pencil and paper and a poor mem

Dubuque, Iowa, May 13.-Ffve Is
lander pitchers were unable to stop
the onslaught of the home club here
yesterday and Dubuque won the
fourth and deciding game of the
series from Rock Island by score
OF 12 to IL. The contest required
10 innings.
Fred RadIoff. who started on the
mound for the Islanders, was hit
hard for three innings. Dubuque
wasted little time on his offerings.
A double, single and base on balls
counted one run but three Others
scored in the first were donated.
Elkins was greeted in the fourth
inning. by a triple and three SIN
giles, which counted three runs.
Sam Holden, who relieved him,
yielded three runs in the sixth
when BROMLEY, a recruit, cleaned
the sacks with a triple.
The Islanders were forced 10
fight an uphill battle all the way
on account of the weakness of the
pitching.
The Islanders scored one in the
UTSL ana Two III the SGCOid "hCh
Jelinek tripled and Fillingham and
Norton singled. The Islanders add
ed one in the fifth but Dubuque
three in the sixth made the count
stand II to against the visitors
at that stage. Then the Islanders
began to take picks on the offerings
of Lee Oster, who in spite of the
bombardment, remained in the box
to the finish.
Errors enabled the Islanders to
score three in the seventh. In the
eighth the Islanders again filled
the bases, principally due to Du-
buque misplays. Then Gray, pitch
hitting for Craig, drove the ball to
far leftfield for three bases and
scoring all runners.
The Islanders tied the score in
the ninth en- a triple by Jelinek and
singled by Fillingham.
Dubuque won out in the 10th
Young doubled. took third on an
error by Councilman and registered
when Anderson drove the ball into
