REDS PLAY ERRATIC
BALL;LOSE TO CUBS
BY SCORE OF 7 TO 4

CHICAGO, Sept. Both the Cubs
of baseball in the opening game OF a
series OF two at the Cub park Friday,
but the Cubs were slightly the better
club and won the game to 4. A five
run rally in the third inning off Luque
put the Cubs so far out in front that
they were never In danger
Luque opened he third frame by
tanning Cheeves, but Fonseca kicked
one which Heathcote had slammed at
! him. Luque caught Heathcote of first
base and Umpire Moran called him
out, but Umpire Quigley declared that
Luque had baked, so Heathcote ad-
vanced to second instead of taking
the bench. The Cuban became peeved
at the decision and walked Hollocher.
Terry singled to right, scoring
Heathcote, but Hollocher was caught
at the plate on rather lucky play. At
this time Pinelli pulled the game
loser. He accepted the grounder OF
Grimes, but lobbed the ball to first in
such a slow manner that the runner
was safe. Terry scored on the at
tempt at first.
Cubs Break Loose
Then the Cubs took advantage and
added more grief to the Moran camp.
Calaghan tripled, Miller doubled and
Krug connected for three bases.
John Couch pitched the next few in
nings, but was taken out for a pinch
hitter in the seventh and Schneu took
up the mound duty.
The Redlegs pulled big rally in
the ninth which looked good for a
while. Heathcote muffed CaVeney' S
fly, Bohne and Burns grounded out,
'Caveney scoring. Daubert, Duncan
and Roush singled in succession, the
former scoring. Fonseca was safe
when Kelleher fumbled his grounderi
which filled the bases with three runs
needed to tie the score. Wingo then
grounded to Terry. The score:

BOXING ENCOUNTERS

Benny Leonard was allowed to fight
Rocky Kansas and Ever Hammer in

Young Critic Didn't Mind
Merely Losing His Shoes;
Feet Heavily Calloused

George Dawson, old-time fighter,
was tanning the other day in Los An
geles and he discussed Young Critic.
Dawson, like Critic, is an Australian
and one of the greatest of his weight.
He brought the original kidney punch
over here. Dawson is now living in
Pasadena very comfortably on returns
from shares in one of the Wrigley con-
Germs given him by the latter some
years ago.
Critic, as the average boxing fan
knows, was the despair of his trainers.
He was in a perpetual state of inebria-
ton Dawson recalled how Critic in
dulged even more than usual one day
with the result that he stretched out
and went to sleep in the open. He was
so beautifully paralyzed that somebody
stole the shoes off his feet without dis
trubing him.
When Critic reported for his work
out his manager declared there could
be no roadwork without shoes. Critic
proved that there could be by going
down on the beach and running the US
ual distance on the sand in his bare
feet.
You'll have to go hungry: can't
take you into a restauSant without
Shoes" declared the manager.
wait and I'll show you how it can
be DONE" replied CRITIC, disappearing
Half an hour later he returned and
seemed to have on a new pair of shoes
until closely scrutinized. He had gone
to bootblack stand and had his bare
feet shined. Not bad idea, at that
Bare feet done in russell or tan not
only would look stylish, but wearing
thick callouses on the bottom of your
bare feet would be cheaper than get
ting your shoes half-soled.
