When Is 4 Homer
 4 Four Base Hh?-- Heydler Decides

NEW YORK, August 1S.-The Boston National leagues club pro- test on Brooklyns victory in the second game of a double-header at Brooklyn July 4, was denied today by John A. Heydler president of the league, in decision involving new version of the question; When is ball over the fence?
 The protest by Boston hinged upon a home run allowed Fournier, Dodger first baseman, in the sixth Inning. His drive struck a flag att tached to 6 staff on top of the right field wall, became enwrapped in its folds for a moment and then dropped back into the playing field. The ball was returned to the infield and FoUrnier held to second base, but Umpire Hart ruled the hit home run.
 Boston claimed that the flag was part of the playing field and that the hit, therefore. did not go out of the park but President Heydler de- cided the flag was an obstruction beyond the actual limits of the play ing field, thereby sustaining the arbiter.

SLOOP GOSSOON IS SECOND IN RACE

CHICAGO, August 18.-(By Asso- ciated Press )-The little sloop Cos soon, fighting the gamest battle of her long racing career, came from an almost hopeless position in the rear of the fleet and won second place today in the final race for the Sir Thomas Lipton cup, thereby winning the famous trophy.
 Gossoon's victory, the second. was announced after Ariel, winner of the first two races for the cup, was dis qualified in the final race today, for fouling Sari. Ariel had finished sixth in today's race. taking the per centage of the two boats of the three days even, but the ruling against Ariel gave the victory to Gossoon.
 Colleen entering only in the last three races, carried away first honors in today's race, leading Cos soon across the line by 1 minute and 5 seconds, but her victory was due only to the exceptionally large lead she had gained on the remiander of the fleet.

FirpO Trained In 4 Style Superior To That Of Yankees

BUENoS AIRES, August 1s.-(By Associated Press ,)-Luis Angel Firpo has a boxing science all his own which apparently Is not understood In the United States, according to Felix Bunge, the Argentine patron of the young South American chaI- lenger for the worlds title.
 We have trained him." Senor Bunge said, in methods which we be- Heve to be superior to North Ameri- can methods. If they think he is merely the wild bull of the Pampas they are mistaken. He will beat Dempsey because he is stronger, quicker and more scientific and be- cause we know Dempsey, while Dempsey does not know us.
 "We have noticed that Dempsey, like most Americans, fights with his head low and that he moves rapidly about the ring. We believe that a fighter who keeps his head up and maintains a constant guard, not moving about except when necessary, is able to take better advantage of opportunities to deliver blows"

Ruth of New York went to the top among American league hitters dur ing last week, only to fall back to second place on Thursday For sew eral days Harry Heilmann of Detroit tually tied. At present Heilmann is leading by one point-.S93 to .392.
 Ruth's march to the top has been one of the most remarkable perform ances of the season. He did not give any evidence of getting to the top in the early part of the season, the time of year when Heilmann was clouting the ball around .425. His ascent has been gradual, having gained little by little, despite the fact that every pitcher he faced was naturally laying for him.
 Not only did Ruth go to the top, but he is again the homo run king of the major leagues, with S1 circuit drives, two more than his rivals in the National. In the meantime he also has had time to pilfer 10 bases, and his fielding has been of the sem sational order, in addition.
 Another remarkable performer has come to the front in the veteran Iris time Iris was hitting way below 300, but at present he is third in the league, with an average of .360. Jamieson of Cleveland is next, with .S62, while J. Sewell of the same team is fifth in the ranking.
 There is a crush below these, with Williams of St. Louis, Collins of Chi cago and Burns of Boston pelng all in a bunch.
 Collins of Chicago has put on more steam during the last few days and has run his stolen bases to total of 35.
 The hitting of the three Cleveland sluggers has shown in the team av5 erages, as the Indians have gained four points during the week. New York has fallen back slightly, but not enough to hurt. In fielding, the Yankees have been marking time anu few changes are to be noted.

French Win One Match In DauiS
 Cup Tournament

BROOKLINE, Mass, August 1S.- (By Associated Press.)-The lawn tennis forces of Australia split even with the net stars of France in the two matches of the international Davis cup finals play here today. The score was thus brought to four games for Australia, as compared with one for France in the series which was decided yesterday by Aus traliaa third straight victory.
 The only point for France was won by LacCste, schoolboy champion of his native land, Who outplayed and McInnis, a Melbourne medical stu dent. Mclnnis is rated third on the Australian team, while Lacoste has proved himself the star of the French forces. The scores were 6-2, 6-l. 6-2
 James O. Anderson, the tall veteran leader of the Australian team, won his second singles match of the series when he vanQuished Henri Hirsch, the let1-nanded third stringer of the French team, in straight sets, 7-5, 6-2, 60.
 Anderson Starts Uncertufnly,
 Anderson started uncertainty and weakly and his opponent ran the score to 5-6 in the first set before he
  steadied down. As the AustraIfan's s .play seemed to improve, the French man appeared to weaken and the second and third sets proved easy victories for Australia
 McInnis was tried out today by the Australians in an effort to ascertain whether he would be used in the challenge round matches with the United States next month. When the Australians arrived here it had not been decided whether he or John B. Hawkes. would play in the first days singles, as McInnis had been showing up strongly in practice. Today. however, his work was far from his standard and he was weak and un- certain against Lacoste. Jacques Brugnon, the French veteran, did not play today.
 In ap exhibition game on the cham pionship courts after the Davis cup matches, William T. Tilden, 2d. and his protege, Alexander Weiner de- teated William Johnston and Donald Strachans, another of Tilden's pupils. 6-3. ''

JOE DOWNEY SAYS HE'S OFF BOXING EXHIBITIONS NOW
Big SquabbIe Comes Up Over Firpo- DoWney Bout At
 Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. August 1s.- Joe Downey, the Columbus pugilist, if of boxing exhibitions" ,"-they're too rough and a sheriff standing by to see that one doesn't get hurt doesn't mean a thing.
 Downey mingled leather early Sat urday-the fight didn't start till mid night-with Luis Firpo. Much of the more important fighting was done outside the ring.
 Firpo's leather was in Downey's face most of the time, that the actual ring encounter was in progress. Be- fore that. was a row over money, etc, as a prelude. Afterward, Downey keeled over. He was taken to a hospital, where he took a post-ring count as tho result of his mauling He regained his senses, but he doesn't feel the same.
 All this despite the figure of Sher- if Snider, who loor'Nd at the ring side to enforce an Indiana law saying that prize ights" are forbidden.
 Harry Sully, Downey's manags sr said that Downey suffered a slight -concussion of the brain when a spar ring partner hit him on the head a week ago. After being pummele by the south American, it was this Injury that caused the Columbu fighter to be hauled away in a white wagon decorated with a changing gong and a red cross, Sully declared
 Saturday afternoon sheriff's dep utes had failed to locate Jack Druley, promoter of the fight, who is wanted to pay Firpo the remaining S2,0C0 of the $4,000 guarantee. Sheriff Snider began talking about a warrant al. noon and later was still talking.
 Druley was last seen Friday night just before the main bout got under way. It was reported he left to take the gate receipts down town for safe keeping. Downey is also shy $2OO, it was said, and ticket takers reported they had not been paid.

HETLWANN IS LEADING RUTH BY A ONE POINT MARGIN IN AMERICAN LEAGUE BATTING

Few changes among the leading batters in the National league has marked the weeks grind. Hornsby has dropped in his standing slight ly Wheat of Brooklyn, being out of the game, has naturally not been dis turbed in second place. Bottomley of St. Louis has bettered his standing
 There have been a few switches among those following, but these have not been important as Fournter of Brooklyn, Frisch and Young Of New oKrk, Traynor or PlttsDurg; ana Roush of Cincinnati are in relatively the same positions as last week. Both Roush and Travnor have fallen off slightly.
 Although the pitchers have had indifferent tuck with the rabbit ball' they have exhibited enough of a hot weather form to keep the ball Inside the yards in most instances Williams of Philadelphia, even though getting back to home pastures, has been un- able to add to his 29 circuit drives, and Hack Miller of Chicago has been about the only one who has shown any tendency to put the ball out of the lot. The Cub outfielder has ac- cumulated a total of 16, the same number that has fallen to Fournier.
 Grantham of Chicago ise rated as 10-second man, but despite this the beteran Carey of Pittsburg caught up with the Chicago youngster in stolen bases during the week, only to be passed by the Cub second sacker in one grand rush, the Chi cagoan now having 35 to the Pirates 81. Heathcote of Chicago Is nearest, with 26.
 Pittsburg Is still falling back in hitting, which, despite it's lead, is also true of New York, each having lost a point. In fielding, the leaders, New York and the Pirates, are where they were last week.
 Luque of Cincinnati. having been reinstated after his fracas with New York players, can now boast of a record of 16 victories and five de- feats in the pitching column.

often she was not the alert, unerring player of seven days ago, and Miss Goss seemed to be thinking too long on her strokes and consequently mutttng many she could ordinarily handle absent-mindedly.
 Americans start Wei.
 At that, the Americans seemed headed for victory in the first set. They took 1t handiIy. finding a crev- ice in the advanced front of the Brit lsh team for low placements. Miss Goss' rangy figure seemed impenetr- able for the British cross fire.
 Some one had misinformed the British girls about American mid summer weather and they appeared in fur coats, over their starched white tennis frocks, contrasting strangely with the light sweaters of the other players. The stark simplicity of the tenis dresses SC, off more emphatically the gaudy colorings of one of the smartest sports turnouts of the year.
 BrItishers Win Doubles.
 Under the spell of Miss Wills striking victory, the annexation of the American doubles title by Brit ish team, Katherine McKane and Mrs. B. c. Covell, 2-6, 6-2 and 6-1, from an American duo that beat them decisiVely only 2 week ago for the world championship, caused hardly fluttter. The drama of the afternoon evolved between the b,awny native daughter" of Berkley and the tawny lady from Scandinavia who has become a Gothamite.
 There was no faltering in the stressful hour by the passing cham pion. She played the same rigid, ramrod tennis that sent Suzanne Lenglen sobbing from the courts two years ago. But her most wicked smashes were handled like floaters by the schoolgirl, who has played most of her tennis with boys.
 Volleying such as has never been Tn n women's match on this con tinent marked the passing of Mrs. Mallory. Both champions, the old and the new, attacked each others back hand with consistency, and often the 4000 tennis enthusiasts in the stands were exhilirated by a dozen returned smashes clearing the net by inches before the point was registered-un- usually for the girl.
