There is no certainty that the homerun crown will go to the Amer ican League judging from the swing that now and then connects in the National. Having been passed by Ruth, Cy Williams of Philadelphia put the ball over the fence this week for the lead In circuit swats in the majors. This makes 33 for Will Hams, which of course may be tied or passed in the next few days.
 Fourinera of Brooklyn. who has been out of the game through in jurles, crawled up to second place before he went out, while Miller of Chicago and MeuSel of New York are still tied at 16 each.
 There has been a slight let up in hitting of Hornsby, who has fallen below 400. Wheat of Brooklyn, who has only been pinch hitting of late has also dropped. Bottomley or St. Louis is the sensation, not so much in what he has gained as the fact that he has hit consistently in prac- tically every game. The Card first sacker is third, as he was last week, but he has added two points to his percentage.

Battling Siki Steps Into U. 5. Ready To Fight

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Perfectly sober and unaccompanied by his pet lion, Battling Siki landed at New York Saturday, prepared to challenge the winner of the Dempsey Firpo fight.
 The conqueror of Carpenter was festively attired In a costume that featured prominently at least seven colors, none of them taking back seat
 Apparently the senegalese fighter has been informed that America has gone dry, for he hastened with his first words to deny the stories of his training on liquor.
 q like wine better than water. it's true" he admitted. But when I'm training I drink water"
 Ski added that the stories of his carousals along the boulevard cafes of Paris were highly exaggerated. He was met at the pier by Mike McTigue, who gave him a bad drub- ping at Dublin last spring.

Frank Plans To
 Help Luis Firpo
 Train For Bout

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. Sept. r. (By Associated Press.)-The shadow of an old-time ring warrior fell to- day across the training ring, in which Luis Angel Firpo Is preparing for his world title with Jack Demp- sey, September 14.
 Frank Klaus, a middle weight ter TOT of some years gone by came 10 see the south American heavy fight work and to offer his services as sparring partner.
 Klaus was impressed with the Angels strength and ring work. "He may not be the heavy weight poss this year." he said, but he'll De champion some day"
 Firpo spared six rounds, two each with Joe McCann, Jeff Clarke and Natalie Pera. Frank Koebele was ordered by the training physician to rest for a day.
 Tomorrow the Argentine will drop his road work but speed up during the afternoon sparring sessions. New sparring partners are expected Mon day.
 Dr. Juan Reilly. today made known the result of psychological study he has been making of the southAAmer- ican challenger.
 "In the first place. pr. Reilly, "the man Is combination Patagonian giant and Genoese wild man. Like his progenitors, who were some of the most famous of Italian vendettists, he has the ability to curb his strength and his passions and to disguise his feeling until the proper moment for action is arrived.
 AS you see him now in his train ing work he may be likened to the persecutied Italian of some years ago, who waited. prepared, planned pom dered for the great deed to be done. When you see him against Dempsey he will be the vendettist striking, and the vendettists always struck de- cisively.
 He is absolutely cold blooded. Sometimes I wonder if he knows he is going to fight Dempsey. Never once ha3 he worried about it since l have been studying him. He dis misses any mention of Dempsey with an T should worry toss of his head.
 Even if he if knocked out by the champion, he will not be afraid of him. Firpo has set his mind on win ming the world title but if he doesn't have success this time, he will at some future day"

Heilmann Pulls Up-0n Ruth In American League
 Race

Nine points separate Ruth of New York and Heilmann of Detroit at the top of the batting list in the Amer ican league. Last week the differ- ence was 16, showing that Heilmann has improved considerably.
 Ruth left the west with an aver age of an even 400. He has now .405. Heilmanns record in the mean time has gone up to .396 It is close enough to keep the fans guessing.
 The sensation in the swatting line, however, has been J. Sewell of Cleve- land This sterling shortstop has tackled 12 points to his percentage. now being third with an average Of .376 There seems to be no immediate danger of anyone jarring the three Indians out of their places, as Speaker and Jamieson follow SeweH and there is wide gulf between the later and Eddie Collins of Chicago
 The changes among the others have been few.
 Ruth still has his S2 homeruns, Babe having found the fences in the west hard to negotiate. Williams of St Louis has added two to his 32 last week. Hauser of Philadelphia, by slamming out two homers in one day at St. Louis. ha seleVated his ercord to 16, which ties Heilmann.
 No one has been able to catch up with Collins of Chicago in stolen bases or SdCTlllCe llitS. iiSihSh N"Ai Speaker of Cleveland has hammered out 47 two baggers to date. He has no competition.
 Detroit has hit the ball with a vengeance as team during the week, the Tigers having displaced the Yankees in team hitting, being second to Cleveland which has pounded the ball at an even clip for the lead The changes among the others have not been marked al though Washington has increased it's hitting enough to crawl out of last place.
 The Yankees are still best in field ing.
 There have been so sensational happenings among the pitchers ex- cept that Pernock of New York has taken the technical lead away from Smith of Cleveland.
