CHICAGO, May 27.-By Associated Press. )-Cy Williams, elongated Ma tional league veteran of the Phil lies, increased his hold on the home run leadership of the major leagues today, making his eighteenth circuit drive of the season and his fourth for the week.
 Babe" Ruth, by crashing out his ninth homer in Saturdays game against the Athletics, caught up with Kenneth Williams of the Browns, who has been the undisputed leader of ftur-ply blows in the American II league since the season opened. Will Hams failed to add to his mark of a week ago, while the Yankee slugger hit brace of round trip blows.

PROTO MEETS FOWLKES AT A. C. MONDAY NIGHT

troduced to the fans by Roy Cohen one night at Wilson bout. The fans were rather curious about the newcomer who seemed to be pleas ant sort of scrapper. His ready smile won him many friends before he ever entered the ring.
 However. the great following of the little bantams was never earned by his pleasing personality, but his gameness and willingness in the ring. In his first bout here he set the box ing dope downside up by licking Tim O'Dowd in 10 hot and furious rounds of the greatest exhibition Of he-man fighting seen at the Athletic club this year. For his trouble he was recompensed with the referees opin-
 ion that the bout was a draw. Since that night a Proto bout has meant to the real fight loving boxing fan 10 rounds of real honest-to goodness fighting In his subsequent bouts the newest prottge of Tompkins has added to his renown as slugging, rushing, fighting boxer who never quits.
 Monday night the fans will get another chance to see him in action, this tim1 against boxer who IS also reputed to be a slugger. If the Memphis boxer is what the promoters claim he is Monday night should be q red-letter night for boxing fans.
 Proto will be in good condition. He has been working earnestly and steadily for the past two or three weeks for the bout His idleness has not meant rest for him for he has been an active member in Dave Evans stable of boxers
 What will probably be the feature of the preliminary bill will be bat tie royal staged by eight or ten of darktoWn's most reputable sluggers. The last battle royal was so popular with the fans that the promoters de- cided to stage another one as pre- limnary to the Proto- Fowlkes bout.
 Heading the wrestling bill Tom Lacey and Tom Lownden will wrestle a 10-rcund bout. Lacey is known as one of the cleverest mat men Of the city but will meet good oppo- nent in Lowndes
 Big Boy Edwards will box the six round semi final bout with Thomas of Fairfield Edwards has won reputation as slugger. He will have fast man against him Monday night. Bogie Saab will box Larry Broderick four rounds in what should be good bout. Both are hard hit ters and a knockout should result before the bout is ended. Young Battling Kelly will meet May in an other four-round bout. May has won several knockout bouts at the club and should give Kelly good run for his money.

ZEV MAKES BEST THREE YEAR. OLD| SHOWING OF YEAR
Harry SincIair's Racer Out standing Track Performer
 Of Past Season

NEW YORK. May 27.--Out Lf the tumble of irresponsible two-year- old horse critters, who rar ns in-and cutters in 1922, one colt has emerged in the '23 season and has stretched ahead of the whole class toward the three -year-old championship of the American turf. Harry Snclairs colt, Zev, son of the Finn Miss kearney, although a sulky brute and likely to behave stubbornly for the most trivial causes, is now the winner of two big stakes and two other races as three-year old and probably will be the overwhelming favorite in the Belmont stakes, June 9.
 o O O
 Has Good Chance
 If Zev wears his running shoes in that long test of equine gameness and fibre. one mile and three fur longs, which is an eighth longer than victory, he should be able to take the purse. In Zev's case. this would mean the championship
 Zev lost in the Preakness at Bal timore two weeks ago and Vigil won But it was learned afterward that Zev had been sulking for "A hours and this explained his miserable showing to followers of the races who knew he was capable of a much better fight than he made that day
 Zev was in gay mood at the Derby and was we'll pleased with world conditions Saturday when he won the $lS,000 withers, at Belmont Park, beating Vigil again and also fcrcing Martingale, the runner-up at Louisville. to take second money for the second time in week.
 Won S24.665 As TwO-Ycar-OId
 AS two-year- old, Zev won five races, ran second In four, third in two and failed to place in one, win ming $24,665 all season. As three year-old he has won $79,S00 which brings his earnings above S1OO, 1000 and places him In the select class.
 There is still a chance for Mar tingale, owned by J. s. Cosden, and for Wilderness, owned by R. T. Will son, to win the championship bv catching Zev in one of his discon- tented moods, or even by beating him in straight test of true uuai- ity. but naturally Zev will be the tavorlte in his future starts because of what he has done in the past.
 Horsemen who spend as little time as need be in the stands and as much as possible about the stables, can not but compare the temperaments of this years Derby winner with that of Norwich. who took the prize in 1922
 Norwich was thick in the legs and Roly Poly in the barrel and in dis position. jolly fat man. He quar- reled with nobody and bent to his work with juvenile eagerness, mak- ing the best of conditions always. | until his physique wouldn't stand the strain of racing any more and he suf- fered one of those inexpicable dis asters called for lack of a more specific term, breakdown.

GIANTS BACK IN
NEW YORK WITH
SPIRIT RESTORED
MCGraw's Boys Start Esti-
mating What Their Worlds
Series Share viii Total.
By HENRY FARRELL,
United Press Sports Editor.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Figurfng
the weather is nice, that everything
is lovely and that there are certainly
two big ball parks in New York for
certain festivity in October, the New
York Giants are back home.
Without saying it too loud in the
figure the National League pennant
is as good as nailed to the flagstaff in
the Polo Grounds, and they have
more important things to consider.
Counting up the seats in the Yam
kee Stadium, and the newly enlarged
Polo Grounds, the athletes figure that
with all conditions ideal and no UNI
pire to call a game on account OF
darkness in broad daylight the win
ners of the series will grab close to
$4,000 each.
McGraw does not permit much con-
versation about the worlds series, as
he has been lecturing his band ali
season about the evils of too much
confidence. but "Jawn J." will admit
if even slyly, that the prospects are
very fine.
THE pennant race is not over"
McGraw said. I'VE know that we
may have serious jumps to get over
before the season is finished, but
think we have shown ourselves capa-
BILE of meeting most any kind of diff
culties. The prospects are good for
another pennant."
All of the Giants figure their trip
through the West was most satisfac-
tory.
Wednesday. another hectic New
York Cincinnati series will be started
when the Reds come here for five
games in four days. After the trim
ming that the champions gave Mo-
rams team in Cincinnati, when they
took five straight games from them,
the Giants have a bunch that they
can sweep another series, and put
the pennant safely on the ice before
the end of the week

One hundred and sixty-two golfers
