 Matter Up To LandiS

TORONTO, August 25.-Bert E. Col lyer, publisher of Collyer's Eye, a Chicago sports weekly, in telegram to Baseball Commissioner Landis, has reiterated charges made in his paper that gambling cliques have been op- erating in big league baseball circles.

 President Heydler of the National League, who has started an investiga- tion and advised Bohne and Duncan to bring suit agalnst the publication should be removed, according to Col lyer, if he does not start to rid the game of gamblers within ten days.
 If President Heydler does not know of the existence of gambling cliques in organized baseball" he said, "he should resign. l was amazed at reading the accounts of how Hedyler viciously and unjustl- fiedly attacked my newspaper for the publication of a story in good faith directed against the operator O. gambling cliques which are under mining the integrity and prestige of baseball"

BIG LEAGUE AVERAGES
Harry HeiImann Cracks Under Strain, As Babe Ruth
 Speeds Up

With Babe Ruth. of the Yankees once at the top, it is apparent that Harry Heilman, of DetDroit, who ting for two-thirds of the season, has cracked under the strain. There are now 14 points between the two with the Yankee slugger leading with a percentage of 402.
 There Is no one in the league who approaches Ruth in total bases, something not to be wonedred. at with Babes 32 homers, but still the figures are impressive, He has an even 300 bases to his credit These included, besides the circuit drives, 31 two-baggers and nine triples. All told he has made 153 hits to Heilman's IA. The Tiger has 66 fewer bases which is accounted for by the Tact that his homeruns only total Is. His doubles are only one less than Ruth's.
 As Ruth has done better in hit ting away from home than at his avn stadium, the chances of He'll mann catching up may be considered slim.
 Chasing The Leaders
 Among others who arc chasing the leaders. although considerable distance back, are Speaker. J. Sew ell and Jamieson. of Cleveland. There is wide margin between Jamieson and Williams of St. Louis, Harris of Boston and Collins of Chicago.
 Collins still holds the base steal ing lead as well as having the most sacrifice hits but his own team mates are on his trail. Mostu in stolen bases and Mcclellan in sac rifice hits,
 Two in the league have gone over the century mark in runs. Ruth lead ing with 114 and Jamieson being next with 102.
 Cleveland has increased it's lead in hitting while New York has lost slightly. The changes, however, have not been marked
 Smith of Cleveland, Pennock and Jones of New York and Johnson of Detroit have the best marks among the pitchers.

Dempsey Almost Knocks Out Jack Burke In Great
 Mixup

SARATOGA SPINGS, N. Y, Augu st zo.-(By Associated Press. s.)-The power of Jack Dempseys punches was revealed today when the heavy welght champion came dangerously near Knocking out Jack Burke and George Godfrey, the two heavy weights, in one of the roughest work outs In which the title holder has engaged since establishing camp here. Falling into a clinch probably saved them from hitting the floor.
 A marked improvement was noted in Dempsey's work, despite a cold that Is bothering him. Instead of missing punches, the champion ex- hibited good judgment of distance and impressive speed through the six rounds of boxing. He was so eager for strenuous workout that Man ager Jack Kearns had to call a halt when Dempsey drove a punching bag from It's moorings after the boxing program.
 Burke, who handed Dempsey a pasting with right hand punches yes terday, received his reward today in the shape of. a severe pummeling. In the first round Burke beat Dempsey to a couple of right hand leads, and this apparently irritated the cham pion.
 When they squared off for the sec ond round. Dempsey drove Burke in a corner. and whipped over a left hook to the chin, a right to the head and another left to the jaw. Burke sagged to the ropes. but quickly re- 'coveredA With eyes flashing angrily and a snarl on his lips, Burke let punches fly with both hands until tho smiling Dempsey trapped him into a clinch.
 Godfrey, the fist man to face Dempsey, had a stormy session for two rounds in which he failed to connect solidly. The giant negro was In retreat continually.

Rogers HOrnSby Findings Co., ing Tough In The
 National

The going has been strenuous for Rogers Hornsby of St. Louis during the past week, the premier slugger of the league having lost nine points during the eastern invasion. He still has a comfortable lead but his team mate Bottomley hes been gradually crawling up. Wheat Of Brooklyn, who has only been up as pinch hitter a few times has also fallen back while Fournier of the same team is where he was last week, having been out of the game most of the time, through injuries.
 A straw in the wind has been the recession of both Pittsburg and New York In team hitting. The Pir- ates have lost the more, although neither has been on the tpboggan. On the other hand, Cincinnati has gained as many points as Pittsburg has lost, showing improved playing on the part of the Reds. Chicago has also gained a couple of points during the week while St. Louis has dropped back a point.
 No Unusual Slugging
 There has been nothing to boast of in the long distance hitting. Cy Williams, having been pnssed by his American League rival, has added two circuit clouts His total is now
 
 sel of New York and Miller of Chi cage tied for second place with 1G eacn
 There has been more action on the bases where the race between Grantham of Chicago and Carey of Pittsburg in stolen bases is as hot as 1t has been any time this season. Heathocte of Chicago Is also morning in, lthe latter having 31 pi1fered sacks to his credit, six fewer than his team mate who leads the Pirate sprinter by two.
 Rousch of Cincinnati has annexed the lead in two-base hits with 34, two more than has fallen to the lot of Grantham and Bottomley of St Louis, who are tied at 32
 In the fielding therO has been no change of any moment New York having played tight game des- pite its losing streak.

HEYDLER HOLDS COMMENT

NEW YORK, August 25.-John A. Heydler, president of the National League, declined today to comment on the criticism directed at him by Bert E. Collyer, publisher of Col lyers Eye" Chicago sports weekly. which recently printed charges that players Bohne and Duncan of the Cin- cinnati Reds had been approached by gamblers in an effort to have them throw" a crucial series With the New York Giants. Collyer in a message to Commissioner Landis ac- cused President Heydler of unjusti- fiably attacking his paper and urged thorough investigation of the gambling charges.
 "Collyer's statement has no bear ing. whatever, in the case, so far as I am concerned" President Heydler declared. If there is any basis for his chasges I want to know 1t and at my suggestion the players involved will begin their legal action against the publication in an effort to es> tablish their truth or falsity. That seems to me to be the best way to proceed right now"
 The league executive added that he believed Duncan and Bohne, who flatly denied Collyer's charges at hearing Thursday, would delay talk ing legal steps until the Reds return to Cincinnati the latter part of next week.
