The Griffs have won seven and
lost fifteen. games played since
leaving home. They have three
more to play in Boston with the
Red Sox and will be at Georgia
avenue on Saturday to tackle the
Detroit Tigers. Their percentage
SO far is .318 on the trip.
Monroe Mitchell, the Memphis
rookie, found the going rough in
Boston and rapidly disappeared
from the fray. But before he
skinned the Red Sox collected eight
hits off his delivery.
Rucky Harris got back in the
game yesterday in Boston, handling
five fielding chaEce2 without a mis-
nlav. He failed to hit safely,
which appeared the fate of most
of Bush's young men facing Jack
Quinn.
Joey Evans seems to be filling
Joe Judges place acceptably, but
his light hitting is costly.
While all the other National
League clubs were idle, the Gin.
cinnati Reds routed the Cardinals,
to 4, and gained on the Giants.
In the eighth and ninth the
Yankees batted out eight runs and
heat the Athletics, 9 to 2, but the
games feature was Babe Ruth s
twenty-third homer, tieing Cy Will
liams, of the Philies.
Detroit had an excellent day,
taking double header from the
White SOx, to l and 9 to 6.
In a bargain bill the st. Louis
Browns took the first from Cleve-
land, 3 to /, but the Indians won
the second in the thirteenth, to 2.

They say that golf is an old

mans. But I am not sure of it.
Maybe it's the other way around.
Bobby Jones, a kid, is the open
golf champion and Gene SaraZen,
last years champion, is only
little moro than twenty-One. In
baseball it's different. Mighty
few stars Of the game are less
than thirty. The minors. don't
seem to be turning them out as
fast as they used to.
Willie Kamm is the only new

real star. Iutzke and Summa of

they are not quite ripe.
It was very interesting digging
into the record books and coming
up with the dope about the players

WIN TITLE
Bv DAVIS j. WALSH.

olS mas way OIL dealing uAd-
monds to the rich and spades to
the poor. 1t is so with Dundee.
He has chased the rainbow from
one end of his fistic career to the
other, but championship titles and
the big money that goes with them
have ever Sluded him.
Some ten years ago, Dundee, the
youth, fought Johnny Kilbane, then
featherweight champion, what
referee was pleased to call a
twenty-round draw. Ringside critics
favoring Dundee disagreed rather
violently, but to no purpose.
Tomorrow night Dundee, the vet
eran, will meet Criqui, conquerer of
Kilbane, for the same title. It took
Johnny just that many years of
persistent seeking to get another
chance at a championship that
might very easily have been called
his in the first place. So much
for fate.
It was the custom in those
other. days for referees to favor
=: the champion in the event that
both men were on their feet at
the finish. 1t was fate that Dun
dee, man with the speed of a
gazetle and the hot Latin blood
lof Italian forbears cOursing
through his vein should have beat
his best in such misfit times. A
decision over Kilbane would have
changed his entire career.
Failing to get return bout
weights and soon became identified
as a member of that division, al.
though always many pounds under
weight 1t was an unfortunate
choice.
Johnny had hardly forsaken the
Seatherweights when Benny Leon
ard sprang into prominence, almost
overnight, and, proceeding to clean
up all the lightweights in sight
soon became recognized as one of
the greatest champions of the mod
err era.
That was fate, also. No one with
kept Johnny out Of the lightweight
championship.
They met eight times. in all,
but Leonard was careful that the
encounters were conducted in
localities where decisions were
taboo. At that he demonstrated
that a great lightweight is always
better than a great featherweighf, 4
SO much so in fact, that the Leon
ard-Dundee series finally was
abandoned.
Almost at the end of his career
Dundee was awarded the 130-poInd
title. Whether he esteemed the
honor highly is not known; if not

prived him of it. He met Jack
Bernstein in defense of the title
some months ago and lost the
decision, although ringside opinion
was strongly in his favor.
1t is fate, too, that Dundee is to
face Criqui tomorrow night instead
of Kilbane. He had the original
challenge in against the latter, but
was jockeyed out of it by the prom
ise that he would get a shot Mt the
winner. Considering Kilbane's inept
defense of his title. it is altogether
probable that Dundee would be
champion today had Criqui been al
lowed 10 remain in France.

have teams almost as good outside

heem, if that ees. his best
To this Dundee replies very
properly:
"Criqui knock me out? Me? Say,
I've fought guys who were light
weights, featherweights, yes, and a
few bantamweights, and only one
has knocked me out. Do you think
Criqui can do what Leonard couldn't
do? Don't make me laugh. l might
shake off another pound, and I'm
down to 1875 pounds now"
Dundee makes no claims that
he will do any knocking out.
Johnny knows his own Iimita-
tons as a stiff puncher. The men
he has flattened have been few
and far between. But he does
say and emphaticalIy, that he will
OutpOint Criqui and take the title
via the judges decision route.
In this statement he is upheld
by the ex-champion, Kilbane, who
looks for Dundees superior knowl-
edge of the ring craft to keep Criqui
from doing any damage with his
terrific punch.
Dundee is a favorite In the bet
ting. But there are plenty of ring
wise persons to be found who think
that Johnny, weakened by making
126 pounds required. will be easy

 Starting about two months ago, r. A.

 ENJOY EAGLE CRUISE
Naval Reservists Return From Sum- mer Jaunt In Vicinity Of Pensacola

The naval reserve force. which gained for itself such an enViable reputation during the World war. has lost none of it's old-time pep, it was evident when the Eagle No. 3B. Lieut.. Commander c. w. J. Neville, U. S. N. R. F.. commanding, returned receontly from it's first summer cruise. Each member of the crew is in the pink of physical condition.
 During the cruise instructions and drills were given in ordinance and navigation, while seamanship and target practice were not forgotten. In addition, pnysicai drills were held was also given for pleasure jaunts and sightseeing.
 While in Pensacola some of the men made flights in the air craft of the naval air station. Capt. J. J. Raby, U. $. N., cOmmandant of the station. made an inspection of the Eagle and expressed himself as being highly pleased with both the ship and the crew.
 The cruise included Pensacola, Ship Island and Gulfport and while 1t was in every sense training cruise, 1t was at the same time a va cation for the officers and men, en- abling them to visit places which they probably would not have had had they not been in the reserve force.
 Birmingham men who were mem bers of the Eagles crew are: John o. Hamilton who seems to have gained quite knowledge of cooking while on the cruise; Francise B. Huff man, Charles H. Shellman (colored) and Charles L. Apperson, whose pro pensity for chickens" was marked. even in the navy.
