Applaus of Fans in Handling

"Texas Wonder" Made Good
Impression on Fans, But He
Didn't Win Game

Bassinger, Texas left-handel
wonder, imported by Bradley Hogg
who performed in his first game
here Wednesday, allowed seven hits
issued two passes, hit one batter
and lost the game to cambridge, 4.
/, before crowd of 465 fans
crowded into one grandstand and
bleachers at the Americas Play
ground diamond.
But the loss of the game wasn't
altogether chargeable to Bassinger,
and the southpaw really made Il
good impression upon the fans here.
For if he allowed 7 hits he also fan
ned six Bainbridge batsmen, and in
the seventh he polled out long hit
to right that all hue scored Pan
tone, the side being retired when
the Americus boy attempted TO
stretch his advance too far and was
thrown out at the plate.
The run getting for Bainbridge
began in the first when Harmon
reached first on Wilkes error. went
to third on Pinkston's miscue and
scored ON the toss-in. Amemcus
scored their lone tally in the second
when Brown laced out two bagger.
went to third on Wilkes hit and was
forced in when passenger was hit
by a pitched ball.
In their half of the second Balm
brindge pushed Sheppard across the
bridge pushed Sheppard across on a
pass, hit, an error and a pass, and
again in the third on a double, a
sacrifice and hit. The last tally
was made by the visitors in the
sixth when Walton drove the pellet
to deep center for two bags and
romped across on Swans bingle to
the some Garden for another double
safety. In the seventh it looked
like Bainbridge would score again,
but pretty play executed from
Pantone to Dowis to Cox ended
their hopes, Gibson being thrown
out at the plate when he attempted
to stretch a three base hit into a
homer.
Probably the most sensational
play during the entire game was

GIBBONS OUTRANKS
ALL OTHER BOXERS
DEMPSEY HAS YET MET
Comparison Drawn Between Sui
livan-Corbett Bout and Com
ing Scrap at Shelby
GIBBONS IS OLDER Man
Challenger Some Shorter Than
Champion and Lighter, But
Clever Boxer

NEW YORK. June 2s.-When
Tommy Gibbons, st. Paul heavy
weight, steps into the ring at Shell
by, Montana, July a against Jack
Dempsey, the champion, he may be
compared in some respects to
"Gentleman JIM Corbett when
that dapper boxing wizard squared
off against John L. Sullivan at
New Orleans in 1892.
Gibbons chanres against Dempsey
sey have been belittled by MAJ
jority Of the experts, and indeed,
the Minnesotan hardly appears
heavy puncher enough to flatten
the Coloradan. But like his mid
dleweight brother Mike, "The
Phantom," Tommy is master box
er, cool in combat, always clever,
always fast, and a puncher Of no
mean ability.
At least year older than Dep
sey, an inch or two shorter and
really d light-heavyweight, Glib
bons may not be able to stand be-
fore the champion for LIS rounds.
Except in age-Corbett was much
younger than Sullivan when they
met at New Gibbons and
Dempsey win be like Gentleman
jim" and Terrible John L." in
that famous scrap Of 81 years ago.
Sullivan's terrific punching
power like that Of the Dempsey Of
today, caused many a sturdy OPP
ponents knees to quake when he
thought Of it, and many of them
we're defeated by fear be-
fore Sullivan laid glove
on them. Not SO Corbett. When
Jim took his corner at New Orleans
John L. scowled, shuffled his feet
and spat on the ring floor, his
customary greeting. Jim laughed
and chatted with ringsiders as the
gloves were being pushed upon his
hands. He paid no attention to
Sullivan.
Through the rounds, as agile
Jim sidestepped Sullivan's buIl-like
rushes, the champion became in
furiated Came then the famous
twenty-first round, Corbett still
strong and smiling. The wear of
the fight had told on Sullivan; he
was angered, but even then had he
been, able to punch Corbett solidIy
he would have retained the title.
Corbett landed five crashing blows
to the jaw.
sllivan kept his feet, but his
eyes began to roll. He was totter-
ing, Corbett measured his man.
The right landed on the jaw point
Old Johns knees sagged and he
keeled slowly over.
The great champion, batter
down Of a hundred heavy hitting
opponents, had been defeated BY a
master-boxer.
Dempsey, as champion, has never
met man as well4versed in the
game as Gibbons Carpenter, the
one-punch man, could not evade
the Dempsey rushes. Bill Brennan
was more than once a punching
bag. Awkward Billy Miske was an.
other Willard, stunned by the first
Of Depsey's blows, was an easy
sarget until the end.
