PEGLER'S PEGS
THE DEN OF THIEVES.

Up on Broadway near Times Square, where you try to hang onto your watch and make yourself un- derstood in the English language without much success at either; there's nofice building called the Den of Thieves. It is filled with fight managers and with motion picture firms that nobody ever did or ever will hear of outside of a grand jury re- port. Ali Babis 40 friends would have lost their regulations here.
 There is some question whether the fight managers named the place The Den of Thieves out of respect for the movie exploiters or vice yer sa. It is even possible that the pub lie named it in compliment to both. Anyway, there is 1t, The Den of Thieves.
 Suppose Sammy Whosthis, manager of Diving Dugan, in his office on the seventh floor, gets a telegram from a promoter in Enid, Okla, ask ing him to bring out the Diver and some good opponent to box on Wednesday night of the Elks Fair Week. Sammy may also have Flung ing Palooka, the Polish Plummet. un- der his management, in which case the match is made between good
 
 takes a deep slash at the purses of two boxers instead of one. Or, if not, Sammy drops downstairs to the office of Tony Grogan, nee Antonio Pimento, on the fourth floor. Tony has just the boy for the match Kid Falls, the Human Horizon Line. And so the match Is made and you see what a fine run the public gets for it's money, after both boxers and both managers have played pinnochle in Pullman drawing room all the way to Enid, Oklahoma.
 Sammy will have the carmine pills in his vest pocket for the boys to chew on during the bout to produce that sanguinary father which makes a fight look so realistic. Tony will have some carbon paper to produce black eyes with and some beans to be spewed out like teeth.
 But by the time the true owner of the name reads in the papers he has been knocked out in some little town 50 miles away, the manager and his boy are on their way to The Den of Thieves.
 It will take long to forgive Jimmy that. His few words knocked $100,- 900 right off the top of the gross receipts of the Dempsey Firpo fight if it should be held in New York within the next three months. Truth is all right in it's place, but there's a place for everything and the match makers office of a mil lion dollar fight is no place for the truth.

ST. LOUIS DEFEATS
 BLACK BARONS IN FIRST GAME, 4 TO 2
Local Team Continues In Slump While Visitors Play
 ErrorleSS Ball

The Black Barons dropped the first game of the series to the St. Louis Stars Thursday afternoon at Rick wood park by a score of 4 to 2. While the locals were playing in a faltering manner the visitors were taking ad- vantage of every misplay and play ing jam-up ball.
 The Black Barons have been in a slump for the past two or three games. Although they seem not to have lost their pep, the play in fast the locals had a walk-away as long as they were playing teams in the Negro Southern league, but with their advent into the Negro National league they are meeting some stiff opposition, ana 1t is beginning to show up their weak spots. The in field has been doing poor work in the past two or three games. At third base Miller is playing a slow game and ground balls are getting men on base in his territory that should be played for easy putouts. At second Wesley has been in a slump for the past three or four games, and in Thursdays game GeeChy went up at short. With three or four new players to plug up their weak places, including the backstopping, position, the Black BaronS should continue their fast pace, despite the fact that they are meeting the best negro teams in the country.
 The Stars won the game Thursday practically in the first inning. With one man down, Gordon was walked and Russell went safe when Me Alister fielded his easy grounder and threw to second to get Gordon. It looked like an easy double play, but Geechie dropped the ball and both runners were safe. Means then let one of Jordans hooks get through him and completely lost the ball. Me Alister ran in from first and fielded it, but Gordon had scored and Rus center and Russell scored. Blackwell sent him to second on a sacrifice and Scales doubled to center, scoring him. Three singles in the ninth one each by Scales, Murray and Fagin, counted for one more score for the St. Louis team.
 The Black Barons made a des- perate attempt to win the game Ill the ninth by an eleventh-hour rally, but it fell short two scores. WiGh two men down, Geechie singled. Greene, hitting for Miller, singled Sellers singled and Geechie scored. Greene also raced in on he hit, and on the throw to the plate Murray muffed the ball and he was safe Mitchell flew out and ended the game.
 Sellers led the Black Baron hitters again with two out of four. The other three hits given up by Turner were gotten by Greene, Meas and Geeechy. Scales and Gordon led the Stars with the stick.
 The Barons have not beeen able to connect to any extent against the pitchers of the visiting teams dur ing the last few games. and the need of reliable hitters on the local team is being keenly felt.
 The Stars and Black Barons play the second game of the series Friday afternoon at Redwood.
 Score.

 We were without a compass and during the day followed a course di- rected by the sun and depended upon the moon and stars last night.
 Once l was on the verge giving up. It was when we hit a heavy tog and lost track of the moon.
 At daylight we were about three miles out of Lorain and a new de- termination to reach the goal arose, seemed to get renewed strength and made good time from there on."
 Meanwhile search is being made Tor the power boat Argus, which left Point Poles lightship yesterday morning acting as convoy to Walk CT. Sometime during the trip the rowboat which accompanied Walker lost sight of the Argus and its five passengers, Charles D. Soldiers, com mander, Cleveland Boat club, his as- sistant, H. T. Lamere, fleet surgeon, and three Cleveland newspaper men.
 It is believed the Argus exhausted its fuel supply searching for the swimmer and is marooned in the lake.

 Walker had to steer his way from the Point Poles lightship to the To- raine lighthouse by the sun and moon and directions given by passing craft as the compass he had relied on to guide his course, was on the Argus.

Walker was with the Birmingham Athletic club swimming team in 1921, going from here to Cleveland. His swim across Lake Erie was particu- larly daring because he made the last part of it without being accompanied by a boat.
