Runs.

SALT LAKE CITY. May H.
Pete Schneider, star rightfielder of
the Vernon Coast League baseball
club, knocked five home runs in a
game with Salt Lake City. He drove
in fourteen of Vernon's runs, and in
his sixth time at bat the ball missed
going over the fence by inches, but
was good for two bases, Vernon won,
30 to IL. Altogether eleven home
runs were made during the game.
Schneider formerly was a pitcher
for the Cincinnati Reds.
The record for home runs by one
man in a single game, as shown by
the record books, is eight, made by
n. Clarke, of the Cincinnati club, in
game with Texarkana on July ID,
1902. Clarke went to bat eight
times. The major league record is

BILL BRENNAN THINKS
HE HASN'T HAD ENOUGH

Bill Brennan, who twice fought
champion Jack Dempsey, evidently
did not profit by his experience in
his fight with Louis F'irpo, South
American strong man.
In that contest Bill came near
passing in his checks for all time,
but the doctors pulled him through
at the hospital. and now he is en-
joying the fresh air once more.
After getting over the danger
point in the hospital Bill announced
that he was through with the ring
forever, but now comes an after
thought to the effect that he will
try it again.
Bill says he will meet Floyd
Johnson, of Chicago, on May 25.
Bill should have better sense, his
friends say.

MISS wainwright, Alleen Riggen,

about May IA to compete for the

games.

ming association, and we intend to
see them carried through"
The champion Is only seventeen
now. She was just fourteen when
she participated in the last Olympiad,
II expect many records to be
broken in Women's swimming this
summer" Miss Wainwright said.
1--WE expect to win the English
championships. The swimmers who
will be most formidable will be Helen
James and Constance Jeans. We
will compete in England and Scot
land.
"Only last summer swimming
meets began to be deservedly popu-
lar. The first long distance swims

there will be more interest than ever
in women's swimming meets and
there will be more long distance

The Washington times., 1923-05-12

better man than Dempsey ever faced
in the roped Enclosure. If there is a
white man in the ring today capable
of putting Dempsey to real test
his name Is Gibbons.
Tom may not do much better than
any Of the men Dempsey has bowled
over, but on all form he figures to
do better. He excels Dempsey in
both speed and science. What
other fighter has such important
advantages over the champion?
The main argument used by those
who ridicule Gibbons as an opponent
for Dempsey ia that Tom was beaten
by little Harry Greb,, near middle
weight. Well, Dempsey was beaten
by fat Willie Meehan. Does that
make Jack a poor fighter? Dempsey
also was made to look cheap by
Greb in the gymnasium.
What Dempsey failed 10 do
against Meehan and what Gibbons
failed to do against Greb can be
thrown out. In each case the better
fighter lost because he failed to solve
his opponents awkward style.
Those fights have no bearing ON
what is likely to happen when
Tom and Jack face each other i'm
the ring ON July 4. Each will
then have an entirely different
puzzle to solve.
Dempsey and Kearns evidently
have plenty of respect for the ability
of Gibbons. Kearns promptly turned
down the first offer of 100000 for
the bout at Shelby. He knew well
enough that the Shelby people, who
are running the fight merely for the
advertising, would lose money If
they gave him 100000 1t looked as
though he would lose the chance if
he did not accept, vet he demanded
$500, 900 for his end.
It is reasonable 10 think that a
man as smart as kearns would do
nothing to endanger that 100000 if
he looked upon it as easy money.
But kearns was not content with
that gigantic amount. When his
terms finally were accepted he
cudgeled his brains for a further
handicap. He demanded $4,000
extra for training expenses. Then
he made the promoters advance him
$4,000, refusing to put up a cent
himself.
Those are not the tactics of q
manager grabbing a setup. 1t looks
as though Kearns thinks his meal
ticket will be in plenty of danger
on JuIV a.

physically fit, and possesses a ter
rifle punching power and stamina.
Whether he can withstand john
sons rushes and blows is a ques-
ton that will be answered today.
Willard will have an advantage
of from forty TO fifty pounds in
weight, four inches in height and
possibly that much in reach. Will
lard has a knockout punch. Johnson
must avoid it if he is to wear down
the veteran and bring him to the
canvas through exhaustion. 1t is
not believed that Johnson can fell
Willard with a single blow.
Johnson's best asset is his abil-
ity to stand up under punishment.
Firpo and McAuliffe are more
evenly matched. Firpo, coming
into the ring at about Els pounds,
will have something like fifteen
pounds on the Detroiter. Both are
six feet two inches in height. Nc
Auliffe is the faster man and the
better boxer. Firpo is the. heavier
hitter. He has the fighting instinct
and is veritable demon within
the ropes when aroused to a COM
bative pitch. Neither Firpo nor
McAuliffe has ever been on the
floor. ..~...
McAuIiffe has had more cx-
perience, although he is only
twenty-three years old now. FirpO
is twenty-seVen and is still learn
ing how to fight along lines that
are standard i'm the American
ring. Both men have courage.
and it should be whale of a
fight.
Both of the headline bouts are
scheduled to go fifteen rounds. 1t
is unlikely that either will go more
than ten.
Only the presence of these four
top liners overshadows the bout be-
tween Fred Fulton and Jack
Renault, which will be put on
just before the semi-final. 1t is
scheduled to go ten rounds, but

out looms large.

pionship.
As a champion Jess was ridiculed.
1t was admitted that he was big and
strong, but few would admit that he
really could fight.
But now that Willard is old and
by all the laws of nature through
as q fighter, the majority OF the
experts pick him as a sure winner
over young Floyd johnson.
johnson is not a great fighter, 1t
must be admitted. He is just an
ordinary boxer and for big man
he is a decidedly weak hitter. But
Floyd is young and full of youthful
energy and endurance.
Instead of being on the short end
he should be a strong favorite. He
does not have to be a great fighter
to beat Willard. Father Time is
fighting on Floyd's side and he is a
powerful ally.
Another curious circumstance is
the way the Dempsey-Gibbons match
is looked upon here in New York.
There is no more excitement over
1t than it the champion had signed
to box an exhibition with one of his
sparring partners.
If Luis FirpO wins today and
later is matched with Dempsey the
fistic world will await with excite
ment the moment the men sign
