Matthews Earns Berth Center With Nationals 7a1dy Credit
FINNEGAN AND WARD
FIGHT MONDAY NIGHT

Honey Boy Finnegan, the southpaw
boxer, will strive to topple Chick
Ward, the rugged Baltimore battler,
in the twelve-round feature bout at
the Washington Sporting Club, Ken
ilworth, Md, Monday night.
Bobby Garcia, the Army feather
weight champion, fell before Finne-
gan, and Ward will have job on his
hands to avoid Honey Boys sturdy
left.
Since Finnegan won the feather
weight title of the Navy he has been
progressing rapidly, having ad-
vanced steadily. He hopes to OBJ
tain a match with Johnny Dundee.
Ward will be no "set-up" for Fin
negan, though, judging by the for
mer's record. The Baltimore fighter
held Garcia to a draw decision and
waged a bang-up battle against Cud-
dy De Marko, the Pittsburgh junior
lightweight

Matthews was very much in the
limelight when HaVriS' aggregation
drubhed the Tigers tSe second time
in the three engagements so lar
staged in this center of the automO-
bile industry. He slammed triple
to right and a single to left in four
legal times at bat, scored run, laid
down nifty Sacrihcial bunt that
helped pave the way TO tally,
made two excellent catches and after
retrieving Derrill Pratt's double in
the fifth inning, came through with
a good throw to Bluege that started
the retirement ending the Tigers

The greater part of the fray was
characterized by poor pitching on

then gave way to Herman flllette.

RENO ONLY CHOPPING
BLOCK FOR MARRIOTT

Bob Marriott champion middle
weight of the United States Army,
gave Italion Jack Renzo. Washington,
THE Wild Bull of Ninth Street" a
bad beating last night at Sportland
Heights arena.
RenZo did not even get started.
With the start of the first round, the
Army lad uncorked a Whirlwind of
leftS and rights which swept RenZo
off his feet. Renzo was down for the
count of nine three times during the
first round. the bell saving him from
a knockout.
Only sheer grit carried him through
the second and part of the third
rounds, as Marriott made him kiss the
canvas no less than seven times dur
ing these sessions. While gamely
taking his medicine in the third, Rem
zo's seconds tossed the towel in the
ring. 1t saved d game boy from need
less punishment
Old Mike Ukraine, "the Shiek Of
Bagdad," fooled the wise ones with
his showing against Tex Stovall, the
slugging Mohawk Club battler. Mike
dropped Stovall clean in the first
round for a count of six and then
proceeded to take the next two
rounds. Youth. however. will be
served. and while the stout old fight
ing heart was there, the years had
taken their toll and the stamina of
old was lacking, so Mike slowed up
considerably and Stoyall gave him d
lacing in round four Round five
saw Mike backed up against the ropes
and apparently unable to lift his
hands in protection. Stovall banged
away with solid lefts and rights but
was unable TO drop the old ringster.
Mike, however, was out on his feet
and Heine Miller stopped the fight.

are to give him "F'ohl day" There
is another city in which he was un-
fortunate. They thought in Cleve-
land that he guessed poorly with his
pitchers, and it was the heritage of
that opinion which followed him to
st. Louis, where he was criticised for
changing pitchers in a game against
New York which had much to do with
the pennant.
Second guessers have done more to
hurt Fohis career than any other
thing. He has been compelled to run
Il veritable obstacle race because of
the attacks that have been made upon
his judgment. Yet cold facts show
that he always has brought forward
the team he has been permitted 70
control.
AS the Boston Americans stand
now, they must be reckoned with un-
til they come to an awful flop. They
have not eXa.5. - fought their way TO
the top Of the le.E;ue, because they
have been in ne neighborhoOd of the
top all season. They are retaining
their hold on the first division be
cause they are good and because their
pitchers are doing better than any
one expected they would Also, be
cause they are hitting the ball hard
when hits count.

CAUGHT ON THE FLY

Outfielder Lance Richbourg left the
club last night for Milwaukee, where
he was sent in exchange for Mat
thews, brought to the Nationals orig
inally in a trade for George Fisher.
Manager Harris was greatly surprised
yesterday morning when he learned
from press dispatches that Rich
bourg was to go to the Brewers
pending complete settlement of the
Fisher-East case. orders to ship
Richhourg did not come from Wash
ington headquarters until late yes
terday.
Walter Johnson was to toe the
slab for the Nationals this after
with the Tigers.
In the opening inning yesterday
with Judge and Ruel on the bases,
Peck rolled TO Pratt and was called
out al first by Umpire Holmes, but
Umpire Moriarty ruled that Bassler
had interfered with Peck'S swing at
the ball by Crowding the batter, and
in accordance with section l of
rule 81 of the base ball laws sent
Roger to the initial sack. There

take. Five more tallies followed.

and Cobb on third attempted a dou-
bile steal as Heilmann whitfield. but a

ZahniSer was not especially impress
sive on the slab, yet he managed to
retire the Tigers on StrikeoutS in
the sixth between singles by Blue
and Cole. Bassler famed, the third
pitch to Haney proved to be the
necessary called strike and Cobb
swung for an out at the third ball
thrown him.
GoSIin's home run was hit into the
bleachers in right-center. The ball
barely cleared the railing in front

Conscious that the Yankees were
idle, the. Red Sox swung Howard
Ehmke, their mound ace, into the
ring, but the Sisler tribe took a most
unexpected liking to Ehmke's slants.
AS a result the Red Sox are now
sharing their upper berth with the
Huggins tribe.
The Cubs. playing almost desperate
base ball, toppled over the faltering
Giants. McGraw dispatched four
twirlers to the mound, offered up a
trio of pinch hitters and even swap
ped catchers for luck, but the Cubs
were not to be denied. Vic Keen

WALKER-LEONARD GO
NOW SEEMS CERTAIN
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, June 6.-Whether or
not Walker held back a trifie against
Lew Tender, the fact remains that
him and Benny Leonard has been in
creased. And according to the dope,
il is a cinCh the two will meet in New
York this summer.
New York will be the scene. because
it is New York that has shown the in
creased interest above noted. New
Workers like to see Benny win fights,
and it is figured that Walker in view
of the showing Tender made against
the welter king, will be apple sauce
for Leonard.
The extent to which Leonard and
Billy Gibson are impressed by this
belief will be reflected by the terms
they demand for the privilege of try
ing TO win the JerseymanS title.
The fight, to draw customers in
large numbers to the scene of aCtivi-
ties, will have to be decision affair,
and this eliminates Jersey at once.
Gene Turner is n fine, clean chap and
a credit to his profession. Thus it
comes hard to speak derisively of
the talk that after he fights his way
through several tough opponents he
will go against Dempsey. Just the
same the project has to be laughed
off Tunney has got as much business
against Harry Wills, Firpo and
Dempsey as Johnny Dundee has.
James J. Johnston has two New
York ball parks in mis- grip. but to
date he has not done anything with
his opportunity. Looks as though in
the end some ono will have to ap-
proach Tex Rickard for a business
talk.

Folding Clothes Properly Is
 Simple

THE man who travels with a suit
 case need not hunt up tailor i'm
 mediately upon his arrival at his destination if he has, his clothing prop erly folded.
 Folding the trousers is simple mat ter. So is the coat when you know how, and when properly folded this article of wearing apparel will emerge from the suitcase without wrinkle.
 Just spread the coat out flat on the table or bed with the right side up. First arrange the sleeves so the seams are toward each other and following the center seam of the coat, then turn the sleeves up at the elbow. If it is a dress coat fold the tails up from the waist line and lay them over the sleeves. Now carefully fold the coat,so the two fronts come together.
 This brings the lining outside. A coat should not be folded smaller than this. but if absolutely necessary to do so the next fold should be at the point where the folded sleeves end.
