The Washington times., 1924-06-16

For just four innings yesterday
the Senators swept along as il
headed toward another victory but
Paul Zahniser seemed unable Il
stand prosperity. His shipmates
blew him to three-run margin in
the opener when two hits blended
with some weird hurting by Ted
Lyons and errors by Kamm, Bar
rett and Grouse and another marker
was suspended by dint Of solid
swatting in the fourth.
Zahniser exploded, however. in
the home fourth and a boisterous
rally, hugely enjoyed by the 10000
cash customers, followed, four runs,
scoring to create a. deadlock.
Lyons was derricked at this point
and replaced by Rip Connally who
surrendered two scattered wallops
In the last five periods, tanning
three and granting only one pass.
On two occasions lightning
double plays grabbed openings
for the Senators, but In the main
they were busy hitting directly
into the clutches Of some south
slider.
The skids were fitted to Zahniser
in the seventh, when the Sox
clinehed the battle, singles Ivy
Collins, Falk and Kamm, sacrifice
by Mostil, a wild pitch, and a pass
TO Shelly producing two runs. This
caused Zahniser to retire and Allan
Russell emerged from the bun pen,
rendering efficient aid to the finish.
All the Washington attack was
centered In the initial session. Rice
walked, and after one out swiped.
Harris tapped to Barrett. Then n
wild pitch put Sam on third. Grouse
picked Iticc off third, but Kamm
dropped the throw.
Goslin's single to center scored
the lead-ofe man, then Goose filched
second. Ruel was safe on Barrett's
tumble, after which Prothro wal.
loped over short, counting Goslin.
Prothr0 also stole second and
moved to third on Crouse's wild
heave to center, Ruel scoring.
Peck walked but on an attempted
double theft, PrOtI1rO was nipped
at the plate.
Singles by Peck, Rice and Mat
thews mixed with Shirley's sacri.
flee yielded the fourth and final
Washington run in the fourth. The
Sox turned right around In THEN
half and evened 1t up.
Mostil singled and Shelly walked,
then Falk forced Mostil at third.
Kamm's single filled the circuit
and wallop by Barrett registered
Shelly and Falk. Grouse was
nicked by a pitched ball, again
populating all the corners and
Hooper, batting for Lyons, SLAPPED
q sacrifice fly to Goslin,t counting
Kamm.
Archdeacon's shot to right Tailed
Barrett with the tying marker and
the rally faded when Collins slashed
to Shirley, forcing Archdeacon at
the keystone corner.

except round arm swings to side
and back, where there could be

he had drilled into him. not to

Wills at times fight like a wooden

The Washington times., 1924-06-16

For nearly two years Harry
Wills has cried for a crack at
Jack Dempsey's crown. He has
been stalled off in one way or
another until he became an OBJ
ject of pity. Finally Tex Rick
ard agreed to give him a chance,
provided he could make the
grade against a couple of trial
horses. Madden was the first
of these trial horses and now
there is grave doubt that Wills
will ever face Jack Dempsey in
the ring.
We have never given Wills
serious thought when it came to
providing amusement for the
champion of the world, exciting
thereby many Washingtonians,
who Immediately took pen in
hand to tell US what they thought
of our judgment.
1t is, therefore, with a bit Of
savage glee that we reprint here
what several metropolitan writers
thought Of Wills after watching
him against BARLEY Madden.
Ed Hughes, a capable writer
cartoonist in the New York Tele-
gram-Mail, says:
evils showing was the most
disappointing this writer has seen
him make since Glenn Johnson
stayed twelve rounds with the
Panther two years ago. His
movements were sluggish; he
fouled continually by holding and
hitting, and his punches lacked
the knockout voltage.
There was a general
impression abroad, last night that
Firpo's chances against the black
man appear UGH brighter.
Many now think that had Firpo
been in the ring last night against
Wills the Panther would not have
been returned the victor.
And as regards a Dempsey
Wills encounter, it was generally
agreed that on Wills form of last
night the champion would have
had little difficulty with his arch
rival. Wills has undoubtedly lost
some prestige in the showing Of
Madden. However, it will not in
jure his prospects to any great
extent. The poor performances
of great fighters are blotted out
in their next impressive showing.
The public soon forgets."
