No, they didn't have divorces in their
welded partnerships just as they didn't
have ether in their operations, and with
about the same result. They grinned and
bore it, but it was a brutal process.

 The Walnut A. C. is fast stepping outfit and should give the locals good battle.
 Although the Falcons have not been playing, as a club, continuously during the past several weeks, the boys are by no means out of practice for their players all are members of other or ganizations and have been playing plenty. Just as one instance, there is their catcher, klatka, who put up a whale of a game for the Saint Mary's last Saturday. He caught a steady game and was bear with tho bat seeking out three baggcr that ought to have been stretched into a homer

"It's thee Innate"

| Ibs tncc llnstc'
 That is the way the folks out west explain many Of the phenomena of their great country.
 Baseball men are wondering if the climate might not work the other way relative to some of the star play CTS of that section. During the past two yearu several major league club owners have been badly jolte1 in their dealings with players hailing from the far west. For instance
 John McGraw of the New York Giants paid s7b,OOo for Jimmy O'Connell in real money. The man ager of the Giants figured O'Connell would win s place in the outfeld and give the club a batting punch.
 Most of time since joining the Giants O'Connel has done bench duty.
 Kanim a Great Fielder
 The Chicago White Sox paid re- puted price of sl00.oO0 for Third Baseman Bill Kamm.
 In tho field Kamm had lived up 10 all advance notices. but hasn't done so well at the bat, Recently at his own request he was taken out of the game and given few days rest.
 A year ago Connie Mack paid in the ncighborhood of s50,e00 for ! Third Baseman Sammy Hale.
 While Hale had previously been | tried by Detroit and sent back, Mack | i,a ,II ,irl, strength to the Athletics. Allowing | for his fielding faults, the leader of the As was confident he would sup | ply a batting punch to his club.
 Hale SIumps at Bat
 Last year Hale, who had batted 1 around $50 In the Coast league, to ..2S with the Mackmen. This year when he failed to do even as well, he was benched in favor of Riconda.
 Probably the biggest disappoint- ment of Macks entire baseball ca reer. was the showing of Outfielder Paul Strand, recently sent to the To- ledo club of the American assoca- ton. Strand was s50,000 invest ment
 Last year, with Salt Lake in the Pacific Coast league, Strand led that organization in hitting with the re- markable average of .394 for 194 games.
 Strand, in amassng that average, made 325 hits. including dS home 'uns, 13 triples and 66 doubles. He 1 ,atted in 1S7 runs.
 Strand Proves Failure f Surely Strand will give my club { batting punch, thought Mack. With { he Athletics he h.- only a little bet { CT than 200.
 They do say that the high altitude I ,f Salt Lake City where strand I1 played, plus the short fences. helped f greatly in his 1923 Coast league bat t Ing spree.
 Its the climate" may be a proper : of the failure of some # the highly. touted coast batting . tars to come through.

NATHAN DEAD 'UN?
 FIGURES DENY IT
MeTiden Writer Shows Where He
 Draws Down Big Gate

Is Kid" Kaplan s'iead nm when il
 comes to drawing down the gate
 Here's what the sports writer of the .Aieriden Record digs up in the way
 Of financial argument:
 Johnny Dundee, featherweisht
 champion. hard-pressed by Louis
 tRidl kaplan Of this city for
 championship bout recently sought a
 weak excuse in an offer to stall the fstic affair which might mean the
 loss of his remaining crown of the
 glorious learm of Fistians. Dundee claimed that Kaplan was
 not drawing card and therefore not
 tho man 10 fight him for the feather
 weight title.
 But Dundee was wrong. Recent explorations in the financial and iistic past history of the Meriden Mite brought forth some records that prove Dundee was wrong.
 Getting down to the vital statistics Kaplan has fought A big fights. Of lllHL nf nus Npi aTr loHt h and knocked ont Ave Of the A and battlod seven draws. When 1t comes to money the entire purse that Rap Ian has collected is s46,0a9,02. Here's enough right now to more than prove the rashness of the cham- pion's statement.
 Kaplan's first big light was really with Sammy Waltz, of Hartford. whom he met here. Hugh Rorty was manager of the Insurance City boy and he was more than confident that his protege would polish of the Kid. But he didn't and for that fight Louis received s400. This battle took place on July ]. 1921.
 During the rest of the year Kaplan fought Kid Lewis, of Canada, Willie Murphy, Pete Mcdonald. Billy De1Toe, Al Shubcrt. Dutch Brandt. Freddie Jacks and Jimmy Dwyer--and did not lose decision. His total earnings for the season were s4,555.75. The battle was with DeFoe whom he defeated in five rounds. The rest of the affairs went the usual 12 rounds.
 In 1922 the Kid continued his won- dcrful work in the ring and polished off 5 by decisions and three by knockout. He lost two and fought one draw. He added S15,1S3.e7 more to his bank account in 1922. Ills were over Dick Russell twice, once by knockout, Mickey rravers. Al Wagner, Artis Rose Hughie Hutchinson. Johnny Williams, Johnny Lissee, Iarl Baird (twice, once by knockout), 1ddie kidD Wagner, Johnny shu- rue, Andy Chaney, Gene Belmont lnd Kid Sullivan. He fought the lraw with IIugl1ie Hutchinson and ost to Eddie Qiid) Wagner and Babe Ierman
 In 1923 Louis fought Ii battles, winning seven, losing one and draw ng on three. Of the II he took two " knockouts. Again his bank book howed gain of s15,34O. Those he off included Mackey Travers 'abe Herman, Harvey Bright Danny rush O1nockout). Tommy Noble and Allentown Johnny He lost to Al Shubert and ought the non- decisions with Babe Ierman.
 So far this season Kaplan has armed S11,O00 with his two hands Ut mainly the left one. He hung urtains on Eddie Brady. Billy DeFoe nd Babby Garcia, fought draws with arcia and Cuddy, DeMarco Uwice) nd has not been defeated nor ad- mustered a knockout punch.
 Perhaps it would be good idea , bring all these facts to the atten- on of Johnny Dundee just as a re- inder that he is meeting an oppon- 1t worthy of championship con- iteration.

WCENTINI KAYOS
 KANSAS IN llTH
Puts Rocky Away After Getting
 Worst Of Fight

| New York, July 15.--Iliis Nicentini of Chile, knocked out Rocky Kansas, | Buffalo lightweight, in the eleventh round of scheduled 15 round match at the Greensboro A. C. last night. The end came in sensational finish in which the Chilean rallied to the highest peak of his pugilistic career and stopped one of the most rugged lightweights in the ring.
 The knockout blows, q series of right and lefts which staggered the Buffalo boy and forced him to wilt to the rosined floor, came at an un- expected time as Nicentini had, the round previous, measured his length on the canvas when one of Kansas wild rights caught Vicentini flush on the jaw. The end came after two minutes and 16 seconds of fighting in the eleventh round.
 Kansas Was Leading.
 Up to the point of the knockout, the fight had assumed a distinct Kan sas tinge. The Buffalo lad had the better of the match and was appar- cntly well on the road to victory
 The eleventh round opened, strong, Vicentini coming back wonderfully well after his trip to the floor in the tenth round. He rushed Rocky to the ropes and pounded the American with 8 fusillade of blows. Kansas crouched. His hands to his head, to protect him from the fury of the Chilean's storm of blows.
 Kansas Is KayOed.
 But Vicentini, scenting victory. bore in and knocked Kansas down with a | well measured right. The Buffalo lad | was as surprised as the shocked | crowd He took one count and was up but Vicentini was on top of him | and fired away at the groggy Kansas | from long range, Kansas finally sink ng to the floor. at the count of nine | he attempted to rise. got up to his 'cet but before Vicentini could bound | icros the ring to him he reeled around | md sank into a heap in front of the | ime-keeper's stand
 Kansas had survived the ordeal perfectly up to this count. He was and apparently full of con idence as he answered the bell for he eleventh round. But in that brief
