Charges Not To Stop Fight

Washington, Sept. 3.-The depor- tation charges brought against Luis Angel Firpo, the. Argentine heavy weight, by the Rev. William S. Chase of New York, and his associates, Is expected by persons in close touch with the department of labor to have no effect on the big fighters engage ment to meet Harry Wills, negro ring star, September II.
 MT. Chase, who has been pressing his complaint against the pugilist before the department, has been as- sured that investigation of the charges, which also name Miss Blan- ca Picart, Argentine manicurist, was being expedited. It is pointed out by those familiar with procedure in deportation cases however, that, even should the charges, which Fir DO has denied, be sustained by an immigration board prior to the scheduled bout, he would have re- course to the courts, and that such an involved procedure could hardly be concluded within the next eight days.
 The investigation, meanwhile, had not progressed last night to the point where a deportation hearing by an immigration board was in order. Department officials asked Henry H. Curran, immigration commissioner in charge at Ellis Island, for report on the inquiry yesterday, and were informed that it was proceeding in due course but had not been com pleted.

An idea of Hornsby's remarkable batting this season may be obtained from the fact that if the Cardinal star were to play in the 30 odd re- maining games scheduled for his team and fail to get hit for the balance of the 1924 season he would wind up the season with an average better than 330 based on four trips to the plate in each of the games. Hornsby, at present, is out of the game due to a damaged hand. He had a batting average of ASA. He had made 200 or more hits, four out of five years

'HRPO SHIFTS CAMP
 ID MADISON SQUARE
ArSentinean Pulls Up Stakes and Departs From Saratoga Springs

By The Associated Press.
 New York, Sept. 3,--The training camp of Luis Angel Firpo, Argentine heavyweight, has been suddenly shifted from Saratoga Springs to Madison Square Garden, The South American will tune up his punches for Harry Wills under the careful eye of Tex Rickard while his attor- neys will sharpen up their legal jabs for the anticipated battle with Canon Chase which Is scheduled for Sep tember 20. nine days after his ring engagement with Wills.
 The legal net which Cano Cnhase has set to bring about Firpos depor- tation has so perturbed the Argen- tine that he could not concentrate on his training and as result Rickard seized the reins suddenly yesterday and ordered the South American 10 come to New York to finish his work
 Although Firpo's attorney denies that the deportation charges have uHythlIb tO ho Wltil tliN of training scenery, the South American pulled mp stakes yester- day in such haste that outside of Juan Hons, Richards personal rep resentative, not another member of the training camp staff was aware of the departure of the Argentine until he was on a train bound for New York.
 Firpo looks to be fit. He said | upon his arrival that he weighs 220 pounds, two pounds more than he expects to scale when he steps into the ring against Wills at Boyle's Thirty Acres, September Il.
 He said he would take up his. training here today, where he left off yesterday, his staff of sparring partners being due to arrive here this morning. He remained at the home of friend in the city last night but expects to establish per- manent quarters in a local hotel to- day. He claimed he was entirely satisfied with his present physical condition.

DAZZY VANCE, PITCHING SENSATION OF YEAR, .
 PROVES LIVELY BALL NO BARRIER TO GENIUS
(By Billy Eyans)

Dazzy Vance Of the Brooklyn Ma tions is easily the pitching sensation of the major leagues this year.
 In season replete with unusually good pitching performances, Vance holds the center Of the stage without much opposition, ...
 On August 2S. of this year. pitch ing against Chicago, Vance won his twenty-second victory of the season. It was his tenth straight win. To turn the trick he was compelled to fan Is opponents.
 Fifteen strikeouts is a modern Ma tional leaguei record. It falls one short of the American league record made by Rube Waddell in 1908.
 The tenth straight win is a Ma tional league record for the year, topping Cary Mays string of nine and equaling the American league record for the year made by Hollis Thurston of Chicago,
 Vance's Record Chances
 When Vance hung up his twenty second victory of the year Brooklyn had played 119 games, leaving S5 more contests to be engaged in by | that team.
 Figuring that Vance will start every fourth day, it is reasonable to expect that he will take part in at least nine more games. If used as relief pitcher in an effort to save some games, maybe ntore.
 What are Vance's chances under existing conditions to break some of the stellar pitching performances of the game?
 Walter Johnson, in 1913. won S6 games and lost only seven. It is not likely that Vance will disturb that record.
 Joe Wood of Boston, in 1912, won S5 games and lost only five. His club won the pennant and the world series that year, his pitching featur- ing both.
 Lively Ball Handicap
 In all probability Vance will better the late Bill Donovan's mark of 26 wins and four defeats, made almost 20 years ago as a member of the Detroit club.
 Vance may break the American league marks for consecutive wins by a pitcher. held by Joe Wood and Walter Johnson To better the Ma tional record of 19 straight, made by Rube Marquard in 1912, is con- siderably more more difficult.
 Most of the records that Vance is shooting at were made before the advent of the lively ball. In giving proper recognition to Nance's great pitching it must be remembered that he has heaved the 'jack-rabbit' ban.
 Vance should register about 23o srikeouts this year, remarkable performance. With 22 wins and only four defeats charged against him he has 193 strikeouts to his credit.
 Chicago's Easy for Vance
 The Chicago Cubs have been easiest for Vance. In one game he whiffed II Cubs, In another 14, and in his last appearance against that club he set down Is on strikeouts.
 In 10 of his starts this year, Vance has struck out nine or more men His poorest showing in this respect was in a recent to win over Pitts burg, in which he struck out only two men
 New York trimmed him in two ot his first four defeats, once stopping him after he won six games and an other time four straight.

BROOKZ YN BEGINS TO STRIVE
 EORNAHONAL LEAGUEHAG
Robins Win 21 Out of Last 25 Games Played-Take Victory After Vance Is Driven From Slab.

New York, Sept. 3. - Brooklyn, John Alden of the National league, has abandoned it's suit to Miss Pen nant for the Giants and is speak ing for itself.
 Throughout the season the Flat bush representative obligingly lost game after game to its Manhattan neighbor; on the last western trip, after the Pirates had taken four straight from McGraw's team, the Robins temporarily blocked the path of Mckechnie's men by infiicting three defeats.
 But still the Giants were bashful; the bold corsair pressed his suit in- sistently and Brooklyn, needing the urging of Dazzy Vance, began to speak for itself, The Robins have won 21 of the last 25 games played, have picked nine contests off the Giants lead in three weeks and are today only two contests behind the leaders and one back of Pittsburgh in second.
 Vance Knocked From Box
 Familiarly considered as a tail to Dazzy Vance's kite; the Robins yes- terday reversed the arrangement by batting out 12 to 9 victory after the Phillies had knocked Vance from the box in one inning The feat temporarily preserved Dazzy S string of victories from Interruption Hollingsworth, a recruit held the Phillies to five hits and won the second game, to 3.
 The Giants exchanged bows with Boston. Cooney beat them to 3 in the first game but McQuillan held the Braves to five hits in the second for. a 10 to ? victory. Jimmy O'Connel, famous s75,000 beauty who broke into the game when Will son was injured Monday, made six hits in nine times at bat.
 The youthful Pirates and the Cubs were restrained by rain al Pittsburgh. St. Louis and Cincinnati were not scheduled.
 Washington Rests
 Washington, after winning fl ot its last 17 starts, rested yeterday but the Yankees remained a game and half behind the Senators by splitting double-header with the Red sox, losing the first 14 to s and winning the second 5 to 2.
 Ruth retired from the second game with lame left arm but the difficulty is not serious. Ear Coombs, promising recruit whc broke into the regular lineup 1T June and few days later broke 6 leg, returned to the game for the first time yesterday as a pinch hit, ter but failed to produce.
 Detroit virtually fell out of the race, seven games back of Wash fngton, by dropping two to the tail end White SoX, who almost climbed out of the cellar. In the first game Thurston allowed seven blows il the s to ? victory, his 18th of thu season, Lyons went the route in thu to 5 win Of the second but Leon ard was knocked from the box.
