possible that the caravan will pick
UP the St. Louis Nationals at Kan

whence they would go north to their

Soccer Football Taking
Place of Bull Fighting

London, Sept. Fl R)-Soccer foot
ball is playing havoc with bull tigft-
ing in Spain. Senior Alcaras captain
Of the Madrid football team which
has been playing matches in Eng
land says the astonishing progress
soccer Is making in Spain Is having
a humanizing effect upon lovers of
the spectacular and that 1t will not
be long before bullfghting is ousted
as the sport Of the nation.
II feel sure" said Alcaraz, that
football eventually will supercede
bull fighting. If 1t was not for the
fact that the bull fighting season is
in the summer time and the football
season comes in winter, this would
have happened long ago. We have
evidence. both in Madrid and Bar
celona, the two principal football
centers, that football is proving the
more attractive sport to the people.
Where football games have clashed
with events in the bull ring, the lat
ter have been postponed owing to
poor attendance"
Senior A!caraz added that up to
now only amateurs had played foot
ball in Spain. but he predicted that
in two years the leading clubs would
be made up Of professionals. Ameri-
can and English coaches are train
ing the players.

WALKER Defending
HIS TITLETONIGHT
Dave Shade Gets Chance 10
Win LaurelS

New York, Sept 81 Ps-Mickey
Walker Of Elizabeth n, j. VIII step
into the ring at the Yankee stadium
at 10 o'clock tonight TO defend his
worlds wcIterwright title against
Dave Shade of San Francisco after
sidestepping his releGiless challenger
since he lifted the crown from Jack
Brtton at Madison Square Garden in
1922.
Walker is a 7 to fu,orIte to win
the 15-round bout, both boxers are
expected TO weigh in under the
limit of 147 pounds. Shade is taller
than the champion by two and one
half inches and has longer reach
by about four inches which may
count heavily IN close fight
Exclusive of the knockout he reg
istered over Jimmy Sattery of Buff
falo, Shade shows only four knock
outs in about GO struggles, On the
other hand. Walker has scored 20
knoCkouts in approximately the
same number OF contests
There is little love between the
principals, a situation aggravated by
the long delay in the making OF the
match. For a time the champion
was under suspension in this state
for neglectng to answer the chal-
lenge,
If the weather Is unfavorahle the
fight will be postponed until Friday
night.
Shade has crouch, involving
weaving and ducking, that puzzled
Slattery. Walker is regarded as a
faster boxer and a heavier hitter
than his challenger.
Before Walker won the title he
met Shade twice in no-decision bouts
in New Jersey. One went the limit
of IL rounds and in the other Walker
won In seven rounds when Shade
broke his right thumb.

RED SOX CAPTURE
TITLE AS CHAMPS
Defeat KenSinSton 81 in Final
Contest

The curtain went down on local
baseball Saturday afternoon when
Johnny Tobin's Corbin Red Sox cap
tured the city series from kensing-
ton by a score Of 8 to !?
1t was a satisfactory conclusion to
season of good baseball, Had the
game ended with a Kensington win.
the Paper Town lads would be the
champs, Of course, but in tho opin-
ion of nearly every unprejudiced fan
who witnessed the two clubs in the
.tituar series, Corbin's would still be
the best nine.
Now that the season Is over and
both teams have been sect at their
best and at their worst, it is a safe
Appraisal of the relative merits OF
the two teams to say that the Red
Sex have a club so per cent faster
than Kensington. And this state
ment Is made with the knowledge
that Patsy Buckley's boys are any,
thing but slouches at the national
pastime. Kensington gave a good
account Of itself during the season
and in the closing series II was a
team well fitted for the position of
runner up, even though not cham
pionship aggregation.
To begin with. the Corbin battery
in Saturdays game was perfect.
Rerg threw them for the "C's" with
Dutch Leidke handling Kensingt on's
twirling assignment. Dutch was
touched up for a bundle of hits,
while Berg allowed precious few
none at all until the fourth inning.
Then, in the backstop position.
there was Mickey Noonan with the
| Corbin uniform and Jack McKeon
catching for Dutch. Everyone who
has followed baseball around these
parts in the last decade knows Jack
McKeon handles them well. but the
sad part Of this comparative yarn
for the kensington backstop, is that
everyone knows Mickey and his
work. The catching honors just had
to go to Mickey.
Constable Mickey Huber had a
day Of it in the field. II seemed
| like it would be impossible for the
speedy outfielder to drop one if he
wanted. He speared them with one
hand while on a dead gallop-and
when Mickey Huber is on a dead
gallop he's making knots. and no
mistake about It. One OF his catches
lie made after tripping and falling,
dashing madly through brook,
jumping pile of hedge and then
spearing while still in high gear.
Ray Begley finished the season in
a blaze of glory. He was about the
only kensington man to be counted
on to get on base and in doing so
he built up his hitting average bit.
Both teams played first class ball.
| The Red SoX played a faster all
around game and being able to
touch up Leidke for hits went into
the lead in the opening inning. A
Ole run lead seemed to put the
dampcr on Kcnsington, and it was
not until the ninth inning, after
Corbin's had piled up two additional
runs. that Kcnsington nosed one
across.
The game drew a big crowd, au-
tomobles being lined up all around
the field and the grandstands being
filled. Mike Lynch called the balls
and strikes and Jimmie Mahcr off.
