UNION WORKS FIRST GAME ns5 ] ] JAKE min e7E wEkM aR LOOP nS

Readers were leading by the score of 4 to 1. Salak, Johnson and Mack worked for the losers while Johnny Sheehan and Kopec were the points for the winners.
 The Gascos slammed out eight hits during the game while the Stanley Works were able to get only four. Stevie Dudack, turning back the pages of time about 10 years, was the king pin of the hitters getting three out of three, all of them slash ing singles. Jimmy Green of the Stanley Works belted out a pretty triple while the Gascos got their first two runs on a double by McCor- mack.
 The Gascos scored two in the third and two more in the fifth while the Butt Makers got their lone tally in the sixth and last last frame. Johnny sheehan was painfully hurt when he was struck just above the ankle by a hard hit ball, but after few minutes, he gamely went back into the box and won his game. Frank Sheehan um- pired and except for a few times when he appeared to be without eye sight, he did a good job. His dec- larations of outs on fly balls which were caught. were especially effec- tive. The Gascos will play their Meriden brothers in Meriden Satur- day.

UNION WORKS WIN FIRST
 GAME THROUGH FORFEIT
R. & E. Team Players Fail to Show Up And Sautter Waits 50 Min
 utes to Call Game,
utes to Call Game.

The Union Works baseball team game of the season last night at Willow Brook park when Umpire Herby Sautter forfeited to them 8 game with the R. & E. team by a g to 0 score.
 Sometime late yesterday, the two managers agreed to play their game scheduled for next Saturday after noon, last night instead and the Union Works proceeded to the park in full strength. The contest was called for o'clock and Sautter and Bill Clancy were designated as um- pires. The official score keepers were not notified of the action.
 The Union Works team was on the lot but only few of the R. & E. men were present. The rules of the league allow the umpire 15 minutes to decide whether game will be forfeited or not and Umpire Sautter waited 50 minutes for the R. 6 E. team to show up,
 Then the Lock Makers put a team on the field of eight men, seven of whom were attired in the regulation uniforms. Umpire Sautter would not allow the game to be played under these conditions and after confer ence with Umpire Clancy, the game was called and forfeited to the Union Works, giving them one yic- tory and seven losses in the stand

TEX RICHARD MAY GET,
 PERMISSION FOR BOUT
New York State Athletic Commission Splits On Allowing Dempsey
 to Fight.

New York, July 16 PNA situa- ton has developed in the councils of the New York state athletic com mission which undoubtedly will bring joy to Tex Rickard in his ef- forts to promote a heavyweight championship battle between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills.
 Voting yesterday on the question of permitting a Jack Delaney-Jack Sharkey fight at Coney Island stadi- um in the near future the officials divided 2 to 2, Chairman James J. Farley and License Chairman Phe- Ian voting against the match and commissioners George Brewer and William Muidoon favoring it.
 Brewer immediately questioned the right of Phelan to vote and if his argument succeeds Rickard will be free to carry on his bout outside the state as both Muldoon and Brewer favor a hands off" policy Farney would take away Richards Madison Square Garden license or accomplish some other punishment for the promoter who would not put Dempsey and the negro, Harry Wills into a ring together.
 Also. the Delaney-Sharkey bout could go on, despite a ruling of the commission following the Berlen- bach -Risko match recently that a champion could not meet boxers or other weights. Delaney would be at- fected only If he defeats Berlen- bach for the title tonight.

KAPLAN MEETS GOODRICH
Retired Feathcrweight Champion Makes First Step Into Heavier Glass On Wednesday.

Louis (Kid) Kaplan, retired featherweight champion, will make his first bow to the public as legiti- mate lightweight in quest of the championship in New York state Wednesday night against Johnny Goodrich, former champion. Good rich, who halls from Buffalo, won the title after Benny Leonard had retired, in an elimination contest similar to the one in which Kaplan won the featherweight title, but he held it only short time losing to his fellow townsman, Rocky Kansas. A week ago last Saturday, Kansas lost to Sammy Mandell.
 The agreement for the fight was reached yesterday in New York. Humbert Fugazy who is promoting the Berlenbach-Delan fight tonight was seeking substitute for Ruby Goldstein who is ineligible through a ruling by the New York state commission and when he offered the chance to Kaplan, Denny McMahon seized it and signed the articles.
 Though this is his first fight in the 135 pound class, it will be fine test for Kaplan's ability to step in the heavier poundage. Goodrich be- ing a former champion, will be able to demonstrate whether Kaplan will make a go of it in the lightweight division or not. The Meriden boy is in fine fettle and has been in con- stant training since his bout with Garcia and he will return to Meriden to put in four days hard work in preparation for the fight. The fight will go six rounds.

WETHERED ALSO THINKS
 BRITISHERS TOO LAZY
Inclined to Agree With Hagen in His Estimate of Eng
 fish Golfmg.

London, July 16 R - Roger Wethered, former British amateur champion, believes that Walter Ha- gen gave British golfers good ad- vice in his recent interview, even if he didn't say they were "too gosh darned lazy"
 Young Wethered, who tied Jock Hutchison for the British open title in 1921, and lost on the play off, says judging from the manner in which Hagen's comments on British golf have been received In England honest criticism apparent ly is unwelcome.
 "Various excuses have been offer ed to explain our British defeats" says Wethered. Excuses are only another sign of weakness, and re- suits stare Us in the face.
 T am afraid the truth of the matter is that We are less efficient golfers than the Americans; and the invention of other reasons for our failures does more harm than good. It remains for us to make a fresh start before we can hope tc win back our lost laurels"
 Wethered admits that British golfers as a class undoubtedly have suffered from the natural reaction which followed the stupendous out burst of energy during the long years of the great war, but says the time has now come to make an ef- fort to discover anew means of making Britain's position unassail- able in the playing of the ancient game.

NATIONAL PENNANT RACE
 TO BE FOUGHT M WEST
Eastern Teams Crowded Out of First Positons-Cards Overwhelm Brooklyn-Cubs Triumph Over Braves -Corsairs Blank Gants-Phiies Down Reds Yankees Lose to Tigers - Cleveland and Boston SpIit-Speakers Tribe Take First, Lose Second
By the Associated Press.

h41N fAsGN~'oNSS
 There was every indication in to- days standing of the teams that the 1926 struggle for the National league bunting, now nearing the two-thirds way mark, would be settled on western baseball battle- grounds.
 The east has been crowded com pletely out of the first division - the result of an overwhelming de- feat administered to Brooklyn yes terday by the St. Louis Cardinals, II to 5. The reverse hurled at the casts last remaining first division contender out of fourth place a berth promptly taken over by the Cubs with 3-1 triumph over the Braves under steady pitching by Percy Jones.
 Manager Bill McKechnie went to the whip as the Cubs crowded in behind Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and St. Louis. He fined Eddie Moore s100 for ''listless and indifferent playing" while President John A. Heydler of the National league clipped in q three-day suspension for Catcher Johnny Gooch as a re- suit of the receivers altercation with Umpire Rigler. Then the Cor sairs stepped out and blanked the Giants, to 0.
 The defeat tipped over the Giants just when McGraw had looked for them to swing on through the west in sensational comeback. Four hits were all the former champions could wrench from the pitching of Kren1er. despite the uncertain SUD- port of patched-up infield.
 The Pirates timed their spurt to take excellent advantage of a tenn porary collapse on the part of the Reds. Fourteen hits were amassed by the revolting Phillies to chase three pitchers to the showers and collect an 8-6 victory.
 The result trimmed Cincinnati's margin over Pittsburgh to two and one-half games, with the pressing Cardinals only half game behind the Corsairs. The St. Louis stam- pede of Brooklyn, staged behind a fusillade of IT safe blows, marked the first time this year that Jess Petty was shelled from the mound.
 The faltering Yankees receded still further in the American by dropping 6-2 decision to the Tigers, but a six-game margin over the Athletics kept them out of i'm minent danger.
 Cleveland and Boston halved a twin bill. Smith pitched effectively in the opener and the Indians stepped off to to 2 decision, largely as a result of timely hitting by Summa. But Speakers men could garner only six scattered hits off Heimach in the second, which went to the Red sox by a count of 6-2.
 Emory Rigney turned in an ex- ceptional day in the field, accept ing 24 chances without a miscue

RAIN IS GIFT ID
 PAUL BERLENBACH
Light Heavy Champ Has Chance to Add Many Pounds to Weight

New York. July 16 Op-Fate has laid damp but kindly hand upon the broad shoulders of Paul Berlen- bach to fortify with many pounds the defense of his light heavyweight championship against Jack Delaney tonight.
 It came to him in the hour of need late yesterday afternoon under the protecting curtain of a. steady rain. Before its steady beat upon the battle-ground at Ebbets field had compelled postponement of the struggle for A hours, Berlenbach's foe had been quoted a 6-5 favorite to wrest the crown from him. To- day there was a different story with the champion profiting by the delay to add what critics estimated would vary between five and six pounds for a ringside advantage of probably 10 or more pounds over his rival.
 Required by an alarming jump in weight Wednesday night to fight na- ture yesterday in order to reduce to the class limit, Berlenbach looked finely drawn when he tipped the scales in the afternoon at 174 1-4. Delaney, on the other hand. was eight and one-half pounds under the limit at 166 F. and although his followers consider Berlenbach's big advantage doubtfully Delaney main tained he was in the best condition of his career.
 Critics estimated Berlenbach would exceed 1S0 pounds by the time the two principals were called from their corners by the gong at 10 D. m. eastern daylight saving time tonight. Delaney on the other hand, was expected to scale about ITO.
 Although weights of the two men will be taken, rules of the New York state athletic commission do not re- quire that they make the class linn it in the event of a single nights postponement. Since fair weather is BltdlCNtu 1Ol lOItl5llL Dh thstanding-no further delays are anticipated, although tomorrow night has been reserved for the event in case of another rainstorm tonight.
 Several thousand fans had gather ed at the Brooklyn ball park for the event, and to their disappointment over the postponement was added that of thousands who had come here from all parts of the country to witness the battle by far the out standing light heavyweight struggle of pugilistic history.
 Fans gathered at the gates as early as noon, and by o'clock there was already a long line of 'bleach- erites," many of them with lunches. The park was filling up rapidly when hope of staging the event was abandoned at 5:30 p. m., and ob- servers accepted the rush for seats as an almost certain sign that hum dreds will fail to gain admission to- night.
 Estimates placed the postpone ment loss to Promoter Fugazy. at s25,O00, due largely to the necessity of carrying over many employees for another day.

(BY BILLY EVANS)

Exit Fred Marberry as champion relief pitcher.
 Enter Joe Pate of the Philadel- phia Athletics as his most logical successor.
 Manager Stanley Harris of the Washington club has announced that Fred Marberry is to graduate from mere finisher to a favored starter.
 For nearly two seasons Marberry's chief objects in life, as far as base ball is concerned, was the saving of games for the Washington club. When a pitcher faltered in a tight game, he was invariably rushed to the rescue.
 Marberry's remarkable ability to hold the opposition in check in the pinch played a prominent part in the two pennants won by Washing ton.
 Had an injured arm not forced him out of the 1925 world series Washington probably would have emerged the victor in the annual classic.
 He Wins First Start
 The collapse of the veteran Wash ington pitching staff this year has convinced Manager Harris that several of the old-timers have lost the ability to go the route. They even waver too early in the game to use Marberry to advantage as relief pitcher.
 Realizing this, Manager Harris has decided to give Marberry thorough chance to win himself a job as a regular starter.
 His first opportunity of the season came July against the Boston Red Sox. He worked impressively and gained a 3-2 win over the tail enders.
 Curiously enough, it was the first game Marberry has been permitted to start since the world series of 1924.
 Pitched in 55 Games
 Last season Marberry pitched in parts Ol OO COIlltSlS Dul ulul | WOIh a full game. It was his remark able relief pitching, however, that enabled Manager Harris to juggle his veteran pitching staff to the best advantage.
 If Marberry delivers as a regular. it will mark the passing of one of the greatest relief pitchers of all time. Even as a regular, Marberry. who is a glutton for work, is almost certain to be called on in 8 pinch.
 The toughest thing about start ing a ball game and then finishing it. rather than working a few in- nings, is the difference in the way you must pitch" says Marberry.
 "As a relief pitcher I have made practice of putting all my stuff on every ball. realizing I must hold the opposition. That kind of pitching would soon kill off starting pitcher.
 T am sure my hardest task will be to readjust my style"
 Pate Is 1926 Model
 Now as to Joe Pate. Connie Mack's rather portly southpaw.
 With the season half over, 15 victories scored by the Athletics can be credited largely to Pate's relief work,
 In eight of these games he has been credited with the win, while in seven others he has held safe the narrow margin bequeathed him when he entered the game.
 Pate doesn't appear to have much stuff on his ball but his fast one has little hop that makes the batters pop up, his change of pace is clever, and his knuckle ball practically un- hittable when he gets it over.
 But best of all, Pate has plenty of nerve. He is what is known in baseball as a money pitcher" do- ing his best work when hardest pressed.
 The Athletics would have been lost without Joe Pate this year. He is the 1926 model of Fred Mar berrV in the hero role
