ST. Louis Win With Lots to Spare Easy League Race 1e
SQUADS PUNCHING ;
BAG FOR FOREMAN

AL Foreman, former Fort Myer
soldier boy, gave Joe Souza Of Cali
fornia a terrible 12.round lacing in
the main event at the Kenilworth
arena last night.
The Pacific Coast boy. heralded as
contender for the featherweight
championship. did not show as much
ability in the fighting line as had
been expected. He relied almost ex.
clusively on his left hand-sometimes
a long lead to the body-then an over
hand swing for the jaw. which
occasionally landed. but without much
behind it.
He gave a wonderful exhibition for
gameness and ability to take it,
He was down for a count of two in
the ninth round and for the count of
nine several times in the twelfth.
Keeling and tottering around the
ring in the final frame he was a tar.
get for Foreman's smashes. The
bell mercifully came to his rescue.
While Foreman won hands down
he did not put up the fight of which
he is capable. He fought too
cautiously, apparently respecting the
much touted punching ability of his
opponent. Had he gone in and
fought he doubtless would have
scored a knockout long before the
twelfth.
Sammy Hogan OF the Mohawk
Athletic Club and Eddie DeSimon put
up the best fight of the night in the
semi-final of six rounds. Referee
Short voted draw" while the two
judges balloted for DeSimon.
Sailor Burger was having things
all his own way with Joe Piscatelli
of Fort Myer when he injured his
hand in the second round and was
unable to respond to the bell for the
third stanza. Piscatelli won by a
technical knockout.
Willie Ptomey. the "Rosslyn Thun.
derbolt," squared accounts with Billy
Shattuck for several defeats admin.
istered during Willie's early career.
He gave Shattuck such a pasting in
two rounds that the slaughter was
stopped.
Johnny Walker and Joe Perrone.
liGhtweights, played around with
each other for three rounds, but
something made them mad in the
fourth and final round, so they went
at it good and proper. Perrone re.
ceived the decision.
Battling Bauman stopped Amos
Irvine Of the Rosedale Athletic Club
in the first round.

There was some talk today that
Higgins might come back at the
Cards this afternoon with Pennock,
his one winning pitcher so far, in
desperate attempt to tie the series
on the fourth game and make the
ending Of the fight inevitable In New
York City. That might have some
strategical value if he had anything
with which to come back after Pen
mock But 1t looked like better bet
if he had any other pitcher left IN
whom he had copfdence-to give Pen
mock a little more rest and let MN
pitcl, the last game here and get
back to New York hoping to tie the
series on the home field and eventually
forge ahead.
May Not Win Any More.
But Huesins may not win any more
at all, and then 1t wouldn't make
much difference when Pennock
pitched.
The Yanks failed to score a single
run in the third game yesterday. be-
cause they had absolutely no Follow
UP to their batting. In five OF the
nine innings they got the first batter
on first base and stopped. once Sew
ereid sacrificed and moved Dugan to
second. but that was before pitcher
Haines Of the Cards had raped out
a home run on a nice ball Ruether
grooved for him and sewed up the
game. After Haines had smashed the
ball into the bleachers there was no
further need for the Yanks to sacrl'
flee. They could only hit her out and
thev did hit her out. but mostly into
the hands of the opposing fielders.
That was where Haines had his
luck. The St. Louis outfield was
driven back to get the long snashes
of the Yanks and almost all the in
field hits were mauled straight into
the hands of the fielders. Except for
two or three, all were hit Wickedly,
but it doesn't matter how WlckedlE
batter lams the ball If he doesn't
hit safe. The championship club OF
the American League looked not much
better than a class AA champion
lust as the Cards looked In the first
game at New York, when they were
puzzling over Pennock's delivery.
Soon It Will Be Too Late.
The Yanks seem to be running
race with the streak Of bad hitting
which began toward the end Of the
regular season. If they don't snap out
Of 1t pretty shortly. 1t will be too late
It is pity the Yankees did not win
the first game by home run. If they
had the series Of 1925 might have
gone down in history as the series of
the great bingles. However, If the
Yankee pitchers continue to be as
obliging in growing the ball in the
remaining games as they have so far.
the series may yet get a reputation
as the home run series. 1t was
grooved ball which Shocker fed up to
Southworth in the second game. and
it was a grooved ball that Ruether
served up to Haines yesterday.
why doesn't Ruth make some of
them home runs?" queried a st. Louis
fan.
The answer is simple. 1t Is be-
cause the St. Louis pitchers know
better than to pitch to Ruth where
he can make homers. They are not
so conflding as the New York hurlers.
The rain was a factor In destroying
what little force there was in the
Yankee attack yesterday. It rained
twice during the game and once there
was a delay Of more than 80 minutes
while the rain drenched the bleacher

cessive innings without a run. That's
the longest world series drought since
1921, when Carl Mays and Waite Hoyt
opened that series by winning two sue
cessive 3-to-0 shutouts against the
Giants. The Yanks may extract what
little satisfaction they can get out Of
that fact.
Huggins Has Strong Pitchers.
Higgins has strong pitchers for the
next two games-Waite Hoyt for to.
day and Herb Pennock for tomorrow
But 1t doesn't really matter who
pitches for New York so long as the
Yankees do not score any runs.
The Cardinals. after little nervous
ness and stage fright in the first
game, again are acting smoothly. All
tension has been taken off the club.
Now it is the Yankees. with their
world series experience and every
thing else, who are wearing the wor-
ried looks. They are wondering what
jammed up their flow of base hits.
Haines yesterday turned in one of the
greatest individual feats of any world
series pitcher. Not only did he hold
the Yankees to five hits but his homer
in the fourth. one Of the few ever
hit by a pitcher in a world series,
knocked the Yankees fiat. Incl
dentally, that was the only nome run
that Haines has hit all season. Well,
he saved it for a good spot.
Mark koenig, young Yankee short
stop. did not make so many errors
during$ the past season. but 1t was
where he made them which won him
the reputation for unsteadiness. He
made the first Yankee misplay Of the
series at a very bad spot yesterday.
Mark Koenig's Throw Wild.
Ruether apparently pitched himself
out of a hole in the fourth, when,
with two runners on base, he induced
Thevenow to hit sharply to Koenig.
The Yanks were laying for such a
double play and Koenig had a COM
paratively easy double killing at first,
but his hasty relay to first was wild,
eluded Gehr1g entirely and let in St.
Louis run.
The error unsettled the usually
stolid Ruether. He served one up as
big as a balloon to Haines. supposedly
a joke hitter, and Jess got 'his frame
behind it and lifted 1t. With the
anemic hitting Of the Yanks that blow
was the ball game, but even without
that error the Cardinals were des
tined to get Ruether. He was totter-
ing at the time.

They have been perplexed and disap-
pointed when they could not get the
necessary blank forms and have been
,met with the explanation that the law
affecting 1925 returns has not been
passed by Congress. However, those
who have insisted upon filing have
been told that they may submit their
returns on the basis of the present law
but it is not known whether any later
adjustment will be provided in the law
now pending before Congress.
The situation is an unusual one and
the delay is causing concern among

their returns after the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue announces the re-
lease of correct or amended forms.

TO ENTER THE THEATRE

On December 19, 1925, Mrs Mable
Wright Page purchased a ticket at the
box Office of the Adams Street Theatre,
located on Adams street near Michigan
avenue. When she presented the
ticket to Frank Duncan, the doorman,
he refused to allow her to enter. Mrs.
Page went directly to the Harrison
street court and consulted Assistant
States Attorney Harris B. Gaines,
who had warrant issued for the door
keeper, who was arrested and later
freed upon a $1,000 bail bond.
January 5, 1926, the case came up
for final disposition and Judge Borelli
found the doorkeeper guilty and fined
him $500 and cost of court. Judge
Borelli reprimanded Duncan and Mr..
Levine, owner Of the theatre, and told
them in unmistakable words that he
would not stand for any discrimination
against colored citizens, and while he
was judge would fine every man who
was guilty of discrimination against
any group of citizens. He further told
them that such discrimination must
stop.
Mrs. Page is native Of Chicago, a
graduate of Howard University Law
School, and wife Of Attorney Morris
G. Page, also of Howard.
