CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-New York re-
tained its three game margin over
the Cleveland Indians today by
swamping the White Sox, IA to O.,
while Cleveland defeated Boston. The
league leaders went on a batting
rampage against three Chicago pitch
ers, Babe Ruth knocking out his 44tE
home run with Meusel on base and
Lazzeri collecting his 18th circuit
BLOW with a mate on the sack Laz-
zeri featured the attack. Waite Hoyt
held Chicago to two hits, one which
came in the seventh when Sheely
singled and the other in the ninth
inning when Collins hit safely. Aside
from the first inning when base
on balls and an error put two men

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21-The heav-
lest legal barrage to which the Demp7
sey-Tunney battle has vet been SUBJ
jected was laid down today.
Firing from legal bulwarks resulted
in no less than six court "shots" being
directed at Dempsey as well as Pro-
moter Tex Rickard and Bill Gibson,
Tunney's manager, by the two out
standing foes of the champion-Jacl<
Kearns, the champions former man
ager, and B. C. Clements, Chicago pro
moter, who is fighting to sustain the
validity of contract to match Demp-
sew and Harry Wills. Application for
an Injunction to stop the fight, made by
Clements, was the outstanding develop
ment in the court maneuvers and loom
ed as the only possible obstacle to the
bout being held, as scheduled, Thurs
day night in the giant Sesqui-Centen-
NAL stadium.
This will not be decided, however,
until tomorrow at a hearing in COM
mon pleas court at 1880 p. m.
Clements simultaneously filed four
actions claiming damages individually
and collectively against Dempsey,
addition to moves already made in New
York and Atlantic City, obtained writ
of attachment here against Dempsey's IS
share of the purse. Rickard was NAM
as garnisliee in the writ and bail was
fixed at $6O0,OOO, representing twice
the amount of Kearns claim. This
was covered by surety bond arranged
by Richard
Dempsey's shares of the purse, it was
revealed by Frank Wiener, chairman of
the Pennsylvania boxing commission, is
a flat guarantee of $45O,OO0, while Tun-
ney's share is fixed at 100000. No
percentages are involved, Wiener said.
Kearns writ, which is expected to
mean tying up of the gate receipts, was
obtained after withdrawal of an at
tempt to stop Rickard from paying
either of the fighters before the bout
in violation of the Pennsylvania box
ing law. Rickard himself took the
stand to deny he had paid money either
to Dempsey or Tunney out of the re-
ceipts for the fight, although the pro-
moter admitted he had made personal
loans to both.
Rickard, after spending most of the
morning in court, expressed confidence
that none of the pending legal moves
would block the fight ad devoted the
rest of the day to inspecting the con-
struction work at the stadium.

MosT vERsATILE HITTER

Who is the most versatile batsman
in baseball? eSI
That is the gist of a query recently
received on the much discussed sub
ject of batting y
If asked that question five to ten
years back, the immediate answer
would have been Ty Cobb. I doubt
if any. player in the history of the
game has performed as efficiently in
all things at the bat as Cobb.
Now that age has taken much of his
speed and he no longer plays regularly
it is necessary to look for his successor.
To my way of thinging, Sam Rice
of the Washington club is the most
versatile batsman in the majors today.
True Rogers Hornsby, Harry He'll
mann and number of other stars are
better batsmen, perhaps, figures alone
considered, but certainly none is more
versatile than Sam Rice.

!. Z DEATHS
Dry Agents Say Stills
Where Whiskey Made
Are Destroyed.

q The fountain Of death which sent
two lives following closely upon the
heels of the dying year, has been de-
stroyed, prohibition officers believe.
sDeath from poison liquor" was the
doctors verdict in the case of two
men who died as the result of New
Years celebrations.
4 1--WE were afraid that something
like this would happen prohibition
agents said when they learned of the
toll of the toasts made in welcoming
1926.
STILLS FOUND.
Stills in which the poison liquor is
believed to have been made were dis
covered and dismantled at the begin
ming of the holidays, according to n.
A. Baker, deputy prohibition admin
istrator Of the Western District.
Much bad whiskey was made, he
said, by inexperienced distillers, who
thought the Christmas demand would
make it possible to sell anything, and
who were not worried about the safety
of those to whom they sold.
LEAD IN STILL.
A few stills were raided just before
the holidays, Mr.. Baker said, the
product Of which must be certain
death.
One of the men who died from the
poison booze was an aged negro who
was found in n groggy state New
Years night near central police sta
ton. He died in cell before medical
aid could be given.
The other victim was an aged Mex
lean. He was found by Ramon Pena,
10, Of 210 South Santa Rosa Avenue,
when the lad went into an old shack
in the rear Of West Commerce Street
yard. Beside the dead man sat jug
containing a small quantity of liquor.
