In the box. he had the heavy hitters of the other team swinging Vainly and struck out the sluggins Bradley and Deodorian twice apiece. His total number of strikeouts wal seven, and those who hit sent the ball into the air, there being only one putout at first base. Bradley also pitched strongly.
 The hitting of Rockwell, Havlick Adams, and Christ featured, and clever bits of fielding were contrib uted by Stockman, Szabo, Blodgett, and Spring. Carlson and Adams dis tinguished themselves behind the bat, the latter getting several at- tempted base stealers. The line-ups and score by innings:

 Blue Army Victorious The Blue Army nosed out the First Baptists in tight battle. 7-6, and advanced into fifth position. It was a see-saw affair, the teams zig tagging back and forth until the Bluebirds finally stepped out into a precarious lead In the fifth inning and held 1t. This inning was a tough one. a dropped throw and a passed ball letting in the run that proved the needed margin.
 Tn the last inning the Baptists tried hard-too hard. for Shea at- tempted to steal second and was cut down. An instant later Frank Feif- fer smashed home run along the left field foul line, but the one run was not enough to tie the game up. Johnson, Stohl and Anderson hit well. Westerman made a great run ming catch of liner, and Judd pull in tricky Texas leaguer.

BOYS LEAGUE
Two Good Games Scheduled To Be Played This Afternoon At Walnut Hill Park.

A real battle is scheduled for this afternoon at Walnut Hill park in the New Britain Boys league when the Boys club and Smith teams meet. The Washington club will play Will low Brook park in the other game scheduled, but owing to the weak ness of the South End team, the league leaders are favored to win handily.
 The second game, between the Boys Club and the Smith teams, is expected 10 be lively battle be- cause of the unexpected strength which the Smiths have been show ing in their last few games. The Boys club swamped the Smiths in their meeting a few weeks ago. but a different tale might be unfolded this afternoon.

DEMPSEY AGREED ID FIGHT WILLS
Heavyweight Champion to Pre-
 sent His Case Once Again

New York, Aug. 10s-Jack Demp. isey, king of the heavyweights, car. red his case to the supreme court of boxing again today and the pugil. lstic boil, irritated for four years came to head.
 The records Of the case-one Of the longest in ring history-shows that on three different occasions the champion agreed to meet his negro chalienger, Harry Wills, and the ar gument against him as he applied today for license to carry on his trade in New York state appeared to be that he had failed to accept this challenge.
 But there are arguments for both sides-on one occasion not so long ago Dempsey ignored an ultimatum from the state athletic commission that he make known his intentions. At that time his former manager, Jack kearns, informed the commis- sioners by wire that Dempsey had accepted the challenge once and there was no need for accepting it over and over again.
 Here is a history of thesDempsey- Wills affair in brief form: 1 1922: June 13-Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills posted a challenge and for felt of s2,500 with the commission. June 2S = Commission gave Dempsey 10 days 10 accept.
 June 29 - Dempsey formally ac- cepted and urged immediate confer ence to decide on date.
 July II - Dempsey and Wills signed contract to meet within sixty days after a reliable promoter un- dertook to stage match. 1928: February 2 William L. Null doom, then chairman of the commits sion and still member, announced that Dempsey would not be permit ted to meet either Wills or Willard in Now York state. All heavyweight bouts were banned.
 August 24 - Licenses were grant ed to Dempsey and kearns. September - Dempsey, hearing Mullins attempted to prevent cham pion's bout with Firpo, said Wills never would get chance. September 10 - Wills petition to stop Firpo bout was denied. 1924:
 Jan. 12 - Mullins quoted as de- Inanding s5Oo,000 for Wills to face Dempsey.
 May 1 Rickard announced Dempsey and Wills to meet in Jer- Isey City in September July - Rickard announced Dempsey not to enter ring during lyear.
 March - Commission issued ul- timatum that Dempsey must agree within 24 hours to fight with Wills. March 7 Kearns said Dempsey would meet Wills if commission financed match.
 March - Time limit for accept ing Wills bout extended to 15 days.
 March A - Dempsey placed on ineligible list.
 April 2S Dempsey said would give Rickard two weeks to arrange meeting with. Wills.
 April 2S - Appeared before com mission but failed to answer question directly, leaving that to Kearns.
 July 16 - Returned from Europe and was signed by Rickard for Wills bout.
 July IT -. Appeared before com mission and formally accepted Wills challenge.
 August - Commission announc- cd champion ineligible until signed for match.
 September - Signed with Floyd Fitzsimmons to meet Wills-all for feits posted.
 Dempsey now contends that fail- ure of those who obtained the con- tract for Fitzsimmons to go thorugh with the terms left him free to meet Gene Tunney under Richards aus pices at the Yankec stadium Sep tember Is.

The biggest upset of the City League play so far this year was furnished by the Speedboys, late en- tries in the loop, when they took fall out of the Burritt team, leader of the league.
 The victory of the Speedboys comes as surprise and now follow CTS of the team are bemoaning the fact that the team had to enter the season play at a late date. The Speedboys replaced the Orioles in the league and assumed their three Host games.
 ''Yiggs" Patrus may be out of the game for a few weeks and again, he may be able to step out in uniform next Sunday. He received two bad gashes in his leg Sunday in Meriden when Jimmy Alexander spiked him as he was stealing second. One of the cuts required four stitches to close 1t up and although no serious complications are expected to fol- low, the Kensington second base man may be among the missing in the first game of the series between sthe two teams Sunday.
 Managers Buckley of Kensington and Veniski of the Falcons held very agreeable meeting last night and decided all details in connec- ton with a series between the two teams. They will play the best three out Of five.
 The first game will be played in kensington this coming Sunday and the teams will play every other Sum- day from then on until the last game, which is scheduled for Oc- tober 3, providing the series goes five games.
 Manager Abe Aronson of the Ori- oles stepped in this morning to tell the world that the Orioles have not passed out of the picture. Abe has been away on vacation for the past two weeks at Lake Congamond, and he stated that several other players on the team have been away also.
 He is out to arrange fast game for this coming Sunday and hopes to land the Slovak A. c. of Forest vile as his teams opponent. The team will practice Thursday evening at Walnut Hill park.
 When asked about whether Salak had left the Orioles to become reg ular member of the Burritts, he stated that he was not informed on the subject. He took notice of the fact that Salak had pitched for the Burritts against the Reformatory team in Cheshire last Saturday, but whether this means that the twirler has switched teams is something he doesn't know definitely yet.
