League Standing

The P. & f. Corbin team went into
the lead again in the Industrial
baseball league last night when ii
defeated the Russwin team in one
of the games played at Walnut Hill
park. The Stanley Rule team de-
feated the New Britain Machine
| contingent and went into a tie with
them for fourth place.
Stanley Rule Wins
| Billy Wolfe was the king pin OF the
Stanley N,ule G. Level baseball team
in its to victory over the New
Britain Machine team last night on
| Diamond No. 2. Allowing only six
| hits. no two of them in any single
inning, Billy held the Machine bat
tiers helpless before his slants and
through an error of Simons on third
base. He threw wildly to first base.
After the first INNING, the Newma-
tics couldn't do anything with Wolfe
speeding thea over the plate.
Ernie Anderson. ace of the Ma
"duece" in last nights game. The
STANLEY Rule got him for 10 hits and
bunch a them in the first, third and
sixth frames for most of their runs.
Erny. doubly effective before last
night Tainst the Rulers. seemed to
be missing his usual stuff as the Ru-
lers whaled the ball out on cripples
which Anderson was forced to serve
down after getting in a hole.
| Anderson walked four men and
struck out four. Wolfe walked one
and struck out eight. From the story
alone, the result of the game might
| be deducted.
The Machiners scored first in the
opening inning when krause landed
a fast one in the tennis courts for
two bases. Simonc took a grounder
from Eric Anderson and heaved the
ball clear over Jack Argosy's head
allowing Krause to bring in the New
MATES only run.
The Stanley Rule wasted no time
in getting back this run and adding
two more. Jervis walked, Thorsten-
son singled and Schaefer tripled to
right field. Argosy singled and Car
rozza singled to bring in a total of
three runs. A walk, a single and a
double brought in 20 more in the
third. A single and double scored an
other in the sixth while a walk, a
stolen base and two infield plays
served to give the team its seventh
and last run in the eighth inning.
To DARBY" Carrozza goes the
cake for his work in the infield. He
handled eight hard chances at Sc
cond base, seven of them being put
outs, without an error. Wolfe fielded
his position nicely. Krause and Milo
Argosy did nice work on the defen-
sive for tho Newmatics. The sum-

terday when it swamped the lowly
Russwin nine by an II to 2 score,
The game was free hitting and
loosely played affair with the Corbin
batters hitting hard at all times.
"Huggie" Carlson, pitching for the
winners, served them over in good
style. He allowed four scattered
hits and up to the seventh only two
of these had been secured off his de-
livery. Two bing!es in this frame
gave the Russwins their only scores
of the game. Moreli poked out
home run with Blanchard on the
sacks. In the other innings. Carlson
was as tight as drum with his
hits.
The Corbin team got total of Is

DEMPSEY RESUMES
TRAINING TODAY
Ez-Champion Satisfied That He
Will Overcome Sharkey

White Sulphur Springs, Saratoga
Lake. N. Y, July 13 R}-After day
of idleness, Jack Dempsey, once king
of all heavyweights, was ready for a
renewed assault on his battered
corps of sparring partners at Tom
Luther's lake side training camp
today.
With only six more days of train
ing left before he steps into the
ring to meet the Boston sailor boy,
Jack Sharkey, at the Yankee Sta
dun. a week from tomorrow night,
Dempsey is satisfied he will over
come the youth and speed of Shar-
key with an old fashioned exhibition
of punching.
Dempsey has failed to display any
flashing speed. and his boxing has
been conspicuous by it's lack Of eff
fectiveness. But he has been punch
ing, punching apparently as hard as
ever in his brilliant career and it is
the power OF his punch on which
Dempsey depends to carry him
through to a victory over the light
ming fast Sharkey.
Dempsey has deliberately taken
blow after blow from his sparring
mates, to weave into close quarters
and batter away at their blow
wracked bodies. Three-Jack Kill
debrand, Bill Bately, and Pietro Cor
ri-left yesterday. One-Eddie Nc
Mullin-has been unable to box in a
week. Two-Chief Metoquah and
Marty Gallagher-wcre stiGfened in
their last workouts.

FRANCE Threatens
TO COP DAVIS CUP
Tilden Convinced That Court
Stars Will Be Hard to Beat

New York, July 10 R-Hom.
from a two-months' tour of Europe
William T. Tilden is thoroughly con
WINGED that Frances tennis star
will be harder than ever to beat il
the Davis cup challenge round.
Big Bill' has wholesome re,
spect for Rene Lacoste. Jean Boro.
ira and Henri Cochet, declaring thai
their game is sounder and more ag.
gressive than in 1926.
"One thing I learned abroad" the
former champion said after his ar.
rival with his partner, Francis 7
Hunter and other members of the
American party, lis that the French
are just as apt to defeat us as we
are to defeat them. AS for Ameri-
cas- chances, much depends upon
Bill Johnston.
Offering no alibi for his defeat by
| Cochet at Wimbledon, the Philadel-
phian said he was unable to explain
the reverse that turned the sensa-
tional match from a rout for his op-
ponent to a Cochet triumph.
Discussing the three musketeers'
OF French tennis, Tilden said that
Cochet is best at the top: Lacoste
the best day by day and Borotra the
fashiest.
II am in better condition now
than l was last year" Tilden said
THAT is due to three months OF
hard tennis. 1t is impossible to get
in too much tennis"
After attending u dinner given to
the returning players by the United
| States Lawn Tennis association last
night, Tilden left for Providence
to pair up with Sandy Weiner in
| the Rhode Island doubles cham
pionship.
Helen Wills was praised by the
American players for her splendid
showing abroad. Tilden said he had
never seen a woman hit ball as
hard as the California girl did ir
the Wimbledon final with Senorita
De Alvarez.
Mrs. Molla Mallory the American
champion who was eliminated al
Wimbledon by Miss Betty Nuthall
was in the returning party. She will
get into practice at once in defense
of her championship and for the
Wightman cup matches with the
English women next month.
Johnston Is Ready
San Francisco, July 10 (Pi-Wil-
liam H. Uittle BilD Johnston, has
answered the call of William T
Tilden to assist him for the eight
time in defending the Davis cup.
Informed that Big Bill Tilden's
first act on his return from his
conquest of foreign courts was to
inquire about him. Little Bill said
today he was ready to defend the
foreign attacks that will be made
on the United States possession OF
the trophy Johnston has been
practicing almost daily for several
months and is in the best of con-
dition.
He said he would play in the
Davis cup matches and the ma
tional singles this year. Business
will keep him in San Francisco fol
more than a month yet. He will
arrive in the east the latter part
of August. ready to play with Til
den on the American Davis cur
| team.
Johnston will not play in the
mems national doubles for the frs,
time in many years, he said.

Yankees Wanted Ruffing

Yankees Wanted Ruffing
A matter. of principle, I am told,
was all that kept Charley Ruffing
of the Boston Red Sox from becoming
a member Of the New York Yankees
early this spring and Owner Bob
Quinn of Boston profiting to the
extent of $4,000.
Bob Quinn's word III baseball is
his bond. When he took over the
Boston club he assured the fans
of that city he would make every
effort to get together winner He
has made the effort but the winner
is still merely cherished hope.
In the old days, any time Harry
Frazee, Red SoX. owner, was short
on cash, he peddled one of fis stars
to the Yanks. This spring, when
Manager Miller Higgins was a bit
doubtful as to his pitching, I under
stand an offer Of $4,000 was made
for Ruffing.
NO doubt Bobby Quinn could have
used that amount, if the offer was
q bonafide one, but he turned it
down. He had promised Boston a
winner and Ruffing stood out as one
of his few best bets Selling Ruffing
to Quinn would have been double
crossing the Postofl fans.

Baseball fans the country over
are pulling for Bobby Quinn to
land a winner1at Boston. His
sincerity and integrity deserved
