~ OWLERS will be permitted to
- compete in more than one
doubles event in Washington
IL Ladies' Duckpin Association
tournament despite protests
from several of the fair bowlers.
Louise Preble, president of the as
sociation, states that this practice has
been permitted in former tournaments,
and there is no reason why a change
should be made this year.
The opponents claim that A. 3. G.
rulings require that a bowler be per-
mitted to compete in but one doubles
event.
In the several cases the women
doubles entries found themselves
without a teammate. They have Sc
cured others to roll with them who
have already competed or who are
entered in later events.
Protests We're made by several of
the women who are entered in but one
doubles event.
Complaint was also heard to the
effect that no foul judge is officiating
at the tournament. Officials of the
league said that the foul ruling is
being observed and that with the eX

the bedsides of all cripples and Ill

and that none will be missing from the
squad departing for the initial inva-
sion of the West this year
AS a matter of fact, it was settled
yesterday that tickets for the trip to
the Mound City would be bought for
the entire squad. Then it was decided
that Walter Johnson, whose left leg
is gaining strength so rapidly that he
NAV be able to take a turn on the
hill within two weeks, would accom-
nanv the club instead of being left at
home for further conditioning. And
there was no doubt in the minds of

For few minutes yesterday. it
seemed that Henry Cullop would be
added to the Nationals casualty list
| for an indefinite period. In the first
| inning of the tilt, Nick took one of
| Dutch Ruether's curves right on top
| of the bean and did a flop. AS three
| balls already had been thrown by
| Dutch, Nick's free ticket to the initial
station was of the base -on-balls class
| instead Of hit-by-pitcher ball. but, take
| it from Nick, he was hit. After COM
| ing out of his daZe, Nick contrived to
walk to first, then had to be treated
by Trainer Martin. Manager Hug
! gins of the Yankees was willing to
grant as much time as the Washing
ton pilot desired to get Cullop on his
feet properly, but Bucky sent Nick
back to the runway and the injured
player later made the round of the
bases. Nick could have continued to
play thereafter, but relinquished his
right field job to Sammy West in view
of the fact that a right-hander had
succeeded Ruether.
Lou Gehrig's drive over the right
field barrier in the first frame yeSter-
day was his sixth homer of the sea-
son and it raised the total of Yankee
circuit clouts for this year to 10.
Babe Ruth also had slammed half
dozen homers, while Tony Lazzeri has
hit two and Bob Meusel one.
Tony Lazzeri, Yankee second sack.
er, who has yet to be charged with an
error this season, had tough time
yesterday in keeping his fielding
slate clean. Stewart in the first
frame, Judge in the second and West
in the seventh got hits on drives to-
ward the middle station guardian. All
were hard chances, but Tony gamely
attempted to handle them. Lazzeri
now has taken care of 81 chances dur
ing the championship season and has
not erred in a play since March 10
when he made a fielding slip in an
exhibition engagement.
Although there were only two run
ners on when he left the slab with
two out yesterday in the ninth, Hollis
Thurston was charged with filling the
bases with Yankees. Before he de-
parted, Hollis chucked two wide ones
to Gehrig and though Garland BraX-
ton completed the walk, it went
against the former hurler's record
according to the rules of the game.
Stuffy Stewart, who was in a fine
batting mood yesterday got two of
his three hits in one inning. He led
off the lurid first frame with triple
over Meusel's head and after seven
National runs had crossed, came up
again in the inning to drag single
past the pitcher to Lazzeri.

NEW YORK, July 27.-The New
York boxing commission late Tues
day made public the ringside reports
of it's judges and referee in the
Dempsey Sharkey fight.
Tom Flynn, one of the judges,
said that in the seventh round of
the bout he thought Sharkey had
received two lefts that were slightly
low but not enough so to hurt him
or cause disqualification of Demp-
sey.
Charles F. Mathison, the other
judge, said he believed Sharkey had
been struck three foul blows in the
seventh round. '
Referee O'Sullivan prepared no
written statement but told William
Muldoon, a member of the COM
mission, that when he started to
count over Sharkey, the fighter said,
don't count me out. I'm fouled."
O'Sullivan said he told Sharkey to
get up and continued to count.
The commission made public the
voting slips of the three officials for
the first six rounds.

Five years ago today, July 81,

realm of recognition as the most
logical candidate for Champion
Benny Leonards crown, by holding
the latter practically even in a furi-
ously fought twelve-round no-deci-
sion bout at Jersey City, N. j.
The remarkable battle waged by
the Philadelphia southpaw paved
the way for his return encounter
with the champion in the following
year, which he lost and in what was
termed the second battle of the
century" Leonard AYERS his two
winning battles with Tender were
the most hectic struggles of his en-
