SPEAKER WORKS WAY UP TO FIRST
10 F4ITTERS IN AMERICAN LEAGUE.

CHICAGO, July Is (P)-Tris Speaker
the last of the batting kings of former
years to reach the heights this sea-
son, bobbed up among the first ter
hitters of the American league today
Ruth, Heilmann and Cobb all reached
the top ten ahead of the ex-Clevelano
manager, but Speakers heavy hitting
on the. Senators flourishing western
invasion has crowded Cobb out of the
select circle. tt
Cobb, however, is represented on the
pinnacle OF the league in his pupil, AL
Simmons, who has a firm hold on first
place, eight points ahead of Columbia
Lou Gehrig. Following these two
Youngsters is the pack OF keen eyed
veterans of many campaigns.
!; Speaker gained IL points this week,
in averages compiled today including
wednesdays games In his last five
games he combed out IL hits to assist
washington to victory in their first
two western series.
The home run hOnorS, switched back
and forth between Ruth and Gehrig,
rested with Gehrig Thursday, at 81,
one more than the Babe had achieved.

Ruth's record year of 1921, but the
combined Yankee total of circuit cloutS
is more than double the next teams
total, 40 for the Athletics. The YankS
have scored 81 homerS, within one OF
the combined total of the last five
teams of the league.
George Sisler took the base stealing
lead away from Tavener, the Tigers
sparkling young shortstop, again add
ing two to score IL.
Dutch Reuther still leads the regular
boxrnen of the league, with score of
10 victories to two defeats. Ted Lyons
and AL Thomas, the Sox roommates
who lead in total victories withr IA
and Is respectively, went down to de-
feat in all their attempts this week.
George Burns, the Indians first sack

a new two bagger record. He holds the
title himself now at SO.

Not for long could the Pittsburgh
trio, who have dominated the National
league batting list since early in the
race, be kept apart, even by such a
determined ,Sticker as frankie FriSch.
For a few days only, FriSch crowded
Clyde Barnhart out of third place but
the Pirate fly chaser bounded back
with vigor this week while FriSch
struck a slump.
The whole National league list of
leaders is 10 to 20 points below the
American leagues percentages. The
explanation may lay, in part, in the
pitching performances OF the elder
circuits leaders, Lee Meadows, Carmen
Hill, Jess Haines and Charley Root.
Meadows and Hill, the specialized pair
of the Pirates, are at, the top, all by
themselves.
Jess Haines has couple more de-
feats than these two, while Root has
more defeats and more victories both.
Roots mark of 16 victories is the top
figure for both leagues.
Frisch gathered up his usual two
stolen bases, and now has %, in figures
compiled today, including Wednesdays
games. At the same rate, he would
approach the marks of the old timers
before the days of the rabbit ball and
the welter of home runs.
Leading the National leagues home
run department is veteran of the
days when circuit drives we're real
sensation, Cy Williams. The Phillies
long home stay, with short fences, has
enabled him to run his string up to
TO- Hornsby and Hack Wilson, Cy's
principal rivals, have only is apiece.
Today's newcomers in the top ten
OF the league are Chick Hafey of st.
Louis and Pie Traynor, the Pirate
captain, both of whom have been how
ering on the border for some time. In
team batting Pittsburgh pushed its
mark four points upward to .315 in
this weeks games.
Leading National league hitters are:
P. Waner, Pittsburgh, .378; Harris,
Pittsburgh, 377; Barnhart Pittsburgh,

NEW YORK, July Is (R-The New
York Nationals closed. their home
stand here today with a l to VIC
tory over the Pittsburgh club, making
it two out of three in the series and
again knocking the Pirates out OF
first place in the league. The Chi
cago Cubs, although idle, assumed
the leadership once more.
The game was q tight pitching
duel between Larry Benton and Ray
Kremer and was decided by a home
run by Andy Reese, young Giant third
baseman. Kremer had the Giants
hitting into the air throughout the
game and the home run which beat
him also was a high fly. 1t grazed
the screen i'll front of felt field
box and fell into the field. Under
the ground rules it was home
run.
A double play started by Jackson
prevented he Pirates from scoring
in their half of the seventh.

SPARRINC WORK outs With JUDGE
FOR REFEREE THREATENS NEXT
TUNNEY- DEMPSEY CHAMP CONTEST

NEW YORK, July Is (R--Sparring
workouts with lawyers in court room
rings threatened today to take a
prominent part in the coming train
ing campaigns of Jack Dempsey and
Gene Tunney, principals in the Sep
tember renewal of last falls Battle
of the Sesqui."
While Tex Rickard met delega-
ton of citizens seeking again to hold
the heavyweight championship tilt
in Philadelphia and received an in
vitation from the mayors committee
of $50 business men to bring the
fight to Chicago, both Tunney and
Dempsey prepared to duck the
rights of process servers.
The legal blast aimed at the heavy
weight champion came from Tim
Mara, New York sportsman, who filed
suit in supreme court here today
against Tunney and his manager,
Billy Gibson Mara seeks to recover
10 per cent of the 100000 Tunney
received for winning Dempsey's title
last fall, as well as Is per cent OF
Genes earnings since then under an
c4ACBEQ CAAoOAON AA4VO WAoAA
the former marine and his mentor
shortly before the fight. The con-
tract was made in recognition OF
Mara's services in procuring the
bout" he declared.
Mara asserted that Tunney has
earned $4,000 from motion pictures,
exhibitions and other means of ex-
ploitation since last September I'm
der the alleged contract Mara de-
clared he was to receive 8 1-3 per
cent of Gibson's third share in Tun-
ney's earnings and Is 2-3 per cent
of the heavyweight titleholder'S two
third "cut." This amounted to $6250,
Mara said.
New Difficulties threatening Demp-
sey came from the statement OF Jack
Kearns, his former manager, that the
entire collection of injunctions and
law suits that beset the former heavy
weight champion last fall would be
renewed in Chicago or wherever the
fight is held, unless settlement is
made of Kearns' 100000 suits under
their old contract.
Kearns played golf "by accident"
yesterday with Leo P. Flynn, Demp-
sey's new manager, but nothing was
said then of a settlement, he said,
and the conversation chiefly concern
ed the matching of Dave Shade,
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-07-26

Flynn's middleweight star, and Mickey
Walker, now under KearrlS' direction.
However, KearnS admitted that he
was "at all times ready to meet the
situation on a fair and square basis
even though he was Gin no mood
right now to talk settlement. Ii no
settlement is reached, Kearns prom
ised to be ready" for Dempsey when
the former champion came to Chi
cago and to cause him "a lot more
trouble collecting his end OF a Tnn-
ney fight this year than he did last
fall" ~.
Richards formal invitation from
the Chicago committee, signed by
George F. Getz, chairman, asked that
the promoter visit Chicago immed-
lately. Getz offered to obtain a Ii
cense and promote the show with
Rickard as adviser" in accordance
with the Illinois boxing commission
ruling requiring a citizen OF the
state at the helm. Rickard took the
Philadelphia invitation under con-
sideration and announced he would
leave for Chicago this week.
CHICAGO, July Is [P)-The ar
rangements offered Tex Rickard for
the Dempsey-Tunney fight in Chica-
go by George Getz, millionaire Chi
cagoan, are with the full authority
of Mayor Thompson, the mayor said
today Getz, who is chairman OF the
mayors civic affairs committee, an
nounced Saturday that he would take
out a state license, required as pro-
moter of the match himself, if he
could persuade Rickard to bring the
match to Soldiers field stadium IN
Grant park.
A telegram was sent to Rickard
today by the mayor assuring the New
York promoter that Getz has full au-
thority to make arrangements and
speak for the mayor, and that Mayor
Thompson and the civic committee
are behind Getz' efforts to bring the
fight here.
The city council today adopted, aft
er some opposition, a resolution COM
mending Getz, the mayor and the
civic committee for their efforts to
obtain the championship bout for
Chicago.
One alderman objected to the high
prices for ringside seats which, in
boxing circles. have gone as high as
$40 apiece.

BUDA PEST, April 4. (P)-The po- lice here are searching for the writer of an anonymous letter describing a suicide club, supposedly of worldwide fame The letter was obviously writ ten by a woman of education who stated she had become a member of the club by accident. Meetings of the club are held twice week in vari- ous centres. Lectures and discourses extolling the virtues of suicide are presented in a very elaborate fashion that is having an alarming influence on the weaker minded, she said. There has been a noticeable increase in the number of suicides here re- gently the police declared. A fanatic hypnotic mind is thought to be at work and the police are seeking this leader.
