Second Round Matches in National Net Tournament Played
Feather Title
Is Claimed BY
Philadelphian

By United Press
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13.-Ben-
ny Bass, local fighter, today claimed
the featherweight championship of
the world following victory in a
thrilling ten-rounder in the Munic-
pal stadium Monday night with Red
Chapman of Boston.
After Bass had been awarded the
decision, Mayor Kendrick presented
him with a diamond-studded belt
emblematic of the championship
that has been vacated since Louis
kid" Kaplan renowned the crown
when unable to make the weight.
Although acceptance of Bass as
the title-holder thus far is limited
officially to Pennsylvania, it may
become general when boxing COM
missions of various States have had
a chance to pass upon his claims.

were to battle today in the fifth and
last fracas before the Betzelites sail
out for Louisville to, meet the Col
onels Thursday. Tribe and Colonies
will loaf Wednesday in order to
provide a twin bill for Louisville

The Monday contest was a thriller
in which, Louis Koupal held the
locals to five hits and won, 2 to /.
He also figured prominently in the
Tribe attack when he socked a
triple in the third inning and scored
on Haney's single.
Matty "Greets" Specie
What proved the winning marker
for the>visitors was chalked up in
eighth after Specie relieved Pal
nero. Matthews greeted the former
Hoosier hurler with double, moved
to third on Haney's sacrifice and
scored on Layne's sacrifice.
Toledo was unable to break
through for a run until the eighth
when Mcguire tripled and crossed
the plate On Veach's infield out.
That three-base poke by Mcguire
and single by Palmero in the Sec
ond round were the only clean hits
made off Koupal. The Tribe victory
was heavy jolt to the Hens pen
nant hopes.
A great play by Connolly in the
first inning robbed the Hens of one
or more runs. With the basessfilled

puzzling grounder that Connolly
knocked down, juggled and then re-

FIVE CLUBS WON 100

1T is a rather interesting fact
that only five clubs in the
- history of the American
League, since its organization in
1900, have won 100 or more games
in a season. The Yanks when they
turn the trick. which seems certain,
will be number six.
The first club to hit the 100 mark
In the American League in games
won was Connie Mack's Philadelphia
team of 1910 with 1902 victories.
The same club repeated as pennant
winners the following year, taking
down 101 games.
In 1912 the Boston Red Sox up
set the dope by beating out the Attn
letics, highly favored to win for the
third successive year. Jake Stahl
managed Boston that year and set
the record at los victories. Bill
SCarrigar in 1915, with much the
same team, turned in 101 games to
land the championship for Boston.
Clarence Rowland, in sl917 with
the Chicago White Sox, captured
pennant with an even century of
wins and went on to win the
worlds championship from the New
York Giants.
{ Thus only three American
League cities, Boston, Philadelphia
and Chicago, can boast Of PEN
nant winners with 100 or more
victories to their credit. New York
is ON the way to join the select
k class.
The most number of games won
In season by a National League
club fell to Frank Chance and his
Chicago Cubs of 1906, when his fast
stepping team won 116 contests.
The New York Giants were the
last club in the National League
to capture 100 or more games. Nc
Graw's club won 101 in 1913 Not
stree that time has any team en-
tered the charmed circle.

CHANTILLY, Frence, MARCH 6.-B
A mistake that might have cost him
dear-but didn't-started Ralph Beaver
Strassburger of Norristown, Pa, on the
formation of a stable that has made
him one of the most successful race
horse owners of the French turf today.
In 1923 Strassburger, gentleman
farmer diplomat, ex-naval officer and
political leader, thought of building up
a stable in France. On the advice OF
Thomas Murphy who became his train
er, he attended the annual yearling
sales at Deauville.
He noted that a colt named Asteroide
by Sun Star, was dragging in the mar
ket at 1000 francs.
That's too cheap for any colt by
Sun Star" he said, and cried: Seventy
five hundred"
sold to Mr.. Strassburger," said the
auctioneer A friend then told Strass-
burger: But he isn't by Sun Star,
Jack Joers celebrated Derby winner;
he's by Sun Star, French stallion that
never won a race"
But Sun Star was by Rabelais, which
gave him illustrious origin even if he
lacked renown of his own. When the

colt was a four-year-old he hadn't paid
for a bundle of straw. His owners were
in despair and had decided to dispose
of him. Then, one day, he took the bit
in his teeth and won a long distance
race by 20 lengths. He went on win
ming. He captured the rich Grand Prix
at Deauville among other events and
was responsible for the greater part Of
the 75OO 900 francs the stable won last
year.
Today, as a five-year-old, the colt
that cost less than $500 as yearling,
is among the favorites for the most
coveted of racing trophies, the Ascot
gold cup, worth more than $4,000
pounds sterling. Strassburger has other
good ones in his string, in the judg-
ment of Murphy, among them being

counties may result in the question
CT the committees authority being
thrown into the courts.
The contest brought by Wilson
was filed with the regular elections
committee by the senate just before
adjournment yesterday and in Its
inquiry that committee unquestion.
ably will seek to obtain the ballots
since Wilson claims he failed to be
credited with many cast for him.
Senator Reed, republican, Penn
sylvania, who led the long filibuster
against continuing the campaign
funds committee said today this
naturally would be known by the
officers having custory of the county
ballot boxes and they might well
decline to deliver them to the Reed
committee.
The Pennsylvania senator reiterat-
ed his doubt of the authority, of the
Reed committee to open the more
than 5000 ballot boxes already
brought here from Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh, calling attention that the
senate merely gave the committee
authority to preserve" the ballots.
