ROBERT FIGHTS
 R|Sk0 TONIGHT
Hunt for Successor to Gene Iun-
 ney Starts at Ebbets Field

New York. Aug. 15 tP>-The great nnm Tor the man who is to fill Gene iunneN's shoes as heavyweight champion Of the Wor]d-gets under way tonight. In the first of the elimination bouts that are expected to produce new champion. Robert 0 Robert Of Italy meets Johnny Risko. of Cleveland. at Ebbets field. The battle is scheduled to go ten rounds.
 Although Tex Rickard is supposed to stage the elimination series for the title. his metropolitan rival, Eumbert J. Fugazy. has stolen a march on the master of Madison Square Garden by taking the first battle away from him.
 Risko apparently has every adyan- tage over Roberti except in size. He has shown himself 10 be among the -best of the present crop Of heavy weights, though perhaps not the bcst, and has vastly greater amount of experience than the ltal- ian.
 Koberti. in his previous battles ap- pearcd slow and awkward and had only a tremendous Wallop in hls right hand to carry him along. How ever. rumOrs have been floating about that Roberti has been receiv- ing some intensive coaching in the liner arts oI ring gtneralship from Harry Wills and that he will be a greatly proved boxer when he climbs into the ring tonight.
 Neither of the fighters is noted for his skill in boxing and the dope seems to be that their meeting will produce either 9 slam bang battle CT a complete washout. Whether it will bring forth a potential cham pion remains to be seen.

League Stantlin:

Despite the outcome of the protes of the Landers, Frary X Clark base ball team over the game with Stan ley Works last week. the Stanle, Works team will be the champion! of the Industrial League this year So much was made certain last nigh, at Walnut Hill park when the Butt, makers leveled the Russwins by q 6 to score. The Stanley Work, team cannot be beaten or tied for the pennant at the present time. It has only one more game on the sched. ule and that is with the Fafnir Bear. ing Co. team.
 Fatlrs last night defeated the New Britain Machine team 14 to $ This puts Fafnirs in fourth place and sends the Newmatcs into tic for last place with the Stanley Rule & Level team.

 The protest raised by Landers over the action of Umpire Mike Lynch i1 forfeiting q game between the Uni versals and Stanley Works to Stanley Works on charges that Landers players were stalling. will be taken up at a meeting of the league man. agers at the Y. NJ. C. A. tonight.
 Stanley Works Russwins
 Scott allowed the RussWins only three widely scattered hits and only one of the losers reached third base During the game he famed nine batters sending three of them back in succession in the sixth inning
 While Scott was breezng along, his mates were supporting him we'll in the field and at bat. Snyder and Gaida led the attack of the winners each securing three hits. two of Snyder's being good for doubles.
 There was no scoring until the third inning when the Workers counted three times, although in the first frame the first two Stanley Works baters hit safely. Doubles by Snyder and Green in the third frame coupled with singles by Gaida and Schroeder and d sacrifice fly by Parsons accounted for these counters. /
 In the fifth frame this same group was responsible for two more runs. Snyder doubled, Gaida and Green singled, Synder scoring. Schroeder grounded to S Budnick who threw to l.. Budnick forcing Gaida but l.. Budnick threw wildly to second trying to get Green. allow ing the latter to reach third while Schroeder held first. Parsons hit an- other sacrifice fly and Green scored. The final run of the gama came in the eighth inning when Merline hit q home run to left.
 Al Blanchard was on the mound for the winners and suffered from poor support. At least six of the win ners' hits should have been outs but fielding let them land safely. Merline's home run should have been caught by Cosgrove who the hit.
 One of the features of the game was the fact that neither pitcher al- lowed d base on balls and there were no stolen bases The only double play of the game was made by the Kusswins when Gaida left second base on what appeared to be T sacrifice fly before the ball was caught.
 Dick Schroeder suffered a split finger when he was struck by foul tip in the first inning but after hav- ing the wound taped returned to the game.

 Willie kamm is ano;h her player of the same kind. one Of those who do not flash one day and sputter the next, but one who is "old reiiable" day after day, one who is there when he is wanted.
 Ed Morris, who did some great pitching for the Boston Red sox, probably will be mentioned in the voting. He will suffer, though. be- cause he was not on a winning team. If he traded places with Pipgras the situation might be re- versed.

 Fafnir had little trouble in defeat. ing the New Britain Machine team by l4 to score in the contest on l Diamond No. ,. The game was started late and had to be called in the first of the eighth inning on ac- count of darkness. Poor support coupled with timely hits by the Faf- nlr> batters took away the effective. ness of Erny Anderson's pitching and he retired in the seventh.
 Zembko. pitching for the Bearing Makers, worked nicely but weaken. ed in the eighth and Jim Havlick. the veteran, took his place. Jim was greeted by triple by Haines but hs immediately closed down and shut the side out.
 It looked like d tough battle when the NeWmatics got two in the first and the Dragons failed to score. Fafnirs got one back in the second but again could not score in the third. The fourth, however, proved to be the inning that blasted tho ball game. Three errors and four hits gave the winners seven runs which put the game practically on ice. Another in the fifth, three in the sixth and two in the seventh made the spectacle a walkaway.
 The losers failed to score until the sixth inning when a lone run was pulled in. Zembko began to show signs of weakness and two more came in the seventh, In the eighth with Swanson and Matts on. Havlick went into the box and Ha'nes hit a triple to right field He scored a moment later.
 At the conclusion Of the first half Of the eight, Umpire Mike Lynch called the game on account of dark ness
