TOPPER" DECLINED
BY BUCKY HARRIS
Accused of Calling Mackmen
"High Hat" He Dodges
Fans Reward.
BY ALAN 7. GOULD.

ASSOCIATED PGekS sports EGltOF.
n YEW YORK, August 3 LP-Bucky
N Harris probably is just as well
satisfied that his latest visit 10
4 the enthusiastic playground of
Connie Mack'S pennant-geared
Athletics is all over.
Bucky seldom makes mistakes, but
Philadelphia critics believe the Detroit
manager pulled one" when he gave an
interviewer the impression that he
thought the Athletics were becoming a
trifle high hat" over their present high
estate in the American League race.
Harris insists he intended to give no
such impression. AS he pointed out, he
has given the AS all due credit for
making a great race. Yet the populace
was quick to leap upon him in the &C
customed fashion while the Athletics
were quick to jump upon the Tigers.
Bucky left town last night after four
days Of ''razSing' from the stands and
the Tigers departed withs four straight
defeats plastered upon them.
An incident of the series involved an
attempt to present Harris a silk top
per" on the field, but the Tiger pilot,
Suspecting q ruse, refused to emerge
from his dugout when the gift-bearing
fans requested his presence on the field
for ceremony. The uproar was great,
nevertheless.
1t was recalled that during the heated
political and base ball days of 1928,
Philadelphia partisans presented a
brown derby to Babe Ruth, who some
what discounted the authors of the
joke by Immediately dopning the head
gear and even going so far as attempt
ing to 60 to bat with it. Few attempts
OF either fans or players to embarra5 IS
the Bambino have ever been successful.

clash next week in best two
out of three series to determine suprem-
acy. The first game will be played
Tuesday morning at 1890 o'clock on
the Terminal diamond at the Union
Station.
Potomac Yards won both series in the
morning loop with Pullman turning the
same trick in the evening circuit.
Both will enter the week day leagues
championship series which gets under
way August 10.
Incidentally, only two of the teams
not yet known. The champions of
Georgetown Church. and Industrial
Leagues will not be determined for
several days.
Naval Hospital, Departmental League
victor, and Union Printers, Government
League winner, are teams already sure
to compete in the series In addition to
Potomac Yards and Pullman.
! It was at first thought that Union
Printers would be unable to compete in
the series because of their intention to
defend their title in the international
typographical Union championship
tournament at Indianapolis. However,
| in order to permit the Typos to take
part in both competitions, it has been
arranged for them to play Naval Hos
pital August 19 and Pullman the fol-
lowing day and then complete their
schedule upon their return from Indian
apoliS a week later.
Two defeats will eliminate teams
competing in the series here. All the
games will be played on the diamond
at Union Station.

Retired Indicated Lightweight Champion
OF the World

OF the World
~HICAGo, August Sammy
Mandell retained his title as
lightweight champion last night
~ by sheer boxing skill.
Tony Canzoneri started out
in the first round with the right idea,
chasing the champion around the ring.
pounding him with let's and rights to
the head. Mandell tried to tie Tony
UP in close, but Canzoneri was too strong
and pounded his way out of a clinch.
AS the bell ended the first round Can
zoneri looked like the champion.
In the second round Tony lost his one
big chance when he staggered Mandell
with right to the jaw. The champion
was shaken by the blow. Tony noticed
this and started after Mandell. He
threw right and lefts, which caught
Mandell on the side of his head as he
was backing away.
In this round Mandell, the champion,
proved himself worthy of the crown.
His cunning and sidestepping saved him
from bearing down. Near the end Of
this round Tony started jumping around
with both hands dangling at his sides.
And while Canzoneri was doing this
Sammy Mandell had pulled himself to-
gether, started boxing and landed
number of great left-hand jabs to Can
zoneri's face in succession.
MandeII Hits Stride.
The third round found Mandell up
straight in his usual style, sliding
around and using his famous straight
left. which found its mark on Tony's
face. This was the turning point of
the contest. AS the fight progressed.
Mandell boxed better and at times held
Canzoneri with his long left hand
propped on Tony's head, and while
Msndell was doing this Csnzoneri sent
long left and right swing which
missed. It was not spectacular sf-
fair. Outside of the right-hand punches
in the second round landed by Tony.
which almost upset the champion, it
was a mild contest.
Aside from the dangerous situation
that faced the champion In those FIRST
two rounds, when it really looked quito
serious for him. there was no big mo-
ment. In other words, know from my
own experience that Mandell was all
right throughout the rest Of the fight.
even when it looked as if the challenger
was giving him quite rush.
OF course, the fight was without
knockdowns, and 1t was remarkably
free from blood Tony is not much Of
a bleeder. but his nose was we'll red
dened and there was light cut over
his right eye at the finish. That dam
aged right eye was pretty well moused
up by the champion.
