Another Thriller
At Wilson Field

Another last minute finish, such
as have been common on Wilson
Field lately, last night netted the
Golden State Creamery a 10 to 7
victory over tne Nevada California
Electric company nine.
The Creamery was behind to
as the seventh inning started, but a
five run rally remedied matters, and
four more scores in the next two
innings made it decisive
Homer Chambers, schoolboy hurl-
er, won his second ball game by
last nights victory. AS result of
his almost perfect control not one
Nev-Cal man walked.
Bus Kellogg, Creamery catcher,
got two triples and Dick Puckett,
Nev-Cal southpaw, got two homers
and double to lead the hitting
aces.
The Shirer Drug company and

When Joe link and Dick Ramies

the fans sit back with the eXpecta-
tion OF seeing a real battle, If rec
ords and regulations can be taken

Both the boy with the funny
name and San Diegos popular bat
tier have good ring records, link
having won the Atlantic fleet
championship in the navy after de-
feating some topnotch men in civil

just about all there is in the way OF
fancy welterweights and middle

Each of the boys can hit and hit
hard, they have experience and
there is no lack of skill on either

GROVE May SET
MORE RECORDS
DURING SEASON
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Cores s,Ondent

CHICAGO, Aug 20. U.P)-Robert
Moses Grove, who halls from Iona
coming, Maryland, and who has
been pitching for the Philadelphia
Athletics since 1925, today seemed
ON the threshold Of annexing more
ladrels in q single season than any
other major league pitcher in base
ball annals.
Grove won his 10th straight game
yesterday when he pitched the
Athletics to a 4-2 victory over the
Chicago White SoX at Comiskey
park. His seasons record is now
won 25 and lost 2 for an average
OF 1876
Among the records within Groves
reach are:
!. American league record for
most consecutive games won which
he tied yesterday. The record OF l6
was made by Joe Wood, Boston Red
SoX, and Walter Johnson, Washing
ton. in 1912.
2. Major league record for most
consecutive games won, which is 10,
made by Tim Keefe in 1888 and
equalled by Rube Marquard in 1912,
both pitching for the New York
Giants.
3. Highest percentage of games
won and lost made by Joe Wood in
1912 when he won "a games and lost
for an average OF .872.
4 Leading the American league IN
won and lost percentage three years
in succession, feat no pitcher in
either league ever accomplished.
5. Become the first major league
pitcher working regularly to finish
the season with a percentage above
900
Defeats Have Excuse
The Athletics have Al games lett
to play and if Grove pitches every
fifth game he will have a chance
to work in eight more games. If
he won them all he would finish the
season with "a straight victories and
IL total Of 33 won and lost.
Both Of Groves defeats have
strings attached to them. Wash
ington beat him the first week OF
the season on an error and the
White SoX trimmed him in an extra
inning game June after he was
rushed into the box as relief
pitcher.
Connie Mack bought Grove from
Baltimore for a reported price OF
Sl05 900 at the close of the 1924 In
ternational league season. In his
first year with the Athletics Grove
lost u games and won 10.
When he first broke in he tried to
rely solely on his dazzling speed, but
soon found out that he needed to
mix EN- up. Under Connie Mack's
expert tutelage he soon learned TO
get the maximum benefit from his
fast delivery.

REPUTATION OF
M'LARNIM GOES
In RING TONIGHT
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 20. U.P)-Jim-
my McLarnins right to ranking
among the immortals of the prize
ring will be tested tonight in a 10
round bout with Billy Petrolle at
Yankee stadium.
The baby faced Irish slugger
from Vancouver, B. c., is in a diff
ficult spot. Accepted generally as
the hardest puncher for his pounds
in the ring and as a fighter worthy
OF ranking with such super stars
as Dempsey, Leonard, Cans. Sulh-
van and Corbett, Jimmy must win
decisively TO retain his mantle of
greatness.
There is little doubt that McLar-
min can outpoint Petrolle if he
elects to rely on his boxing skill but
such a victory would do his repu-
tation more harm than good. He
has built up reputation as a cour-
ageous fighter and a deadly punch
er and a repetition of the cautious,
runaway victory he scored over Pc
trolle in their last fight would not
be sufficient to avenge the terrific
beating received from the Fargo
fighter last December.
In addition, Petrolle and his cam
ny manager, Jack Hurley, have op-
enly challenged McLarnins cour-
age, ability and fairness. Hurley
charges Jimmy resorted to foul
flicking and back handing tactics
to beat Petrolle in their second
fight and expressed doubt that Nc
Larnin was brave enough to step
in and fight with Petrolle"
McLarnin, proud of his reputa-
ton as a sportsmanlike fighter and
deadly puncher, is more than lit
tie incenSed at the Petrolle goat
getting" campaign and has promised
to answer all charges by his per-
formance in the ring.
Wise money bettors, however,
are less confident of Jimmy's
chances in event he elects to slug
it out and are offering "$l1 to $40
and pick your own fighter" Bet
ting is light with some McLarnin
money reported at 6 to S.
The bout is Madison Square Gar
dens first outdoor promotion of the
season and is expected to draw a
$4,000 gate. 1t will be broadcast
by station WMCA, starting at $50
Ip. m. (EDT).

and fancy slugging in this one. Pete
can't lay claim to much skill but
ne does pack wallop and his
southpaw style is certain to bother
Andy. The latter is not a hard
puncher but he can hit to hurt. II
Andy would get real serious about
the fighting business ana forget
everything else when he is in the
ring, he would do better. He is not
aggressive enough for boy who has
been through as many battles as he
has
Nino Perez, the classiest little
fellow to be seen here in many a
moon. will mix it up with Cashmere
Mus, Filipino wonder, in the spe-
eial event. Nino spoiled Louie Gar
cia and Baby Ruiz, knocking them
both out and doing a mastery job
of 1t. The San Bernardino boy is
clever, fast and he hits like a well
terweight. Mus is an unknown
quantity but being a Filipino he
should also be fast and clever,
Whether he can hit or not remains
to be seen.
Louis Reyes and Carl Hager will
renew an Old-time feud when they
open the show. They staged some
good battles here about a year ago
and either one is likely to kayo the
other.

DEMPSEY Wins
FIRST BOUT ON
EXHIBITION TOUR

RENO, New, Aug 20 U.P)-Con-
vinced that he still carries power
full punch in those arms of his, Jack
Dempsey was launched on the
comeback trial today.
In two rounds the former worlds
champion knocked out Jack Beas-
ley OF San Francisco. Tony Fuente,
Mexican giant, then refused to en-
ter the ring for a second exhibition
match
Many state officials and promi-
nent members of the divorce colony
witnessed Dempsey's first fight fol-
lowing his announced intention OF
reenterng the ring.
Ticket scalperS collected $40 for
ringside seats that had face value
of $3.50.
Saturday Dempsey plans to leave
here for Portland, Ore, where he
will give his second exhibition
match of a transforming tour
which will carry him to many parts
Of the country.
The tour will be interrupted to
permit Dempsey to make several
trips to Reno, during one or more
of which he will resume his marital
battle with Estelle Taylor, the
actress, whom he is suing for di-
vorce.
Dempsey showed speed last night
He weighed a fraction more than
1910 pounds and Beasley weighed
1876.
They used l6-ounce gloves, but
the former champion sent the San
Franciscan down for an eight
count early in the first round. Then
he appeared to be pulling his
punches until the second.
He evidently enjoyed the affair
greatly and several hard blows to
the head failed to bother him.

partner, don't be late, strut your
stuff, or you'll get the gate" or see
Shorty Townshend, every time he
turns the corner at the First Nation
al bank, cut the corner in real mill
tary style.

wonder? That is, if they didn't know
what was going to happen Friday
Well, there is going to be big
poverty party at the K. of P. hall
and all the antics are preliminary to
the main event-practice makes per-

gether, no matter where, it is "Circle

til they quit. Pete Breuninger has
