Breaks frowned on Jonnard and
three of the four markers registered
against him were unearned. In the
fourth with one out Sigafoos
doubled and reached third when
Tavener fuInbled Bedore's grounder
near second. Jonnard tossed out
Riddle, Sigafoos holding third, and
Horne walked. Goldman walloped
a hit by Shires, scoring Sigafoos
and Bedore, the Brewer first sack
er cutting the drive just enough to
hold it to one cushion.
Double Error on Gullic
In the fifth after one out Koe-
necke beat out a roller and Gullic
dropped Fitzgeralds fly and then
made a wild throw-in, Koenecke
going to third and Fitzgerald to
second. It was a double error. Siga-
foos was given an Intentional pass,
filling the bases, and Koenecke
scored as Bedore forced SigafooS.
A walk to Fitzgerald, first up in
the seventh, developed into an
earned run. He was sacrificed
along by Sigafoos and scored on
Bedore's single.
After holding the enemy to two
hits in seven innings, Horne weak
ened in the eighth. Guile, first up,
hit for one base and Crouch drew
base on balls. Christensen batted
for Jonnard and was called out on
strikes. Tavener drew walk, fill
ing the bases Manager O'Rourke
produced in the pinch with a line
drive over Goldman, scoring Gulllc
and Crouch.
Smith in Form
Horne was derricked and Smith
took up the toll. George was right
and got Connolly on fly to Koe-
necke and Kubek forced Tavener at
third. The Brewers were retired in
order in the ninth.
Against Taylor the Indians col
lected three hits, but failed to score
Goldman skipped a hopper through
Turgeon at third and Mccain hit
into a double play. High smashed
a single through Turgeon and
reached third on Koenecke's single
Connolly tossed out Fitzgerald to
end the inning.
Elmer Voter, third sacker, and
Arch Campbell, pitcher, obtained
from Columbus in a trade for Bill
NaFlesky and Mike Cvengros, failed
to arrive in time to get into uni
form. They reported after the game
started. Voter was slated to per-
form for the Indians in today's twin
bill.

II ENTUCKY, the home OF the
N Derby, fast thoroughbreds
and beautiful women, has made
another contribution to the COM
monwealth. It is big league
pitching, in which young Paul
Derringer of the st. Louis Car
dinals promises to bring recogni-
ton to the Blue Grass state.
Recent averages show Derringer
has pitched 127 innings for the
Cards, winning thirteen games
and losing four. That kind of
pitching usually means twenty or
more victories in season, and
they say that if the Red Birds
didn't have so many pitchers,
young Paul could make it twenty

Benny Leonard to Try Ring
Comeback After Seven Years

Leonard's return to the ring is
not actuated by love for the game
from which he retired. Rather,
Benny is victim of financial de-
preston. The stock market and a
career as owner of a professional
hockey team gave Leonard a harder
blow than any he received during
a career of 200 ring bouts and he
now is reported to have little of the
100000 fortune with which he re-
tired.
Leonard, who is IS years old and
weighs 149 pounds, began boxing in
1912. He won the lightweight title
from Freddie Welsh on a knockout
in 1917 and defended it successfully
for seven years.

SAYS SUPERVISION DENIED
Veach Explains Commission Stand
on Fort and Cox Contract.

James Veach, secretary OF the
state boxing commission, said to-
day the commission "iust couldn't
work" with Fl Harrison authorities
1.-THE commission and the fort could
not agree on certain issues" Veach
said. 1T became necessary that
either the commission supervise the
fights or separate itself from bouts
held there"
Veach said it would be necessary
for the commission to take some
stand on licensing of fighters who
appear on fort programs. The COM
mission has power to disoualifv
fighters. he said.
Regarding the contract between
Tracy Cox and the fort, Veach said
it was not made on contract forms
required by the commission. and
hence was not valid in the eyes Of
the commission.
