The Big Six" was the greatest

Tanning back over the years in the

brought forth a new reason FOR
MathewSon's greatness.
Had SOuthpaw's Curve.
UDID you ever realize" he asked,
- that Mathewson had all the
stuff of both right and left
handed pitchers?"
The idea seemed to be brand new.
That fadeaway was almost the exact
duplicate of a southpaw's curve. In
other words. it broke in on right
handed batter, instead Of away from,
as a right hand pitchers curve normal
ly does.
"Christy threw the fadaway between
his third and fourth fingers, twisting
his wrist to the left as he let the ball
roll of the fourth finger.
The result was a curve he kept low,

second victory over the Cuban flash.
The justice Of that first decision two

PHILADELPHIA, July 19.-Johnny
L Jadick, junior welterweight cham
pion, held today his second victory
in six months over Tony Canzoneri,
Brooklyn battler from whom he won
the title last January.
Jadick retained his title-by a mar
row margin-when he won a 10-round
decision over Canzoneri at the Phillies
Ball Park last night. A chorus of
boos and shower of cushions greeted
the decision. CanZoneri'S lightweight
championship was not at stake.
While Canzoneri was the aggressor
during most of the fight, Jadick fought
a careful battle and his long left jabs
halted Tony's rushes with disconcerting
abruptness. He had the Brooklyn boy
blinking from that stabbing left most
of the time.
The referee and one Of the judges
gave Jadick the victory, but the second
Judge voted for Canzoneri.

LEAGUE IS SLATED

Departmental Adopts Rule
That Eliminates Present
Holder of Office.

THE Departmental League may
have a new president by tomor-
row night The loops political
kettle, which has been bubbling
all season, promises to boil over when
the managers Of the nine teams meet
at the Government Printing Office to
vote on a revised constitution.
The most important happening is to
center around the present prexy, vac
Guazza, who failed to attend last nights
meeting and drew the ire OF a COM
mittee appointed to do the revising.
Last nights meeting primarily was
called to form schedule for the second
half series, but when it had ended two
important changes in the regulations
had been adopted. The first provides
that the president or vice president
shall in no way be connected with the
sale of sporting goods or any depart
ment, bureau or organization repre-
sented in the league.
Another important rule provides that
any officer may be removed by two
thirds vote Of the board OF directors.
Several minor changes also were adopt
ed by the committee.
THE best bet in the Capital City
i League for a part in the play-off
series now appears to be Columbia
Heights, which has won eight games
in row. Columbia Heights now needs
only one victory in the remaining three
games to tie for the section title
and two to clinch the flag.
Next Sunday ST. Joseph's will be met
and in successive Sabbaths, Rock Creek
Servicenter and Federal Storage.
The Colmar Manor Juniors are doing
their share to win bit Of base ball
notoriety for their town. Organized
