HADRIAN KAYOS ALCANTARA TO
WIN RETURN BOUT WITH PACHO

1t was an entirely different Alex
Hadrian who kayoed Rod Alcantera
at the arena last night, from the
lad who lost to Bobby Pacho in the
same ring two weeks ago. Looked
upon more or less as a mere trial
horse, a scrapper who could take
plenty of punishments but couldn't
give very much in return. Alex cleo
trified the fans last night by walk
ing out from his corner at the op-
ening gong of the 10 round main
event and wading right in to Rod
who is no mean scrapper himself.
A barrage OF hard rights to the
jaw put Rod on the canvas three
times in the opening session. First
was for no count but the other two
found Alcantera getting to his feet
Just at the count of nine, the last
time with but two seconds to go be-
fore the bell.
The second round saw Pods fin
ish and as if to show the fans that
he packs a wallop in either mitt,
Hadrian used his left for the knock
out. 1t was mean Wallop, right or
the button and Alcantera dropped
in his tracks. satisfied to stay put.
This was a fitting climax to the
best all-around card to be shown
at the local arena this season. BY

his victory over Alcantera, Hadrian
gets another shot at Bobby Pacho
next Friday night and this victory
over Alcantera has boosted his pres
tige nightly with the fans who
were out last night.
Kid Jarada took the decision
from Al Austin in the six round
special event on the card and de-
served his victory Both fought
good fight but Austin spoiled his
chances for victory by his holding
tactics which brought frequent
warnings from the referee and a
constant raZzing from the fans
Jarada is a clean and fast little
fellow and fans hope to see more
of him from now on. He gave Aus
tin every chance in the world for
knockout, taking all the wallopS
Al could give him in the stomach
without even a shrug or a SILVER.
To the fans it looked as if he had
cast iron ribs and a steel stomach.
Several times Austin sunk his fists
into both stomach and ribs only to
| have the Kid shake his head and
bore right in, apparently, unharm-
ed by wallops that were plenty
hefty.
Blackie Olea, Ell Centre, and Joe
Martin, Los Angeles, fought draw
in one of the sweetest openers seen
here in many moons. Although hea-
vier than his opponent Olea could
do very little with him and had to
keep hopping about plenty to keep
from taking punishment. Martin
showed that he is a game scrappef
by keeping on the firing line all
the time. He held the lead through
cut until the last round when
Blackie drew up and by WhirlWind
finish got a draw. Martin got quite
a hand from the fans and the hope
was expressed that he will be back
again very soon. His educated LETT
kept Olea worried all the time and
he never let up for a moment
throughout the six rounds.
The scheduled Jour round open
er was cancelled when one of the
fighters failed to make his appear
ance. Charley Ike was the third man
in the ring.

CHICAGO. June "a. Barney
Ross has punched his way from
street fighting to the world S light
weight championship.
In a savage 10-round fight last
night in the Chicago stadium, Ross,
young product of Chicago's roaring
west side. wreSted the 135-pound
title from Tony Canzoneri, hith-
erto acclaimed as the pugilistic
world s best piece of fighting me-
cnanism.
In the last three minutes of
fighting there passed from Can
zoneri to Ross the historic crown
worn by Joe Cans. Battling Mel
son, Ad Wolgast, Willie Richie and
Bennie Leonard.
At the end of nine rounds they
were even-champion and challen-
ger. Only three minutes fighting
time was left.
With 1000 persons banked
around the battle-pit of the world S
largest indoors arena, here was the
situation as the bell rang for the
final round:
Ross, both eyes gashed, had
fought his way to even terms with
Canzoneri in a series of slashing
exchanges in the late rounds.
CanZoneri, weak and weary,
moved into action to protect the
crown he has held for almost three
years.
The gong changed for the 10th
round. Ross jabbed three times to
the face. Ross 5lashed a left to
the face and Tony fell into a
clinch. The champion attempted
to clutch Ross around the waist but
the challenger set him back on his
heels with two vicious left hooks.
They fell into clinch and the ref
cree broke them. Ross moved to
the attack, driving his left to the
champions head repeatedly with
out return.
Champion Backs Up
Canzoneri retreated before Ross ,
whitening fire. The champion fell
against the ropes and Ross smoth-
cred him with both fists, driving
them like a triphammer. CANON
cri clutched at the challenger s
tody, pulling him into a clinch to
hang on. The referee pried them
apart and Ross began his deadly
tattoo of left hooks once more on
Canzoneri'S face. Ross was fling
ing both fists at the bell, and Can
zoneri was clutching for relief

'SENATORS|N
FIRST PLACE

NEW YORK, June "a. - The
Washington Senators, one of the
heaviest hitting clubs in the Amer
lean leagues 33-year history, have
blasted their way to undiSuted COM
mand of the circuit, RELOCATING the
world champion New York Yam
KEGS to second place.
Amazing smuggling, which piled up
1l2 runs and 1879 hits against their
opponents 40 runs and los hits, en-
abled the Senators to win IL out of
their last IL games and boost their
club batting average to a brilliant
.304, just IL points less than the
American league record of .3l6 es-
tablished by Detroit for the 1921
season.
Meanwhile the Yanks, who were
six full games ahead of Joe Gro
nin's outfit June 6, suffered from
poor pitching on the road and drop
ped IL out of 18 games. New York
still ranks second in batting at .288
which is two points higher than last
season.
The Senators took sole possession
of the league lead yesterday, for
the first time this season, by max
ing it three in a row over Chicago,
7 to 8. This dropped the YankS from
a top tie into second place for the
third time this year. Washington
hammered Ted Lyons for 16 hits,
including a homer and three singles
by Heinie Manush, who hit safely
for his 26th consecutive game.
New York split twin bill with
st. Louis, the Yanks taking the
opener, 10 to 6, aided by Babe
Ruths 10th home run and a four
Dagger by Bill Dickey, but the
Browns won the night cap ) to 4.
Cleveland lost ground by sue
cumbing to Philadelphia, 8 to 4. DID
Williams led the AS attack, &C
counting for six runs with homer,
a double and a single. His mate,
Eric McNair, made four Dagger
in the fifth.
Boston gained on Detroit by
shading the Tigers, 3 to 2, slapping
"Schoolboy" Rowe with his first
mound defeat in six starts when he
allowed the Sox 10 hits.
In the National league Cincin-
natl snapped out of a five-game
losing streak and toppled the lead
ing New York Giants, 2 to l.

an eight-run burst in the eighth to

NEW 1ORk, June "a. lit
Only group of sports solicitors more
adept at achieving haywire than
the boxing experts are the base
ball experts. Whereas the boxing
experts pick but one lemon at a
time, the baseball experts, having a
wider range, often pick entire
/ lemon tree.
The boys are in magnificent form
this year and promise to equal the
feat of their 1881 brothers who
missed all Is teams. You have
only to cast your eyes on the stand
ingS in the National League for
proof of that. In the National
today New York is on top, follow
ed by St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Chi
cago, Brooklyn. Boston, Cincinnati
and Philadelphia. If three months
ago you had told a baseball ex-
pert June "a would find the clubs
in that order, he would have
smacked you over the head with
the 10 bundles of statistics he hsd
gathered to make an opposite
guess.
And he would have been entirely
in his rights, too. for none of the
"infallible facts used in picking
baseball winners-pitching fielding
and batting averages, St. Louis
temperature, beer capacity of play
ers and average age of umpiring
staff-pointed toward the Giants
being on top longer than April II.
Speaking of the Giants, we are
a bit puzzled at our colleague in
ability to fathom out why the
young men of Manhattan are lead
ing the league. We have read doz-
ems of stories wherein the readers
are asked to please write in and
tell what's holding the Giants up.
To us IS very clear. The Giants
have been making more runs than
the opposition, which, if we aren t
thinking of field hockey, is the
basic idea of the game. How the
Giants accomplish this is just as
simple. First Schumacher goes
out and pitches a shut-out. Then
Parmalee pitches a Shut-out. Then
Fitzsimmons goes out and pitches
shut-out. After Fitzsimmons,
Hubbell pitches a Shut-out. By
that time it S Schumacher S time
again. Absolutely elemental.
If my colleagues must have a
mystery, please let them worry
about what enabled Terry to con-
vert a second-rate pitching staff
into a bunch of Matthewsons,
WadellS, Groves and Johnsons.
That IS the real problem. This time
last year Schumacher, while he
could throw everything in the
book, WASH t accurate enough to
nit 24-foot beer sign at three
PAGES. Parmalee was the same,
only worse.
Strangely enough, this amazing
form of the Giants, which normal
ly could be expected to fan the in
tereSt of the fans into a blaze. is
costing them money. Nobody goes
out to see them play. On top of
the league, and going along like a
five-alarm fire, they re playing in
what amounts to strict privacy.

TEACHERS TENURE

The legislature seems 10 be determined to put
the schools into politics and remove all protection
from the teacher.
The tenure law, under which teachers who serve
five years can not be removed except for cause is
on its way to repeal.
The purpose of the law is plain. 1t seeks to pre-
vent the removal of teachers from their Jobs when
township trustees or school boards are changed. 1t
seeks to prevent school officials from forcing cam
paign contributions from the teachers and other
forms of political tyranny not entirely unknown
before the passage Of this
1t may be admitted that the law has not entirely
accomplished its protective purpose. This is because
the township trustees have refused to give contracts
to good teachers for more than four years. They
have been the anarchists in the situation.
The contention that the law puts poor teachers
on pay rolls for life is subterfuge There is always
the right to remove for cause.
There can be but one reason for repeal. The
politicians want the jobs. They want the right
to hire and fire, which means the right to control
and rule.
The schools will have enough difficulty in the
immediate future without being subjected to this
backward step
