founder of the Quaker faith, used

night when the Tigers clash in the
first OF four games with the Yaki-

chalked up six victories in q row
and arc nipping at the heels OF
the Wenatchee Chiefs.
The Pippins showed they are
not to be ruled out OF the Western
international league race when
they beat the league-leading We
naichee outfit four out Of five In
series just completed In Yakima.
After Fridays contest. the two
clubs win play again Saturday
night and then Sunday afternoon
will pair off for a twin bill at
Athletic park.
The clash between the Tigers
and the PippIns Friday night is not
the only attraction al the Dan
yard.

Mountain kicked the platter. Cln-

but died on the bags with Harri-

The clubs exchanged threats
until the sixth when the Tigers
again delivered. Abbott hit ter

Then Mountain blasted triple to,

Powerhouse Gang over the plate
with the second and last run OF
the game.
The game was marked by bril-
liant fielding on both sides, plays
that sent the fine-sized crowd onto
their toes.

their way as their potential ability
long has indicated.
When a club makes 10 doubles
in seven games, well. folks, that's
defensive ability along with the
power motive. And that's what
the Tigers have done. The COM
bination of Hartman and Colbern
at the keystone region, and the
flashy, outstanding Garretson at
first is something to give oppos-
ing squads headaches.

itself more firmly in second place,
in as much as Spokane was the
former occupant of the runner-up
position prior to the Tiger in
vasion of this city. Also, the
Wenatchee Chiefs lost again last
night, which means the Bengals
are only one and half games out
Of first place.
BANG NINE HITS
The Bengals hit nine times last
night against Windsor, and when
hits meant runs. That generally
is true of the game We call base
ball. On the other hand when
the Indians threatened, as they did
on several occasions, with men on
bases and one or nobody down,
the giant southpaw simply shot
that fast one down the alley so
fast that the fans in the grand
stands chorused: Don't throw
that ball so fast. We want to
see it."
Actually the game was won in
the second frame when Reich. who
will not be in B class ball next
year, singled down the third base
line, the ball too hot for Martinez
to handle. Then Mountain got his
first hit. Reliable and able

BY HENRY M'LEMORE

NEW YORk-Jimmy Johnston,
the man who talks so much that
occasionally he pickets himself as
being unfair to his own ears, broke
the American record for volubility
yesterday W hen arrangements
were completed for a Joe Louis
Bob Pastor championship fight.
At 11:27 a. m, when, as Pastors
manager, he was told the bout was
definite for September, Johnston
started talking in the precise
language of the Liverpool docks,
where he received his formal edu-
cation, and did not stop until he
had worn out seven sets of
listeners.
The topic of his filibuster was
Bob Pastor.
Johnston wants Pastors coming
fight with Lewis to be held in
Detroit, as he tersely explained in
10000 words.
II want IL In Detroit" he
said without pause for sta
tion Identification, "because
can get a fair deal there, and
1 can't in New York under the
present boxing commission"
In another curt outburst Of 5000
words Johnston said he planned to
ask the Michigan boxing commits
sion, provided the fight was held
in that state, to make it finish
fight.
There is no limit to how long
fight can go in that state"
Johnston said, land that's the way
it should be. Ten and Is round
fights are for sissies. My Pastor
is man and can fight all day
and night if necessary. A fight of
20 or rs rounds would suit him
fine
I'm Michigan wouldn't
have to take Arthur Donovan"
(for referee) Johnston said.
land heaven knows l don't
want Donovan In the ring at
fight I'm interested In. He
referred the first Pastor-Louis
fight and what job he did.
You won't believe II. but he
said that once during the fight
he thought of throwing Pastor I
out Of the ring for running
and lodging Louis. That
would have been n fine thing,
wouldn't II to disqualify a
fighter because he didn't nail
himself down and let his OPP
Ponent crack him on the jaw"
While Johnston wants the fight
scheduled for 20 or more rounds,
he thinks there is fine chance
that Pastor will knock out Louis
n the first round.
"Galento would have flattened
MIN in the first If he had been
