Not Spectacular
Cautious Lee Savod Reverses Decision He Lost
to Tony Music Before Unenthusiastc Fans
BY CLAYTON HEPLER

at Washington, last nights verdict
was unanimous. Referee Sam
Hennessey gave every round to
the Des Moines, Ia. blonde. Dad
Butler called the first two even,
giving Savold the nod over the
balance of the route. And Joe
Lenehan called the first and fourth
even, giving Savold the other
heats.
Savold, from the first round
kept sticking his left to KEEP
Music at his distance and didn't
succeed in opening up his bobbine
and weaving opponent until the
second round. Music didn't seem
any too anxious to mix it himself
so the openings were conspicuou:
by their infrequency.
Alfred (Big Boy Brown gained
la decision over Pat Comiskey ir
the other hereunder which con
cluded the show. The Paterson
N. j., Irishman probably suffered
Ieither a dislocation or fracture o.
/ his left shoulder during the fight

X-rays were to be taken today.
The supporting card provided
more action than the feature at.
fractions, two of the three bouts
scheduled for six rounds ending
in knockouts. Lew Woods kayoeo
Johnny OuSky of Toledo. in Il
seconds of the fifth round, and
Chuck Hirst also registered a fifth
round knockout over Johnny Jones
of Pittsburgh.
Hank Postaway. promising Wy
andotte light heavyweight, dropped
an unfortunate decision to Ed Sar-
kesian, whose forte is durability
rather than boxing ability.

"Son," said Dad Butler, "a
fighter like Toney Music Is a
terrible, dangerous fighter.
His crouching style doesn't
give much Of target except the
top of his head, and he's liable
to tag you II you relax and let
him get In close"
Lee Savold didn't hear Dads
observation, but he kept busy for
10 rounds last night at Olympia
doing just that TO reverse the de-
cision he lost to Music in Wash
ington, d. c., a month ago.
While il was the smart thing to
do, it wasn't spectacular. And the
disappointing crowd of 1000 who
paid a gross gate of more than
$1,000 voiced enthusiasm only ir
the final round when Savold
floored his opponent for a nine
count with a right hook.
In contrast to the split decision

zens of Flatbush are concerned
today, he can hop cab and rush
right over to complete burial ar
rangements of the Buns hopes
of taking home their second
straight league championship.
The Borough of Brooklyn Is q
borough of broken hearts today
for, just "a hours ago, two final
scores were posted that probably
told about the final story of the
1912 pennant race. One read:
Pittsburgh 3. Brooklyn 2; the
other, some miles away in Boston,
read: st. Louis 6, Boston 4.
They were simply line-scores
but between them even the most
rapid Dodger rooter could discern
the handwriting that wrote mis-
beloved Buns right out OF this
years race.
The fighting Cardinals are three
full games on top with only eight
left to play!
That means, II st. Louis wins
only four of their remaining con-
tests, the Dodgers will have to
win nine of their final 10 to cop
the flag. Considering the caliber
of their opposition from here In,
one game aaginst the Giants, two
with the Boston Braves and seven
with the. last-place Phillies, this
would not be considered an I'm
possible task for fighting Brook
Ign club.
But the players that left the
field after dropping that 3 to 2
verdict to the Pirates yesterday,
walked with the tread Of the con-
demned. They didn't speak, they
looked at the ground. not at each
other, and 1t is a 1000 to I that
they can never recapture the
spark and the fury that. just five
weeks ago. had them almost 10
games in front of the self-same
st. Louis club which might now
run away with the pennant!

Doris, Connie
Beat Iowa Girls
BY MARGARET RUSSELL

Doris .Knectges and Connie
Waters are two very happy young
ladies today.
They were the girls largely re-
sponsible for the victory of Local
400 Co-eds, the Detroit team, over
Greenwood Electric OF Des Moines,
Ia, in their first encounter for the
world softball championship last
night.
Doris started hurting for the
Detroiters and was relieved by
Connie in the fourth after the
home town team had belted out
two runs in the first inning and
seven in the third.
The Iowa girls didn't get a hit
off either pitcher. The only player
to reach first base was on a walk
In the seventh by Connie.
Detroit has two teams still in
the championship. Briggs in the
mems division won their first game
from Homewood Diaries of Bir-
mingham. Ala. 20 behind the
two-hit pitching of big Eddie FL
gelski.
In the second Briggs bowed 10

"The largest shotgun shoot

It's Largest Shotgun Shoot in the World

Saturday. The first four gun
ners who break perfect scores
two at trap and two at skeet,
win $40 each In defense stamps.
The same prizes are offered
Sunday morning.
Five hundred other prizes and
two SIS shotguns also will be
awarded, the same as last year,
except winners will receive 50
defense stamps instead Of mer-
chandise.
The charge for entering the
tournament Is S1.40, which COW

35 cents admission to the club,
which is being turned over to

.Boos Are Few,
Trout Is Happy
Despite Loss
Dizzy Beaten. IA.
by Yanks for 18Th
Defeat Of Season
BY LEO MACDoNELL

Paul Dizzy Trout today had
lost his eighteenth game Of the
season, but to the Tiger pitcher
the world was still a pretty good
place in which TO live, despite the
warning and such.
All OF which leads up to the
fact that the applause for Trout
was greater than the boos when
his name was announced In the
lineup that faced the Yankees al
Briggs Stadium yesterday.
II was Trout's first appearance
on the mound since serving FIVE
day suspension without pay for
thumbing his nose at hecklers.
In the press box, checkers re-
ported the count as II applauders
against but three booers, give or
take a booer. After the game,
Trout reported hearing only two
boos, but Trout's neutrality Is
under suspicion.
ANTI-TRoUTs FAIL
Anyway. the anti-Trouts are re-
ported TO have been greatly dis
appointed in their showing. They
can now sympathize with Gerald
l.. X. Smith.
The crowd was 1892 paid,
which seems to show that lot OF
the fans weren't much interested
in whether or not anybody booed
or clapped for Trout.
Incidentally. the Yankees de-
feated the Tigers. z to 4, despite
a pennant victory party Joe Nc
Carthy and his boys threw for
the night previous.
II was the final game OF the
season between the two teams
and the Yankees boosted their VIC
tories TO Is against seven defeats
in competition against the Tigers
this season. IL was the first year
that Mccarthy edged out Del
Baker since Baker managed the
Tigers. The teams tied last sea-
son. IL wins each.
HURLS FIVE INNINGS
Trout pitched five innings be-
fore being lifted for a pinch-hitter.
He yielded seven hits and five
runs. One of the hits was Joe
DiMaggio's twentieth home run OF
the season. a drive into the lower
deck of the right field stands with
two mates aboard in the fifth.
Virgil Trucks hurled the rest
OF the way.
Alley Donald went the route for
the Yankees, giving up 10 hits and
four TALES. With two singles.
Rudy York batted home a pair OF
runs and Dixie Parsons exploded
his second homer Of the year.
With their western swing ended,
the Yankees returned east. where
they will wind up the season play
ing the Red Sox. Idle today, the
Tigers meet the Indians here
Saturday and Sunday. The White
Sox will help the Tigers drop the
curtain at the local ball yard
Monday and Tuesday. following
which they journey to Cleveland
for a pair of games which will
