Large galleries of local season. Had Cleveland been able to I stop the Tigers, the Burkevikl would today be In fourth place. As it is they are half a game behind the Jun- galeere. The score of yesterday's bat- tie was 4 1. Steady pitching from Carl "Weil- man and some timely hitting brought the victory for the locals.

While Weilman did not twirl as sensational a game as did Sothoron in the open- ing battle of the series, the southpaw had a way of tightening up In the pinches. When the Sox threatened I Weilman either forced them to send up easy pops or bound weakly to in-flelders. The left-hander was hit safely nine times, but he kept them pretty CHICAGO, June 28. Leon Amei felt himself rather brutally treated at the close of yesterday's pastime, this being the third of the present aeries between the Cubs and the Cardinals. Ames, sent Into the battle In the ninth inning, heaved up just one ball, which Leslie Mann picked for a double, and won the battle.

Although Ames was on the job when the fatal blow was delivered, he Is not officially tabbed with the defeat, because Bolden, a college star, who looks quite a pitcher, issued a pass and put the winning run on the paths. It was a peculiar situation and Rickey did some pitcher juggling which did not work as well as intended. Bolden had gone along nicely, after a bad start which left him two runs to the bad; all the while Phil Douglas was threatening a no-hit game. Then, for six innings, Bolden tightened up and was setting the Cubs down handily. "Shuffling" Phil blew in the seventh.

Bolden cracked him for the first 'hit of the game in the sixth. But in the seventh four in a row, headed with a double by Hornsby, sent two runs across tor a tie. Douglas got the derrick in the eighth, after Shotton and stock had singled. A. Lincoln Bailey came in and got out of the hole successfully and runless.

Bolden passed Flack to start the ninth. That was all, and Sherdel was hustled to the box and stuck there While Pick executed a neat sacrifice He pitched one strike to Mann, when he was jerked and Ames was substituted, as a ft-hander was thought an undesirable asset at that period. Leon tossed up a nice breaking curve and Mann smote it for the double, and the game was over. Mann broke up the first game on Thursday in a similar manner. Both teams shook up their batting orders to start the game and there was much confusion, as even the announcer didn't have it straight.

lit: thusiasts are following the play boys can't stand his pace. So he lets up and makes it as easy for them as he can. He can't hit hard because he'd knock his training staff out in four rounds all of It. So he doesn't show a thing in the world. i Tommy Ryan, famous middle- i weight champion of years ago, visit- ed the camps today and had his first glimpse of the two men in action.

'He baa no defense at all," he aald. 'but he moves fast and hits a art. I think Willard can hit him. After looking them both-over, I'll do my picking at the end of the first round. That will pretty nearly tell who is going to win." Curiously enough, that seems to be the mental attitude toward the fight of nearly every sporting man who has come to Toledo.

They come from all over the world, and when they arrive they have a sure winner. But when they have been to the camps a couple of times, and have studied both men, they're up in the air.

The defeat of Jones. 1917 champion, was probably the most thorough he has experienced in championship play. He was a trifle off his game, going out In 40 for the first nine of the aft-ernon round while Whitney was out in Co, playing two holes under par. The turning point of the round occurred at the fifth hole, where Whitney made a sensational 20-foot putt for a "birdie" 2. and again at the sixth hole he made a phenomenal recovery out of a ditch on his third shot and holed out in four.

Jones was on the geen in two, but lost the hole on three putts. From the ninth hole on. It was conceded by the gallery of several hundred persons that Whitney had reached the finals. The Jacoby-Bouden match was hard fought throughout. Bouden made a gallant attempt to overcome Jacoby's lead of four up after the turn.

Bouden won the tenth but lost the eleventh, halved the twelfth, won the thirteenth, halving the fourteenth, and despite the fact that he drove two balls out of bounds, be halved the fifteenth, making the match dormi'e o.

June 28. Victory for Jess Willard with a knockout within five rounds In his heavyweight championship contest with Jack Dempsey here. July 4, was the prediction today of Walter Monahan, chief sparring partner for the champion. Monahan based his prediction on his close knowledge of Willard's physical condition gained through several years of work with him. It was Monahan who conditioned Willard 'or his .41 Well, in this picture, the Big Fellow takes the part of a cowboy or something named Joe Bates and when we got in he was riding on a train somewhere In Texas and tlvj train stopped right in front of a corral or whatever you call It and Joe Bates lacked out the window and seen a man beating a horse and he couldn't stand that, so he jumped off the train and ran over and beat up the man that was beating the horse.

Well, if the man could bsat a horse and Joe Bates could bjat him, what chance has Dempsey got? Well, in the next scene, Joe Bates had accepted a position as horse buyer In a livery stable and the "prop" of the livery stable was the same bird Joe had beat up, only neither of 'them knew It till they seen each other. This bad guy was trying to get hold of a lot of horses and take them over to Juarez and deliver them to the Mexican insurrectos. So after that there's a girl In it that Joe Bates kept from getting beat out of her horses and jack, and also there's some' big scenes In Juarez where Joe Bates knocks the whole army of Insurrectos dead and then he brings the horses back across the Rio Grande PHver and the girl gets engaged to a Jockey and Joe gives them a horfe shower and I suppose they cot married and Jess don't care as he has already got a wife In Lawrence, Kan. Jess Is but the Picture-Well, gents, I will have to admit that Jess isn't half bad movie actor, but they ought to have a lecturer up on the stage to tell what's going on towards the tail end of the picture. The subtitles are original, especially when the Mexicans are supposed to be talking as most of the time they talk in French dialect, but all their remarks end up with "si, senor" to give the whole thing a kind of a Spanish touch.

This effect is added to by the girl that plays the music as she plays "Sole Mio." During one of the Mexican ecenes, only she overlooked a chance to bring ir the Russian national hymn while Jess was massacrealng a room full of greasers. There isn't 'much news to write about here, Some of the experts has been on the scene so long they are getting cuckoo, you might say, and beginning to pull what is called practical jokes, though the jokees can't see nothing practical about them. The local papers say that the City Council has just passed a law providing that all crooks must be drove out of Toledo. If this goes Into effect before next Friday out-of-town fight fans needn't worry about getting a place to sleep when they come here, as the hotels will be practically empty. Tiny Maxwell of Philadelphia arrived on the scene today, and paid a visit to my'suite.

"Have you noticed the signs on the doors of the hotel rooms around here?" he inquired. "They say, Stop! Have you left anything!" "What of it?" in asked him. "Well," he said, "the answer after July 4 will be, yes, everything." (Copyright. 1919. by the Bell Syndicate.

Friday. June 2S Canada defeated America at baseball yesterday by a score of 2 to 1. This contest was the only event at the stadium. It was a well-played game and was heartily cheered by soldiers and sailors in the American section of the grand stand. The Canadian victory was largely due to the pitching of Ernie Tate of Port Huron.

Mich. On the Canadian team were other Americans. Capt. Jack Edls of Philadelphia and Gllpatrick of Orono, Me. tne choice or the Ohio Boxing Commission and of the men In Toledo who were instrumental in bringing the championship contest to this city.

As I said In a previous article the man who will officiate on July 4 must be brave, must be a quick thinker, must know the boxing rules thoroughly and must be ready to render a final verdict In the event of disagreement by the Judges. Mr. Pecord must be ready to prevent unnecessary ancllnchlng and he must he prompt and emphatic In his enforcement of the rules. All I ask from him Is fair play and honsat Judgment. I have every confldenre that I will receive these.

As for the Judges, their duty will oonlat In rendering a decision on points. If the bout goes the limit. W. Warren Barbeur, the official time keeper, appointed bv the Board of Boxing Control. Is an amateur ftportsman of great prestige.

ins duty Is a responsible one. A number of fights have been won and lost ba- stomach out for his sparring partners to pound. Of course I haven't seen him do this and I may be jumping at the wrong conclusions. But It ls my tllef that he can take those blows with perfect ease so long as he sets the stomach muscles for the punches. Catch him without the muscles rigid and the blows probably would hurt him Just the same as they hurt anyone else.

BUI Tate asked for his day' off today because of the pounding he has received around the tomach. I wonder If Willard would be willing to take that port of a beating? There Is no fat about me. and I would hate to think I had to stop a hard blow without that protection of fctrong. hardened muscles that comes from thorough trslnlng. I never, was trained to a- better point In my life.

I weigh more than I ever did for a fight. Taking these things Into consideration, my friends should be willing to believe that the CRICKET MATCH TODAY The St. Ixuis Cricket Club will hold a practice match on the Forest Park crease at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon.
