Kid Chocolate, Fistic Sensation of Year, Going Against "Little Fiddle" in Bout That Should Decide Bantam Crown. BY BENTLEY.

Those gentlemen of the bleachers who sold Nebraska short along in the early innings of Tuesday's game with the Kansas Jayhawkers found themselves unable to cover their margins during a seven run rally in the eighth inning which enabled the Nebraskans to take their sixth straight victory on the home The score was 10 to 9. There -was an old tradition in Afghanistan made popular during the reign of Leopold III that a lucky ball club is always to be preferred to a good ball club. The Huskers added weight to that conviction. The Kansans had their moments which included the theft of an even dozen bases, eight of which were stolen during a six-run rally in the third frame. Going into their share of the eighth inning behind 9 to 3 the Huskers came to life with a combination of basehits, errors and walks which enabled seven runs to trickle over.

Belts' triple to the centerfield fence drove home the tying and -winning runs. Others Who Helped. TUESDAY'S SCORES. Others who furnished the powder in this offensive were Row with a double, and singles by Sloan. Maser and Ullstrom.

Coach John Bunn of Kansas used two relief pitchers in an effort to shut off this dam- page. Clair Sloan, the Dazzy Vance of this league, fireballed the Jayhawkers into submission after they had nicked Hank Armatis for eight hits and as many runs in four and one-third innings. The Cornhuskers moved into a tie with Kansas State for third position in the Big Six as a result of Tuesday's win. The Nebraskans meet the Kaggies at Manhattan in two games Friday and Saturday. The Missouri Tigers come here next Monday and Tuesday, followed by Iowa State who play here the following Friday and Saturday.

impending bout between Kid Chocolate and Fidel Labarba, which 1 will come pretty close to deciding the bantamweight champion of the world, is attracting a great deal of interest. Chocolate has been the fistic sensation of the year. Starting in a preliminary bout in one of the smaller New York clubs he came thru so brilliantly that within six months he was headlined and his services sought all over the country. Some folks believe the Cuban is unbeatable in his class. No one has taken a decision over him.O Joe Scalfaro, slugging little Italian, fought him a draw principally because Joe landed a haymaker in the very first round of their battle, and Chocolate was badly shaken before he really got under way.

Graham Fools Him However, Chocolate showed himself vulnerable in his bout with Bushy Graham, tho he won the decision on a foul. Bushy's eccentric style had the colored boy all at sea. They tell me Steve Smith gave Chocolate a close fight in Scranton, and one of the judges gave the decision to Smith. I think the kid is a good fighter, and he is a cracking good hitter. But he isn't greatly experienced.

In going up against Labarba he will be facing a champion, a fellow with class. He'll find that Fidel can carry the pace quite as fast" as Graham did, and if he can beat the handsome little Californian everyone will have to admit he is the best in his class. i They are still talking about a fight between Chocolate and Al Singer, a featherweight, who is i called "the second Benny ard." Singer is the most popular local boy developed in New York in years. He and Chocolate would pack 'em in at an outdoor show.

To get that bout, tho, the kid will have to beat Labarba handily.

Yesterday's hero Al Spohrer, Boston Braves' young catcher, whose single in the twelfth inning drove in the winning run enabling his team to beat the Chicago Cubs, 6 to 5, in the only National league game. The defeat dropped the Cubs back into a tie with the St. Louis Cardinals for the National league leadership. It was the first loss of the season for Pat Malone, Cubs pitcher. Hard and timely hitting enabled the Philadelphia Athletics to beat the Detroit Tigers, 10 to 8, and regain the American league lead.

Al Simmons hit a home run and Joe Boley clouted two triples. Both teams used four pitchers. Fothergill drove in five runs with a homer and two singles. Fred Marberry stopped a St. Louis rally in the ninth after four runs had crossed the plate and the Washington Senators won from the Browns, 9 to 7.

Bill Cissell's home run in the seventh broke a 2-2 tie and the Chicago White Sox went on to win from the Boston Red Sox, 6 to 2. Bob Weiland, White Sox recruit southpaw, held the Red Sox to five hits. No other games were played. Along Cards Appear Strong. BY GEORGE K1RSKEY.

YORK. Changes in the betting odds on the major league pennant races have made the Chicago Cubs and the New York Yankees favorites to meet in the world aeries. When the season opened the Cubs and Giants were joint favorites in the National league at 11 to 5. The odds on the Cubs have been cut to 3 to' 1. Even tho the Giants are down in seventh place, and the Cardinals are tied with the Cubs for the National league lead, better odds are available in St.

Louis than either Chicago or New York. The Cards are quoted at 6 to 1, 2 to 1 and even. On their showing to date the Cards appear quite as formidable as the Cubs or Giants and the long odds on the National league champions are unexplainable unless betting commissions figure they can still count the 1928 world series against the Red Birds. The poor showing of the Giants has many McGraw fans worried but the betting commissioners are afraid to make the price too attractive on New Y'ork, probably fearing the Giants will stage another one of their sensational finishes. The Yankees remain odds-on favorites in the American league.

They are quoted at 9 to 10. More money probably has been on the Yankees that on any other team in either league and betting men refuse to desert them. The Athletics are second choice at 17 to 10 and are getting a good play from some of the smart money. Odds quoted on the first division clubs follows: IUTTING IS A ONE" HAND SHOT National league-Cubs 13 10 1 6 to 1 Braes TO 1 Pirates .10 to 1 A i a league-Yanks 9 to 10 A i .17 to 10 Browns to 1 Tigers 1 2 to 1 Betting commissioners report that there is an unprecedented amount of betting on the baseball races this season and that if it continues at the present gait all records will be broken. What work should the wrists do in putting? Ainwrrrd Hy BOB I I A innw of Ancr-lrs.

Mm It OPMI I'JZI. MarTlmiil Opru. As has already been said him dreds of times, putting is really a one handed stroke. The right hand I is always in control of the club, assisted by the right elbow which steadied by pressing close to tlir body during the entire stroke. The right wrist is flexed slightly on the backswing, with the left hand and wrist merely following it back.

On the downswing, the right wrist is straightened and the left wrisi comes into play in raising the club on the slight follow thru. In each instance, however, it is the right haml and wrist that dominate the club. Also, most players will find a good heavy putter to their ad vantage. (Copyright. 1921.)
