(Associated Piiess Sports Writer) So far this season, the American league has been reversing the usual order of things and producing a large number of pitching battles while the National league, sluggers have held the upper hand. But the Cincinnati Reds have been doing their best to make the older circuit conform. The season for the Reds seems to be just one close game after another whether they win or lose. They have been winning most of them for the past ten'days shut only after some terrific struggles. Of.

the six victories and three defeats on their record in that time, all but.three games have been by one run. The Reds have been getting some great pitching, but for no'apparent'reason their opponents turn up with the same thing. Cincinnati engaged in its fourth successive close game yesterday, losing the. series opener to Philadelphia, 3 to 1, through one costly error. Joe Stripp's bad throw to first in the second.inning paved the way for two Phillie counters and Ray Benge held the upper hand on the mound through the rest of the game while Jalde May did about as well.

Through all the rest of the National league, only one other pitcher went the route. Hal Carlson lasted nine innings while tne Chicago Cubs took first place away from the New York Giants by beating them, 6 to 5, but he gave 14 hits. The Cubs got only 11, but they bunched the longer ones 'for three runs off Hub Pruett in the eighth inning. Burleigh Grimes lost his chance to do something for the Boston Braves by being too polite to umpire Mike Donohue. After protesting several decisions Grimes found one he liked and his exaggerated thanks earned him a trip to the showers.

Wee Willie Sherdel finally earned the Cardinals a 10 to 6 victory over the Braves -when he stepped in after Boston's five run rally in and protected the long St. Louis lead. Bill Clark of Brooklyn and Jess Petty of Pittsburgh engaged in a fine mound duel for seven innings but both departed suddenly as each team scored four runs in the eighth. Brooklyn won the game, 7 to 4. Boxers Are Eager But No Promoters "Rip" Blake, Borger lightweight, agrees to stop either "Cotton" Henley of Albuquerque, or Dave Jackson of Santa Pe.

Collections For Muny Docket Justice vH Hall Thinks He will let Prisoners Lay It Out Municipal court is "holding the sack" figuratively, literally and apparently hopelessly, Justice H.

H. Hall declared today, for a sum of between $400 in uncollected fines. This delinquent account, according to Justice Hall, represents credit extended defendants who were broke when their fines were assessed. They were permitted to go out and "raise the money" and as far as the court knows it is still being raised. But hard are coming for those who owe police court, Hall says, and it is his intention to order arrest of those who owe and won't pay.

"Hereafter," said justice this morning, "I think when they can't pay the fine they will just go to jail. They had just as well go first as last." Last month was a slow one for collections and only $214.85 was turned over to the city treasurer by Justice Hall.

"The negro's victory was a startling upset, as Fields had twice defeated him in ten round engagements. Few figured that Thompson, haying twice bowed to the superior fighting Fields, him in a third meeting. Fields entered'the ring a 3 to 1 favorite and left it as soundly defeated a ring champion had been.

When the referee shoved Thompsons' weary arm into the air in victory, the Oakland lad became the first negro champion since Joe Wolcot won the title from Rube Ferns in Fort Erie, in 1901. 'The passing lOfrFields was spectacular and at times pathetic. He was hammered into leg weariness and might have fallen a victim to a knockout punch after the tenth except for the fact that he hung on for dear life in an effort to escape having the fatal, ten counted over him. After the tenth round Fields had nothing except admirable courage to carry him through to the went fighting, pounded unmercifully but 'exhibiting a display of gameness that won the admiration of a crowd of 14,000 which paid $70,000 to witness the battle.
