An unlimited number of errors by

13 runs. The game opened with

bases for oe run each.

have won 11 and lost 1 in ths

The Frogs continued their

apparently unsettled the visiting

tally in the second and third, two

Wood wielded the willow in a

NEW YORK, May 16.—Jess
Willard, mammoth Kansas heavy-
weight. who staged a comeback In
defeating Floyd Johnson of Iowa
last Saturday in the Yank stadium.
ely °d a contract Tuesday tor a
V with Luis Firpo, giant Ar-
gentine fighter, who defeated Jack
McAuliffe on the milk fund card.
The contest will take place not
later than July 7 in New York or
vicinity..
The victorious fighter in the
Willard-Firpo bout has been guar-
anteed a battle with Champion
Dempsey on or about Labor Day,
Promoter Rickard said today.
Rickard, by the way, said if the
bout is not put on at the Yaak
stadium, he will use the bowl at
Boyle's Thirty Acres In Jersey
City, where Carpentier lost to
Dempsey two years ago.
A. series of ellminations will
weed oat the fighters who have
no businees bla-blaing for the
heavy crown. The wheel of for-
tune began moving last Saturday,
when Willard and Firpo emerged'
victorious from the mass of beef
piled up in the Yankee stadium.
Johnson failed to show much
stuff against Willard, but hs did
give ths Kansas giant a good
scrap for neveral rounds, and Jess
clearTy convinced experts that he
is in better shape at 41 than the
day he knocked out Jack John-
son. Firpo continued his batter-

GREAT CLUB
Player for player, position for
position, the Pirates are almost as
strong as ths Giants. They might
be a trifle Use game perhaps be-
cause they have not been called
upon to um their courage so
much, and they might not be un-
der leadership as brainy as the
Giants, but they seem to have
everything else about equal.
"Reb” Ruasell, who waa one of
the big powers in the resuscitation
of the Pirates this year, haa been
in a bad alump and it haa reduced
the effectiveness of the club. He
sprang a sore back, and, along
with the curtailing of his batting
he went into a bad Holding alump.
When Russell gets going again,
the club is bound to improve.
The Pirates are still fast in the
field and on the bases, and they
are as alert at any team in the
league. Their defense haa Improv-
ed over last year, aa Rabbit Ma-
ranville has settled down to seri-
ous ball playing, and "Ple" Tray-
nor ia playing a most brilliant
game at third base. Traynor now
is ons of the beet third-basemen
in the league and he is not yet
matured. Tierney has been bat-
ting heavily, and while lie ian’t
the smoothest second baseman in
the National, he Is anything but
ths poorest.
GRIMM STARS -
Grimm is the first baseman to-
day in the league. He la a bettor
fielder than Kelly, and he to hit-
ting all over the Giant first sack-
er. He has hit safely in every
game thia season, and has run a
consecutive string up to twenty-
four games.

The iron stroke is more of a
punch, in which there should be
no hesitancy about hitting the turf.
Ths iron is mors of a stiff-arm
stroks. with shorter back owing,
less pivoting and more forcing of
the etroke.
Because the swing is shorter,
with accuracy more essential than
distan, ths stance is somewhat
different than with wood, the feet
generally closer together and the
ball nearer,the line of the right
foot
These are pointe on which it to
well worth while to get practical
first-hand instruetion, for they
mean much to a beginner’s prog-
ress.
No end of self-taught golfers
piny their wooden shots as they
should irons, and vice versa.
On iron shorts don't be afraid
to let the elub hit the turt. Don’t
try to lift the ball with the arms.
The clubbead will do it.
N is modeled for that purpose.
