1 The third and deciding game was scheduled for 4:80 o'clock Wed-
■seder afternoon at Athletic Park. Each team now has won a game
and Wednesday’s tilt brings the series to a verdict.
Texhoma held a slight edge in pitching strength for the final
game, having O’Dell McDuffy ready to travel, though Gordon may
elect-to send back Snipe Conley, who won the first game for the oil-
ers. Lee Courtney will undertake to pitch the bankers to a pennant

WAY THROUGH THEIR MATCHES
“Harris turned in, one of the best
games of his colorful amateur car
reer Tuesday, and considering ito
importance, It waa one of the best
the Twilight kaa ever seen. The
hard-hitting oilers were let down
with only five hits, four at which
were singles, and- he walked but
three. “Fish" Trout also heaved a
cine brand of ball for the losing
team, but he permitted the bankers
to bunch two hits with an error in
the sixth for the winning runs.
The bankers, braced by the addi-
tion of several regulars who did
not play to the flrat game, put up a
much improved front and outplayed
the first half winners to'gain the
victory. Texhoma was handicapped
by the absence of two important
jutteld cogs. Hale and Kisriar.
Handel Delivers.
"The bankers obtained their two
runs in the sixth inning after Court-
ney had opened the round with a
single to right. Ross failed to pick
up T. Graves' hunt in front of the
' plate and both runners were safe.
Stanfield sacrificed Courtney and
Graves to third and second. Trout
tossed out Brown with no advance,
but Randel cracked-weingle past
first to score the only two runs of
the day.
i Each of the pitchers was, forced
pull out of quite a few tight
places and each team filled the bases
with one out ones during the game
without scoring. In the seventh and
y ninth Texhoma loot wonderful op-
% portunities to pierce Harris de-
tense. In the seventh Roos walked
■ and went all the way to third ea'
Trout’s infield hit. On an attempted
steal Stanfield cut off ‘Trout with a
chunk 10 Montgomery. Ross at-
tempted to score when Monty ran
Trout back toward first, but the
banker shortstop tagged Trout and
heaved to Stanfield in time to dou;

In the ninth McMahon gave the
offers an opening when he started
" with a double to deep left. Ander-
son sent Graves far back for hla
long liner. McMahon took third
after theeaten. Davis batted for
Boone and walked, stealing on the
first pitch. Roos hit to Montrom-
ery and. McMahon was Milad at the

Long Delayed Rally in Eighth Pro-

Ripple Off Southpaw
HOUSTON, Texas, Aug. 5.—Except
for an eighth inning rally when n
belated rally of four runs proved
harmless, “Red" Bird, latest member
of the Buff pitching staff, held the
Spudders at bay and Houston won
the opening game of the series, 8 to
4, Tuesday afternoon.
For seven Innings Bird set down
the opposition without n run, ex-
tracting himself from many deep
holes, one of which came In ths fifth
inning with the bases full and only
one out. On auroral other occasions
there were as many as two Spudders
clogging up the runaways, but each
time the veteran southpaw pulled
out of the hole with no damage
done.
Big Jim Roberts, Spudder chunk-
er, was peppered at a lively gait
until he went out under fire in the
fifth inning and was succeeded by
Bude Sutherland. Sutherland also
failed to etop the home club and
eight runs were counted before it
was over.
The lone Spudder splurge in the
eighth, that netted four runs, came
from n pass to Distel: Bodies single,
triples by Fitzgerald and Turgeon
and Williams’ sacrifice fly.

League, have act slyen up their
pennant fight.
Safely beached at third place aft-
er being buffeted about by Detroit
and Bt Louie in a long battle for
a strong foothold to the first di-
vision, the team Wednesday was
ready to strike at the leaders with
. prospects of a betterpitching staff
with the return of little Dick Kerr.
The hurling department has been
one of the weak links in the team
since the start of the race. The
hero of 1919. reinstated by Commise
sioner Landis, is due to report to

at once. Hla aid la sorely needed, a
glance at the box score of Tuesday’s
game with Philadelphia shows. Six-
teen hits were garnered off two
White Sox pitchers by the Mack-
men to win handily by 9 to 3 and
maintain thalr pace at the Ameri-

The Senators kept pace with the
Mackian advance aa the result of
four-hit pitching by Tom Zachary,
who blanked the Detroit Tigers aft-
er the second inning, rappad out a
triple and scored two of hla team’s
five runs. Manager Bucky Harris
collaborated with ZAckary to putting
over the triumph by inserting four

Commission’s Only Move Is to
Threaten Suspension for Any
Boxer Who Moots Dempsey
By HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Sports Editor 2
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—“Jersey Justice” is a term that has long
been used to express the maximum speed with which violators of the, i
criminal code can be handled by justice.
The same promptness to act against violators of the boxing code
is earning for the state of New Jersey a reputation that is expressed
best in the words of the cauliflowers—“That’s a good spot to stay 9.
away from.” 1,x
New Jersey has a law which makes legal twelve-round no-decision
bouts. “No decision” territory is pasture for a boxer who does not
want to risk his title or his face, but Jersey, wiht its no-decision law, ,
has turned into an ivy patch. • ’
There could be quoted numerous cases in the pest two years when
boxers were tossed out of the ring and told that there wae a strug-
gling little hospital, doing its bit for unfortunate humanity, that was
more deserving of his purse. And he had no comeback.
Held Up Purser
The meat prominent illustration
was afforded recently when Paul
Berlenbach, the world’s light heavy-
weight champ on, was ordered from
the ring with Tommy Marullo, his
opponent. The referee aald they
were not trying. 1
Everyone said It was a terrible
exhibition and It muat have been
because Berlenbach la had enough
to look at when he is trying.

when Berlenbach produced an x-ray

he tried to make it a fight, and he
was pardoned.
The New Jersey officials, how-
ever, took one-third of Berlen-
clamped with a body scissor, jt
wae a close call, and hla shoulders
were all but pinned to the mat.

Gorman limped to hla’ corner,

At Ite meeting here Tuesday, how-

discipline Dempsey by voting to sue

"We have received a letter from
Dempsey by, airplane," Chairman
Farley announced. "He agreed to
fight Wills and until he takes some
slope to bind his match his status
with us will remain the same; he
will continue to be ineligible.” *
Tex Rickard has s' letter from
Dempsey asserting that he will be
ready to fight Wills about July 4,
next year. Wills In the meantime,
is not interested in a bout with
Gene Tunney. Paddy Mullins, the
negro's manager, says that he is
after Dempsey and no one else. He

Ths result was the sams as when

Paul Berlenbach, at a corresponding

laney, against whom Berenbach’s
style also was nothing to be desired.

When Jimmy Slattery, one of the
most promising young light heavy-
weights developed in years, was
knocked out by Dave Shade, the
Welterweight challenger, many
critics who had looked upon him as
a possible heavyweight champion,

ising career had been ended.
Ring history does not support

knocked out at the same stage of
hla career. Benny Leonard was
knocked out “twice when he was
