Mullins and Hill I'ailej. hooked up in
the first pitching duel of the afternoon
and for a time it looked as though the
local left-hander would ring up a no-hir,
no-run game. Ovid's ambitions along this
lin.f were brought to a rude halt in the
eighth chapter wlie l.aKoss doubled for
the first hit «»! the day off Mullin>. Bailey's
double in this inning accounted for all
of the safeties ma !• off Lefty during the
full nine frames
Passes Prove Fatal.
In the eighth I.iltoss led off with a
double and took third when Leard ground
ed out, Martin to Dunekel. lie was nipped
off the bag a minute later, (*ibso:i to
Hale. It looked as though Lalioss slid
under the tags safely, but Pfirman ruled
otherwise. LaRoss <• barged in home and
shoved the umpire, but finding his anato-
iny protected by a mask and windpad, de-
cided it would be poor judgment to hruak
a hand on these pieces of armor and
restrained himself from emulating .lack
Jjempsey. He was chased from the game
for his naughty words.
Hupp walked with two out and counted
when Bailey broke into the hit column
With a two-base poke.
In the ninth another pass proved fatal
also, for Mathes led off with four wide
ones whi'li netted him first He took
second when Breen smashed one back at
Mullins that the latter knocked down,
nailing the third baseman at first. A
wild pitch put Ma the-; on third and he
scored when Johnston grounded out, Full-
er to Dunekel. The ball hopped badly
or Fuller would have killed Mathes at
the plate.
Aces Helpless in Pinch.
The helplessness of the Aees in n pinch
when a hit would have netted a run or
two was pitiful, though the fans refused
to lose faith in them during the first
game. Bailey was going like a prairie
I'irr and had them standing on their heads
tit the plate.
In the second inning a chance to scor*
was wasted Hale beat out a bunt and
was safe at second and Brown at first
when the latter also bunted, with Mathes
dropping Bailey's peg to first. Northen
then dumped one and was safe on beard's
fumble of the throw to first. With tho

ed dire-fly ; i' Bailey. Martin and Fuller
pulled the hit and run with Frankie tak
ing third on Jack's blow to right for one
b;,se. Iliis put a runner on third and
one on first with none out, but liope* of
s oring went a-glimmer wtieu Dunekel
grounded to Leard, who again torn bed sec
<>iid and threw to first for a double play.
In the fourth Brown walked and was
safe at second when liapp dropped a peg
from Mathes. Brown got caught between
first and second trying to take too long
a lead and Bailey heaved to Mathes. who
pegged to Kapp'with the aforementioned
result. The next two men went out in
order, ending the inning.
Sheffield was the only other player to
reach first base during the game. He was
hit on the shoulder blade by Bailey in
the eighth, loir another last double play.
Alexander to Mathes, put him back on the
! bench. Mullins popped to the catcher,
I while Sheffield ran wildly to second base,
J only to discover that he had been slightly
premature, as it were.
Moseley Master at Second.
Mo-rley outpitched -Boss in the second
game, also a chunker's duel. The Oilers
made a run in the second, when Kapp
doubled over third base and scored on
Nixon's single.
They made three more in the seventh
when Kapp doubled again, Moseley was
safe on a bunt which he beat out, with
Boss trying to nab ltapp at third on the
play, but without success. Nixon then bit
to deep center and Brown dropped the
ball after a hard run. He partly got hold
of it coming over bis head but was unable
to hold it. Bapp scored, with Moseley tak-
ing third on the two-base hit. Mathes'
triple put Moseley and Nixon over.
In four innings the Aces had chances
to score, but eould not hit when a base
blow was needed. The batting order was
scrambled in Mils game, with Northen lead-
ing off. He walked in the first and made
second when Fuller bunted and beat out
the throw. Hub stole third. Ilale tried
to bunt, but without success, the home-
run hitter popping to Breen.
Brown walked, filling the bases and the
fans cheered for some runs. Dunekel shot
one to Bapp. who tossed to Leard at sec-
ond. The latter essayed-to throw to first
for a double, which was made to order,
but the ball went straight up in the air
when Brown got in front of the throw and
this hit his arm.
Pfirman was not looking, but after a look
at the ball in the air decided Brown had
interfered and called him out on suspicion.
No doubt his guess was correct, as it ap-
peared as though Brown took advantage of
Pfirman's optics being glued on first and
deliberately tried to block the throw.
Martin Given the <>ate.
Capt. Jack Martin, or manager pro tem
to be correct, kicked loud and long over
the decision and for his tirade was given
the option of going to the < lub house and
changing clothes or having the game for
felted. After Pfirman pulled his watch I
and showed he meant business Martin do- j

Hale grounded out. Brown walked, fill-

Breen. Again in the fifth they had a
chance to count when Boss doubled. He
was nipped off second, Kitchens to Bapp,
when taking too long a lead in an effort to
make third when Northen tried to bunt.
Jackson hit for Gibson in the seventh
and walked. Sheffield singled but was
doubled out along with Burch on the bit-

DEMPSEY JULY 4.
By T'niversal Service.
TOLEDO, Ohio, June 28.—Betting on the
struggle between Jess Willard and Jack
Dempsey for the world's heavyweight box-
ing championship July 1 will get under
way in Toledo tomorrow with the fighters
at even money and take your pick. That's
the information given out tonight by C. B.
Chryster, who is one of several who will
books on the battle right here on the scene.
Boards will go up all over the downtown
district during the week and two are cer-
tain to siart business tomorrow.
One of them will be conducted by Chry-
ster at the Waldorf Hotel. Col. Joe Miller
of 101 Ranch fame, who tried to stage a
fight between Willard and Fre«l Fulton
and failed after matching the men, is back-
ing Chryster.
The bookmakers plan right off the reel
to take all the money they can get at evens
and allow the customer to choose his man.
It's not like a horse race. There are only
two Involved, the layers are not worrying
much about the price. Another thing that
will go up on the boards tomorrow will
be a price of I to 5 that Willard does not
answer the bell for the sixth round.
This does not mean that Dempsey has to
finish Jess in five rounds. Jess may be
in such bad shape that when the bell
rings at the end of the fifth stanza, while
not counted out, he will be unable to come
up for another round. Those who like
Dempsey want that extra minute for Jess
to decide that he lias had enough of the
gruelling.
There is a preponderence of Dempsey
money in Toledo today, and this may make
him a favorite shortly unless much Wil-
lard coin shows presently. The heavy
bettors from New York are on the ground
and are anxiously awaiting the coming of
the Texas oil men who are said to be will-
ing to risk fortunes on the champion.
Dempsey Must Win Quickly.
There is much scheming and figuring be-
ing done in the light of percentage bet-
ting, sharps trying to get on wagers that
will insure a profit one way and no loss at
all if they guess wrong. In order to do
this some are betting on both men to win
and then gambling on an early victory for
Dempsey. The general impression among
people who bet for a livelihood is that
Dempsey is a good bet if the fight ends
quickly, but that if Willard is going along
nicely after five rounds that his size and
strength will tell the tale, and that the
Dempsey bolt will be shot.
A newspaper writer who halls from New
York, where most everybody Is picking
Dempsey, has wagered $100 to $2,000 that
Jack wins in one round, and $100 to $1,000
that the challenger cops the crown from
the Kansas bonnet, in two sessions. He
thinks Dempsey is the faster starter, and
that with a good break in the luck he
may roil Jess over in jig time.
One man who is here to go broke on
Dempsey before July 4 in the hope that
he will be much wealthier July 5, was
asked today how he expected Jack to get
past that great left of Willard's so early in
the conflict.
"Well,", he said. "Fred Fulton was
thought to have a greater left than Wil-
lard's. Yet Dempsey got Inside of that
and knocked out the plasterer in eighteen
seconds. He'll slip bv the Willard left,
which looks slow and cubersome to me."
MANY WATCH MEN WORK.
By Associated Press.
TOLEDO, Ohio. June 22.—With the re-
turn of cool weather, the largest crowds
that have seen Jess Willard and Jack
Dempsey in training to date packed the
camps of the heavyweight rivals today.
Dempsey boxed two rounds with the
Jamaica Kid and two with Sergt. Bill Tate.
Tate had no difficulty in hitting the chal-
langer with rangy lefts and rights and
uppercuts. Dempsey's layoff, necessitated
because of the cut over his eye, apparently
Impaired his judgment of distance, but his
trainers said he would improve as he con-
tinues work and that he should be at his
best within a week.
Willard boxed the usual eight rounds
and did three of shadow boxing and other
exercises. Jack Heinen, the Chicago heavy-
weight, quit the camp because of an in-
jury to his neck.
With tiu» arrival tomorrow of MaJ. A. J.
Drexel Riddle, president of the Army. Navy
and Civilian Board of Boxing Control, def-
inite announcement in regard to the ref-
eree question is expected to be made.
Willard was advised that he hud been
granted the first professional boxer's li-
cense by the Board of Boxing Control.
Dempsey was granted license number two.
The first promoter's license was awarded
to Tex lUckard, promoter of the Independ-
ence Day contest.
