champion, in the second round of
their scheduled ten round battle
In the White Sox park. Thomp
son is tho welterweight tltleholder
in fact if not officially only be
cause of a weight technicality.
The only reason Thompson Is
not proclaimed champion today
was because Dundee forced him
to weight 118 pounds, one pound
over the welterweight, limit.
Thointpson, in conquering1 the
welterweight king, made a tre
mendous impression. He seems to
have inherited the grqat skill of
his famous fellow man, Gans. He
possesses a sterling combination of
a perfect boxer and a terrific two
handed puncher. His style is
strikingly like tho old lightweight
master.
clnnatl Iteds from the heights they
held earlier in the year in the Na
tional Icskuo dnteH to a series they
played against the last place Phil
lies. The Reds lost four straight
at that time and their play for
weeks afterwards was below form.
Yesterday the Philadelphia Ath
letics and the New York Ynnkees,
fighting a two-club battle for the
American league pennant, were cut
down by foes they should defeat
with little trouble, tho Yanks bow
ing to the Washington Senators and
the A's to . the last place Boston
Red Sox. These reverses left the
A's two and a half games back
of the defending champions.

his pitching chores for Miller Hug-i

Los Angeles' energy in tho
ninth forced tho battle with the
Senators Into 12 Innings. The
score, tied at four-all when Sac
ramento came to bat, the Senators
filled the bnses, only to have
triple play spoil their hopes. Each
team got one run In the 11th and
Sacramento got the final count
in tho U'th to win, 6 to 5. Tho
Angels took an early lead with
three runs In the first, but that
was cut down and the remainder
was a pitching battle. Batteries:
Keating and Sovereid, Koehlcr;
Cunningham and Hannah.
A ninth inning rally, climaxed
bv Earl Avcrill's homer, brought
victory for San Francisco over
Oakland, f! to 5. The Acorns
had a two-run lead when tho
Seals came to bat, but a walk,
double and the homer was too
many for them. Cooper and- Mit
chell, both southpaws, battled
throughout for supremacy. Bat
teries: Mitchell, May and Sprinz;
Cooper .and Lombard!.
The Bells tookt Seattle into camp
14 to 1, with 24 hits to their
credit for tho nine-Inning fracas.
"Wilson and Jimmy Middlcton, who
followed him, were unable to
the famous lightweight king of two
decades ago. He revealed . these
sterling qualities when he knocked
Dundee down twice in the second
round and stood there waiting to
deliver the finishing punch when
Heferee Eddie Purdy mercifully
stepped between them and stopped
tho uneven battle. Purdy'a action
gave Thompson a technical knock
out victory, but actually Dundee
was out on his feet when Purdy
carried him to his corner.
Young Jack, boxing cautiously
and deliberately, used up the first
round in feeling out the champion.
There were several exchanges of
blows with honors about even. In
the second, Thompson swarmed all
over -the tltleholder. A right hand'
shot to Dundee's chin sent him
reeling across the ring. Thorn p
soon, cool as an iceberg, followed
hiH advantage with a relentless
two fisted attack. Another terrific
right cross knocked Dundee sprawl
ing across the ring and stretciied
ltlm flat on his face.
The champion ot up at nine,
' hut he was a helpless, sorry look
ing fighter. Thompson charged in
again with both hands flashing to
Dundee's chin. Dundee sought
shelter from that rain of fists on
the ropes, hut Thompson stepped
hack, measured him. hanged over
another fury of punches and Dun
dee went down attain this time on
l is back. He pullod himself to
his feet at the county of nine, hut
his arms hung limp, his eyes
were glassy and his legs still as
he stood there reeling and wait

qureor. Ho was defenseless and
