Thirty rounds of boxing will usher the 1926 27 boxing
sca.son into Klamath Falls two weeks from Saturday night at
the Scandinavian hall, according to the complete card, ar
ranged -yesterday and announced by Promoter Earl Erown
last night.
After' niui-li "Telegraphic bartering' with a gcntTf)a'med
who boxed here last year, but who has been
summering in the Nevada-Arizona country, the battling Swede
has finally decided to take on Earl Ritchie, a local boy, in the
headliner, a 10-roiiml affair. Olson wired Brown yesterday
that he would lie here bright and early Monday to start train
ing. Olson has been in trim since he left here, having Jought
no less than a dozen bouts in tho southeasterly direction, and
it should lake little training to put him in the proper fettle
for the pro-Labor day scrap here. He may be seen with others
on the card, in daily workouts from now on.
The semi-vrindup will be

CHICAGO, Aug. 21. (United News) While the Na
tional league pc.ied in a state of suspended animation, the con
testants for the American league pennant went out and lost a
ball game apiece Friday and ended the day in the same rel
ative position, the .Senators one full game in front of the
Athletics. '
Earl Whitehill, a somewhat runty gent for a pitcher, per
formed one of the prodigies of the season in defeating, the
Senators in Detroit. He pitched 11 innings and finally shut
th4m out 1 to 0, another low score, which tends to confirm the
suspicion that the major leagues have suddenly revised the
ball- once more with the object of taming the critter. Stan
Coveleskie and "Firpo" Marberry pitched for Washington.
There was fairly liberal hitting from both sides considering
the total of 19 blows. . ' i
. 1 : The Athletics, who seem to have
come apart after the tension of set
ting the pace during a long stretch
ot the season, took a pasting from
the White Sox. 8 to 2. and their los
ing streak is now long enough to
braid.
The Browns inflicted the 81st
drubbing ot the season on the Bos
ton Red Sox. who are contenders
for the booby prise of the year for
all leagues. The score was 9 to 7. '
To appreciate how terrible the Red
Sox are, even with their legacy of
world series traditions and all such
bosh as that. It Is only necessary to
compare them with the Braves, Who
hail from the same town, and oc
cupy corresponding positions, at the
bottom. In the National league. The
Braves hare won 17 same more
than the Red'sox and have lost 14
games fewer. , 1

Tanks had ,a tussle "tor "sixth- placev"
which was in no way reminiscent
of their hot combats this ,time in
1920 and 1921, when they were
fighting for first place and the pen
nant. The Indians won 2 to 1. ' ,
DECIDES TO GET
NEW YORK, Aug. 21
(United News) Benny Leon
rd, lightweight champion of
the world, who announced his
retirement from the ring lastJ
year in a mammy composition
of deathless prose, has finally
gained control over the tender
emotion of filial love, and will
come back for more fights and
more money.
Billy Gibson, Leonard's man
ager, made the announcement
Frdiay afternoon, but neither
he nor Leonard offered to ex
plain how. Benjamin recon
ciled this course with the tear
ful communique in which he
said he was quitting the ring
for the sake of his dear old
mother. Leonard was in the
dramatic profession at that
time, adorning the vaudeville
stage, and the announcement
lent considerable publicity to
his act, a number in which he
took occasion to Rdvise all
young men to love their
mothers.
Humbert Fugazy, an ex-
fighter, who promoted the big
flop" and benefit fight program for the
Italian hospital fund this sum
mer, expects to promote Leon
ard's come-back match, : and
probably will be staged' at

LTTLE ROCK. Ark.. Aug 21.
(United Press) John D. Martin,
president ot the Southern Associa
tion Baseball league, will ; confer
HU Buscball Commlssiose K. M.
Landis In Chicago Saturday, and
lay before him a full Report of the
investigation of the rumors of
scandal Involving the Kashvllle and.
New Orleans clubs. It was announced "
late Thursday night.
The second chapter In the scandal
was enacted Thursday night when
members of the Nashville club filed
Into "court" here and gave sworn
testimony. The court was held be
hind closed doors In a hotel suite
John D. Martin, president ot the
Southern association, ' presided. A
court stenographer was on hand to
take down the testimony after a
notary public bad shown the players
how to swear they were telling the
truth, and all ot It, with no gar
nishments. Tucker, the 'New Orleans out
fielder, first was summoned Into the
inner regions for the ordeal. Twen-,'
ty-flve minutes later he waived his
place to Larry Gilbert, manager ot
the New Orleans Pelicans. . Other
platers followed one by one.
Martin will keep the testimony a
strict secret until after his confer
ence with Commissioner Landis, he
announced. Should rumors be borne
out that two Nashville players were
approached to "go rotten," the guil
ty partios will be meted out full
punishment, President Martin has
promised.
Tho rumors were that two un
named players on the Nashville team
farmed out tc that club by the
Cleveland club, were promised a re
lease back to Cleveland and a call
to New Orleans with a subsequent
Bhare In the championship series
Monday at New Orleans.
No names were called In any ot
the reports. Officials ot the Pell
cans have given their hearty ap
proval of the Investigation, and vari
ously set aside the scandal rumors
as publicity, spite and pure bosh.
