three games out of four, and looked
mighty good in winning. Their sole de-

get back on the Winning trail again.
The. Browns and Yankees- have
clashed twelve times so far—eight
times in St. Louis and four in hew
York—and the Mound City lads have
captured Just two games. One was in
New York and the other out there.
Surely. St. Louis has contributed to
the success of the New Yorkers this
season. in other seasons they llbtul to
take a delight. in laying to wreck the
pennant hopes of the Yankees.

\V’hilc on the subject of other days
in St. Louis baseball. there is another
crisis out there. Lee Fohls crown as
manager of the lirowns is tilted at a

was still out. so Smith piziy-il right
ll‘l'l and ilinih'icks was in b it. Smith
got a. homer and two singlrs in ad-
dition to a base on balls. but the tars
knew Pll'll} much about him.
Hendricks made a grwat hit with
th«- crowd drspite the partisan feeling
in St. Louis. lli- pot a single that drove
over two runs and draie three hard:
flies to the outfield. They were not
fooling him. by any means. Hendricks
made two running catches that were
dandics. llis grab of Hank Sevcrcld's
right off the hilt field pavilion was a
dandy. and Hendricks also has a good
throwing arm—not so good as Mouse].
but better than the average.
Sctt came back and flashed a real
old fashioned Scott day. He was fast
as a streak. and rovcd to his right and
left as he did five or six years ago. He
dug several bails out of the dirt and
made fine throws. and he hopped high
in the air to take a double off Ezzeli's
average. Joe Dugan played in his
usual style around the far turn and
made one play on Jacobson that was
a jimcrackcr. Dugan is so far above
the rest of the third Suckers that there
is little umparison. He will have it
out with Willie Kamm for the next
four days.

MEUSEL’S ARM TR
PLAfllll CAST
Witt’s Sprained Ankle Will
Also Keep Him Out of
Outfield Several Days.
CHICAGO. June 11.—Bob Muesel,
the tall outfielder of the Yankees. is
carrying his arm in a plaster cast to-
day. Dr. Robert Hyland club physician
of the St. Louis Browns. placed the
Callfornian's arm in a cast. following
his retirement from the last game of
the Brown series which was won by
the Yankees. 9 to 3. Muesel injured
his great throwing arm in one of the
games of a double~header with “'ash-
ington at the Yankee Stadium. July
4. He tried to continue in the game
but he aggravated the injury by at~
tempting to throw. On balls hit to him
he would relay the throw to the other
outfielders.
The longer Muesel stayed in the
game the worse his injured arm grew.
He tried to play in yesterday's game
but was forced out after going to hat

in the meantime the referee was

ring toward the prostrate Goldman. At
nine Goldman pulled himself to his
feet. took one step toward Mitchell
and lashed out with a right hand
swing that landed flush on Pinky's

der-bolt. He was knocked stiff.
Just as Pinky hit the floor the bell
rang. His seconds had to pick him up
and carry him to the corner. where it
took frantic work to bring him up for
the fifth round.
Pinky. with height. weight and
reach in his favor. managed to out
point Goldman during the remainder
of the bout and had him wabbling in

Tendler Gets Eyeful.
Danny Kramer. Tendler's own pro-
tege. who is a real southpaw second
edition of Lew and boxes in almost
identically the same form. outfought
Tommy Noble. of England. in the oth-
er eight-rounder. just as beetle 3. com-
bat as the other contests mentioned.
But it. was not until Tendler noticed
the bathrobed form of his coming ad-
versary making his way up the crowd-
ed aisle that Lew displayed anything
more than a languid interest. Tend-
ler’s eyes lit up with a new light when
he saw Leonard. And from then on
until Benny left the ring after his go
with Hart. Tendler watched the cham~
plon like a hawk. Lew certainly got
an eyeful.
“How does he look. Lew?" we ven-
tured to glory at the end of the bout. .
Putting on his best poker face.
Tendler replied:—
“Say. he‘s in wonderful shape. 'sn't
be? He's only got four pounds to take
of! in the fortnight before our battle
in New York. He's in better shape
now than I expected he would be.
W'eli. I’ll be ready for him. I leave
for Delanco. where I trained for the
last Leonard fight. tomorrow to put
in my finishing licks. I'm in great
glaiape now. but I'll be better by July
Tendler is a. shrewd discerning
young man. and he probably noticed
a. lot of things which he did not men-
ti'on.
Loom Down Fine.
Among other things he probably
noticed that while Leonard is only
four pounds above the lightweight
limit Benny apparently does not car-
ry an ounce of superfluous weight. He
appeared to be‘ down pretty fine. Tak-

punches. They said he didn't want to

Hart's father. Alex's thirteen-year-
old brother John. whom he calls
"Buddy." and scvcral other old friends
from Lorraine. Ohio. who are to take
him back to Ohio for the wedding

last night. And seine of the boys de-

however. and we failed to detect him
pulling a punch or trying to pull a
punch. Benny hit with all his waist
and leg leverage and with the full
weight of his body behind the blows.
The punches lacked. the old magic
snap.
In the fortnight intervening before
the Tendler bout Leonard not only has
got to take off four pounds of good
lighting weight. but he's got to get the
snap back in his punch or there may
be a. new world's lightweight cham-
pion.
Leonard is as fast and clever as
ever, faster on his feet than we have
seen him at any time in the last three
years. but he isn‘t hitting with that.

ago.
The sandbag at Tannersville and
Benny's sparring partners will be in

and next if Trainer Mannie Seaman
directs Leonard wisely.
No Superfluous “'clght.
Benny last night did not seem to
carry any superfluous weight about
the waist. His stomach was like the
corrugated surface of a washboard.

Benny is likely to have to wear the
rubber tights when he goes on the
road at Tannersville. He is down fine.
and the weight that must be taken of!
must come from the thick legs and
prominent buttocks._rAbove he waist
Leonard apparently doesn't carry any
excess flesh.
As far as the Leonard-Hart contest
itself went there wasn't much to it.
One round was about the same as the
other. with Leonard continually forc-
ing the fighting and begging Hart to
come on and make a fight out of it.
The contest was not a. slow one. for
Benny kept on top of Hart through-
out. but it looked slow because of the
fast and fierce mills which preceded it.
In the other contests the stars had
to fight. Bobby \Volgast forced the
milling with Lynch. and Joe had to
fight for his life. Georgie Russell
tried desperately to knock out Richie
Mitchel Kramer and Noble were
as aggressive as bulldogs. Noble put
