though he was on his way to a. quick

quite a battle. He stood up under a

Levine one pound less. Levine took

champion from Harry Windmill

forced postponement of the bout un-
til July 2.
From the time he started to tod~
die Mickey was told to "Milld where
you're walking. Watch your step."
But the other day he got to ambilng
around the ring. stubbed his toe
and found himself with a bum toe

But the slight postponement hasn't

ever.
Such battles always arouse inter-
est. One of‘the greatest fighters the
game has ever produced wen much
fame by his eag’erneas to take on and
success in dealing with gentlemen
weighing many pounds more than
himself.
That man was Joe Welcott the
great negro. labeled the "Giant Kil-
ler" because of his ability to take
big men and whittle them down to
his size.

NEW. YORK. June 17.-A' giant
craft is tossing about on turbulent
seas. having felt the backwash of
five straight defeats by Pirates. A
12~11 verdict for Pittsburgh yester-
day in 10 innings was the seventh
defeat for the Giants since the

by Glenn Wright submerged the
New Yorkers.

secutive innings, their 13 runs of the
day before coming in their final
time at bat.
Cincinnati. by defeating Brooklyn
6 to 6. passed the Dodgers and slid
into third place. This victory gives
the Reds ten victories out of their
last 11 games. Boston was forced
to go 13 innings to gain a. rte 4 ver-
dict over the Cubs, «while St. Louis
humbled the lowly Phlllies six to

NEW YORK. Juno 17.—The New
York Yankee management has re-
solved to trade. exchange. bartéls or
in, any other way possible clear out
certain un‘desirables who have tried
to make ihe manager a Joke to shield
their own failings as ball players.
r two years there has been fric.
tion on ,the team to some extent. the
result of a feeling on the part of
some of the players that Babe Ruth
was allowed carte blanche in his way
of conducting himself. while others
were maids to walk a straight and
narrow plank.
This spring in Florida. more than
ever before. some of the players
were frankly outspoken against Ruth
They did not’quarrel with him in the
open. but they wanted to‘ know why
he should be lionired. and should be

Ruth did not go very well in St.
Petersburg. He did not do much
batting and the good folks of st. Pc-
tersburg were- not .keen for his Bo-
hemianlsm.“ When he came to bat in

slcally with.the very best of pitch-
ing equipment—ho has been so head-
strong that he has run into more
reefs than harbors.
The club has secured Kocnig of
the St. Paul team. who will surely
displace some infielder in 1926. The
St. Paul man is coming‘elong at a
great clip and the Yanks have been .
fortunate to get him.
The pitching staff will be combed
through and backward. The pitch.
on can't strike their gait. end the
question. iswhether they have reach-
ed their limit. or have struck one of
those seasons which ‘all pitchers
have at times when they seem una-
bletostop batting. no matter what
they try. -
The infield had slowed up appre-
clably. some of the players laid it
to Scott. and talked Scott until he
was finally put on the bench. al-
though hefean play ball fully as well
as hls'crltlcs. It is a question wheth-
cr he was playing ball for the love
of it and with all that he had in
him.
The management gambled one
year too long with the club. but it
was a perfectly natural mistake. in
view of the fact that the Yanks did
so well in 1924. And on top of that
came the collapse of Ruth from over-
lndulgencc‘. whose breakdown was
wholly unexpected. \
Had he been in condition the
Yanks might still have-had their
trouble, although like others “the
team. he may have reached the sen-
iih in baseball and 'be needed with
the majority who walk the other
way.
