L 14 America Defeats Japaim Hornets Unable To Score Against Harris Was Wild and Ineffective in Pinches, Especially Against Von Kolnitz Who Drove in All of Pals Runs Except the Final Counter. Charleston, Sept. 3. The Pals, in' blanking the Hornets in their nnai game of the season at the local park today, also won the deciding contest or the series, the score being 5 to 0. The visitors had several chances to score but brilliant fielding and pitching in the pinches turned the Bees-back each time. Von Kolnitz batted in the first four runs of the game and Marshall's double scored the fifth tally. Miller's throw to the plate, nipping Von Kolnitz, Utt's one-hand stab, which he turned into a double play and running catches by Mc Cormack and Bridwell with fast fielding by Clauser featured the contest. Char lotte made only four assists. Brosan fanned nine batters and had perfect control. The game was called at the end of the eighth on account of dark ness. Acting Manager O'Connell delayed the game a few minutes when he was ap proached by Cy Morgan and asked to pay a $10 fine imposed the day lie fore. As he counted out ten one-dollar bills, he told Cy he was sorry that he could not get $10 in pennies. The Bees got two hits in the first inning but. could not scori and the same thing happened in the second, when, with one down. Kirke doubled and stole third, but Higgins and Harris fanned. They got two hits in the sev enth with one down and could net score and two in the eighth and failed to get the timely punch again. Harris fanned six Pals in. the first threei innings and Brogan piled up nine strikeouts, fretting one or more in ev ery inning except the third and eighth. Bridwell walked in the first round, stole second and went to third oin a wild pitch, while McCormack and Felix were counted out. but Vol Kolnitz singled and Bridwell counted. Three consecutive passes with two down in the fifth followed by Von Kol nitz' long single scored two more and two passes and a single by Von Kol nitz in the seventh scored another and a single and Marshall's double counted the fifth tally in the eighth.

CopsTight, 1921, by News Publishing Co. New York, Sept. 3. One of the most interesting books in baseball would be the secret memoirs of several well known managers, who have rejected in their time enough high class baseball talent to replace good intentions as a paving material for Sheoul Highways. Three major clubs wrere advised to go after Adams when Pittsburg took him back, and three wise managers re plied to their scouts, "You are ivory hunters, not ivory specimens." Three affronted scouts, who dared not sever their bread and .butter strands, have frequently wished since then that they might sit down and put on paper with ink just what they think of three smart aleck managers. Even Babe Ruth was passed up and Pittsburg once had Faber and let him drift because he looked like loose snow. Had they retained him, Barney Drey fuss might have had more champion ships than he has. The idea of Speaker imagining that a protest can be won in baseball on an umnire's judgment! Most managers are willing to make affidavit that the umpire has no judgment.. Dan, the compositor, who sets up the baseball scores is type-shy on the Phillies' box. He is so fearful that he will let Bruggy's name go through some mornine: with a dropped letter that the fright of the thing possesses him in his sleep. A game was played in the American League this year in which not one of the outfielders of one team had a put out or an assist. That is the kind of a ball game that the Weary Willies hope to standardize for the Hobo League. ASSISTANT TEAM COACH IS NAMED Herman Steiner Signed to Assist Baldwin and to Coach Track Team. Trinity College, Durham, Sept. 3. As a step to expand the program of athletics and physical traininer as rn. ned out at Trinity College last veur. a whole-time assistant to Mr. Baldwin the new athletic director, has be-n named. He is Herman Steiner. of Syracuse University and the Normal School of Physical Education at Indian apolis. Mr. Steiner will have charge of class athletics and will coach the varsity track squad. The theory of compul sory pnysicai training at Trinity is that it provides physical developmem to co-ordinate with the scholastic work, and incidentally is a feeder lor the varsity sports. Mr. Steiner's work in track will mark the first year fiat Trinity has had a professional track coach.. This departure is in line with the policy of building up track athletics here. The assistant athletic director is too 1 qualified for his work. He was caotain of the freshman football team at Syra cuse. He was captain of the basket ball team at Indianapolis. He has play ed minor league baseball. In track he has had training under "Tom" Kena at Syracuse, "Pat" Page, former track coach at the University of Chicago, and special work in track and t'-ack coaching at the Indianapolis Ni-mal School. Last spring he coached the Butler College track sauad and th Tn. ..dependent Athletic Club of Indian apolis. With a staff composed of James Bi'd win, athletic director; W. W. Card, di rector of Angier Duke ' Gymnasium and Herman Steiner, assistant to Bald win, the coaching and physical train ing at Trinity is better cared for han ever before. SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1921. '9 Bryan Downey Has Margin On Wilson In Monday's Contest BY SPARROW McOANN, tnlV Correspondent of The iev. New York, Sept. 3-ohnny Wilson, of Boston, holder of the middleweight championship title in all POintso' f civpiand. and Bryan Downey, tv0 rinmhns battler, are on edge fierht in Tex Rickard s bie--arena in Jersey City on Labor Day aftprtinnn. but seldom, if ever, has an important championship battle left the roneral Dtiblic so cola. xTo,tv,0 man is resraraea as having Both typo, refkie- any great pretension to class, are pugilists of the slugging Their nrA strnnsrers to those ments of the art of hit, step and get away, which have characterized moat champions. In the day, of the old mid dleweight masters, it is figured that Wilson would never have emerged at all. It -was his good fortune to appear in the fallow years of his class. As for Downey, he is recognized as a combattive, two-handed mixer, lacking riaas as a boxer ana yet suu.if, onnnirh nnd rues-ed enoueh to be a danererous opponent for any of the present crop of middleweights. DOPE FAVORS DOWNEY. Just why so many ring followers think that Wilson will defeat Downey in their forthcoming fight is a ques tion the writer finds it impossible o answer. True the Bostonian holds the title and a title always looms large to thp dnnesters: but when one studies thj records of the two men, it is hard t : see where the champion nas even a razor's edge on the challenger. In having: examined the work of the iaci, wo pugilists, the writer is willing to haz ard the" opinion that Wilson on Labor Day will face the fight of his life. Downey may not knock him out he has established no reputation as s sleep-producer but the chances that he will be battling all the way through the fight' look to be good. A close study of the dope even granting 'tht the Ohioan has not been making a great impression in his training bout? would make it appear that Downey FOWLKES TURNS SPARTANS BACK Brilliant Victory Went to Augusta Through His Good Twirling.

THREE CLASS FIGHTER. Downey began his career as a light weight and has fought through three classes. Twice he has knocked out Jack Terry, of Pittsburg, a real fight er. He has won decisions over Jock Malone, Tommy Robson, Steven Latzo, Joe. Chip and a lot of other rugged scrappers. He has also fought Johnny Griffith, Ted Lewis, Soldier j Bartfield and Au ie Ratner, to name a rew classy opponents, in live mcenuso with Jack Britton, the welter chara- pion gained but one decision, the otner encounters being regarded as stand offs. Jock Malone gained a decision over Downey and these two setbacks are all that the Ohio boy has sustain ed. He has never been knocked ouc. So much for the dope. Now for tho hunch. The Mathews farm at Manhas sett, where Wilson has trained, has yet to send forth a winner. Carpentier, Journee, Ledoux and Italian Joe Gans have all set forth from Manhasset anl gone down to defeat. BOTH FIGHTERS ARE CONFIDENT Wilson and Downey Expect to Score a Knockout in Labor Day Bout. New York, Sept. 3. Bryan Downey and Johnny Wilson finished training to day for their middleweight champion ship bout at Jersey City Labor Day afternoon. Both boxers have worked hard for the return match and both are in con dition to put up a rattling fht. The articles call for 160 pounds at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Downey can make this weight without trouble but Wilson had to work faithfully to get down to it. Along with the condition, the rival fighters have confidence. Downey pre dicts that he will finish Wilson with a knockout and he must . win via the Kayo rule if he hopes to lift the Tex Rickard belt, which is now held by the Boston battler. "I'm going to give Wilson a .beating he'll remember," said Downey today. 'I got a raw deal in our lastj fight but this time Johnny won't have his own referee. I'm in great shape and sure of winning." Wilson is just as cocky as the CI eve lander. "If Downey thinks I'm a mark for him, he will.be sadly disillusioned Mon day," said Wilson this afternoon. "I'm going into that ring to settle that little Cleveland dispute for all time and, when I get through with Downey, he'll know he's been in a battle. I expect to win by a knockout." Jack Dempsey will be among those at the ringside when Wilson and Downey meet and Promoter Tex Rickard ex pects a gate of $200,000. In the preliminary bouts, Janama Joe Gans will meet Mike McTigue. Johnny Buff will defend his flyweight title against Indian Russel, Dick Griffin will take on Matty Herbert and Wee Wee spencer win meet Solly Friedman, main event will be refereed by Savage.
