rum iimiifn m ha even nmmtn 5AT5 LAY-OFF BENEFICIAL RttJMY Mm m nny wkilll I I1U1 I U UUA i'. , MICHIGAN CITY, Ind.. Aug. 3. - After having layed off fighting for a period of time Ever Hammer hinks that he is much better off thaa If he had kept on hammering away in an effort to reach the top. He does not believe in the old saying that a boxer can't come back, but says that he Is better than he -was before he quit. "In my own case, a short leave of aDsence from the ring worked wonders with me," he said. "In 1918 I had reached a point where it wasn't a pleasure to train. It was getting my goat as they put it. Now, I don't think a fellow can succeed at anything he doesn't enjoy. So I hung up the gloves and forgot them. I fired on the railroad. I milked cows.' I cooked in i.os Angeies. "When I started my comeback I had made up my mind that if I didn't feel keen about it I'd stay out for good. My first match was with Arlos Fann ing. I licked him. It pleased me. I got a genuine kick out of boxing, the same ,as I had when I began back in the gas house district in Chicago. "I have had 14 boutsNeince then all of them victories. By being able to tip over such boys as Richie Mitchell and Charlie White, I feel I'm a 'come back' who has really upset the dope. "As you know, I've boxed both Leon ard and Tendler, but that was before my comeback. I boxed Leonird in Kansas City in October, 1916, before Ben won the title from Welsh the next May. It was a pretty mixy match. He knocked me down in the twelfth round but I wasn't hurt. I would hav been on my feet right away, but my manag er, Kid Howard, thought I was wrecked for good and jumped into the ring. That disqualified me and Leonard won a technical knockout. MICHIGAN CITY, Aug. 3. Because of the danger of reopening the cut over his right eye, received in the match with Lew Tendler, Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, will do no box ,ing in preparation for his ten-round contest with Ever Hammer, the Chi cago challenger, here next Saturday afternoon. This was the announcement of Billy Cibson, manager of the Champion, to day after he examined the injury. The most dangerous wound is in the eyebrow, it is similar to the one Jack Dempsey received when he was train ing for his match with Georges Carpen tier a year ago. The other cut is in the lid. This la nparlv Titaler1 As Leonard rest3 here on the front porcn or nis cottage on the' shore of J-aice Micnigan, he is planning ahead for an extended trip to Europe to show his class in foreign rings before he de cides to lay aside the gloves and re tire. Benny's mother and sister keep right at his elbow and they talk over plans for the trip abroad, for they are going along., it is as much for his mother and sister as for himself, that the champion will make the tour. The champion's camp is one of the liveliest on the beach. The phono, graph grinds jazz from morning until night and is locked np only-while Benny sleeps at night or when he nans in the afternoon. Leonard love3 to dance and his mother, and sister are his partners most of the time. Both Hammer and Leonard will vir tually wind up their training tomorrow. THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., THURSDAY, AUG. 3, 1922. McGRAW VETERAN OFF ON BATTING RAMPAGE AGAIN MORTON GOMES BACK FOR SPEAKER'S TEAM Guy Morton is the Alabama blossom who used to kill squirrels with stones before he- joined the big show. In the Indians' present rampage this hurler, over one span of "46 innings, allowed only 11 runs and 30 hits, a low percentage in these clouting days, And from a hurler who, for three or four seasons, has been near the end because of his inability to get going, this showing is all the more remark able. Morton's return to his old time form and above it was not performed in a day. Three years ago Morton ap peared done. Not only did he fail to pitch winning ball but his terrible fielding and slow thinking also handi capped him. Lee Fohl, the man who brought him to the big leagues, de spaired of making Morton a depend able pitcher. When Tris Speaker became man ager he labored long with Morton, at first without any results. Guy's case seemed hopeless. Then Morton him self took a hand. Realizing for the first time that time was slipping and tbat he was wasting brilliant oppor tunities, Morton took his case serious ly. He added to Speaker's efforts to correct his fielding faults a desire to work. He labored hours a day field ing from the box and from every in field position during practice. This sprjng he paid little attention to ac tual pitching. It probably was well. The weather was too cold for real benefit anyhow. Morton Gets Going. While the weather remained cold Morton failed to get going. Then came . the eastern trip into boiling weather, and he started in. Guy was born in Vernon, Ala.. June 1, 1S93. Starting with the Colunibu3, Ga , team in the Cotton States league, in 1913, he drew instant attention be cause of his marvelous control and -speed. The Cleveland club signed him and farmed him to Waterbury, Conn., in the Eastern association, then directed by Lee Fohl. Cleveland re called him late in 1914 and he has been with that outfit ever since. ' His two best years were in 1916 and 191S. He won 13 and lost six the former year and won 14 and lost eight the latter. The year the Indians won the pennant, he won eight and lost six games. Last year he won as many games and lost but three. This year he ought to turn in a much bet ter average. ' - ' r-: X.-.ttf .'- -x. - v ' V v A A $&p : YANKEES TAKE SPURT; BATTERS GO OH SPREE NEW YORK, Aug. 3. The" Yankees by taking the measure of Speaker's Indians, 5 to 1, while the Browns were losing a home run hitting tilt to the Athletics, 8 to 4, have moved to within a game of the league-leading St. Louisans. Kenneth Williams, of the Browns, with his sixth circuit blow in as many days, increased his season total to 28, and now is leading the home run hit ters of both major leagues. Hornsby, of the Cardinals, previously led with 27. Hauser, McGowan and Miller, of the Mackmen, accounted for four base hits in the. same game. The Yankee's victory over Cleveland was marked by the hurling of "Bullet Joe" Push, who held the Speakentes to two hits, and a single by Jamieson in the fh-st frame, and the other triple by Wamby in" the ninth. Warn- by was brought home by Speakers sacrifice fly for the only Indian score. Meusel and Ruth had a batting frolic, the former accounting for a homer and a single, and Ruth two two-baggers and a single. Walter Johnson proved as usual, too great an enigma for the White Sox, and the Senators won, 4 to 1. The only national league contest, between the Cub3 and the Phillies, went 15 innings to a 7 to 7 tie, and then was called because of the condi tion of the diamond. ' Casey Stengel. Way back in the sticks cf Mud ville, we are told, Casey struck out. But Mudville's famous whiffer was no relation to New York's Casey. Stengel is the last part of hi': name. The veteran, who was sup posed to "be all in," is banging the ball with much gusto for McGraw'a pennant chasers. How They Stand Clubs New York St. Louis Chicago . Cincinnati National League.
