New Tork. Sept. II. While the
New Tork GUnts are hanging by the
tipa of their fingers to a scant leart
In the National league, the New
Tork Tankees are driving. frantically
on th heels of Blanley Harris'
Wainlngton Senators to overcome
the narrow margin that separates
them from first place.
The race In each league is nar
rowed down to a twosome instead of
a threesome, the western teams
stowly fading out of the pennant pic
ture. While Detroit must still .be
considered in the running in the.
younger circuit due to the "breaks"
in the schedule which favor it, the
chinces are looking more favorable
every day for the American league
pennant to fly over the banks of the
Harlem or the Potomac.
Pittsburgh is also slowly emulat-'
lag a setting sun. The Giants yes
terday spent an Idle day while
Brooklyn, continuing its relentless
spurt to overtake the McGraw ath
letes, won over the Phillies and drew
up to within speaking distance of the
pinnacle. The Phillies, however,
ras.de Uncle Robbie know there was
a baseball game in progress as the
Robins were forced to stay 11 in-
Inn to win the decision, 8 to 7
The Tanks gained yesterday by
winning a pair from Boston, 4 and
3 and 8 and 3. while both Washing
ton and Detroit sank their putts in
the victory cup, the Senators trounc
Ins the Athletics, 7 to 4, while the
Tigers nosed out Chicago, 5 to 4
an overtime session.
Cleveland, tugging desperately to
squeeze Into the first division ahead
of George Sisler's Browns, gave the
St. Louis team a double trimming,
1 to 1 and 10 to 6. Frankie El-
lrbe' circuit slap in the ninth in
ning with the bases saturated aiding
in hrinetne about a decision in the
onener.
But the real race in the American
league starts tomorrow when the
Yankees and Senators open up in
th west. It will be a tough grind
for the two contenders and the one
which can stand the strain the net'

Tho Australians admittedly are a
strong team, but. the experts point
ed to the winning record of Tilden

improbable If not Impossible, In the
opinion of experts.

SAW WILLS WHIP FIRPO
Among the local fight fans who
were In attendance at the Wllls
Firpo bout in Jersey City last night
were John J. Wals- 'ohn C.
O'Brien, John J. ' v James
Welch, D. J. Donah s Mc-
Avay, Joseph Call illlam
Kenney and Bernard j.
ring's Junglemen. '
This waij the conviction tnai ciose
to SO.opo spectators carried away
with them last night after Harry
Vllls battered, and beaten Luis
Angel Firpo into complete suqmis
slon, in a 12-round bout that sur
prised the entire gathering by going
the Umit.' .
When the smoke of conflict liad
lifted from Boyle's Thirty lAcres,
scene of many historic ring encoun
ters, Wills stood out as the con
queror by a margin so decisive that
it left np room for debate. t
While F;rpo'a mighty right was
reduced to impotence by a crafty,
shifty defense, the giant negro
knocked the burly Argentine down
for a count of four In the second
round and whipped him thoroughly
in the other eleven with a slashing,
bruising, merciless battery of thruits
to head and body.
Wills won by a one-sided margin
on points. . Ho fought a cool, carefully-planned
battle. In superb
condition and employing all his as
sets of speed and ring skill, the big
negro blocked the most furious of
Firpo's rushes and. at the same time
delivered an attack at close range
that steadily beat down even the
staunch courage and endurance ot
the massive South, American.
jV. year ago, almost to a day, Flrpo
went down in the second round of
the most melodramatic fight of his
tory alter a savage, slugging battle
with Jack Dempsey in which the
finei arts of ring craft wero tossed
to tho winds. Last night, the Ar
gentine went down to defeat before
science and skill.
Firpo's Star Has Sot
Thus this meteoric South Ameri
can, among the most colorful ring:
figures of all time, has failed to sur
vive the test, either with brute force
or skill, and unless his gallant light
ing spirit carries him to an un
expected come-back, Firpo's fistic
star, so far as title hopes are con
cerned, appears -to have set.
Wills, on the other hand, ill
brushing aside his foremost rival,
has stepped back into tlix position
of logicul contender for tlie title
worn by Dempsey. Off tond on he
has held this distinction for the
past three years, i challenging the
tithimlder with patient but un
availing persistence. It is no novel
ty for him and there is now no
chance he cun fulfill his hope of a
battle with the champion for at
