JUNE 23,1922. Anthony Downey Is Victor Over Devine in Fort Ring Show Ohio Boxer Earns Decision by Cleverness Kelly and Crouse in Draw. By HEZE CLARK. Anthony Downey of Cincinnati won a Referee's decision over Bob Devine of Chicago in ten rounds at Ft. Benjamin Harrison last night. Downey’s clever ness gave him the better of seven of the ten rounds. The boxing fans, however, never saw a more aggressive fighter than Devine. The cleverness of the Cincinnati boxer was evident in every round, and Devine took a lot of punishment that womld have knocked out a less rugged boxer, it was a real scrap, and after sparring for an opening in the first minute of the opening round, the men mixed it and there was not a slow round in all of the ten. Two of the three other boots ended at the close of the first round. Spike Kelley of Indianapolis and Buck Crouse of Louisville fought an eight-round draw. Kelly, a tall man. showed better than at any time since he started boxing, and his left jabs reached Crouse's face time arid again. Crouse, an aggressive type of fighter with a rugged build, did plenty of leading and hit hard, but Kelly let him all the way. It was a fast scrap. Harry Dempsey of Indianapolis gave away a little too much weight and was stopped by Herb Skaggs of Ft. Harrison, in what was scheduled to be a six round bout. Dempsey was down for the count of eight when the bell rang, hut at the sound of the bell in the sec ond round his seconds tossed in the towel. Two tall scrappers scheduled, to go six rounds met, and Bud Conlin of In dianapolis stopped Battling Manifold of Ft. Harrison. Manifold knocked Conlin down in the first round, but the Indian- Mfriis scrapper landed a right to Mant i!ds wind just before the bell sounded in the first round, and the soldier's sec onds tossed in the sponge. Expert Explains How to Smoke Surplus Catch of Fish to Bring Back Home BY MORRIS ACKERMAN. Did it ever happen to you on a fishing trip that you found yourself with more fish than you could possibly use? If so. wouldn't you have enjoyed those extra fish for “home consumption” in the weeks following your holiday? Perhaps the condition may arise again. If so, why not smoke the surplus and bring them back with you? Here's how; Scale and clean each fish. Cut in small pieces of say four ounces each. Make a salt brine of a consistency to float an egg. Place the fish in this brine and completely submerge. Do not remove fish from pickling brine for at least twelve hours. Remove from pickle and strain through a colander or screen until thoroughly dry. This process usually takes about two hours. While the fish are drying build a round fireplace of stones, Wring an opening about a foot wide for building the fire. Remove both ends of a barrel, a liqu..r barrel If you can get one, and place over the stone fireplace. Place dirt around the stones and bot tom of barrel to make the connection tight. Tack a piece of screen over the top so that it will sag down in the barrel eight or ten inchctc Place the pieces of fish in a single laver on the screen. Corer the barrel with cardboard wood or tin. This keeps in the heat.’ Build a small slow fire of hardwood and cook for two hours. This should bring the fish to a nice crisp brown, causing the grease from the fish to drip through into the fire. The fire can then be smothered with dampened pine noedles and cones. The smoking process can be completed in three hours, a peck or two of needles will suffice for ' “COOLNESS WITH < y ! ™* m ' HERE is no substitute for TAILORING in summer clothing!

Yankee Pitchers Disappointment of Late Pitching will decide the American League championship. The winning of pennants usually hinges on pitching. The 1922 campaign in the American League does not promise to be an ex ception. On paper New York certainly has the pitching. The Yankees' pitching staff stands out when compared with any other club in the league. It, would be a difficult matter to select a better balanced staff than Mays, Bus; I }' Jones, Hoyt and Shawkey. That quintet comprises the New York regu lars. On form New York appears to have a decided edge in pitching. How ever, the Yankees’ staff so far has not proved as formidable as it appears. It was feared that the loss of Meusel and Ruth would make tte going rather hard for the Yankees during the first six weeks of the race. Those fears were groundless. The players who understudied for the two stars delivered in a most convincing manner. The pitching staff assisted ma terially in carrying the Yankee burden. With the return of Ruth and Meusel, the pitching slumped. The rather erratic work of the Yankees during the past month can largely be traced to a falling off in the effectiveness of the twirlers. Os the regulars the work of Sam Jones has been disappointing. I consider Sam Jones one of the best pitchers in the game. He has the stuff and knows how to pitch. When he was traded to the Yankees I dieted he would surely win twenty ball games and probably twenty-fire would be closer to the correct figure. In a majority of his last seven or eight starts Jones has been troubled with a bad inning, that usually resulted in his defeat. The constant recur rence of this bad inning has no doubt for the time robbed Sam of some of his confidence. Tho fuilnre of Jones to win consistently has hart. However, he is such a great pitcher that he should hit his stride any day and fulfill my prophecy. -I* -I- -I- -I- -I- -I- With Pitching Browns Are Hard to Beat Waite Hoyt and Joe Bush have been the most effective. Dame Fortune has not smiled very kindly on either Mays or Shawkey of late. The breaks have been against them. New York unquestionably has the punch and should get the pitching. If these things happen there is liable to be another world series in New York. St. Louis is a dangerous contender. The Browns are going to lie trouble some ail the way. (live Kohl’s team pitching and it is a tough club to beat. If Fohi's two left-handers, Pruitt and Danforth, can keep on winning look out for those Browns. Cleveland appears to have faded. In doping the chances of tho Indians before the season opened I laid stress on the fact that the pitching must be greatly improved over last year, and that Speaker must be able to play regu larly. A bad knee was giving him trouble in the spring. Speaker is the dynamo of the club. He has already been out of the game nearly a month and the season Is only a third over. Mails and Bagby have failed to come through. Asa result Cleveland is not proving very trouble some. Washington and Detroit are dangerous. A bad start, duo to lack of con sistent pitching, has handicapped the Nationals. Detroit has showed a great offense. On the first Eastern trip It played remarkable baseball. However, the club has lacked eonsistentency. probably due to lack of experience In certain quarters. At home they are Just making a great stand. . ... . , Th Tigers are very liable to be the dark horse of the American League ra e j t j s hardiv probable on present form that the world series will he fea tured by either Philadelphia, Boston or Chicago of the American League. the smoking. By letting the fish lay over nigtit in the pickle you can see l*y tho above schedule that you can save the surplus by a morning's effort. The experiment, results considered, is surely worth while. A.
