YANKEES AND BOSTON SPLIT DOUBLE BILL New York, ' May 21.--The Yankees aplit even with the Boston Red Sos ta « double-header today, legiaz the first game by an 8 to 4 estore and winning the second 3 to 2. Heme rons played a big paet in both games, providing the margin of victory eagh time. Phil Todt - and Johaony Regan won the first game for Boston, each getting a homer with two men on base. and Regan's came in the seventh, with Moore in the box. Bon Meusel did the same thing for the Yankees in the sixth iun- ing of the second game when the Red Sox had a 2to 0 lead. Combs' and Taitt also got homers. In both games the losing team made the greater number of hits. The Yankees got nine to. Boston's six in the first, while the Red Sox reversed the decision eight to four in the second... ROCHESTER 1 18 TO 2 DEFEAT . LEAFS Rochester, May 21.--The Leafs' bats weré strangely silent here this afternoon as the Rochester Red Wings batsmen fattened their hit- ting averages at the expense of Jess Doyle and Lefty William Mar. tin, The Red Wings crashed opt twenty-three hits of all denomina- tions for an 18--2 victory and an evenhreak in the four game series, Charlie Gelbert, Rochester short- stop, with a home run which tied Alexander's circuit wallop mark at nine, and a double had an import- ant part in the pastime. Johnny Mokan had four safe blows, and drove in six runs, and Ira Smith had five, while every member of the team came through with one or more hits, with the exception of |. Pitcher Decatur, Billy Kelley was robbed of a third hit in the game by Fred Be- dore, vouthful third baseman of the visitors, who hurt his hand on the play and had to make way for Captain Billy Webb. "Bedore made two of the Leafs' scattered nine hits before he was forced to drop out of the pastime, and Alexander, league leader, also clouted two, al- though neither one was anything like the resounding blows he poled out in the other days. Alexander made nine hits in seventeen trips to the plate during the series for a mark over .500. Many a henpecked husband enjoys # meal made up of scraps.--Glasgow Herald.

ATHLETICS WIN TWO FROM WASHINGTON Philadelphia, NM May 21.--The Athetics won a double-header from Washington here today and gain- éd a full game on the New York Yankies, but lost the services of Tris Speaker and Bing Miller, tne outfield stars, for an _indefinite period. Jack Quinn delivered the winn- ing blow in the thirteenth inning of the first game to win his fifth contest in succession by a score of 4 to 3. In the second game Rube Walberg registered his sixth straight win by nosing out Irving Hadley by a score of 2 to 1. Tris Speaker and Bing Miller were shaken up and bruised in the sixth inning of the first game, when they collided going after Reeves' drive to left centre. Speaker was knocked out for a few moments and was injured in the right arm, as well as suffering a gash in his left leg. Bing Miller came out of the mishap with a badly bruised thigh. The Mackmen only made three hits off Hadey in the second game, but one, was a home run by Jim- my Dykes in the first inning, and Hauser's stealing' ' of second and French's double gave them another tally in the fourth. Washington averted a shut-out in' the ninth when Goslin batted for Hadley, walked, moved ta third on an infield out and a single, and registered on a sacrifice fly. Jimmy Foxx hit a home run in the first game, * Mandel's Win . Over McLarnin * [ 3) is Decisive Polo Grounds, New York, May 21.--Seeking the end of the light- weight rainbow, fighting Jimmy McLarnin chased a fleeting, dark- haired shadow in vain tonight and Sammy Mandell is still 135-pound champion of the world, In 15 slash- ing, bristling rounds, Mandell, a jabbing, elusive jumping jack, re- pulsed the challenge of the voung Irish-Canadian in decisive fashion with one of the greatest exhibitions of boxing skill the lightweight class has seen since Benny Leonard was in his prime, Mandell's victory over the Van- couver challenger was as startling as it was convincing. Off to a hur- ricane start, the champion had Me- Larnin dizzy and bewildered with a fast, furious and varied attack, From start to finish, Sammy piled up a margin on points that never was threatened in spite of MclLay- nin's most courageous ra:lies, McLarnin found out to his an- noyance and sorrow that a chin that can't be reached can't be cracked, Not once during the en- tire 15 rounds was Jimmy ahle to reach Sammy's jaw with any of the two-fisted dynamite that had car- ried him to the top of the challeng- ing heap in the lightweight brigade, Seldom, for that matter, was Mec- Larnin ever able to penetrate Man- dell's jumping jack defence or pin the champion to one spot long enough to swing for a lew solid punches, ! They looked like two hizh school youths at the start, Jimmy, chunky and baby-faced, Sammy, dark, sleek-haired and-more sophisticated But at the finish McLarnin was » sorry sight, His left eye, that had started to swell (rom the fifth round on, was shut Light. Blood streamed from his nose, He was a badly battered and disillusioned youth, the victim of greater ex- perience, speed and a baffling left jab wielded by Mandell, who was still the sleek-haired champion at the finish, smiling and unmarked, except for the blotches agound his ribs and waistline that testified to McLarnin's vicious body attack. The decision of the two judges and Referee Lou Magnolia in the champion's favor was unanimous. On the Associated Press score-sheet Mandell was credited with the de- cisive margin of nine rounds, with three awarded to McLarnin and three others scored as even. It was Mandell's first fight in New York since he won the title nearly two years ago from the aging Rocky Kansas In Chicago, His first title bout of any consequ- ence since then and one of the best exhibitions of his career, The champion put up a smart, well-planned and well-executed ex- hibition against one of the most gallant and hardest hitting light- weights the ring has produced in years. He won because he out- boxed, outgeneralled and outfooted the challenger all the way. Mandell could not stop McLarnin's pugnaci- ous rushes. He couldn't discourage Fighting Jimmy, but he took est of the sting out of the Irish lad attack. Mandell Always Packing Mandell's clinching, wrestling and jabbing tactics drew booes from the crowd at times, but they were nevertheless effective. Sammy picked Jimmy's most vicious swings out of the air or ducked as they swept harmlessly by. Sammy never forgot to duck. He might not have remained champion if he had, for Jimmy swung often and earnestly. McLarnin simply couldn't solve the champion's defence. The way Sam- my held Jimmy off with that tanta- lizing left. became so monotonous as the fight wore on that the crowd, which had come chiefly to cheer the challenger's title bid, was forced 40 laugh. McLarnin faced the fight im al- most every round. He was always chasing that black-haired shadow that flited hither and yon, seem- ingly always just out of reach or too elusive to pin dowm to any one spot. Jimmy fired both hands to the body coptinually. He had Sammy SPOR?

The Senior Ball team practically held the fort to themselves, the Yannigans and regulars in- 1f enthusiasm is any criterion we will pick the courageous base runners who ruined perfectly good trousers two-pant suits are inclined to make on the run many a time, but he couldn't put over the big wallop, or even stagger his foe, At three separate four-round in- tervals, McLarnin started rallies that seemed slated to turn the tide. hese spurts came in the fifth, ninth and thirteenth rounds, But none of them lasted more than u round and a half, Mandell was in too complete command of the figat, too much the fastep of defence and of the hit and run game, to be caught in any trap, Sammy checked these charges of Jimmy's before they had progressed far enough wo do any serious damage, He did it so effectively "with that left jab that even Jimmy looked and ug- doubtedly felt foolish, Loser Always Attacking Maundell's left beat a tattoo on Jimmy's left eye from the start, it was puffy in the fifth, only a sliL by the tenth and completely closed during the last three rounds, Mc- Larnin's nose spurted blood from the seventh on. But he kept plung- ing forward, gamely flailing away at the shadow. ' McLarnin's gallant attempts to turn an frresisfible tide in the last few rounds werc as came and grit- ty as any ring has witnessed in some time. But courage alone 'ouldn't stop the Shadow, Jimmy threw caution to the winds in a wild attempt to score a knockout in the fourteenth and fifteenth rounds, but he wasn't even able io shake the champion, Mandell fia- ished as strong as he started and BUFFALO DEFEATS MONTREAL 4 TO 3 Buffalo, May 21.--The Bisons won a stirring eleven-inning duel from the Montrea Royals today, 4 to 3, to register a clean sweep on the three-game series, It was the first time this year the Bisons were able to cop three wins in a row, The Royals broke a two-all dead- lock which existed from the fifth inning by scoring a run in the 11, on consecutive singles by Shannon, Holt and Gulley, The Bisons kicked back In their half to score two runs with one out, Malone walked and Barnes sent him home with a long double, going to 'third himsef on Stryker's infield out, Archdeacon and Mona- han were purposely passed, filling the bases, and Moore promptly won the game with a single to right.

Of this amount cigarets contributed $228,527,000, The Government used to get even more money from bréwers and dis tillers. Now the bootleggers get more than a thousand millions an- nually, more than held his own in a few, free punching exchanges, Mandell's endurance, in spite of the strenuous time he had making the weight twice within four days was one of the most remarkable features of the champion's show- ing. The wiry titleholder looked drawn and pale by comparison with pink-cheeked Jimmy as they sat in opposite corners, but he yielded nothing in stamina during the fight. Both just made the weight limit of 135 pounds. Due to the three postponeme@nts necessitated by the weather, the fight was a financial flop for Tex Rickard. The crowd, ,so small it seemed Jost in the big ball yard, was estimated at about 25,000, with the gate receipts amounting to less than $150,000. REGENT NOW PLAYING JOHN BARRYMORE and DOLORES .

Team Continue Hard Work For Opene The manner in which Oshawa's hopes in the Central Ontario Ball League's Senior series delved in- to their work at Alexandra Park last night was a revelation to the fans who attended. Schultz, Burgoyne, Luke, et al, had their performers working in close harmony with pleasing re- sults. No one can accuse the hard working executives of failing to give everyone a chance. Two teams went through their paces for the official "weeder's" in- spection but the conclusions ar- rived at will remain a secret un- til tomorrow at least, Schaffer and Elliott formed the battyry on one team and were opposkd by Matthews and. Kohen, Schaffer, who is a product of Cobourg, took things fairly easy, apparently tak- ing pity on some of the players who have not been in the bat- ters' box long enough to get used to the breaks of the horse-hide. Matthews on the other hand breezed them in with rare aban- don and Kohen found difficulty in holding him up. Matthew's "Johnstonian" efforts soon disclos- ed those who have a_ tendency to keep one foot in the water pail. Elliott, on the receiving end of Schaffer's slants, displayed a nice style and was pegging the apple to second base on a dead line. Grouped around the Schaffer-El- liott combination was Keller at the initial sack, who was with the intermediates last season, Sutton, at second, who played for Chevro- lets in Flint Michigan, in 1927, Tommy Morrison, at short also of last year's team, and Gord Young of oMtors Juniors covering the red-hot corner, / Fair and Jones did Garden dut the first two being Intermedia players from last year and Jo coming up from the Juniors, The opposition, batteryed bs Matthews and Kohen, had Cook first, Penu at second, McAllum short and Shelénkoff at The latter is a Junior and Bb : likely to go up this year Pen is a stand-by from the Intermed ates.

Allen's Gen- eral Diskin, one that performed during the Winter at Tijuana, was third, What made the Tenny Handicap 20 for the best race of the day was that back of Indian Love Call ther were such notables as Chance Shot Sarmaticus, Groucher, Nusakan and Finite, Probably the heavy . going ha something to do with the result Indian Love Call's victory was complete surprise, THE WORLD'S FIRST PIANO (Way of the World, in Daily Herald) The bi-centenary of Brinsmead recalls the invention of the piano, the credit of which is claimed for number of folk of different nation ities.
