My dated Fmi. Chicago, Aug. 13.—Baseball's great est home run hitter. "Babe" Ruth of the New York Americans, today leads the American league in batting by a narrow squeak in spite of his team’s defeat yesterday by the Detroit Tigers, 5 to 2. Incidentally, despite the defeat the Yankees rounded out the week with such a lead in the American league averages that little less than a mir acle could prevent their pennant vic tory, the experts conceded. Although the New York Nationals also lost, the experts generally agree that their National league rivals have small chance to tear them from the top. So another world series combat looks pretty safe for New York this fall. Ruth, by hammering out a homer, a double and a single, jacked tip his hatting average to .39394. Inasmuch as Harry Hellmann, the Detroit slug ger, was out of the game with a strained tendon. Ruth took the league batting lead away from him. Hell mann's average is .39377. Ruth's home run was his 29th of the season, putting him even with Cy Williams of the Philadelphia Nationals. The New York Giants lost to the St. I.nuis Nationals on the Cardinal field, 5 to 2. It was the closing game of their western trip. The New York ers dropped three out of five to the Cardinals, the only series they lost on the latest Invasion.

Preparation for Title Fight With Lui. Firpo in New York September 14 Work. With Joe Benjamin. By DAMON RUNYON. ' t’nlvcriial Service Staff. Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 13. They now have Jack Dempsey neatly fenced In at Luther’s White Sulphur Springe. Sunday morning DempHey was up bright and early and with Itemy Door, the New Orleans sportsman, and Jack Kearns went out to the McOregor links and played a round of golf. He took his daily swim In the lake and on his return to Luther’s rested for a couple of hours. Later In the afternoon he worked about the grounds in his open air pavilion, punching the heavy bag, shadow boxing and winding up itAth two rounds of real boxing with Joe Benjamin. It is the first boxing the champion has done since his fight with Gibbons, but he made Joe step around at a lively rate. Benjamin’s last boxing was against a young man named Harper in the northwest. Just before the Dempsey-Gibbons fight, and Joe needs a little sharpening up Benjamin has a theory that the only way to make a good showing against the champion Is to start the first day he boxes, open up at a fast clip and get in everything possible before Dempsey gets fully warmed up. At that period, Joe argues, it Is a good scheme to retire. He tried his speed against Jack in the first round today, but Dempsey seemed to have even more “foot," as the racing men would say, than Jose phus. He clipped the young man / couple that made Benjamin bat h » eyes. Kearns held the watch on ti boys. Benjamin, who came here expert ing to work with Dempsey right along, will leave in a few days fur Bos Angeles, where he Is booked to box Phil Salvatore In a four-rounder. He will return east before the Dert.p sey-Firpo fight. Kearns is going to New York to. night ot see Tex Pickard and tran** act other business. Luther’s is taking on a pugilistic aspect. Ike Dorgan. manager of Charley White, the Chicago light weight, arrived last night to spend a day at the place he discovered as a training camp. Years ago D*r gan had Frank Moran trained at Luther's building, the same pavilion that Dempsey is using. Floyd Johnson, the Iowa heavy weight, motored up from New York with Johnny Dempsey, brother of the champion, and Johnny Johnson, his own brother. Floyd expects to spend several da: ■« at White Sulphur, whore he train* i for his fight with Jack McAulJffe, II, and may do some boxing with the champion. ^ Pancho Villa, the flyweight chan plon, has been working at Luther s for some time. It is said Demj . wanted Villa to box with him, but the Filipino is not doing any boxing just at present. Jones-Updike Stable Arrives From Aurora Dr. R. E.

Luis Firpo Will Battle | Charley Weinert Tonight Omaha Fans Believe Philadelphian Has Good Chance Against “Wild Bull of Pampas”—Declare Any Fighter With a Good Left Has Excellent Opportunity to Beat the South American. LIS ANGEL FIRPO. the “Wild Bull of the Pampas." and Charley Weinert. meet in an eight-round bout in Philadelphia tonight. Because Weinert had one of the best left hands in the business, there has been a lot of talk about his chances against Luis. All the chatter will help bring cash customers. Many consider Luis a mark for a clever left. Omahans considered him a target for a left after they had seen the “Wild Buir in action against Homer Smith at the Buffaloes’ ball l«rk two -weeks ago. \ Though he won't be fS until October coming, fff: lUii xia.cc- ,>r! !S liret|v W*H down the scale of pugilistic rankirc. The mere fact he was picked as a "setup'1 for the A • g-ntinian. and by such a wise fellow as Billy" McCainrv. is further pro- f of the fact. t harley s Inst plan for 'big time" money was some months a Madison Square Garden, where he was knocked out in short order by Gere Tunney. After that fight it was generally conceded Charley was through, ile sobbed In his corner in evident realisation of the fact. There was a time, not so many years ago when this handsome heavyweight, well called the "New ark Adonis." appeared of champion ship timber. He had a beautiful physique, a punch in either hand and his rapier left made the experts rave. Even after Jack Dillon had knock ed him out there was still hope for Weinert. He was only 13 then, and had been In the game but a year. He started to come strongly sgain. then ran Into Fred Fulton, and was counted out. Metnert's stock fell in this battle; Fulton's rose And now. well along the pugilistic decline. Weinert has been training hard over in the orange mountains to try and regain pnstige It prob ably is his last chance. Firpo seems to regard thfc talk about danger awaiting liim from Weinert. particularly from Ills lift hand, as Just good publicity. He hae referred to the affair as "a little bout with Weinert." It would be strange If Firpo was worried. If Firpo is made a mark for that left hand, and is unable to knock out Weinert. the paying public will lie well served as regards l.uis’ tight with Jack Dempsey. He certainly, will ha\e no 'nisiness in the ring with the ehami ion. The public, if such a thing occuis, will do well to keep I their money i their bill folds or I pocket*, as the ' - e may be Jess Willard's non, Dft was noth j Ing to sneer at. yet 1 • •• >t past | it and pasted Willard re d > and Into exhaustion He oluhbeo i. » way through "Hill'' Hreiians left for a knockout.
