Eddie Allen, the southpaw lad, who does most of the twirling for the league lenders has won six games thus far this season and allowed Ills opponents but 22 safe blows and 15 runs in tile sextet of wins. Out of the 15 runs but nine of them were earned, according to the statistics. Allen, besides being a hurler of note, is also one of tile best hitters in the Metropolitan league. I«ist season while hurling for the Murphys, lie pitched 12 games and lost but two, al lowing liis opponents 47 safe blows and 25 runs. Out of the 25 runs scored off his delivery last season but 13 of them were earned. For the last two eeasons Allen has pitched In 18 games, losing but two games for a pitching average of .875. Six runs In one game Is the most that his opponents have scored, while three earned runs in one contest is the largest total made off the Mur phys hurler in a single contest. The average runs per inning allowed by Allen is 1.4, while the average hits garnered off him is five per nine In nings. The showing made by the Murphys star heaver in the past two seasons classes him as the leading pitcher In amateur ranks. Frank Htavnlak, second sacker for the league leaders is the gent who places Mahoney’s men in a position to score hi their ninth inning rallies when he delivers the hit that ad vances tile runner and makes It pos sible for tile autoiuen to score the neeessary runs to win. The Murphys ought to change their name to the WhlteyDidlt* after their star utility player ‘‘Whltey’* Freitag who has, on two successive .Sundays, pole<l out safe blows which scored runs enough to turn in wins in ninth Inning rallies over the Wood men and the Knights of Columbus. This season is Freltag’s first year In tile Metro loop and he has more than come up to the expectations of Mana ger "Ike'' Mahoney. amateur nmvtmr METROrOMTA N lEAGl'K. Team MiimJIrg*. \V. I. P«*t.

HE latest foreign boxing Importa tion to display his wares before a critical American audience, is Er m 1Spalla, IPtfys chief entry In the heavy w eight division of p u g 111 a m. This bronze ski n n e cl Athlete, w h o j stayed 14 rounds with I.uis Angel Firpo and claimed he would have won when he floored the Argentine hulk, except for the long count, will make hie initial start since he landed in the United States when he is tossed into the ring with Gene Tunney, American light heavyweight champion. In one of the feature liattleg of the milk fund show in New York Thursday night. In the other two main bouts on the same program Harry Greb, middle weight chief, W'lll meet Ted Aloore of England and Young Strlbting, the Georgia sensation, will clash with Paul Bcrlenbach, Brooklyn’s knock out king. Of the many foreigners who have invaded these shores this year with championship aspirations, Spalla Is the only one who has been given credit for showing enough class in Gaining to he considered a dangerous for a good American boxer. There are critics who fear that Tunney has taken on a very serious argument. Fortunately, for the former army box er, the Italian is a little above the weight limit of the light heavyweight division, so Tunne.v’s title will ie safe even If he finishes second. Gives Firpo Hard Fight. Spallas chief claim to distinction is the manner in which he fought Firpo not many months ago down in Buenos Aires. The Italian had de feated e\ery fighter he had met In Europe ami was booked in New York when he suddenly decided to go to South America. He was considered a setup, but he registered the em prise of Firpo’s boxing career by staying 11 rounds. In the third he floored Firpo and claims the referee gave the ”wdld bull” a long count, enabling him to regain his feet when he should have been counted out Whether there is any foundation for this claim Is not known here, but It la a -fact that Spalla gave Buis a terrific battle and proved that he is dangerous fighter. The Italian is said to possess a punch that will floor any heavyweight If It lands in the proper location The fset that he sent Firpo sprawling to the resined can fas is proof enough of this statement. He is not very clever, hut Is tough or he rould not stand up under the clubbing of the Argentine mauler for 11 si saions Firpo finally wore him down, but he did not put him out with anv one punch, although he landed with all of his force on many occasions, Tunney Roily Puncher. Tunney has little to gain and much prestige to lose In this encounter, lb- Is i clever, hardhitting tighter with plenty of experience If he beats Spalla critics will merely claim he whipped another European false alarm. But if he loses It will be a serious setback, while Spalla will im mediately be placed in the class with Firpo, Wills and one or two more as challengers for the title held by Jack Dempsey. Tunney is a great body puncher end Spalla has never met a man of his class. Thus the chances of Tunney winning reet entirely with the ability of the Italian to etand that sort of punlahment. Tunney has defeated Harry Greb twice on points and would be light heavyweight champion today If he could have Induced Mike McTIgue to meet him.

The very busy Harry Greb Is going to try to dispose of another English middleweight on the same program. He meets Ted Moore for 15 rounds. Moore is one of two good English mlddleweightg who have come to this country this year in quest of the championship of the world. The other is Frank Moody, who electrified the boxing world when he knocked out Lou Bogaish a short time ago. Moody looked like the best bet England had to offer until he met Greb last Monday night and was knocked nut In six rounds. Now Moore remains the last of the invaders who seeks to knock Greb out from under his crown. Likely he has no more chance than Moody. Like other English fighters, Moore Is not very tough and he will have to take a lot of punishment in this battle. Greb is too tough, too fast and too game for fighters of that type. Moore has finished second in a couple of fights In this country with boxers not as good as Greb.

Wills gambled something like half a million dol lars In future purses on his chances of knocking out the man nobody else has been able to knock out. At the end of the 15th round Madden was still hanging around, his face a mass of blood from cute over each eye, front a split upper lip end a lacerated right ear, his legs wobbly and weak and his head ringing, but still on his feet, as he had been all through the combat. Wills got the decision. There was not the slightest .doubt that Harry won. Nevertheless, the contest con stituted a moral victory for the Irish man. Nobody had conceded him a chance to win, and only a very few had figured that he would be on bis feet at the end. Among the spectators who peered at the proceedings was Tex Rickard. None peered more intently. Tex s face was a study as round after round rolled into ring history with no sign of a knockout.
