» With Needed Runs
Byron Speece Adds Another
Victory to His List When
Herd Beat Boosters,
7 to 6.
By RALPH WAGNER.
MAH A jerked another
game out of the
tire yesterday aft
ernoon when it
trimmed the Des
Moines Boosters in
the second game of
the series before a
large Sunday
crowd by the score
of 7 to 6.
“Tex" McDon
ald, Buffalo guar
dian of the hot cor
ner, is partly re
sponsible for the
herd's victory.
“Tex" went hit
less for eight in
nings, but in the ninth round, with
the score all knotted up, 6 to 6, and
Jimmy Wilcox camping on second, he
•slammed out a triple to center.
Benin, the speedy little Booster fly
chaser, sort of misjudged the fly and
the hit went for a triple, scoring Wil
cox with the winning run of the
game.
Yesterday's Sabbath contest was
just one of those plain, ordinary ball
games. Speece was on the mound
for the herd and "Slippery" Jones
went to the hill for the visitors. Both
were clouted hard, but where Speece
it over Jones was in his ability to
keep the Boosters' hits scattered.
Each coughed up 14 hits, but Omaha's
14 blngles Include two triples, four
doubles and a homer, while the
Iowan's 14 clouts represent two dou
bles and an even dozen singles.
Speece Fulls Through.
Speece, advertised throughout \he
YVestern league as the hurling ace of
the Buffaloes, was on the verge of
being sent to the showers on two dif
ferent occasions. In the seventh in
ning the Boosters went on a young
hatting spree and for a time it looked
like Mr. Speece would be labeled for
the showers, but.he weathered the
storm and managed to come out of
_Jhe rumpus with his sixth win out of
nine games he has hurled for the
herd.
Ttie Buffalo pitcher batted .750 for
flic afternoon, connecting with the
pellet for singles three out of four
times to the plate. He clouted out
singles in the third, fifth and sev
enth innings. In the eighth, Jones
purposely walked Hale to get at
Speece, but the best Byren could do
Was to hit Into a double killing,
which retired the side and ruined his
chance for a perfect day at the plate, j
Jones hurled a pretty good game.
He walked two Buffaloes and struck
out three, the same as Speece. Er
_rors on the part of the herd In the
l-*»arly innings helped Jones considera
ble, He was given good support and
this also helped his teammates hold
down the hitting Buffaloes.
Defate ficts Homer.
Batting honors of the afternoon and
the series, for th;yt matter, belong to
"Tony" Defate, Omaha shortstop.
“Tony" had a good day yesterday,
collecting a triple his first time to bat,
a home run on his second trip and
a single the third S e up. The
fourth time, however, Defate struck
out. His triple didn't score anyone,
neither did his homer in the fourth,
but his single In the sixth boosted
Wilcdx across the pan.
Des Moines scored one in the first
Inning and the Buffaloes tied it up in i
their half. In the third a fielder's I
choice and Horan's single scored
t'orriden and the Boosters took the
lead, only to have Defate's homer in
the fourth knot the topnt. Bach
scored a run In the fifth.
In the sixth the Buffaloes started
one of their sluggin^^attaoks and
chalked up three runs on an error, !
sacrifice, two singles, sacrifice and
another single. With the score 6 to
ii against them, the Boosters chalked
up two runs In the seventh and then
tied up the score in the eighth when
•Tones singled and scored after sin
glcs by Corrlden and MeLarry.
Kin,il tisine Today.
The fails had settled down in their
six-bit seats to witness an extra in
ning or two of baseball when the
herd came to bat In the ninth.
O'Connor skied out and thpn Wilcox
let go his double to center, which was
followed by McDonald's triple that
scored Jimmy from second with the
winning run.
The final game of the series will lie
played this afternoon.

YORK. May 13.—
The greatest
fight crowd ever
assembled In New
York packed it
self Into the
Yankee stadium
Saturday to
I see five pairs of
| heavyweights bat
tie for the bene
fit of New York's
* milk fund, ami
incidentally for
the ascendency of their pugilistic
stare.
The milk fund came out of the
; melee nearly $300,000 ahead. The
pugilists who derived the greatest
benefit were Jess Willard, former
world's champion, who started his sec
ond crop of title aspirations with a
techinlcal knockout of Floyd Johnson
I in the 11th round, and Luis Angel
1 Firpo, the Argentinean giant, who
| climbed a notch nearer a match w ith
Jack Dempsey’ by stretching Jack Mo
AUliffe, II, on the canvas for the
fatal count In the third round.
Tex Rickard, who promoted the all
star card of five bouts, announced to
night the total paid attendance was
approximately 63,000, and the gate
receipts $390,000. Including proud
holder* of complimentary tickets,
newspaper men, the iiollce guard and
a small army of ushers, more than
65.000 persons saw the preformance.
It was by far the greatest fight crowd
New York ever had seen, and was
eecond in the annals of the sport only
to that which saw the Dempsey-Car
pentler affair at Jersey Gity—an
audience that totaled more than 90,
000.
Willard got perhaps the greatest
ovation of the day when he stepped
into the ring and bared his great
bulk for his comeback effort. Firpo
got almost as great a reception, how
ever. when he stalked solemnly from
the ring after his victory over Mc
Auliffe.
