The Woodmen of the World stepped into firet place in the Metropolitan league by virtue of their double win over the Nebraska Tires at Kontenelle park yes terday afternoon, while the Murphy-Dld Its wer** being downed for the third time out of the last five games by the Stand ard Laundry at Muny beach. The Wows » hold the lead by a whole game margin. The Laundrymen went Into a tie with the Tires for third place in the per cent column when they won from fhe Dld-Ita and will stand a good chance to surprise the boys by winning the Class A bunting, as the Metro loop splits into two di visions this week. Nearly 9.000 persons saw the feature repetition bill at Fonteneile. The first contest was a near slugfest, while the second was a perfect twirling duel for nine frames, only to be stopped in the extra inning when the Woodmen went on a hitting spree and sent across seven runs. The Tires led most of the way in both contests, only to lose the double header when they displayed erratic ball during the final stanzas. Lawrence Custer of the losers deserves ' more credit than any local amateur hurler thus far this season when he opposed the new league leaders on the mound for Id 2-3 innings and allowed them but eight scent hits in both rnn-! tests until his hacking broke behind him and the Woodmen scored several tallies In the 10th Inning of the second contest Custer demonstrated excellent control and prover himself one of the best hurlers in the Metro league. Jimmy Moore and Rrupskl hurled good bail for the top notchers and received excellent support throughout both twists. In the second affair of the afternoon Krupsl set the Tires down with but three hits and as many runs, while the win Deis h**ld scoreless for six frames After ■coring one run In both the seventh and eighth, with two out, and trailing by a single score, Tracy w»« sent In to pinch hit for Stilmock. This artist sent the willow Into s fast one and sent the apple to deep right for a home run, which knotted the count. — After tying the count by Tracy's homer ' the Woodmen came to bat In the 10th and scored a volley of seven runs to take the (‘Isas A leadership. Six errors great ly aided this extra inning rally. Jimmy Moore also hit at needy times during the » final innings when he took Macaguo's post at cetiterfleld ftulph Beers held the former league leaders to seven scattered hits and won for his mates at Muny Beach, « to J. The Standards landed hard on the of v fcrlngs of Allen during the first few »n ^ nlnxs and piled up a lead which they held throughout. Allen, the Dld-Ita mound ace, was forced to he relieved x for the first time this season when Rokusek was sent In In tee fifth. For the first time this season Beers had the honor of striking Ike Mahoney out two times yesterday afternoon. Warhtler, catcher for the winners In this confab, hit safely four times out of five trips to the rubber. He also made three assists and eight putouta.

This announcement was made yesterday by E. H. McCorthy, com mander of the South Omaha post of the American Legion which will stage the battle. The tight will be staged at the baseball park. Flrpo'a opponent has not been selected yet. The deal to bring Firpo to Omaha was closed this morning. The South Omaha post of the American I/oglon began to negotiate for Firpo immediately after the South American's victory over Jess Willard. It was planned to put him against "Tiny Jim" Herman. Hrpo nt first agreed- to come. Then Tex Rickard began to ne gotlat* for a Perfipsey Flrpo fight and the Argentinian called oft the proceedings. Rut a hitch apparently ha* de veloped in the Dempsey deal and this morning "Bill’’ McCarney, Firpo's agent, called Omaha by long distance telephone to say that Firpo would be able to fulfill the Omaha engagement. The South Omaha post then got in touch with Jack Dew!*, Herman's manager, hut Lewi* In the meantime had signed up for a match In Butte on July 30. So another opponent must be found for Firpo. The South American, ap prized that Herman was no longer available, agreed to fight anybody the South Omaha post selected. Mc Carthy is now angling for the serv ices of several good men. Because of the Firpo match the Rainbow post of the American legion In Council Bluffs hag postponed In definitely the "Billy" Wells-Schlaifer fight It intended to promote in Coun cil Bluffs on August 3. Lew Tendler Only Southpaw Who Reached Heights of Ring Greatness r>_ p IEW TENDLER is the only southpaw boxer who -J ever reached the heights of true greatness, although a pair of portsiders—A1 McCoy and Johnny Wilson—won the world's middleweight title. McCfljr and Wilson were n^wr highly regarded by ye fistic bug, however. The former was the poorest fighter who ever held a championship, while a succession of events have prevented Wilson from proving Just how good—or bad—a boxer he really Is. Heorge Chaney, Danny Kramer and K. O. Rrown are the f^ily other southpaws who ever reached positions of promlnehre. Kramer seemed destlhed to batter his way to flstlana's throne room a couple years ago. but after knocking out .lark Wolfe and several other top notchers he drifted back Into the ranks of the second raters. Chaney has h«en hovering around the top of the lightweight heap for several years and although he Is exceedingly dangerous he Is not of championship caliber. Brown wss a fair rough and tumble fighter, but nothing more. i Most lefthanders are woefully slow, easily hit and horribly awkward. Tendler, however, Is a corking boxer, s splendid ring general, a terrific punch er and as game as any man In the ring. He is undoubtedly the leading con tender for the crown which has reposed a-top Leohard's noble dome for six yenra and more. During the nine years he has spent flinging his educated dukes Lew has lost but three bouts. Rocky Kansas won a decision over Lew two years ago when the Philadelphian was "rusty," due to a long period of Idleness. Last yenr Leonard shaded Tendler In their 12-round classic at Jer rev CMy and about three years ago Kddle Kltrsimmons gained a newspaper decision over Lew in a bout that appeared to he a Dan McCJee. Tendler has beaten, among others, Johnny Dundee. Willie Jackson, Sailor Freedman, Pal Morah, Mel Coogan. Alex Hart, Richie Mitchell, Pinkie Mitchell, Johnny Tillman, fiver Hammer, Rocky Kansas. Joe Welling, Tele Herman and Patsy Cline. Today Dew probably Is not ns good a fighter an he was about four years ago. In this writer's opinion he reached the peak of his form when he met Willie Jackson In a six round no decision contest at Philadelphia back In the summer of 1919. Jackson, a prodigious puncher who had knocked out Johnny Dundee a short time be fore, dropped Tendler twice In the first round. When the bell rang Dew was flat on hie back, dead to the world. Ills handlers dragged him to hla corner and worked frantically In an effort to revive him. Tendler. who Is blessed with wonderful vitality, re cuperated quickly and was seemingly as strong as ever when he left hla cor ner for the second session. From the moment the bell rang be ginning the second round until It clanged at the end of the sixth Tendler gave Jnckson a terrific beating He closed both the New Yorker’s eyes, knocked out his teeth, opened cuts under his chin, on his cheeks and his forehend. battered him cruelly about the body- in fact, did everything but knock him nut. Jukson never recov ered from that beatlnir; during the paat two years he has been defeated repeatedly by preliminary boxers and not Ion* a (to was knocked out by Johnny Shuttrue. Tendler was superb thst nlRht. Tt Is doubtful If fhe llRhtwelKht ever lived who could hsve beaten him as he boxed from the second round to the sixth.
