Enables Herd
to Beat Saints
Konetchy's Homer in Fifth
Inning Decides Second Con
test in Favor of Omaha,
4 to 3.
B.v R VEPH WAGNER.
Boss Konetchy'B late-starting Oma
ha Buffaloes Increased their speed
toward th# top of the league percent
age column yesterday when they
copped a couple 01
games from, the
fast-slipping St.
Joseph Saints. The
herd won the
opener, a nine-in
ning affair, S to 2,
nad then turned
around and
trimmed the Saints
in a seven-inning
nightcap by th®
score of 4 to 3.
In eatjh game It
was £00d pitching, plus opportune
hitting, that spelled victory tor those
Buffaloes. George Boehler worked
the first contest and allowed only
eight hits. He fanned six Saints,
further proof that George is rounding
into shape. Byron Speece got the
word for the second'game and man
aged to turn in a victory for the
House of Speece. The former State
leaguer was hit safely seven times
during the seven frames, but he kept
his hits pretty well scattered and
there wasn’t much damage done by
the enemy.
Herd Scores Seven Runs.
The first game was a good one to
watch from the grandstand until the
seventh Inning, when the Buffaloes
l went wild and knocked Red McColl
nearly out for tlje count. The herd
scored seven runs in the seventh and
won the contest. Until the seventh
the Saints held a 2. to 1 lead, but
after the Buffaloes tamed down,
Omaha was In the lead by a mile.
Boehler and McColl Engaged in one
of those hurlers’ duels until McColl
, racked. Boehler held the visitors
to four scattered hits until the sixth,
when the Saints bunhhed a double, a
single and a fielder's choice for two
runs. In the eighth, Boehler was
bounced for two hits, but they didn’t
amount to anything. McColl, however,
didn't fare so well. He was hit
quite frequently all afternoon, bnt
not until the seventh were the Buf
falofs able to group their hits and
ash them in for runs.
Konetchy’s Homer Win*.
The second game, was short, sweet
and snappy. It was a St. Joseph vic
tory until the fifth, when, with the
score knotted, 3 to 3, Konetchy poked
the ball over the center field fence
for a home run and the tally that
proved to be the winning score for
the home crew.
The Saints took the lead in tht
first when they scored one run, hut
the herd evened up matters in the
second. In Omaha's half of the third
• it scored two runs and then held a
3 to 1 lead until St. Joseph regis
tered two In the fifth on a base on
balls, a sacrifice, two singles and an
error. The Saints came near knet
ting the count for the second time In
their half of the sixth, but a good
throw by Cullop from deep right
field caught Williams at the plate.
No game is scheduled for League
park this afternoon.

Looks Like Another New York
World’s Series in October
■
New 5ork. !sept. 9.—It looks to
night like, another world's series
in New York.
The Giants, with 19 more games
to play, have a lead of four games
nve.r the Pirates and five and a half
games over the Reds. The latter
dropped into third plare when they
lost n double header to the Car
dlnals, while the Giants and Pi
rates were winning.
In order to win the pennant the
Giants need play only .500 ball,
even though the Reds and Pirates
play .“50 per rent.
The Giants hegin their last west
ern trip in Chicago net Friday,
playing 11 games with the four
western clubs, two oC them with
the Reds and three with the
Pirates. Tl*e Reds and Pirates
still have five games with each
other, which series should work to
the advantage of the Giants.
The Tanks are almost certain to
win. They have a lead of 13
gaums over the Indians, with 2<
more to play. They ought to
clinch the pennant within a week.
Herman Offered
Fight With Firpo
in Buenos Aires
To Get $15,000, Win. Lose or
Draw—Dempsey Fight
Will Not Affect
Contract.
By FRED S. HUNTER.
Atlantic City, Sept. 9.—Opportunity
threatens to stumble across the thres
hold of Tiny Jim Herman. Modest
docile Tiny Jim, it was uncovered here
today, has been offered the flattering
sum of $15,000, plus all expenses both
ways for himself and his manager,
Jack Lewis, to journey to Buenos
Aires next November for a ring joust
with Luis Angel Firpo, the socalled
wild bull of the pampas.
The offer wns dispatched to Jock
Lewis by Alfred Mayor, who repre
sents a syndicate of Buenos Aires
capitalists who want Firpo to come
back home immediately after Louis'
"quarrel" with Jack Dempsey. There
are no strings to the offer Mayer said.
The offer stands whether Firpo wins
or loses in hie fistic tilt with the cham
pion.
Buenos Aires Wants to Nee Him.
Buenos Aires is wild to see its favor
I ite son in action against an American
pugilist. Mayer says. It matters not
whether Luis wins or loses with
Dempsey, he maintains, So immedi
ately after the battle nest Friday,
Luis Angel will prepare to hasten back
to the Argentine and collect while the
collecting is good.
Herman w-ould make a most ad
mirable opponent for Firpo In his
first homecoming fight. Mayer de
clared, because of Tiny Jim's size. It
would not do to put Firpo against a
man smaller in statue than Luis and
Herman has tho required weight and
build.
Mayer hopes Luis will accept the
$15,000 offer although lie has receiv
ed no reply from Jack as jet. Mayer
m;'S lie might even possfblj’ boost the
ante if Lewis doesn t think the $15.‘>00
figure quite large enough. Omaha
fight fins will remember Mayer. He
I was In Omaha with T.uls Ancel at
the time cf the latter’s "woeful aetto"
with the grotesque Homer Smith.
Mayer Is traveling w th Firpo a* staff
[correspondent of a Buenos Aires
paper, but he also is business repre
sentative of the Argentine syndicate
interests in the turbulent hull.
It Is quite apparent that Firpq. and
hi* cortege have been moved to more
strenuous efforts by some of tbo re
cent /caustic comment that has em
anated from some of the visiting ex
perts.* He is now trj’lng to put a lit
tie zip Into his training. Until the
last day or two Firpo has l>een train
ing much as lie did in the Business
Men’s gym In Omaha prior to the
Smith fiasco
Gets the liui/
The result as might !«* expected,
was a shower (f rail. Firpo tried to
Explain that his case called for differ
ent measures tlum the ordinary Amer
ican boxer, hut the explanation only
drew a fresh supply of the same hrand
of fruit.
!«n now Luis Angel is trying to speed
things up around his diggings at the
Atlantic City driving park.
The principal pep artist In the camp
Is John I.c.«!cr Johnson, husky and
dt "by and willing John Lester once
succeeded In busting a couple of Jack
Itempsey's ribs but that was in the
days when John Sudenhcrg fought
draws with the inin who now holds
the championship crown and since that
time the passing years have some
what enfeebled John Lester's huge
frame
Firpo. however, continues t-. use the
same style and manner that marked
Ills merry g round frolic with Homer
Smith In Omaha a month ago. He
stands perfei tly upright, holds his left
hand as though he didn't know what
to do with It, and struts around the
ring like a five ton truck Hi* sparr
ing partners h.t him .1 million times
each round, more or lies, while he re
mains content to swing every 70 or
30 seconds, In other words whenever
he sees an opening as apparent as a
barn door.
Mis ring style is peculiar but not
at all impressive The undomestlrated
l>o\lnr of the pampas ha« no hope of
successfully employing boxing craft
In his clash with the Ftsh mauler.
He is going to depend entirely and
cxcliisi\c|> upon Ins wallop, Strange
as tt may seem. Firpo Is not cutting
much of a swathe in Atlantic City.
His training camp la une/pial to the
Competition of the many attractions
along the boardwalk and hustnesa la
hum Firpo will never get rich on
the money he takes In at the training
camp gale. ,
Independent Game*.
The Sherman Vvrnue Merchants
won a double header Sunday front the
Heaelins, The first w as by a score of
X to 2 and the second, 10 to 7.
