THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1921. 10 "Slim" Davenport Checks Sooners in Opening Contest of Three-Day Series Buffaloes Trim Oklahoma City By 8 to 2 Score Locals Pound Allen for Six teen Hits Lelivelt and Gleason Wallop Out r, "V Triples. By RALPH WAGNER. T-jUMtDUUI Willi a WA I fluent command of the &V I noDular English tongue once sagely re marked in hearing of somebody else that "Slim" Davenport, the lanky Omaha pitcher, would be a liability rather than an asset to the club, all of which meant that the rangy Buffalo could not twirl the of apple good enough to stick in the Western league. Now, we hope that that somebody was on deck with the rest of the customers yesterday afternoon when this same Mr. Davenport with his - rangy arms and smiling map de feated the Oklahoma City Sooners in the first game erf a four-contest series, by the score of 8 to 2. The Oklahoma .City club is no second division team, brethren. Jack Hol land's Sooners are in second place in the standings, but if the other Buffalo pitchers can follow in Dav enport's footsteps, the southerners will take a flop down tht ladder. ."Slim" pitched swell ball yester day and deserves all the credit due a pitcher for winning a game. He shot the sphere over the pan with plenty of speed and as a result the opposition 'was unable to garner any more than six hits. Davenport is credited with the only strikeout of the contest, and was so stingy with his deliveries that not a single Soon ' er traveled to first via the base on balls route. Received Good Support "While he won his game and helo the Sooners "to five bingles, he re ceived good support from his team mates throughout. The Buffalo garden performers and, infielders grabbed the horsehide out of the atmosphere" fand scooped up ground ers in fine style. i, Allen represented Oklahoma City on the hill and was more liberal with his offering than his lanky oppo nent. The Sooner was nicked for 16 hits. Among these were three doubles and two triples. The Buffa loes jumped on Allen hard at the start and before the side had been retired," collected three runs and four : hits. I- - , . . "The Oklahoma City pitcher also received good support, but when the Buffaloes spanked the ball it jour neyed out to the garden and general- ly counted for at least one sack. However, $oore and Hughes got their feet tangled up trying to pick up the sphere during the eighth in ning anda these two Sooner bobbles resulted !ntwo runs. First. Man Doubles. In the initial round, Gislason sin gled and trotted down to second when Haney grounded out. Lee poked the ball to left field for a double and Mn Gislason came home. The latter scored when Lelivelt sin gled and then Griffin sent the ball jailing to right for a single, register ing his former boss. Three scores for that inning. The Sooners started kicking in the third when Pitt singled and went to second on Moore's drive to right. The latter got on alright, but Griffin fumbled the, ball and in the mixup Pitt scampered down to third. Then Shanley steps up to bat. Strike one! Strike; two! Bingo! Ball travels out to deep right for a single. Pitt and Moore score only tallies for Ok lahoma City during game. Lelivelt was first batter up for Omaha in the third. He straightened out one of Allen's curves and all hands .turned their glimmers on the left-field fence, thinking that the ball would land somewhere near the Fon fenelle hotel.5 But alas, it stopped out near the scoreboard and Mr. Lelivelt got a triple out of the blow. Not bad, eh? Griffin grounded out and then Lelivelt scored when O'Brien played the big brother act and sent a nice high sacrifice fly out to Harper, leading batsman of the circuit. Outside of the second inning when the Sooners .got a man on third base he was left stranded there and in the third when they scored two runs, not a visitor traveled past the first , station. . ;.Bad Eighth for Sooners. The-righth inning was another bad round for Allen. O'Brien started it off with a single., Massey sacrificed him to second and he went to third on Lingle's one-base blow. Gislason got on first when he sent out a Texas leaguer. Moore fumbled the ball and permitted O'Brien to score. Haney cracked out his third hit, a double, and Lingle and Gislason came home with two more tallies. Lee sent a easy" grounder down to Shortstop Hughes, but the latter must have . thought First Baseman Graham was in the bleachers as he whipped the horsehrde orer his head and in doing so allowed Haney to score the final tally.

Will Grapple With 'Handsome' McGill "Silent" Olsen, Danville, Ky., light-heavyweight wrestler, and "Pat" McGill, Wisner, Neb., have been matched to meet at the Buffaloes' park July 8. '""-"Mt, ' . il..sM.h i.....-..M Bill Brennan Has to Explaining to Get Manhassett, June 17. There were some lively doing at Georges Car pentier's training camp here today, but the sight of Bill Brennan, the big Chicago heavyweight trying to crash the gate was easily the piece de re silience of the whole proceedings. Bill was being chaperoned by a swarthy soul who appeared very proud of his assignment. The two stepped along briskly to the gate only to have their advance tempor arily halted by Mons. Deschamps, who was doing duty in that direc tion. There wasn't anyone going to pull a One-eyed Connelly on old Mons if he knew anything about it. "This is Bill Brennan, Mr. Deschamps," said Bill's sponsor, but that didn't mean a gosh denied thing to Senor Deschamps' young and hectic acreer. The aforesaid William might just as well have been Mike The Bite, or some other celebrity. Deschamps had never heard of Brennan, and what was more he didn't care a tinker's whoop who he was. The sponsor for' Brennan finally By JACK DEMPSEY. Heavyweight Champion of the World. Copyright, 1921, By King Feature Syndi cate, Inc. Atlantic City, June 17. Got the old boxing gloves back on my hands this afternoon for the ttrst time in what seems like an age. The feel of them end the sport in mixing it with two of my midget spar ring partners cer tainly made this a great dayfor .ne. Started eff the conditioning with a stiff walk of about six miles; mixing it up now and then with a sorint of about 200 yards. After breakfast Johnny Coulon, former bantam champion, came out and tried out his ttick of resisting ' lifters. Simplest thing in the world to lift Johnny, who weighs only 110, when he doesn't apply the trick pressure. But when he placed his finger on my wrist and neck, darned if I could hoist him. Something uncanny about that . After I tried it Walter Kelly who has become famous on the stage as the "Virginia Judge," Mike Trant and others of my friends tried it. But they couldn't do it either. . Workouts in Afternoon, In the afternoon came the real workout. The sun was sizzling hot and the old moisture came out nicely. That is always a good sign. When ever an athlete can work up a healthv sweat while he's going through his stunts, it means that he is breezing along splendidly toward tip-top shape. Tust now I weigh around 196 or 19, having picked up a few pounds while loafing. I'll probably get down to 193 or 194 in a few days. Ouht to hit around 190 on fight day unless we get some very hot weather meanwhile. If so, and I work along as I have planned, I may go into the Do Much Into Georges' Camp drew a diagram of William engaged in a fght with Jack Dempsey, and the French boss reluctantly gave in and Bill Brennan landed inside the sacred portals of Carpentier's fight ing quarters. Brennan is now pull ing for Georges and hisgang with some slight reverse English. Carpentier went through some real training stunts today while half a dozen movie cameras shot him at every 4,wist. The faster those pic ture shooters worked the speedier Carpentier stepped about. Anytime those picture sharks get the bead on the French boxer you always see some real action. There was a large gathering on hand, which included quite a sprin kling of the fair sex, when Georges appeared to, do his stunts. One pretty young woman from Chicago expressed horror at the thought that such a cute boy as Georges Carpen tier was going to be tossed into the ring with such a rude person as Jack Dempsey. Her husband reassured her, however, by telling her that Georges was a tough guy himself when annoyed. ring weighing but little more than I did against Jess Willard in Toledo, which, it would seem, shows that I've been holding rather close through the last two years to a bulk which means my best fighting. I'd hoped to mix it with all of my sparring partners today. But Jack Kearns ordered "easy stuff." So he would permit only Irish Patsy Cline, the lightweight, and Babe Herman, the bantam, to box with me. These boys are lightning fast and kept me stepping around in a lively way. Practices for Speed. Practice in the matter of speed is just what I need. I'm not worrying much about my punching power. That is still there, just like it was in Toledo. But in this fight I'll prob ably have to hop around faster than I did against Jess. So I'm glad to have the little fellows to develop my leg muscles to their limit. Through mistake, I caught Irish Patsy on the chin with a right jab and it shook up the little fellow so much that I had to clinch him around a while until his head cleared. Then we had a fast action finish. Herman's short arms didn't reach me very often, but, my, oh, my! Hcwv that kid can step around. Had me spinning around like a whirling dervish trying to keep fronting him. Didn't try to hit him, but one or two little jabs got loose and topped his head. Afterwards with rounds with each of the boys, Herman and I engaged in a shoving match for three min utes. That is, we were supposed to do nothing but shoving, but that lit tle fellow kind of forgot all about it being a pure shoving match and when he got in close he socked me a few in the pit of the stomach, pos sibly to make up for the little jabs I landed on him Its Battling Ghee against Jack Dempsey tomorrow in the "star" ex hibition bout. They tell me the colored boy is a wiz. Great news. I'm looking forward to mixing it up with him, and if he eis as good as they say I may accept his invitation to tear in every so often and try out our iockers, i Dodgers Trounce Pirates, 8 to 3 Judge Landis to Preside Over Major League Officials at Meeting Monday.
