CLOSE GAME WON BY SINGLE LEAD Richfield Spanish team won 5 to 4 a hard fought game over the Los Angeles Beavers yesterday on the Richfield diamond. A. Sanchez, manager, was kept on pins and needles during the game which was close in every inning. The visitors started scoring when the first man up made a run. Each time the visitor would make a run, Richfield did the same, until the sixth inning when they knocked two runs. Brooks of Los Angeles knocked a home run in the seventh inning. Bustillo hit a three-bagger in the same period. Bleecker, Richfield pitcher, fanned out 13 men while Ralph of Los Angeles only 1. R. H. E. Richfield ... 100 012 100—5 14 4 L. A. Beavers 101 001 100—4 7 2 SLUGGER ON ROAD TO REGAIN LOST RECORD By ARTHUR STRUWE NEW YORK, July 16—Babe Ruth, with every indication pointing to his regaining home run laurels taken away last year by Roger Hornsby, slugging Cardinal, is seeking another honor this year. Babe wants to lead the league in hitting, not only in knocking out home runs, but in making ordinary hits. Today he is only two home runs behind Cy Williams, Philadelphia outfielder, who is topping the league with 22. Babe has 21 to his credit. Last year this date Babe had 14, but was out of the game for 30 days at the beginning of the season because of his suspension by Judge Landis. With the season more than half over, it is not likely that Babe will surpass his record of 59, made two years ago, but he has a chance to top Hornsby's mark of last year. SPECTACULAR GAME LOCAL ELKS' BY A fair sized crowd of fans saw a thrilling finish to a yesterday on the high school field, the visiting team made in their half of the ninth to have the home club come right runs to win, score seven to six. The White Soap Kings of Los Angeles furnished the opposition and plenty of it, the first inning the Kings scored two on Hesse two baggar, two walks and an infield error, the Elks tied is up in the same frame on singles by Pendelton, G. Callan and Ramage with an error at short, the game was a tight pitchers contest from then until the eighth when the visitors broke the tie on a triple by Thompson. J. Hawkins' hit tied it again on G. Callan's second hit and a wild throw by the visiting catcher and D. Bush's long sacrifice fly. In the ninth Hughes fanned the first two men, then Talley doubled to center and scored when A. Hawkins lost Seal's short fly in left field, Hesse walked and Thompson doubled to left scoring two more, putting the Soap Kings three runs ahead. Then came the local's big inning, like this: R. Bush walked, Schrott ditto, Hughes singled over second, bases full, none out. Pendleton crashed one over third, scoring one. B. Callan then laid down a bunt and by emulating Charley Paddock beat the throw to first. G. Callan's third hit of the day scored two, tieing the score, then with the run needed to win on third base. Ramage hit the longest single ever seen on any baseball diamond, far over the left fielder's head. It would have been a home run in any park in the world.

SPORT SNAP SHOTS BY JACK REENE Charley White and Carl Tremaine apear to be two of a kind. Each is a terrific hitter who looks like a champion when things are going well. Each has the habit of curling up when stung. White's trouble seems to be inability to think clearly when the going becomes rough. Tremaine becomes discouraged and ceases firing for that reason. Each is the hardest hitter in his class, but it is highly improbable that either will ever win a title. The United States seems pretty well off as far as the Olympic games of 1924 are concerned. The athletes already have a ship to take them over and back, they will have a hotel of their own to Paris to live in, and the recent college meets east and west have shown that the educational institutions have more promising athletes than ever before. There is every reason to believe that the athletes who have shown such surprisingly good form this spring will be even better next year when the time comes to go abroad. America will have strength in events in which it has been weak in the past. Javelin throwing has been developed on this side during the last season or two, and so has the disc throw. Athletes everywhere have been giving more attention to the long distance runs, a branch of sport which has been neglected here. Bill Johnson, tennis wizard, in condition weighs about 126 pounds. By reason of his European experience he is expected to make Bill Tilden go some when they meet in the All-Comers singles matches in Philadelphia, late this summer. When Sherry Smith, former Brooklyn southpaw, turned back the Yankees in his first start of the season in New York and then added the scalps of the Athletics to his collection, Cleveland owed there swore he was southpaw that ever form of the Forest Coyote.

FULLERTON SCOUT SAVES GIRL'S LIFE Scoutmaster Karl Parks of Fullerton Troop No. #2 has every reason to be very proud of the work he has been doing with a group of boys in Fullerton during the past year when one of his scouts, within a few days of the anniversary of the troop's birth, saved the life of a young lady at Lake Arrowhead. Scout Thompson, who did this splendid feat, is such a quiet, unassuming scout that no one heard anything about the rescue until Mr. Roy F. Wilcox of Montebello wrote to Scout Headquarters telling them about this scout's bravery and thoughtfulness. This is one of the biggest things that has come to show an Orange-co scoutmaster in a very tangible way the results of the scout training he has been giving his boys. The letter written to scout headquarters is as follows: July10,1923. Mr.Roland E.Dye, Scout Executive,B.S.A., 215 Hill Blvd. Santa Ana,Calif. My dear Mr.Dye: On Sunray afternoon at Arrowhead Lake, I experienced an exciting rescue in the bathing plunge. The incident will illustrate the value of good training and I thought it might be of interest to the boys of the can.p. There was a young lady by the name of Miss Grace Sackett of Los Angeles floating in the plunge and she got into deeper water than she evidently expected. Our attention was immediately attracted by the peculiar sound of this young lady calling for help and seeing her go under water a couple of times, a number of us rushed along side of the plunge to get her out. However, there was a young man in the plunge who seemed to be more alert and quicker than the rest of us, for he had already swum to the young lady and was ready to rescue her out. collection, Cleveland critics then and there swore he was the greatest southpaw that ever wore the uniform of the Forest City team. Otto Hess, Vean Gregg, Fred Coumbe and Walter Malls were southpaws to whom Smith was compared with all honor to the present portsider. Cleveland writer give Smith the credit for being the first Indian pitcher to check the fleetfooted Wid Mathews of the Athletics on the sacks. First time Mathews got on first against Smith he took a long lead. Smith's quick throw trapped him eight feet from the base, but First Baseman Guisto dropped the toss. The second time Smith chucked Guisto held the ball and Mathews was nailed flatfooted. Tagging All the Bases By I. N. S. Realizing the ambition of every ball player, Barney Prieberg hit a home run in the tenth with the bases full and the Chicago Cubs defeated the Giants 9 to 5. A single by Grimm in the ninth that scored one tally helped the Pirates beat Brooklyn 4 to 2. Driving Coveleskle to the showers the Yanks trimmed Cleveland 4 to 2.
