Tagging All the Bases The Giants gained an even break, to say nothing of a few points in the pennant race, by beating the Braves, to two in the first game. They lost the second, however, to one. Seven White Sox pitchers were used up during a double defeat by the Tigers, to four and six to five. The Reds dropped back in the pennant race, finishing second to the Alarming Interests. By DAV. (I.

WALSH (I. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—If they speak from the heart and not from the wallet pocket, men in sport promotion must admit that the big money of the post war period is slowly but inevitably drifting elsewhere. The paid admissions at nearly every sport event have dwindled in an alarming rate the present year and for reasons obvious and compelling, to wit: 1—Lack of ready money. 2—Lack of interest. It is this lack of money plus an overdose of exploitation that has caused followers of boxing to greet all box office men with a touch of austerity. Formerly, almost any kind of an attraction would produce a capacity house at something above popular prices. Today fights, notably those involving Crivil and Kilbane, Wilde and Villa, Dempsey and Gibbons, Wilson and Greb, play to meager attendance. Too many fights and too little money is the answer. Insistent ballyhooing summoned the innocents in great numbers to see Leonard and Tendler, and Firpo and Willard. It will do the same for Dempsey and Firpo, but there must be an end of everything and we are disposed to believe that Dempsey and Firpo will supply it. In baseball, lack of adequate competition is the answer. The Yankees are cake-walking in the American League and interest is dying a belated death. The west seems to be the more concerned with the Yankees than New York itself. BEAR KILLS CHILD LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4.—An inquiry may be held tomorrow over Valma Hollingsworth, 5, clawed to death Sunday by a bear at the Real Art Motion Picture Studio. It was learned today that efforts were being made to determine who was responsible for the child's death. The little girl is said to have gone to the studio with a playmate. According to the watchman at the studio he never allowed children of the neighborhood to go behind the bars to look at the animals, but in this instance he had just fed the bears and believed he could watch the children and protect them. The watchman said he watched a smaller bear and turned in horror to see a big bear with the little girl in his arms and that some moments elapsed before he could beat the animal off with a club. EDUCATOR ASSERTS DISASTER BLESSING BERKELEY, Cal., Sept. 4.—"The destruction of Tokio and Yokohama is a great blessing to the Japanese." So said Y. S. Kuno of the University of California today. He is head of the department of Oriental languages and is one of the best known Japanese educators in America. "The great loss of life and misery caused by the catastrophe is deplorable, but in the long run the earthquake and fire will prove inestimable benefit to the empire," he said. "Tokio and Yokohama were engaged in commerce and international business on a modern scale. They were immeasurably handicapped because they were ancient cities. The populations were huddled together without modern sanitation or street improvements." This jumble of new and old was not favorable to the modern business. With the burning of the antiquated houses and the raging of old insti- LARGE INCREASE TO ANAHEIM EXCHANGE The Anaheim telephone exchange with August gains has added 164 stations to its total since the opening of the year, Manager E. A. Beard declared today. The exchange now has 1893 stations. The percentage gain of the station so far this year is approximately 9.5. Los Angeles continues to gain on San Francisco and with 197,400 stations on July 1, the latest date for which figures are available from the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company as a whole, was more than 10,000 ahead. In group I, 20,000 stations and over, comprising Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and Tacoma, Oakland with 5.77 enjoyed the largest percentage gain the first six months of the year and Los Angeles the second largest with 4.19. In group I of which Santa Ana is a member—2500 to 5000 stations—Santa with 10.22 per cent gain in six months was second only to Alhambra, San Mateo and San Pedro. HOLD WIFE, LOVER, FOR MURDER OF TWO PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 4.—Mrs. James Slovak and her alleged lover, John Kulo, were arrested today following discovery at midnight of the poisoned bodies of James Slovak, 42, and his daughter, Cecilia, 3, in their home. "A suicide note" on the table first led police to believe that Slovak had poisoned his daughter and then ended his own life. Later investigation aroused the rage suspicion that the note was framed." Handwriting experts are examining it. Mrs. Slovak and Kulo had been friendly for some time and had attended a dance together. The woman said she discovered the dead bodies on her return home. The unmotional attitude further aroused suspicion, police stated. The little girl body was warm when the Insistent ballyhooing summoned the innocents in great numbers to see Leonard and Tendler, and Firpo and Willard. It will do the rame for Dempsey and Firpo, but there must be an end of everything and we are disposed to believe that Dempsey and Firpo will supply it. In baseball, lack of adequate competition is the answer. The Yankees are cake-walking in the American League and interest is dying a lauded death. The west seems to be more concerned with the Yankees than New York itself. DEMPSEY RESTING WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, N. Y., Sept. 4.—Jack Dempsey considers that he is in such fine condition for his coming bout with Luis Angel Firpo that a day of rest would do him no harm. Kearns declined to give a decision until noon. "I have not felt quite so fit and ready to fight in four years," Dempsey said. "I'll be in condition when I climb into the ring with Firpo, as good as I was when I met Willard in Toledo." FIRPO WILL TRAIN MOSTLY IN SECRET ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. 4.—Luis Angel Firpo will do most of his training for the Dempsey bout in secret after tonight. He plans to go thru several hours hard work every day from now on in the garage back of his quarters this morning he planned to do about eight miles of fast road work, followed by gnnasium grind and his bouts with sparring partners. Several new sparring partners will join the camp during the week. YESTERDAY'S HOME RUNS NATIONAL Hornaby, St. Louis ... 1 15 AMERICAN Speaker, Cleveland ... 1 13 Meusel, N.

The only was warm when the JAPANESE SUMMER RESORTS WIPED OUT WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—All the principal summer resorts of Japan apparently were wiped out in the great catastrophe, officials of the Japanese embassy said today, after a study of press reports. Three of the empire's greatest resorts, housing the summer homes of Japan's richest merchant princes, were in the group of cities. A huge tidal wave, following the shocks, was said to have completely inundated the cities with great loss of life. Embassy officials today feared for the lives of hundreds of the empire's most prominent citizens who are known to spend their summers at county estates along the seacoast. The territory frequented by the wealthier Japanese, the embassy stated, appears to have been practically wiped out.
