Eleven runs behind when they
went to bat in the last of the sev
enth inning last night, the Moose
staged a fierce batting rally, clout
ing the pill for nine safeties, in
cluding a triple and a two-bagger,
which combined with four errors and
a passed ball enabled them to tie
the score. The game was called at
the end of the seventh on account
of darkness, the score tied, Moose
17, American Legion 17.
It was a smashing end to a game
which had dragged aloong listlessly
all the way. Neither Burt, for the
war vets, nor McCloskey for the
Moose, were given any support. The
Legion scored four and the Moose
three earned runs. Trailing hope
lessly, as it seemed, even the most
hardened Moose fans had abandoned
hope when the seventh rolled around.
Those eleven runs looked like Mt 1
Juneau on a foggy day but the fog
was swept away.
How Moose Tied
Gamara, first batter up for the
Moose in the seventh, hit a grounder
inside first base line which Wood- j
ard let get through, giving the big i
Moose backstop life. Jimmy Me-j
Closkey singled cleanly between first j
and second, putting Gamara on third
'Gene McCloskey rapped out a line
drive over short for a single, scor
ing Gamara and sending Jimmy to
third. Bill Beaudin singled after:
’Gene had stolen second, and scored
Jimmy, ’Gene going to third. After!
getting two strikes on Koskey, Burt I
put one in the groove which the i
Moose shortstop hit for two bases, 1
sroring Beaudin and 'Gene. Bothello
filed oat to Sabin. Miller was safe
when Hanna missed his grounder to
short, Koskey scoring on the error.
Messerschmidt fanned. Jacobson sin
gled to left field. Miller going to
third and Jake taking second on the
throw-in. One of Burt’s slants got
away from, MacSpadden, Miller scor ;
ing and Jacobsen going to third,
from where he scored on Gamara'a :
single. Jimmy McCloskey doubled,'
sending Gamara to third. 'Gene Mr
Closkey singled, scoring Gamara and j
Jimmy took third. Bill Beaudin was i
safe at first when Woodard dropped j
Burt’s throw to the bag, the throw j
being low. J. McCloskey scoring ■'
Koskey dispelled the fog when he j
hit a iong drive over Magnrty's head !
In left field for three bases, scor !
Ing 'Gene McCloskey add Beaudin.!
Bothello ended the agony by strik
Ing out.
Game Was Ragged
It was a ragged exhibition of the
national pastime. The fans, how-,
ever, those who had the patience |
to wait it out, got their money’s ;
worth in the seventh when hits

AND OUT IN EIGHTH ROUND OV
LUIS FIRPO: WILLARD HAD ALL i
OF BETTER OF HUNT TO K, 0.
JERSEY CITY, July 13. — Joss
! Willard the “man mountain” of
Kansas, returned to fistic oblivion
'last night staging a futile act in
|lils come-back before a throng of
more than 100,000, the greatest in
I ring history, which filled Boyles
Thirty Acres to overflowing.
| Luts Angel Firpo, dark-browned
imauler from the Argentine, closed!
the door to Willard’s attempted re-|
turn to fistic fame by knocking out:
i the giunt and former champion in
the eighth round in a slashing bat
tle, tjie greatest of recent heavy
weight history. Incidentally Firpo
reached the goal of his past year of
imeteoric rise to prominence—a
[match for the title with Dempsey.
There was no question of super
iority by the Argentine battler.
Willard’s superior weight, height
and reach enabled the big Kansas
| man to check Firpo's rushing attacks!
I in most of the early rounds but in [
|spito of the American’s gameness;
| under tire, the tide of battle swung i
j inevitably in favor of the younger
rnd more rugged fighter.
The final round opened slowly as
they sparred at long range and lit
tle hint came that the end was near.
But suddenly, Firpo unleashed a sav-'
age drive at Willard’s head and I
body. The fury of that attack never]
before failed to bring down the
South American's quarry and Big]
Jess, in spite of ills towering size j
and stamina, wilted step by step. |
Willard tried to gain ground, trying!
to blindly ward off the volley of]
jolts to the head and body and then
backed up against the ropes. His
head sank and then a right, shot
to the head, sent him to his knees.
He reeled as referee Harry Dewis
started counting, shaking his head
and trying to lift himself up. But
the waning strength in that great
hulk was unequal to the task and
ho sank into the arms of li is
handlers at the final count.
Fight bv Rounds.

twice apparently tiring under re
lentless pace he liad set but as he
drew away from Willard, Firpo sud
denly launched a whirlwind drive
to the head and body. Seeing the
advantage as Willard’s guard drop
ped, Firpo rained a volley of rights
and lefts to the champion's head.j
Willard tried to ward off Firpo's
drive but his defensive tactics were
inaffertive. A poworful right to the
chin sent him rolling to the ropes.
Dosed and .groggy he dropped to his
knees. He tried to rise but could
not and was lifted- to his corner in
a daze.
