The sailors of the flag- of face like the sphinx. “Buy y'r ticket at the box office.

If the box office is closed and you can’t buy asticket it looks as if you might have to remain outside.” Despite his watchfulness Stark man- n:}ed to get in. Just a Mcment, Please. The less said about the bouts fae better. To begin ‘at the beginning, Jimmy Reilly, the flashy New Yorker, didn't show up for his match with Hughie McDonald and Yeung Howell of Boston was substituted. . Fay an- nounced from the ring that he was as much disappointed as anyohe over Reilly’'s actions ‘and he said money would be returned at the box office to: any who didn't care to remain. - No one left ag most of the audience came in on “deadhead” cardboards. McDonald, aeccording to - repert emanating from New York, was ohce champion something or other in the U. 8. navy. It is eagy to understand all the talk of “unpreparedness” after geeing Hughie go through the motions of boxing. Shiver me timbers, but it was awful. McDonald and Howell started in at each other with deter- mination to make the affair short and sweet.. McDonald tacked port and starboard and just exhausted himself with wild, blind swings. Howell's bunkers were empty and his boilers had got cold by the third round and as neithler wag strong enough to sign his name Referee Willis waved them to the dressing rooms. Even if the bout wasn't good, it was excruciating- 1y funn The Wagner-Malia go was the only one to proceed for ten rounds. Malia was outweighed and outclassed, but he was as hard as mails and try as he thight Wagner couldn't slip over the sleep slap, Malia won the plaudits of the crowd by his gameness and when he climbed out of the ring he was given a big hand. Malia’'s father died in the afternoon and under such cireumstances he couldn’t put up his best stuff. Was It a “Knockout”? Frankie Nelson was far superior to. Jimmy Flynn in the third bout. fifth round meant ‘‘curtains” for the New Yorker when his jaw was made the target for a rain of rights and lefts, There was doubt in the minds of some of the fans whether Flynn was really ‘‘out” or whether he de- cided that he would run away and fight again some other day. At any event if he wasn’t knocked out in, the fifth he would have been before the tenth, so what's the difference? Flynn put up.a fine bout until the fourth, when he began to weaken under the fusilade. From 'that on it was only a ‘question of time before he wilted and in the fifth the end came, Flynn going down like a ton of lead. E. 8. Kilby was timer, PIRATES VVS.

Brooklyn, May 15.—Bresnahan’s Cubs finally got tired of being shown up by the Dodgers. They laid aside all of yesterday afternoon for repri- sals and accomplished such an artistic piece’ of revenge that even H. Ebbets didn't have a word of excuse In oné of the most térrific hitting fus- flades ever seen by devotees of the national pastime, the Windy City ¢hal- lengers fell upon three of Robingon’s : pitchers and smote them hip and thigh for a 19 to ¢ victory. It wasn't baseball—at least not for long. After the Arst inning it was homicide. The visitors seemed sim- ply to have gone daft. They swat- ted everything thrown up to them. | The best pitcher in the country could I not have stemmed the tide, once the torrent of base knocks began to ac- cumulate. Pete Standridge, a husky right hander from the coast, certainly found the softest spot of his life for an eastern debut. Chicago could have won yesterday without any pitther. This is casting no aspersion on Stand- ridge, who stumbled into just such another cinch against the Pirates a couple of weeks ago. Score: r. hooe.

Philadelphia, May 15.—The Phillies coming from behind, snatched a 5 to 8 wvictory from Pittsburg by driving Mumaux from the box in the seventh: inning. and hitting Adams all over the field in the elghth, ' In the latter inning Cravath, first man to face Adams, hit the first ball aver the fence for a hame run, tving the score, Then Whitted hit the first ball pitched for, a single, and Niehoff whacked the first one for a double.

In the California city it was whispered about that Billy was a ‘‘remittance man,” the scion of a titled English fainily, and there were many other Teports about him, which led to his being called “Mysterious Billy.” His first fight in San Francisco was with “Spider” Kelly, and a little later he defeated Danny Needham, Charley’ Gleason of Minneapolis, ‘‘Shadow” Maher and Billy Armstrong and fought a draw with Tommy West. Smith then went to New York and by defeating Tom Williams, the Aus- tralian welter champion, was recog- nized in 1893 as thle world’'s premiere welterweight boxer, He lost to Tom- my Ryan in 1893, and the following yvear fought draws with Ryan and Joe Walcott.

SPEED, MORE SPEED, IS DEMAND OF FANS Big Leagues Respond by Playing Faster Against the Cleck. New York, May 15.—The efforts be- ing made in both the major leagues and the Federal league to speed up the daily games is already beginning to show results. Complaints from the cities represented in all three circuits, first called the attention of the league executives to the fans' objections to long drawn out contests and there was immediate action on the part of the baseball authorities, President Ban Johnson of American league notified the junmior organization club managers that less time mubt be consumed in playing games and that several time-killing practices must be discontinued. Presi- dent Gilmore of the Federals took a similar stand and intimated that he might offer prizes in order to shorten the average playing session. In the National league the matter was also given careful study and several plans congidered to improve the conditions. A study of the playing time figures of the three leagues discloses some interesting details.’ Using the April contests as a basis it is shown that the average in the American league for from ten to thirteen contests is two hours, five and one-half minutes. The Federal league clubs under similar conditions required two hours, two and one-quarter minutes to play nine innings,. while the National league made the best showing with an aver- age of one hour, fifty-two and one- half minutes, Of the individual clubs of the Amer- ican league the Washington team led the organization Wwith an average of one hour, fifty-one minutes. Boston and New York followed with averages five and seven minutes slower respec- tively. St. Louls consumed the most time, the Browns requiring two hours, nineteen and one-half minutes, with Chicago but one minute faster. The Philadelphia Nationals were the hust. lers of the Tener circuit, averaging one hour, forty-four minutes for ten games, with the New York Giants but one-half a minute slower. Chicago required two hours, éleven and one- half minutes, and Pittsburg also crossed the two hour mark. In the Federa]l league the Pittsburg club showed the best time, averaging but one hour, fifty minutes for thirteen games, Buffalo showed the other ex- treme, requiring an average of two hours, twenty-seven minutes for twelve games.
