Only three boats i started in the race—the Miss Detroit, driven by Johnny Milot nd Jack Bee- | be; the Tech, Jr., driven by T. Cole- | man du Pont, Jr., and the Presto, with | Victor Kleistrath at the wheel. They | started in that order, the Miss Detroit | leading the Tech, Jr., by about five | lengths and the Preston only three ' lengths astern of the Tech, Jr. The start was the most exciting part of the i the Presto overhauled the Tech, Jr., | | twenty seconds after the start. 3 leap out of the water. | such ring generals | Fleming, race, for with a fine burst of speed She was second hoat at the first turn, but | her spurt was short lived, for a min- ute later the Tech, Jr., seemed to fairly | She passed the Presto like a shot out of a gun before Plum Point was reached.

Jennings is beginning to get better pitching, and with his run-making machine cperating with some fairly consistent box work, the Red Sox must travel at fair speec through the West to be counted in before the middle of September. If the afore- said Tigers can rcll back the Red Sox charge in Detroit the younger league way kick in witht a finish as full of thrills as the older circuit is sure to furnish.

Answered Like a Man, In the last ten days I've noticed where you've figured Phila- delphia, Brooklyn, Bosion and Pitts- burg all with a chance to win the National league pennant. Now cut out the and “maybes” and the hedging and tell us what club you think will land. L. R. L. Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Boston or Pittsburg. Is that direct cnough? Sir: We've at last d this National league jumble, All eight of the clubs entered cracking under the strain. overed the answer to are Maxims of the 19t Hole, There cometh to every golfer the time when he curseth tne game and quitteth it forever. But the morrow shali find him back amid his anguish, for it is the one in- curable disease beyond ail antitoxin and the like thereof. “But When the World Ts Oid, Lad"— Doc Time apparently 1s beginning t{o complete his harvest. Here we have Mathewson registered only seven victories, Johnson h uffered eleven or twelve defeats, Lajoie is batting under .290 and Wagner under .250, Ciaude Milan hasn’t stolen thirty bases, where his mark three y ago | was eighty-eight; Walsh is drifting nack over the hill, Bender hasn't landed half his games witih the Feds. Yet only two or three years ago all these mentioned were the main stars ovut at the front. Not all of them are the others have on i The Case of Merkle. Those who figured Fred Merkie be- | —and there were many—are now en- titled to a sudden hift. Merkle started # the campaigr praying sgreat ball at first. No man in either league was playing better, Then he was chifted to the outficld, wnere many rank him as the most brilllant per- former in the older league, only second to Speaker in the game ground covering worth. There are not inany who can star at one job. But to star at two different occupations in through, but most of inem are, and | | a few laps ahead, cne season is about as keen a test of | ability as the game has at hand.

C. under the management of James Welsh, onc of the city’s bes known sporting men. (n arrangin Welsh has evi- | denced the fact that it 1s the inten- tion of his club to give the fans some | real shows for their money. The star bout of 15 rounds will bring together Hartford's favorite, “Red” Ames, the scrapping bofler- maker, who has estabiisied a record | for himself by the sterling battles he bas put up in varfous towns about the state last winter. Ames faced as “Wild Bill” Kncckout Palitz, Charley “One Round” Nolan and others, and | | | [ | when the bell sounded for the closo of the mills. He is now in training for his match in this efty. The opponent of the Hartford boy will be no other than -'Silent” Mar- | {in, the boy who is lcoked upon by ! New Yorkers as the com:ng middle- weight champion of the world. Mar- tin has fought his way to the top of the ladder and all that stands in his ! way of the crown iz Al McCoy, who | wears the championship cmblem, but Martin’s manager is confident that if he can get the champ to meet his man it will be curtains for McCoy. Martin is one of the present eccen- trics of the pugilistic world, being a deaf mute, but despite this handicap he is regarded as a whiriwind. The semi-final will bring together a local favorite in Jimmy Riley who ap- peared here last spring and wno made | a hit with the crowd on account of | the whirlwind battle he put up| ogainst Sammmy Waltz of Hartford. | The Capitol City boy nas clamored for a return match and Manager Welsh has made terms tnat have been accepted by Riley’'s manager. This bout will be for ten rounds. | There will be one other bout of six ' ‘rcunds but tthe management has not completed arrangements as yet. ‘‘Honest John” Willis will be the referee and B, § Kilby of Hartford will probably hold the watch. The prices wilt range rrom 50c to $1.50. Manager Welsh wag associated with “Tippy” Fay last winter, but the latter's method of conaucting bouts did not please him, according to his statements made to a Herald man, and he decided to hold bouts of his own. In making this move Manager Welsh has acted wisely, and there is no doubt but that the fight loving rublic will turn out in large numbers ‘c show their appreciation of his cfforts.
