To tell about this affair would be the same as describing one of the battles in the trenches, for after the first round, it was simply a question of how long Ames could not stand up under the terrific grueling | that the “Silent One aaministered to him. To cap the climax a wound over Ames left eye was opened in the fifth round and this added to the ghastly slaughter that was going on. Several times the boiler maker from the “Superior City” tried to stave off the blows of Martin and gave his ad- herents a chance to root for him, but the ultimate outcome was the pound- ing in a terrible manner of his face. Ames showed the S. O. S. signs in the fifth round when Martin reached his jaw with bombarding rights, and it was noticeable to those at the ring- side that he was fast 1osing his speed and stamina. The affair came to a close at opening of the eighth round when at the sound of the bell Ames arose and walking across the ring he shook Martin by the hand and Referee ‘Willis announced that he was ready to quit. The announcement was met with a few jeers, but it was sound judgement on part of the defeated who evidently believes 1n the old say- ing that “He who fights and runs away, shall live to fight again some day.” Bill Crowley the man who staged the Young Corbett-Terry Mec- Govern fight, chief second for Ames showed signs of disgust on part of his “man.” When the defeated ‘“pug” left the ring one of the eight handlers had the temerity to stop in front of the press stand and in a deep stentorian tone, he informed his listeners that Ames had broke both his hands, but the verdict of the post mortem was that Martin had broke his heart and made him quit. Referee Willis at the close of the fight when asked for a statement said. “It looks to me like a case of quit.” The Prelim. Two of the most grotesque indi- viduals that ever graced canvass cov- ered floor of a prize ring, styling themselves as Johnny Sullivan (which if anybody by that name ever sees him in a ring traveling under the colors of a fighter will annihilate him) and Kid Green known by the Christian name of Frank Basile. who was one of the chief towel wielders at the thows of a near fight vromoter last winter, but since grad- uated to the ranks of a pug. (It's a shame to do this,) went through the torturous efforts (from a spectators standpoint) of a six round bout, and at the close of the mill it was the agreed opinion that as boxers both of the lads would make excellent blacksmiths. The sporting editor of the Herald will give a prize to the best answer given just what titla to add to the exhibition put up by the “boxers.” Sullivan in some re- spects resembled Bob Fitzsimmons, (he was so much different,) on ac- count of the knock-kneed attitude he assumed while trying to find a place on “Green’s” mush to plant his mighty left. At times the affair reach- ed proportions that were of a side splitting nature. Around the Ring- Some fight. To Manager tions, The fans were well pleased and on their good behavior. Captain Grace and Sergeant Kelly were at the ring, but their services were not needed- Both enjoyed the milling too. The usual number of ‘glugs” got free advertising by the announcement route. All hats are off to Referee John (excuse me Honest John) Willis for the manner in which he handled the mill. All walks in life were represented at the mill, the butcher, the baker and candlestick maker, coming from far and near to see the show. How do you like Hayes (Riley is not his name.) One thing that can be said in Man- ager Walsh's favor is that he -does not consider himself an orator, and keeps away from the ring, thereby sparing the fans of the torturous or- deal of listening to the crude verna- cular such as an alleged fight pro- moter in this city peddles at his “bouts.” Eddie Cowles of the Waterbury ‘‘Herald,” manager of “Wild Bill” Fleming was at the ringside and spoke in flattering terms about the show. Hartford fans rooted hard Sammy Waltz in his bout with Hayes, and were disgusted with the showing of “Red” Ames, Arrangements were completed last evening between Manager Sibberne for Martin and Manager Cowles for “Wild Bill” Fleming for a 12-round bout in this city later in the month. The preliminary will be between Johnny Hayes and Buddy Faulkes of Waterbury: Save up your pennles boys these will be some mills, and be sure and be on hand.

All the greatest racket stars of the coun- try are on hand and many spirited contests have been plaved and many more are scheduled. Maurice Mc- Loughlin. who lost his title to R. Nor- ris Willlams 2d last year at Newport, desires with all the intensity that is in him to win the national singles thig vear. He has the good advice and hearty support of every one of the little band of players from Cal- ifornia who will stick to their great champion. The details of the tourn- ament have received the same care- ful and efficient attention which last vear contributed to make the Davis cup matches at the West Side Tennis club the most stupendous effort that the game had ever known in the warld. The stands seat a total of 7,000 spectators, and it is possible that approximately another thousand may be squeezed in on the field. The challenge match in singles will be played Wednesday, Sept. 8.

Williams, who the crown of the courts at Newport last seascn, is well placed in the up- per half of the draw, which is a trifle stronger than the lower half.

Conditions confronting the clubs mentioned are not exactly the same. Philadelphia has no opponent to beat that is fighting at home all this month. Detroit has. The two main Philly rivals are the Braves and Superbas. But after this week these two also swing West, where they will confront exactly the same conditions. But the Tigers must play a trifle faster on the road than the Red Sox play at home before they can hope to send Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford against Alexander, Rudolph or Coombs some four weeks hence. If the Philllies can lead all the way they will a battle requiring fully as much cour- age as that shown by the Braves last fall. Most people give all credit to the runner that comes from behind. They have nothing to say for the leader who can maintain his lead. Yet it requires just as rare nerve and courage for Moran’s club to protect a scanty lead as it did for the Braves to climb from last place to first. Consider . the case for a brief moment. The Philliles, with a club ranked back in April as a joke, took the lead from the start, but lost it in May. They recovered the top in June, and for nearly three months now, with only a narrow gap between them and the club in second place, they have pounded along. All this time they have heard the hoof beats of s=everal rivals within close range. All this time they have been strug- gling with the pace, fighting off first cne aggressor and then the other, but at no stage have they broken. They have slippeed here and there, but only to rally before they were caught. This takes a lot out of any club. It is more of a strain than that of starting from behind and coming on maintain this than to know that you are on your way while the other contender is slip- ping. Dut to fight on to the front, and then for over three months to know that any sign of faltering will drop you back is a heart breaker of the rarest order. Ask any golfer or any lawn tennis player or any runncr the difference, they will all say that the big strain comes comes in setting and main- taining the pace. And the Philliies haven't one rival only to beat—they have two. The Superbas were tipped to break and drop back as the Pirates the Giants and Cubs did—but they haven't. The Braves were counted out of it three or four times, but they are still coming on and fighting hard—still ready to take advantage of any set- back the Quakertown delegates may receive. The Phillies might figure that one PORT two | furnish | up, for there is no greater nerve tonie | LIGHT Gfén//dnd Rrce of their rivals will soon slip, but it isn’t likely that both will break to- gether. So their chance to win is not through any weakness on the part of their opponents, but through their own ability to continue for another | month as they have been going since June. Out West they meet the same con- ! tenders as the Superbas and the Braves. They will find exactly the same opposition along the route. On the other hand, there will be a great psychological advantage for either Brooklyn or Boston if they can only once reach the top. They can feel that they are com- ing while their rivals are going. The strain of pace setting has not been upon their shoulders—or their battlng oves. And if either ever gets ahead it is 90 cents to a nickel that sald club will travel like the wind the Test of | the way. The Tigers have a better psycholo- gical case than the Phillies. They | ere in the position of the entry who has far more to gain than he has to | lose. They are not being picked to win. Boston is at home in the lead. De- troit is on the road. But a ball club under such conditions, where a big fight is on, often plays better abroad than at home. On the road they are together around the hotel, where they can better continue their machine morale. Tt wag this way for the Tigers on 1909 | and the Glants in 1911. Both fought harder and played far better on the . September road than they had been doing at home. The lure of world's series kale urged them on, and they both went out at top speed every start, fighting to for every foot. Detroit has this disadvantage. The Red Sox are a harder club to beat than any entry in the National league —that is over a - month’s stretch. Their one big chance to fall down will be through over confidence. They Lave the stuff and no club yet has been able to stop them “They are playing almost exactly as they played in 1912, said Eddie Col- lins, recently. “Tha§ is. with fine con- fidence every game and with fine team play. I have never seen the two clubs that looked more alike, and yet Gard- ner is the only 1912 infielder left. It's hard to beat a club when you can't pick out a single weakness. I figure Detroit with a chance, but ouly in case Detroit can go to Buston and take that series. “That meeting will be a for each club will figure that worth about $2,000 to each man. For if Boston falls before Detroit she can hardly flgure any other club to stop the Tigers. It looks to me now as if this series will settle the race.” wonder, it is NEW ENGLAND LEAGUE.
