Ruggles in Sporting News). let poor Jawn alone— they always pick on him— They’re always sneaking up behind to bust him in the glim; They're always doing things to Jawn in ways that are unkind— They never give him half a chance— * they hit him from behind. Gentle Muggsy! Peaceful Muggsy! Dressed to fit the part— Doesen’t know a single word of bill- gate and tart— Never passed the lie at all—gquite the cherubim— Why should rude, unmannered thugs always pick on him? Pacifist from the starter’s gun, all he asks is peace— He never picks a fight at all, but oth- ers never cease; They're always making poor Jawn fight (oh, always in defense!) And so his onward path is thick with fistic incidents. Gentle Muggsy! Peaceful Muggsy! Never likes a fuss— ace with all mankind in g sooth, a €riendly sort of cuss; . He never used the ugly words they said he sald—that's right— But the ofer guy cut loose at him and s@ he had to fight!

Gentle Muggsy! Peaceful Muggsy! When he passes out, At peace at last with all mankind, beyond the din and shout, Along with all the rest of it, upon his tombstone write— “He never won a battle; but he never dodged a fight!” McGRAW CASE SOON, Tener Announces Date of Hearing in “Squakers” Case for Next Friday. New York, July 3.—Airing of the controversy arising out of the John McGraw case in the National league is to take place this week in New York. It was yesterday stated at the league headquarters that President Tener's call for & meeting of the mag- nates to discuss the case will prob- ably be held next Friday. The call was issued for the latter part of this week, and responses thus far recelved indicate that the session will be held next Friday. Independent action by baseball writers is threatened unless the league makes a real attempt to clear the writers of the charge of lying made in the McGraw repudiations —AND AT.

MERIDEN BOUTS TONIGHT Waltz and McCormack Both Confi- dent of Winning—Rocco and Do- herty Battle Should Be Fast. New Britain will send to Meriden this evening, a delegation of fight fans or those who are able to stand watch- ing Sammy Waltz perform, when the much talked of match between the “idol” and Chic McCormack will be staged in the open air at Hanover park. Judging from past perform- ances the bout should prove a fast one. Pete Kingsley who handles the Irish battler is confident that his protege will- deliver the goods, via the K. O. route before the twelfth round puts in its appearance. Kings- ley is the manager who handled Joe Rocco when that gallant little battler wag forced to succumb to the ravages of starvation in order to make weight for the rocquefort champion,” and in consequence went out from a smash on the jaw in the last round at the Lyceum theater two years ago.

Sammy still has his eye on the crown worn by Young McAuliffe, and if he succeeds in beat- ing McCormack, his manager will start at once on the trail of the Park City lad. In the semi-final, Joe Rocco of Hartford and Micky Doherty of New Haven will The management has made the dis- tance eight rounds, but both boys claim that less than this will settie the little argument as to supremacy. In the curtain raiser, Jimmy Welton the sensational Silver City boy who has never met defeat will don the mitts with Young Russell of New York. Dave Fitzgerald will referee the bouts. AL BUCKENBURGER DEAD. July 3.—Al Buckenbur- ger, prominent in professional base- ball circles a decade ago, died here yesterday. He had been manager of the Syracuse and Rochester clubs in the old Eastern league, and also was at the head of the Boston, St. Louls and \Pittsburgh National league clubs, Syracuse, BUT GET FEW RUNS| Baker et al, Amass Filteen' Bingles for Quartet of Tallies Boston, July 3.—The Yankees were obliged to break camp here yesterday* without winning a game out of five | played. Donovan's men averted a final defeat by fighting the world's | champions to an eleven inning 4 to 4 | tie. The Yankee players showed a weak | affense in the earlier games of the | series, but found their batting eyes vesterday, and punched the ball all | over Fenway Park when no one was on base. Old Man Opportunity | knocked at the door of the Yankees | inning after inning, but he seldom was answered. Fifteen hits, three walks and a hit batsman could only | produce four runs in the eleven in- | nings. Fourteen New York players were left on the bases. Frank Baker thumped out a double and three singles, while Elmer Miller, who was placed back in the outfield vesterday, made himself most useful | at bat. He drove in the first run with a single, helped along another with a sacrifice and his base on balls forced in New York’s last run. He opened another inning with a double, but no one could score him. The score: r. h. e New York 01011010000—4 11 1 Boston 03000010000—4 15 1 Batteries—Shore, Bader and Agnew; Mogridge, Shocker, Russell and Nuna- maker. | | Senators Beat Athlet Philadelphia, July 3.—Gallia held Philadelphia to three hits, all of which were made after the sixth in- ning yesterday, and Washington won | the game, 6 to 0. Errors played a | big part in the visitors’ runs. \ Henry made a double and two singles and | drew a base on balls in four trips to the plate. The score: T. h. e. Washington .... 000400101—6 9 3 Philadelphia 000000000—0 3 3 Batteries—Gallia and Henry; Schauer, Johnson and Haley and Mever. Tigers Win in Tenth. St. Louis, Mo., July 3.—Detroit rallied and won from St. Louis in the ; tenth inning by 5 to 4 yesterday. Vitt, Cobb and Veach singled. Vitt was caught napping and was picked off second by Severeid. Heilman sent out a sacrifice fly, scaring Cobb, and Burns tripled, scoring Veach. Rogers tied the score for St. Louis in the seventh with a long single that scored Johnson, who had doubled. St. Louis got four doubles off Dauss, each of which figured in the scar- ing. Detroit took four of the six games of the series. The score: r. h 0011001002—5 9 . 0001002001—4 9 and Stanage; Detroit St. Louis Batteries—Dauss Rogers and Severeid. e 1 3 ‘White Sox in Front. Cleveland, Ohio, July 3.—Chicago took the last game of the series from Cleveland yesterday by 4 to 3. Lack | of control by Lambeth, following Boehling’s ineffectiveness in the second inning gave Chicago its four runs. Poor base running prevented Cleveland from tying the score in the sixth. The game was called in the seventh inning to let the Cleveland club catch a train for St. Louis. The score: r. h e. 0400000—4 6 2 Cleveland . 2000010—3 7 0 Batteries—Dandorth, Faber and Lynn: Boehling, Klepfer, Morton and O'Neil. HANS FINE RECORD Pirates “Grand Old Man” After Twen- Chicago ty Years' Service Can Boast of Grand Batting Average of 339, Hans Wagner, acting manager of Pittsburgh, participated in 123 games last season. He made 124 hits and forty-five runs. The flving Dutch- man had an average of .287, which is precisely 10 points better than hi«! j batting mark of 1916. His safe wal- lops for 1916 netted him thirty-six | extra bases, for he was credited with one home run, nine triples and fifteen doubles. The famous shortstop's performance for the entire twenty vears is shown by a glance at his grand totals for this length of time. He has been at bat 10,198 times, and his safe swats foot up to 3,369. Thus consistent battle for eight rounds. | he can boast of a grand average of .330, In spite of the fact that his last three campaigns have found him be- | low the coveted .300 mark. Another interesting fact is dis- closed by the records. Hans still has the distinction of having regis- tered a fraction more than one hit a game for his score of years in the National league. He has played iu 2,722 games. This meuns that he has placed almost flve drlves in sat: territory in each of his four games on an average. Thus it is seen that baseball's grand old patriarch continues to up- hold his unique record for rellability. While he is naturally proud of his dazzling dlamond achievement, Wag- ner plays ball for results and not for glory. He clouted in the .300 class the largest part of last season, but late in the race a series of injuries got the better of him, and he fell into a slump which took him down below the triple century mark at which every batsman aims. l ! ing assisted - - - - - - - By Briggs. ||YANKEES HIT OFTEN |BRAVES' PLAYERS | FINED BY TENER| Magee and Tragresser Assessed For Rowdy Tactics New York, July 3.—The Giants | tacked another game on their lead, vesterday by defeating Boston on the Polo Grounds while the Phillies were absorbing more punishment in Brool. Iyn. The Braves put up a feeble re- sistance in the last tiff of the set, the }| score being 6 to 1. They hit like an aggregation of schoolboys against | Fred Anderson, while Franklin Allen could do nothing with a private up- rising by Heinle Zimmermar. Hein- Tich tore off two doubles and a single, which directly were responsible for five runs. The Giants won the series ' four games to one, * President Tener plastered a fine of $25 on Sherwood Magee and an- other for $50 on Walter Tragressor for their rowdy tactics of last Friday } and Saturday. Pursuing the tactics of | a well known manager these “sports- men" stayed off the umpires yesterdag and fired their vitriol into the press stand. It was the first time in many years the press stand had been sub- jected to fire from the playing field. The score: i . h. €. Boston 000000010—1 6 2. New York . . 00401010*—6 12 0! Batteries—Allen, Hughes and Tra- { gresser; Anderson and Rariden, Bender Back in Game. « Brooklyn, July 3.—Follawing their taking five out of seven games from the Braves the Dodgers made it four out of six games from the Phillies by capturing the final conflict of the series with the Clan Moran at Ebbets Field vesterday by 7 to 3. It was the first series the Phillies lost since May 31. Joe Oeschger, who held the Dadgers to three hits last Thursday, was hammered all over Flatbush. His rescuer, Chief Bender, also got a drub- bing. Larry Cheney was effective till the fifth, when he issued three passes and emitted a wild pitch. Sherrod Smith was called in with one out and men on second and third. The Dodger southpaw retired the side with one pitched ball, Whitted hammering into a pretty double play, ‘Mowrey- to Myers. The score: r. h. e. 000110001—3 9 4 Brooklyn 01300102*—7 13 1 Batteries—Oeschger, Bender and Killifer; Cheney, Smith and Miller, Philadelphia e ‘ Doyle Is Injured. Chicago, July 3.—Cincinnati de- feated Chicago by 8 to 5 in a ragged game yesterday. Each club erred fre- quently, and several freak plays oc- curred, one of which gave Merkle a home run on a short hit to left, whicl¥ bounded off Thorpe’'s shoe and went under the fence. Doyle turned an ankle rounding first base in the first | inning “and had to retire from the game. The score: h. e. 100131020—8 156 § Chicago 102020000—5 9 4 Regan and Wingo; Prendergast, Reuther, Seaton, Douglas and Elliott. o Cincinnati Pirates Drop Another. Pittsburgh, July 3.—Pittsburgh’s poor fielding and the ease with which Mamaux was hit gave St. Louis yess terday’s game by 6 to 4. ) After St. Louis had made six runs on eight hits and four bases on balls Grimes was substituted for Mamaux and stopped the scoring. King's bat- ting was a feature. He hit safely each of four times at bat and drove in three runs. The score: h. e. 013020000—6 10 1 Pittsburgh 000002020—4 6 3 Hartman, Packard and Gonzales; Mamaux, Grimes and Wagner.

The visitors had the better of the argu- ment all the way and snappy field- them in stranding 13 New London men on the sacks, Trautman kept the ten hits scattered. Fortune was relieved in the first of the seventh when Fish was used as+ a pinch hitter. It broke New Lon- don’s winning streak of last week.

Canavan, pitching for the Lawrence, lost what- chance his temn may have had by poor fielding plays. Lawrence made its two runs in the first in- ning by a honie run by Murphy with Schreiber on second.
