FIGRTERS ARE READY Expect ‘Where Marvelous Boxing Will Fea- ture. Philadelphia, Pa., July 25.—The 'tage is set, characters cast and every- fhing now in readiness for a fistic Jpattle to be held here tonight entitled o quife as much glamour and pos- ibly more than any other Kkindred |{ttraction offered this vear. It is the lash between Benny Leonard, light- veight champion, and Johnny XKil- ane, king of the featherweights. Of iecessity the contest abbreviated © six rounds, making it a rather &impy course for a real title bout uch as other conditions would war- t. Advance speculations and expert pinfons have covered the conflict 'om practically every possible angle. e consensus is that six rounds of aighly brilliant boxing will be the »utcome, with only a slight chance of iny history making walloping that vill chance the present chart of ring hampions. Few believe that either eonard or Kilbane has even a fleet- ng chance to drop the other for a ount of ten. Too heavy for a feather- veight. Leonard can gain nothing )y knocking out Kilbane. That is, se can make no titular conquest. If J<ilbane lands a knockout, on the pther hand. he of course would ac- imire the lightweight title. In this imited respect the affair will a tle fight. to Witness Contest is be 1] | Chicago 3, Boston 0. | Standing of the Clubs, Lost P.C. 27 .663 43 547 40 .34 0 iR 489 465 434 329 | New York Cincinnati St. Louie .

TIE FOR GOLF HONORS Macfarlane and McLean Tie for First Place in Pro Golfers Association Tourney—To Decide It Friday. New York, July 25.—Willie Mac- farlane of Hudson River and Georze McLean of North Hempstead tied for first place in the annual Professional Golfers Association tournament yes- terday over the links of the Engle- wood Country club. The winning score was 146, a few strokes higher than predicted for first position. Difficulty in negotiation the greens accounted for the scores being on the high side. A stroke away were George Fotheringham and Emmet French while at 148 was a third tie with Tom MacNamara and Jack Ho- bens. The ties will probably be played off at Englewood on Friday, an off day in the schedule of events. There was a goodly quantity of those exciting incidents which always serve to make medal play the great game that it is. Naturally these came near or at the end of the day's golfing. First came Tom MacNa- mara. In the morning he had scored a 76 with a 5 at the last hole, a mat- ter of 160 difficult vards. In the afternoon roumd Tom was left with a 8 for a 72, but another 5 seemed likely when. he topped his tee shot. From a bit of heavy rough he pitched to the green and then pro- ceeded to hole a long one for his 3 and the leadership with 148. WEAVER MAY CLIMB. New Haven, July 25.—That Harry Weaver, king-pin pitcher of th»s Eastern league, will soon become a member of the Chicago club of the National league, was the report cur- rent in local baseball circles last night.

Although Sheckard has made no over- tures to President Collins for the purchase of Weaver it is known that he has recommended him to the club officials at Chicago. It is known ! that Chicago will purchase him out- right rather than take a chance on! him in the draft net.

Joe, gasping with pain, sank to the canvas. MONTE VOLO WINS. Medford. Mass..
