O., Aug. 18.—Walter Cox drove three winners at the North Ran- dall Grand Circuit miceting and inci- dentally drove one prohibitive favorite Mabel Trask to defeat in the feature event of the card yesterday. This race, the battle royal for trot- ters with records of 2:06 or better, was supposed to be all sewed up for Mabel Trask, but Pop Geers, with St. Frisco, started his drive earlier than usual in each of the two miles and gained such a lead the Trask horse could not make it up. In the three-year-ald pacing stake Cox drove a winner in Rev de Forest, although he was given hot compet!- tion’ by McDonald, driving Sign. Again, in the 2:09 pace, Cox grabbed first money with little Batice, easily defeating Tommy Direct, the favorite. In the 2:19 trof Cox made his third win, sending Lu Princeton to the front in three straight heats. The 2:05 pace was a hot battle, al- though Little Frank D., pilated by Valentine, won in straight heats. In- ! cidentally Little Frank D. was an out- sider, the favorite, Young Todd, not even finishing withi nthe money. ither sentiment nor artistic tem- ment. They care nothing for nce of competition.

New York, Aug. 18.—Lee Johnson, the negro boxer, knocked out Ray West in the second round at the Van- derbilt A. C., in Brooklyn last night. A left hook to the jaw sent West into slumberland. The hout between Dutch Brandt and Youg Limbo ended in a near riot. Both boys had been roughing it throughout and refused to stop fighting when the bell rang at the end of the seventh round. The seconds of both men jumped into the ring and fists were flying in all directions. When quiet was re- stored the referee disqualified Limbo, as Brandt said he bit him.

Although Hornsby dropped to ! fourth pace in batting he continued to | share with Roush the lead fo rtotal bases ,each having 182. Robertson of | New York has worked up a triple tie for home run honors with Hornsby and Cravath of Philadelphia. They are “all square” with eight. Wil- liams and Déyle, both of Chiacgo, each added another hit to 'his credit and continued in a tie 23. Burns of New York increased his lead as a run getter to 76, and Carey of Pittsburgh 82. Cincinnati again has broken the tie for team batting with .267 and is leading New York by two points.

Ty Cobb’s mark of .385, with which he was leading the American league batters last week, has remaincd un- changed. Likewise Tris Speaker's average remained unchanged at .351.

And for'the Third Time Her Con- queror Is Miss Browne. Boston, Aug. 18— Mi Mary Browne of California defeated Miss Molla Bjurstedt of Norway, ‘the na- tional champion, stralght sets, in the final round of the women'’s singles, at the national patriotic doubles lawn tennis tournament at the Longwood Cricket Club yesterday. It was the third straight victory Miss Browne has scored over the na- tional champion this season. Miss Bjurstedt for the most part stayed in the back court, depending on her powenful forehand drives. and | speed, while Miss Browne went to the net frequently and played a far more varied game than her opponent. For a while it seemed as if Miss Browne would be unequal to pulling out the second set, for her exertions in told on her greatly, but she gathered herself together and decided the match with a few sharp rallies at the net. LEWIS OUTPOINTS 0°DOWD Welterweight Champion Shows Signs of Mike's Aggressivencss Before Bout Is Over But Captures Honors. New York, Aug. 18.—Ted (Kid) Lewis, welterweight champion of the world, had a lead over Mike O'Dowd, of St. Paul, in a rip-tearing ten-round bout at the St. Nicholas Rink last night. Although he weighed 144 3-4 to O’Dowd’s 156, Ted many. times stood toe to toe and slugged with a wvim. The champion earned the honors by cleaner hitting, and Mike's left eye was bleeding in the last two rounds, but he was always forcing, and in a longer bout it might have been a dif- ferent story. In the first three rounds Lewis boxed rings around O'Dowd, sending snappy left jabs to jaw and whipping swishing right uppercuts to the as Mike rushed in, head down But O'Dowd was in a quarrelsome mood, and acted like a very rough citizen in the clinches. Nobody could accuse Mike of not putting up a “heady” fight. His billet head was jaw always nestling under Ted’s head, and | in the last half of the bout the wel- ter champion began to show the wear- ing effects of this treatment. The fourth was even, and the third was O'Dowd. The St. Paul batter got in several damaging rights to Ted's body, and Lewis paled under the pun- ishment. O’Dowd’'s weight began to tell in the latter rounds, and ,Mike was a fighting demon at this stage, ever boring in and challenging Lewis to stand up and slug with him.

In celebra- tion of the day there was the, Red Cross Handicap of a mile, and the entries that were sent out overnight promised a real good race, but of the eight horses named six were scratched. and it only became a three- horse race when Willis Sharpe Kil- mer added his good three-year-old Tom McTaggart. This proved a sensible move on the part of Mr. Kilmer, for Tom easily beat Wilfred Viau’s recent pur- chase Westy Hogan and H. Perkins’ Dick Willilams. As a feature it did not amount to much after such horses as Roamer, Manager Waite, Queen Errant, Gillies, Crimper and King Herod had been withdrawn, but it served to give a new line on both Westy Hogan and Tom McTaggart. ‘Westy Hogan was the one to cut out the running, but Schuttinger, who had the mount on Tom McTaggart, never permitted him to get far away, and then' at the head of the stretch he made a winning run at the Viau colt and through the stretch it was easy for him to come away. Dick ‘Williams ran one of his dull races and he was lenths out of it all the way. The steeplechase of the afternoon was won by Mrs. T. J. Donohue's The Brook and the place went to Wolferton II. Samuel D. .Riddle's jumper was only in the place because Med. Henderson carelessly eased up Morton L. Schwartz’s Great Hill when that end of the purse was easy for him. It was only a careless mistake, but Henderson paid dearly for it when he was suspended for the rest of the Saratoga meeting by the Stew- ards. There were two run-ups during the afternoon. After Reveller had won the opening dash for two-year-olds he was boosted from his entered price of $800 to $1,500 by J. M. Henry, Jr., but he was bought in for the Glen- Riddles Farm stables by Billy Kar- rick for $1,606. The other run-up came in the last race of the day, when W. R. Mizell's Dan was car- ried from $800 to $1,000 by E. Dell- ing, but he, too, was protected and bought in. TERN LEAGUE. Results Yesterday. New London 1, Worcester 1, (5 in- nings, rain.)
