The men are to battle fifteen rounds, and few will bet that the bout will go the limit, as both men are heavy punishers, and a knockout seems sure. Matt Hinkel, the promoter who is putting on the bout, says that he is prepared to offer Jess Willard $50,- | both is | punchers. 000 to meet the winner, and it whispered that Willard likely will ac- cept the offer. It is agreed that Ful- ton and Morris are the best of a none too promising crop of heavy- weights. There are those who say that no matter who wins, Willard’s crown will not be in the slightest danger, as neither of these fighters has shown any of the skill of former champions, although it is agreed that are very strong and hard I ——— e GREEN SOX WIN FINAL.

Pittsburgh, Sept. 7.—Harry Greb of Pittsburgh won a ten-round bout on points over *“Battling” Levinsky of New York at Forbes Field, the Na- tional League bal! park, here last night. New York, Sept. 7—Having crushed the Philiies to all intents and pur- poses in last Wednesday's double- header, the Giants returned to their customary 50-50 twin bill split on the Polo Grounds yesterday. t The Phils landed the first game of a double-header behind Jamie Laven- der’s fine pitching by a score of 5 L 2, and then in the second game the Moran chaps tried to match each Giant run with an error. The Phil- lies lost the contest by one error. Pol- ly Perritt, the handsome Louisianian, carved out his second 7 to 0 shutout of the week. On Labor Day morning Polly of the ball yard daubed thet Braves by this lopsided score. The Phils did their best to make the game uninteresting by building a pyramid of six iuicy errors. The Giants might have preferred a double victory, but an even split was entirely satisfactorily. It kept that ten game lead intact. As for Pat Moran, he clalms a moral victory, so everybody was satisfied., Fitchburg Patrick saw his Phils win a game an ,the Polo &rounds, and for a while the former Cub catcher despaired ot ever seeing such a phenomenon again.
