They were beaten 7 to 3 by the Tigers and lost a full game in the race, for the champions won from Washington. A defeat at this time hurts though it is not mortal, and he Yanks were eager to come east ahead of practically tied with the In- dians. Yesterday's defeat spoiled that. Cole, a left hander, who is exper- iencing a winning streak, was hit harshly by the Yanks, but his support saved him half a dozen times and he had no costly wild spells§ as did the New York pitchers. Hoyt and Quinn have mostly themselves to blame for at least 5 Detroit runs. Hoyt bunched his wildness in the first inning when he walked two batters and hit one and forced two runs in. Quinn walked a batter and hit one in the sixth, when the Tigers made three more runs. The score: Peckinpaugh, ss .. Ruth, If . Meusel, rf . Pipp, 1b . Ward, 2b ¢ McNally, 3b .

The collection of pugilistic bric-a-brac which will be on display in- cludes Johnny Wilson, world’s middle- weight champion; Johnny Buff, Ameri- can flyweight titleholder; Mike McTigue who holds the Irish and Canadian mid- dleweight titles, and Panama Joe Gans, holder of the Rickard belt emblematic of the middleweight championship of the colored race. Wilson will engage in a return bout against Bryan Downey, Columbus mid- dleweight, who is claiming the Boston boxer’s title on the strength of their recent bout in Cleveland. The contest will be for twelve rounds, without an official decision. Promoter Rickard is confident, however, that the length or the bout will prove ample for ome or the other of the principals to demon- strate his superiority. This bout has been arranged at the middleweight limit, 160 pounds six hours before the time of entering the ring. Promoter Rickard has demanded of each boxer forfeits of $5.000 to guar- antee weight and appearance. Rickard is taking precautions against a repeu- tion of the dissatisfaction and unpleas- antness which was an outgrowth of the last bout between Wilson and Downey at Cleveland. Under the laws govern- ing boxing in New Jersey, the state boxing commission selects the referee: for all bouts held under its jurisdiction.
