Starting Saturday night from the French side the American landed near St. Mar- garet's Bay. He had been in the water 16 hours and 40 minutes. Toth will not receive the 1000 pounds offered by the Daily Sketch for the man making the swim, this offer having expired Sept. 7. He said heée made the attempt “just to prove to the folks back home that I could do it.” Charles Burgess, the English swim- mer who was the first man after Capt. Matthew Webb to swim the channel, accompanied Toth in his successful effort. When Toth turned up in Dover first real meal he had had since din- ing in France Saturday night. He made the greater part of his swim during the night, and was the third American to conquer the channel this summer. The other two men were Henry Sullivan of Lowell, Mass.,, and Enrique Tiraboceli, an Argentine. Is a Hard Trip. This ‘method of travel between France and England will never be a popular one, according to Toth, who declared when heé landed on the beach near here, that it wasn't an en- joyable way to spend the week-end. He added that he was feeling pretty well tired out. When Sullivan swam the channel only last month, and when Tirabecchi | repeated the performance the follow- |ing week, there was a man on the | beach waiting to hand them a check for 1,000 pounds. Toth, however, will not get anything out of it but | glory, unless some unexpected bene- | factor comes forward. It was 6:56 o'clock Saturday eve- ning when Toth plunged into the | channel at Cape Gris-Nez, France, | terday morning when he reached the |shore of England. He took only a few minutes more than required by | irabocchi'in his record making spurt | cross the choppy sea. Like Tira- | bocchi, Toth was lucky., He touched | the bottom at the extreme edge of the | little point of land separating Cape| | Margaret's Bay from Kings Down.| Had he missed this point by even a | | few yards he would have had to keep | going with his steady trudgeon stroke several miles farther along the coast to find a spot to land. As it was he | had only a strip of land a yard wide to stand on. Back of him was water, and in front rose a high cliff. Burgess Pilot, | Burgess acted as Toth's pilot and | adviser throughoul the swim, and joined the American in the water during the last two miles, To the advice of the English veteran Toth | attributes no small part of his suc- | cess, { Sullivan was one of the first per- | | sons to greet his compatriot after Toth had recovered his breath in the | engine room of the tug which had | accompanied him across the channel. | Burgess and Sullivan teok Toth in| hand on board the tug and scraped | several pounds of lard off his body | | which had been rubbed on him before he started, to ward off cold. On landing Burgess and Sullivan took Toth to a place where he could get a bath and something to eat. He rather badly in need of | both When his appetite had been satisfied the Bostonian strolled out on | the street and walked hom« He was | unaccompanied, unheralded and un- sung at first, but shortly afterward he was recognized by persons who | cheered him.

The Pirates won the city league championship Saturday afternoon when they defeated the Fafnir nine 5 to 8, in a fast and exciting game that was not decided until the very finish. Both Tommy Blanchard and 8lim Politis pitched great ball and the support given both was satisfac- tory. It was little Butsey Hall with his big bat that broke up the game, however, when in the eighth inning, with Politis and Schmitt on the sacks, he clouted the ball on the nose and it soared into deep left-right for a two bagger. The Pirates scored in the initial stanza when Johnny Sheehan walked after one was down. He took second on a passed ball and scored on Har- old Weir's triple to pight. Beagle was out to Al Blanchard. The Fafnirs broke into the tally column in the second after two were out. Tommy Blanchard| hit a long fly into right field that Conway mis- judged and it went for a three bag- ger. Benny Snppith then pounded a corking two bagger and Tom raced home. . Smith’s ¢i:eat Throw. In the fifth inning Jasper singled over second for the Pirates and all were safe when Barnett threw a trifie wild to first and Morelli was allowed to remain on the bag on a close de- clsion. Barnett's throw, which went for an error, was hurried when he threw quickly after starting to throw to second for a double but Schade was not on the bhag, having been down toward first to cover that bag in case of a bunt. Johnny Sheehan then hit and two runs scored. Weir hit safely and there were two on. Beagle then hit a screeching single into right fleld, but Benny Smith was right on the job. He retrieved the ball cleanly —— (Continued on Following Page) 'MURPHY TAKES THIRD IN ITALIAN_ GRAND PRIX RACE Salamano, Italian Driver, Winner of Classic, Which is Started by Premier Mussolini, Monza, Italy, Sept. 10.—Salamano, | an Italian driver, yesterday won the Grand Prix automobile race. I[elice Nazzaro was second and Jimmy Mur- phy, United States, was third. Salamano’s time was 5 hours 27 minutes 38 seconds. That of Nazzaro was 5 hours 28 minutes 12 seconds, and that of Murphy & minutes 51 geconds. Premier Mussolini started the 14 machines in the race in the presence of a quarter of a milion spectators. Salamano and Nazzaro drove Fiat cars and Murphy a Miller. Bordino, piloting a Fiat, took the lead immediately the pistol sent the racers away.

He sald that in his Jjudgment Dempsey was not the fight- er he was when he defeated Jess Wil- lard bnt despite that, still was good enough to conquer Firpo. Concerning Firpo By The, Associated Press. Atlantic City, Sept, 10,—Luis Angel Firpo today entered upon the last three days of preparation for his world’'s heavyweight title match with Jack Dempsey to be held in New York next I'riday night. A The . Argentine fighter has set the world to scratching its head, guessing what he will do when he meets the titicholder. In.his daily workouts Yuis Angel has been a puzzle. He has shown € improvement in some braonches of the fistic game and. at yoke of oxen drawing a heavy load over a mountain trail. He has attempted to improve his boxing; he has worked hard trying a develop a left hand punch. He has labored hours’ with defensive plans. He has battered his sparring partners on certain days; on others he has been an easy mark to hit. He has been hit hard at times, but not one blow seemed to have hurt him. Some of his friends says he is not a boxer, and perhaps never will be, but that he will best Dempsey. Firpo says nothing one way or'an- other. But that he has confidence in his ability to take what Dempsey sends and stand under it is written on his countenance. i How Willard Fell By The Associated Press.

Nothing less than a baseball miracle can prevent Paddy O'Connor from innnlln( his Senators to the pennant and the honor of representing the merger circuit In the series with the Baltimore club. Hartford today has |a five-game lead over the Travelers with only two more weeks before the final curtain descends, | Hartford has 13 more games to | play before completing its schedule, | New Haven has 15 more contests. 1f Hartford wins eight ef its remaining | games New Haven can not win, If Hartford can win seven of the 13 games—and this is a pace '‘much slower than the Senators have been | setting—~then New Haven must win | 14 out of its 15 games to capture the flag and that is almost a baseball im- | possibility. If Hartford wins six of its games New "Haven must win 13 of the 15 | left in order to repeat. If the Sena- |tors win but five games during the rest of the season the Travelers must win 12 of their battles.
