New TYork, Sept. nested on the pennant flag pole and twittered from the rafters of the Polo Grounds today while John McGraw sat in his dugout and speculated upon the visitation. Wilbert, the round robin, led his band upon the green turf of the fleld yesterday to the roof- ralsing yells of thousands of Brooklyn fans who had journeyed across the famous bridge to see the econd game of the little world's series. Dazzy Vance, cock robin of the round-the-league filers stepped upon the mound and threw the fastest ball in captivity at the Giant army assembled for a final stand beneath historic Coogan's Bluff; and if neither Brooklyn nor New York witnesses a world's series next month, the 40,000 spec- tators at yesterday's battle will not have been entirely deprived of its thrill.

MARGE Weleee /TEL\_ THE WORLD I'm IN THE PINK \/_/ s TRE CoaL MmAN Here ! : HINDS KILLED- IN HORSE RAGE Driver Had Just Paid Tribute to Gegrs Memory —— Syracyse, N. Y, Septi 9.—In full view of several thousand persons who but an hour before had bared their heads and paid silent tribute to Edward F. (“Pop™) Geers, veter- an driver killed last week on a southern track, Tommy Hinds, him- self a veteran of grand circuit rac- ing, was thrown to his death in a collision between sulkies on the race track at the New York state fair ground here yesterday. Hat in hand, with his head bowed, Hinds had been one of the grand efrcuit drivers here for the opening day who stood in front of theé grand stand to observe a moment of silence in’ memory of one whom most of them had known as a close friend and companion. The brief tribute over, he had res mained with the others to hear Lieutenapt Governor George R. Lunn recall outstanding events in Geers' life. Then, as he swung around the one-cighth mile turn of the track guiding Bonnie Delico a leading po- sition, his sulky collided with Tom- my Murphy's Clyde the Great, and Hinds was thrown headlong over the wreckage. He fell on his head and right shoulder, fracturing his skull in the fall, physicians believed. Hinds was about 62 years old and a native of Goshen, N, Y. He had been a racing driver for at lcast years, according to state fair offici- als, and was rated as one of the leading drivers on grand circuit tracks.

Y., Sept, 9.— “Abe" Goldstein, world's bant welght champion successfully de- fended his title in a furious 16-round match last night against Tommy Ryan of McKeesport, Pa., at the Queensboro A, C. The challenger narrowly escaped a knockout in the 18th round. d Goldstein had a wide margin on his opponent after the seventh round, previous to this the titiehold- er fought more of a defensive fight, working under wraps and concealing the attack that later carried him to a sweeping victory. Near Knockout In the 13th round Goldstein, work- ing from long range, swung his bat- tery of rights and lefts Into action and drove the reeling Ryan about the ring, punch drunky and on the verge of a knockout. Again in the 15th round it looked like the shades for Ryan, but he gamely mustered enough resistance to weather the storm and remain upright until the bell. Goldstein last night looked far better than he did against Charlie Ledoux, the French flash, when the iwo met at the Velodrome A, C. carlier in the summer, Naturally a strong defensive fight- er, Goldstein appeared last night as though he could force Ryan to carry all of the fight to him but after the enth he threw off the shackles of reserve that had , punctuated his fighting up to this point and with a two-fisted attack bore into the fight- ing Ryan and almost swept him off lis feet by the furiousness of his at- tack. Ryan Game But Ryan was game. A shorter reach than his opponent and a far shorter body handicapped Ryan to some extent but despite this he wad- ed into the champion, endeavoring to get inside and score from close range, But Goldstein had other plans and from his distant position he jabbad Ryan into submission and then crossed his terrific right which all but knocked the McKeesport boy for the count. Goldstein weighed 116% and Ryan secaled 117 Preliminary Fight “Bushie” Graham, Utica bantam, won aon a foul from Jack Snyder of New York in the eighth round of the semi-final to the Goldstein-Ryan bantamweight championship.
