The American leaguc p; have bheen #taging a pretty race, while those in the National are even closer—s close, in fact, that three other dun- gerous teams are being overlooked, The National league chase is in fuch a tangle today that only five games separate the Iu..gm.-mmmg; Glants from the fifth-place Ditts. burgh Pirates.

Since turning professional, the ex-sailor has lost one other decision—to old —and recently, in a return bout, Schaat defeated Mays, So Peterson now holds the only black mark against Schaaf’s record. Sharkey, who was e met Peterson tonight, was forced out of the bout when he injured his left knee as he compl trafning in New York late Tuesday.
