28§ ~ BROOKLYN FANS GIVE 1 MATTY WELCOME Twenty Thousand Fans Turn i Out to Watch Reds and Superbas Divide. - MARQUARD OUT OF BOX Tdngle for Title Saturday Eigh! Brooklyn, July 29.—Approximately Eig 20,000 Brooklyn fans welcomed Man- ager Christy Mathewson and his Cin- s cinnati team to Ebbet's field today 3 and saw the Reds break even with the Superbas, the visitors winning the first game, 6 to 1, and losing the sec- ond, 3 to 2. Schneider in the opening game held the National league leaders to three hits, two of which were bunched in the second inning for their lone run. 2 Marquard was batted nut of the box in five innings.

The real answer probably is that a scheme is under way to stall off adverse criti cism of the one-sided affair which is to be pulled off at the close of the circus season, As the matter stands, no one ex- cept the two fighters and their back- ers wants this match, which looks to be no more promising now than it did last year at New Orleans, Something must be done to pull the wool over the eyes of the public or the match will be llurhed out of existence again a8 it was last spring and this is it. If Fulton were in earnest and really believes that he had a chance of rlimn( something more than a fat oser’s end, he would spend the sum- mer months disposing of some of the live contenders, so that when Wil- lard's hands are free in the fall he would be in a position to demand the match as his right. But nothing is more clear than that Fulton has no idea of attacking a good man. Al- tholfih there are at least four heavy- weights whose records are by long odds better than Fulton's none of them is thought to be a fair match for the champion, so it is hard to see where he come: According to Fulton, Harry Sher- man, the Minneapolis promoter, of- fered a purse of $50,000 for the bout. |46 0§ this sum Fulton would have re- ceived one-third, which explains his desire to enter the ring with the champion. One-third of $50,000 is more money than Fulton is likely to earn in a year boxing sttups of the type of those who adorn his record, gelidel. Willard might sprain his an- kle or break an arm during the bout and be compelled to forfeit the title, Boston Takes Both stron,| Standing of Teams ‘WEST. LEAUGE. NAT. LEAGUE.

OLD MAN WAGNER STILL HOLDS ON Veteran Honus, In Forty-third Year, Continues to Keep Up With Major League Pace, REAL BASE BALL WONDER (% New York, July 29,—Wagner, in his forty-third year and twentieth in uni- form, betokens no going back or slip of the veteran to date. He still has an eye for the ball, evidenced by his improved stickwork in 1915, when he batted .276 and gained twenty points over 1914, His record, when he batted .300 or over for seventeen con- secutive years, was surpassed only by Captain Anson, and a big part of that hitting was not in the National league. Six other great hitters trailed Wag- ner in consecutive batting. They are Dan Brouthers, Willie Keller, Hugh Duffy, Jessie Burkett and Ty Cobb. Wagner's sensational fielding has brought fans into frenzies. The Dutchman covers ground wonder- fully, Business Manager Shettsline of the Phillies told of a play by Wagner on the Phillies’ grounds and calls it the greatest he ever saw. One man was out and the Phils a run behind. With Magee on, Honus played for the plate, Lobert hit a fly twenty feet behind second. Wagner scooted back; he couldn’t turn and the ball arched itself in front of him. But he ran with the ball that he could not see. The great base ball instinct that directs his every move took him to the spot and he stretched out his hand. The ball fell in his grasp and he turned a complete somersault, but held the ball. Magee was twenty feet down the line, but seeing’ Wag- ner's arm poised for a throw, he re- treated and scampered back to third, for the Dutchman’s throw was as true as a die. The ball traveled on a line and went straight to the plate in Gib- by's mitt. He threw from a sitting posture and the catch was made blindly. Chief Meyers’ Tale. Chief Meyers relates a thrilling play in New York in 1911, Devlin was on second, Meyers up and a new white ball in play. Meyers streaked one like lightning past third. Scoot- ing in leng strides, Honus dived, smothered the ball in his.glove and threw it back-handed and blindly square in Byrne's glove. Devlin slid into the ball. s ; “Most dazzling fielding stunt in the game's history, and there'll never be another Wagner,” said Meyers- A lot of amusement grew out of the story that Matty watches the feet of Honus, when he pitches. - Honus was cartooned in many amusing batting postures. They had his big, brogans concealed in wash boilers, paper bags, burlap bags and every known creation. As Honus went to his feet.” ¥ Honus wiggled his left heel amus- ingly at the crowd and 15,000 Gotham game lovers roared with laughter. Matty got Honus in a hole. The ball shot like a cannon ball and banged a sigh in deep left, three feet from the top of the fence. The ball came near going into Eighth avenue, and this would have made a world’s record, as it never had been done. Les Darcy Is Not Coming to America New York, July 29.—Less Darcy the Australian champion and sensa- tion of the boxing game, will not meet an American fighter on American soil until the European war is over. Tucked in his jeans are tickets for his passage to this country, but it is learned from fack Kearns, the San Francisco manager, who was to han- dle the great Australian in this coun- try, that he will not come right away, and the real reason will not be known until the Sonoma, the boat on which Darcy was to have sailed, reaches this country. “I have just received a cable from Darcy,” writes Kearns, “that it is im- possible for him to leave the country at this time, He was to have sailed on the Sonoma on June 21, but it was probably the military conditions, which hold all Australians between the ages of 18 and 45, from leaving their country. “Darcy first cabled me that he could arrange to_get away, and so I fixed it up with Harry Pollok, the er {of the Washington Park Shooting jciub of Brooklyn, to get the great fighter here to meet Jack Dillon.

Faber, starting his first game since his illness, laid him up six weeks ago, pitched a great game, the Ath- letics’ only run coming on Walsh’s double and Strunk's single. : In the second game all the White Sox runs were earned by bunching hits off Bush.

IT IS GOOD ADVERTISING New York, July 29.—Freddie Welsh is becoming more shameless every day. His latest offense was to match himself with that old relic of the ring who flourished when Terry McGovern still was fighting in good form, Tom- my Murphy. Thig bears out the opinion that Welsh deliberately goes out of his way to look for roasts. Adverse criticism is the only kind of advertising Welsh can hope for, so the more he roasted the better he is pleased. The only thing he fears is that he will be forgotten and not receive any mention whatever. Welsh is not the only fighter who finds it profitable to be unpopular, but he is the only genuine champion who has been forced to descend to such methods. Al McCoy, while not a regular champion, .makes capital out of his ludicrous attempts to act like one, the fans always turning out in the hope of seeing the pretender flattened for the full count. . Welsh probably has no idea of go- ing through with the Murphy affair. He knows very well it would not draw enough to pay for the preliminary bouts. Welsh’s object ma{ be to stir uj ocal bout wit Benny Leonard. Judging by the press stuff that has been sent out from the headquarters of late the way is being paved for another no-decision affair. There is no doubt that Welsh fears Leonard as an opponent in a decision_bout, but there seems to be no particular reason why he should advertise the fatc unless it is to in- crease the receipts when they meet at Washington park in the near future. Mystery Around Bout. There was a great deal of mystery connected with the proposed match between these men which was sched- uled a few weeks ago. When Leon- ard tried to call it off on the ground that he was matched with Johnny Dundee, Welsh’s manager appeared before the boxing commission and obtained a ruling in his favor. Yet Welsh evidently had no idea of fight- ing, for he never did a day’s training and was in such poor shape that he probably would have been knocked out if he had gone on. It was also clear that the bout would have been a financial failure, because it was billed for the same week as the Leonard-Dundee match at the Madison Square Garden. The club continued to advertise the bout right up to the day of the Dundee affair, and then immediately loJt in- terest and let the matter drop. It looked as though some one was vent- ing his spite against the Garden club. After the Dundee bout Leonard’s manager tried to force Welsh to go through with his agreement, but this time the boxing solons were looking out the window and iilson received no encouragement. It was a remark- able reversal of form and no explana- tion has as yet been offered to clear up the mystery as to what was actual- ly going on under the surface. Setback for Boston In the Pennant Race Detroit, July 29.—Boston suffered something of a setback in the pennant fight today when Detroit took both games of a double-header, 10 to 8 and 7 to 3. The first game was a free hitting contest in which Ruth, Wyckoff and Coveleskie were knocked out. Leonard 4/} suffered the same fate in the second game. Both teams fielded well.
