W YORK, Sept. 26.—Travis Jackson is the most remarkable young ball player developed in the majors this year.” There you have the opinion of | Hughey Jennings, assistant to Man- ager John McGraw of the New York Giants, It is some compliment, com- ing from so able a critic as Jennings. Travis Jackson ix the young in- fielder who has proved such a val- uable man for the New York Giants this year. To Jackson perhaps, more than any other player on the club, should go the honor of keeping the Giants in the race, When Dave Bancroft, star short- stop of the Giants, wan forced out of TRAVIS JACKSON PROVES VALUABLE TO CHAMPIONS Giants were out of it. No position is harder to fill. To ask some young- ster to plug up the gap made by the departure of a star like Bancroft from the lineup, seemed to be asking too much Jackson stepped right in and filled the bill, despite the fact that he has had only about a year's experience in professional ball. While he didn't do as well as Bancroft probably would have done, still he played a great game for an untried recruit, Since the return of Bancroft he has filled in at third for the ailing Groh, and also has played second in anumber of games, His work for the Giants in a pinch certainly bears out the lineup for over two months be- cause of illness, it was figured the the nice things that Jennings says about him, ) 260 HOURS’ study mastering the prineiples of Automo- bile construction and op- eration. 120 HOURS tak- Ing apart and assembling the various units of the Automobile, 120 HOURS working with the various types of Auto Bleetrical Equipment. 175 HOURS op- erating, Individually, Dri Preases, Lathes and Grinders MA in-5206 BE A TRAINED AUTOMOTIVE MECHANIC What We Offer and What You Get: as used in Auto repair. 180 HOURS of actual Auto- mobile repairing under the supervision of a trained inwtructor who teaches you Systematic Trouble Shooting and ‘Timo Saving Methods, United Y.

BY HENRY L, FARRELL N** YORK, Sept. 26.-—America’s equine star that will carry the colors againat Engtish derby winner, Papyrus, the interna ional championship race at Bel mont on October 20, probably will not be named until October 6. The arrangements entered into between the American racing officials and Ben Irish, owner of the British horne, provide that the American entry does not have to be» named until two weeks before the race. Tie committee of the Jockey club, icked to name the American color bearer, is fucing several difficulties and probably will wait just as long am possible to chdose between Zev, the Rancocas star, and Admiral Grayson's My Own, On the public yote Zey probably would be the overwhelming cholce to run against the British horse as export opinion regards the Rancocas the in three-year-old as the class of the year: Since Zev was injured in the Lawrence Realization stakes, the of- ficials have doubts, however, that he will be sound enough to run according to his form. To settle some doubts expressed that Zev is better than My Own, the officials wanted to stage. a match race between the pair, thiy plan had to be abandoned when Sam Hildreth, trainer of the Rancocas stables, refused flatly to allow Zev to enter such a race. Hildreth taken the position that Zev has established hia claim to the three-year-old championship beyond all doubts and he maintained that he could not “point” him for a match race and keep him on edge for the big international race. Papyrus, the British horse, is now in mid-ocean on the Aquitanta, Wireless messages received from the liner indicate that some very rough weather has been encountered but that the derby winner bas been standing the trip well Bar Gold, the stable pal of Papy rus, making the trip as a com- panion, has been thrown off feed and nearly all of the stable boys have been seasick, according to the messages. In a message to officials of the Westchester Racing association, Basil Jarvis, trainer of Papyrus, said his charge was doing very well and he felt sure that he would no ill effects from suffer the trip.

However, Slade resorted to the Newspapers, and after many articles had been published dealing with the Proposed fight, he came out with the announcement that he would give $100 and all the gate receipts if I would stand up four rounds with him, We immediately accepted and the bout was held at the Walker opera house, in Salt Lake City. I not only stayed the four rounds with him, but the referee declared me the winner, Slade, at the conclusion of the Scrap, announced from the stage that he had been fairly beaten, but that he would fight me to a finish with two and one-half-ounce gloves for $500 a side and the gate, which we accepted.

Then Dr, Benedict attended him, ap- plied restoratives, and in about one hour, he was sent to his hotel in a carringe. “The fight was then formally de- clared for MacDonald, and the great audience dispersed satisfied with the night's sport.” ‘That account failed to give any- thing about the blow that Slade hit me tn the sixth round.

EVANS AS AN END “Hoggy"” Evans was an end untit Smith switched him to quarter last year. An oversupply of quarters and a minus quantity of good ends caus ed Andy to try “Hoggy” out at his old position, and, ke Jack Witter, he proved to be the real “stuff.” Evans is built along the lines of Brodie Stevens, but is a little better — off than the latter, as he is consider- 4 ably heavier, Lined up against the — freshmen “Hoggy” didn’t bother about spilling plays directed his way; ~ he simply smashed them. “Stew Beam held down the position alongside of Evans, and his headers into the frosh backfield helped add to the wreckage.
