UP-TO-DATE AND NEWSY Fight. Papke and Sailor Burke fight to-night, and this will be the last championship encounter in New York before the new boxing regula- into effect. They are to weigh \Y) eee champion Billy tion: in at 158 pounds at 6 o'clock.

Burke was a risi @ knockout punch second to none, As soon as the fight started “Smiling Billy” ran at Burke, smiling as if with the greatest delight in his chare of the entertainment. Right at that mo- ment Burke's goat kicked up its heels and skipped nimbly over the ropes, The lugging sailor forgot that he had fists to hit with, covered, doubled over, crawfished around the ring, flopped to his knees, took nine-secend counts and invariably rose again. That was the funny thing about !t. Burke was evidently rattled, flabbergasted, buffaloed, scared half out of his wits, And atill he showed the sort of game- ness that keeps a man from quitting, even if it doesn't give him aggress! nese, Burke took a terrible beatin, but he didn't have the nerve to try to give one. Billy's emile—a broad laugh now—was too much for bh. nerve, OTHERE was one exception to this. T In the middie of the fight, just as Papke was rushing in under a fall head of steam, flailing away with fists and forearms, Burke stood up straight for @ second and dropped one beautiful right over on Papke's jaw. It wes @ crusher. Papke's hands dropped and he reeled back on his heels. Again Burke shot the right over. Papko stag- fered, then grinned and rushed in with 4 wild swing. Burke might have knocked him out then, but the smile buffaloed him again, He bent over, covered, and took his beating unt the end of the fight. But Burke to-day is a different sort of a fighter—as a rule. A while ago he * MeoMahon of Pitts- class in a couple of months of whirlwind fighting. McMahon had a knockout wal- olp if ever w man did.

A rather striking illustration of supremacy of sport over com- was ehown when Fletcher drove out the winning wallop in the tenth inning that cost the New Yorks at least $5,000. How do you figure that out, did you say? Easy enough. The umpires had decided on call- ing the game at the end of the tenth inning on acount of dark- ness. If Fletcher had not won the game when he did, it would have been a tle, and a double-hesder would have been played to-day. A Gouble-header with the Cubs would have drawn an immense number of people. Therefore, if Fletcher had failed to hit the ball safely it would have meant thou- eands of dollars to his employers. ehake his hand, but one or two hung back, “Bay,” advised Old Opportunity, “you fellows had better grab me while you can.

And 60 it comes to pass that Oppor- portunity is with us again and all we need to do to keep the old bird for Many moons to come is to slam a bunch of base hits into the ribs of the anari- fmg Cubs this afternoon and take the upward jump. Once before this season old Op came around, but the Giants tailed to take advantage of his presence | { and fell back into the ruck. In fact they ignored him. This time, with their pitchers going like @ troop of thorough- brede and the batters coming through with the bingles, there is no reason why we should not give the old fellow a per- manent lodging. Getting down to plain, every-day fig- ures, it's like this: If the Giants should be so fortunate as to trim the Cubs again this after- noon, they will have won sixty-seven games and lost forty-two. That will Give them a percentage of .613, On the, other hand, the Chicagos, in that event, will have won sixty-four games and lost forty-one, which will give them @ per- oe ment Should Prove Interest- ing to Students of Boxing.

Therefore, the oppor tunity te here for the Giants to get in the lead thie afternoon. To hold it, however, they must also win to-mor- row. Persons who gre nervous and those who find it uncomfortable to have their hearts in their thro: would do well to stay away from a game like that opener between the Giants and the Cubs. It was the hardest fought pitch. ere’ battle of the year, and the fact that ten innings were required to de- cide it is suMfcient evidence as to the nerve-racking condition of the fans There was a thrill every minute. While Richie fought us to a standstill he was exceedingly lucky to get away ae long as he did. Part of the time he was as wild as @ march hare, but every time the Giants got on bases the breaks came his way.~ For instance, when the bases were filled in the fourth inning, with one out, Fletcher shot a Dall directly over third base that ordinarily would have gone for two bases. Just as he did, however, Jim Doyle, who waa plays ing third, ran back to the bag to make the runner hug the cushion. He got there just in time to dig the hard drive out of the dirt and toss Snodgrass out at the plate. And the Giants beat the Cubs without the aid of Charley Foust! Now, what do you know about that? Yesterday Foust showed up in the clubhouse and announced to McGraw that he wee go- ing to quit and leave the club fat, “I haven't been appreciated [3 the club or the public,” sald Mr, “And I'm going to quit. Il over and join the Brooklyn club, that’s what I'l do," ‘The trouble was that Foust didn't get his contract, and he declared with great emphasis that if there wasn't a chance to use him in this series with the Cubs there never would be one ‘This,” he Bill Kirk, formerly @ baseball acribe, 1s now @ bookmaker.

It looks like all the baseball ecribes are getting into the book writing business, Hughey Fullerton, Charley Van Loan, Charley Dryden, Mathewson of Chicago, and Spinks of St. Louis have all added to baseball literature with some good ones.
