BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK WHITE SOX OPEN + WITH HILL TOPPERS. FOR THE GOOD OF THE GAME ing Law Be Enforced. Coprright, 1911, by The Prew Publishing Co. (The' New York World). OXING COMMISSIONER FRANK 8 O'NEILL has shown himself to be very much of a fighting man. Weeks ago he oecame an insurgent and Announced that he would fight for the strict enforcement of the boxing law, regardless of political pull and all other opposing influencs He has carried that fight from the rooms of the Com- Bisslou hi la New York to Une Gove ernor's office in Albany. The result is that Gov. Dix has given Commissioner O'Neil his official backing, and from this time on all boxing clubs must absolute- ly conform with the jaw as it stands ep the statute boo! Commissioner 0’ stand has @aved the gaine. There !s no doubt that if things had been allowed to continue as they staried the Frawley boxing law would have been repealed. Already a strong opposition to the game had 4 veloped. The only thing tha: could off- eet that opposition was sirict enforce- ment of the law in every detail. ‘The Madison Square A. C., which has to ite wt life become practically a bexing trust with @ corner on big bouts aad on spectators, will in all probability Jose its license when ihe Boxing Com- mission mee: it 2 o'clock Monday at- temmoon. O'Meil has made the Madison Square A. C. the object of his main at- tack. From the beginning he has stated Positively that the club did not have a Genuine jease on Madison Square Gar- den covering one year—a requirement under the new law. He yased his argu- ment on the fact that prior to the club’ lease the Garden had been let under contract to the Pure stood Show, the Horse Whow, the Dog Show und the. Automobile Show, and that the sale of the Garden had Leen arranged, the new Wwners to take possesson in Feb- ruary, seven months after the signing of the Madison Square A. C.'as lease. ‘Two days ago O'Nell had an interview with Gov. Dix in Albany and the Gov- ergor sent word to Commissioner Dixo! he was convinged that the club's 414 not cover the required length of time, and that the license granted the club should be revoked. He asked ‘Dizon to vote with O'Neil for the rev- ovation of the license. 'N yesterday's meeting the matter was lala over until Monday, because the commission had assured the Madison Square A. C, that it would be granted et least twenty-four hours’ notice, 90 ‘that it could have legal representation @t the meeting when the license matter ‘was Drought up again. ‘When the license was originally grant- 4 Commissioners Sullivan and Dixon voted for it, understanding that the club had a year's iease on tho Garden. Nell dissented and inting the license. Since Mr. Sullivan's resigning there has been @ “@eadlock” in the commission on this question. When asked yesterday if he would refuse to vote according to the Gov- ernor's instructions, Commissioner Dixon aaid; “I most certainly will comply mith the Governor's wishe: ‘This means that the license of the club will be taken away on Monday, and that there will be no more boxing bouts in Madison Square Garden, at least until has been threshed out in ‘The license of Tom O'Rourke's Na- tional Sporting Club was revoked yes- terday, on the ground that it did not have a bona fide lease, covering one year. It is doubtful that O'Rourke will be granted another license. It in claimed that the National 8. C. had the use of the Amsterdam Opera House only on its fight nights, and other entertainments not under control of the club were held there on different dates. [leroretec ec the Commission tn- (errogated Re: White with regard to the Morris-Flynn bout. After hearing why he allowed tt go on after it had deteriorated into a mere brutal and unscientific slugging match, and taking the testimony of Dr, Cramer, who attended Morris after tho fight and who stated that Morris was not eeriously injured, the Commission ex- onerated White from all blame, but told Mm not to let it happen again, In the future referces must stop all bouts that are one-sided or that become at all Drutal, and must refuse to officiate where it {s evident that the boxers are not well matched and in fit condition for fighting. Major Dixon says that he has no tn- tention of resigning from the Boxing Commission, that he isn't a “quitter,” and that he certainly will continue to perform his duties according to own best judgment long as he holds office, The Governor has not yet ap- pointed a new Commissioner in Mr, Bullivan’s place. As for the Madison Gquay A. C. and the National a. c, under the Frawley law they can carry the matter to the courts, and no doubt y will oppose the revocation of their ense! However. all this may come out eventually, it !8 the best thing that auld happen for the good of the box- ing game.

F there is a man left in New York I or in the outlying precincts who would like to bet that the Giants do not play the Athletics for the world’ champlonship, go and grab him. Don't ank any questions about odds, The boys from the big town are just as sure of copping the one-time elusive flag as a scandal is of going through society. Even the Chicago newspaper experts now admit it, and when they make any concessions to anything that comes from Gotham you may rest assured that something has happened. The Giants close thelr second week of tho trip on the road this afternoon with the greatest winning record ever hung up by @ major league team. They hav played twelve’games, and of that num- ber have won eleven. That was far in excess of any prediction made by the most optimistic fan. ‘They left New York with a scant lead of two games, and thanks to the cracking of the Cub machine and the wonderful burst of speed by the Giants this has been in- creased to a fraction more than seven full games. But for a desire to save Marquard’s aching arm they might just as well have made it thirteen straight, things going so good, however, that McGraw intrusted a game to young Maxwell, and he lost it in St. Louis on Thursday. Por the benefit of those who would prefer figures to offhand enthusiasm, we present the mathematical obstacle that confronts the Cubs ‘The Giants hi won 88 games Pitcher Rube Marquard Suffers From Sore Arm. CINCINNATI, Sept. 23,—Marquard suffering f @ sore arm and he showed !t plainly when he went in to save Ames from defeat at the finish of yesterday's game at St. Louls. He said @ sharp pain struck him tn the elbow every time he tried to start a curve ball and this caused him to lose control. He pitched himself into a hole, but luckily pulled out at the finish. It was the toughest game the Giants have had since they left home ard the players are prouder of the victory than of the clean sweep they made at Pittsburgh, won 63 and lots 56. The Giants have 19 games to play, while the Cubs have but 15. Zf the Giants should only win 5 of their 19 @ames, and if at the same time the Cubs should only lose 5 of their 15, the result wonld be noth- ing more than a tie. As the Giants are going now it {is foolish to imagine that they will win only five games out of nineteen, and at the same time the tottering Cubs have little chance of winning ten out of their fifteen. Another way to look at it is that the Cubs would have to win all of their re- maining games whiie the Giants were losing ten out of nineteen for them to get as good as a tie. The five games in St. Louis, which were played in three days, was a severe Strain on the strength of the nt Pitching staff, but McGraw worked them with great skill. With Mathewson ready and fit to pitch this afternoon, there will be plenty of time for the tired out twirlers to recuperate by Monday, Tuesday will be an off day, and that will give them another rest before t ing into the Cubs for the final of the Western campaign. Coming over on the train last night the players gave Josh Devore the credit for winning the game, but they are stiil laughing over Chief Meyers's run from Greatest Winning Record Ever Hung Up ls That of Giants on This Western Trip According to Figures, Almost Impossible for Cubs to Land Championship. first to the plate on Josh's two bagger in the tenth. Josh drove in three of the four run# made by New York. It rather too hard to Imagine Devore doing the hitting and Meyers making the run, Dut such is the case. it was the last chance to win, and when Devore cracked out that long two bigger the Chief got his sails set, his neck bowed and ploughed around the path When he finally steamed Into the plate safely the players formed w circle around him and gave a loud cheer for the ast- est runner in the league. Red Murray has assumed the manage- ment of Charles Victory Faust, and coming overs on the train he gave an exhibition, Faust was taken Into the washroom of the sleeper ami coached for a great speech. Murray would make the announcement introducing Faust, and he pulled a “Victorious” address that was a wonder. He wound it up with a four-line verse written by the poets of the war correspondents, McGraw recelved a telegram from John T, Brush which read: “May luck and Charley Faust stick with you.” You can bet that Faust will stick. The players believe that he has brought them all their luck, and the person who would attempt to harm a hatr In his head would be in a bad way, “Yes,” said McGraw, “and when we play the Athletics Faust will be right bench beside me.” There was erable rivalry for a while be- tween Dick Hennessy and Faust as to which was the mascot, but McGraw ttled it by deciding that 1! Dick is the mascot, while Faust was the Jinx to the other clubs. Over St Louls the Cardinals tried to Kidnap Faust, but the ever-watehful Red Mu ray was on the job and folled this da tardly attempt to rob us of our luck Meyers knew that | ATLAST DODGERS” MAY GET CHANCE.
