LTHOUGH Al Lippe, manager A of Jeff Smith, the successful Bayonne (N.J.) middleweight, has received many offers from clubs all over the country for Smith to fight such good men as Mike Gibbons, Jack Dillon and Johnny Howard, he has decided to pass them all up and will start back for Australia on Sept. 29 to fulfil the contract he signed with Snowy Baker, the Australian fight promoter, which calls for Smith to engage in three more battles in that country, Lippe claims that Smith's wrist is still too sore for him to use in boxing and that is why he declined the offers, He says he was offered a guarantee of $4,000 for Smith go fight the winner of the George Chip-Billy Murray fight, which takes place in Ban Francisco on Labor Day.

HOUGH they have made good their promise of coming out of the West still in the lead the Giants have a tough week ahead of them and must go at top speed to Braves. While Boston was knocking the pennant aspirations out of the Car- dinals the Giants easily defeated the Cubs, maintaining for themselves a scheduled in the National League, the worst that can happen js a return to the East in a tle with the Braves, If the Glants should beat the Pirates they will be @ full game in front. begin when they reach less hostile territory. They must play Brooklyn six games in four days at Ebbets tleld while the Braves are tackling the Phillies. At that, considering tho relative positions of the two teams, the Giants ought to grow as fat on the Dodgers as Boston does on the Phillies. But it is the bulk of the work that worries McGraw—the wear and tear on his pitching staff. Though their ambitions have been temporarily shelved the Cardinals and the Cubs have comparatively easy pickings for the greater part of the week. St. Louis has the Pirates as 4 green pasture while the Cubs take on the Keds. But with either of those clubs there Is always the danger of a flareback as the Giants well remem- ber. Against the Champs tho Reds made a clean sweep. The intensity of the sadness felt in St. Louls cannot be appreciated very \ well this far Kast, but travellers who have returned from there deciare it to be a terrible thing. In St. Louis the fans and scribes were as cock- sure of leading the league by Satur- day as it the fight were already over. They had ceased to figure the Giants the probable strength of individ players in the World's Series. One St. Louis newspaper went 80 far as to print a column story showing how Cozy Dolan of the Cards would be the star of the big series, and how he would put it all over Home Run Baker! Instead of climbing to the top the Cardinals have dropped back to a weak third, losing four of their last five starts. The record of the Giants since the end of the slump came has been good enough to make them strong favorites in the betting. They have won four out of fwe games since Matty checked the slump. In the came they were deaten, only one run was made by Chicago, Marquard losing by a score of 1 to 0.

His living j doesn't depend on it.” The asking of waivers on George Wiltse of the Giants probably means that McGraw has found a berth for him in some minor e. But for his friendship for “Hooks” McGraw would have asked waivers last fall. Heasked Wiltse to take the trip around the world last fall to help the Giante out of a hole, and when Wiltee came to his assistance McGraw gave him another year in which to make good as a regular, Wiltee is one of the most popular ball players that ever appeared on the Polo Grounds, but he t# no more popular with the fans than he ts with McGraw personally.
