FUIRTING: mit us ! GIANTS MAY CLIMB OUT OF NATIONAL CELLAR BEFORE END OF WEEK. ‘The Giants are getting ready to cmb out of the cellar of the National League. As a result of their victory over the Cubs, which made their fifth straight, the New York club came within thirty-five points of the Pirates. New York has lost three less games than the Pittsburgs, but the latter have won three more than have Mc- Graw’s men. If New York keeps up its good work it is sure to leave the rathskeller before the end of the week. Home runs by Doyle and Rob- ertson enabled the Giants to cap- ture their opening game in Chi- cago. Tesreau weakened in the ninth, but Rube Benton checked the Cubs’ rally. ‘The Dodgers increased their lead by beating the Cardinals, 3 to 2, through Jeff Pfeffer's good twirl- ing in the pinches. Boston, the runner-up in the race, didn’t play. Jess Willard, the world's heavyweight champion, ts to receive a small fortune to defend his title again in a ten-round Mo-decision bout on the afternoon of Labor Day. His opponent will be Fred Fulton, the ‘giant ‘heavyweight of Rochester, Minn., who made a fine im- pression in his firet bout in this city a few weeks ago by decisively outpointing Al. Reich in @ contest at the Stadium A.C. Tom Jones, manager of Willard, and Mike Collins, manager of Fulton, met in Chicago last night and signed articles of agreement calling for the big fellows to battle, According to the articles Willard is to get a guarantee of $37,600, with @ percentage privilege, while Fulton will draw down one-third of the gross réceipts. Bids for the bout will close July nd the club that makes the best offer will get the con- test. It 1s expected that the battle will be fought at a baseball park at St. Paul, Minn., or Milwaukeo.

It took but one game, however, for ‘Cleveland to convince us that her early euccess is no flash in the pan. ‘The Indians are winning simply be- cause they are playing that kind of baseball, Instead of a polite exhibi- tion of science and dexterity, Lee Fohl has those boys fighting for every advantage, just as we did on the town lots when bloody now nd torn uni- forms were marks of distinction. ‘They have gone back to first prin- . | ciples.

Fisher threw wide to Pipp, and, seeing that our first’ sacker would have to reach for the ball, Howard gave him the shoulder and got away with it.
