ENNY LEONARD, ff he ‘a wise, will not bs fat when he goers into the ring at the Harlem S.C. next Friday evening with Vic Moran, This Moran boy isn't so very clever or #o very fast, but he's a rough and ready sort of a fighter, and dangerous. He'll give Beany plenty of work to dg, and unless the Gibson entry ‘s in first class shape may be able to annoy him consid- erably. In the Dundee fight Leot seemed to have adopted the Fr Welsh idea of “playing it safe.” have to make a pretty good showing with Moran to get back into the pop- ular favor he lost by being outfouht by a man barely out of the feather- weight class. EEF is going down. Dan Dalley, 285 pounds, Insted less than a round with Carl Morris. But Morris, incidentally, weighed ten pounds more than Dailey. We recon- sider the statement about the fluctua- tion in beef. While knocking out Dailey was a very ordinary feat, no doubt Carl Morris is now considered, in Okla- homa at least, the equal of Joss Will- ard. Didn't Willard say that “Next to Fulton Dailey was his idea of a proper person to meet him for the heavyweight championship?” RANK MORAN Is making a min- take in training at Saratoga for his Brooklyn bout with Dillon. Frank may like to train up-State. No doubt the surroundings are ideal. But people who intend to see him fight would like to keep an eye on his workouts. And the eye that can look from New York to Saratoga hasn't yet been invented, T has always been customary for boxers in important bouts to train near the battleground. Jeffries ignored that custom occasionally when he went to the mountains to prepare for a fight. In California his favorite training ground was Harbin Springs, two or three hours’ ride from San Francisco. But Jeffries was an exceptional fighter—a great cham- pion who was always known to be in condition and fit for any fight. Fitz simmons, Sharkey, Corbett and the rest of the old-timers did their pre- paratory work as near the scene of the contest as possible, Jack Dillon has the right idea, He's training in the inclosure where he ex- pects to fight. HE annual Honor Roll Relief Fund games of the New York Police Department will be held at Bheepshead Bay Speedway Juno % and July 1. Matt McGrath, who has been throwing the hammer 180 feet again lately, is working hard to break Pat Ryan's record. Ho's likely tw throw the missile a mile. The programme of the police games this year will be more extensive than ever before. It will include contests at catching runaway horses, motor cycle races, riding contests between | he came home and wrestled all comers policemen who have served in the United States cavalry regiments, bike races, @ full athletic programme, a sham’ battle, polo games between teams of crack riders in the depart- ment, and other features, ‘The an- nouncement of the games states that “every penny of the proceeds of what might easily. be called the greatest show on earth will be devoted to the temporary and permanent relief of the families and Mobilization TX Mobilization of the Na- tional Guard of New York State.

The pessimist! usual, had @ bad day, Everything was all wrong with him. He wanted to have all the jockeys and owners arrested, the stewards indicted and the race track locked up. The opti- mist quit a little “in front,” and tried hard to explain things to his pet mistic friend, “How did you do in the first race, he asked, after the pessimist got his dynamitic abuse off his chest and they were comfortably seated in the smoker, “Do? nantly, “why I played the form horse of the race, Old Drury. Hasn't he been in the money in four out of five starts? What else could anybody do?” hy, old pal,” answered the optl- mist, “don't you know that Old Drury isn't worth a quarter, and that some- body handed her to “Kim” Patterson for a hundred bucks because he didn’t want to pay her feed bills? Nobody but a boob could play that kind of Vixen was the goods in that opening dash, You know her last race didn't go.” “Only @ clairvoyant could have dug Vixen up,” declared the pessimist “I'll admit I liked her breeding till I met Tommy Tompkins and Billy Vreeland. Both had just come from an Inquisition with Schuyler Parsons and Billy Karrick with the “inf that Vixen was a bad betting propo- sition, That made me go to Old Drury strong.” “Well, you surely got even on Shy- ness in the second,” said the opti- mist. "I thought she was @ good thing. She won her last two races in the West.” “Shyness nothing,” came back the pessimist. ‘I played old Broom, who has been performing like a stake horse round these parts lately, and if it was not for a fool ride by Ball I would have cashed. It may have been a “boat race” for all I know. “You didn’t let Ormesdale get away from you in the third, I hope,” sald the optim: quizzically, “That bird was in the right spot for the first t this year.” ‘ou sure must have the confidence To Gentlem Old Pep in Double-Header Against Giants To-Day, By Bozeman Bulger. | iI" may as well come out now as 1 later, but In the opinion of the Boston players the secret of their recent and surprising slump is due to gentlemanly conduct, That charge is infrequent in summing up our na- | tional pastime, but the fact remains | that the Braves believe they have | acted too nice, and we announce it in | defiance of censorship, There is a | chance to-day for them to break the social mentor having re- 1, and we shall sce what effect i on i doubleheader, | Percy FPlaughte to he undis guised” regret, hax discovered t | mothods of gentility and so portsmanship do not get a yunt of nour his is the ment in base- herefore, that » breaking of two games Wow! . it will be re- the ) Mr stater n wi the Boston players would be called upon to deport themselves ag thorough gentlemen no rowdy tactics would be tole! ed by the new Bostons Promise to Display! casion well | DAILY REVIEW OF BIG LEAGUE RACES) 'Braves Attribute Slump anly Conduct management.

What has he done to make any one back him?" replied the pessimist in dis- gust, “Marse Henry gave him five pounds and a good beating only last Wednesday, and to me there didn't seem any good reason why he shouldn't do it again.” “I can seo that your knowl handicapping is sadly limited, the optimist. “Ormesdale was drop- ping four pounds from his last race, when he finished a head and neck behind Marse Henry, and besides he had Shuttinger and not Johnny Mc- Taggart up then. I thought 18 to 6 Against, Ormesdale was atealing money.” ‘ “Well, don't’ tell me you played against Etruscan in the fourth,” said the pessimist, looking the optimist in the eye. “He surely figured to beat that bunch,’ “That was one race I didn’t touch,” answered the optimist. “Jack Gillen gave me some feed box information on Bonnie Tess, and I was inclined to follow it until I noticed that Startling was being backed down by some of the wisest fish on the track. Here's one I'll look at, I said to my- self, ag I ducked a shower running to the grandstand. “Well, what happened to Etrus- oan?” asked the pessimist. “Oh, nothing, only the kid Preece, who rode him, had his leg fractured in two places in a jam between horses before the barrier went up,” answered the optimist. “The kid showed a lot of courage in driving the horse home second, as it “Well, I'm sorry for the boy, that's the case, but I'm inclined to sk In what places he broke his leg— at the post and in the stretch?” cynically replied the pessimistic one. “You certainly went to Aimee T. in the fifth,” said the optimist, over- looking the sarcasm of his friend. “How could I go to Aimee T. with the information I had on Running Shot,” replied the pessimist. “Didn't they bring him: over in @ van, and didn’t they have him led to the post, squandering ten bucks to do tt, and didn’t he gallop home in his last race in the same kind of company? How could I bet against him?" “Well, you know, he ran away a mile or maybe you might have cashed that,” answered the optimist ‘Say, Bo," bitterly came back the pessimist, “do you think I'm blind. I saw him run away, but if that fool Keough had beon tending to his bus!- ness he wouldn't have run away; but that's the kind of breaks I'm getting these days.” “Queen of Paradise made me a good winner on the day In the last,” said the optimist, almost ignoring the essimist’s complaint about his bad freaks. “You sure didn't go to any- thing else in that race I hope.” “Leave it to me to pick the dead ones,” droned the pessimist. “Capt. Nick Houseman gave me the Queen early in the day and I was about to back her till I ran right into Ed Al- bright, who owns Beau of Menlo, Says he to me, ‘I can't lose this race. Here's a spot where you can throw away the rubber band.’ Yes, I went to the Beau, and for a while when he was breezing out in front I felt that this wasn't such a bad old world after all, But, oh me, oh my, when I saw him close up like a jackknife in the backstretch I sought consolation in that third rail stuff that McGrath calls whiskey,” “Flatbush Avenue, all out!" shouted the conductor at this stage of the conversation, and the optimist and pessimist soon lost each other tn the scramble for a subway train to Manhattan, MAJOR LEAGUE RES National League i i a . | Club, | Chivago .. 25 | lle 20 Cinein'th 462 \} ® 2 Pitta'gh,. 24 27 (437 Boston... . 2: ‘St. Louls,.22 32 407 Recults of Ga Games Boston at New York .

The surpriso to me is the poor bat- ting of Eddie Collins. During the last world's series between the Giants and the Athletics In 1913, I rated him as the greatest ball player in the world, and I bellevo he was then. He 4s, however, of peculiar temperament, a temperament which just fitted Into Mack's machine and his ways. ‘The transfer to Chicago hurt Col- ins as a ball player, as the shifting of men to the Giants often hurts them. The big price paid for Collins dazzled hgn. One of the newspapers out there Pode him a little about writ- ling articles for the papers when he first arrived. All this undoubtedly hurt him, But he 1s still one of the t| greatest players in the country, and I think tho headiest of all, I don't seo how Cleveland can win the pennant in that league, but they tell me you can't prove it to a Cleve- land rooter, The fans have gone Another good Western fighter, with an excellent record of victories to his credit, will make his first appearance in & bout in this vicinity to-night, despite the fact that he has been battling for oight years, in the last two of which he has met nearly all the topnotch fighters in both this country and Australia, The boxer referred to Js Milburn “Young” Saylor, the Indlanapolis lightweight, who will go against Harry Pierce, the Brooklyn lightwetght, in the main event of ten rounds at the Broadway Sporting Club of Brooklyn. who knocked out Leach Cross several months ago in Cincinnati, forcing Leach to announce his retirement from the ring. fis meeting a tough cus- tomer tn I 8 the latter has scored many knockouts tn the last year, as @ result of his hard hitting.
