First, Britton is older than Jess Willard, who ascribes his beating by ‘their antagonism is g0 keen they Jack Deinpsey to his having passed | the best fighting age. And Britton is | at bis best, having won the cham- Dionship title from this same Ted Lewis only four months ago. Becond, this will be the nineteenth time Britton and Lewis have met, and the public isn’t in the least weary of seeing the rivals in the ring. No other pair of fighting men could equal this record. Britton and Lewis are remarkably well matched never come together without a battle. | | The rivalry between Britton and Lewis started years ago when each | ‘clkimed the welterweight title, whic ‘Was without a defender.

The Reds Proved Much Easier to Beat Than Were the Braves, By Bozeman Bulger. ITH & second trouncing of the Braves at hand and still an- ' ether in prospect, the week has not ended so badly for the Giants j after all, Rain washed out the bank Tol) expected by the visit of the Reds and considerably flattened John Fos- ter in the vest, but the pennant poten- tialities ‘remain at par. Up to and excluding the quarred about to'cnsue this P. M. the Giasts have played just three games, which umber also marks the extent of triumph. + And, queerly enough, the Raving Reds furnished the easiest pickings of the more or less mildewed week. The Braves gave our home boys quite a tussle in their opening encounter. The anticipated pitching duel between Dick Rudolph and Big Toney evoluted into an exhibition of shadow batting —the Braves furnishing the shadow and the Giants the batting.. Rudolph waa licked by @ score of six to noth- ing. on one or two occasions the Braves: got their hands on Big Toney but they couldn't take hold with their teeth, Their few bingles merely punctuated the, pastime so as to make it under- standable. Hal Chase again did some home run smacking and his one clout into the jeft fiel sufficient to call it da: more were added for — es are the out-talkingest ball” ‘oni that has been around here all season and McGraw is now trying to figure out @ scheme by which could trade George Stallings out of some of that talk for. his outfield by giving him & few hits for the Braves infleld, but as yet they have failed to come to terms, Though the victories of the past two days have been secured at @ very modest expenditure of effort they AL been of paramount necessity. The moment the Reds went away ptt here licking thelr wounds after esday’s Waterloo, they turned nest around and began to take it out on the poor Pirates. Pat Moran licked ‘em again yesterday, and the Reds are snapping at our heels just as savagely as ever, Just as sure as McGraw lets @ foot slip théy’ll yank the Giants off that top rung. That nose dive of hich we have talked so much and which usually happens long before this, appears to have been-discarded from the programme of the Reds, Ana, talbing about nowe dives, may+ e that's hat's happened to the ‘anks. Less than a month ago a for- mer member of the American Leagte team was tellingwis that they were front runners. Spoiled our entire afternoon with misgivings. “Why, don't you know that Bill Donovan had them out in front up to July? he asked, and’ then answered himself: “Surest thing you know. Beveral times they've been out there unti} the season was half over, only to act just lke the Reds used to act.” ‘This Youn— man also advanced tho unhappy sukgestion that the Yanks were hitting far ahead of their speed, and once they cooled off they'd just hawurally have to blow. And weak hitting really is the answer ta thy recent slump. That all may be #0; but somehow we had fondly looked forward to a World's Series between the home teams. And if they get Carl Mays, Maybe there's a chance yet. Col, Rup- perty Col, Huston and Harry Sparrow are all up there in Boston talking low and earnest like with Harry Frazee. Lanse Richburg, the young inflelder who has been under the ovservation of McGraw for the past few week, a8 a Giant,-has been sold to the Oak- land Club of the Pacific Coast League. Everything is satisfactory to Lanse, Including tho elimate. Bhufflin’ Phil Douglass has gone to Chicago to straighten up his pri- vate affairs and will join the Giants when they go West Monday. McGraw expects to pitch him in regular turn with Barnes, Toney and Benton. After Dick Rudolph had given the crowd @ great laugh yosterday by making a quick return to the cateher and standing Hal Chase on his ear, Hal scrambled to his feet and re sponded by slapping the next one into the left field stand for a home rua Dick did not see the point, Our idea of a pennant combination would be the White Sox pitching staff, the Glant hitting outfleld and the Braves talking Infield, Now that Babe Ruth has busted up four games by his hitting, has saved a couple by his fielding and went in to pitch yesterday it Is suggested by some of his admirers that he give a little aid in managing. Yes, tho ilrst day he has with a little time on his hands. In the seventh inning the Braves got two singles, a base on balls and fa long fly to centre, the total result- ing in oMe runner reaching second, No one took {ssue with Hank Gowdy is his plaintive cry of hard luc RA Ci I N G Empire City Track (YONKERS 4 MT, AY” ONDA iE AY es XV!
