C. ‘The New York Police force occupied the centre of the ring at a set of ama- teur boxing ‘bouts held in the gymna- sium of the Crescent Athletic Club last night. The bouts were the first of an elimination tournament to de- cide who will be Gotham's police rep- resentative to engage in fistic battle lice force. For this reason the New Moon organization staged a special contest in the 158 pound class, and some stirring encounters were en- gaged in between the cop contestants. ‘The first pair to take the ring were Frank Laureto and Johnny Ruff. The | tater lived up to his last monicker. He was too Tough for Laureto and disposed of him in the first round Chris Spreck ama A. Goodman were the next battlers, and after Goodman had severely trounced his opponent in the opening round Spreck com- Plained of am-injured hand and the referee stopy the bout, giving Goodman the decision. Several other contests between the cops were also on the cand.

Brooklyn Recruit’s Hit Wins Eleven Inning Game for Dodgers a °° Hood’s gle Sends Elliott | Across Plate for 1 to 0 Victory Over Braves. By Richard Freyer. CORKING ~game of tho well- known national pastime and a near pugilistic encounter be- tween two players were provided the 5,000 odd fans who journeyed to Bb- bets Field to witness the third game of the Boston-Brooklyn series, The game was won by the Dodgers after eleven innings of stirring baseball by a 1 to 0 core. The contest was a pitchers’ battle between Cadore for the Brooklyn clan and Oeschger for the Braves, Neither side was able to dent home plate the first ten innings, although both twirl- erg were in a tight hole several times. Oeschger was the ,first to blow up under. the strain, and in the eleventh inning, after Wheat had been retired, Rowdy Elliott slammed a wicked single to centre field. He went to second as Konetchy beat out an in- field hit. Ward then flied to deep left, Mann of the Braves making a good catch. “he winning run was on second, there were two cut, and Hood, one of the Dodger rookies, was at the he clever recruit was there with the goods, and when he slammed a long drive to the left field fence El- ljott rode home with the winning run, Hood's hit would have been good for @ home run, but as a single wag ail that was necessary he ran to first and then returned to the bench, It was the first game Hood has had a chance to show his wares to the rooklyn fans, and the kid ball player ‘y6t himself in right with the critics. In addition to slamming out the hit which sent over the winning run Hood made a coupe of sensational catches in centré field which pulled Cadore out of a tight hole, The near fight was won by Hy Myers of the home team. No blows landed but nevertheless Myers won. If Myer’s version of the affair is cor- rect, he did as any full~blooded Amer- ican would have done to a man who had insulted him and Hy is to be commended for his action instead of being censured, While the chances are he will draw a suspension we hope the higher authorities playing. He can rest during his suspension, if he does draw one, knowing that he protected his reputation. Oscar Dugey, coach of the Boston team, was the cause of raising Myers’s anger. Dugey, for some un- known reason, been riding Myers during the entire game and in the fifth inning when Hy told Dugey to lay off, or words to that effect, the Boston coach came right back ‘with an unfit name, according to Myers, The, Dodger outfielder rushed for Dugey and took a wal- lop at him. Several Boston and Brooklyn players got between them. Umpire O'Day sent ‘both players from the game. Zack Wheat sure has his eye oh the pill these days. The clever outfielder has made one or more hits in each of the five games played, gathering for himself a batting. average of 526. In yesterday's game Wheat Made three:thte wellobs in four times at bat. Johnston, Tilden And Williams on Davis Cup Team ‘William M. Jobnston, William T. Tilden 24 and Richard Norris Will- jams 2d have been chosen to repre- sent the United States in the lawn tennis matches for the Davis Interna- tional Challege Cup. ‘ The selection of this trio, reapec- tively the No. 1, No. 2 and No, 6 of the Pecag | rauking hs was the out- come e meeting of th Aimeriéan Davis Cup Committee, The members who listened to the report of George T. Adee, recently re- {turned from the Pacific Coast, were impressed with the enthusiasm shown by the dynamic Johnston, the national title holder, as to his play- ing in the series to bring the trophy back to this country, Tilden also made it plain that he was ready and willing to devote the best part of a year to the matches, entailed by a journey to Australia if the Americans are successful. According to the plans outlined by Samuel Hardy, who will go with the team as its captain, the players will sail from this city the end of next month. Their entry in the world’s championship tournament at Wim- bledon has been duly cabled to the English Assocation, and they will get into competitive action on the his- will consider it is Myers's first of- fense during twelve years of ball toric turf when play begins on June 21, STANDING OF THE CLUBS NATIONAL LEAGUE.
