They thought he'd need the luck, for hs admitted that he “would” do a little boxing to pay the expenses of the trip. And Jimmy is twenty-eight and a veteran in his fighting class.

As a result of the de- feat and the victor¥ of the Pirates, the Reds tumbled into second plac: only a game and a half ahead of the Brooklyn team. One inning, the fifth, was enough for the Robfis to win this strug- gle. In this round, the visitors, led by “Big Ed" Konetchy, bammered od Biller for five clean bits and three runs. After Eller cracked Wheat with the ball in the sixth inning Moran gave him the high sign and Luque assumed the pitching bur- den for the world’s champions. Cadore was at his best; so much so, that Maurice Rath was the only Chn- cinnatii player ind base. And it was no fault of Cadore 3 Co that Rath got within ninety feet of the home plate.

The referee was so tardy about be- ginning his count that Moran turned and looked at him, as if wondering if he would ever begin. Finally, nine was counted God- dard struggled groggily to his feet and mad few ineffective passes. Moran shot a fierce right to God- dard’s jaw and he went down for the second time. As before, Jack Smith, the referde, began such a leisurely count that Moran expbdstulated, tell- ing Smith that it was needless to subject Goddard to further punish- ment. Smith paid no attention and continued his pokey count.
