It is all due to the death of Ray Chap- man, which bas aroused such bitter fecling against Pitcher Mays of the Yankees that the movement is now well under way to boycott the local pitcher.

Giants Beaten By Cardinals In Close Game 8T. LOUIS, Au 27.—The New York Giants lost a heart-breaker to the Cardinals ‘and left for Cin- cinnatt to-night with only an even split on the series. A home run drive by Austin McHenry over the left field fence was the cause of their undoing, for it scored a man ahead of him and gave the Cardinals two runs against which the Glants could only get one. It was a hard juck game for the Giants to lose in this respect, for their three pitchers, Toney, Benton and Winters, held the Cardinals to only three b A fatal base on balls that Toney gave to Scott proved his undo- ing, for he was the man who was on when McHenry hit his long drive. The break in the game came in the eighth. Earl Smith batted for Benton and drew a base on balls. Hornsby threw out Burns, Smith taking sec- ond. Bancroft doubled to right, send- ing In Smith, Young hit a terrific Iincr to centre, but Heathcote was right in the track of the ball, and when Frisch failed to get his effort any further than Doak the Giants big chance was fone. ‘ack smith tripled to right centre in the Cardinals’ halt of ‘the. frat, but Toney did some xilt edge pitching.

It will be hard to, forget the great match which Hutchison won from Edgar by 1 up. Now, then, Edgar was so dissatisfied with his turn of luck, or whatever else he blamed for his defeat, that he has boldly defied the Scot comedian for a specially arranged match, in fact, two matches, He has offered to play Jock twice on neutral courses and has an- nounced a preference for the metro- politan district.

Rickant has agreed to the postponement, as he figures that this bout will draw at any time. ‘The boxing fans in this vicinity are anxious to see Leonard in one fight where his title will be at stake and a decision rendered in the contest.
