Adams also got well paid for the short time that he was in the ring, as he drew down a guarantee of $750. ‘The gross receipts, includ- ing the Government tax of 10 per cent. brought the “gate” up to $4,472.60. ‘The State got 5 per cent. of $4,071, which is $203.55.

So certain were the officials of the club that Adams would not get up that they turned on the electric lights as the referee was tolling second, This was the second time Adams had been floored in the, short time the bout lasted. The first time that Adams went down wag also the re- sult of a short inside right swing to the jaw which Herman shot across as George came tearing into him. It looked then as if Adams was done for, but to the surprise of the 1,800 fans present he got up on his feet at the count of-eight and started to back By John Pollock. ETD HERMAN of New Orleans, who startled the followers of fistiana all over the world nine weeks ago by knocking out Jimmy Wilde, the flyweight champion, in seventecn rounds at Albert Hall, Lon- don, scored another knockout last night by stopping Georgie Adams of Chicago in the first round of their fifteen-round battle at the Central Manhattan Sporting Club of Harlem. Adams was counted out by Referee Now that the Arena in Boston, which was burned down last year G:|has been erected again, the indica- cations are that many important bouts will be staged there in the fu- ture.

Lynch was present at the fight, and despite Herman's quick defeat of Adams and his wonderful victory over Jimmy Wilde, Lynch and his manager, Eddie Mead, intend to give Herman a chance to regain his title in a battle at the Garden next fall. As far as Adams is concerned, he was outclassed after the first thirty seconds of the battle. In that short period Adams got in three stiff punches on Herman, which made him So angry that ho cut loose and his finish then quickly followed. The semi-final bout proved a set- back for a fighter who looked like a promising middleweight. This fighter was Jack Stone, who had scored three knockouts in succession. Jack met Augie Ratner, the clever Bronx mid- dieweight, and Augie just knocked Stone's aspirations into a cocked hat.

(Special to The Evening World.) SHREVEPORT, La., March 25, HE Battle of the Boroughs has been shifted to this city, with the surging Yankees ready to swallow the Robins, feathers and all. The Hugmen are riding on the crest of a ten-game streak. Four of the victories have been scored at the expense of the Brooklyn team. Uncle Robbie's clan is quite in the depths, Rip Collins and Bill Piercy thwart- ed the best efforts of the Robins at Alexandria yesterday, and the Yan- kees won by 12 to 3. Babe Ruth con- tributed a single, a double and a triple out of five attempts. The last named effort was a vicious drive that would have sailed far up into the right field bleachers at the Polo Grounds, The right field barrier at Alexandria stands almost out of the range of vision of grandstand pa- trons. Al Mamaux pitched four innings against the Yanks and one for them, the fifth, when he was batted out of the box a dozen times but stayed in it. The total against him was thirteen hits and nine runs. Oid Clarence Mitchell, with his left hand spitter, did a little better, permit- ting three runs in three innings. Although exhibition games are sup- posed to mean nothing, the Dodgers are taking their defeat to heart, and the main reason it can be said they defeated is because they think ey are.

They realize that they are not in condition yet to tackle a team of high class, and many inquiries were made by them on their arrival here as to just how good the once despised Mack- men are and just how strong their off the seventh | position is likely to be. ‘This will be the first meeting o1 the Giants and Athletics since the World's Series of 1913, when the A's of that year, the famous MclInnis- Collins-Barry-Baker infield and the equally famous Bender-Plank com- bination in the box ran roughshod over them. Only one Giant is with the team who was in that se George Burns, and there isn’t a sin- gle man in the Athletics’ line-up. Tradition is tradition, however, and the Giants will work’ hard to ‘upset the Philadelphians. It looks as though Nehf, Barnes and Douglas may get a chance to work for the New York- ers, and they expect to face Perry and Rommel, reported to be Mack's best. The latter was with the Giants at Gainesville in 1919. But for a wild streak by “Slim’ McGrew, actually the biggest pitcher in professional ball to-day, the Gal- veston team would have beaten the Giants yesterday. McGrew, who 1 seven feet tall, is only twenty years ol’ and is hand! pped by inexperi- ence. But he has speed—tarrels of it. When he got the 1 over tne plate the New Yorkers could do little with it; they were lucky to touch it But he passed Bancroft, Monroe and Young in the ninth, Kelly slashed out a hit and a sacrifice bunt by Brown and a sacrifice fly by Goldie Rapp gave the New Yorkers three runs and the game, The Giant pitching staff didn’t show any too brilliantly, Ryan did fairly well, and the score was 3 to 1 when he left the box; but Pat Shea, his former teammate from Toronto, was hammered unmercifully, The minor leaguers got a triple, a double and three singles off him, and he hit a man before he was finally taken out Young Voight, who succeeded, pitched gilt-edged ball and receives what credit there is for winning the game. It is this evidence that their pitch- ers are not yet ready to perform against good hitters that makes the Giants view to-day's struggle in sober mood, TAGK’S GOSSIP AND BOWLING NEWS Harry Cohn, representing the Hants Points Alleys, Bronx, defeated Joe By aro when the latter visited him at the Hunts Point drives last night in an Wastern individual seri % took eight gamies to decide the test, Cohn a con- raging 1993-8 against 185 1-8 for Falcaro.

A championship team cannot go into its home park with the stigma of having been battered about in a spring series, “The eyes of ajl Brooklyn are upon You: Upon you as they would be im 0 other series, barring only a battle for the world's championship. It may be hard to win out with the first four | games against us.
