Vance ran a string of nine strike- outs against the Cubs, which was one of the choice performances of this year and something any pitcher could be proud of. The pitcher who can fan Bob O'Farrell three times, and such other hardy hitters as Hack Miller, Ray Grimes and Clit Heath- cote, has something more on the ball than good wishes, ‘The fighting spirit of the Robins is still in evidence. It was on display yesterday in the fifth inning when they made five hits off Aldridge and one off Osborne for three runs, after the Cubs had compiled a couple of runs with two out in the fourth. It was on display again tn the ninth when Jimmy Johnston singled over second with two out, and Bert Grif- fith, with two strikes and no balls called, bounced a two-bagger off the right field wall that scored Johnston with the winning run. Vance delivered the goods and will get more coin next year, He has won sixteen games, which is the number Dutch Ruether has won, Five times Vance has faced the Cubs this season and five times he has come out on top.

By Ed Van Every. ANCHO VILLA, the Filipino ban- tam, lost a decision last night and looked more like a pros- pective champion than ever before. Villa is a real little fighting man and, stacked up against as tough a boy as he will be calied on to meet, he forced the fighting practically all the way, was never in actual trouble, whereas his opponent, Frankie Genaro, was badly shaken up in the sixth round— and Genaro was awarded the judge's decision. ‘The best the adjudged winner was entitled to was a draw in this writer's opinion, Apparently this opinion was shared by a large percentage of the more than 13,000 fight fans who made up one of the largest crowds that has turned out for any open-air fistic event in this city within our recollec- ion. The writer took pains to ques- tion many fans from various points of vantage and practically all asserted that it looked all Villa in thelr par- ticular vicinity. Many of the sport writers were also questioned and the most of them decalred they favored Villa. Frankie Genaro is a good little man, He has a defense that is not easy to penetrate and it must be con- ceded that the little brown boy found himself up against a different propo- sition from the boys he has shown against in his two previous bouts at this arena. The east side bey has a very speedy counter and @illa had his troubles avoiding it. But the Fil- ipino boy never stopped fighting, A LOSE AWARD FANS PAY $25,818.10 TO SEE BOXING SHOW HELD AT EBBETS FIELD By John Pollock. The boxing show staged at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn last night by owners Charles H. Ebbets *r., and Ed. McKeever attracted one of the largest crowds of fight fans that has so far attended a fistic entertainment in this State, at popular prices, since the Walk- er Boxing law went into effect. As there were five bouts offered at the prices of $1, $2 and $3, the . boxing enthusiasts turned out in droves, oyer 18,000 persons being on hand when the firet of the three ten-round contests started. Of this number 12,068 pald for tickets. The gross receipts, in- cluding the Government tax of 10 per cent., amounted to $25,818.10. The net receipte were $22,392 and the State got 5 per cent. of that amount, which made ts end $1,- 173.75, Pancho Villa got 12% per cent. of the net receipts, which made his end $2,787.75. Frankie Genaro also got the same amount, $2,787.75. Babe, Herman, 10 per cent., which waS $2,230.20; Eddie Brady, 7% per cen’ $1,672.65; Packey O'Gatty, 7 per cent., $1,672.65 and Jack Hausner, 7 per cent., $1,672.65. The ticke' including the Government tax, were sold as follows: 4,000 at $1.. $4,000.00 4,733 at $2.. +4 9,466.00 3,335 at $3. seeeeee 10,008.00 $23,471.00 With Government tax of 10 per cent. included..$2,347.10 When he was stung, which hap- Total. ... 10 pened quite often, Pancho just fought = —EEE a litte harder. If there was any covering up he left this privilege for|in no fit condition to fight, his arm Genaro. In fact Villa fought too} being badly affected by boils and an open and too careless of anything his opponent might possess and as a result he took many blows to the jaw and body. Possibly he took as many or even more blows than he managed to deliver, but the fact remains that eny advantage he may have had in this respect was more than offset by the fact that Villa was always the aggressor and that his. blows accom- plished the most damage. The only actual advantage that we would credit to Genaro would be in the matter of welghts—he weighed one pound more than the 109 1-4 at which Villa scaled, Genaro took the lead in the opening round when he stuck over the very first blow, a straight right to the jaw. He beat the Filipino boy to the punch and his defense, was generally ef fective against Villa's earnest effor The first four rounds might hav gone to the Itallan boy by a shade in spite of the fact that he was forced backward most of the time by the hard rushes of his opponent. Villa was being outboxed. Villa took a clip on the jaw at the start of the fifth and another blow de- livered by Genaro turned his man around, but Pancho never stopped fighting and before the round was over was giving a little better than was sent. This was an even round, But from the fifth round on Villa started to speed up and the east side boy apparently could not keep up with the dizzy pace. Now Villa was getting the better of the counters and also connecting with long swinging lefts, In the sixth round, the only one in which either fighter had a wide ad- vantage, Villa must have landed five blows to one. He shot in heavy lefts and rights to the head and body and Genaro was plainly on the verge of being beaten to the canvas. He was forced to hold on as hard as he knew how. Thiw was practically the only clinching of the fight and Genaro was the guilty party, The seventh round was also Villa’s, not by so wide a margin as the sixth, but the shade was considerable, Gen- aro came back in the eighth and held his own, but Villa went to the front in the eighth and ninth. Both boys fought hard in the tenth during which it must be admitted that Genaro stuck over some goud wallops, mainly due to the fact that Villa was wading in indifferent to punches and with the sole object of getting to his man. Genaro showed he is,a good little man and he fought a good fight, but to our eyes Villa was a little better and fought an even better fight. In the eyes of the judges all of Villa's good fighting counted for nothing and Genaro's efforts entitled him to the decision. Doubtless Johnny Kilbane will take this as another excuse for ducking New York decisions. Elino Flores scored a four-round K. O. over Eddie Clifford. Some of the fans intimated that Eddie should have had on his diving suit instead of his fighting pants. It looked as if Flores out-gamed the Greenpoint boy. The Filipino boy was staggered in the first round but proved he could take it. Clifford went down twice in the third and was saved by the bell, apparently to Clifford's regret. The weights were Flores 135, Clifford 126, Packey O'Gatty and Jack Hausner went ten rounds to a draw, which is about all that need be said for this fracas, We might add the weights, which were 126 for O'Gatty and 123% for Hausner.
