NEWS wm. Te T MeN ©O Boxing Usually a Political Tar- get Around Election Day. “The open season for boxing Is now on. Boxing is fair game for any poll- Uclan or State office holder from Sept. 1 to Election Day, There’s no limit to the hag. The office holder, always a candi- date for re-election, looks over the stock of vote getters and decides that he can't lose anything by shooting a Tew loads of verbal buckshot ‘at box- ing, boxing promoters, boxers and fol- lowers of boxing. In former years going gunning for boxing has been one of the safest sports known at any State capital. No matter how small bore the poll- fictan’s gun is, promoters, boxers and fight fens have always scuttled for cover like a flock of quail, at the first shot. It may prove to be a slightly different proposition this year, with boxing strongly supported all over the country by war veterans who learned fo love the game when it furnished mlmost the sole relief from the grind of military training, and with capable commissions governing the sport in many States. The favorite way of attacking box- ing is to write a letter to the Gover- nor, advocating smaller prices for boxing shows; alleging that promo- ters and boxes are “robbing the pub- lic” by taking in huge gates and ac- cepting huge purses, hinting that boxing isn’t on the level anyhow and taking a crack at the Governor for allowing himself to be bamboozled into signing a boxing bill when it came before him. Having written his letter te the Governor the candidate rushes @ lot of carbon copies to the newspaper offices, the star ‘Then perhaps the letter to the} se: J Governor is mailed, But that's a} Garden, Sept. 2 mere detail, Perhaps it isn’t.

And when a sportsman is willing to travel thousands of miles at an ex- pense of from $500 to $1,000, he does- n't grudge paying $60 for a chance to rit close to the ropes. It would be funny to travel from Australia to New York to occupy a $7 seat at a championship fight Jack Dempsey, ving with his man- ager in the same New York hotel patronized by Babe Ruth and other fumous athletes, says that he has given up all idea of boxing any of his challengers except Harry Will and that he is waiting only for the promoters and boxing officials to no- tify lim that arrangements have been made and the match is on.

By Bozeman Bulger. CHICAGO, Sept. 14. HE Yanks have an additional half 4p game lead over the Browns this morning and our noble acions of the East are now preparing to do battle on a much larger scale. The champs are pleased but not proud. The feat of the Red Sox in trimming the enemy at St. Louis is alone -es- ponsfble for the hearty appetites ob- served in their dining room this morning. They had not heard of the Browns’ defeat last night at dinner and the hotel made quite a profit. The triumphal entry into Chicago, heralded by our experts with wealth of adjectives, was really sort of a bust. Instead of the thunder ot big guns so aptly painted by our description writers of note, our open- ing shot was more like the pursting of a cap on a musket. The White SSx, firm bellevers in normalcy, quietly walked up and put our nobis Yanks in thetr place by crowning them with @ sock in the first game.

The Giants have etill three games to play the Pirates, and the Yankees a like number to meet the Browns, which later se- ries starts Saturday. ae Urban Faber did the swinging and did it with deadly effect. But for the steady firing of Babe Ruth and Wallie Pipp in the second stage of the combat we might have All the firing was done at short range, indicating earnest endeavor on the pagt of our boys to win the ball game. One run at a time instead of the heavier bombardments for glory. What glory there was goes to Pipp, ~ Ruth and Schang. Hoyt pitched well too. In the first game the Yanks played bad baseball. They were not them- straightened out for the rest of the afternoon. They did manage to swim ashore in the second and the East was saved. Bullet Joe Bush has been se- lected to hurl the pill at the enemy, to-day, and it may be that Leverett will pull the trigger for the Sox. This ought to bring results, but our con- clusions and prophesies of yesterday, were logical we thought, and still the opportunity of winning a double- header busted right in our faces. You can't tell. Col. Huston, who is on the ground and closely watched by his son, Gapt. Huston of the regular army, declares that we must first clear out box No. 24, which was oo- cupied during the opening combat by, the two all star jinxes of baseball. Hi refers to William Fleischmann and Bill Pipp, father of Wallie, who have Journeyed all the way out here to see what \as what. Their presence, he claims, put the bee on the champs, Among the players who answered mess call last night immediate interest lay in the wild mid-morning mide of Everett Scott, who saved his rec- € ord of 970 games by a wild dash over ~ hill and dale and arrived on the field battle in the sixth inning. Unitke Frank Merriwell or Swat Milligan, though, he did not land a ponderous blow for the cause. He merely saved his record. Scotty was visiting his people to Bluffton, Ind., and started from a place called Auburn at 4 o'clock in the morning to rejoin the main body. The train threw a cylinder or some- thing and was wrecked, and Chicago fifty miles away. Seeing his record hanging In the balance Fverett Scott leaped into a racing car, dug deep with his spurs, and let out for Steu- venville, There he got checked again nd caught the interurban trolley at Gary, Ind. He saw time slipping, It was 12 o'clock and Chicago still forty miles away. His Paul Revere spirit arose, He called the first taxicab he saw, the only one in Gary, and ar- rived in time, but the taxicab fare was $40 bucks, That was the thrill of the ride so ardently discussed by, the athletes—forty bucks. Arriving at the grounds Scotty, found things going badly, His tear mates seemed to have something in their neck—a lump or something, with Samuel P. Jones getting sadder and sadder as things wore on. So a# Scotty looked on the sox had runners on first and second with one out. ‘alk, at bat, gave the signal for @ hit end run play. As the play started Dugan ran to cover third and Mo= Nally to cover second. Falk there- upon smacked the pill between the two and a nice palr of runs won the ball game, They say there is little sportsman- ship in baseball, but the Yank players showed no elation whatever over the news from St. Louis of the injury to Sisler. In fact, they were down right sorry, even though he is big gun of the Browns. Oliie Chill, the umpire, returned to gesticulate for or against the Yanks yesterday after an absence of five weeks, It was reported that he had undergone a delicate operation. “Must've been his eyes,’’ declared Bill Fleischmann, “and he aint cured yet. They let him out too soon nnd," added the unpartisan Mr. Fleisch mann, “if they know anything theyll operate on Bill Dineen to-morrow. pS Seti M’MANUS OF YANKEES MARRIES MISS M’CLAINE Charles T, McManus, assistant se6- retary to the Yankee baseball team, and Miss Mae C.
