the Lavigne who so thoroughly polished of
Joe Walcott only few months ago. In
this showing one can find reason for
Lavignes refusal to again take on Jack
DAILY, for the Wilmington lad is without
doubt a crack and would the next time
make q most strenuous effort to oust the
present champion out of his seat. Erne was
probably a surprise for Lavigne, who in all
likelihood did not expect him to be such
tough bundle as he found him.
The coming month ought to see some good
nstic battles. Among those that are slated
is one between Tommy Ryan and Jack Bon
ner, in which the former will make his
formal debut into the middeweight di-
vision, where he has long belonged. 1t Is
an opportune time for Ryan to do this, for
now that Fltzsimmons and Mccoy are prob
ably unable to reach the weight limit and
Dan Creedon is labeled with the has been
sign, he will not find many doughty oppon-
ents to oppose him in his march to the
championship. Besides this go there Is a
possible scrap in prospect between Santry
and Dixon, the Lavigne- Burge affray and
several Of lesser account.
1t looks as IL the boxing game had run
to the end of its rope in sleepy Quakertown,
which, by the way, is hardly as sleepy as it
is generally painted. During recent months
there have been a considerable number OF
affairs pulled off in Philadelphia, some OF
them of quite bit of interest, and condi-
uions have been far more healthy than
those in Gotham. Since Doc Payne was
used up in the ring a week ago, however.
the boxing clubs have been notified to dis
continue their contests, and for a little at
least one need not expect to hear OF any
glove meetings there. 1t is something of
a coincidence that just at this time there
seems to be a lessening OF the restraints
that were put about the game in San Fran
cisco, the Santry- Dixon and the proposed
Jeffries-Corbett matches are slated to take
place on the coast.

PALAVER OF THE PUGILISTS
Kid McCOy's COwardly Kick Ends Any
Probability of Meeting Be-
tween He and Corbett.

In that little incident in New York the
other day Kid Mccoy demonstrated that
he has more than jabs and hooks and cuts
in his pugilistic repertoire and at the same
time proved that he is amply capable of
raising the yellow bunting of a cowardly
spirit. 1t would have been a good thing
and would have been universally applauded
had Mccoy stepped forward with an invita-
ton to fray with skinless gloves, but his
kneeing and kicking of Corbett was the
act of a cur and will stamp him as such in
the minds of the admirers of the roped
arena. To crown it all he ran away when
the Pompadour made his attempt to get
after him.
1t is to be hoped that this is the last act
in that pugilistic bluff which was slated to
culminate in meeting in Buffalo on October
10. 1t is settled that this affray will never
come off and the whole result of it has been
that the boxing game is brought into
further dIsrepute. 1t would be an excellent
thing II the heavyweight class could be
purged Of its McCoys and Corbetts and made
up OF a lot of fighters such as are seen in
the lighter poundages.
Corbett declares that he now proposes to
go out after bigger game. The marks that
he has picked so far are Jeffries and Shar-
key. The pugllistc public will look with
interest to see whether he will really try to
meet the latter.
Sharkey has been wandering so long with
a chip on his shoulder that report has it that
Charley Mitchell will come over the pond
with Dick Burge to accommodate him with
a scrap. The Engllshman is getting rather
! old and passe for the game with the mitts
and 1t is not likely that he would last long
before the stalwart rough -and-tumble sailor
lad. 1t is not probable that If he is in earnest
about such meeting. but II he is he will
not have to wait on Sharkey l1ng. The
! latter has demonstrated that he Is not a
parlor fighter such as some OF the top
/ notchers among the heayies have proven
themselves. He is likely to take on almost
anybody who cares to go against him.
The weakened showing that Kid Lavigne
made against Erne the other night was not
| entirely unexpected. 1t is no secret that
! this premier two handler hitter OF his pound
age couple Of years ago has been daily
ing too numerousiy of late with the Hagon
that flows. While Erne is a vicious fighter
and can take any amount OF punishment, he
| is not OF caliber that ought to worry a
| champion, unless OF late he has made re-
markable improvement. Consequently the
fact that he plainly outpointed Lavigne
! even though he did not secure the decision
seems 10 be proof OF the fact that the
Layigne who confronted him is no longer

According to foreign chess columns DR.,
Tarrasch has challenged Lasker to a match
for s., 900 a side and the chess championship
OF the world. The intelligence does not
seem to be so generally credited on this
side, however, because OF the fact that
Tarrasch is not in the habit of making pro-
posals OF that sort. He has never been
prominent as a match player but believes
that the question Of chess supremacy should
be determined by international tournaments
rather than by individual contests. There
is much talk of visit from Janowski, the
brilliant Polish player from Paris, who
wishes to meet Showalter in match at the
Manhattan club. There would be little sig
nihcance in the contest. however, as neither
OF the players is a representative champion.

reason why Herculean Hot Oil in

The increase in the pitchers effectiveness
or the decrease in batting skill has this year
resulted In much lighter batting than in any
season since the lengthenlng OF the pitching
distance. There has also been an unusual
number OF pitching feats as a consequence
OF the light batting. At the new pitching
distance until this year there was but one
pitcher who came anywhere near pitching
a full game without a hit being made of
him. In a game pitched by Cy Young for
Cleveland against Cincinnati last year, the
Cleveland scorers credited him with hit
less game, but the Cincy scorers claimed
that three plays that were scored as errors
should have been hits. Barring this one
questionable game 1t was rare occur
renee until this year to see fewer than
five hits per game. So far this season, how
ever, there have been l5O games and more
in which one side or the other has made
ouly hye hits or less. In about 100 games
