COLLISION TERRIFIC
STRAIT AND FLANAGAN GOT
 TOGETHER.
Neither Knew of Others Presence Un- til Their Heads Met-Gritty Third Baseman Held Ball Until Um-
 pire Said It Was Out.

Nashville, Tenn, June 1S.-(Special)-It is believed tonight that Spratt will be able to play in the game tomorrow. His injuries from the collision with Flana- gan were extremely painful and the re- suits immediately following looked seri- ous. Spratts head came into terrific col lision with that of Flanagan, almost all the teeth in his mouth being knocked out. Flanagan was also painfully hurt, and finished the game groggy. Had he been in his usual crack shape, Wiseman' s three-bagger would have netted about two bases only. Both men went hard after the ball, a foul knocked back of third. Looking upwards as they ran, neither knew the other was near until their heads came together, and they both went down.
 Spratt gamely held to the ball, showed it to the umpire and when the batter was called out, both Spratt and Flanagan fell back on the ground. It was about tif- teen miutes before they could get back to playing. Spratt then wanted to play second, short, first, anything but third and then wanted to play third. He acted in the queerest manner and finally Um. pire Brennan allowed him to retire. For time it was feared Spratt was in a most serious condition. but he is much better late tonight. Despite the difficulties un- der which Montgomery labored, the team played the prettiest and fastest ball seen on the Nashville diamond this season.

 TON" A FIASCo.
Small Montgomery Boys Were Intro duced in Preliminary Bouts and Local Man Met the "Cham-
 pion of France"

It was funny, that "sparring exhlbi- ton" at Highland Park last night
 About 100 deluded persons saw Edward De Groote alleged champion of France, and Mat Carlson, Montgomery youngster, fan the air with boxing gloves and in the absence of real sport 1eereu laughed and screamed in an enort 10 get their moneys worth
 Over Montgomery placards were yester- day seen advertising that Edward ,,iCte De Groote, champion of France ana Bllly West "Cincinatis famous welter weight would give an up to date sparrlng e&h- bition at Highland Park.
 Edward DeGroote was there, whether as champion of France or just plain Edole DeGroote deponent saith not. Bllly west didn't answer to his name when the roll was called. An explanation from Monsieur DeGroote was made to the eftect that William West had seen he was up against a bad game and had Jumped IT, Monsieur DeGroote, who speaks Flsh au- mirably announced. however, that Mat Carton would stay with him for lew rounds, as he would not disappolnt the patriotic audience.
 On the program was the announcement that before the battle royal between De Groote and the Montgomery boxer two preliminary matches would be pulled off. The first bout was for feather weights, at no pounds and Jack LeVene and Mick Cassidy were scheduled to do things. If Jack IeVene exer existed or such per son as Mick Cassidy ever lived, last nights events did not enlighten the audi ence on the subject, for two little Mont gomery boys, names unknown, trottfd into the ring and gracefully reclining on soda water boxes took their corners.
 The boys, one of whom an admiring playmate termed Eddie were stripped with the exception of pair of red white and blue, running trunks and were evident ly not accustomed to appearing in public in such costume. Both blushed to the roots of their hair and looked suspicious iy at Patrolman Sheally, who was there to see that the game was played accord Ing to the sparring rules of Captain A. s. Gerald
 Evidently the boys were acquainted with the ordinances concernig exposure of the person as they looked scared.
 DeGroote acted as referee and inciden- tally told the boys just when to fall down. The youngsters pranced away from each other for three short rounds. falling down every time they came within shouting distance of one another.

The officers returned the fire and a lively conflict followed and about 100 shots were exchanged at long range. Walden Wicket was shot in the arm and seriously wounded and the officers re, turned and left the full bloods masters of the situation.
 The officers were unable to state wheth- CT any of the Indians were shot or not, but thought they were.

ners. For the boy billed as Kid Carter, Angular Ava Crusius was second and for Johnnie McFadden, Joyous Joe Dunn held the bottle. This bout was an en- trely different affair from the first event ana was really amusing. DeGroote was sun ofhciating as referee and still eau tloned the boys to lie down, but the kids were game, and were as mad as hornets before they had been sparring five seconds: They went at each other ham mef and tongs and DeGroote was relieved or the necessity of telling the boys to lie down. Each did his best to put his opponent hors de combat. Both boys pounded away to their hearts content. after each round promising the other that ne was going to do deadly work the next tune Both were pretty well winded when time was called.
 1hen DeGroote with flourish unsweat- cred himself and for several rounds tried to hit Carlson. The Montgomery boy was elusive and all the champion" could de was to run after him.
 The showing against Carlson was not altogether creditable and he threw broad cast a challenge to meet any man of his weight for any amount of money. He closed his remarks with the assertion that he would remain in Montgomery until he could get enough money to go home.
 Although the audience had waited two hours to see the fun, they saw about thirty min ties of tame sparring.
