Pitcher Arthur Lundin was continued
at second base. Errors by him in the
eighth and ninth innings allowed the
TALES that tied and won for Daven-
port. The score was to ,.
Aside from Lundin's blunders and
one at first by Lister. which, by the
way did not bring any figures into
the Davenport column, the Colts
played clean and pretty fielding
game, Thornton and CorkhiH making
several brilliant catches of long flies
md Lister doing some fancy work
with the stick, having to his credit
three hits. two of which were two
baggers.
Lakaff, who pulled out victory for
the Colts in the opening game of the
series Saturday was sent in again to
deliver the twisters yesterday
and ii was no fault of his that the
Davenport team was permitted to
even up on him. But one hit was had
off him until the sixth inning. when
three were punched for one score.

WHY GRIPS LEFT
FRISCO QUIETLY

According 10 the statement Of Floyd
Mcfarland, the cycle rider who lately
returned from Australia accompanied by
Fred schepps. the short-dIstance cham
pion OF the Antipodes. who won the 81 100
Austral wheel race, both OF whom are
entered In the races at Manhattan
Beach next Sunday. the claim that
Arthur Grips, the middle weight boxer.
was troubled with cold feet is without
foundation
1t is we'll remembered that Grips, who
boxed Jack Williams in Philadelphia,
and was later matched with Tommy
Ryan IN Frisco. quietly sailed from the
Western metropolis for his native coun-
try without sending the news broadcast.
II wa generally believed by lovers of
boxing in this section that Grips was
afraid to meet Ryan.
Il was with Grips in Frisco aid
Mcfarland to an Evening World man,
and you III take It from me that he
was not afraid Of Ryan, He vas a very
sick man In more ways h a one. In the
first place. shortly after he arrived in
California he was taken dow with a
fever that Is supposed to have lain
- We w A'
was in Africa n couple OF months ago.
After he started to recover. his
throat becnme affected and developed
a healthy case OF tonsilitis. Not being
able to train and with nothing in
sight. he decided that II was better
to start home His showing in the
Enst, which was considered only fair
by fistic experts was also due to his
poor health.
II am firmly convinced that, had he
been physically Mt and strong. he could
have made either Ryan or Jaok O'Bnen
step lively, In Australia they thought
hin n clever boxer, and he was looked
upon as the champion middle-weiEht.
My only idea in telling about Cripps's
true condition is that I do not want
the sporting public In the East to
consider him n gutter when he really
is a clever, willing and game man
