FIGHT WENT SIX ROUNDS.
Stronger Than O'Brien at
the Finish,

Jack O'Brien and Bob Fitzsimmons
fought the fastest six-round bout ever wit
I essed in Philadelphia Saturday afternoon
between men of their weight. When the
gong announced the close of the fight both
men were on their feet. but both bore the
marks Of the gruelling fight they had just
been through. Fitzsimmons' lips were twice
their normal size. and his left eye was al
most closed. while O'Brien's left eye was
also cut and swollen.
Although O'Brien landed the greater num-
Der of blows they did not do nearly so
much damage as those handed out by Fitz-
simmons. and the latter was the fresher at
the close of the fight. There not a
clean knockdown in the fight, but three
times OBrien went to the floor, twice try
ing to get away from Fftzsimmors. and the
third time partly from FitZsimmonS' right.
which landed his neck, and partly
through his feet getting tangled.
The first three rounds were In O'Brien's
favor. but after that he grew trif1e slow
from the pace that he had set, and FitZ-
simmons was able to get in some hard
blows on the body. Both men were cover
ed with blood when they went to the cor
ners at the close of the fifth round, O'Brien
bleeding from a cash over the left eye, and
Fitzsimmons from the mouth and nose.
Both men were in distress when the sixth
round closed. but Fitzstmmons was appar-
eI.tly in the better condition.

pitched directly between the pitchers box
and the grand stand, Immediately over the

1t was the first open air boxing exhibition
ever given in Philadelphia. and drew a
crowd Of about 6.OOo. Mayor Weaver had
prevented the first meeting between the
men, saying that it was to be a prize fight
and illegal. Later the fight promoters went
into court and satisfied the judge that 1t
was to be boxing exhibition and within
tho scope Of the law Under this agreement
a permit was granted.
There was a liberal sprinkling of women
in the grand stand. and sitting close to the
ring side was Mrs Fitzsimmons. who for

close of the fgh: his wife rushed over to
his corner, climbed the steps leading to the
ring and planted kiss on the badly swollen
Inns Of her husband.

went to Apawamis. this making his second
season at the Rye club.
Since Anderson began playing In open
championships in this country his record
has been nothing short Of remarkable.
His first attempt at a national event was
In 1897. at Wheaton, when he finished sec
ond. a single stroke behind Joe Lloyd. the
winner. The following year found the
pros competing at MyOpia. where Ander-
son finished third. Fred Herd being first
and Alec Smith second.
He has since met the best golfers In
the country. and with ono exception since
ished in the money in every open tourna-
ment in which he has entered.
His recent success at Glenview Is still
fresh in the minds of all golfers. He takes
exception to the statement that golf with
him is a sort of second nature. He says
to the contrary that he is not a natural
golfer. but attributes his skill to the closest
kind Of study.

HIGH-CLAss TENNIS.
Larned Beat Wright in Straight Sets
in Seabright Tourney.

Holding to the superb form that he has
shown in all of his recently played matches.
William A. Larned defeated Beals e.
Wright Saturday in the tennis challenge
contest for the Achelis cup at the end OF
the invitation tournament Of the Seabright
N. J., Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club. The
victory brought out all the finer points ana
proved the strength of Larned's game. The
score was Ga, 6t1. IS. The first prize In
the round robin doubles was won by the
Wrenn brothers. despite their somewhat
erratic showing in several of their matches
The contest for the challenge cup was
the chief contest Of the day. and. as the
Harvard man had been showing good ten
mis-. 1t was predicted that he would at least
make Larned fight FIVE sets. Both over
head and off the ground Wright was In
fine form, but Larned a shade the
better. and his shots came Off with the
characteristic easy grace that indicates 10
the expert that Larned Is playing on the
top of his game. 1t was on the invincible
defensive game and the pretty accuracy
Of his playing for passes and close cross
court drives that Larned surpassed Wright
and earned his victory.
Both Of the doubles ma tches went through
three sets. The Wrenn brothers defeated
Larned and Wright, GO. 3-8. So giving
a splendid exhibition of timely lobbing as
a part Of the American attacking game.

dash and aggressiveness. Harvard's pair.

mond since thantmak1s ono seel thu. an
earthquake has M American circuit.
Starting with he t&mes on last Tues
league have playad havoc with thasr sass AT.
ern rivals. and It doesn't look as II the
storm was all over yet. Since last T,,as.
day the Boston team has lost six games
straight. the Athletics have lost 1--WE out
OF six. including four In a row to Clsve.
land. and New York has been defeated IN
four out Of FIVE Contests
Of the three big western teams Cleveland
has struck a terrific pace. Tney have wor,
seven games straights rShscaxo has LANDED
five In q row and st. Louis has won fo,,r
out OF five. In other words In ave piavinr
days three eastern clubs have won only
two games out Of seventeen. and three
western teams haVb Captured sixteen victor
les in seventeen gamse.
Such a record az this has probably never
neen surpassed IN the history Of the game.
The result OF 1t is-to make the eastern fol-
lowers OF the American League doubtf,,i
about the pennant and to raise the homes Of
the western contingent. There is only one
past week. This is that the western teams
have completely outplayed their eastern
rivals.
OF the defeats Of the Athletics bv c1eve-
land only one was case Of hard luck
That was the eleven-inning contest ON
Saturday afternoon, when a wild throw by
Waddell gave the Napoleons two Of their
runs. and the winning tally was scored be-
in front of the home plate and Murphy

bat.
The race in the American League is now
a ffve-cOrnered affair. for with Boston
showing such weakness every one of the
other four teams will be encoura ged to
make hard bid for leading honors. With
the Bostonians it looks as IL the long
strain has told on them and it would not
be surprising were they to make a Door
record from this out
Both the Athletics and New York should
get out Of their slump in a hurry The re-
verse Of MackS men. after they had won
seven out Of eight games from Chicago and
st. Louis. has been the biggest surprise OF
the season. No one anticipated such
tumble. The cause Of it was simply the
Cleveland team.
The latter have put up a truly wonder
full article of ball. They have hit the ball
hard. they have folded almost perfectly
their pitchers have outtwirled those of the
Athletics and they have exhibited a caliber
Of team play which was supposed to be
beyond them. In every respect their play
ing has been Of the championship caliber.
On their present form nothing on the dia-
mond could stop them The question is,
therefore. can Cleveland keep 1t up? II
they can. then the pennant will fly in Cleye-
land.
that 1t looks very much as though the
west had an excellent chances of winning
the championship.

won and lost and the gain or loss in per-
