HARD LUCK BEAT GRIFFITH
Little Manager Glad However He Did
Not Win Pennant.

Clarke Griffith, manager of the New
York American League team, was about
the corridors of the Victoria during the
recent baseball meeting. receiving both
congratulations and sympathy for his
showing I'm the last campaign.
with better luck we would have won
the pennant from Boston" said Griffith.
but after ALL ! am glad we didn't be-
cause it has once proven that baseball
is absolutely ON the square.
Our enemies took occasion to give
out the tip a month before the season
was over that we would win the pen
nant, because it had been fixed for ms,
and when Boston came here to play they
thought It was foregone conclusion that
we would come out victorious. Many
people, in fact, went TO the grounds to
see how the trick would be worked and
among these were many Of the pessimists
who always charge that ball games are
fixed. ] tell you it was easy to see many
disappointed face I'm the stands after
that first game, We had lost and our
chances were gone. But We put up game
fight ana proved that the game is on the
square"

fouled Goe Cans. Of Baltimore, in tn
fifth round. He had sent Cans to hi
knees in the nfth round. and then
losing his head. gave him a viciou
pinch, and Referee GTaney promptly
awarded the decision to Cans en-
foul. The same thing happened in the
fourth round Cans had dropped to his
knees to escape a blow that did not
land. Britt struck at him. but Granoy
would not allow the foul. In the next
round. however. Graney very promptly
recognized the foul fighting. 1t looked
almost from the start as If 1t were
Britt's fight. He actually outboxei
Cans and landed blow after blow
In the fourth round 1t was apparent
that Cans was scared and barring a
foul the fight was Britt's to a GER
tainty While no excuse can be made
for Britt losing his head, it certainly
seemed that Cans invited foul. The
result was a great shock to the biggest
crowd that ever filled the pavilion, but
fair-minded men agreed that Graney's
judgment was just Britt went at Cans
like a bull terrier, landing body blows
alternating with swings on the jaw.
Britt was frantic with rage when he
realized that he had lost the fight. and
rushed at Graney. striking wildly.

himself, fought back, but the police
interfered AID separated the belligsr-

Gently and suspicion fell upon Sandy for
no other reason than the fact that he

The articles stolen consisted Of gum

that the articles were stolen by river pi-
