JACK TWIN CONCLUDES
HIS TRAINING STUNTS
LIGHTER WORK UNTIL TUESDAY
is THE ORDER
Clever MiddeWeIght Is in Fine Fettle
and BubbIing Over With Conf
dence of Winning From Burns in
the Coming Battle

Jack Twin Sullivan has concluded
his hard training for the mill with
Tommy Burns Tuesday night and will
do lighter work from now on.
He went several fast rounds with
Mike Twin yesterday afternoon, and
the way they walloped one another
would have caused Pa Sullivan to bring
out the family switch had he been at
the ringside.
They roughed it in great style, and
there were no brotherly taps as they
laid the glove against one another.
Mike is the cleverer of the pair and
possesses a strong arm. He is lightning
fast and exhibits the value of head
work in his boxing.
When they had finished their bout
both were as red as beets and perspir-
ing freely. Mike is soft and out of
condition, but this did not show to any
extent. Big Jack went at him hammer
and tongs, but Mikes cleverness and
speed overcame the difference in
weight, and he landed regularly upon
the head of his twin brother.
Fight fans were there in force, and
the fast work of the pair was applauded
from time to time. When the family
fight continued after the tap of the
gong, as they mixed it in lively fashion
the crowd became enthusiastic and
gave audible approval of the pretty
work
Jack is in fine fettle and as strong as
bull. He is hard worker and when
ne steps into the ring Tuesday night he
will be ready to fight the battle of his
lifetime. If he loses there will be no
question as to the merits of the men.
Burns is going at fast clip at North
Beach and is equally as confident Of
winning as is Jack Twin. Neither will
have any excuses after the fight
Burns has been working faithfully and
shows up fine.
This battle promises to be one of the
best ever pulled off in Los Angeles, an1
the match is so even that 1t is toss
up between the admirers of the two as
to who will win. The general sentiment
is inclined in Jack Twins favor, but
Burns is not lacking in support.
Sullivan will have Mike Twin, Her
rera and Frank Lewis in his corner
and Burns will be loked after by Spider
Kelly, Eddie Hanlon, Coach Hutch and
Warren Zubrick.

each of the little men will train hard

Herrera has a mule kick that Is the

Game by Handy Score
of 8 to I
Los Angeles 8, Tacoma I

Dolly Gray was the physician who
prescribed the dose given the Tigers
yesterday and the Angels are accord
ingly a few notches nearer to the
coveted bunting than on the previous
day.
Dolly pitched all around Keefe, allow
ing Tacoma five measly hits, nicely
scattered, off of which the northerners
scored q bare sufficiency to escape an
other kalsomining.
The story would not be complete
without noting the fact that Dolly, in
addition to pitching a great game, was
a star performer all the way round.
He made two hits out of the three
times UP, one being a two-bagger which
scored Ross with ruin number two,
scored the first run and accepted the
four chances that came his way with
out an error. That's going some.
Ross was also there with the ash.
Three trips to the plate resulted in
two clean singles He also came across
the pan with the run which added the
sufficiency for a boost of the Angels up
the ladder toward the flag.
Brashear, the old dependable, batted
at 800 clip, getting two hits and a
run out of four journeys to the plate.
Cravath tried for his usual home run,
got the ball up against the center field
fence on the fly, but Lynch became
famous by knocking it down and hold
ing onto it. The play, however. re-
suited in a run as Breshear trotted in.
Nordyke was the feature of the
Tigers game, he getting three hits out
of four times up.
All games will commence at 2.30
o'clock hereafter on Sundays and week
days.
Baum will go in for the Angels today
and Emerson, who officiated in the ten
inning tie of Thursday, is billed for
the Tigers slab work.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Amid the
frenzled plaudlts of more than $4,000
baseball enthusiasts, the New York Ma
tional league champions won the worlds
professional baseball championship on
the polo grounds today by defeating
the Philadelphia American league team
in the fifth game of the post season
series by the score of to 0.
OF the four previous games New
York had won three and Philadelphia
one. With Matthewson pitching, New
York took the opening game from Phil
adelphia, but lost the second on the
polo grounds, with Bender pitted
against McGinnity Matthewson re-
ceived this defeat in the ensuing game
at Philadelphia, making the record two
for New York against their opponents
one, and In the next game on the home
grounds New York, with McGinnity in
the box, added another victory.
Matthewson and Bender confronted
each other today in what proved to be
the final contest. In the opening in
ming the New York pitcher was APP
parently not at his best, while his
Indian adversary afforded a splendid
exhibition of the pitchers art.
Matthewson, however, soon rallied,
and although he contributed the only
two fielding errors in the game he held
the visitors safe.
The victory, however was not due so
much to his effectiveness as to the
clean, sharp fielding of the New York
men. The visitors weakened in the
infield, and after his brilliant apening,
Bender lost control. Attendance, 24,20O
