Because Of the small attendance the

The luck broke even. washington

Washington's American League
team acquired another recruit this

He explained that he had personal
difficulties with the Erie manage
ment, which had nothing to do with
his playing, and had been summar-
lily released. All he wanted was one
chance TO show his ability, and he
was confident he would make good.
Cantilloa promptly told Mcdonald to
beg or steal a uniform from some Of
the other players and report for prac-
tiee before the game this afternoon,

NEW YORK, Aug 91.-That yarn
from Frisco which brands the Kauf-

strongest we ever heard.
All through the fight Mike went at Al

at every turn. His giant opponent ham

until his mead buzzed. and feeling that
he probably had enough. he rolled over
like Sam Pruitt, and let them count
Sam Pruitt is the big coIored gent who
was knocked down. and. thinking he
had enough, stuck there. The referee
counted up TO six and was yelling seven
when Sam. with sad eye, peeked up
and said;
Mr., Referee. you can count thou
sand, won't move
Mr.. Schreck had enough, and he knew
it.
If Nike did lay down and bet on Kauf-
mann, that doesn't bring Kaufman into
the limelight as a faker. He fought hon
estly, and was willing to lose honestly.
II there was any dirty work at all
Schreck was the main guy IN 1t. and
should take all the blame.
It IS strange that those wise seribes
discover fake in the contest so soon.
