Robert Tucker. the Western trainer
and owner struck a pay streak yes
terday at Jamaica and landed two good
ones on the bookmakers. His Wood
lane won the Greenfield stakes after
being almost backed off the boards. I
He pulled down $4,000 on that race
alone.
Clark Griffith announces that the
| differences between himself and Jack
Chesbro have been fixed up and that
the latter is soon to appear in uniform.
When right, Chesbro is one of the best
in the business and jim MCGUIRE is at
Chesbro's home in Conway getting him
into shape.
Wall street with its desperate
chances held no attraction for John W.
Gates, so he passed it up, and an
nounces that he viii stick to the ponies /
for diversion from now out. Gates is /
known as one of the greatest plungers |
the track has ever seen and the chances
are that he VIII remain so to the end. |
He had good luck last year and only |
dropped about $4,000.
Tommy Murphy. that crack little New |
Yorker sent Tony Bender TO the land
of dreams last night in three rounds |
before Tom O'Rourkes National Sport |
| ing club. The bout was slated to go |
ten rounds but Bender got Murphy's !
dander up when he put a wallop on
the latters jaw. Murphy then started |
to rush the game along and sent Ben
der through the ropes several times |
and at last for the count.
Jimmy Clabbe. the sterling little
Hammond boxer, is looking for a bout !
with some good boy at Chicago. Matty |
Baldwin, the crack Fastener who is
| on here to get a match with Packey
Mcfarland is one whom Clabbe thinks
he could hook up with. Per-
haps Baldwin might be bit strong
for the local lad, but there lot of
boys fighting hereabouts, and getting
away with the money, who would be
easy for Jimmy if he could get on with
them.
| 1t was the Cubs turn to lay off yes
| terday and after a two days rest the
Sox came to life and fought for four
teen innings with the Tigers and the
result was a tie game. It seems to be
the intention of the Sox manager this
year to use two pitchers in each game
and yesterday Doc White and Walsh
were on the slab Detroit wasted a
lot of hits, getting 10 to the Sox Z,
Mullen Mcintyre and Coughlin getting
three each. Hahn was there with the
willow yesterday and soaked out three
hits in fine style.
| Nothing has been heard from Bill
Squires or his manager in regard to the
offer of Jimmy Croffroth who is try
| ing to pit the Australian against the
winner of the Burns O'Brien bout in a
| twenty round battle. The manager
i wants the bout to take place three
weeks after the latter go but the boys
| claim that it would be too soon to re-
cover from their hard battle. Fail
ing to secure either Burns or
O'Brien. Crofroth will try to get Mike
Schreck on with Squires. However,
| the flnish-fight proposition between
Schreck and Squires at Tonopah on
July 4, is now up to Squires, and he
may accept the offer of a $4,000 purse.
The Baseball commission put the
Washington club people on the right
track yesterday when they decided that
Jake Stahl, the former first baseman
and captain of the team, should be
either sold or traded or a price of re-
| lease would be put on him by the
Big Three. Stahl is too good a player
to be kept out of the game by personal
differences, although he is capable of
earning good salary in some other
business. The report was a victory for
the player
The University of Illinois is rejoic-
ing over the prospective return OF Geo.
A. HUFF, who resigned as manager of
the Boston Americans and will return
10 the fold next Saturday. Mr.. Huff
evidently was not impressed with his
duties as a professional manager and
told John I. Taylor so yesterday. Be
sides, the money consideration was
some different according to the latest
offer of the University. The announce
ment came as surprise to the Boston
people as he stated but few days ago
that he was going to stick to Boston.
Robert Unglaub, the captain and first
sacker Of the club, was appointed to
I'LL his place and so pleased was he
with the job that he walloped out a
three Dagger and won the game with
