Kid Mccoy Spys
Squires Shovs
Nothing Classy

DETROIT. Mich. June 25.-Norman
Selby CKid Mccoy. who has been here
attending the automobile races, picks
Tommy Burns TO defeat Australian Bill
Squires in their battle, on July !.
Mccoy says:
Tommy Is an athlete all over. He
may not be the greatest hitter the world
has ever seen, but his defense is pretty
classy
las for Squires, I've had several let
tiers from friends out here. Ny friends
tell me that Squires hasn't shown q
thing 10 anybody He may be good.
He may be another Jack Munroe. So
far as advance dope goes, there hasn' I
been a thing said about Squires' ability
that wasn't said about Munroe when he
was training for Jeffries."

the whole, the Athletics had one gIori-

did fairly well in the second contest.
This game will be n memorable one for
little Jimmy Dygert. Since his debut in

The sw8t-fest in the hrst contest was
thoroughly enjoyed by 9,O43 swat-fest
spectators. The commander in chief
was Ossie Schreck. who lined out three
singles and a double. He would have
had two doubles but for a great one

only one Athletic man who didn't add
a hit TO his batting average, and that
was Hartsel, bGt 'Topsy' did his part
with two free trips TO first. each Of

The natural hypothesis would be that
Sullivan was the originator of the al

would not be impossible to believe that
the careers and associations of Sullivan
and his mendac1Ous and insignificant

Where They Get Their Money.

Perhaps their own methods suggested
to them that no man could really be in
terested In amateur athletics and work
for its welfare without expecting a re-
turn in current coin. In fact. this seems
quite a reasonable view of their eager
ness to say 1 was trying to touch
Sullivan, and / believe II will appeal TO
many others. The disinterested Sulli-
van is press agent and general handy
man for one of the largest sporting
goods houses in the world. and Conlen
has a Job as director of athletics at
jamestown. May they save their money
and invest it wisely

Complaint was made TO the detec-
tives last night Of money thefts from
two residences. In one case suspicion
is said TO point TO a servant while in
the other the detectives are without a
clue.
Ernest Poindexter. living at Forty
seventh place and the New Cut road,
reported that $50. in IS and SO bills,
was stolen from him yesterday. Miss
Frieda Wonn, living at the same ad-
dress. says two IS bills were taken
from her pOcketbOOk.
Miss Alice 3 Keyl, Of 312 Indiana
avenue northwest, attributes her loss
Of S1L75 TO a dishonest servant. She
informed the police that the servant,
about thirty years old and very black
went to work at the house on Friday
and disappeared yesterday morning.
When IL was discovered that she had
gone Miss KeyI looked for her money.
She Immediately communicated with
the police.

the person who stole his silver watch.
He says it was in a coat at his home
