SEAGER AND BURNS

Man Who Beet Kid Sullivan Must
Defend Title in
Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Md. Aug. 3-Never has
"a boxing contest in this city this season
created as much talk as Wednesday
nights hIteen-rOund mill between Sol
der Burns, the lightweight champion
OF the South, and Harry (Kid) Seager,
his near local rival The bout Will be
before the members of the Eureka Ath-
leuc Club at the Monumental TheaJer.
SeaEer and Burns now occupy the
leading positions In the lightweight
class In this city and as both men have
folio wings, naturally considerable inter
est has been wrought up over the clash
ing of the pair. Burns, because of his
two successive defeats Of Kid Sullivan.
the former lightweight champion OF the
South. IS a slight favorite in the bet
ting, but there seems TO be a lot or
Seager money In sight.
The friends of Seager think he has an
excellent chance to win, as he has been
performing in brilliant style for the past
year OF more. Early last season he
went To Philadelphia and fought half
dozen or more Of Philadelphia leading
boxers and did very well. making a
phIa boxers. Seaser, under the handling
Of Jack Blackburn, the well-knOwn Phil

his work. Not long ago Seager beat
Kid Atteus the local Ghetto champion,
who only two weeks before his mill
with SeaEeT knocked out Joe TipInan in
short order.

BURNS WON'T ADMIT
THE FIGHT STORY
Says His Lay-off Is Due
to Strain in
Pitching.

A genuine surprise was sprung on the
Washington fans when Bill Burns,
Washington's best left-handed pitcher,
turned up here last night and announr a
that he had come home 10 nurse a lore
side
The immediate inference from these
doeful ana Jolting udings was that Bill
mad been bumped so hald in his horrid
strife with Bob Ganley on the bench in
ST. Louis last Wednesday that he had
been sent home for repairs This was
strengthened by a report Ia a morning
paper that the gentle William was even
today IN ST. Louis hospital receiving
treatment. When the fact that Bill was
here was placed alongside the positive
statement that he was in the repair
shop in st. Louis the rumor stocks took
drop. and Bins own statement Of the
case appeared more credible.
Denies Wild Rumors.
Burns swore by the horns Of the
original Texas steer that he was not
Hswatted in the ribs by a bat IN the
hands Of Ganley. He said that he and
Ganley had vigorous contention one
WIN another on the bench in St. Louis
ana nearly came 10 blows, bui that the
incident went no further than the re-
tort discourteous. After their angry pas
sions subsidized II was all over, asserted
Bill' and they We're ready to play to-
gcther again.
Burns said that he developed a sore
side from pitching while in St. Louis,
something like he had last spring, and
gradually got worse. He went to see a
doctor. who massaged and manipulated

Ganley Also Denies
He Hurt Bill Burns

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The Washington
players were much excited today over
a local story TO the effect that Bob
Ganley had hit Bill Burns with a bat
so seriously inJuring him that he's
laid up IN a hospital
Ganley himself says he never had my
quarrel with Burns other than the or
binary exchange OF sharp language be-
tween captain and a pitcher in a heat
ed game. Cantulon claims that the
story was invented by the same scribe
who recently told about a horrible riot
in the cubs clubhouse. resulting in the
injury Of Sheckard Zimmerman. and

KEELEYS SHOWING
VERY CREDITABLE
Youngster Should Have Won, and
Will Be a Valuable Regular
With More Work.

Washington split even in Chicago
yesterday when it lost the last game
there by TO / in ten innings.
This was an especially good showing
against the Sox on their native heath.
for that team has established "a remark
able record this season for winning At
home. In all the games Washington
played more OF less good ball except
that in which Bill Shipke made enough
errors TO last him a month and put all
hope Of winning out of the question.
The hest sign yesterday was the pitch
ing of Kelley. a youth of much promise
who might well have been sent TO the
mound in some Of the games Falkenberg
threw away for Washington when Falk-
enberg was called upon as a relief CONF
mittce Kelley is there with the head
work, has plenty of wide curves, and
is one Of the best fielding pitchers in
the league as Tar as mechanical detail
goes. II he were worked more and got
the actual experience against major op-
ponents he would be d sensation at
covering ground.
Not KeeIey's Fault.
Kelley lasted well enough yesterday
until the tenth inning, when Hahn
doubled 10 right and scored on Pat
Dougherty's drive That won the game
and scored a black mark against
keeley's record. but. as a matter of
fact, washington should have taken the
game by 20 O. The cause Of the Calam-
it's was Streets bad aim in the fourth
inning. Jones singled. DOugherty sent
Jones TO third with another single and
took second on the futile throw 10 nip
Jones Davis hit to Delehanty and
Jones was thrown out at the plate.
Dougherty steamed on from second past
third and was caught between the bags.
In running him down street made
wild shot that smOJe DCugheTty on the
ear, which detected the bail beyond
the reach OF the willing helpers, and
DDugherty scored.
IL was indeed hard lines that our kid
pitcher should be charged with losing
in such a manner but the Nationals
really had no kick coming, as they got
only two hits of Frank smith
Washington tailed largely by good
luck in the second inning; Street walked
and got second on MCBriGe's out. Free
man smashed a scTeameT at Smith.
The bah hit the pitchers glove, bounded
through shortstOp to left, and Street
scored. AIilau's single, nrst crack out
OF the box in the first inning, was the
only other safe swat by Washington
besides that of Freeman.
