CHICAGO MIGHT
GRAB BOTH

1t is possible for Chicago teams
to win both National and American
league pennants. If Boston can
win single game from New York,
Chicago cinches the National
league pennant.
To win the American pennant
the Chicago team must win the
two remaining games from Detroit
and Cleveland must win all three
of its games from ST. Louis to
head Chicago off, providing Chica-
go takes its games from Detroit,
and Cleveland must win all three
of its games from st. Louis to
head Chicago off, providing Chica-
go takes it's games from Detroit.
Chicago today leads the Nation
al league race with a percentage Of
Gal. with Pittsburg five points be-
hind and New York three points
behind Pittsburg.
In the American league Detroit
leads with $50, Cleveland second
with $3.50 and Chicago third with
$50.
The National team yesterday de-
feated Pittsburg to and the
Americans trimmed Detroit 3 to 1.
The only other game in the big
leagues was a tie between ST
Louis and Cleveland in the Ameri-
can, score to after II innings
There were $4,000 paid admis-
sions in the Chicago games.

bRAOLEYS WIN
FIRST ONE

The first of the post-season Sun
day series to determine the pen
nant winner of the City league re-
suited in victory for the Bradleys
over the Cubs yesterday by a
score of 7 to 6. A record crowd
turned out expecting a fight to a
finish and was not disappointed.
The Bradleys scored three runs in
the ninth, two of them being al
lowed by Pitcher Coins, who forced
them in. Max Lundburg held the
Cubs down to nine singles. Steltz
pitched eight innings for the Cubs
and was found for five runs and
seven hits, threw one wild and hit
two. Coins went in in the ninth
and was poor investment.
Manager Harry Campbell of the
Cubs has protested the game on
the grounds that Umpire Dean al
lowed the Rradleys to change the
batting order under protest of Cap
tain Thompson. The umpire claims
the Cubs made no protest.

INDIANS HOLD
FOURTH SAFE

The Northwestern league season
is all over. Even the shouting is
over. That ended quite awhile age
in Spokane. From start to finish
the contest was not close all the
time, by reason of Vancouver S
squirt which none of the other
teams could begin to crimp. While
Vancouvers started out in poor
shape, it did not take Captain Nor.
dyke long to whip his men into a
pennant winning stride which
never slackened. The Spokane In.
dams held the lead for time and
looked like sure winners, but the
managers, money made over the
large attendance here, made the
mistake of absorbing the continu-
Gus baseball notion with the in
evitable result-the players got
stale. Aberdeen was strengthened
early in the season and when the
Cats got into motion were contend
ers for the pennant. Tacoma play
ed consistently all through the sea-
son. The hard luck team of all
was the one in Butte. Lack of
support drove Russ Hall and his
men out of the smoke laden burg
and for a team that was on the
road so long its showing was re-
markable. Although the Outcasts
finish next to the cellar they are
considered as good as any team in
the league, not excepting Vancou-
yer, and with the same opportuni-
ties would have contended for the
pennant.
Dugdale in Seattle made a most
miserable showing. This may be
attributed to two things. Mishaps
early in the season and dissension
in the ranks later. Terry McKune
the fast shortstop, started in like
a flash when he came out from ST
Paul, but always trouble with his
ankles, these finally gave out on
him. This was a blow from which
the team never recovered. AS
Dugdale would not spend money
to fill short he got along by shift
ing his players. Spokane's history
is written and closed and hardly
worth mentioning now. The at
tendance was the best in the his
tory of baseball here. And the
company broke even on this and
all other seasons.

GOLD SHOWERS ON
PRIZE RING SCRAPS

The fighting game is the most
lucrative vocation in the world.
Joe Cans went to Fl Erie,
stepped into the ring with Frank
Erne, shot out his right, and down
went the lightweight champion.
That one punch netted Cans at
least 100000 worth of engage
ments. e..
Only a few months ago Stanley
Ketchel stepped into a ring in Cali
fornia with Mike Twin" Sullivan.
The latter tented, Ketchel lodged,
shot over his right and down went
Sullivan. ketchel got $4,000 for
that one punch.
A few years ago England sent its
champion, Pedlar Palmer, to Amer
lea to vanquish Terry McGovern.
Terrible Terry" stepped into the
ring, shot out his right, down went
the Englishman and while the ref
cree was counting, Mr.. Cashier
handed Terrys manager something
in the neighborhood of $4,000.
There are many fighters in Amer
lea, some still in the ring and
others retired who have fat and
juicy bank rolls There is Tom
Sharkey, who left a man of war to
enter the ring and accumulated
gold so fast it made him dizzy. and
Tommy Ryan, who gathered in the
shekels for many years, until age
laid him on the shelf with all his
gold around him. 1t is a fallacy
that fighters disSipate their wealth
away. John L. Sullivan did it for
years-and being the best known
fistic artist the world decided
others in kind. George Dixon therw
all his wealth away, and Joe Cans,
recently defeated by Nelson, has
done likewise.
But the great majority of real
champions have slowed themselves
away with enough to live on in
comfort and luxury for all life. jim
Jeffries, the champion of cham
pions, carried his fortune to Los
Angeles, and has been adding to 1t
ever since.
Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Hall
fought for a $4,000 purse at New
Orleans. Bob woa md the man
ager of the club handed him a
check for SAL 900, thousand being
for training expenses. But when
Bob tried to get it cashed it was
turned back. Fitzsimmons didn't
get a cent for that battle and
neither did Hail. The men had
agreed to fight winner take all.
The next biggest purse was the
$4,000 given for the first Cans
Nelson battle at Goldfeld. Nelson
got the biggest end of that, al
though Cans was the champion at
the time and won the battle. That

ter of receipts. The gate was

The fighters, however, have fire.

purse amounted to. The Jeffries-

$36,465. The money was divided

sailor made a terrible row, claiming
he had not only been robbed of the

The Jeffries-Corbett fight in San

sum of $43,638. That was more
than $4,000 to the round. The fight
'only lasted 10 rounds.
