The Twining and Ninth teams will be
seen on three occasions this coming week.
while Wallach will appear but once.
Undaunted by series of defeats at the
beginning of the season, Manager Kraft
of the Manhattan club has worked with
great persistency with his team from the
Rhode Island Church and to-day his
efforts are rewarded by having brought
the youngsters of the league from the
cellar to fifth place. The team is consid-
erably strengthened by the acquisition
of LaMat, Sissler and Chapman. and Is
making trouble for the leading teams.
Puntney. for Manhattan, made a SEN
sational one-hand catch of Elders fly
Tuesday and doubled Seaton at second.
Mosburg is still ripping off bingles with
comparative ease He landed three safe
ties Tuesday.
Landvoigt of Advent is the leading base
stealer In the league Fleet of foot, he
has little trouble making the circuit when
once on first. Thursday he pilfered third
from the pitcher to the catcher. the latter
being unable to head him off.
Hope Falconer, now manager Of Gurley
has taken up box duties. Here's hopes.
Hope.
Mcmahon pitched well for Ninth
Wednesday. punching eight. but the err
rors behind him accounted for his de-
feat
Greene did not perform slab work for
Twining against Advent Thursday, as
stated in the press. Powell pitched the
entire game and worked splendidly, but
the errors behind him were costly.
Seitz. Advent's southpaw, has now
pitched and won three games No team
has made more than three hits off this
phenom. He had the leaders at his
mercy Thursday and eight men famed
the air.
Howard. playing third for Twining.
makes some very sensational pick-ups,
but his throwing to first is not quite up
to standard However. he is improving
daily.
Sissler. Haislip and Galleher of Man
haitian made a lightning double play Fri
day against Wallach
Haislip of Manhattan is keeping up his
batting eye. Two hits, double and a
triple. was his record for Friday.
Lynch, Wallachs shortstop. evidently
tries to cover too much territory. His err
rors of Friday were costly.
The attendance at McDevitts field has
greatly increased of late, and since the
Columbia Leagues vacation of the
grounds at 1st and w streets the fans
from that section are vending their way
to the hill top Fully 600 people wit
and Advent.
Joe Handiboe is handling the indicator
in great style and his decisions have
never been criticised

Marines Lead Again.
Before a large crowd the Marines de-
feated st. Joseph's yesterday In the Mar
quette League in a one-sided affair by II
to s. and again took the lead.
The winners took commanding lead
in the early part of the game and in
creased it nearly every inning Wooden
started in to twirl for st. Joseph's. but
was batted out Of the box in the second
inning. Hessler received him in the third
round and he was also batted hard. nine
bingles being made of of his delivery in
four innings. which with several costly
miscues Melted the Soldiers seven runs.
To stem the tide Hessler was taken out
and "Dollie' Gray sent in. He succeeded
in holding the opposition to four safe
ones the remainder of the contest. Ritter
on the mound for the Marines. while not
pitching excellent ball. held st. Joseph's
to eight hits. Meagher was easily the
star of the game. Besides playing
great game at second base for his team
he also aided materially in the run get
ting. In six trips to the plate he con-
nected with the sphere for four safeties.

Moran Eager to Meet Attell.

NEW YORK, August 1.-Owen Moran.
eager for his coming battle with Abe
Atten for the featherweight championship
of the world. is now on his way to Cali
fornia. Even If we Britishers did lose a
lot of Olympic records" said he. that
doesn't prove that we are not going to
have the featherweight championship"
Moran is as sure Of beating Attell this
time as he Is of fighting. You can't con-
vince him that Attell has anything he
hasn't. He believes that he won the last
contest Of twenty-five rounds. which Jim
Jeffries called a draw, and he thinks that
jeff refused to give any other decision be-
cause he might have hurt his own popu-
larity.

JEFFRIES TO RETIRE.
Other Good Arbitrator Will Quit
the Roped Arena.

NEW YORK. August with such good
referees as Jim Jeffries. Jack Welsh.
Eddie Graney, Phil Wand and Eddie Smith
out of the game. the indications are that
there will be many an argument raised by
the fighters over the referee question
when they are signed up to fight at the
dieffrent clubs in California. Jeffries
says that after he referees the Atteli-
Moran battle on Labor day afternoon he
will never again oficiate in any fight. no
matter what inducements are offered to
him. Billy Roche. who has refereed many
a fight out there. will most likely be Sc
lected to judge two-thirds of the battles.

opinion that st. Joseph's would give the
Soldiers hard tussle, but when the game
ended with the score 10 to in their
favor the northeastern rooters' en-
thusiasm knew no bounds. To Dutch
Hessler goes much OF the credit for his
teams victory In four times to the
