McAuliffe Thinks Old and New Cham
pion Would Draw.

New York. July 14.-Jack McAuliffe
yesterday remarked:
well, I see that the title has
changed hands again. This fellow
Nelson, you know. is only the fourth
lightweight champion since retired
unbeaten. Yoa Know, r won my title
BY Default IN 1885, Jack Dempsey
was lightweight champion up to that
time, but grew out of his class and left
it open to Young Mitchell of Frisco
and myself. Billy Madden, my man.
ager, challenged Mitchell, but he
wouldn't fight. and / grabbed the title.
I'defended it for twelve years and won
four championship belts.
'When L met old Jimmy Carroll in
Frisco, ten years ago felt that was
all in and came here to retire in favor
Of kid Lavinge, one of the best
ever saw. Frank Erne beat Lavinge
then and after that Cans won from
Erne. .--.---.
"This boy Nelson, by winning from
Cans, is now the king lightweight of
the land. L may go, on the stage with
Nelson when he comes east. That

EASY PICKING FOR ST. LOUIS.
The American League Team Expected
to Keep at Top of Heap.

st. Louis, July 14.-Everything
looks favorable for the st. Louis club
to return to the Western end of the
circuit in first place with a fair lead
over the second place team, whichever
one, 1t happens to be. There is hardly
a chance that the Browns can be pull
ed from the top of the heap with the
soft schedule they have on tap for the
remainder of the eastern trip.
The Browns wound up their hardest
games of the eastern invasion when
they left Philadelphia. Saturday the
Missourians started a string of eight
games that should be easy picking and
keep them in the lead. New York,
Washington and Boston are the clubs
the Browns have to deal with before
starting back home. Two of these
clubs, New York and Washington, are
at the tailend of the standing.

BROWNS GREAT WORK.
Pitcher of Chicago Cubs Is Setting a
Fast Pace for Other Twirlers.

Chicago. July 14.-Few changes
have taken place in the pitching di-
vision during the. last few weeks in
the National league. Brown and Reul-
bach of the Chicago Cubs and
Mathewson of the New York Giants
are still showing the form they dis
played in the early part of the season
and are having a hard fight for final
position. Brown is leading the group
by good margin.
Brown is not a strike out pitcher,
as he has famed only 31s men per
contest. Five times he has banked
the opposition. The onlv other man in
the National to do that is Mathewson
of New York.

in fourteen innings and then Tom
Hughes finished the game. Saturday
the Chicagos took a trip to Philadel-
phia and ran up against the Friday
proposition, but this time the Sox won
out in the sixteenth inning, Walsh
pitching the entire game.
This is certainly a record for one
team for a long time, and one that
will stand for a few weeks at least.
Two games of sixteen innings each on
successive days, one being tie.

White Stockings have finally been
able to get a decision on game, but
they broke all records for the season,

FOR THE GOOD ROADS FUND.
Looks as Though $4,000 Would BE
Realized From Ohio Auto License.

Columbus, o., July 14.-Secretary
of State Thompson has announced
that during the first month of the op-
Grafton of the State automobile law
there were $3.50 automobile licenses
issued, and the total receipts for that
time were $25, $50.
1t is estimated that there are about
$4,000 auto vehicles In the state. and
all of these, whether they have paid
annual licenses under the ordinance Of
the year or not, will have to be Ii
censed by January 1, 1909.
So that it looks as though well up
toward $4,000 net receipts would be
turned into the good roads fund.

Ketchell is headed for top place

Montana man said last night he

Gift Pitcher Making Good.

Indianapolis. July 14.-Next to
"Rube" Marquard, Pitcher Louis Dur
ham of the Indianapolis team is now
the most talked. of pitcher in the A. A.
Only twice have the Indians lost when
he has been on the mound. He cost
the club nothing in the way of pur-
chase money, as he had previously
been Internationally released by the
Louisville club and was a free agent.
His most noteworthy feat was his
double header victory over the Brew
ers at Milwaukee, but the stunt that
afforded him the most satisfaction was
the shutting out of Louisville at WASH
ington park, 2 to O. He has won seven

that If Taft is elected the spirit of the
departed Roosevelt will be found crouch
