PIRATES AND
GIANTS BEGIN
HARD SERIES
Struggle for Top of National
League Begins at the Polo
Grounds Today.

The Giants and Pirates will be at the
Polo grounds this afternoon by the
tim these lines are in type. The game
will be worth going miles to see, and,
as the Giants need every game to get
to the top of the standing, the struggle
will no doubt be witnessed by thou
sands.
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
owners of the iGants look for one of
those old-fashioned crowds on the New
York grounds. The two teams expect
an old-fashioned struggle.
Every game is needed by the Giants
as they are now % points behind the
plugging Pirates. The upset of the
Smoketown wonders by Brooklyn yes
terday helped the Giants along.
The series may be the turning point
in h National League race and will
be beyond a doubt the hardest fought
of the season.
Wiltse, Mathewson, Crandall and
Jake Weimer will probably be the
pitchers selected to do the pitching.
Joe McGinnity may also be called upon
in an emergency.
Mike Donlin and Hans Wagner will
no doubt vie with each other in individ-
ual popularity. OF course Artie Dew
lin will have his army of admirers as
Artie Is going some just at present.

GLIDDEN TOUR WINDS UP
IN BATTLE FOR POINTS

Studebaker Company, took three min
utes as the time occupied in removing
the chains, but he was not supposed to
notify the driver unless asked, and this
the latter failed to do. Mr.. Mcguire
consequently checked in three minutes
ahead of time, two of which are al
one point, and the Pierce team one
third of a point.
Inasmuch as Andy Auble had already
declared his intention of withdrawing,
this left the Peerless Red, White and
Blue team the winner by the techni-
cality. 1t is realized that this Is a
reliability contest for the cars, and not
a mathematical calculation, and the
Pierce cars are in AS splendid condi-
ton after this !, 700-mile journey as at
the start, and the glory of the victory
is theirs. Chairman Hover, however,
has had to hedge on his rulings to such
an extent, trying to blame an observer
who was acting exactly according to
his instructions, and the Peerless peo-
pie took the stand that If the written
and stated regulations were subject to
change withou redress they would not
compete further, though their cars are
in perfect condition.
The formal action was started when
Mr.. Burman entered a protest against
the committees ruling, but it was not
allowed, and the contestants and others
interested were refused information as
to the committees ideas in full upon
the matter, and why Chairman Hover
always insists on secret meetings.
The five roadsters, two Pierce cars,
two Stoddard-D Dayton, and the Premier,
which are tied for the Hover trophy,
will start tomorrow morning on a run
to Buffalo and from there over the
course until there is a winner.
Forbes S. Dey announced that the
Pierce cars would make the first days
run-off to Syracuse tomorrow at the
appointed time, and that having there
by won the trophy, would return it to
its doner, Charles J. Glidden.
For two years the Glidden trophy
has been in the possession of the Buff
falo club, and there it will still remain,
to be contested for next year, If the
management is such as to inspire the
confidence of the automobile builders.

Californian's Long Absence from

O'Keefe, and the latter had the better
OF their contest at the Broadway Ath-
letic Club.
The men put up a rafting contest,
and the crowd was many times brought
to their feet by the clever work of
both lads. The contest was one of the
best that has been witnessed at the
club this season., and both boxers had
to extend themselves to the limit in
every round.
In the first round O'Keefe carried the
fighting to Baker and had the better
Of the exchanges. Harry did much bet
ter in the second round and by his
speed had an even break at the end
of the round But he did not keep up
his good work, and O'Keefe rushed
matters In the third and fourth rounds
Baker took a big brace in the fifth and
he had all the best Of what was done in
that period of three minutes. O'Keefe
made n great rally in the sixth and he
landed a number of blows In spite Of
Bakers efforts to get there first.

MORE FIGHT PLANS.
Cans and Nelson May Meet
Again in Frisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, July :. The collapse
of the Gans-Nelson $40, 900 fight at Ely,
Nevada, has set San Francisco promoters
working for this battle that means big
money. A return match between the Dane
and the negro would draw better than any
other combination, and Promoter Coffroth
is busy trying to close a deal for a forty
ive-round contest on Admission Day, Sep
TENDER 8. AS soon as Willis Britt reaches
here tomorrow negotiations will begin.
Britt, who Is Nelson's new manager, will
favor a large purse. He also is strong
for a return fight with Cans, az he belieyes
this involves less risk for Nelson. Britt
says fatty he regards Cans as all in, and
9 return fight with Nelson as a walk-over
for the Dane.
Selig has gone to Lake County to see
whether Cans has improved through rest
and mountain air. He will return tomor-
row, and by Saturday the match ought
to be made. Packey Mcfarland Is ont
of the running because he signed up wsh
Brock, and Freddie Welsh doesn't look
good TO Cans.

GLIDDEN TOUR ENDS
IN BATTLE FOR
FAVORABLE POINTS.
Chairman Hover Decides
Against Protest of Pierce
Teams Score.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, July
ci.-Three big six-cylinder Pierce Great
Arrow touring cars, forming a team
from the Automobile Club of Buffalo,
are the winners for the third success
i've time of the Glidden trophy, but the
touring board has become SO involved
in a tremendous fight hat the death
knell of the Glidden tour as a contest
has been sounded, n already plans
for a great manufacturers contest are
under consideration. All this has been
caused by the rulings of the chair
man of the touring board, Frank Z.
Hover, of Buffalo.
For six hours yesterday a warfare
was waged between the Peerless,
Haynes, Oldsmobile and other inter-
ests and the chairman over a penalty
of o%ne-third of a point placed upon
the Pierce team, a conflict which did
not involve the Pierce cars and their
drivers nor detract from the glory OF
their success. but which has reflected
SO upon the management of the con-
test that e. H. Parkhurst and Charles
H. Burman, of the Peerless Company;
Frank H. Mutt, of the Haynes Com
pany, and Andrew Auble, representing
the Oldsmobile Company. decided to
withdraw their respective clean-score
cars and to retire from a contest in
which a ruling might be made on one
day and disregarded the next. The
whole point involved is important or
u~nimportant according to the view
point, and it doe not involve the re-
liability of the nine cars which were
tied for the trophy, the five tied for the
Hover trophy, or the fourteen others
with perfect scores.
Yesterday morning the Pierce car of ]
W. NJ 'guire, which he IS driving, was
stopped to take off the tire chains and
the motor left running. According ia
rules, which Mr.. Hover has tried hard
to enforce, the time while working on
tires must be taken and added to the
schedule to give the final checking time.
The observer, c. F. Kreiger, of the
