BEATS
JEANETTE IN A
SIX ROUND BOUT
Tommy Murphy Is Tipped by
Old Sport to Beat Leach
Cross.
BY OLD SPORT.

Sam Langford, who wants to wear
the heavyweight crown in the pugi-
listic kingdom, defeated Joe Jeanette
last night in a ~six-round affair before
the National A. c. of New York. But,
if the wiseacres of things pertaining to
fisticuffs be right IN their deductions,
Sammy, old boy, had better get on the
treadmill of science and brush up a
little. He also needs a couple of good
wallops stored away In his fighting
cabinet before he takes on the winner
Of the Ketchell-Papke tea party. While
he had jeanette on Queer avenue sew
eral times. he didn't seem able to finish
him. Maybe, like the jockey who knows
what his. nag can do and feels conf
lent of getting under the wire without
using whip or spur, Langford fought
under a pull.
Be hat as it may. it was Langford's
place to put the q~uietus on his trouble
some colored brother. jeanette has
fought him off his feet before, and IL
Langford could do 1t he should nave
given him the knockout last night.
Instead of that jeanette, in the third
session, peppered the would-be cham
pion and had him on the ropes. Not
a very good omen for a champion to
ind himself under by any a
But on points Charley White said
Langford won. This puts jeanette out
of the running as far as getting a fght
with any of the top-notchers in the
white class.
Tommy Murphy and Leach Cross
meet his evening at the National A. C.,
up in Ulmer Park. I will bet a taffy
stick against a large red herring that

If they get home in the "wee sma

will be resurrected.
This fight will be a hummer. 1t
ought to be- Murphy is a fighter, and
a. wise young-old owl at the game
Cross is the brand-new kid in the game
as far as this bout is concerned. He Is
a. shifty lad, but lacks the crownpiece
of Harlem Tommy.
Like all fighters, these lad are chew

It's Different Now.
Newarkers are just as willing, l
mean the baseball people, to praise as
they are to condemn. The Tigers start
ed in after a weeding-out process, and
before long there wasn't asteam in this
whole league but what held the Tigers
in great respect. They do 1t TO-DAY,
and will continue to do it while a live
is ct the helm. 1t is alto
gether different now. Did you see Bud
Sharpe making for his d~ressing-room
last Sunday, and the fans trying to get
him on their shoulder, because Buds
rap won the game from the Torontos?
That was pleasing to the brainy cap
tain. and to the club owners who en-
ploy him. and it is the right kind of a
spirit.
what Scandal Mongers Do.
And speaking of this Bud Sharpe,
here is n funny one: / was riding in a
Broad street car the other evening and
found myself sitting in the same seat
with q certain official of one of our
courts. Baseball was the topic OF dis
cussion. "Say," said this gentleman,
SIS it true that Bud Sharpe likes his
booze?" / looked to see If my friend
was joking, but he wasn't. | asked him
why he spoke that way. Well, a friend
or an acquaintance a told him so.
Right there and then I branded that
ACQUAINTANCE as an unmitigated liar.
/ told this court official that of all men
on the baseball diamond, there were
none who led q more temperate life
tran the Newark captain, and the Of
fetal thanked me for the information.
] only relate this to show how evil
minded. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES dogs

If I hadn't met this gentleman he
would have gone along under the i'm
preston given him by this destroyer
Of character, and. perhaps when Cap
tain Sharpe made an error, 1t would
be laid UP against him.
Nearing the Pcnnant.
The team is certainly playing PEN
nant-w winning ball. Yesterday they
drew nearer the top, and don't be sur
prised If you wake up some morning,
and find the Tigers in second place, rap
ping on the first place door for quick
admission. You can see this by a little
figuring. Providence has played Ill
games, we have played 121. Providence
The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1908-09-02

has won 20, and We have won 60 games.
Providence lost 40, and the Tigers so.
In the games to be played Providence
has more pitfalls before them than the
Tigers.
Everybody Happy.
Newark has still a chance for high
honors, so what's the matter. Bill, let
everybody be happy. Let every New
ark fan who can attend the rest of
the games to be played here. Your
presence and your cheering will help
the lads to clinch second place If not
break their way into the position occu-
pied by the luckiest of all Eastern
League teams, the Orioles.

BY EDWARD P. DUFFY.

A press dispatch from the West states
that John Miller, the Kearny boy, has
been drafted from McKeesport by the
Cleveland Americans. This is the boy
that Larry Sutton picked up from the
local lots the early part of this season,
taking him to Easton, where he burned
up the Atlantic League with his ire
mendous hitting and fielding.
That Dots has something in the base
ball line is evident from the fact that
the Blues caught up this boy. He has
been hitting like a house afire for Nc
K%eesport, making home runs and three
sackers with regularity. His being
caught up by the Cleveland club is a
nice piece of work by that organization.
John was taken from Easton by Barney
Dreyfuss, of the Pirates. He was quiet
ly sent to McKeesport with the under
standing hat as soon as he had devel-
oped sufficiently for the big show that
he was to be redrafted by Barney. A
Cleveland scout got next to Miller's
work and on the sly sent a draft notice
to the manager Of the McKeesport club
and captured a local boy who is des-
tined, from his present showing. to high
Ihonors in the league. The moral of this
tale is that there are other men of the
same calibre in these lots who can be
sent along to good salaries If they take
the chance John Miller did.
Bloomfield and Watsessing buried the
Ratchet, handle and all, for they will
resume the interrupted series Saturday
in Bloomfield.
Manager Flammer, of the Washing
tons, wants to see Bausewein and Dur

Cohen, of the Bloomfields, is a mighty
nice ball player. but he has n bad
fault. He tries tosbunt he ball too
quickly when called upon for the sacri-
flee stunt. He jumps at the ball with his
stick and loses many a chance to get
away with a good play.
