skill and gameness than his admirers
would credit him with having previous
to the fight and the battle was fierce
and exciting one throughout.
In the first four rounds Gardner
punished Whitney severely about the
face and Whitney seemed nervous. His
confidence increased after this round,
however, and he came back in good
style. In the seventh and eighth
rounds, he smothered Gardner with
blows and several times had Jimmy
on the ropes. Gardeners exhibition of
gameness was not of that order that
pleased his admirers, but he came out
of 1t in the ninth and, pulling himself
together, forced the fighting, repeat
eddy landing rights and lefts. and had
Whitney almost out at the gong. The
tenth and eleventh rounds were repeti-
lions of the ninth, with only OCCASION
al spurts by Whitney.
In the twelfth round Whitney bled
profusely from the houth and his eyes
were half closed. He was in such a
condition that 1t seemed inevitable that
the fight would be stopped by the
referee or the police. Whitney's sec
onds threw a towel into the ring in
this round, but the referee did not see
1t and permitted the thirteenth round
to begin. 1t soon became evident that
Whitney was helpless and the fight
was stopped.

NEW YORK, June 26.-Neither Colin

tomorrow in the $4,000 Coney Island
Jockey club stakes at Sheepshead Bay.
Both are seriously amiss.
The sheath of the tendon of one or

an examination that it would be dan

stake tomorrow.
Celt has developed quarter crack III

recent very fast workout in preparation
for the same stake. Celts trouble may
be cured in time, but neither this colt
nor Colin may be seen in a race Tor
long time to come.
Mr.. Keene last night said: II am
very sorry to have to say that both my
colts are under professional treatment
and 1 do not know when they Will APP

ined by DR.. Sheppard and he strongly
advised us not to work him for the
Coney Island stakes Saturday. The
sheath of one of his tendons is fever

mean a breakdown. Celt has a quarter
crack, and of course he Will not De

PACkY AND TRAINER
ARE TOO REALISTIC
Acquire Grouches During Boxing
Stunt and Become Sincerely
Earnest In Their
WalIops

Visitors to the training camp OF
Packy Mcfarland at the South Side
Athletic club yesterday we're enter
pected manner when Packy and his
trainer, Pat Kinealy, began to wallor
each other in dead earnest. 1t was q
slashing bout while 1t lasted, but it did
not last long.
Packy and Pat are chums--that is
they were and probably will be again
and each likes his joke. Packy had a
crouch on when he started the after
noon workout and slammed young An
singer about the ring in a manner that
caused Kinealy to call him for 1t.
Packy invited his manager to put on
the gloves and box with him if he did
not like the way he was boxing with
Anslinger. Both are Irish, and Pat &C
cepted the def.
They started to mauling at once, but
no damage resulted In the first round.
Real business began in the second
round, however, and Packy flew at his
chum as If he intended putting him out.
He is too fast and clever for the big
trainer, and in few seconds had
this was repeated, and just about the
moment when time was UP for the
round Kinealy decided he would not
risk further damage to himself and
Packy by further fighting, and called
1t all off.
There was a goodly sprinkling OF
women in the crowd, several autos
being on the grounds, and they enjoyed
the unusual spectacle to the fullest
extent. The critical men folk also en-
joyed 1t, as 1t is the first time Packy
has opened up in earnest and shown
what he can do in the fighting line,
His workout was impressive, even II II
was out Of the ordinary.
Freddie Welsh did little of anything
yesterday, taking life easy because he
is below weight and has rounded into
perfect condition already. He will
work at full tilt today. however. and
tomorrow he will put on a special pro-
gram, boxing with Howard Baker, Kid
Carsey and one or two of the amateurs
from the Los Angeles Athletic club.
Packy will put on his big show Sun
day afternoon, too. He will work over
q more extended route than at any
previous time since he began training
and in addition to his regular corps OF
boxing partners will take on George
Damron and Sam Coulter of the Los
Angeles Athletic club classes presided
over by Dewitt c. Van Court. Jeffries
will go to the Mcfarland camp Sun
day and referee all outs. 1t is an
nounced once more that there will be
no admission fee charged at the gate
and the general public is invited to the

JEFFRIES CATCHES TWO
BASS WORTH S35 APIECE
Ruins Suit of Clothes and Loses Bait
and Fishing Tackle When He
Falls Out of Boat Into
Lake CaIabasas

Kittenfoot Jeffries went fishing last
week and returned with two bass that
represented a value of $35 each. Ac-
companied by two friends, he went to
Lake Calabasas, where a boat was Sc
cured. His friends got into the boat,
and Jeff clambered into the bow seat:
He was so heavy that the boat grounded
on the bottom, but after a bit Of labor
he pushed it out into the water and
then some good. fun started. The boat
began to sink and, before jeff could
get off the seat he was sitting In two
feet of icy mountain water, with the
boat going down like a shot. His
friends screamed, and jeff jumped into
the lake to prevent sinking the boat
and his friends. jeff swan to shore,
but when he began to figure out. his
loss he ascertained that he had ruined
a s65 suit of clothes, lost fishing pole
that cost SO, bait to the value of 80
was missing and his fishing outnt,
worth $12, was in the lake. Deducting
for depreciation in value of the clothes
and other articles since he bought
them he figured that he was g. net loser
of $40. Then he became angry and
went fishing, sure enough. His labors
were rewarded with two nice bass.
Now he is negotiating for a rubber
union suit for future fishing trips and
will build a barge probably from
which to cast his line.

BY TWO POINTS
WIN THIRD STRAIGHT GAME BY
AID OF LOCALS
Hosp TwlrIs Winning Ball After Third
Inning, but Is Given Ragged
Support All the Way
Around
Beavers 9, Angels 5


Once more the Portland bunch has
crowded the Angels off the top rung
of the pennant ladder and taken pos
session of the post of honor In the
chase for the flag. They have per-
formed this feat by the most terriIlc
batting ever seen on the Chutes oia-
mond and by a corresponding and UNI
explained slump in the batting and
general fielding of the Angels. They
are not playing their game, as the 10
to score Thursday proves and as the
tendency to quit after getting out IN
front surely indicates. They lost the
third straight game to the Beavers
Yesterday. the score being to at
the end of the fourteenth inning.
For a time 1t seemed that the An
gels were going to do one OF their
coming from behind-and-win stunts, as
they tied the score in the seventh In
ming and seemed then to be just get
ting on their batting stride. they
held the Beavers down to tie score
until the first half of the fourteenth
inning, when three hits and as many
costly errors permitted the visitors to
score four runs and take the game.
Hosp did not get In good pitching
form until the fourth inning, and
meantime the Beavers rolled up a 3

the sixth and the Angels tailed a
quartet of runs in the seventh, tieing
the score, the Beavers having made
one tally In this inning. One run was
scored by the visitors In the sixth and
seventh innings on one hit and the
dumb playing of the Angel fielders.
Kinsella steadied down to business
after the seventh had been passed
into history and the Angels never
could score. Hosp also pitched steady
ball, but had no chance to win with
the ragged fielding behind him.
1t Is regrettable that the Angels
should drop from first to second place
on home grounds after beginning a
series with such a commanding lead
as they held. 1t also is discouraging
to note the fact that twice this week
they have piled up six errors. in one
game and that, although they outhit
the Beavers, they more than made
amends to the visitors by fearful eff
forts at playing ball in the field. With
ordinary support Hosp would have
won his game In a walk.
Following Is the official score and

his Is an annual event, the cup
being challenge trophy to be sailed
for each year without the privilege
Of winning 1t permanently, the condi-
tions making 1t a perpetual challenge
event.
Start will be made at 70 o'clock, noon,
and the finish probably will be made
sometimes tomorrow forenoon. 1t is
not expected that Wasp or Venus will
sail in this race and about the only
certainty regarding the starters Is
that Mischief II, Arrow and Minerva
will sail. The Folsom boat has proved
so speedy and such good ocean
going racer that the official handicap
per has handed 1t a good stiff package,
and If she wins the race, under these
conditions, she will surprise even Wal
ter Folsom. He was a bit peeved yes
terday, when he noted the time allow
ances which he must give other boats,
and said he would not have a chance
to win, but Walter will be right there
trying all the way.
The worst feature of the time ham
dicap Is that Minerva, the most dan
gerous rival of Mischief II, is given
| an allowance of 2 hours, minutes and
| 81 seconds, which is equal to about
twenty or twenty-five miles. Folsom
| says he must be at the finish line
when the Minerva is leaving the island
or lose the race. Owing to the Gains
that yachts always encounter when
nearing Catalina, Mischief II is apt to
lose all her advantage at that point,
as the Gains usually hold boats there
long enough for the stragglers to catch
up, making the real contest extend
from that point to the finish line, in
stead of from start to finish.
Glass r boats and the Katrina, in
class @, are eligible to start at the
same time in the race for the Spaulding
cup, which is to be sailed over the
same route and under the same con-
ditions that govern the yachts in the
Montgomery cup race. Katrina will
contest for both cups, being eligible
to both races. Following are the eligi-
BILE boats in the Spaulding cup race,
