finished 10th. The course was from
Brooklyn to Good Ground and back, q
distance Ct 1919 miles. 1t will probably
be a day or two before the winner will
be announced. The feature of yester-
days run was the performance of Will
lam G.. Chadeayne, of Buffalo, n. Y,
who rode from Freeport to Good
Ground, the turning point of the run,
and back, a distance of nearly 100 miles,
with n broken nose, a cut eye and
bruised face. He vas patched IN by
a Freeport physician, and yet he came
home at the starting point. Bushwick
avenue and Stewart street. East New
York, only t~wenty-six minutes behind
the leader.
1t "a not speed, but simply endur-
ance that was the count in the two
days run that was finished yesterday,
and Swenson's performance may not
count in the final result. Summaries:

SAVAGE knocked
OUT IN THIRD BY
SAILOR BURKE

Jim Savage, the Orange scrapper,
was knocked out in tho third round Of
the fight with Sailor Burke last night
at the Navarro a. c., Bath Beach.
Savage put up a good showing for two
rounds, and on n occasion sent the
sailor flying through the ropes, but
Burke landed the telling blow in The
third, and Jim dropped to the canvas
The fight was carried to the dressing
room after the principals had left the
ring. Savage claimed that Burke had
fouled him several times by hitting
him when down. He told the sailor
as much after the fight. and torrid
words resulted in a punching match,
which was stopped only by the inter
ference of the police. Savage wants
another trial against the sailor, be-
lieving that he can beat him despite
his two reverses.

Revolt Against Joining with

American athletes are hardly IN SYM

In order to stand n chance of beating
America England combined the teams

at Buffalo yesterday, though the scrap
went only even innings. The Bisons
failed to get the semblance of a hit,
but won, | to 0, and in a peculiar way.
A double steal was attempted in the
first inning, with Keister on first and
Schirm at third. Catcher Butler shot
the ball down 10 second in time to get
the runner. but Keister bumped into
Holly with such force that the Broncos'
captain was rendered unconscious. As
he sank to the ground, after tagging
Keister, Holly let the ball fail from
his hands. AS a result Umpire Kelly
declared Keister safe at second and
Schirm crossed the plate with the only
run of the game.
The accident recalls the incident at
the Newark grounds little more than a
week ago, when Larry Schaly, the
Toronto captain. collided at the plate
with Catcher Philbin, and both players
were knocked out. The question is:
Must a fielder, though knocked uncon-
scious, hold the ball in order to make
the putout?"
In the cast on the Newark grounds
Catcher Philbin clutched the ball firmly
in his hands after he had been laid low
and the run was not allowed to count.
The Tigers backstop held on to the
ball until Umpire Moran had forced it
out of his hand. Had Umpire Kelly de-
clared Keister out yesterday on the
grounds that Holly had dropped the
ball only after having been rendered
senseless the run would no have been
scored, as two men were out at the
time and the game would have resulted
in a draw.

GRIFF NOW SAID TO
BE AFTER BIRMINGHAM.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. July CLARK
Griffith, formerly manager of the New
York Americans, desires to purchase
the Birmingham franchise. He wired
yesterday afternoon asking for a price.
President Baugh offered the franchise
for 3 $1,000.
1t has been known for some days that
Griffith desired the local franchise, and
the popular opinion is that he will ac-
oept President Baugh's figures. Baugh
states thai the figure is high, but that
the local franchise is easily worth the
amount asked.

Brockett and Carisch, too, have done
little to earn their feed this season, but,
like Miller, they are kept on the pay
roll just the same. Stallings probably
knows his business and has reasons that
outsiders fail to see for keeping these
men. He has had similar propositions
on hand and in all previous cases the
end has justified the means.
There was Billy Milligan, of Buffalo
He was as raw as they come when
Stallings first tool hold of him. For
months the big southpaw did little moro
than warm the bench. But Milligan
steadily developed and in time was
purchased by the New York National
League Club for a snug sum. lie Is

Stallings also carried Pitcher Vowin-
kle a full season without using him. eX-
cept to finish a game that had been lost
after mother twirler had been battcd
out of the box. Did it pay II cling to
this fellow? 1t seems so, for Rip Is now
one Of the best pitchers in the league.
Other managers, too. have profited by
exercising a little patience.
Cleveland fans were disguised this
season at the showing of Pitcher Lieb-
hardt. That player lost something like
nine straight games. but he struck his
stride three weeks ago, and has pitched
winning ball ever since. 1t was this
same pitcner who defeated the leading
st. Louis American League team yes
terday.
Jones Made No Mistake.
Ed Walsh, the famous saliva bal
finger of the Chicago Americans. is
another sample of this class. When
Walsh was a member of the Newark
team he had little more than remarka-
bile speed.
The Chicago Americans purchased the
player, carried him to Mexico for spring
training and held him for a full season
before Manager Jones considered him
ripe enough for use in a championship
game. DID Jones make a mistake IN
holding this player? 1t seems not, fol
Walsh helped the o win the Ameri'
can League pennant in 1906, and 1t was
his remarkable pitching that beat the
Chicago Nationals in the worlds cham
rionship series.
No-hit games do not crop up very
often in a season, and it's pretty tough
luck when you lose your game after
getting away with one of those rare
stunts. That was the fate of Sandy
Bannister. the crack Rochester twirler
