Nelson talked freely on the matter and
blamed Billy for net coming back in

Flynn was his equal at least at his own
type of milling.
''Papke rushed in as If he was going

got was a shower Of blows in return
that were every bit as hard as those he
was landing himself, He was a trifie
faster In this round, so Flynn got

AS Planned.

MILWAUKEE,, July 19.-There. was
no boxing bout between James J. JEFF
fries and Sam Berger at the baseball
park Saturday, as a part Of the City
League gala day Of baseball and pugi-
istiC display. Jefries umpired a

surrounded by houses on every side.
The mayor said that he had given
frequent permits for such exhibitions
in local theaters, but that a bah park
was a different place, especially as the
men would appear in ring costume, a
possible violation Of the State anti
prize light law.
Under the circumstances the former
champion cOntented himself with do
ing some punchingbag stunts in
gymnasium clothing and with boxing
with an imaginary opponent. while
Berger's only appearance was when
in street clothes ne made the an
nounc oment Of the calling off Of the

Tom Hughes, Charley Smith, Jim Dele
hanty, and Carlisle was about the
wisest move he has made this season.
His greatest fault has been in playing
men who. were not in condition The
effect has been 10 weaken the team in
the field and on the bases, and also &c
delay greatly the recovery of his injured
athletes. Browne, LeliveIt Delehanty,
Gray and Smith are all somewhat out
of gear, and IL would have been best TO
have allowed them complete rest. even
II amateurs had to be taken on TO fin
their places. Delehanty's charley horse
has been bOthering him a long time, and
nothing but complete rest could have
done him any good. II is almost certain
that George Browne was put back in
the game before he had recovered from
the sudden tanning he experienced in
Philadelphia. and Lelivelt is described
as hobbling around on one leg.

By THOMAS S. RICE.

You mustn't blame a manager for his
teams losingf when that team makes
only three hits and a variety of bad er-
rors. Wherefore, don't harpOon Can
tillon because Chicago beat Washington
in their second game of the present ser
les out there by 3 to o. He made a
wise selection in Walter Johnson, who
pitched great BAN, and he could not
foresee that Lelivelt and Johnson would
make disastrous miscU -. On the other
hand, It is not fair to pan Lelivelt for
misjudging a pop fly in gale OF wind,
or johnson for a bad shot to third when
the nimble Speed Kelley was not spTy
enough TO cover the bag. Throw that
game out Of your reckoning. Every
body more or less at fault, especially
the twelve athletes who faced Frank
Smith and accomplished nothing what
ever worth mentioning. That, We may
mention. is what Smith gets wages for
in these hard times.
