QUILL HAS BETTER OF 1T.
But Referee Gave Him only Draw
With Jimmie Gardner, Champion.

BOSTON, Mass. June 9.-Tommy
Quill, of Brockton, today joins Jimmy
Gardner, Harry Lewis and Mike
(Twin) Sullivan as a claimant fo-
welterweight championship honors
Quill showed his class here last night
when he trimmed Jimmy Gardner in
twelve furious rounds.
Quill got only draw from the ref
cree, but that wasn't his fault He
earned a win. In only one round. tho
firth, did Gardner have a lead and this
by reason OF his two knockdowns or
Quill. In the first round honors were
about even. but the remaining ten
rounds were Quilts beyond question.
Some of those round leads were only
slight. but Quill scored them by better
all-around work.
In the final round Quill went after
his man like a tiger and drove him
around the ring Gardner backed away
and was looking for an opening bu.
Quill had his hands high and prevented
any wallops to the face. Near the end
of the round Gardner was wobbly and
the bell was the best thing he heard
all last night.

American League Teams
All Past fife Quarter 'heu|

With the game played In New

the American league may cor
rectly be said to have passed the
first quarter OF their annual
race for the pennant. The New

achieve that distinction. though
Washington Is but barely inside

The Champion Tigers who

the exception OF few moments

ninety points. have played "a

BURNS THREATENS

California Southpaw in Row With
Club Secretary Over a Board Bill
and Negotiates With Outlaws.

Manager Sullivan is likely to lose one

Burns threatens 10 jump the Sox

and put up at the Dewey, a residence
hotel where Bill used to live when a
Senator and where half dozen OF his
former team mates reside during the
ball season.
That probably would have been all
right, but when the rest OF the Sox a.
rived Sunday night Burns declined 10
join them. but remained at the hotel
of his choice. AS ball clubs do net
permit their hired men to select their
boarding houses while on the road,
but contract with certain hotels TO pro-
vide for all their men. not part OF
them. with bed and board during their
stay in each city, Burns ran foul OF
all precedent. and when asked by
Manager Sullivan II he was not going
10 move over TO the Sox hotel he was
informed that the club would not pay
his keep at the Dewey but would do
so at the Arlington. Whereupon Burns
allowed the club would pay his bill

his own expense.
