MLANO-FRAYNE,
ATTELL- COvE BOUTS
On Card in San Francisco TOa
night-Dick and Monte
FavOrites.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2O.-The
sports will wend their way to the Coli
scum tonight to see two twenty-round
contests, or, rather, the articles pro-
vide for bouts of that length. In one
contest Johnny Frayne and Dick Hy-
lane will be the opponents, and a VIC
tory will mean a great deal, inasmuch
as it will bring the fighter securing it a
step nearer to the championship bout
with Bat Nelson. Hyland is the favor
lite at odds of 10 to 8.
As lightweights go, Frayne and Hy-
land may be considered in the front
rank. Frayne's prestige was greatly
increased by his recent defeat of Young
Corbett, while Hyland added consider
ably to his reputation by the trouncing
he administered to Leach Cross, New
York's pet lightweight.
Monte Attell and Perch Cove are also
to meet tonight. Cove, who comes out
of the North, say he has waited five
years for his heritage as bantam cham
pion. So far, Percy's brave tai hasn't
demoralized the betting market. Attell
is a 2 to l favorite.

Negotiations have been completed by
the Lancaster Tri-State club for the
sale of First Baseman Jack Deal and
Second Baseman Fitzpatrick to the To-
ronto Eastern League club.
Jack Dunn, of Baltimore, has ex-
pressed a desire for the services OF
Charley Smith, of Washington. This
may block the deal to sell Smith to
Minneapolis.
After leading during the early part of
the game, the Buffalo club weakened
and lost its fifth straight game of the
week to the Rochester club.
Jersey City kept up its winning
streak yesterday at the expense of the
Providence club. The Shelters wal
loped the Grays by the close score of
1 to O.
Ford, of Jersey City, and LATTE, of
Providence, engaged in a pitchers bat
tie yesterday at Jersey City, in which
the former came out on top. Ford was
hit safely four times, while LATTE was
found for three safe drives. The
Skeeter struck out nine men and gave
but one base on balls. Laftte struck
out nine and also issued one free ticket.
Weldon Henley, the elongated pitcher
of the Rochester crew, made three hits
out of four times up yesterday.
The Toronto team came to life yes
terday and defeated the Montreal Roy
ais by a score of II to 4. 1t made the
third victory for the Leafs from Dr..
Casey's outfit this season.
It was Manager Smiths error that
enabled Rochester to beat the Herd
yesterday by a 8 to 3 score. 1t is not
often that the Ia of the Herd

still has the Indian sign" on the ORR

the third bag yesterday and took care
of everything that came his way.
Walter Blair, the Tiger catcher, made
his first error since being in the East
ern League yesterday by uncorking a
wild throw to Mueller in the first in
ming, which allowed the Orioles to score
two runs.
That two-base Cleanup" drive of
Sharpe's in the fifth inning was a
corker. Had 1t taken another bound
when it struck out in right centre field
it would have landed in the bleachers.
It took an hour and ten minutes to-
play three innings and a half yester-
day on the local grounds. A little fas-
ter playing would be appreciated by

The Boston Red Sox after winning
eleven straight games dropped a
double-header to the Yankees yester-
day afternoon at New York.
Shafer, the substitute infielder of the
New York Giants, plays baseball for
glory and not for gold. Shafer owns
two automobiles, and it might be added,
is immensely popular with his team
mates. He would be more popular if
he owned three autos.
Phlladelphians are supporting Eddie
Collins as a speed rival to Tyrus. Cobb,
of the Detroit Tigers. They claim the
youngster is every bit as fast and a
good deal "foxier.'
Charlie O'Leary, of the Detroit Ii
gers, is deeply cast down since the de-
parture of his side kick, Schaefer, and
it is likely the Chicago boy will be
traded by the Tigers.
Since Tim Hurst has been fired from
the American League, we wonder if
Pat Powers will give him a job?
There is a report going the rounds
that Fielder Jones will buy a part in
terest in the st. Louis Browns next

1t is a peculiar fact that there never
has been a season when Hal Chase

very much in the game for P%ittsburg

four times up, including a triple and a
double. He stole a base, accepted
everything that came his way in the
field and figured in a lightning double
play.
