dropped into center field from Bush's

Jim Mcclure, boss Nap, spent most
OF his time in the ninth inning run

third base getting new men into the
lineup. He muffed one when he yank'
ed Perring in favor OF Stovall. for
Perring had been hitting the ball hard
and the bases were clogged. Stovall
popped weakly TO Bush.
Jim Delehanty did not participate
because of bad leg. Stovall was out
for the same reason, while Birming-
ham was injured slightly after the
game started.
But, the most notable feature was
the fact that Willett has returned. He
gave hit in the first. one In the third.
one in the fifth. one In the seventh
and three In the ninth. And. above
all, he walked only two men. Depend

A few seconds after the battle,
Richard declared that Jeff was out
when he was knocked down the second
time and that Johnson was given the
decision on a fair knockout. Later in
the evening he stated that he had
awarded the battle to Johnson be-
cause Jeff's seconds had attempted 10

was in progress.

PROMOTERS MAKE MUCH.
Richard and Gleason viii Clean UP
$4,000 on Bio Fight.

RENO, July 6.-Tex Richard last
night gave out an official statement
of receipts and attendance at the fight.
II shows the total gate receipts to-
tailed s270,775. Those who paid admis-
sion numbered 1850.
In addition TO these who paid to see
the fight, Richard says there were 100
complimentary tickets given TO the
press and others. He estimated the
number who slipped in at various
places around the arena, breaking
holes in the boarding, or climbing TO
the rim of the structure at 1900. All
told the attendance Is given as 1920.
There we're sold 1888 seats at $50,
$50 at $40. 634 at $50; 1906 at $25,
1857 at $40, 1,706 at SIS, and 1850
at $40.
The purse, with the bonuses given
the two fighters amounted to 1921 900.
and Richard figured that his expert
ence at San Francisco cost him about
100000 Thus he and his partner Glea-
son will have a profit of about $780,
