FLOWERS MAY KEEP
MATSON OUT OF RACE.

NEW YORK, Sept 2S.-Joe Matson.
the automobile driver, who hopes to
pilot a car in the Vanderbilt cup race
on Saturday, is under the care of ply
scians as result of an accident which
occurred while he was out for a prac-
tise spin over the cup race course yes
terday. Matson's goggles had become
covered with steam and he had slowed
down slightly to replace them with a
clean pair, when young girl, standing
by the roadside tossed to the driver d
small bouquet of wild flowers She in
tended that the flowers should land in
his car, but poor aim sent the bouquet
straight into Matsons face. the stems
going into his eyes and binding him
temporarily.
Matson's big car gave lurch to the
side of the road and might have been
wrecked but for the drivers quick re-
covery of himself Stunned and in an
agony of pain from the singing blow
he turned off his power and put on the
quick-stop brake, bringing his machine
to halt at the foot of big tree.

BALDWIN BREAKS
HIS HAND IN BOUT
WITH BAT HURLEY

BOSTON, Sept. 2S.-Though the bout
between Matty Baldwin, of Charles
town, and Battling Hurley, of Passaic,
n. j., at the Armory A. A, was called
draw at the end of the twelve rounds,
the greater part of the fans figured
that Baldwin was entitled to the deci-
sion. Matty gave one of the most re
markable exhibitions ever seen in the
ring in this section. All through the
battle he could use only his right hand,
as he injured his left hand in train
ing. In the second round he took a
chance and used it, and the result was
that he broke three small bones in it
which made it useless to him either
to hit with or TO block with. During
the bout Baldwin kept sending his
right repeatedly to Hurleys eye, jaw
and body, and by some good footwork
and blocking with the right he avoided
considerable punishment

in the meeting Sunday, as he feels his
defeat of last Sunday keenly. Never

out to regain his lost laurels. Clarke,
budding over with joy of his victory,
