mond Colts yesterday by capturing the
second game OF the series here. Re-
velle started out strong and held the
Tigers at his mercy. but weakened in
the seventh inning and three runs
came across These proved more than
enough to win the game.
Pritchard was In excellent form
and held the visitors to five scattered
hits. Their only tally came in the
fourth inning and was not earned.
Both clubs played well in the field
the Champs making no errors and
Richmond making only one, when
Messitt threw the ball away in an
attempt to catch a runner at second,
and Spratt scored the first run for
the locals.
Baker was retired from the game
in the fifth inning, when Spratts line
drive hit him in the head and rem
dered him unconscious.
Morrissey was put in at second
base and Shaw covered shortstop for
the remainder OF the game.
Revelle held the Champs as usual
In all except the seventh inning, and
they surprised themselves by bunch
ing hits on him and winning out. He
is generally conceded every game in
which he works here, but the Tigers
have been getting on to his curves OF
late. The score:

GIVING CHALLENGE
Suggestion That He May Ask for
Another Meeting With Jack
Johnson.

NEW YORK, July 27.---That strong
pressure ia being brought to bear to
have James ]. Jefrries challenge Jack
Johnson again Ia admitted by both
Sam Berger and Jack Gleason, CO.
partner OF Tex Richard in promot-
Ing the Reno fight, both of whom are
In New York.
Neither Berger nor Gleason will adj
nit that Jeffries is preparing to re-
enter the ring, but their conversation
indicated that they think the boiler
maker will soon be back in the roped
arena.
Gleason intimated his belief that
Jeffries was .doped' before the Reno
fight.
IF jeff had been the JEFF at Reno
as at Rowarden there would have
been a different ending at Reno" he
said. am inclined to think his
mental collapse had something to do
with his poor showing, but. hints of
other things have reached our ears,
and In time there may be startling
disclosures. 1t Is not SO much that
we want to find a man that can beat
Johnson, but to show the public that
he can regain his old-time form"
