The Cubs do not fear the Giants at ALL but are
bit apprehensive about the Pirates T'bey have
beaten the Giants six out of seven games played
with them far this season. while they have
lost eight out of IA to the worlds champions,
which accounts for their feeling with regard to
the two teams.
Probably the only baseball manager in the
world who is literally blind-not as those who
having eyes see not, but absolutely sightless-
is Bert Taylor, manager of the Jackson Stars Of
Jackson. Mich. This blind manager handles his
team from the bench. His men swear by him
and do better work before his sightless eyes
than when working under the sunervision of a
man who can watch the plays. But Taylor does
watch the plays. He sits on the bench with his
men and knows just what plays made. He
strikes on the batter and never fails to recog-
nize a foul. With almost uncanny intuition he
can tell, possibly from the sound Of the ball
against the bat. the field TO which the ball has
been batted- He argues point with the umpire
just as earnestly as though he had seen the en-
tire play. and his howl of protest against a de-

|ENGLISH FOOTBALL
PLAYERS COMING
Northern Style of Play May Be
Seen In the Exhibition
Games Here

Much has been heard here of the
style Of football known as the north
ern union rules. but it has never been
played, simply because it is always con-
sidered a professional game and is
only played by professionals. 1t is
now almost certain, however, that an
exhibition game will be played here
about September or October by the
greatest eXponents of the game in the
world. The English International
northern union team Is at present tour
ing in Australia and is scheduled to
return to England via San Francisco
as soon as the Australian tour is COM
plsted. Arrangements are now under
way to have this team give an ex-
hibition game during their stay here.
There are over 80 men in this COM
bination. and as there are only 13
players in a team of the northern union
game they are willing to select TWO
teams from their numbers to give the
local followers of Rugby a chance to
compare the two games.

that the colored fighter Topped as
per arrangement to make the moving
pictures pleasing to the audience. 1t
mattered little so far as Johnson was
concerned whether he won in round
or in 90, for he probably could have
slowed the middle weight champion
away at any time he wished. as he
outcIassed Ketch from every angle. The
boys who are supposed TO know have
long before this voted the fight a
pleasing performance and that there
was a mutual understanding between
all concerned. Little's recent state

RANK EXHIBITION
The Kaufman fight was a rank exhi-
bitlon from the spectators standpoint
and the only good point about 1t was
that the colored fighter was merciful
to his opponent and saved him as much
as possible. Nobody accused Johnson
