Club, of London, on September u
next. Babe Greenbaum, who has just
returned from England with Willie
Beecher, made the match with Referee
Bettinson, of the great London club.
The men will weigh in at 120 pounds at
2 o'clock the day of the fight. Kline
will get a purse of So, 500 for his end.
This should be a great fight, but Kline
ought to peat Stanley.
Moe Smith, Kline's manager, besides
agreeing to this match. has other plans
in mind for Patsy. He is now in COM
munication with a Memphis club as to
having Patsy meet Joe Mandot there
in the near future. From there, if the
match be made. Kline will go to New
Orleans, where he will meet the win
ner of the Joe Coster-F frankie Conley
bout, to be held in the Louisiana city
this week. Smith will try to get in
another bout while en- route, making
the trip an eight-week affair from
about the first of July. Smith expects
to arrive back here in about time to
start for England. These bouts should
start Kline on his road to fame. He
should beat every man he is likely to
meet.

Joe McGinnity is surely a great
pitcher, but hat is as far as o can
go. As a anage he's not In the same
class as he is as a twirler. Before the
season started we said he a a second
division club. The team proved that,
and Joe got q few new players and
they won a few days. Now the Tigers
are next to last in the race, having
won four of the last thirteen games.
When McGinnity gets to taking his
regular turn-and% irregular, too, saving
games that are slipping-the team will
win more than they are now, but not
enough to make them a pennant pos
sibility. The pitchers McGinnity has,
with few exceptions, do not give the
players confidence, and I'm told there
is not the utmost harmony among the
men. I do not know whether that's
true, but I do know this-the team
plays anything but, the ball a har-
monious team should.
We're sorry the team is in such a de-
plorable condition, and the fans, who
turn in large numbers, are sorry,
too. apparently, but 1t is generally
agreed that while McGinnity is a good
ball player, he's a poor manager.
He speaks of his second" finishes.
He has Harry Wolverton to thank for
one Of them, and Wyatt Lee, picked
up on a chance, for the other. This
year is McGinnity's. He's made a
beautiful mess of 1t SO far.

1T Is rumored that Coach Kennedy, of
the Yale crew, will not be r~e-engaged
next year on account of the miserable
showing of the Yale crew. This, by
the way, brings to mind the great work
~ ID-t.114An ararr C. Saturday ~ In ifG
race with Cornell and Yale. For the
first intercollegiate race In twenty-six
years he performance was a streling
one and q great credit to Professor
Spaeth.
It's too bad Carnegie will not allow
four-mile spins in order that Princeton
might engage in the big college rowing
affairs, as the showing the crew made
the first time out against big rivals
was even better thai expected. Prince
toms cup of gladness was further filled
by tie Tigers 8 0 victory over Harvard.
The game shove the great strength of
Pitcher Woodle. Princeton, with such
a man, should not worry much about
meeting Yale, provided her nine car
maintain it's excellent place of today.

Jim Prendergast, manager of the
Forest Hill b. b. c., maxi the follow
ing statement regarding the dispute
which ended the game between his
team and the Branch Brook A. c. at
Columbia oval yesterday afternoon:
THE score in the sixth inning, At
which time the Branch Brooks left the
field, was 6 to 3 in favor of the visitors.
Forest Hill had two men on bases,
with one down, and four of our best

the ball to left, and the umpire called
the ball fair. The Branch Brooks pro-
tested, claiming it was foul, and, after
considerable ~wrangling, l made the
arbitrator change his decision. Then
l announced to the fans that bets,
there being many, should be called off.
When the game was about to proceed
the Branch Brooks walked off the field,
claiming that 1 had no right to talk re-
garding money"
There isn't any use of talking, his
boy Roger Salmon, pitching for Tome
School, is a crackajack. The harder
the team the better he pitches. Take,
for instance, Saturday, against the IA
nous Cathedral School, of Washing
ton, D. c., he let his opponents down
without a hit or a run. and allowed
but one man to reach first.
Salmon famed fifteen; his opponent
got nine. In addition to holding his
men hitless the Newark boy got two
smashing doubles and drove five of
Tones six runs over the pan. That
put him in the lead in the team bat
ting, about .s85. Salmon may pitcn a
game or two for the South Orange F.
c. this year.

A week after tie Kline match Willie
Beecher will meet Johnny in
England. Summers will weigh in at
140 pounds at 2 o'clock. Summers is
some lightweight.
