Andrews Tells OF Clabby's Fight
With Smith In Australian Storm
Such
Be Again With Him
T.. S..

Milwaukee, Wis. Aug. 26.-Con you
imagine anything more thrilling in a
boxing contest than two men battling
through 20 rounds in a terrific down
pour OF rain, with heavy peals of thun-
der and flashes OF lightning to cheer
the men alongi
The above, in a nutshell, gives an
idea Of how Jimmy Clabby. the Amer
lean welter weight champion. and
Dave Smith. the Australian champion,
fought during their memorable battle
at Sydney last January.
Recently 1 received a letter from a
friend in France. WHO had witnessed
this contest, and who wanted TO know
whether or not it was Clabbys hardest
fight during his trip around the world.
There is no hesitancy in stating that
the battle was without doubt, the
severest test that Clabby had during
his entire tour. and it is doubtful
whether he will ever have another ex>
perience of that kind
There were over $4,000 people pres
ent when Clabby and Smith met, and
had 1t not been for the fact that the
fight was postponed three times on
account of rain, there would have been
10000 people present, just as large
crowd as witnessed the Burns-Johnson
bout On the night of the contest, the
clouds were still hanging over the
city. and threatened rain. but despite

this fact, the place was crowded with
$4,000 wildly enthusiastic fans
For nine rounds the men battled at a
terrific clip, neither one gaining any
advantage. although on clean boxing
Claoby appeared to have the best OF II.
Then the thunder began to roar, and
flashes of lightning lit up the huge
stadium. as though it were day, and in
a few moments it appeared as If the
clouds had simply opened and let the
water down, in bucketsful The 24-foot
ring was flooded with water, every
thing being in the open. 1t was no or
binary rain, but the drops were like
marbles. and as they pelted down
against the mems flesh. the splashes
could be heard distinctly around the
ring.
After the battle Clabby remarked:
Gee. have had so fights, but this
is the toughest proposition ever went
through. AT first the rain came down
so hard that I thought I would have to
go under, and the crashes of thunder
and flashes of lightning scared me
little, but after going through one
round OF 1t, I forgot all about the
storm and I could only think Of my
opponent. but 1 hope I will never have
another such experience"

San Antonio. Texas. Aug. 26.-By
making a clean sweep Of the home
series, winning 20 straight games
and breaking the Texas league record
the Austin team has lead which in
dicates the organization has the Texas
pennant cinched. The greatest num-
Der of straight games ever won in
Texas before was 4. In winning the
20 games Austin defeated every team
in the league, demonstrating rather
clearly that the team is in class by
itself II Dale Gear. who is one of
the most popular managers in the
the league, wins a pennant this year
It viii be his first since he has been.
a manager. He has always had
good team. finishing nearly always in
the first division, but always falling
short of first place by a few games.
Galveston May Drop Out.
1t is hardly probable that the Texas
league will finish the season with full
eight clubs 1t is probable that Gal
weston will be dropped and the sea-
son finished out with seven teams.
There is a probability Of Oklahoma
City also being dropped out, but the
owners of that franchise are of such
a scrappy nature that conditions may
be allowed to drag along until the
end of the season
Conditions from a financial stand
point are growing worse instead of
better and the present season will be
one of the most disastrous in the
history Of the Texas league. There
seems TO be a general lack of interest
IN baseball in Texas. The Southwest

Excellent ball was being played an&
the race was a close one. but suffi-
cient patronage could not be secured.
The exceptionally hot summer may
have been the cause of the small at
tendance. At least the managers are
hoping this is the case rather than a
general lack of interest in the ma
tional pastime.
The Averages Interesting.
The batting and fielding averages
of the Texas players just issued Is of
particular interest at this time as by
it largely will be decided the future
of a number of players, both as to
whether they go into faster company
or whether or not they remain with
their respective teams for the next
season.
The Pitchers.
Miller, of Waco. continues the lead
ing pitcher. He has finished IS
games. winning IA. losing three and
tieing one. This is as good record
as has ever been made in the Texas
league by any pitcher. This twirler
seems fully seasoned for faster COM
pany. His winning record Is all the
more remarkable when II Is conSid-
cred that the batting average of the
Waco team is seventh and little bet
ter than Galveston. Molly, of Fort
Worth, is second with record Of Is
wins and only four lost. Robinson,
the left handler Of Fort Worth, who
has already been gobbled up by Pitts
burg, of the National league. has won
Is and lost five. Toner, Of San An
tonic. youngster who is pitching his
first year in the Texas league. IS
next with seven games won and only
two lost Oggles, of Waco. another
likely looking twirler, has won Is
and lost six Taylor. who Austin has
sold to Detroit, has won IA and lost
10. Munsell, of Dallas, who a time
back was the leading league pitcher,
and who has been purchased by New
York, has won Is games and lost 10.
Lfngenfelder. also being angled for by
the big leagues, has record Of IL
won and nine lost.
The Batters.
Wakefield. Of San Antonio, leads
the league in batting His average
is $40. He is an outfielder and has
played a consistent fielding game
throughout the season. Lavender, of
Fort Worth. veteran, is the second
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-08-26

with an average of $3.50. Nance, of
Fort Worth. however. is the real
league leader. He has an average of
1928. Mcdonald, the promising young
shortstop Of the Dallas team, and
who may wear a New York Giant
uniform next year, has kept up his
remarkable work. batting 800. and
fielding 1928. standing second in the
list of shortstops in the league The
homa City; Forsythe. Of Dallas: Riggs
OF Houston; Lemon, of San Antonio
and James of Galveston
The Fieiders.
In the fielding averages Gardner of
Austin is the best first baseman, with
Metz of San Antonio, a. close second
G. Smith of Austin is the best sec
ond baseman and Daringer of San An
tonic follows close. OF the third
basemen. Mcdonald of Austin is the
real leader. Yohe of Oklahoma City
is close behind him. Cook of Austin
is the best shortstop, wallace of San
Antonio and Mcdonald of Dallas rank
ing second and third respectively
Whiteman of Houston is the best left
fielder, Thebo Of Galveston the best
center fielder, and jolly of Fort
Worth the best right fielder.
1t will be noticed In the averages
that the Austin men are nearly all
either first or second in fielding and
this Is why the team Is making such
hard fight for the pennant honors.

Harry Ables Sensation
in Pacific Coast League
By PAUL MAZE.

TTARRY ABLES, the Ell Paso pitcher
who played such sensational ball
- - for FL Paso last year. Is in Oak
land, CAL, pitching in the Pacific Coast
league. The big twirler has an excellent
record behind him for the year. and
recently pitched a four hit shut out
against Portland. the team which was
leading before the game, but the defeat
administered by Ables made them low
er their colors. Ables is also clouting
the horse hide at lively clip, and is
the one pitcher who is instrumental in
bringing Oakland so near the top; It is
now third door south. Several scouts
have been after him. and the New York
Americans have given a satisfactory
bid. and he and Ford will be team
mates after the coming fall.
Aviation is tossup with death In
the long run, but Lieut. Conneau. Of
the French army, more commonly
known as Beaumont" has cleared over

so bad.
Manager McGraw, of the Giants, is
credited with the following good adj
vice: The best team Is not the one
that makes the smost hits, but the one
that makes the most runs off the few
est hits"
Dope on the Pacific Coast league now
centers about Portland. Vernon for the
past few weeks has been in the lead,
but Portland has beat her out by 10
points. and a continued gain by the
Portlanders is expected Portland. &C.
cording to latest averages, had played
13s games. winning rs and losing go
with an average of .555, while YER
non, having played 143, has won Is and
lost 65, with an average of .545. Vernon
in all probability will not touch the
top rung again, as it has played eight
more games than Portland and therefore
its season will close much sooner. Port
land has stood near the top for sew
eral years. and has a strong bunch Of
players, several of whom are now
claimed by the majors.
Mathewson for the Giants is still
considered by some to be the greatest
pitcher in the game. In a recent game
in which he allowed only 80 batters TO
face him. he delivered only go pills, a
fraction over three per- The balls pitch

and it Is really a hard question as to
which is the better pinch pitcher but
the odds seem somewhat in favor of
Mathewson along that line. However, if
the two averaged together. pinch pitch
ing and percentage wins still leave

Danforth. the new star chucker for
the Philadelphia Americans. is a Texas
lad and went TO school at Baylor col
lege at Waco, Tex. Before he was
summoned by the Athletics he had won
20 consecutive games for his school
and is now proving to be of worth TO
the Connie Maekites. He has relieved
several of the old standbys. such as
Plank. Coombs. and has won the tail

all to himself, winning two and losing
one. Mack knew what he was doing
when he nailed onto Danforth, and the
