LANcFoRD KNOCKS OUT ROSS.
Loser Shows Great Gameness at Ma.
tional Sporting Club.

NEW YORK, August "a fearful left
hook on the point Of the jaw. delivered
by Sam LanSford, the wonderful Tar
Baby, sent Tony Ross. the New Castle
heavyweight into dreamland in the sixth
round at the National Sporting Club last
night. Langford was the master In
science and punching. but Ross gave an
exhibition Of gameness not often seen in
the prize ring.
After Ross had practically exhausted
his strength in trying to beat the negro
down in the first three rounds he took a
terrific beating In the fourth, with the
result that twice the rugged Italian was
fiattened for count by tie referee After
the second knockdown Ross stood up
under q storm of smashes. Many OF
them reached his jaw and he staggered
around the ring. yet in spite Of the merci-
less bombardment he managed to stay
until the bell rang.
As the NTH round orened Ross fairly
stunned the big crowd by outfghting
courage. Perhaps the Tar Baby was
stalling. but the fact remains that Ross
had much the better of this round. hut
i'm the eighth round the crafty Tar Baby
concluded to put an end to II all, and
when he found the proper opening he
shot In a left hook that laid Ross square
ly upon his back. unable to arise until
his seconds rushed to his assistance
I.angford PROMPTLY agreed to fight Fire
man Jim Flynn at the National Sporting
Club in about three weeks postponing
his departure for Australia. where he will
fight Jack johnson, until October 4.

points out of possible four. Marshall

pin, while Joiner and Chajes both
drew, the former with LoeWenfisch,

BY virtue of his victory over Choti-
mirski Schlechter has now three wins
to his credit and is leadin~ the field
by n point, his nearest rivals being
Alechine, Rubinstein and Suechting,
who have q score of 2h points.
Other results of yesterday were: Ale

.H|LDRETH TO SELL
sbs0ss.sss .. j.
HIS THOROUCHbREDS
Star Racers of Last -Four
Years Will Be Put Under the
Hammer Next Month.

NEW YORK, August 25.-S. c. Hill
dreths great stable Of race horses, the
winning champions of various ages for
three years on the turf, will be sold at
auction at Sheepshead Bay September Z.
There are twenty-five head in the string.
Among the lot are Fitz Herbert, the fast
est horse in America over any distance
of ground during the seasons of 1908
9-'1O-'11; Novelty, the Futurity winner
of last year and the best three-year
of the year: King James, a consistent
handicap winner, and Zeus, a fast three
year-old.
If racing were not dead" this stable
of great thoroughbreds rich in blood
lineage of winning sires and many hard
fought races, would bring at least $780,.
COO under the hammer. During the last
three years they placed their owner at
the head Of the winning list. Each sea-
son Hildreth's winnings amounted to
$50, GOO or thereabouts. 1t was F'itz Her
bert, King James and Novelty that en-
abled Hildreth to displace James r..
Keene from the position of leading win
ming American turfman, place he had
held for many year.
Just what the twenty-five horses will
bring under the present turf conditions
Is a matter of conjecture. If any por-
tion of the English turf wants the
horses or any breeder in England or
France is anxious to place them in his
stud the horses will fetch large sums.
But as racing material their values are
practically nil. During the early part of
the season Hildreth campaigned them in
the southern and Canadian circuits, and
they won nearly all the big events. With
little or no prospect of racing in this
state this year-or any other season, turf
men say-Hildreth is anxious to sell the
entire lot

DUBLIN, Ireland, August 25.-The Ger
mantown Cricket Club sustained their
second straight defeat in ireland, when
they went down at the hands of the Phoe-
nix Cricket Club here yesterday, the mar
gin against the visitors being loo runs.
The cause OF the tourists defeat was their
batting, or, rather, their lack of bat
ting. In their first attempt they scored
2O7, the last wicket being responsible for
80 Of these runs, and their second innings
was pitiful, their total being only 55. Ross

Bender is probably as good today as he
was when he last faced the Giants. A4ddie

They Keep on Winning.
For the last two seasons the Athletics
have figured as real pennant contenders.
They won last season and will probably
repeat this year. But in all their appear
ances in st. Louis, even against the tail
end Browns, they have failed to impress
local fans. But they keep on winning
just the same.
While Chief Bender was Mack's main
reliance last season, the Indian received
valuable aid from John Coombs. the
Maine iron man, but the New Englander
has not had such q successful campaign
this season. However, 1t is probable that
he is being nursed along by the wise Cor
relius, and will do his real work when

But when Coombs fell down, Eddie
Plank came to life again. He did his
share OF the work last season, but the
real work was left to Bender and
