Philadelphia Fans

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 5.-The
appearance of Germany Schaefer at first
base for the Nationals in the afternoon
game yesterday was the signal for loud
cheering from the Philly fans, who
bank on the Dutchman to provide them
with sideshow. He lived up to- his
reputation, too, and was not on the
field five minutes before ne had struck
up a conversation with some fans In
q box.
In the preliminary practice Schaefer
was a bit tender in reaching for widely
thrown balls, and those that forced him
TO dig into the dirt, but he grabbed a
few, and then stood on one foot Just
to prove to the folks in the box that he
was there.
Wien Chief Bender came out to the
coaching box back of first the Nationals
comedian waved him away, saying, "Tn
take care Of this place, Chief 60 on
out Of the hot sum-" This brought the
laugh from the fans,
Manager McAleer was pleased to have
his regular flrst-stacker- in shape to
play, and said that Schaefer's presence
on the field added 80 per cent to the
playing strength of the team.

The crew OF the Potomac Boat Club

mates, a reception now being planned
for them by their club members.
The Junior eight rowed to victory In

line a scant length ahead of the
crack Vesper boat from Philadelphia.
Throughout the struggle over the mile
course. the Potomac. Vesper and Ariel
crews raced bow to bow, hardly a yard
separating them at any time So hard
was their fight for the honors. that the
huge crowd was kept cheering con-
stantly.
Finally, as the three shells came with
in sight Of the finish line, the coxswain
of the Potomac boat called for the su-
preme effort. His men responded and
swept ahead of the Vespers q foot,
yard, two yards, and then gained q
whole length just as they went over
the line. The Ariels, Of Baltimore, were
third.

Potomac crew put up grand struggle

Huge Crowd Expected at
Garden Tonight When
- Black Men Meet.
DETAILS OF POLICE
TO STOP DISORDER
Winner Will Seek Chance to Face
Jack Johnson For Champion
ship of the World.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5-Al New York
is waiting for the bell to ring that
sends Joe jeanette hurtling against
Sam Langford in Madison Square Gar
den tonight, and the outlook is for an
attendance to equal that which gath
cred for the Wells-Brown bout a week
ago. There is bad blood between the
two boxers, and Langford will, un-
doubtedly, endeavor TO put jeanette
away with least dispatch. Jeanette be-
lieves that victory will entitle him to
p chance against Jack Johnson, and
he is primed for the battle.
In another way this bout is attract
ing unusual attention. II there arc
scenes Of disorder at the garden to-
might, 1t man mean the end of public
boxing in this city. Yesterday word
was sent to both boxers that II any
stalltng Is noticed, Referee Charlie
White will Immediately stop the fight,
and neither boxer will receive any
money for his services. Such a notice
Is considered foolish on the part Of
the management, but it is indicative
OF the mental condition Of the promo
tors here.
Large details OF police will be OF
duty. inside and outside Of the huge
building, and no disorder will be al
lowed for an instant. The police have
received orders to quell all disturb
ances before they get under way.
Langford and Jeanette have finished
their training. For weeks they have
worked like Trojans for the battle, and
its the word of experts that no finer
point Of physical condition could be-
man is sure he will bring home the
bacon" Charlie White says that he
looks for hard battle, basing his pre-
dlction on the sensational bouts the pair
have engaged in before.
When Langford gets into the ring he
will appear as he never did before
New York crowd. That paunch he has
been wont to carry has disappeared. No
man in the ring does he more respect
than Jeanette, and that was the reason
he worked so hard to bring himself
down from his usual 100 pounds. And
he says he is just as fast as he ever was
in his life, his punch is still there and
with 1t he expects to drop jeanette
Jeanette, too is rigid for the bout
and believes he will outpunch, outgame,
and, in fact, outdo 1angford in every
thing this evening and carry off the
prize, as well as the right to meet Jack
johnson first.
A comparison Of the records of Lang
for dand Jeanette show how equal the
men are. While Langford is the popu-
1t when their fights are compared
against men they both fought.

Showing Against Richmond
Gives Washington ANA
teur Fans Hope.
BALTIMORE WILL BE
HARDEST TO CONQUER
Feinle Not at His Best, But
Rawlings Wins the Sec
ond Contest.

Now that the first games Of the1
city series Is over, and the fans have
had chance to see Baltimore and
Richmond in action, the opinion today
seems to be that the Bankers have
about the best chance Of coping the
pennant. .y
Playing yesterday under the most ad-
verse conditions, Washington easily
outclassed Richmond. and all but de-
feated Baltimore. Having played three
games In two days, to come back with
two more games with but one day in
between, Is a great handicap on anna
teurs, yet that is what the Bankers did
yesterday. On a strange diamond, in
real ball park. and before nearly
1000 people. 1t Is no wonder the Bank
ers were nervous in the first game, and
kicked the ball all over the field. The
members OF the team were all In, they
were worn out, and very naturally
didn't play anywhere near up to their
standard.
Feinle Not at Best.
Feinle was not at his best, plainly
shown by the fact that he gave five
passes to first base. When right. he
hardly ever passes q man. Rawlings

The beauty Of the Bankers aggrega-

Is not a real star on II. but the men

In the field
Baltimore Formidable.
Baltimore seems to be the real con-
tender against the Washington bankers
for the championship. The Maryland
A. c. team is composed OF old players,
college men, and amateurs who have
been playing for years, and they know
the game. According to Norval King,
he did not show his real pitcher yes
terday, although Eddie Harlan did well
enough. King says his pitcher in Bal
timore will allow the Bankers not more
than two hits In the next game, and
with Pendleton on short and Harlan in
the field, the Oriole outfit Is most for
midable.
The next series Is Saturday In Rich

there at 4 o'clock. The team win re-
turn home the same night.
