BOB FITzSIMMONS SAYS
 M'FARlAND IS BEST
 RING GENERAL IN CAME
Many a Fight is Lost Says Lanky COrnishman Through Lack of
 Head Work.

Much depends on knowing what to do when you receive a heavy blow either on the jaw or in the stomach, says Robert Fitzsimmons. "The fight CT who has sense enough to stall, either by employing footwork or talk ing the full count usually lasts long makes a serious error if he srushes in headlong while his thinking ap paratus is befuddled, for it's often the case that while in this rattled state of mind he receives a smash bett at Carson City I might have been whipped if I hadn't used my head. Corbett knocked me down<in the sixth round. I wasn't near a knockout but I felt jared a bit and so took the count while on one knee. I got just enough rest in those few seconds to enable me to steady myself, and then, getting up I was as strong as ever. When Jeffries knocked me down in the second round at Coney Island conditions were different. I fell back ward and my head struck the floor. I didn't know what had happened and was at a big disadvantage Instead of making safe fight I tore in with no judgment and Jeff put me out. Head work in the ring is a valuable as- set. Of the modern boxers I think Mcfarland has the coolest head. He knows exactly what to do at the prop CT moment and never gets rattled. He's a product of the old school and one of the best ring generals in the ring"

MANAGER DOOlN NOW RESTING AT ATLANTIC
 CITY FOR FINAL LAP

Atlantic City, Aug. 1S-Manager Charles Dooin of the Philadelphia Ma tional League baseball team is here to convalesce. Dooin, who is suffering from a broken leg, the accident hap pening against St. Louis some time ago, intends remaining here for sev- eral weeks. He intended to coach thc Phillies from the bench soon, but his present condition will nos allow it. Dooin, who looks pale and worried, thinks the salty air will help him get into condition quicker than he would remaining in the Quaker City. He said yesterday:
 Tt will be pleasant change for me to stay here. feel that 1t is going to do me lot of good, although I would far sooner be with the boys in the plucky struggle they are making to remain with the leaders. Consid- ering the terrific handicaps under which we have labored this season credit in the world for their gameness course the return of Magee will be of vast assistance to the team. but am afraid that his return comes a bit too late, although one never can tell what may happen. I was in back in the game before the end of the season, but I guess it's the bench for mine for the balance of the year. It isstough to have to sit idly by an ] seeGour efforts ruined by the misfor- tune which has pursued us so long e3d So persistently, particularly when

REGGIE BROWNS PITCHING
 KEEPS BRIDGEPORT DOWN
Gibbs and Snyder TWi1 Good Ball But
 Waterbury Finger Does Better

Waterbury, Aug. 1S.-Bridgeport tried hard to put one over on Water bury yesterday but Reggie Brown was too good and his pitching enabled the O'Neil crowd to beat the Mechanics by to 0. Freddy Gibbs twirled a good game but as runs were scarce on the Bridgeport side, Capt. Crook put Snyder in after the seventh.
 Waterbury went out in order in the first but Stankard, first man up in the second. clouted a single to center field. Burns hit to Crook who threw wild to Litschi at second and both men were safe, Stankard going to high one to Kauff and Stankard SCOT ed on the throw in.
 In the sixth, O'Hara walked on four poor ones and immediately stole sec ond. Farrell flied out to Litschi. Stankard hit to center for two bases and OHara scored. Burns nit to Gibbs. who threw to Ruell catching Stankard at the third station. Ro- barge did himself proud by meeting a swift one on the beam and pushing 1t to the right field fence for three sacks. Burns tallying. Shovelin went
 In the eighth Waterbury started out for another run but failed to con- meet. O'Hara got a base on balls, stole second and then third, Kerr dropping the ball convieatly each time and de- laying just long enough to lose the assist. Farrell struck out, and then MT. Snyder worked his think-tank overtime by deliberately passing Stankard and Burns. Stankard start ed to steal second after his life to first, Stone throwing to Stow for. a trick throw. OHara bit and tried to score, the return to Stone from Stow getting him several feet away. Ro- barge went out, Stow to Crook.
 For Bridgeport, Litschi got a single in the very first chapter but it did not amount to anything. Until the fourth they went out in one, two, three or der. In that inning. Crook, second man up, hit to left field for two sacks, but he died there as Ladd struck out and Ruell flied out to Burns. In the fifth Kauff and Stow were retired in short order but Kerr hit to right and was followed by Gibbs with a bingle to Shovelin that was too hot for him to handle. A wild pitch put them on third and second respectively, but Eley

KLAUS HAS ADVANTAGE IN
 10 ROUND 60
Eaters Cyclone Thompson But
 Can't Knock Him Out

New York, Aug. 1S-Frank Klaus of Pittsburg gave Cyclone Johnny Thompson a severe drubbing for ten rounds at the National Sporting Club, last night, but was unable to knock out the Western fighter. In every one of the rounds Klaus had a big advantage, and hit Thompson at least ten times for every blow that was returned.
 That Thompson was able to stay thes limit was due, not to his fighting ability, but to a robust constitution. He had a jaw as hard as steel, and ribs and stomach that were like iron. They shed Klaus punches as if they were sent in by a weakling, not by one of the toughest walloping middle weights of America.
 Klaus cut Cyclones face until 1t looked like Hamburger steak. Thompson's nose, lips and cheeks were cut, the wounds shedding blood freely in the last three rounds, his face pre- senting a gory appearance. But de- spite his injuries Thompson managed to hang on till the final gong.
 l. was a real battle, marred a bit by too much clinching, with the men al- ways trying to the best of their abil- ity. Klaus won through his ability to land the cleaner punches. He cut up Thompson's face almost beyond recognition. Thompson takes his beat ings as a matter of course He is modern Joe Grim, with wonderful as- similative powers.
 Thompson had matters much his own way in the first four rounds. Klaus walked in cautiously, feinted his man and then swung with might and main. But Thompson was never there to receive the wallop. His pc culiar defense baffled Klaus in the early stages. Klaus tried hard to beat down his antagonists guard with smashing blows. He figured this was the only way Thompson's defense could be penetrated. The scheme be- gan to work along about the fifth round, when. Thompson tired percept- ibly under the rain of wallops. In this round Klaus cut a gash over Thompson's right eye with a forceful left. The crimson began to trickle and it bothered Thompson. Every time he lifted his glove to smear the flow, which bothered his vision, Klaus would step in with hard blows.

Tonight's Fight
 May Develop
 New Champion
If the Chicago Greek Beats Lewis, Papke Must Meet
 Him
Sailor Burke in Rare Fettle For His "Go With" With Papke
 Next Week

George Contas, a native of Sparta, Greece, who fights under the name Of Knockout Brown of Chicago, will meet Willie Lewis in New York at the Twentieth Century A. C.. tonight; Contas, or Brown, is a full fledged middleweight and for many months he has been a pugilistic sensation in the middle West. He is 21 years old, feet inches tall and can make the middleweight limit, 15S pounds at the ringside. His opponent is Willie Lewis, who recently claimed the ing Kid Henry of Albany. N. Y. They will meet at catch weights and Lewis will be outweighed by at least eight pounds.
 Brown has made rapid progress since he fought his way from obscurity. He put the rollers under so many antag- onists that he soon got the title of Knockout" and soon became a hero in and around the Windy City.
 If Brown wins this affair tonight he will receive a chance to try conclu- sions with Bill Papke, middleweight champion of the world, who boxes Sailor Burke at the same club, (the Twentieth Century,, next Tuesday night. Willie Lewis has been train and is said to be in good trim. He has never seen the Greek pugilist, but IS confident that he can make him step around at a lively rate.
 Papke is working hard for the Burke match. He wants to make a favor able impression on New York fight followers and intends to go after the Sailor with unusual aggressiveness. Burke has won his last eight battles and thinks he will show better form against Papke this time than when they clashed here just three years ago today. On that occasion Papke outclassed Burke and beat him all the way, but could not land a sleep walIop in six rounds. The Sailor has inn proved considerably since that event and has got rid of a supposed yellow streak. He is a dangerous man if he thinks an opponent is harmless, but against formidable fighter he some times lacks the requisite nerve to go in for a mixup

NO WnlfE HOPE ON
 POLITICAL HORIZON
 "1OO BAD" MOANS FI1z

Fftzsimmons in his prime was gen. eraly regarded as the hardest hitteS In the world. Those who remember the Cornishman and have seen Lang ford and Johnson insist that the col cred men cannot punch with the same power shown by the freckled Cornish man. Fftzsimmons modestly says he dosn't know whether these negroes are better punchers, but in sizing them up he declares that Johnson has a bet ter defence, that Langford can hit just as powerfully, and that it's a toss up as to ring knowledge. He seems to think that Johnson's greater height, reach and weight might prove too much for Langford, but the the same time he is inclined to doubt whether Johnson could stand up under storm of body blows from the Tar Baby. F1tz deplores the fact that there are no first class white heavyweights He can't explain the reason why the pres ent crop of white hopes does not in cIude such men as Jeffries, Corbett, Mccoy.

E|ks Play Tie
 In PIainfieId, N. ).

The Bridgeport Elks returned from P1ainfield, IN. J., early this morning with another tie game to their credit. They battled 12 innings with the crack team of the Plainfield Elks, and the struggle ended with the score 4 to 4. Kelly twirled a good game for the local Elks and Lannon was in fine form behind the bat. Gene McCann was unable to go because he had to stick with the Mechanics, and Jim O'Rourke is visiting in Coatesville, Pa, so he was unable to play.
 Bill O'Leary pleased the crowd by his hitting and fielding, and Fritz Musante made several sensational plays. Joe Neisner made some good stops at third base, and City Clerk Steve Boucher was a hearcat with the wagon tongue. The Plainfield E1ks gave the locals a fine time. The Bridgeport players were taken in au- tomobiles from the station and after partaking of refreshments at the Elks' clubhouse were taken for a sightseeing tour of the city.
 The Bridgeport lineup: Kelly, p; Lannon, c; Donnelly, 1b Musante, 2b; Neisner, 3b; Nichols, ss; Burdick, If; of; O'Leary, If.

Driver Dies With Horse Leading In
 Exciting Finish

Terryville, Aug. 17-As he crossed the finish line, victor in three quarter mile trotting race, last even ing, death claimed Charles Wheeler 56 years old, a well-known driver on the race tracks of the State. On Thursday evenings for the past few weeks there have been quarter mile trotting races on the main street be- tween owners from this place and nearby towns.
 Last night Wheeler, who said he would drive a horse when everybody else was afraid. drove Tillie, owned by William Eustice in a brush with Glenn B.. owned and driven by John Burns of Bristol. The race was a pretty one and it was nip and tuck until just before the wire was reach ed when the veteran driver urged his horse ahead and crossed the line in the lead of his competitors.
 As the horse and sulky crossed the line the driver was seen to sway to one side and fall to the ground. When picked up and a physician summoned he was dead and according to the medical examiner he died before strik- ing the ground.
 MT Wheeler's home was in Torring- ton where he leaves a widow and four children.

SNODGRASS GREATLY
 IMPROVED OUTFIELOER
 BY MIGRANTS TRAINING

Because he could not maintain the terrific pace he set the country's best hitters for a while last season they called Fred Snodgrass of the Giants a bloomer. They pointed to an aver age under .270 and wondered why Mike Donlin, at the time a Giant. was not planted out in center field to add a little hitting strength to the club.
 That was before the Giants were we'll into their second western trip. Up to that time Snow" did not hit like man who at one time threat ened to get himself an automobile by the accuracy and power of his bat swinging. Since then times have changed.
 Starting his campaign against the weakening St. Louis beavers, Snod- grass rushed his batting figures up to .2S9, where they stood when the most recent records were published. On the entire trip he failed to get one or more hits in only two games. Usual ly he got two or three.
 Today he is probably batting close to 300, and is climbing so steadily that it is only question of a little time before he will again be recog- niZed as one of the most dependable stickers in the league. His hitting during the past three weeks has been one of the most important features of the Giants offense.
 Along with his improvement in bat ting Snodgrass has shown a greater advance in the fielding art than any man on the New York club. There was a time when the young CaIiforn- ian held his job solely on the strength of his hitting. Transplanted to the outfield after years of experience--at a college. it is true, but experience just the same-as a catcher, he did not find the outfield as easy job to field as catching had been.
 Accustomed to the shorter peg to second base, he could not get his arm accustomed to the longer heave from the outfield to the plate or to one of the bases. Constant practice has so his wing that his arm is today as much feared as Jack and there isn't a base run ner in the country who will take many chances with the Pink 'Un' holding the ball. Snodgrass is the most improved outfelder in the coun- try today and is fast getting back to his old-time hitting form.
