NEW YORK, August 3O.-Joe jean

Flynn of Boston by small margin in
ten-round bout at the Fairmont Ath-

the fight to Flynn during every round

Jeanette had the better of the early
rounds, but in the middle sessions Flynn
was able to rip in several hard punches
to the face. Once in the sixth round he
uppercut Joe hard. Jeanette, however.
did not seem to mind the punch and
dropped his hands. inviting Porky to
punch him again. Flynn, thinking it a
trap, refused to follow up his advantage.
Jeanette started off as though he
would win in a round or two with a
Knockout but as time wore on he missed

Six times Jeanette ripped over straight

punches landing in quick succession. This
treatment caused Flynn to fight hard,
ard he sent over three hard inside left

Jeanette started the fifth off we'll with

SKULL NOT A CORPSE.
Men Arrested Adjudged Not Guilty
of Rodv Snatchinp

THOA1PSONVILLE, Conn, August 30
That a skull is not a corpse has been de-
cided definitely after due consideration by
Judge Morrison Of the Connecticut court
here. The court by this ruling released
the sexton of the Thompsonville ceme-
terry and Arthur L. Pillsbury, a medical
student from Springfield. Mass. from the
charge of body snatching.
1t was shown in court that the sexton
and medical student removed a skull
from a grave. The court declared that
the skull was only a portion of q corpse,
whereas the statute under which the ar
rest was made called for a whole body.
The skull taken was that of an unidenti-
fled man who committed suicide by
drowning and was buried by the town.
No further action will be taken by the
authorities.

Neither the American Security and

The Bankers and the Cornell nine have

there will be no game until Friday, the

Monday the Richmond team is due here

pear that the Southland team would be

hard To see wherein ii would have any

Just what kind of a team Richmond
will bring here is not known. Whether it
ranks above the class of the local anna

doubtful if il can present any better col

Both Cornell and Bankers Likely to Be
Handicapped by Having to Use
Best Pitchers Saturday.

If the championship OF the city is de-
cided Saturday by a double-header be
tween Cornell and the bankers it is very
likely that the largest crowd of the sea-
son will lie on hand to witness the af-
fair. Both teams have large followings,
and there is great deal more interest
centered in the result of the contest than
one would iT0as sne. The games played at
Capital City Park last Saturday would
have drawn an immense crowd had they
been pulled off at American League Park,
was contemplated. but as ii was there
are few people who knew that the con-
tests would be played at Capital City
Park until the game had begun, and there
are few who want to see a ball game aft

tion Of men in the field than it did this

Sam Edmondson. while he failed in his
one try in the box in the post-season
series. has done excellent work for the
Cornell team this year His work in the
outfied has been consistent since the
beginning of the season. Not only has
he fielded his job in good style. but he
has welded the stick in most effective
manner. The first two times at bat i'm
the big game against the Aloysius club
last Saturday he landed on the ball for
single and two-bagger
While younger player than Edmondson
might pull off one two grandstand
stunts during the year that would make
him look better than the veteran. in the
long run the player of the calber of
Edmondson is the kind of man to make
good and win a pennant in an amateur
league He is never nervous in a pinch
when it is needed, at the time when a
player of less experience would do what
is pretty nearly his worst.
While there has been a great deal of
comment on the fact that the Cornell
team was greatly weakened by the alb
sence of Hayes at short. it might be men
toned that King, while he has failed TO
hit to any appreciable extent, has field
ed his position in good style in every
game except the first, which did not
count In the first contest played by
the Cornell club against the Aloysus
nine it was very apparent that King was
so nervous that he could not give good
account of himself, and did not work
anywhere near up to his standard. Since
that. though, he has done consistent
work in the field, performing around
short as we'll or better than any other
infielder on the club.

Griff Bobs Up Again.

Again that yarn that Clark Griffith is to
manage the Browns next season is sprung
at the fans. AS for any announcement
from Owner Hedges, there is none. That
half dozen new men are being picked
to handle his club in 1912 is not dis
pleasing to the Browns president. He
looks upon it as good advertising.
Clark Griffith is known as the "Old
Fox" of base ball. That he is a shrewd
fellow there is no doubt. Certainly he
was wonderful pitcher when in his
prime But it Is fact that in Griff's career
as big league manager he has operated
more seconddivision teams than those he
landed among the first four. and 1t has
usually been Grin's good fortune to be in
charge of what looked like winning clubs
on paper.
He has failed in Cincinnati this year
with a team that before the season began
was generally picked to fight it out with
the Cubs. Giants and Pirates for the Ma
tional League flag. President Hedges may
think Griffith is capable base ball man
and may sign the Montana ranch owner
to handle his club. But it seems that the
Browns owner would look to some other
man after Grif's many failures.

him with some wonderfully fast shots
