LEWIS PLUCKY
FIGHT IN PARIS
Goes 18 Rounds With Gunther
With Injured Hand Light
weights After Title.

PHILADELPHIA, May 29.-Cable ad-
vices from Paris say that Harry Lewis,
the recognized welterweight champion OF
the world. injured his right hand In the
second round OF the twenty-round bout
with George Gunther. the Australian mid
dleweight, at the Wonderland Club ST
urday night. Lewis was unable to con-
ceal his injury after the seventh round,
as his arm frequently dropped helplessly
to his side. Gunther either thought 1t
was a ruse, or else was afraid to take a
chance. He outboxed Lewis in thirteen
OF the twenty rounds. Why shouldn't he?
Two hands against one! Had his heart
been In the right place, with his skill and
ability to hit, he should have beaten Lew
is down long before the twentieth round.
The result of the bout only further proves
Lewis claim to be able to hold his own
with one hand against such a tough op-
ponent as Gunther.
Lewis was under contract with the
Wonderland Club for three fights. The
bout Saturday night with Gunther was
his first Of the contract. and il the injury
to his hand is as serious as was first
expected, the accident will cost him at
least $4,000. He had prospective engage
ments in the south of France and in Eng
land, including contests and exhibitions,
which would have netted him that sum.

WORLDS RECORDS
AT CELTIC PARK
Sheridan Scales the Discus
141.4 3-8-McGrath Puts
35-Lb. Weight So Feet.

NEW YORK. May 2e-with one
worlds record established, another best
on the books created. and an exceptional
performance at 100 yards, the games Of
the New York Post Ohice Clerks Asso-
ciat1on yesterday at Celtic Park bristled
with interesting periods. Probably 1000
persons witnessed the sports. which were
participated in by the largest fields OF the
season.
Martin Sheridan. holder Of the discus rec
ord, demonstrated his competitive worth
by snatching victory out Of defeat in his
last trial by scaling the Grecian missile
the hitherto unprecedented distance of 141
feet 4as inches. thereby displacing the
worlds best figures Of 139 feet 1O31 inches.
Up to this throw the mighty 1rishman' 8
chances Of a win looked dubious. as he
was conceding that much improved ath-
lete. Jim Duncan Of the Mohawk A. c.,
eighteen inches. The latter had got the
weight out the highly creditable distance
OF 137 feet in his second throw, and
looked all over q winner.
Matt McGrath of the New York A. c..
sfgnalized his return to active field work
by establishing a worlds record at throw
ing the 35-pound weight for distance.
He got the weight the remarkable dis
tance Of 53 feet IL inches, defeating
among others the national champion at
the "56." Con Walsh. Incidentally the
contest savored of New York A. c..
competition as all OF the placed men were
wearers Of the winged foot. Simon
Gillies was third with Al feet 81 inches.

ST. LOUIS RELEASES MYERS.
Browns First Baseman Did Good
Work. But Is Let Out.

Special Dispatch to The Star
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, May 29.-The national
commission will probably be asked to de-
eide the ownership Of First Baseman
Ralph Myers. Manager Wallace Of the
Browns announced Thursday that he had
turned the lanky fellow back to the Bos-
ton Red Sox. However. Manager Patsy
Donovan Of the Boston team declined to
take the player, claiming that he had
been with the Browns longer than the
ten days named in the optional agreement
under which he was obtained from the
Red Sox.
Just why Myers was released by Man
ager Wallace is puzziing to the fans. The
former Louisville first baseman had
hade a good showing here and proved
that he was a far more valuable man
than any player who has done duty on
the first cushion for the Browns this
season. He Is a superior baseman to
Newman and Criss. and while he is not
q hitter of Criss' caliber. he managed to
bat just a trifie less than 800 during his
stay here. He made only q few errors
and no mistakes.
President Hedges says he doesn't know
who will be the first baseman. I'VE may
spring a SURPRISE" was his only COM
ment That probably means that Hedges
Is dickering for some first sacker.

BARROW INFL|CTS
SEVERE PENALTIES
Eastern League Players Are
Fined and Suspended for
Umpire Batting.

NEW YORK, May 20-Presadent Edward
Barrow Of the Eastern League today
dealt out punishment for rowdyism that
marked several games last Saturday and
Sunday. Players Corridan. Pierce,
Schirm. Beckendorf and Stailings of the
Buffalo club were fined $50 each for their
part In the batting OF Umpire KERN at
Rochester Saturday. and Pitcher Speer Of
the same team, who threw the ball at
KERN. was suspended for five days. In ad-
dition to receiving the same fine. Man
ager Joe Kelly Of Toronto was fined $50
and suspended for abusing Umpire Hart
in the Toronto Montreal game Saturday.
Manager McGinnity Of Newark was
fined $50 for disputing decision OF Umpire
Murray In Newark yesterday. and Second
Baseman Nee Of the same team was both
fined and suspended. There was almost
q riot when Murray called Nee out at
home for not touching the plate. and both
Nee and McGinnity were banished from
the field for the vigor of their objec-
tons.
Il am convinced" says President Bar
row. in q statement issued with the PEN
atty announcements. that the club
owners and patrons OF this league do not
want rowdyism nor umpire batting. and /
am determined to stamp 1t out at all

giving entire satisfaction IL the man.

the Indians. However, Manager McAleer
OF the Nationals, when in st. Louis. said
he believed George was a good pitcher
and would take the southpaw OF Wal
lace's hands IL he got a chance. So Mr..
George may be sent to Taftville in a few
days. But McAleer will give no players
in exchange.
Danny Hoffman and Jimmy Murray are
others ready for a transfer. Hoffman
has been crowded out Of a regular berth
by youngsters. There is still probably a
bit of good base ball left in Hoffman. but
he will not show 1t here. Manager Wal
lace has more outfielders than he can
use, and unless the Cleveland club holds
Dan because OF the crippled condition of
the Maps at present, the Bridgeport per-
son is due to slip to the minors.

For several seasons the Nationals out
field has been pointed to as the teams
greatest weakness because OF the lack
of hitting strength in those positions. On
the showing to date this season no such
claim can be made, however, for Milan
Lelivelt and Gessler are hitting just over
the 800 mark. What is more, the latter
pair is constantly improving. so that at
the rate 1t Is now going the average
of the trio should be considerably higher
at the end Of the present month.
So it would seem that the teams failure
to date has not been the result Of weak
work in the outfield. The inf1eld has not
done much hitting, but 1t, too, has i'm
proved. There is no doubt that II Nc

form the Nationals are not going to be
easy to beat from this out.
Pitcher Hugh High, from the Tidewater
League. Is expected to report to Manager
McAleer today. It Is not likely that High
will be seen in any of the games here for
a while, at least. He was picked up
merely because he showed signs OF devel-
oping into pitcher. and he will do most
of his worl9 for a while at least, pitching
to the batters in practice.
Jack Powell fthe st. Louis Browns Is
a study In endurance. Next to Cy Young
he is the veteran Of the big league pitch
games every year, and 1t is possible that
his diamond longevity Is due to the fact
that he has the easiest Of deliveries. He
swings his arm with the least possible
strain.
This Is Powelrs fifteenth year In the
big leagues. Up to 1911 he pitched in $50
games. winning 229 Of them and losing
221. He has averaged thirty-five games
1897 with the Clevelands and that year
won fifteen games and lost twelve. In
1898 he won twenty-four games for Cleve-
land and lost fifteen. He pitched for the
his respective winnings and defeats for
those three seasons being as follows:
twenty-five. seventeen and nineteen;
nineteen, eighteen and eighteen. He was
with the ST Louis Americans IN 1902 and
ing seventeen in 1902 and winning nj
teen and losing nineteen In 1908. In
1904 for the New York Americans ne won
twenty-three games ana lost nineteen.
Since then he has been with the st.

and losses: 1905, eleven-fourteen: 1905.
