POST SEASON SERIES
 FOR CLASS A CLUBS
Coast League President Advo. cates Game Between Win .ners, in Five Best Minor
 Leagues

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. fudge Thomas F. Graham, president of the Pacific Coast League, has a scheme which he thinks will have a tendency to promote interest in Class A base ball. Judge Graham would have all the winners of Class A pennants en- gage in post-season series to decide the championship team of that di- vision of organized baseball.
 Of the plan Judge Graham says:
 Tt would be the best thing that could be imagined for baseball This has been our greatest season, anyhow. The attendance is about 40 Der cent. higher than ever before in nearly all the coast cities. This is the year to being off this great post-season ser ies. As soon as I return to San Francisco I will start the ball rolling. I think all the baseball people will take it up eagerly.
 There Is everything in favor of such a scheme and nothing against it and I believe 1t would really do more for baseball in general than any one oth- CT thing. The American and Nation al leagues settle their championship every year.
 If we can start a minor league championship. baseball will be boom ed as 1t could in no other way. There are eight cities in each big league, or sixteen in both.
 "Now, in the five Class A leagues, which are the Eastern, Western, South- ern and Pacific Coast leagues and the American Association, there are thir- ty-eight clubs. or more than twice as many as in the two big leagues. A Class A championship would thus bring thirty-eight more clubs into the Hmeljght and thus create unbounded

TOM REILLY TO PLAY
 WITH CONGRESS BALL TEAM

Washington, Aug. That long postponed baseball game between teams representing the Republican and Democratic sides of the house of representatives is to be played next Monday afternoon sure. As the Ma tionals are playing at home just now, the house stars couldn't arrange for the use of the rejuvenated ball park at the head of Seventh street, and so, through the courtesy of the au- thorities of Georgetown university. the game will be played on the Georgetown diamond.
 The umpires will be Governor Ten CT of Pennsylvania, selected by the Republicans, and Representative Vic tor Berger, the Wisconsin socialist, chosen by the Democrats. Represen- tative Ayres of New York, will at tend to the official scoring.
 Tn the Democratic lineup will be Congressman Thomas L. Reilly of Connecticut, the old baseball mag nate who will hold down first base.
 Mr. Kinkead is captain of the Democratic team and MT. Burke will direct the Republican aggregation.
 The proceeds of the contest will go to swell the Washington playgrounds fund.

NO WONDER M'GINNITY
 FELT LIKE 4 MURDERER

Montreal accepts baseball with great deliberation,' said an Eastern league man the other day. Lacrosse, hockey and cricket are uppermost The fine points of baseball are not grasped A catch of a high fly is rapturously ap- plauded, while sharp double play is received in silence. The younger gen. eraticn has fairly good conception of the American pastime, but the old settlers are hay.
 After a recent game, in which the MontreaPs slaughtered the Newarks, 1e to 3, Iron Man McGinnity, was walk ing off the field. An elderly person ac- companied him to the dressing room, discussing reciprocity, international disarmament and like topics. McGin- nity listened in silence and finally the Montreal man said Good evening" He walked away a few yards, then sud- denly wheeled about and staggered McGinnity with this query.

BOXING

Jim Smith has something to say about Jack O'Brien's challenge to Sam Langford for the light heavy weight championship. O'Brien in his challenge complained that all the mid- dleweights in the country had refused to meet him. The "Westchester Cy- clone reminds OBrien that he re- fused a fight two months ago on the ground that he required some time to train. Jim Smith states that after his bout next Wednesday with Sam Langford he will be ready to meet O'Brien any time, anywhere.
 A fight that may end a promising career according to many London fight critics, Is that between Jack Johnson and Bombardier Wells, the English champion and the holder of Lord Lonsdale's heavyweight belt.
 Tn all quarters in England except cial possibilities this match has met with resentment Wells is by far the best boxer and the most promis- ing fighter that England has produced for many years, and those on the other side who have watched his quickly growing reputation and his achievements have fondly believed that in him they had found future worlds champion, one possessed of qualities to take back to England the Iong-lost honor.
 It is regarded as tantamount to pro- fessional suicide for him to meet Johnson at this stage of his develop ment and the uninterested section of the London press has no hesitancy in 'slamming the compact. Wells has only been out of the British army for a matter of eighteen months or so, and all his fighting has been done during the last year. He has come on a lot. is a clever boxer for a big man, has a good punch in either hand and is as game as they make them. But he is full of nerves and suffers from stage fright every time he enters the ring.
 There is no doubt that Johnson will be able to hypnotize him when they face each other, and Wells is expect ed to make a sorry showing. The match was offered to Hugh Mcintosh more than five weeks ago, but that as- tute gentleman, foreseeing the coming

local interest in that many centres of population. As it is now, when the seasons of the Class A leagues are finished in September the players re- tire for the winter, with the excep- tion of those on the coast, who play until Oct. g.
 "A plan to bring about the Class A championship games would not be a very difficult one to carry out. Con- corning the Eastern League and the American Association, which are sup posed to be the strongest of the min- ors in the East. we will say, for in- stance, that Baltimore wins the pen nant in the Eastern and Columbus in the American Association. They could arrange a series of seven games to be played in Pittsburg or Phila- delphia. In the Southern League and the Western, if New Orleans and Denver win the pennants, they could play for the honor of the South and West in St. Louis or some other cen tral point for them.''

CAMMI1z AND ADAMS
 PITTSBURG'S BEST BETS If They Fail to Continue Good ,. Work Pirates Lose Chance
 For Pennant

If PittsburE is to win a pennant Clarke must depend upon his two crack right handlers to turn the trick. This pair embraces Babe Adams and Howard Camnitz, both of whom have been doing fine work for the Pirate outfit all the year.
 Leif1eld is the next trusty member of his squad, but after all upon the showing of his two star right-hand- CTS must Frederick of Smoketown de- pend for a flag. If either fails him the race is off.
 Both Adams and Camnitz look to be better this year than ever before, as a pair. Camnitz has pitched star ball for several seasons, falling off one year, when it is alleged that he slid merrily from the top of the wa ter cart. He and Dreyfuss had a wordy rEl-in, carried their trouble to the league and Dreyfuss won. Cam nitz then showed he was made of the right stuff by not sulking after the decision but stepping in to pitch his best at every opening. And Camnitz pitching his best is tough gent to grapple with.
 Adams first flashed into fame against Detroit two years ago, but across the next season failed to set the circuit a1ane. It was thought then that he was but flash and had faded. He started off this season, however, as one of the stars of the league, and has held his stride ever since
 While both are hard for the Giants to beat, they are even harder for the Cubs and therefore should furnish McGraw a lot of help later on. For while New York has beaten Pitts burg g out of 12 games, Pittsburg has beaten Chicago the majority of bat ties fought to date, and the bulk of the winning has been done by the two crack right flanders referred to above.
 Both have the Cubs measured out, and if they can only hold their spell the Giants will have that much bet | chn

Pa|Zef Defeats
 Big Tom Kennedy
White Hope Knocks Out Opponent in Ninth Round
 of Sensational Bout.

In one of the toughest, toughest fights ever held within the city limits, Al Palzer, Tom O'Rourke's white hope, knocked out Tom Kennedy in National Sporting Club, New York. The knockout was on the technical order. When the bell rang to end the ninth round Kennedy was pros trate on the floor. He was carried to his corner, and when the gong tenth round, Kennedys seconds ad- mitted defeat and refused to allow their man to battle.
 The finish wound up in a sensa- tional manner. Many spectators who held watches claimed that the ninth round had gone ten seconds over the three minutes when the gong clang- ed! The official timekeep said that the bell sounded at exactly three minutes after the round sounded. What helped to add to the excite ment was that, in the seventh round Kennedy slipped to the floor and while lying there Palzer hit him with a right to the jaw This was un- doubtedly foul blow. But the sec onds of Kennedy failed to make a claim and stop the battle as they were Justified. So, though the crowd from the Kennedy corner, and .noth- ing was done.
 This was Kennedy's debut as a professional, and it was a hard one. He outclassed Palzer in cleverness. but the latter was too rugged and gave Kennedy little chance to dis play his skill. Palzer paid most at- tention to the body. While Kennedy ia bbed away with his left to the face, Palzer would sink in some terrible punches to the body and gradually wore his opponent down.

Waterbury Crouch Hit Hard While, Gibbs Holds Visitors
 Safe
(By Wagner.)

Thet glummast gloom in the Connec- ticut league of baseball clubs Is Pitch CT Callahan of Waterbury. When Cal little girl who wasn't invited to party. When the ump misses a strike Cal suIks and when somebody gets a hit the thin twirler throws down his glove. He hasn't smiled since grand ma was girl. It wasn't very hap py day for Cal yesterday because Roaring Bill Clarke, a Detroit scout, was supposed to be watching him, and the Mechanics slapped the Brass City heaver's delivery for Il raps, includ- ing two triples and a double.
 Freddy Gibbs had the O'Neil crowd looking like bogus money. He gave only seven hits and allowed only two passes The visitors frequently got men on the basses but in times of danger Gibby threw his subway ball and the result was an easy grounder or a pop fly. Although Manager Mo- Cam was not able to direct things from the bench Capt. Tom Crook kept the boys husthng. The manager is stfll suffering from the strain of pitching for the Elks against Derby and was unable to get out of bed yesterday.
 The Mechanics played lively ball, having only one error. That was a wide throw by Litschi who hurled the ball in too much of a hurry after he made a good stop of O'Hara's grounder in the fourth. Bob, Stowe. made a number of flashy stops and Crook was there with the fancy pick ups. Eley, Crook and Ladd were the leading sluggers. each having pair of safeties.
 Waterbury looked stronger than us- nal and It was, only the bad pitching that gave Bridgeport such cinch. Pond adds strength to the outdeld and Stankard looks good on first Ed die Shortell will replace Scanlon at second as soon as his finger gets better and then Waterbury will have a regular infield.
 The Mechanics got two in the open er Ltschi got a pass and Hi Ladd was hit by pitched ball. Foot Ruell walked and Benny Kauff shot dou- ble into right that scored Litschi and Ladd. In the second Stone was safe on Shovelin's error and Gibbs sacrific- ed EIey's single scored Stone and Litschi's three bagger to the left field fence taalied Eley. Lou came home on Crooks hit to right Bridge ports last two were made in the fourth on Eley's hit Litschi's sacri- flee. Crooks single and RuelPs triple that got by Nichols. The score:

NEW HAVEN POLICE
 CARTOONED BY OFFER

Chief Cowles Of the New Haven police department stated yesterday that he had received several insult ing letters from Fred Opper, a New York cartoonist, complaining because he had been forced to abide by the traffic rules when he came by the corner of Church and Chapel streets in an automobile some weeks ago. The statements of the New Yorker have caused considerable feeling among the members of the department. Opper has preferred charges against Traffic Officer Lynch, who forced him to come back after he had made a turn at the corner in violation of the or- dinance, but the officials appear to have decided that Lynch was acting in strict accordance with his duties. Opper yesterday published a cartoon attacking the New Haven police.

 Ralph Pond, the University of Maine player secured by Dan O'Neil, played his first game and made good inn pression. He is a husky boy. Ralph got hit and pass out of four times up.
 Lou Litschi and Bob Stowe were getting away with the fancy stops. Anthing that went near them was squelched. At the bat they were also strong. Litschi had a triple, pass and sacrifice. Stowe got a single and was hit by an inshoot.
 When Litschi tripled in the second the ball rolled under an auto in left and a dog grabbed the pill Pop Nichols had a lively mixup with the dog trying to recover the sphere but under the ground rule Litschi got three bases anyway.
