Four Impressive Features.
There were four impressive features
OF this battle which must stand apart in
palldoms, history. One was oldriag's s
third: another was 'CrandalIs long two

er home and paved the way for De-
vores timely drive. tying 1t up.
But the two greatest were the great
nerve and gameness shown by Larry
Doyle after his costly misplay and the
fnal awakening of Giant rooters, who,
through soreness at the ticket specu,
lators and ticket handling. had refused
to stand back of their club; But yester-
day in, the seventh round they broke
loose and from that point on Jack
Coombs began to fade and falter and
lose his stride. These cheers came az
against defeat, and they worked with
wonderful effect. They continued even
through the eighth and into the ninth.

This lone drive tutred a, quick finish
into another hard championship, while
netting $4,000 more at least for the two
club owners. Forty thousand dollars a
hit-no wonder they are scarce just now.
