AND ROSS
BOX A TAME DRAW
Heavyweights Go Ten Rounds
in Which Action Is Lacking i,
Until Last One.

NEW YORK. August Joe" jean
nette and Tony Ross fought ten-round
draw last night at the Twentieth Century
A c. in which there was nothing in the
boxing line to set the world on fire. Ross
was willing enough, but he did not know
as much about the STRAIT gy of the game
as his opponent. otherwise he might have
defeated the negro. Jeanette wore a
bandage around his right elbow, and
whether he was careful of his arm or II
was something else he did not fight any
where near in the style that has char
acterized his work in the past.
Many OF those who went to the fight ex-
pected the heavy negro to make a chop
ping block out OF the Pittsburg Italian.
but they were given quite a surprise.
Ross gave just as much as he received
and, II anything. looked to be the strong
er of the two. particularly In the clinches.
At first there were many who thought
that the negro was under wraps and play
ing with his rival and would eventually
let loose and finish him. Whatever the
case was, the negro's showing was by no
means impressive.
All in all the bout could hardly be called
fast one There was some real fighting
in the last round but up to that time
there was nothing on which to expend
any wild cheers. In the last round the
two Of them let loose and were willing tn
take some chance. The result was that
there were some stiff punches exchanged
and Ross was every bit as good as his
rival in this style. Before that the fight
was full OF clinches and infighting with
little to choose between them

OF the running for the pennant last year
At that time the Commissioners and Com
merce and Labor were fighting II out
neck-and-neck. with the odds in favor of
the Laborites. when Agriculture came
across and administered q beating to the
latter club which gave the Commissioners
an advantage that was never evened up.
1t probably proved the deciding factor in
hard blow to the Commerce team IL 1t
should lose the pennant again this year
under the same conditions.
1t is rather a remarkable coincidence
that the only two games that have been
dropped by the Cornell Company to the
Sewerage Pumping Station since the open
ing of the Capital City League were both
lost in the first week and a half Of the
year. The first two times that the two
clubs met the games resulted in victories
for the bumpers. but since that il has
been Cornell all the way, every other
contest having resulted in a decided vic
tory for that team.
The chances are that the Manhatta
club will win today's game with Kendall.

lucky to get away with the long end of
the score. being outhit, the bingles that
were registered against 1t not being quite
Of the timely variety that were those
made for it. 1t is not probable, though.
that either Knott or Mcmahon will sue
coed in keeping the Manhattan aggrega-
ton from getting hits and scoring runs,
and that about narrows down the propo-
sition as to whether the Manhattan twirI-
ers can keep the Kendall runs down to
minimum.
Whether Knott or Mcmahon will be
used against Manhattan Is a question.
The chances seem to favor Mcmahon. He
seems a little more steady In the box
than Knott and the Kendall players sup
port him better; then Mcmahon has the
advantage of having won from the Man
haitian aggregation once. II Engle does

A series of exhibition games VIII be
played in the District League after the
close of the regular season today. With
the game this afternoon between Column
bia. 1Ol. and Adams Express the regularly
scheduled league games will come to an
end. the postponed games having already
been played off on dates that were left
open especially for that purpose.
In the first of the exhibition games,
which will be played tomorrow. the
Ninth Street Christian Church will meet
the Aloysius club. The next game will
be played Friday between the Adams
team and a nine Of picked players from
the other clubs in the circuit.
1t is intended to continue the exhibition
games until time for the post-season Sc
ries to begin. mainly for the purpose of
keeping the Aloysius club in as good con-
dition as possible for the championship
series.

as the lead it now has is TOO great for
any of the clubs in that circuit to over

enough to beat the Hami1ne aggregation
out for the pennant. At present the
Hamline aggregation is but sins e game
ahead Of the Sherwood team, but that
nine has not shown consistent strength
during the year, il having spurted in
some of it's games and fallen down ignO-
miniously in others it has played
1t has been pointed out time and again
that. while on all sides the Commerce
and Labor team was being picked as hav-
ing the Departmental League pennant
secured, it would not be at all surpris-
ing to see il lose one of its postponed
games and thus be thrown out of the
championship. and that very state of
affairs has come to pass 1t seems that
the shoe is on the other foot now, and
the chances are with the Post Once
team. To win the pennant the Commerce

Hiett was the nifty kid with the bat for
Sherwood. This fleet footed outfielder
defeated the Methodists in the fifth inning
when he lifted a double to right center,
Porter and Patton scoring.
Martin Becker, brother Of Buck" was
selected to do the twirling for the Metho-

this promising youngster. He was sup
planted by Beach. The final tally was
made OF Beach in the sixth, when Bishop
misjudged Brauner's long drive to center
and the runner pulled up at the third
sack. Brauner counted on Rhodes single
to left.
There was a big crowd on hand to wit
ness the struggle. Hamhne took defeat
gamely. The Methodist boys never gave
up until the final out was registered. and
they left the field beaten but game
