.FOOTWORk OF FIGHTERS
 IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT

'Fwhat is the most important deveI- opnaert of the boxing game in recent years?" inquired the. Old Sport. Then. as is his custom, he answered his own question. "F'ootwork. Yes, sir. It is only of late years that boxers have come to understand that they must learn to fight with their feet as well as with their hands and their heads. Jim Corbett won the heavyweight championship of the world with his pedal extremities. Paciey Mcfarland is another scrapper who owes his fame in considerable part to his feet. Abe Attell was the cleverest chap with his hands and mouth and head that ever entered a ring, but he was weak in footwork. That is why he is now writing ex- in front of his title. If Atteli had been as swift on his props as he is in every other way Kilbane could never have got to him. Little Able never could get away from a rushing he couldn't get out of harms way long enough to recover his wits
 Among the old timers who won titles with their feet. besides Jim Corhett, were Kid Mccoy, Joe Cans, Mystcr- ious Billy Smith, Frank Erne, Jack McAuliffe and Tommy Ryan, Young Griffo, the Australian lighter. had them all outclassed when it came to footwork. however.

SORE THUMB
 GAVE BECKER
 CHANGE TO STAR

As a general proposition a felon is a no-account sort of an affliction and justly unpopular among ball players. Yet it took felon on one of Fred tfonal League just about the most sensational outfielder introduced to that circuit this season.
 Understand us rightly. We do not mean that ne wouldn't have come through anyhow, but as matters stand Reals Becker owes his present peE- terfelder to the little stranger that kept Merkle on the bench for four weeks or so.
 Becker has been hanging around for several years. breaking in now and then. but never lasting long with the fans. On the Giants arst western trip he was inserted into right field, vice Josh Devore. whose hitting at that time amounted to next to nothing, and hit some thing like 500 Tn the five games against the Reds. ] But after the team returned to the again and Becker lost his occupation. Then Merkle boHbbed up with his felon. Snodgrass was brought in to play first base and Becker again got his name into the box score every day. It would take the combined efforts of d pRunQ or two or dynamite ana one Of his own Kansas cyclones to pfy him loose from his job now.
 Aside from fielding his position as few Giant outfielders have since the worlds championship days of 1905, Becker is hitting hard enough to make him notable figure even on a club batting .306 as a team. According to unofficial averages the Wichita del- egate Is giving daily nourishment to an average that already reaches .34s.
 Though he has appeared in fewer games-46. up to yesterday, to be ex- ant as against S6 In which Murray has cipated-Becker has stolen the same number of bases as Murray. Each has grabbed 19 bases, to which neith- CT had any particular claim other than that given them by speed and daring.
 Becker is probably the best fielding outfialder in McGraW's stable He ham, Gles fly balls quite as well as Murray and is rather more reliable on ground CTS, the only comparatively weak spot in Murray's makeup. He has hab- it, like Murray, of raking down those long drives that ought, by all the rules and regulations. to go for two or more bases. A better man to come

SNYDER HAS
 INDIAN SIGN
 ON NEW HAVEN
(By wagner)

They put the shutters up early at George. Cameron's Seaview hotel last night and the goats that browse in on bread and water by orders of Man ager Jerry Cornell of the New Haven club.
 Jerry said his goat was lost after that game at Newfleld yesterday when New Haven went to the mat before Bridgeport by to 1. Quite a bunch of New Haven rooters were~ on hand to cheer their favorites but the local talent supplied most of the noise. John Slam-the-do0r couldn't get off from the shop but Mawruss the Boy
 Rooter went in as a pinch hitter and his voice was never better. He went
 right down the line and with beau

 Chief Snyder was in there pitching

 four passes. all of which got him lpN 1 to trouble, but he was sttngy with the hits. He gave the visitors seven scat tered raps.
 Slim Foster, who came to town with record of eight wins and no de- feats. was treated like a stepson by
 our home talent. They counbed him
 for nine wallops, most of which were distinguished himself by getting three
 raps and Baker was the timely kid with a two hagger and two singles. He scored once himself and drove in two others. Crook, Stow and Spratt were
 the shining lights in the field. Tom

 bases filled and two out, Dashback pounded one down the first base line. 1t resembled two-bagger but Crook made a dive and when he arose from the dust he had the ball in his glove.

However, people No not anticipate knockout every time they scramble to the. scratch. Gibbons, with his unquestioned abil- ity, is handicapped because the pub- lie does expect him to do that.

OPEN MONDAY EVENING TILL SATURDAY TILL 10 P. M.

JIM STEWART
 BEATS STORBECK

Fred Storbeck, who. halls from way down South Africa, made his Afaari- can bow in New York last night. and was stopped by numbering Jim Stew art, af Brooklyn, in six rounds.
 Frederick twill not do as a white hope He had absolutely no defense and only once or twice did he show that he had even punch. He rocked Stewart at times with stiff right cross.
 O'Rourke. stockbeck's manager, af.. ter the fight claimed that sterbeck was in bad shape, the heat having af- fected him for the last four days.
 Storbeck walked out and began 8 willing attack on the portfy person of Jim in the first round. He backed Stewart all over the ring. The later was pleased to take his time, and picked out weak spots in the Island er's defense.
 Storhack tried to land just one in the fourth and turabled again to the floor. Stewart tried to land the farce. but Storbeck ducked the issue so well that he was on hand when the ben tolled the fifth. Tn this round he bowled into Stewart and the crowd began to take a shine to Fred He gave Stewart a stiff argument and went to the floor from weariness at least three times. The bell saved him.
 The lone stranger make weak stand in the sixth. The comedy came to sudden end in this round when Tom O'Rourke tossed q soggy sponge into the centre of the pit after Fred die had the worse of two minutes of slam banging.

ST. LOUIS

 TO MALCOLM

Scout Kinsella' of the St. Louis Na- tioaals had a talk with brother Of Jason M. Malcolm, the Bridgeport pitcher, who has made so fine a show ing on the University of Vermont team this season, and he made an of- fer to have Jason join the St. Louis team at a pretty good salary, but 1t was turned down. Malcolm has been in Bridgeport for some time past rest ing up,l
 He caught cold in his chueling arm and he decided to give the wing a rest and not ovsrwork it when it was not in shape. The young fellow is looked upon as one of the best college pitchers in the country and his many friends in this city would like to see him in the big show Probably he will change his mind later and if he does he stands an excellent chance of making good, for his work this season on the diamond has been the talk of the college world, Mayforth of Spring

 Many college fans remember the stiff argument Malcolm gave the Yale nine in which he allowed but one hit, losing his game due to wild pitch.

NOT
 TO BOX AGAIN IN LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles. July 9.--Notwithstand- ing the local currency of positive dec larations that Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers had been matched for return fight, Wolgast asserted late last night that no match had been made and moreover that he had not even been approached in reference to- the. pro- josed fight with Rivers on Labor Day. Wolgast said he would entertain a proposal from Rivers, but he intimat- ed that he might refuse to fight again in Los Angeles, because of the misun- derstanding that had arisen with T. J. McCarey, the local promoter. fol- lowing the fight July 4.
 Wolgast and McCarey had & violent controversy over the championship belt McCarey has decided not to award it to Wolgast. and Ad went down yesterday to find out why not.
 Whose belt is this?" demanded Mo- Carey. "nt's mine, isn't dt? ran give it to any one choose, can t I? Well, have decided not to give 1t to you on the showing made in this fight"
 The Wolgast- Rivers contest praeti- caliy wiped the slate in Los Angeles For the first time in many months there is not a fight on the schedule here, and there are no immediate prospects of new matches being made.

 Joe JeannAtte to articles of agree nent for q ten round bout with Jack Johnson, provided the champion will light here. Gibson denied report that the Garden A. c. had offered g purse for fight between Johnson and Al PaIzer. saying that such bout would kill the boxing game in the State of New York.
 Gibson said, in his opinion, Palzer would be no match for Johnson, neith- CT would Luther MeCarty nor any of the other present day white hopes. He also said that under no circum- stances would the Garden A. c. per init Johnson to fight white man in the Garden. but in view of the fact that Jeannette had more than held his own with Johnson on four occa- sions, Gibson is prepared to offer a chance for Johnson to show his skill in ae New York ring. Gibson will wire for Johnson's terms today,
 Here is chance for Johnson to show that he isn't afraid of Jean- nette.' said Gil,son. "Jeannette and Sam Langford are about even in ahll- ity, but 1t Is known that Johnson wants no part of Langford. Instead of beating third raters like Flynn, Johnson can prove he is real cham pion by disposing of Jeannette in the Garden"

HOEY QUITS
 AS MANAGER
 OF WATERBURY

It looks like the beginning of the end for Owner Jim Murphy of the Waterbury team. Instead of grow ing better under new surroundings and uns1r the name of Waterbury, the te&m became worse. To cap 1t all Jack Hoey has rendered his res- ignation as manager of the team and the last hope of the fans has gone a glimmering. Owner Murphy Is los- ing money, there can be no doubt about that, and it does look as though the other managers are throw ing the hooks into him.
 How long Jim Murphy will con- tinue to pay out his coin is a mat ter that he alone can settle. Cer- tain it is that the team as at pres- ent constituted. or as 1t is playing now, will not attract enough to pay expenses.

The fact that the New Workers are all broken up makes the Tigers even more con- ddent.
 getting back into the fray. Simmons the second baeeman, rsturned SRtur- day and was q big help. to the team although 1t did lose. Hack is a good batter as we'll as a fair second base- man He now has that position all to himself, for Eari Gardner has been sold to ths Cleveland Blues. The news of Gardner's release was sort of a sur prise to his teammates for he is natural hitter and a good inffeader.

It will be some time before Hal will be able to get back. His ankle Is badly sprain- ed and 1t takes time for it to regain US natural strength.
 Of all the youngsters with the Highland brigade the youngster Ster- rett, the former Princeton star, looks the best. gterrett already has made quite & record for college player inasmueh as he has covered three po- sitions in his debut year in the ma jpr league ranks. which probably es- tablishes precedent Sterrett's regu- lar position Is a catcher and besides being behind the bat for the Yan- kees he has covered first as we'll as second. The outfield is not new to him hue he hasn't played any of the garden positions with the Yankees yet.
 Another likely looking colaegian is Down, who halls from the University of Vermont Down broke into the major ranks under the name O'Dowd. but the youngster says his name IS Down. He is g. gingery player and like stuffy McInness of the. Athletics in the respect that he's always got words Of encouragerne for the man working in the box.
