Bike Championships Are
Fast Approaching the End

All of the American cycling cham
p%ionships are to be decided before
the worlds championships are run at
the Velodrome, August 25 and % and
September l., This is in accordance
with the ruling of the International
Cyclist' Union, the body that con-
trolls the running of the worlds
championships. The championships
in the various countries of Europe are
decided before the worlds title races
and all the foreign riders who will
be Sent here will be champions of
the nations represented. The big
meet will be a meeting of champions.
1t is an easy matter to select the
winners of the amateur and profess
sional sprint championships of Amer
lea, but the paced championship IS
still in doubt. George Wiley had a
big lead for the middle-distance hon.
ors a short time age, but Clarence
Carmen has cut this down materially
by his great riding of late. The
struggle for the paced championship
will not end until three days before
the worlds championships. If the
game Carmen can continue to ride as
ne has been riding, he may wrest
from Wiley the honors he has striven

BUFFALO HAS
EDGE ON The
BENGAL TRIBE
BY Taking Last Game on
Tigers Grounds, Stall
lings's Team Has Won
Ten Out of Nineteen
Battles from NewarkS.

The curtain rang down on h Buff
falo series for the season on the local
lair yesterday with the Bisons the
winners.
BY a strange trick of fate the T1g-
ers were beaten yesterday in an ex-
ira inning game while the Newark
team conquered the Herd here IN the
opening contests of the season in an
overtime conflict. Manager stall
ings's teams victory over the Bengal
bunch yesterday gives the Bisons the
jump on the seasons series
these two teams. Buffalo mas won
ten games and Newark has captured
nine of the nineteen games played
between the Bengals and the Bisons.
Three of those contests were extra
inning games.
The Tigers still have a chance 10
beat out the Bisons on the seasons
series, as three more games are to
be played between these two teams
at~Buffalo in order to complete the
string of twenty-five contests.
Yesterdays game was lost in tnir-
teen innings by a score OF 4 runs
to /. The Tigers took the opening
contests here in ten innings from
Buffalo by "a Sd total. Beebe was
the victim in hat game and yester-
day he was the victor.
Today the triple champions from
Rochester lay siege to our city. Since
their last appearance here the horti-
c~ulturists from the Flower City have
added an almost entirely new pitch
ing staff. Pitcher Quinn, late of the
Yanks: Bobby Keefe,~a n time a
Royal. obtained from Cincinnati, and
Pitcher Upham, al Yankee recruit,
are all on Cancels staff
within the last fortnight. When
Camel saw his team slipping ne
strengthened considerably. but Joe
McGinnity has no fears of any OF
the Hustler fingers and is ready Tor
the battle today with Hughes as MS
most likely opponent.
Dent and Beebe had a great pitch
ing duel for seven innings yesterday
in the final of the Buffalo-Newark
series which vas an even break, eacn
team getting two games.
For seven rounds Beebe allowed n
scratch hit by Smith, while the Hero
got a run in the fifth on a pass, a
sacrifice, Schirm's infield hit to Hart
man and a ielder's choice. Collins,
BERNARD and Swacina tied it up on
clean singles with two out in the
eighth. but the Newarkers stopped
there. Lee held the visitors until the
thirteenth and Beebe was just as IN
vincible. Hartman straddled Deinin-
gers sharp grounder to start the thir-
teenth, a sacrifice. a pass M a sim
gle by Bues, followed by Stark's dou-
Bile, netted three runs for Buffalo n

JOHNSON MAY YET
BOX FOR MINTOSH

e..
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Alderman Al
Tearney last night said that Jack
johnson had agreed to fight Sam
. Langford and Sam McVey IN Aus
traIia under certain conditions. as yet
not complied with by Promoter w.
H Mcintosh.
Johnson told representatives Of
Mcintosh that their offer of $4,000
for fights with Langford and McVey
would be acceptable to him, provided
he were given $4,000 for training ex-
penses and three round-trip tickets to
Australia, and provided that $4,000
were deposited with me-" Tearney
said. He chose me as stakeholder
because / had guided him in business
investments. l have no connection
with promoting the fights other than
that of stakeholder.
After johnson had issued his ulti-
matum, McIntosh's representatives
came to me for references. That is
the last l heard of the proposition"
johnson refused to affirm the report
that he would %re-enter the ring. He
said he would fight if it would be a
personal favor to Tearney."

TOMMY BURNS SHOWS
OLD-TlME FORM IN RING

SASKATOON. Sask.. Aug. 9.-Tom-
my Burns. one-time champion heavy
weight pugilist, showed some of his
old form here last night when. in
the sixth round of a scheduled ff-
teen-round bout with Bill Richards he
hoored the latter twice and was
awarded the decision after the sheriff
had stopped the fight.
Burns apparently had played with
his man until the sixth round. when
he went In to finish him. In this
session Richard was knocked down
once for the count of nine and again
for the count of eight. At this point
the sheriff interfered. Burns weighed
1856 pounds and Richard 205.

SPORTS
DRAFTS AND RECALLS
WILL SKATER TIGERS
Several Men on the Club Much in Demand
by Major Leaguers--SWacina and Billy
Zimmerman Among Those Sought.


About this time every season the
major ieaguers are batting their
hooks and preparing for the big haul
when the drafting season opens. less
a month away. This leads to
the speculation as to whom the Tig-
ers will lose by draft this fall. In
dications are that several of the To-
cal players are eligible for draft, but
the most likely man to be lost by
the process is Harry Swacina. 1t is
rumored that Manager Jimmy Gala
han has had secret sleuths watching
Swacina's work while the team was
abroad and that the Chicago Ameri-
can League Club is likely to put in
a draft for the heavy hitting first
baseman. Newark is by no means
anxious to lose so capable a first
sacker as Swacina for the draft price,
even though 1t has been increased
to $500 this season for Glass IA
league clubs.
This upward revision means that
there will be fewer players taken
from the International League clubs
by draft than ever before.
SWacfna is a sure enough major
league first baseman. His hitting
alone would more han qualify him
for that select company and his field
ing is all that could be desired. Those
who were prejudiced against him in
the spring and remarked with wry
faces that Swacina was no Agler
have had cause to alter their opin-
ions somewhat. for Harry, instead of
losing games by his fielding, has won
contests by clever work at first base
He saved one game at Baltimore
by leaping high in the air and pulled
down a vicious line crack from Get
mans bat, with Gaskell pitching,
enabling Newark to win / to 0. AT
other times his ability to stretch and
leap for high and wide throws has
saved many errors, and his batting
has been more consistent than any
other Tigers. He has by far driven
in more runs than any of his tea1s,-
mates and>has worked harder
in his life to win games and gain the

champion expects to win this second
race. He claims that he was severe
ly handicapped on of the cool
weather and will be far better if 1t
is hot and sultry Sunday. Friol never
competed at night until he came to
America and he claims that the cool
night air stiffens his legs, which re-
duces his speed to a large extent.
In justice to the foreigner it must
be admitted that he did not show
the speed that he displayed in his
match with Grenda.
Big Program for Sunday.
A big program of races is sched-
uled for Sunday. In addition to the
Kramer-Frio1 match and the amateur
championship there will be a two-mile
tandem race for the pros, a race
of "all nations" in which one rider
from each of six countries will be
represented, a three-mile amateur
handicap. one mile novice and-a five
mile paced race in heats. The riders
in the paced race are Clarence Car

recognition he deserves by obtaining
a major league berth.
Collins's Recommendation.
Bill Colline. who processes t know
something about baseball playerr,
claims that Swacina covers more
ground than Agler evG did, but his
work is less noticeable, because he is
not so fashy. The National League
just o is blessed with capable first
basemen. Daubert. Konetchy. Lu-
derus. Hoblitzel, Merkle. Safer, Mill
er and Hasuer are a most capable
bunch of initial sackers. In the
American League, however, there is
more room for a newcomer. Del Gain
or, it is said, will never be able to
show the form he did before meeting
with injuries and a streak of har1
luck. Cleveland Is also looking for
a good man. Swacina has batted
close TO the 300 mark all season and
his hits invariably come in the
pinches.
Kirkpatrick and Higgins are, Of
course, the property of the Brcoklyn
Club and will revert to the Infants.
Billy Zimmerman is also mentioned
as a Superba possibility. Zimmerman
with his speed and consistent hitting
comes as close to filling the bill as
any man Brooklyn can find to fit In
with Moran and Wheat, who r lsst-
handed hitters. Brooklyn has been
searching for a right-handed bats
man all summer. and Billy thinner
man may get a trial with the In
fants.
Manager Joe McGinnity turned
down an offer from the st. Louis Club
of the American League for Lew Nc
Carly a month ago, and it would be
no surprise If the Browns tried to get
Lew by draft. Collins is also men
toned as a possibility for fast COM
pany next year, as well as Pitchers
