lsh any records, but st-pped at several
places for visits with friends and rela-
tiyes and for sightseeing. They left Los
Angeles on June and arrived In New
York on July 2. OF this time they spent
seventeen days on the road.
I'VE followed the southern route as
far as St. Louis" said Dr. Crow ana
then branched north to Chicago, as we
wanted TO visit the Pierce factory at
Buffalo for "A day We thought we couId
do this more easily by going there on
our way East than by going direct to
New York and then touring back

This must not be taken TO mean that
there arc no good roads on the southern

tween Rice and Springcrvlllc. Ariz,
there is three miles OF road that is

Mr. Faulkner and I were inexperienced

New York Boy Nearly Put Out

the ten rounds he hit Smith flush on the
Jaw full fifty times, but lie failed to
score a knockdown, and there was never
Il minute when the East Side lad was not
strong.
A blunder by one Of Smiths seconds
was the cause of his almost being forced
to quit the ring in the eighth round.
Eddie came TO his corner. and by way OF
helping him his second gave him smelling

TIMELY BITS OF SPORT
Cubs Preparing Many AIibis in
Case Giants Win pennant.
MURPHY AND CHANCE TALK
Roger Bresnahan's Connection
with World. Wide Tour Sur
prises Chicago Owner.

In spite o! the fact that the Chicago
Cubs are gradually encroaching on the
preserves OF the Giants, the Windy City
crew apparently is not any too confident
Of ultimate victory, II the output of the
alibi factory yesterday can be taken as
a reflection of their feelings. Frank
Chance first comes out with statement
in Boston that the suspension of Evers
for five days for an alteration with Fin
neran I'm the game on Saturday Is nothing
more than a scheme to assist the Giants
to the remnant. Then arises Charlie
Murphy In Chicago and intimates that
the st. Louis Cardinals are going to as
sist the New York team to the gonfalon
because Roger Bresnahan has been men
toned as a participation In the world
wide tour Of the champions after the sea-
son closes.
Murphy assumes that the Giants will
not take the trip unless they win the
pennant, but McGraw has already stated
that the trip will be taken whether the
team wins or loses. BY winning two out
Of three In the present series the Cardi-
nails have not shown much Of an in
clination to help the Giants. BY and
large the developments yesterday point
to perfectly good alibi for the Cubs in
case they do not overcome the lead Of
the champions, which they are not likely
TO do
Murphy's statement declaring that the
Giants will not win the flag >"without
undue assistance from other teams" fol-
lows:
Il am surprised TO see Bresnahan S
name connected with such an enterprise
as the tour OF the Giants 1t looked at
first like a simple and harmless plan to
pick up n little easy money. and so Tar
as I know. there had been no opposition
TO IL. But when they incorporate becom-
ing a stock selling possibility, and use
the name of such men as Bresnahan-
manager Of a team that can help US or
hurt us a whole lot in the present PEN
nant race-the matter takes an entirely
different aspect
AS matter Of fact. the Giants haven't
won the race, and / don't think they will
win II without the undue assistance from
other teams. / want TO see the Cardinals
play the game against the Giants, and
play it right up to the hilt. l can hardly
believe that Bresnahan would allow him
self to be drawn into financial scheme
whose success might depend entirely on
his own team losing and a rival team
winning II IS contrary to all traditions
Of baseball The race in the National
League must be run out strictly on its
merits. Not even suspicion can be
permitted To creep into the situation right
now"
