and Should Have No Kick if Beaten. ]

Andre Perchicot, the champion of
France, and Frank Kramer, the
champion of the world, are ready and
fit for their match, which will be
the star bout on the program at the
Nelodrome tonight.
The confident Frenchman is the
best man Kramer has been matched
with this season, and the "champer''
will have to be at his best to win.
Perchicot electrified the big crowd at
the Velodrome with his great burst
of speed in the worlds championship
revenge Sunday, and there are many
of the Yankees most ardent support
ers who fear this battling. fearless
Frenchman in the match tonight.
The students of cycle racing figure
this foreign star has a better chance
to lick the marvel" than any rider
he has met this year. But they all
look good until the apparently irwin
chile Kramer gets them alone in a
match race. 1t is then that he puts
over the knockout punch that sends
the ambitious ones to the scrap heap.
Touting live ones to beat Kramer has
become a discouraging business, and
the 'champer' will go to the post
the usual favorite in this match.
Perchicot has shown an improve
ment in form with every additional
day here. and he will go to the post
in better shape tonight than at any
time since he has been in America.

BURMAN CREATES
NEW AUTO RECORD

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Sept. lin
an attempt both desperate and dan
gerous, Bob Burman, who helu a
seven-event automobile racing pro-
gram on the Allentown course yes
terday afternoon, broke the worlds
record for a mile on a half-mile circu-
lar dirt track, made here by Barney
Oldfeld two years ago, today.
On his first attempt, flying start,
he failed, making the mile in only
1903 2-5, but on the second attempt
was successful, covering the mile In
1907 2-5.
Burman retained the Remy grand
brassard, three miles, and the w. b.
trophy, five miles, in competing with
Joe Horan, Henry Hickman and Har-
vey Ringler, although he lost the first
heat of the brassard race to Hick-
man. The 3.4S of the final heat made
/ new worlds record.
Ringler won the five-mile 600-inch
piston race from Burman, Horan and
Hickman, in 1922.
The best race of the day was the
A-ee-for-all handicap, in which Bur-
ma from the scratch covered five
miles in 6:10, passing Cutting, who
had a handicap of a minute, and
Ringler, who had a start of 20 sec

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 11.-With
everything in their favor. including a
three-game lead over their rivals.
which amounts to twenty-one points
in the standing of the clubs, the
Tigers were scheduled to tackle the
Baltimore Orioles today in the final
fight to decide on the third place
rung in the International League.
Unless an earthquake or a complete
form reversal overtakes McGinnity's
men, the Bengals have third place
cinched right now. They need
to win only one game out OF
four at Baltimore to return home
on Sunday in third place to bat
tie with the Birds in Newark.
In fact, if the Tigers get only an wen
break on their remaining twelve
games-eight with Baltimore and four
with Jersey City-the prospects for
Newark finishing on No 3 peg are
practically certain, because Baltimore
in the meantime would be compelled
to capture something like nine games
out of twelve to tie the Tigers.
Joe McGinnity's boys, however.
figure on getting better than an even
break on their remaining twelve
games, ven though six of them will
be staged away from home. The
worst Newark's most pessimistic
rooteKs look for is eve out of those
twelve tussles. Baltimore will have
chance If the Orioles can take six
out of the eight games they have to
play with the Tigers.

the Grays. Joe McGinnity was able
to save Cy Barger for today, and if

George Bell.
Joe McGlnnity is set on winning the
first game in order to get the jump
on the orioles, and naturally is a bit
doubtful about taking a chance on
Bell. whose arm seems to be all right

When Barger is ready to work it

few runs Cy will take the measure
of any club in the league. 1t is too

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Eight riders

DOUGLASS POOR
BOUT WITH HOWARD

Jeff Smith, of Bayonne, n about
six more seconds handled Ben Doug
lass at the Eleventh Ward Athletic
Club last night, out with all these the
local welterweight put up the poorest
exhibition of fighting in his career
against Johnny Howard, of Bayonne,
in what was announced as the main
six-round bout. Douglass simply
wouldn't fight. Scarcely once during
the eighteen minutes of action did
Ben land a blow. Howard also held
back. but in the final round he let out.
The Bayonneite was content to jab
the local mans face. n crowd was
sorely disappointed on leaving the
open-air arena.
The preliminaries furnished some
lively boxing. Young Goldman, of
this city, and Young Reilly, of Or
ange, mixed 1t for four rounds evenly.
The latter had the suburbantte in
height by nearly a head. but Reilly
forced matters.
Kid Gross, of Philadelphia, and Kid
williams, of Harlem, two negroes,
put up a lively session for a round
and a half, when the latter had
enough and quit.
Dummy Jones knew nothing about
the art of the game and lasted two
rounds with Bobby Howard, of Mill
waukee. The latter outweighed his
opponent considerably, however.
Battling Jimmy took a terrific lac
ing from Young Wantick, of Passaic,
in the fourth round of their bout, and
with but a minute to go was sent TO
the floor in a helpless condition.
Jim Finney won from Young Hun
ter in foul rounds. II resembled a
love match between two darkies,
rather than a boxing exhibition.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-When Abe
Attell gets into the ring in Madison
Square Garden on Friday night for
his bout with Harry Thomas the
former featherweight champion is
likely to meet with a surprise, ac-
cording to some of the good judges of
Thomas's class down at Felix Bend,
Staten Island, where the little Briton
is in training under the watchful eye
of Jimmy johnson.
A different method has been
adopted by Attell in his training, for
it is his one ambition to regain the
featherweight title rom Johnny Kill
bane. While in the West he built
himself up, and this will give him a
chance to train down and still keep
his strength. For years he was fight
ing around 122 pounds or less, and in
staying at that low notch he often
taxed his vitality. Attell, who will
weigh 126 pounds at 6 o'clock, has
moved his training quarters to Rye
Beach.
The other ten-round bout will bring
together Kid Alberts, of Elizabeth,
and Ed Brock, of California. Brock
came East with Attell.
One of the six-round bouts will be
between Irish Mahon. of Newark, and
Young McGovern.

in Last Bout.

bad Newark did not obtain his serv-
ices earlier in the season.
The Bengals have the throttle wide
open just now; their victory over the
Grays yesterday was heir fourth o n
esecutive win. Newark's diamond
g~ladiators have captured twelve OF
the fifteen t~ussles, which is surely
travelling at a championship gait al
this stage of the season. The winning
squirt was started at Montreal, where
the Tigers won two games. At Roch-
ester the Bengals cleaned up three
straight, then followed four games
with Provideice, in which the Bengals
got an even break; a double-header
with Jersey City was also split up.
In the recent series with the Grays
Newark captured four battles in a
row.
How the Game Was Won.
With the aggressive work of the
team yesterday any pitcher could
have won his game. The Bengals
bumped the bulb fifteen times for
safeties, including four doubles. Five
runs were manufactured in the OPEN
ing round. when Tooley, Collins. Gag
nier and Eddie Zimmerman singled
and w. Zimmerman and Swacina
doubled.
Gaskell had a hard time in the sec
ond, when six s6feties, all singles, and
Tooley's error boosted the Grays'
tally within one point of the New
arks' five-run lead. Slime, who has
usually been a puzzle to Newark, was
knocked out of the park in the very
first round, and Bailey got along all
right until the seventh. Then Tooley
led another charge with a single.
Bernard duplicated, Swacina doubled
and Billy Zimmerman's second hit en-
abled Newark to accumulate three
more runs. Plates single, Lathers's
triple and an infield out pushed two
Grays around in the eighth, In New
ark's half hits by Gaskell, Collins and
Bernard added another pair of runs
while the Grays had four more sin
giles in their portion of the ninth,
scoring twice more. Dent was called
on to relieve Gaskell, who was weak
ening, and Eft stopped the Grays' on
rush with the score 1913.
