PICK MATTY
 TO BEAT CUBS
 IN TODAY'S GAME

Chicago, Aug. s17-It was conceded, today, that Christy Mathewson would be McGraws choice for slab work in the final game of the Cubs Giants ser ies, this afternoon. The crafty New York boss pitched a winner, yesterday, when he sent Tesreau to the box and it was admitted, today that Chance was up against it" in the matter of twirlers
 Chance, it was said. feared to work Richie again but might be compelled to use the lurid one Rumor also had it that Toney the come back from Louisville who was effective against the Giants, last season and who show ed class in the final frames, yesterday might work.
 Doe Simmons, the Cubs trainer, put in a strenuous night doctoring Jimmy Archer and Tom Needham. The former was in a pitiful condition. yesterday, with a cracked wrist and game knee and unless the Doe has been able to patch him up probably he won't work.

NEW HAVEN BOY
 GOES TO DETROIT
Bert Clauss, Who Starred With Elm City Semi Pros,
 Signed by Jennings

Jackson, Mich, Aug. 17.-It was announced here yesterday that Bert Clauss, the sensational young pitcher of the local club of the South Michi- gan league, Mas been purchased by the Detroit club -.of the American league. Clauss will report at the end of the season to Manager Jennings.
 ClAuss came here at the beginning of the season from Saginaw. He pitched for the latter club last sea- son. His home is in New Haven. Conn, where he made fame as a twirler in the amateur ranks there. The work of Clauss has been a fea~ ture of the league season. On com ing here, Clauss was as wild as a hawk, having no control at all, but he has gained control since his so- journ under the local management.
 Clauss is a southpaw twirIer and was sent to Saginaw last season upon recommendation of Owner George M Cameron of the New Haven club ot the Connecticut league.

CORBETT'S WEEKLY
 BOXING REVIEW
M'CARTY AND WILLARD HAVE LOT
 TO LEARN ABOUT FIGHTING CAME

spell there has been no Yet up in pat ronage. Having killed off the more important of their rivals it was thought the two big institutions would De content to run along in peace and harmony and work in the inter este of the sport as chaper oned by the boxing commission. .But.I suppose. like mon- opolies in other lines, neither will be satisfied until it has swallowed it's rival or killed the game in the at tempt to hog everything.
 Now that Tommy Burns hes made good in his first start after the long lay-off we may expect to get many an ear full of news of the plans of the one-tirne champion. Tommy was al- ways good press agent and hard to beat at the promotion game.
 The reports of his victory over Joe Richards suggest that Burns may have recovered his old form and I sim cere1y hope SO With Thomas back in the ring the heavyweight game will pork up a bit. He sure was always ready and willing to fight at the drop of the. hat in the old days; that is, before the champion thing began to bring in the ducats so abundantly. The only man he ever avoided at all, and that only until he got his price, was the present champion, Jack Johnson.
 IL IS not generally known Johnson had to spend several days in the hos pital after boxing Burns three years ago. I had it direct from Hugh Mo Intosh, the promoter of the battle, and William F. Corbett, the leading fistic authority of Australia, when these gentlemen were in this country to witness the Johnson -Jeffries con- test, that Jack was in bad shape af- ter Burns had finished with him. Tn spite of the fact that Tommy was the loser, he was none the worse for the affair the next day, while Johnson was badly mussed colored person.
 BurnG is a wonderfully clever fight CT for one of his build. Only 5 feet { inches in height. he was always ham, dicapped every time he started in the heavg-weight division. Marvin Hart was the first really big man of prom thence he tackled. and Tommy enter ed the ring anything but a favorfte inps the betting In fact the match was regarded so one-eided that the attendance was very slim. Burns surprised the fans by the easy man ner he outpointed his much heavier antagonist. and following this ur shortly afterwards with a victory over Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, then light weight champion, his, reputation as a fighter of class was established.

F0GEL ANGRY
 AT ATTEMPT TO
 GET OTTO KNABE

Pittsburg, Aug. 1-President Hor- ace Fogel of the Phillies is angry at Garry Hermann because the Cincin- nati owner has been talking of get ting Otto Knabe in trade. FegeI said last night:
 TT wrote to Hermann today and told him to keep off my team and if he has any deals to make to ar range them with me and, not try to have. couple of Cincinnati news paper men do the dealing. Herr mann broke up Chicago last summer by sending out reports that he was going to get either Evers or Tinker. Both players are ambitious and each expected to land as manager of the Reds. The result is both shirked after being disapp pointed.
 Now the false reports are going out about Knabe. I don't think fl will affect his playing, but you never can tell. At the league meeting last winter there was a long discussion of this very thing and it was made very plain that these false statements of offers for certain players work injury to the team and to the whole league There is nothing. in this talk about Hermann getting Knabe.''

WALTER CAMP, JR. NOW IN HOSPITAL Yale Football Star In Bad Shape As Result of Ner-
 vous Trouble
(New Haven Journal-courier.)


 Walter Camp, Jr., star halfback of the Yale football team of 1911, has been confined in the New Haven hos pital since his return day or two ago from an extended stay with the former noted football end, Tom Shev- lin, at his place, Lake Minnetonka, Minn,
 <. When MT. Camp left here at the close of the university he was in a rather broken down condition after the arduous team work of the sea son, and it was believed that the life in the northern lumber camp would build him up, but his condition was not such that the strenuous life of such a camp would benefit it. He was considerably under weight and spent the six weeks he was with Shev- lin, in trying to put on flesh.
 1t is presumed that a recurrance of the nervous trouble with which he was affected caused his removal to the hospital. where he is the private patient of pr. Raynham Townsend. The hospital authorities could not tell last night just how serious his case was, but said he was very comfort able

M'GINNITY CAN STILL WIN THOSE BIG
 DOUBLE HEADERS

Pitching two winning games in a single afternon is nothing new as far as Iron Man McGinnity Of the New arks is concerned He has performed mat stunt on numerous occasions If McGinnity had strength enough he the other boxmen go. The Iron Man IS batting hard with adversely as chief owner of the Newark club He unloaded 8 third interest last year but the club, so the story goes, has made no money this season. In fact at one that the minority stockholders were alarmed. McGinnity, however, has been fighting uphill and with charac- terlstic pluck he believes that the Newark club Nill make some money. It was IA years ago that Ebbets of the Brooklyn club was tipped off that a wonderful pitcher named McGin- nifty was setting the world on fire down in Indian Territory. Ebbets signed the Iron Man and under Ned Hanlon's management McGinnity help ed the Brooklyns to win two pennants in the National League.
 The great pitcher finally drifted to Baltimore where he played under Mo Graw in the American League, after which MeGraw, who had signed with the Giants, brought him along. In a New York uniform McGinnity was a huge success. He aided the Giants in capturing the worlds champion ship in 1905. But several years after he concluded that Joe was on the down grade.
 He was released at his own request and purchased an interest in the New ark club. To-day the Iron Man is president. manager and star pitcher. His relatives are all employed by him i; one is the groundkeeper, another sells score cards, while in the box office and on the turnstiles the McGnnity family is well represented. In short the Iron Man is making his presence felt in New Jerseys biggest city.

BUCK VENABLE
 WINS GAME BY TIMELY HITTING
(By Wagner.)

Sit back in your chairs and listen
 to a few words of praise for Buck
 Venable, the man with the puncn
 This old boy may not be the most
 graceful fielder in the business but
 he is there in a critical situation. A
 man who can deliver the knockout
 blow on the enemy's jaw is more
 valuable than the lads who pull the
 circus stuff when there is nobody on
 the paths and then fall down in a pinch All Venable did yesterday was to drive in two of ABridgeport's three
 runs and make stop which cut off a New Haven tally. And if. 1t hadn't been for Venable the Mechanics
 would never have beaten New Haven
 by to in ninth inning rally. The Mechanics gave the most thrill ing exhibition of how to throw away the game that has been staged here
 this season. Crook had two misplays and in the ninth two pop flies drop ped back of shortStop because of misunderstanding between Spratt and Snyder. Both balls should have been taken by Spratt but nobody yelled for
 the shortstop to get under the sphere.
 In face of indifferent support
 Freddy Gibbs twfrled a fancy article. In the first three rounds his work was poor but he kept plodding along
 and grew better as the battle pro- gressed. He allowed nine hits, famed five and passed two.
 Bugs ReiSigl was doing slab duty for New Haven. The star boarder in the booby hatch had his usual line of stuff but the Mechanics were able to bunch a few long hits and sacrifice flies. Buck Venable was the leading clouter with two bagger and single. Chief Snyder crashed out a three bagger to center and Harvey Russell was on time with a double and a sacrifice fly that scored run.
 It was to 0 against Bridgeport when Snyder led off with triple in the fourth. Spratt went out on a grounder to Miller but Russell sent fly to Cough and Snyder beat the tied the score. Russell slapped a two bagger to left and Eley sacrificed, be- 1 ing safe when Miller dropped the throw Stow famed but Venable saved the day with long sacrifice fly to Foster on which Russell scored. No further tally was made until the 1 last of the ninth. With two down and nobody on, Bob Stow bounded a hit off ReisigIs shins. Buck Ven- able laced one to right that bounded away from Jerry Cornell and Stow made the winning count.
 In the ninth after the locals had allowed two Texas leaguers to fall
 safe, Nagle was on second and Cough on first with none out when Pope
 smashed one down toward third Ven i enough to throw to Stow, forcing tGough. Nagie started for home but Echanged his mind and went back to third. Then Spratt took Daschback' s grounder for the third out. The score:
