JOE TINKER AND
 EvERS HAVE FIGHT
CHICAGO PLAYERS MIX TT UP ON BENCH AFTER WORDY
 DISPUTE.

Not content with abusing umpires and scrapping with players of rival clubs, Joe Tinker and Johnny Tcvers. the trouble making pair of the Chicago Cubs, now are scrapping with each other. One Round Joe and Knock Out Johnny enlivened the proceedings in Washington Park, Brooklyn, yester- day, with an impromptu fist fight, which, if it had not been squelched quickly. would have done credit to q pair of 1ongshoremen. Only a few blows were exchanged, however, when the belligerents were separated by other players.
 The row took place when the Cubs went to the bench at the end of the first game of the doub1e-header with the Superbas. With one down in the ninth, Evers bounced q single off Knetzer's glove tips. Williams, the Notre Dame collegian, hit to Kirkpat- rick, and Evers was forced at second. Tinker, who is acting manager of the team, thought that Eyers would have beaten the throw if he had put a lit tie more ginger into his spring for the bag.
 When the Cubs went to the bench at the end of the inning Tinker hand ed Evers a call, and wasn't diplomatic about it, either, winding up his repri- mand by telling Johnny that he was "dogging i.' and was bum ball player.
 Evers became enraged, and, jumping to his feet, said several things to Tin h6I IlldC .WOGiI0 nOt J6 pIOp0I III d Fifth avenue drawing room. Then it was biff bang. ping. The two men began swinging wildly at. each other. but their judgment of distance was bad and only one or two punches had landed clean before the other players pulled the fighters apart. A special officer got to the bench just the scrappers went to their corners-tf1e two end seats off the bench.
 Last night One Round Joe and Knock Out Johnny occupied a box to- at fv7 Ma Garden. Evidently they had patched LID tflair difficulties.

HEATING LOST
 BECAUSE OF TOO MANY FREE PASSES

Ray Heating of this city pitched for the New York Americans yesterday and lost to Detroit by to 5. His defeat was due partly to his own wildness and partly to poor support.
 The New York Press says of his work:
 Ray Keating, the High1anders' ed by Wolverton to capture the last game from the Tigers. The young ster held the Royal Bengals to five hits, but they took advantage of his lack of control and rolled up more runs than they made hits. Keating-s support also was poor, but he was largely responsible for his own de- feat.
 .'The fielding was poor by both teams. eight errors being divided be- tween the two squads. Bob Williams, half Of the New York nisp1ays, while Donie Bush contributed two of the Tfgertown fozzles. However, where errors were of considerable help to was assisted by a foozIe.
 The T1gers scored run in the first walked Bush and Corriden Crawford sacrificed, and Bush registered while Heating was tossing out Cobb. The E1ighlanders tied it up in the second gled to right and took second when Heating thhmped a one-timer to cen- ter.
 t'The Tigers scored three runs in the third, when keating again had trouble with. his control. After BoehIer famed Bush walked and Corridor was hit by a pitched ball Ora awford's triple ad- mitted Donie and Corriden, and Cobb's sacrifice fly to Lelivelt gave wahoo Sam a, chance to breeze honae.''
 The. Times says:
 Heating pitched a better game than did Boehler, the Tiger recruit sent against him, notwithstanding New York lost, to j. Heating allowed only five hits His downfall was due to the fact that Sam Crawford in- serted his only hit of the day just af- ter Heating had walked Bush and Corridor had failed to dodge a pitch that ought to have been easy to avoid. The Tigers got the lucky end of the bad fielding, for which the mud was responsible, too, taking d pair of coun- ters on a bad chuck in the eighth, at least one of which would never have ma feriaIiZed otIlerMiSe.', ,,

WORLDS SERIES

 The Bostons close their champion ship race in Philadelphia on Saturday, same day in Brooklyn There are games in both lea gues in the West on Sunday. October $, the closing day, but that will not interfere with the Giants and Red Sox, who will have Sunday in which to rest
 The commission voted in Cincinnati the other day to open on Monday, but was keeping the news under cover un- til the meeting here Wednesday, It leaked out, however. One days rest is considered sufficient. anyway, it's as fair for one as for the other Pre- rious worlds series have not been started So soon after the pennant sea- but but the commission wants to take advantage of good weather as early as possible and does not care about run ming the risk of putting into rain or cold by holding off for any greater length of time than it has to. So the teams will get down to business with the loss of only a single day.
 Another plan agreed on is to play two consecutive days in one city, then two in the next city. There will be no alternating day by day. In which city the series will begin has not yet been determined This will be settled by lot as will be the place of seventh game in case each club wins three gameS

JOE WOOD TELLS
 HOW HE PITCHES
BOSTON RED SOX WONDER SAYS HIS GREAT SPEED HELPS
 HIM

Joe Wood. the great Red sox pitcher, who has won 16 straight. is the big noise in the. baseball ranks just now. His terrific speed is Wood's greatest asset.
 Wood was asked the other day how he pitched, and this is what he
 When you ask me how to pf,ch champ1onship baseball, I do not gke 10 answer. because am afraid baae- pan 1ans may say that l GOn't know now. The truth is. I don't know why l pitch any better than any other man in the game-if do ! suppore It IS knack of pitching the bali. part of tie team that has given me a record of more baseball eauies =-f,r. than any ether pitcher in the leaeu0
 T cannot even tell why the ball pitch is better than that pitched Eg other twirlers-if it fs-uuiess ft fr fs the speed of the ball. They sayr T have a snap of the wrist that efr-s the bail that 'speed. l do pitch it with a. snap.
 T do know that my fast baIr is the one on which 1 DIotniy rely. seldom use q curve ball. and rarely serve up a slow one. T have more speed than some of the Others. c. is because give the ball more enetgy the way ] pitch than it gets from some Of the other deliveries. and fr have Something on the ball ft ls because of q knack that I have had all my ilIe- OO not LTy To give the ball any freak twists. and I do nor know why my ball should have more speed or any freak that other pitch CTS do not have.
 The ball pitch does take a jump before it reaches the batter. That comes from the speed, I think. al- though it may come from some twist that give the ball unconsciousiy bs- fore 1t leaves my hand. That jump seems to fool them often.
 ''I hold the ball like most other nj the first two fingers, above. and the thumb, below. 1 hold it that way when I give them a fast one when slip them a curve or when I serve up a slow one, I always throw it with the same overland motion. ! bring my arm over at full length with the hand more or less upright. and throw with all the energy I have. As the arm comes over nearly as far as it will go, the wrist does the rest It probably snaps quickly, thereby giving the ball. the extra speed they say I have. Whatever happens, the wrist comes down and the ball leaves my fingers quickly"

GALLAGHER TO RUN AT SEA BREEZE
OLYMPIC MARATHON STAR WILL COME FROM YALE TO. COM
 PETE IN OLYMPIAD SUNDAY.

The mana cement of Sea Breeze Is-
 land. because of the big list of entries
 for the Olympiad tos be. held at the
 Island next Sunday Sept. g, have de-
 cided to hold the field day in the af-
 ternoon starting at o'clock. It had
 been originally planned to conduct the
 Olynpiad during the evening having the field as bright as day with the aid
 of arc and ncandescent lights The
 announcement of the change it is ex-
 pected will meet with the approval of
 everyone. The suggestion of the change was made by Lawson RobeAt-
 have charge of the meet He states
 that though he had originally favored holding the meet at night he had coon
 cluded that night conditions might not work well with the athletes. that they were trained more for afternoon ex-
 erctse-i It was at his suggestion -hat the change has been made
 Interest in the meet has been stimu- lated through the receipt of the entry
 of Johnny Gallagher of Yale. Gal lagher is the same diminutive youth finishing in 7th place, the second American to finish. It is a coinci- dence that Gaston Strobino, the first American to finish, will also appear at Sea Breeze. Gallagher attributed the success of the American team to the efforts of Mike Murphy and Law ton Robertson in their skillful hand ling of the men. In speaking of the great marathon. Gallagher says, T can only say that I am very sorry that I held back my strength until
 too late or might have had very good chance of winning Gallagher states that the day of the great race was very warm. almost unbearable, and that the conditions under which the race was run was not suited to the American athlete. He states that the course was quite hilly, about a quarter of a mile between hills. It was because of this fact, he states. that he lost sight of the runners ahead of him. When twelve miles from the finish, beliveing the leaders to be but a half mile ahead of me, I let out'' says Gallagher. t'The fact was'' he continued, they were three miles ahead. This was too much to over come. In the final stretch, Gallagher passed Ryan, Tewanirna and De Mar. He also passed the Portuguese rum ner who succumbed from exhaustion after the race. An instance to how Gallagher trains. he states that after the Stockholm race he dressed and walked five miles. This walk was to of his legs This is always his cus- tom after a long race T was very groggy toward the end of that race Gallagher When near the end saw McArthur, the winner, three miles ahead of me. I let out. All in front of the other as fast pos sible'. Gallagher will enter in the 8 mile. 5 mile and 10 mile events. Strobino has also entered in these events. There is an intense rivalry between the two for Gallagher, feels did at the Stockholm games. Gal Iagher is a student at Yale and has brought many honors to the New Ha- ven college while wearing the blue.

ARE OUR TAXPAYERS PREPARED TO RUN
 THE OYSTER INDUSTRY
 AND PAY THE OWNERS?

''We understand that there are some oyster beds near them, We have no exact knowledge thereof, but will state that a reasonable cost for acquiring the use of such grounds will be slight compared with the cost of Altering sewage on land.-Report of Herring & Fuller, recommending $3,OOO.OOO sewer project to Bridgeport.
 The cost of buying these oyster beds will be inflicted on the city if Mayor Wilson's sewer proposal is adopted.
 To pump the sewage of Bridge port into the oyster beds would be to ruin the oyster industry in this neighborhood.

GETS : DECISION OVER
 EDDIE O'KEEFE

Johnny KiIbane. who holds the Am erican featherweight title. did not look
 like real champion in the ten round
 bout with Eddie O'Keefe of Philadel-
 phia, in the Garden. New York, last
 night He had advantage in weight
 and also won on points with a little
 to spare, but O'<eefe proved conclu-
 sively that Kilbane could be punched
 in the face with the left hand
 O'Keefe confined his efforts almost eX-
 clusively to this blow. but he had
 very little behind it. Kflbane on the
 other hand was the heavier puncher and whenevef he landed solid smash
 he offset many of the Quaker's' harm
 less taps. KiIbane did not try to stall
 in many of the rounds, but he also did a lot of rushing. and on several oc-
 casions O'Keefe felt the power of his punches
 of left ja.bs the champions way Blew properly describes O'Keefe 8 left jabs, for they wouldn't have dent ed a cream puff. and kilbane scarcely took the trouble to block them. Once in a while O'Keefe landed clean, solid punches but most of the Quakers leads were landed while going away and amounted TO little more than flick ing kiIbane on the other hand sell dom wasted his energies on blows that did mot carry steam behind them. O,Keefe's bird-shot leads might have looked pretty to some of the specta- tors, but it was Kilbane's bullet-ikeI drives that brought nome tile bacon.
 Johnny had his weight behind his punches and made every one tell. Most of O'Keefe's leads were landed going away and thus were robbed of TlncT7 force KiIbane kept going all the time. while O'Keefe always held at close quarters. kilbane had all the better of the mitigating, lombard ing Eddie with rapid-fire. aefts and righte to the stomach and jarring him with wicked uppercuts and hooks to the jaw Occasionally O'Keefe took a chance, Tut the Cleveland boy mad all the better of the exchanges Ofttlmes he drove O'Keefe behind turtle like q defense but he himself never was chased to cover.

BrickIey is hailed a,s the greatest drop kicker the East has yet seen by Grim son enthusiasts. Coach Haughton, af- ter a stiff workout today, said scrim- images probably will begin next week.
