HOWARD IS EASY
FOR JOHN WALTZ

The seasoned battler, Johnny Waltz.
of Jersey City. demonstrated his SUI
periority over the hard-hitting Johnny
Howard, of Bayonne when he admin
istered to the latter the most decisive
beating in his career. 1t was Waltz
all the way Only in the first round
did Howard make any kind of
showing. and in that session Waltz
was evened up. Waltz's style of
fighting fitted his name, as he
"waltzed and danced around the
Bayonneite in such a way that the
latter simply fell into the Skeeter
lads mitts all the way Waltz was
the aggressor at infighting, too.
Young Herman, of this city, gave
Young Mantler. of Jersey City good
bout while he lasted, but in the third
round the latter connected a series
of rights and lefts on the local lad s
jaw that Herman saw something he
never did before--a knockout. Young

four-round draw in the initial pre-
liminary. Jack Coyne was shaded by
Young Victor, of Garfield Jack, how
ever. was outweighed, but stood all
his opponent had. 1t was a slugging
match, and at the end of the fourth
session both were all in. A good
bout resulted between Sammy Stone

The fourth race of the champion

drome tonight and the distance and
conditions make 1t look most promis-
ing. The distance is two miles and 1t
will be run in one heat with twenty
starters and with a prize of IS for
every lap. The regulars" who know
the game know what that means.
The race will be rough, fast battle
from the start to the finish, without
a single breathing spell at any stage.
There Is chance for the establish
ment of new record for the distance
tonight, If the weather is favorable
The great showing Alfred Grenda
has made in the races since
he came here makes him loom up
strong for the honors In this race, and
Grenda himself feels very confident
that he will win his first champion
han champion has come here for the
purpose Of grabbing that American
title, but so far he has ridden in hard
luck in all but one of the champion

Kramer is almost certain to gather Il
few points in every championship race

to Kramer's liking, he is goin6 good
and is not worrying over the -osul1.
He expects to win.
Frank Cavanagh, who is the runner
up to Kramer at the present time,
has fine opportunity to get up close
to the champ by gathering some
points tonight. Cavanagh Is only six
points away from Kramer and he is
three ahead of Grenda, which looks
good for youngster just out of the
amateur ranks. Cavanagh is strong
and can stand hard race, but he is
not strong enough to lay far back in
the bunch and come around on the
last lap. If the Celt will ride up in
front and show some fight he will be
one, two, three at the finish and no
worse His last two races were very
bad, and he lost both by laying too
far back in the bunch. Foxy Tricky"
Comes will have to be watched in
the championship tonight. for the
little Frenchman is a bear in a hard
race now, and with his ability to get
a good position he is going to be dan
gerous. They thought the Frenchman
was punk in a hard race, but in the

The George Wiley Menus Bedell 90
mile paced match is going to be some

last Wednesday Bedell will not try to
blow Wiley up in the first mile It
was this mistake that proved fatal
to Menus last week when they met,
which allowed Wiley to win as he
pleased, but they are very evenly
matched. The Syracuse rider cannot
play with Bedell in any kind of race
back of the motors.
The handicap for the pros will be
half-mile affair, and Kramer and
Grenda will be among the starters.
The two-mile invitation is a scratch
race and will be run in one heat
Forty-two amateurs have entered

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, July 26.--
The Cornell first was caught in a
bad squall on the Hudson yesterday
afternoon and Courtney was lucky
to get all his shells to the float with
out swapping. The Ithacans started
on a long row late In the afternoon
down stream, bucking both wind and
tide. When they were nearing Milton
the storm, which had been threaten
ing all afternoon, broke with squall
from the southeast. Courtney turned
his crews around and made for the
boathouse at top speed. All of the
Cornell shells shipped considerable
water, but they reached the float in
safety, after hard rowing. The rough
water of this afternoon foiled Court
ney's time trial again. Last night
he was stopped by a tug. and ne had
planned a test with the incoming tide
yesterday afternoon, but had to
abandon the idea when he saw the
rough water. No other crews were
out at the time the storm broke.
All of the coaches gave their men
like work yesterday. In the morn

for speed rowing, and this afternoon

That 500 mark is the Tigers hoodoo
this season.
No matter how they strive, they
cannot get up enough steam to reg
lister 500 in the percentage column.
Several times they have come within
one game of making the number or
contests in the won and lost columns
even. but every time luck has
broken bad and they have slipped
back.
Now the Tigers, after losing a ten
inning game, Az, to the Hustlers
yesterday, must win two games in a
row to attain the 800 mark.
There were many opportunities yes
terday for both Teams, but both Lee
and Klepfer were clever in the
pinches. Lee was scored on twice in
the first inning on straightaway hit
ting while Klepfer had only one bad
round. The Tigers, however, did not
make the most of their advantages
in the fourth when Ed was wild and
they only succeeded in tying the
score by tallying once. with a run
that Klepfer forced over the pan.
Three Tigers were left on base in
this round.
John CAMEL was very much sur
prised when Joe McGinnity did not
start yesterdays game. A Rochester
series without Joe pitching at least
one game is quite unusual, but the
"Iron Man" has decided not to work
as long as his regular pitchers are
in better shape than he. The Iron
Man" has realized that the iron hand
of time is weighing heavily on his
shoulders, and some of the thump-
ings he received this year convinced
him that he is no longer the same
