SPORTING AFFAIRS.

BOSTON, MASS.-In Boston, where
the White Sox lost two games to the
Red Sox last week it is openly stated
that Larry Chappell, for whom Comis-
key paid the equivalent of S1S,500 to
the Milwaukee club, is greatly over
rated. Chappell has been benched by
Callahan for various reasons and Ping
Bodie has supplanted him in center
field. 1t is said that Chappell is not
only weak at the bat, but is green and
slow on the bases.
DlSON-Governor McGovern is
slow in naming his boxing commits
sion. 1t is quite likely that Manning
Vaughan of Milwaukss will be made
secretary OF the commission. The Sec
rotary will receive salary of $1,000
a year.
ST. JOSEPH, Nobody Burns,
bantamweight of Dallas, Tex, signed
articles here for a ten round boxing
bout with Johnny Coulon, champion
bantamweight of the world, to be
held in Omaha Sept II.

New York City was visited by VIC
lent and destructive electrical storm
accompanied by torrential rain. All
over Manhattan sewers were unable
to carry off the great volume of sur

sewer burst and shot sewerage mat

Lightning hit in many spots, shat

out of the cornices of buildings. Folks
were shocked but nobody was killed.

cover in sheltered places were driven
out by the floods that came in after
them. Some had to be rescud from
the quickly rising artificial lakes.
