ST. LOUIS CARDINALS
DEFEAT AMERICANS

st. Louis, Oct 1.-THE Nationals
scored their second straight win in the
series for the city championship when
they defeated the Browns yesterday

WILL McALEER RETURN
TO BOSTON IN 1914?

New York Oct. 11-Will James r.
McAIeer and Robert MERCY remain in
control of half the stock and the bust
ness management of the Boston Red
asked because of the repeated rumors
that the big men in the American
league are worried over the present
condition in Boston.
McAIeer, who signed Bill Carrigan
to manage the Red Sox next year is
confident that the club will regain its
lost prestige, but some of the other
American .Ieaguers, it is said, do not
agree with him and are fearful that
Boston fans will gradually turn their
allegiance to George Stallings' hust-
Iers. The summer dismissal of George
StahI has not been forgotten in mod
ern Athens 1t will be remembered
that when Stahl was fired by McAleer
President johnson denounced the
move as both unfair and impolite.
1.-THE American league does not ap-
prove of such methods" said john
son, land the dismissal of Stahl is
base ingratitude.
johnson at first threatened to probe
the Stah1 case, but he suddenly 1apsed
into silence which, in the opinion of
baseball men, has become ominous.
McRoy has been unpopular with Bos-
ton fans ever since his clash with the
Royal Rooters during the last worlds
series. Mayor F1Czgerald openly de-
cIared, as a result of this rumpus,
that McRoy would have to go and re-
fused to be pacified until President
johnson interviewed him later on.
From Boston comes the information
that if McA1eer and MERCY are will
ing to sell their stock ready purchas-
ers can be found who will meet with
the approval of johnson, Gen. Charles
H Taylor and other American league
men McA1eer and McRoy bought SO
Der cent of the clubs stock two years
ago It is said that they put up about
$40 900 in cash and the balance in
notes Endorsed by Charles A Con1is-
key and others The club made near
ly $500, 900 last year, including its
share of the world - series money
and everybody seemed satisfied. But
in view of the current rumors regard |
ing a change in ownership it would |
not be surprising if a big deal is put |
through between now and next |
spring.

battles the imagination. To travel at
the rate Of better than two miles per
minutes is an experience that is ac-
corded to few and desired by even
fever. When Wilbur Wright made the
first flight in a motor-driven aero
plane at Kitty Hawk. Del, on Deem
Der IL, 1913, it was doubtful if he ever
conceived of such a future for the
aeroplane. In his initial journey
through the atmosphere Wright tray
eled $50 feet in a trif1e less than one
minute giving his machine a speed Of
approximately a mile in six minutes
Yet within ten years the speed Of the
aeroplane has been increased more
than one thousand per cent
On land or water, there is no record
similar length that can compare with
Prevost's time of SO minutes As 8-s
second for the 124.2S miles covered.
The one hundred mile automobile rec
ord is Y minutes 45 is seconds: mo-
torcycle u minutes p rs seconds. In
the realms of the motorboat there is
nothing that affords even a. basis OF
comparison.
Even in the records of short dashes
by motor-driven wheeled racer. there
are Few that show a speed per hour
greater than Prevost's. Glenn Cur
t1ss, who won the first International
aviation cup race, is credited with a
flash of better than two miles Der
minute made over Florida beach
sands with a homemade motorcycie
some years ago. The one-mfIe auto
mobile straightaway record made at
Daytona, Fla, two years ago is 25.4O
seconds. Both these dashes were over
a measured mile with long flying
starts. The mile-a-minute rnotorboaf
is just arriving, but the two-nfle-a-
minute water racer, either motorboat
or hydroaeroplane, is still below the
horizon.

WILDCAT FERNS SHOULD
GET WELTER HONORS
(By T. S. Andrews.)

Mr.. wildcat" Ferns, the Kansas
City cyclone, has as good a claim to
the welter weight title as any of the
AZ Founders about the country, and
it seems too bad that he and Ray
Bronson the Indianapolis welter
weight, can not be brought together
in a long fight to settle the question,
that we may have a recognized cham
pion in the class. 1t has been in dis
pute so long that it would be a, relief
to the followers of boxing to have the
matter settled. Ferns, who is piloted
by Jimmy Hurst, a clever little fellow
of Kansas City, met Billy Walters, the
Chicago sailor claimant to the title,
at Kenosha the other night and gave
him q .sure enough beating. Walters

CUBS AHEAD IN
CHICAGO SERIES
Humphries' Good Pitching
Downs American Leaguers in
Second Game.

Chicago, Oct. 11-With the series a
tie, the Cubs jumped on the White
Sox yesterday and forged ahead in
the city championship games They
beat the Sox by to 0 and after the
contest was over the series stood two
games to one in favor of the National
1eaguers. Bert Humphries pitched
fine ball for the Cubs while Scott of
the Sox was hit hard.
Poor fielding helped in the undoing
Of Scott and the general rout of the
White Sox. A wild throw by Collins
was sandwfched among hits by Evers
Schultz, Safer and Goode in the sixth
and the combination netted three
runs. With one out in the seventh,
another series of hits with errors by
Bodie~ and Weaver added five to the
total.
There was one out when Leach be-
gan the attack in the seventh with
double into the crowd. Evers walked
and Schultz slammed a single to right,
scoring Leach. Zimmerman beat out
a bunt, scoring Evers, and after Sal
er had struck out, Goode shot a safe
the hit, Bodie made a mess of retriev-
ing the ball and Zimmerman sped
over the plate, Goode going to second.
Weaver fumbled BridwelPs grounder
and Goode scored.
Just before the game the announc-
er shouted forth the news of the dy-
namiting of the Gamboa dixie. While
the band played '"The Star Spangled
Banner every man in the stands and
field, including the players of each
club, stood with barred heads. A
mighty cheer was given.
The attendance taxed the capacity
of the West Side Park. Official fig
ures were:
Attendance, 1897.
Total receipts, $12,919.
Commissions share, 1921.

New York. Oct. 11-With the
worlds baseball championship series
not yet off the boards, the devotees OF
football sought to push their way to

FANS CHEER AT ARMORY
WATCHING PLAYOGRAPH

The Giants fans who watched the
Giants-Ath1etics game at the Arnory
yesterday afternoon were feeling
pretty clipper when McGraw's men
rallied in the seventh and eighth in

the final laugh as usual. The follow
ers of McGraw, however, were up in
arms when MerI11e made that home
run and scored two ahead of him
The PIayograph showed the ball trav-
cling to left field and the crowd
cheered wildly just as if they were
at Shibe park. For the benefit of
those who cannot visit the Armory at
2 o'clock in the afternoon the P1ayo-

Next Week in New York.

Packey Mcfarland OF Chicago and
Harlem Tommy Murphy will meet in
a ten-round bout in Madison Square
Garden, New York, next Friday night
They have agreed to weigh in at 1S7

about the same weight as he was at
the time he met Jack Britton.
The last time the Chicago light
weight and Tommy came together it
was in a twenty-round bout in Cali

thing. Murphy, who has improved
wonderfully in the last year, has the
distinction of a victory over the for

chise He says the buyer is a well
known Westerner who is at present
acting as scout for a major league
club. Kennedy says he did not make
enough last season to satisfy him for
a summers work and he prefers to
return to a, scouting job. The genial
Sam would not reveal the name of
the purchaser but declared he would
be at the annual Eastern association
duce the new owner on that occasion.
There was a report in Philadelphia
yesterday that John McGraw had
committed suicide. He probably felt
like it after yesterdays game.

OF BOXING FOR FARMER READERS


chicken. Evidently Sam has been 1iv-
ing high.
Jeanette looked good, though, and
the crowd figured that Langford was
due to 'tget his and get it good. But
| that's where the men disappointed.
Knowing what terrible battles Jean
nette had given Langford in the past,
when both were in good condition,
anyone naturally would expect Joseph
| to cut loose as soon as he got hep
to the condition of his old time foe.
| But instead Joe was anything but fer
ocious. In fact, he allowed Langford
to force the milling the greater part
of the time, and whenever an oppor-
tunity to slam a few good ones into
| the fat mans stomach occurred Joe
| just naturally didn't have the heart
to do it. He did hit Sam several
of them would have broken an egg.
If Langford and Jeanette were
doing their best the other night; then
they are about all in. 1t was Ger
tainly miserable exhibition. After
watching Sam and Joe wade through
ten dull rounds it was the prevailing
opinion that the Boxing Commission
ers pulled a frightfuI 'sbloomer'' when
they ruled against the Smith-Lang-
ford contest. Langford, in the condi-
ton he was the other night would
have had a hard job sticking ten

local s'wisenheimer'' in taking
me to task for criticistng the Boxing
commissioners says the ruling against
mixed bouts was designed to spro-
tect'' white heavies from needless
slaughter. After peeking at Sam and
Joe for ten rounds I have come to
the conclusion that the rule worked
the wrong way when it prevented the
'tGunboat-Tar Baby battle.
Jim Griffin, the famous San Fran
cisco referee, has been visiting in New
York the past few weeks. Jim has
host of friends in this city and be-
tween keeping social engagements,
attending boxing matches and watch
ing the Giants and Athletics fight for
the WORLDS baseball championship
is the original busy kid. This is Grif-
fins first visit to the big city, but he
swears it will not be his last. In fact,
Jim says a New York trip will be
an annual event with him from now
on.
Griffin was introduced from the
ring the night of the Langford-Jean-
nette fiasco and was given a very cor
dial reception by the thousands of
fight fans assembled in the Garden.
One or two of the more enthusiastic
spectators extended Jim hearty invi-
to make New York his resi-
dence in the future, assuring him that
there is a big, field for an official Of |
his calibre in this city.

was game and fought back all through
the contest, but he appeared over
trained and just a bit overmatched.
Ferns certainly carried the goods that
night and there is no reason why he
should not get into a real little match.
Mike Gibbons is too heavy for the well
ter class, being unable to scale 145
ringside, or 142 at 2 o'clock on the
day of the fight Therefore Bronson
and Ferns appear as two of the best
brought together the winner would
well claim the championship and de-
fend it. He would also have a chance
to fight a real International battle for
a worlds title, as the British cham
pion, Johnny Summers, is anxious for
just such a match.
Young say1or. the Indianapolis
lightweight, who was off form last
year because of lack of training, is
to get a chance at one of the real top
liners. Say1or has been matched by
his manager, Ray Bronson, to meet
Freddy Welsh, the British champion,
in a 12-round contest at Winnipeg
some time in October, the date hav-
ing been held over until the club can
arrange with Welsh and his manager,
Harry Pollock. Saylor has met all
the good boys of his weight in the
east and middle west and gave great
promise two years ago, but like Joe
Mandot, the southern champion, he
neglected proper training and took
too many chances, with the result
that instead of advancing he retro
graded. He has gone through a severe
course of training with Bronson at
the 1atter's own gymnasium in the
Indiana city and feels sure he can
now take the measure of most of the
133-pounders. He has been offered |
a match with Charlie White of Chi
cago, providing he holds Welsh even, |
and that is his aim, as the promoters
at Indianapolis want him for the big
match with the Chicago lad, who has
been coming SO fast of late.
