BIG CHANCE FOR
JOE JEANETTE
Bout With Johnson at Stake in
Tonight's Battle With
Langford.
WILLIE RICHIE ARRIVES

Sam Langford and Joe Jeanette,
two of the leading heavyweights in
the boxing game, will get together
tonight at Madison Square Garden.
New York. to determine which will
get a chance to box Jack Johnson in
Europe next December Langford has
already been matched with Johnson,
but Jeanette has learned that a VIC
tory over the Bostonian would re-
suit in his getting the date. AS
result the match means considerably
more than the average bout between
two heavyweights.
What was undoubtedly the great
est heavyweight bout fought in New
York was the battle between these
two negroes at Madison Square Car
den in September, 1911. Three times
Jeanette went to the floor the last
time so badly dazed that Langford
seemed assured of a knockout victory
in the final round. During three pre-
ceding rounds Jeanette completely
outboxed Langford. Langford got
the majority of the decisions because
of his hard hitting. but Jeanette
had some supporters because of his
great boxing.

pion of the world, arrived in New
York from California last night. lie

Giants Have the Call in the Betting
but the Athletics Have the Ball Team

To win, the Giants pitchers must
be in form, must be at ter best. The
great Matty is always reliable fell
low, but even he couldn't win single
game out of four last year. although
everybody and his brother must ad-
nit that Matty pitched the best ball
of any twrler in the Boston series.
That one instance shows you can't
even win at your best if you don't set
the breaks. Vanguard, too, is with
the Giants. The Rube pitched fine
ball in the series against Boston and
he proved winner because things
broke well for him. Tesreau managed
to win one game, but his exhibition
was not particularly alluring. Dem
aree was not in harness last year, but
he has done well in his box work this
year. However, he is rather new, ard
may not be able to stand the gait
which is so essential in these big
series. OF course, he might be the
bear-cat" of the affair, as ether
youngsters have proved to be, but
that is all a chance, and the odds.
are much against him. When the real
test comes there must be a Mathew
son somewhere to carry the loed to
success If Matty can't do it, we
fear the Giants are to be doomed.
@
Yes. the Giants have the pitchers.
Well allow all that. But what good
will great pitching do if the team
behind the pitchers doesn't make
some runs. That's the question
runs Now. to make runs you must
have great batters. You'll confess
that. all you Giant rooters! Well, on
what team have We the great batters?
The Athletics! You are right, Willie,
and for that bright answer you will
be given a perfect mark in deport-
ment. Now. We have reached one |
conclusion. We are satisfied that |
the Giants have the great pitchers
and the Athletics have the great
batters. and all We want is few |
runs. Who is going to give us the |
runs? Surely not the great pitchers.
Then. perhaps, the great batters!
That appeals to me more forcibly. |
So there YOU have the dope. fans
You know you must get runs to win,
and all you've got to do is to find !
out the team that is going to give !
YOU those runs, and then you'll have
the winner. 1t is SO simple, is all |
this deduction. The smart men who !,
have spent weeks trying to figure out |
the loser should be ashamed of them
selves. Here YOU have only two sub
iects. one the Giants and the other |
the Athletics. You know full well |
one of them must win, and one of |
them must lose, and still you hem |
and haw and harp around, guessing
and declaring. and know not where
you're at. 1t looks SO easy, it seems
4 shame to mediate. Only two
chances. only one guess. And still we
ean't give you the winner-not yet.

is coming to him. Unlike the West,
New York is hard place on cham
pions They seem to be looked upon
in Gotham as no better than any of
the other less notable mortals.
Whether Richie will take kindly to
such treatment remains to be seen.
So far he has proved himself to be
very shrewd fellow. He has won the
title. he has retained it, and now he
is peddling it at so much per week
on the stage. We may talk all we
want to and say what we will about
Richie, but he must have something
or else he wouldn't be at the top of
the heap. He may not look the part,
and he may not act the part, but no
man ever came into a championship
who didn't have something in his
makeup to get him there. Besides,
once champion. a person improves
about 100 per cent. Although at one
time we couldn't see him at all, the
fact that he has won the champion
ship and is clever enough to hold on
to 1t is sufficient recommendation.
Richie is to fight in New York on
the last day of the present month.
His opponent will be Leach Cross. In
the meantime he will remain in vau-
deVille.

The New York Giants have the call
in the worlds series. but there is no
good reason to advance why this
should be. AS a ball team from top
to bottom the Philadelphia Athletics
shine head and shoulders over the
McGrawites yet if you go through
the ranks of the players and question
the close followers of the game about
so per cent of the answers viii favor
the Giants for the championship.
e
Public opinion, it is said. is the best
thing to judge by and concensus of
opinion is believed to be almost
certain method of arriving at conciu-
sions. So, If it is going to do you :,I7y
good, help you at all, in your desire
to get the winner before the race ais
on, why you can take it from yours
truly that the vast majority of those
who should know, of those who are
supposed to know and OF those who
don't know a thing-which is some
times the best information obtaina-
ble-deep down in their hearts and
by word of mouth, believe that John
j. McGraw and his Giants will
emerge from the gruelling struggle
the heroes of the occasion. This is
given to you. Mr.. Fan, for all it is
worth. If 1t helps you to select
4
it hasn't helped me bit. 1t is al
ways my desire to be with the crowd,
with the majority, with the winner,
but it looks from this distance as if
was going to trail along in another
other direction entirely.
G
The method of reaching a conclusion
by comparison of the players is lit
instances not even as good way.
In the case of the Giants and the Ath-
letics you can figure your head off and
YOU will always arrive at the same
yourself-the Giants have the better
pitching staff, maybe, and the Ath-
letics have the better baseball team
beyond a shadow of a doubt. Stack
ing the long suit of the one up
against the long suit of the other Is
good common sense, of course, but
no matter what you do, how you
figure, you'll find yourself wee bit
doubtful in the end This very mo-
ment the Athletics stick out as the
winner, but when | stop to think of
the great pitcher, Mathewson, and the
great general, McGraw. it gives me a
choking sensation, don't you know. 1t
is too even. too hard a proposition,
to come out boldly and say the Giants
will win or the Athletics will win, yet
one must win, and when it is done,
and even when it is being done, it
will all be so simple, so easy. Be
fore. all is mist and darkness After
ward, all is as bright as the MONDAY
sun.

The fight between Sam Langford
ana Joe Jeanette at Madison Square
Garden this evening should produce
a sure-enough opponent for Jack
Johnson, if johnson can be persuad-
ed to meet the winner. That will
come later. though. Just now Jack
is over in Europe with everybody in
the world apparently against him.
The authorities won't let him do this
thing or that thing and the actors
won't play on the bill with him. He
is in SO badly that out of his dilemma
may become the decision to fight
either Langford or Jeanette ON the
other side of the ocean. Such a match
wouldn't go in this country very
strong-f at all-but the winner could

a bad fellow that he never will be

But the fight tonight is the thing
and the fans can rest assured that
they will see some bout when Mr..

was a bear and that there was

who had done the better work in the

full beating. He had him on the

cause he could not train yesterday.
The poor old "champer," it would
seem, cannot get what he wants when
he wants it. However Kramer needs
a little hard training right now, for
he is to ride a hard race Sunday-a
tandem paced race at ten miles
against Jackie Clark and All Goullet
and he wants to be right when he
meets them. Kramer was not keen
for this match but as the promoters

Golfers will be disappointed in the

not be able to team up with Jerome
d. Travers and play Harry Vardon
and Edward Ray in foursome at
Wy1agyl late in the month. After
having arranged for the engagement
Ouimet finds his nerves shattered ans
declares he is in need of rest. The
boy has probably been overgolfed and
his success may have had something
to do with his illness. A victory
over Vardon and Ray and his defeat
of Travers may have been too much
for the boy, who is only twenty years
of age and a stripping in build be-
