Whttey, the African rooter for the locals, engaged in wordy combat with Clans and tried to steal the latter's silk lid but was foiled by Catcher Nagle of the cham pions Clans had the last laugh and he left the park with his two gallon hat proudly tilted on one side.
 The Crossmen lost the battle pri- mar1ly because they couldn't hit. They got only two on the paths after the second. Taking advantage of a cou- of to until the third but couldn't hold it.

Billy Papke Ready
 To Try Boxing Again
(By T. s. Andrews )

Billy Papke, at one time champion middle weight, and who has been liv- ing quietly at his home in Keewanee, H., the past summer, is to take an other flyer at the game and also the tit1e-that is if he can make the weight. Billy had intended going back to Paris this fall for a match with either Frank Klaus or Georges Carpenter, but he has changed his mind and now says he will remain in the states and grab off some of the matches in the middle west. He is anxious to meet Jack Dillon or Eddie McGoorty He has been working about the home all summer doing light work in the gym and says he is in better shape now than he has been at this time of the year in several seasons.
 It is probable that London, Eng land, may be the scene of some more big international matches, such as were held by Hugh D. Mcintosh at Olympia during the season of 191O- II when the Australian promoter put in his time in England. News comes to me that a syndicate has been form ed in London for the purpose of pull ing off some big matches and that they will in all probability be held at Olympia It will not be surpris- ing to find Al Palzer and Bombardier Wells matched up again, also Wells and Gunboat Smith, while an effort IS also being made to bring Sam Lang ford and Joe Jeannette together for the colored tit1e. Tommy Burns had also been negotiating with the Lon don parties to take Arthur Pelkey over for one of the big matches.
