KLEM's DECISION CORRECT

Umpire Klem's decision was cor
rect in the eleventh inning at New
York yesterday. though it cost the
Giants a game. With the bases filed.
McGraw sent Mccormick In to bat
for Demaree. AS Umpire KLEIN turned
to announce the change Alexander
pitched the ball, and Mccormick
singled, scoring Merkle with what
should have been the winning run.
KLEIN claimed 1t was not a legal hit,
as he was not watching when the ball
was pitched, and Mccormick had to
bat over. He hit into a double play
and the Giants chance was gone.

plate. Hi made no effort to score
until Mason threw to first base. and
then he beat It for the plate and ar

Catcher Burns and touching the pan
with the tip of his toe.
BArger pitched great ball and was
in danger only once. Then Billy Zim-
norman saved the day with a clever
throw to the plate. Cy held the
Royals hitless until the sixth. Mason,
second up in this round, got a life on
Barger's error. Gilhooley hit one too
hot for Gagnier to field. Esmond hit
to right, filling the bases. Yeager
smashed a line foul to left and then
after a couple more fouls stung one
at Eddie Zimmerman, who threw
Mason out at the plate. Allen wal

hooley scored and Esmond started for
the dish from second.
Billy Zimmerman came in on the
run, and, grabbing the ball, shot 1t
on a line straight into Higgins's mitt,
nipping Esmond by a foot. 1t was a
throw such as is seen very seldom in
any game.
Sill then grabbed the Tigers final
tally when he singled and got around
to third ON a pair of wild throws,
both crazy ohucks. Swacina's saeri-
flee fly lifted Bill home. The Ter
rible Two" combination worked per-
fectly. Eddie Zimmerman had a
double, but it did not figure in the
scoring, as it came with none on and

Atlantic City Golf Tourney
Could Not Escape the Rain

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., April 20
One sharp April shower just to up
hold the traditions of the annual
spring tournament of the Country
Club, of Atlantic City, fell here yes
terday, but it did not last even
quarter of an hour, and, taken Alto
gether, in spite of the shower, the
conditions for golf were just about
as favorable as they could well be.
Taking It on the whole'th golf was
fairly classy, and during the day
some interesting matches were
played. From a Philadelphia point
of view, however, the success was
attained by its representatives In the
Governors cup, the main trophy, was
of a negligible quantity, with all due
respect TO C. B. Buxton. In the first
round there were four survivors from
PHILADELPHIA, but by the time the
second round had been completed the
number was reduced to one, the
aforementioned G. b. Buxton. rms
was all the more surprising since the
four survivors in the first round were
G. A. Crump, C. B. Buxton, j. M
Thompson and II. w. Wood The
latter won his match with g. K. Me-

President B. B. Johnson to official

cases:
when, with one or more runners

base on a play to retire the runner
nearest to home plate, and no out
results, provided that the play be
made without error by an opponent.
"Example-With runners on first

BOXING FANS
PAY MILLION
TO SEE BOUTS
New York Collected Nearly
$4,000 in a Year Under
Frawley Law.

NEW YORK, April 26.-The public
is spending nearly a million dollars
year to see boxing contests in New
York State. According to a report Of
the State Athletic Commission pub
lished today, the exact total of gate
receipts at boxing contests for the
year ending November 80, 1912. is
$3.50, 1926, out of which the State has
received a per cent. commission, or
sac, 1911. Since the Athletic Commis-
sion was appointed in August, 1911,
the grand total of gate receipts has
been $1,219,19s
Students of sporting statistics de-
clare that the figures indicate that
boxing is second only to baseball in
popularity in New York State. At
the end of the year for which the re-
port is issued there were seventy-six
boxing clubs operating under the di-
rection of the commission. Of the
total eighty-nine licenses granted
since the commission was organized,
forty-nlne were to clubs operating in
the metropolis.
New York was the first State to
establish commission with jurisdic-
tion over boxing, but several States
are following the example. There is
movement now on foot here pro-
NOTED by the New York Athletic
Club. to place wrestling also under
the control Of the commission as It
is believed 1t would mean the re-
establishment of the popularity of a
sport that has become somewhat dis
credited.
