ENGLAND ATTEMPTING
 TO GAIN LOST GLORY

The announcement that Lord North cliffe intends to send over next year s British open champion, whoever he may be- and J. H. Taylor, the present titIe-hoider, and Harry Vardon and Edward Ray, no matter what kind of a showing the three latter may make next year, to lead another assault on the American open championship, makes certain four big international sporting events for the United States in 1914. These are golf, polo, lawn tennis and yachting. In golf 1t is more than likely that there will also be-a British invasion at the national amateur championship.
 Though ,angered at her all round failure in the field of sport this year, England has not by any means made up her mind to su1k and retire from any participation in sports in which she once set the pace for the rest of the world We may therefore expect some history making contests on the courts, the polo field, the links and on the water next summer.
 In two branches Of sport England Is further ahead in her preparations for her next conflicts than we are. It ia understood that Sir Thomas Lipton has already laid the keel of the Amerf- ca Cup challenger, while on this side the plans of Herreshoff and the two syndtcates that are to build defenders have not even been settled.
 England also would appear to be stealing G march on us in polo, for Lord Ashby St. Ledgers is already en- gagged on the preliminary plans of get ting together men and mounts to send to Meadow Brook next June. But it is, perhaps, not so necessary for us to worry about the advance work in polo for we are, at least, relieved of the trouble of collecting 8 string of suita- ble mounts

|M' GRAW DEFIES COMMISSION
 AND WILL WRITE BIC SERIES
Says He Has As Much Right As Actors
 Or Others

Boston, Sept. So-Manager John J. McGraw of the Giants, who. is here with his club for a final series with the Braves, makes no bones about saying that the National Commission exceeded it's rights when it asserted that none of the participants in the Worlds Series should be permitted to write about the games for the daily press. McGraw asserted that he pro poses to go ahead and write signed stories of the games, as in former years. Here are some of McGraw's views:
 Actors, dramatists, novelists, chor- us girls, and perhaps carpenters all cover the Worlds Series as special writers for the newspapers, but there the man who actually takes part in the games from putting his views on

1S87-Ike Weir and Johnny Murphy fought 17-round draw in Boston "Prof Murphy, a little 112-pounder, was boxing instructor at Harvard, and a big crowd of students were present to root for their favorite. The Bel fast Spider" also had a big following in Boston. The betting was brisk and thousands were wagered on the re- suit It was scheduled as a fight to a finish with three-fnch gloves, but the cops broke inbo the clubhouse during the 17th round and stopped the bout. Weir had set the pace all the way, and looked a sure winner, but the referee called it a, draw. Later that year Weir won the worlds feath herweight title.

paper. Maybe he might know some thing about what happened.
 The National Commission was moved to do this after several play CTS had contracted for their services. The excuse for the action was that the public was fooled because the stories were not written by the men who signed them. It was maintained that the fact that players were ern- ployed for this work was a reflection on the reporters.
 ''The reporters who protested must dislike competition. AS far as I am concerned nothing goes out over my name which does not contain my own views. I could not afford to take chances in such important series. And further, it is not my intention to break any contracts I may have made with the newspapers for the Worlds Series''

LOCAL HOOTERS CHEER M'AULIFFE
 TO RING VICTORY
(By Wagner.)

I
 The interior of Music hall, New Ha1- ven, last evening looked like Harry Quinns life saving station on a busy | night for all the head1iners in the sporting world were there They had 1 braved the terrors of the Elm City to see Young McAuliffe of this city bat | tie with Young OLeary of New York. A few minutes before midnight when the last gun had been fired the re- turns indicated that McAu1iffe had ] won by a large majority He showed his opponent up in a. Is. round en- -gagement and was never in trouble for a, minute. |
 O'Leary must have gone to the Emerald Isle by way of Jerusalem for his face was all to the Potash and Perlmutter He was an old bird, too, if one could judge by the black brush that decorated his map. So he was neither young nor O'Leary. But he was pretty cagey prospect proposi- ton at that. He moved around the ring at a. lively clip and was clever enough to make McAu1iffe miss ire fault the local boy showed durinng the evening".
 He was a trif1e over anxious at times and when he had O'Leary on the run he swung wildly, on some occasions almost throwing himself off
 
 ever, it was the best showing Mo AuIiffe has made in the ring. He had the hitting power and kept after O'Leary from the start. The blow was likely to come with either hand, indicating that the pride of East Bridgeport is a free hitter. Several times he backed O'Ieary against the ropes and the crowd how1ed for him to finish the New Yorker. but O'Leary was foxy enough to cover up. In the first two rounds McAuIiffe rushed his man around the ring. After that, however, O'Leary did better. Taking the entire IS rounds, though he was completely o1tc1assed by McAuliffe.
 The other good bout of the evening was a slugging affair in which those ancient battering rams, Bunny Ford and Dodo Maher, hurled punches at each other.
 It was a grudge fight apparently and if looks could kill there would have been a couple of murders in the ring. At the end of each round Maher gave Ford the coarse chuck1e and there were many verbal exchanges during the nixups. Maher gave Ford ter rife, beating. He laced uppercuts and swings on the chubby oneis counte- nance and when the final round wars over Bunny had both eyes almost closed and was bleeding profusely. Maher didn't have a mark and ran out of the ring to show how fresh he was. Ford although badly punished, didn't appear exhausted and in the last round slipped over some hot ones on Maher, who stalled through the round.
 The first bout was 9 disappointment Knockout Sweeney of New York was too much for Jack Martin of New York. Following several knockdowns Referee Fitzgerald stopped the slaugh- ter in the third stanza.
 The show was poorly conducted and many complaints were heard. There was a wait of nearly an hour between the first and second bouts. The an- nouncer finally said Ford and Maher were hagg1ing over half pound in weight. The referee generally had to rush out and find the gloves before each bout.
