Reich to beat Smith at this stage of his career would be asking altogether too much from the boy even though he looks like one of the most pronlts- ing members of the younger division.
 Reich, if he had more experience, would probably. make a sucker of the Gunboat At least in 9 short bout. Whether he would go a long distance in another matter. In these days boxers consider twenty rounds the ex- treme limit of a humans endurance. When I began it was fashi enable to fight until one was beaten. I wonder what some of the present crop of milk-fed youngsters would think of a proposition to fight to a finish.
 However, to get back to earth, Reich Hooks more like the ideal boxer and fighter than any man who has shown in years While not so big as Willard or Morris he is hefty enough to am swer the purpose and his build is much more adapted to the needs of the game than that of either Carl or Jess. In other words, Reich ought to make good with capital ''G" if he has the right sort of spirit Only time will prove that. In the match with Morris he was criticised severely and accused. Of cowardice, but if was the fellows behind him who should have been banned. Take any boy, and send him against an experienced
 
 fly a third-rater-al the result might be just the same. sExper- fence is quite as essential to the sue cess. of a professional boxer as it is to a. man in any kind of business, and thefefore contend that it would be a sucker play to send Reich in the ring with Smith now He might lick hirns he may be ripe, but in my humble opinion Al has a long way to go before he should be matched with the hard hitting Smith.
 If Smith refuses to box Willard ii would be. a splendid idea for local matchmakers to put him on with Frank Moran. Frank is due over here any day now. according to ad- vices from abroad. and the match with Johnson, while poor one, was an excellent advertisement for, the young Pittsburgher inasmuch as he stayed with the s'srnoke'' for the linn it.
 Smith and Moran ought to draw pretty well here, where Moran has liked. The Gunboat is @ sure enough card any time he starts. While neither man may be of champions calibre, their styles would contrast sharply enough to make 1t an inter esting battle and one that would make the sports turn out in fairly large numbers
 Also it would give us real good line on one J. Johnson. Although the champions showing with Moran in Paris ought to be eloquent enough testimony that the big black has shot his bolt.

 In the first game PittsheId put the contest on ice in the second inning when it drove in five runs, making half a. dozen hits for total of 10 bases off Tuckey. Taylor was touched up hard, but lie kept the hits scatter ed. Bob" Troy, who has been suf- fering from a lame arm for the past month, went into the box in the second game and opposed McCabe, a, young ster. He went well until the eighth. Up to the fifth not a, hit was made off Troy. Two came in the fifth and two in the seventh. In the eighth Bridge port made four hits off Troy and tied the score.
 With two men on Rettig relieved Troy and two two-baggers sent in three more runs. Pittsburgh could do nothing in the scoring line after the sixth inning. McCa'be was hit hard in the fifth and sixth.

McGin, president of the Indianapolis Club, would not object to Hendricks' going to Chicago.
 Hendricks told friends some time ago he had an opportunity to succeed O'Day, but would not leave McGm, with whom he has been associated for years. But the report that McGiI1 may buy an interest in the Cubs may change Hendricks mind

FIX DATES FOR
 WORLDS SERIES


 During the meeting Of the National Commission in Chicago on Wednesday it was tentatively agreed to fix Satur- day, October 10, for the first game of the worlds series whether the Giants or Braves meet the Athletics for the big title. If the Braves are successful the series will begin at Fenway park Athletics will open at the Polo Grounds
 The other dates fixed by the commits sion are October 12, 13, A. 15 and 16, if the series requires seven games. In case the Braves participate it is planned to play the first two games tina Boston on October 10 and 12. with an overnight jump to Philadelphia for two games on October 1S and 14. But as-in former years, in case of drawn games or rain, the contending teams must remain in the city until the post ponement has been played off. The American and National league schedules wind up on Wednesday, Oc- tober T. The Athletics play the Yan- kees in Philadelphia on that day, while the Giants meet the ,Phillies at the Polo Grounds and the Braves wind up the campaign with the Dodgers at Ebbets Field. According to the com missions plans the participants in the worlds series, therefore, will have two days of rest before beginning the big struggle.
 The receipts will be cut up under former conditions. The players share will be 50 per cent of the money taken in for the first four games, to be di- vided on the basis of 60 per cent to the winners and 40 per cent to the losers. Of the balance 90 per cent will go to the club owners, equally split, and 10 per cent to the commission. In the re- Gnaining games, 90 per cent of the coin will be divided f1fty-dfty by the

The Eastern association season closes today. There is no excitement at the finish because New London had a cinch on the flag Waterbury holds second place and Bridgeport third. The Bolts did well to retain this posi- tion considering the strength of their rivals. They have played steady ball all season and although there was not much power in the team the boys made the most of their chances. Man ager Bou1tes is entitled to credit for his fine work. Hartford in fourth and Springfield in fifth are only a few points ahead of PittsheId in sixth place. Today'sI results may change them around. New Haven is anchor ed in seventh and,New Britain holds last place.
