with the clevelander. Kline declares he will stop KiIbane inside of fifteen rounds, if he consents to meet him in a twenty-round decision battle for the title in a California ring.
 Not to- be caught mapping in tue condition thing, Kline has accepted $500 offer to box six rounds with George Chaney, whom he defeated over. the tweIve-round trail recently at Chaney's home, Baltimore, before the National A. c. of Philadelphia, Sat urday, Sept. 26.
 ''Hlbane is going to be the feather weight champion until he is 100 years old,'' declares Cur1ey, he's never go- ing to take a chance fighting in de- fenso of the title. He'll fight plants and soft marks in no decision bouts, but when it comes right down to mak- ing a asnatch with boy like Kline, or Dundee, who can fight he finds way out.''
 Besides that, Kilnane conpe1s ev- eryboy he fights to go in at 122 lbs, while he enters the ring at catch weights. He seldom weighs less than 12S pounds. Now, isn't that a, fine way for a champion to act?.
 ''NIbane's real reason for not want ing to fight Kline is because he re- members that bout in California, when Patsy dropped him for the count, too weu.''

GIANTS STOP BRAVES
 FROM CLINCHING FLAG

Patrons Of the drama were given a real treat at the Polo Grounds yester- day afternoon.
 With 5000 hardy fans looking on, McGraws forlorn hopes gave the P1- rtes two of the neatest trouncings the Giants have delivered in some timee In the first fracas, the Last Chance crew whipped the Corsairs Into sub mission by to 2. and in the sunset engagement, which was limited to six innings because of darkness, the Ci- ants rose in their might as of yore. and whaled out 1S-to-6 victory. It was the first doub1e-header the Giants won in a long while.
 AIcGrawis men know that there is no chance oH heading off the Braves. but they want to stave off Boston's pennant--clinching day as long as pos sible. and they went at the Pirates hammer and tongs from bell to bell, Tn the meantime the Stallings aggre- gation defeated Chicago. Had the Gi- ants dropped both games, 1t would have been all over for a certainty.
 And above all the hu1aba1oO, let us not pass over the fact that Rube Mar Quard won a game yesterday After dropping twelve in 3, row, Rube faced a hercuIean task of attempting to get over the unlucky thhreen bonder. and that he finally broke into the winning column was not any fault of his own

JAMES NOW BEST BOxMEN
 IN NATIONAL

Pitcher James of the Boston Braves has at last come into his hard-won honors as the king or the National 1eae1Ie staff of hurlers, his doughty opponent of the Cardinals, Doak. hay ing dropped a game to Brooxiyns on Saturday. The fact that Mamaux of Pittshurg nominally sits at the head
 of the. list does not in any wey detract from the credit due to the Braves star since the Pirate pitcher has per formed in only five games in which lie was responsible for the results. while James has pitched in s2.
 The seasons performance of James is good bit more i11ustri ous than. that of his St. Louis rival Doak had no long stretch of consecutive wins, while James in mid-season had nine in a row to his credit and has now equaIed that performance since lis last break, Aug 22. The only in iterruption in his string of victories since he took his new start was tho thrilling tie battle with Dolk that hal t0 be stopped after the 13th tr ming.
 IF Is to be noted that another Brave pitcher, Rudolph, Is s1so going, along at a mighty speedy pace While not so high in percentage of gamer won as James, he had the better straight win record for the season, Il having been hung up for him before he was stopped He Is also after a. repetition of that achievem ent, with only three more to go.
 SMaranville's chances for beating out the record of chances accepted by ehortstops appear to be very bright. He now has 911 tackled to his name and has II games in which to gain the needed 45 to get into the hall of fame Speaker will surely beat the record of outdeId chances accepted of 424. having now 123 Connolly can not cop the record for highest percen- fage for left felders of -9s7. His er- TOT in Saturdays game reduced his fine average by five points and lie will not get into enough games this season to recover the lost ground.

LYMAN WINS
 FROM HOPPE
 AT BILLIARDS

Melbourne Inman, champion billiard ist, English style of play, beat Willie Hoppe, champion balk-liner, by 6O2 to BOA in the ball room of the Hotel As tor, New York, last night, to the as- tonishment of a large and fashionable gathering.
 Hoppe gave evidence that there Is one game at which he can be van- quished, and while the experts eonced- ed that the Briton would be victorious at his style of play, the, average devo- tee of Billiards, accustomed to see Hoppe win with such monotonous ire quency, could hardly believe his eyes
 As Inman progressed in the game It was seen that he had mastered the main feature of the pastime, which consists of caroming from an object ball and pocketing the cue ball Tn this respect Inman is in command Of the situation

BUNNY FORD
 PUT AWAY BY
 FRANKIE MACK
CNew Haven Journal-Courier.)

(New Haven Journal Courier.)
 Bunny Ford. for years the, pride of Connecticut dstinia, was knocked out in the fifth round of a scheduled 20- round bout at the Casfna, New Haven, last night, the feature event of the opening card of the season, presented under the auspices of the Annex Attn 1etic club. Frankie Mack, the Boston flash, administered the bitter pill. Ford was knocked down five times in the first round. again in the second. and fate did its deadly work after two min utes of fighting in the fifth stanza. Mack held the whip hand throughout the IA minutes of battling.
 In the serni-windup.s Johnny (Kid) AIberts of Elizabeth, N. J., easily out pointed K o. Pa.Iitz, of New Lond or Brown and Mickey Doherty, both of New Haven, resulted in a victory, on points for Brown.
 The result of the Mack-Ford bout was one of the biggest surprises sprung in sporting circles in years. Although general opinion prevailed that Mack would win, few entertain led an idea that he would put his oppo- nent to rout so early in the battle,
 After Mack had captured honors with pfenty to spare in the fourth the boys entered on the fifth round, which later proved to be the finish of Ford. Mack tried hard for a knockout and peppered Ford's unprotected body with a volley of rights and 1efts and the latter stood there helpless. This was followed with a left hook to the jaw and Ford went down for the last time.
 His head struck the floor heavily but he managed to get up in a. dazed condition. With his arms hanging TSy his sides Ford was Wav> to his corner a badly beaten boy. Ford was loudly app1auded however, after suf- fering the most decisive setback of his careef.

 This matter was srnoothed over, ac- cording to inside gossip in the Federal League, and the great Washington pitcher whose contract with the Sem ators expires at the end of this season. will be lined up with the Brooklyn team at the start Of next season. When Ward was told that President Gilmore admitted Johnson had been signed by Brooklyn, he merely laughed and said the league leader should know what he was talking about.
 According to the report emanating from Chicago, Charley Dooin is to lead the Broolxfeds next season, succeeding Bill Bradley, butt this statement does not appear plausible, for Bradley has proved himself capable Federal League manager to date.

SAMUEL SOLOMAN
 LOCAL JEWELER
 ROBBED YESTERDAY

Samuel soloman, a jeWeler of 1908 stratford avenue, returned shortly. af4 ter 4 o'clock yesterday after an ab- sence of three hours, to discover that burglars had entered his store and made away with jewels valued at more than s1, ,000.
 SoIoman immediately reported his loss, but police investigation failed to secure clues that were definite. Ac- cording to Soloman, he had to leave the store. He did not believe it neces- sary to lock the safe, owing to the large number of pedestrians who con tinually pass Valuable gems were left in unprotected places, and the door of the safe was wide open
 He returned to discover many of the choicest gems in the store gone, and immediately notified the police. Solo, man believes he left the rear door of the store open, but neighbors who live in the vicinity, and who command a view of the place, declare they saw no one enter. None saw anyone in

Gene McCann, manager of the New London baseball club and the only minor league manager with the dis tinction of having a strike wished on him, was in the city yesterday. He permitted himself to be interviewed regarding the trouble among the New London players. McCann had a. $1,eeO check from Owner Plant, in his pocket so he didn't care what became of him.
 eeWaIter Ahearn will never catch another game for me- declared Mo Cam. tHe's a smart catcher all right, but the trouble is, he knows he's smart He was one of the ring leaders in taking those players to Plainfie1d for that Sunday game that in New London are sore on that whole. bunch who threw Mr.. Plant down by playing that Sunday game, and you can bet that none of that crowd will play for New London again.
 .eThe fellow some folks think is a nut was the one who worked hardest to win that post season series with Lawrence. Bill Powers is the man I mean. He pitched his head off in that final game and it wasn't his fault we lost regard Powers as the headiest pitcher in this league. He's a great man with runners on the bases.
 Powers didn't lose anything by treating MT. Plant right He and thei others who kept out of that Sunday mixup got $48 more out of the post season receipts. And the ingrates lost that benefit game. too"

WHY DID YALE LET
 ENWRIGHT GET AWAY?

Tom Enwright is duly enrolled at Harvard for the coming season. and 1t will always be a question to many just how 1t was that Yale allowed such fine athlete to get away from New Haven. In the past the Blue has always been strong for tae athlete of the brainy kind, and how it was that Yale allowed Harvard to put one over in the securing of the former Esx- eter crack will always be a hard one to explain.
 For the past couple Of years it has been a Brickley that has been Q. thorn In the side of the Blue. but now ac- cording to all indications it looks as soon as Brickley hangs up those mole. skins. that it will be an Enwright who will be ready to take his place.

 Suspicion falls upon a. man who at tempted to pass bogus check for $175 on Soloman at his other store on East Main street a few days ago, but as. the police are unable to find any one who saw a, man answering his de- scription in the vicinity yesteroay, they are inclined to believe that. the robbery was committed by persons well acquainted with the premises and the neighborhood The police are still en- deavoring to locate the man who at- tempted to pass the check.
