ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES


 182s-BiH Cousens defeated Deaf Burke in 101 rounds, lasting hours and minutes, at Whetstone, Eng. lem Burke, commonly called Deaf, :. was an Irishman. and had previously fought and won six battles while Cousens had engaged in but two bare fist bouts, in both of which he was victorious. Bill was a clever man with the gloves, and Burke had also at. stained considerable proficiency in sparring with mittens, so the 10000 fans expected to see a scientific ex- hfbition: The Deaf 'Un was disap- pointing, for he had lacked the money to train properly. but he was game to the core. While the battle was in progress he begged for g. drink of whiskey from a sport at the ring side, and hezbecame so exhilarated that for 5st.faW moments he had Cousons aI- most down and out Then the effects of the booze wore off, and Cousens beat him down. Burke afterward be- came champion of England and ranks as one of the great men of boxing.

 Baseball luck.' robbed the New York Highland Of whatever chance theyfhad Of beating Jimmy Callahan's White sox in the second game of the series3at the Polo Grounds yesterday. And itewas s.baseball luck that open sed the way for the High1anders to score their only run of the afternoon's proceedings

 As sCrees advanced the plate the aiIderowd jumped to it's feet and began sto w1oop things up in a most delightfu1 manner. They pleaded with Birdie to come through with the necessary hit, hut while lodging an inshoot the ball struck Creess bat and rolled between first and second. -Four ner fpounced upon the ball and retired aCress for the nna1 out giving the Sox the svkctory by the score of to l.

GOOD FEDERAL RAGE
 DRAWS POOR CROWDS

Presiden Gi1more's assertion last week that the Chicago, Baltimore and Indianapolis Feds, holding the first three places were making more money than the first three clubs in either the American or National League has stirred up hornets nest. Leaders of organized baseball say that Gilmore is dreaming. They declare that there is little or no public interest in the Feds race, and they back up their opinion in this way:
 Hast week the Chicago and Ba1ti- more Feds were fighting for first place. They played a game in Chi cago on Tuesday which drew less than l. 200 persons, including deadheads. On Wednesday Tinker's club won and took first position. That game was witnessed by less than 1,5o0 persons including free passes. This indicates how little increase Chicago fans are taking in the Gilmore circuit. We have a complete record of paid at tendance at Indianapolis and ,Balti- more both of which are losing money in large quantities.
 In the National League alone it is estimated that the Giants will clear S175, 900. with $100,060 in profits for the Braves, and at least $6O,000 for the Cardinals. The Athletics, Red Sox and Washingtons in the American League all will declare dividends. 4
