Kid Williams of Baltimore is the
new bantamweight champion.
Johnny CouIon, former pride of
Logan Square, is absolutely through,
and after his showing in Los Angeles
last night can not hope to cope even
with the second raters.
couIon took as decisive beating
as was ever handed a champion. He
lasted two rounds and a half and
never even slowed Williams up with
a hard punch. He had no defense and
Williams Immediately went to work
and pounded the champions kidneys.
1t wasn't a fight. 1t was a mas
sacre.
CouIon's star doesn't set in a blaze
of glory. He let glowing stories of
his wonderful condition come from
his training camp. According to these
bunk yarns, Johnny was in the best
condition of his career: Fortunate
ly few people we're influenced to bet
much money on him. The fake stuff
boosted the gate and helped Coulon
swell his last big purse.
Williams only got 81 500, as he had
to pay Coulon $1,000 to fight him.
No one will have to pay the Balti-
morean to give them fight.
He's a real champion.

KID Mccoy, former top-notch middle

last week. IT'S all brute strength now

trouble with the average boxer these
days 10 that he does not think. He Is
dull In the upper works. Most OF them
think OF one position only. the crouch.
In my day we used different posi-
tions. according TO the sort OF fellow
we had for an opponent. The crouch
is all right against a shorter tighter.
but II IL not good policy TO crouch
and make ones height or reach less
when opposed to a tail fellow.

BOWIE RACE TRACK
ALMOST COMPLETED
Inaugural Meeting on New Maryland
Course viii Open on October /.
Liberal Purses Offered.

Baltimore. Aug. 2s.-The new race track
which the Southern Maryland Fair Asso-
citation is building near Bowie, in Prince
George County, Maryland, is rapidly ap-
preaching completion, and by October I.
when the inaugural meeting opens, will
be fit to the hour. The track is already
graded and will be ready to race over in
a week. The grand stand and stables
are well under way, and by September
10 accommodations for 800 horses will be
ready.
The track is situated in a beautiful
spot and when II is entirely completed
will be one OF the most attractive courses
in the country. 1t Is the regulation. mile
track with seven-eishths chute.
The course Is about thirty minutes
ride from Baltimore and twenty from
Washington. Trains will take patrons
direct to the back Of the grand stand
The stables being put up are OF a con-
venient and substantial character being
built on the order OF the Walden and
Clyde stables at Pimlico. The grand
stand and other appointments will be
entirely modern.
In the matter OF purses there will be
none less than 500. Handicaps Of $500
will be offered. HOrsemen can ship d.
rect to the track at any time after Sep
tember 10.
The association had Intended to race
from September 10 TO 90 coming in
directly after Belmont Park, but Havre
de Grace, leasing its track to the Har-
ford Farmers Association, took the same
dates, so that the Southern Maryland
people were forced TO race against either
Havre de Grace, Laurel or Pimlico, and
they have chosen To take on Laurel and
make the issue a straight out fight be-
tween the books and the machines

the great trio Of pitchers-and Maran-
vile.
= Chief among his attractions Is the man
ner in which he catches a fly. He dashes
after IL and then stands looking up at
IL as il descends. His arms lie loosely
at his sides. He doesn't set himself a
particle There is no turning around in
circles. The ball comes down rapidly. II
nears him. faster and faster.
Just as II comes on a level with his
head he puts his hands together at his
waist and nonchantly catches IT, He is
the only star in captivity who seines
ball in this remarkable manner.
Fans gasp when he performs the stunt
They are always looking for him to drop
it-but he apparently never does.
a fly goes up his direction Wise ones
nudge their neighbors and exclaim:
Watch him now When the catch is
made they ChuckIe and applaud.
This program is faithfully carried out
every time They count II as a day lost
IL Maranvflle doesn't have a chance at a
fly.
In the last inning OF Tuesdays battle
Maranville made two OF these catches.
On the last attempt he went into left
field. and as he got the final out, he
waved TO his mates on the bench. II was
the same as II he had hollered: It's all
over. boys. Come along"
Maranville gets a grounder unlike other
shortstOps- He gathers up the ball IN a
most unconcerned fashion and can whip
IL across at fearful speed. One has to
wonder where he gets the strength Buck
Weaver has nothing on him
II a graphic description Is necessary
We would say he squatted, dropped his
hands 10 the ground and let the ball
strike them There is no jerk to his
movements, no effort whatever.
Then, when he is at the bat. How in
sam hill does he hit the ball anyway?
He has a short. heavy stick something
Ike the one Ed Sweeney Of the Yankees
employs. This he holds In the middle so
that about a foot and a half is left to
crack the ball And it's no infrequent
thing TO see him whale a double or a
triple.
The lad has all sorts of pep and works
like a whirIwind with Evers around sec

SAILOR OF KENTUCKY
A FINISHED SWIMMER
Alexander Peters Awarded Gold Medal
by Philadelphia Club for Cow
ering One Hundred Miles.
HE HAS A BRILLIANT RECORD

Alexander Peters, forty-siK years old
IL happy. Recently he finished swimming
100 miles and was awarded a gold medal
by the Philadelphia Swimming Club. Al
though he has been awarded medals and
honors for good conduct. life-saving.
craftsmanship. and other meritoriOus
performances in the course Of his many
years of service in Uncle Sans navy,
Peters prizes the natatorial medal most
highly.
The fact that Peters weighs ls5 pounds
in swimming condition. and when not in
training tips the beam at 30. makes his
feat the more remarkable. Then. too, his
weight Is crowded into five feet eight
inches OF human frame.
Chief Peters, who Is a gunners mate
on the United States battIeship Kentucky,
now stationed at League Island. is a
Russian by birth. but is very proud OF
the fact that he Is a naturaliZed Ameri-
can citizen. He has given the best years
OF his life to this country's service, in
Guiding active service in the Spanish
American war Of 1898 and the Philippine
campaign Of iS9-l9Oo
Although Peters has been a member OF
the swimming club for about three years,
he was not able to do so much SWIM
ming heretofore. on account OF being so
often at sea and in foreign ports. This
year. however. the ship has been longer
IN port, and the sailor swimmer took
every opportunity on his shore leave
with the result that he logged up over
100 miles in five weeks, or an average Of
twenty miles each week.
Peters is Of powerful frame, with big
and deep chest. swims a strong and very
steady overarm side stroke. and in dis
tances Of fve miles or more can out
swim most Of the mileage swimmers OF
his club. He frequently swims from the
bridge at COnshohocken 10 the dam at
Shawmont. and there turns around and
swims back again to the club wharf, \
distance OF six and half miles. Some
times he repeats the performance twice
In one day.
Before a long swim he consumes
half dozen raw eggs, shaken up with
cottonsced oil. and greases his body for
long Immersions with olive oil. Follow
ing one OF his big days efforts in the
water, the swimmer ate eighteen raw
eggs, which Is his chief diet before and
after swimming.
The medal Peters will get from the
swimming club will make the seventh Of
his collection. the other six being awarded
as follows: Medal from the United States
government for good conduct while serv-
ing on the battleship Kansas, with an
added bar for similar merit while on the
Missouri; a sharpshooting medal for pro-
hciency in 1911; medal for service In
Philippine campaign, lS99-l9OO: also one
for service in Spanish-American campaign
of 1895; one for heroism in attempting the
saving OF Cecil YounE's life an ordinary
seaman. September 10, 1904, and a very
rare medal from the Gar of Russia for

embossed thereon.

of the Gnfs.
HAS THE ARCHER STYLE

Joe Geibel. product Of the local sand
lots. has developed into one Of the best
young catchers in the game today. This
statement was made recently by Bill
Armour. manager Of the Kansas City
Blues, who has had Geibel doing the ma
jority OF the backstopping this season In
the American Association
"Geibel has all the earmarks Of being
another WaIly Sehang. He has one Of
the best whips have ever seen on a
youngster, his receiving ID right up to
the mark. and his hitting has improved
wonderfully this year. One more season
IN the association will just about TX him,
so that he Will be able to get OF to a n.y.
ing start in the big show. for know he
is going up said Armour
Geibel was drafted by the Athletics last
year from the Savannah club Of the South
Atlantic League but was farmed out
TO Kansas City. He is not the property
OF the Athletics, as has been supposed
for some time. as Owner Tebeau Of the
Blues purchased his release early in the
season. foreseeing the day when GeIbel
will command a good price in the baseball
market.
Jimmy Sheckard, pilot of the cleve-
land Bearcsts. Is another manager who
predicts a bright future for the Wash
fngton boy. Sheckard says that Geibel
reminds him Of Jimmy Archer in action,
as the local boy has the same snappy
peg. same squat and almost the same
style receiving
Geibel is hitting at .24s clip, and is
improving every day. Working with
Bert Gallia, former National. Geibel has
improved 100 per cent, and now Gallia
and Geibel. known as the Big G" bat
terry in Association ball, are perhaps
the most popular pair in the league
Geibel is a big favorite in Kansas
City. His willingness TO work at all
times has earned him a hos; Of friends
among the fans. and he has worked in
close to s. games this season.
One Of the chief asserts Of Geibel at
the present time is his speed Joe Is
one OF the few catchers in game today
who is able to get around the bases
fast
II would not be surprising to see
Geibel a member of the Maps next
year. as it seems certain he will be
drafted.
