FIRST FRENCH BOXER.

The first French pugilist, who was professionally known as Monsieur Petit" came to grief on this date, July 29th,l in 1751, when he was decisively defeated by Jack Slack, the champion of England. Boxing which has be- come so popular in recent years, was then unknown in France, and Petit turned pugilist while wandering through England with travelling show, with which he posed as a strong man. He was 6 feet inches in height and of gigantic stature. He displayed considerable aptitude for "le boxe,'' and defeated a number of Englishmen at their own game before he met Jack Slack in the village of Harleston. near. Norwich. At the be ginning of the bout the F'renchman seized Slack by the throat with one branwy hand and nearly choked him while beating his opponents face with his free hand Slack contrived to free himself, and after a short battle the Frenchman was knocked out of the ring. and refused to resume the bout. Of late years many French men, notably Georges Carpenter, have attained great proficiency in the fistfc form of combat. while on this side of the Atlantic several F'rench-Cana- dians and French-Americans inc1ud- ing George Lavigne and George La blanche, have achieved champion ships.

Indications are the Giants and the Athletics will tangle again next Oc- tober in their annual world series Students of baseball are looking for ward tos the expected contests keen1y, as the attendances drawn at these games should show pretty clearly whether the fans are tired of seeing John McGraw and 'tConnie'' Mack win the National and American league pennants, respectively, with such mo- notonous regularity, or whether they will continue to show enthugiasm sbe- cause the best team in each organiza- ton won out, regardless of past per- formances.
 It seems fortunate for organized baseball that New York and Philadel- phia happen to be the two cities fav- ored with so many pennant winning teams. Tn no other two cities prob ably could such big gate receipts be obtained.
 In the first place Philadelphial is the third largest city in the United States and being a good baseball town is better fitted to be coupled with the metropolis than any other city except Chicago. But the holding of the games in cities only ninety miles apart. with train service of less than two hours, means many
