 There were numerous features, chief of which was the pitching of Town send. who established a, league pitch ing record in flaming fifteen men, and holding the opposition to a, brace of safe blows. McElroy held him up in big league style, and Donnellys and Halapin did the bulk of the hitting.

BOXING NOTES
(Rv T. S. Andrewal

Unless some of the lightweight stars, who have been getting big guarantees and purses in the past, come to a req lization of the fact that they will have to come off their high perch this fall and winter, they are liable to be with out important matches. The promot- CTS, not only in the United States but ins other countries, have been giving unreasonable guarantees, until they have. reached that point where they refuse to go any further-fhat is, re- garding guarantees. With practically the bulk of the lightweight stars in the States, or headed for the States, the coming season should prove to be a. banner one for this class of boxers, but, as stated before, it depends a great deal upon the fighters them selves. Only a week ago Freddie Welsh; and his manager, Harry Pol lock, cabled from London to a Mill waukee promoter stating that they would like to arrange matches with Ritchie, White and Wolgast, but ask ing for big guarantees. They were notified that there would be no guar antees and the indications are that other promoters about the country will do likewise when it comes to giving the fighters all the best of it. Even Johnny T1l1man of Minneapolis, a lightweight who is just coming to the front, turned down a guarantee, of S1,5UU TOT a match Kay Temple before a club at Hudson, Wis, and demanded a guarantee of $2,500 with a privilege. This could not be con- sidered as a high class contest and shows how unreasonable the demand is. Similar eases can be cited in all the boxing centers of the United States
 and it is up to the fighters and their
 managers to show that they want to
 act in fair manner with the promo 1 ters; otherwise they are liable to be
 out of pocket at the end of the sea-
 son. The lightweights have been in popular favor during the past year,
 but there is such a thing also as a
 promoter cateriig to other classes an d thus discount the value of the light weights Even Snowy Baker, the Aus
 tra1fan promoter, has taken the hunch
 and has cabled to his representative here to be careful and not go to ex- trenes in giving SSarantees. Thts only goes to prove that even a, conservative
 man like Baker has become tired of l being held up for big guarantees with
 privileges. It is about time that some 1 of these stars took chance with the promoters. They are worth just what
 they can draw at the gate and no
 more.

BOLTS LOSE DOUBLE BILL.
 TO ELECTRICS
Home Boys Outciassed In Open ing Game-Unable to Bunch Hits in Second.
(By "o1d Man Grump.")

Before a crowd of 2.00O loyal fans the Bolts yesterday dropped both games of g. double-hea.der to Pitts fields at NewfieId Park. Dick Tuckey the pride of Watson's Corner twirled the first game for the locals and he was pounded for fifteen hits, while Taylor of the opposition allowed but four scattered b1ngles. Buster" Bow man was the shining star for the Bolts while Phillips and Cronin carried off the honors for the EIectrics. The first game was rather 1istless from a. home fans point of view as Taylor was never in danger. The second game was a norker, Pittsf1e1d securing a. three run lead in the fifth inning looked like an other sure winner. but the Bolts threw a scare into the Zellarttes in the sixth and eighth but the best they could do was to seore one run in each of the aforementioned innings Manager Jake selected Gervais to do the. hurting for the locals in this set-to, while Jack Cellar of the visitors pilo&ed a, young ster to the mound by the immortal name of James.
 James, while not the equal of his famous namesake, got away with a victory, although he was batted all ov- CT the lot, and was as wild as g. hawk in the opening rounds. Lefty pitched good enough to win any game while he also shone at the bat, sconnecting g
 
 8 single batter, and famed eight of the Electrics. He pulled a. bone in the fifth inning, however. which rath- CT rattled the fans in 'frooters' row. Bobby Stow drove a, single to center field, advancing Lefty from second to third and on the first ball pitched Bobby attempted to steal second, thinking that Lefty being fleet of foot, would assist him by attempting to score. Eddie Bridges lined the sphere to Cronin to catch Bobby and there was our noble Gervais standing f1at-footed a. foot away from third base. Bobby danced up and down the ssaisle'' between first and second for a full minute. and Lefty absolutely refused to move, but as luck would have 1t, SoInerIot n11ffed the ball and Stow got safely back to first.
 Outside of this, Lefty was o. K. and said before he certainly de- served to win.
 James was in a dangerous position in the ninth, when Gervais opened the inning with his third single of the game and after Stow flew out, made third on Bowman's two bagger. With only one down and a man on second and third, our chances looked fine, but Gervais was thrown out at the plate on Senno's grounder to Fry sock, and the best that the old re- liable Billy Hal1man, could do was to lift a long fly to, left field.

SOME RECIPES FOR
 ATHLETIC SUCCESSES


 In explaining the why and where fore of the methods by which he pulled the much-mangned St. Louis Browns out of the American League cellar, Manager Branch Hickey ex- cogitated from his dome of thought a few thinks which contain some excel lent advice for all young men who de- sire to shine as athletes-and, for that matter, for all men, young or old,f who desire to succeed at any thing.
 Most people" remarked MT. Rick ey, have an idea that I have a rule ridden club. There are no rules on my club which apply to every man In the same way. gave them the dope straight about cigarettes. No cigarette dend can do good work for any length of dme. I showed them that it would detract from their earn ing power. I said I supposed that all of them wanted to make as much money as possible. said that I did, and that we would all go up together if they left cigarettes alone. Of more serious excesses Ispoke more strong 1y. A man with his mind on 1ooser things cannot succeed in his work. So far as booze goes, I did not say very much. All ball players of today know what they does for a fellow, and they all know no club will keep a drunk ard or even a man who is helpless be- fore alcohol. I merely said that I supposed all of them knew that booze was dead in this club the same as in others. Aside from the standpoint of right and wrong, all vices hurt their health and curtai1 their earning pow CTS, and for that reason are stabooed here.''
 There's sound sense in that, gentle men. Sermons that appeal to a man s higher nature and seek to arouse his spiritual essence, but you need to land stiff one ker-plunk in a mans ten derest spot, which is his pocketbook to really get him going. Professional athletes of all sorts are beginning to realize this.
 can remember when practically all professional boxers were souses, and took old John Bar1eycorn as their trainer. Just the other day read thata George IaBlanche, the French Canadian boxer who was middle weight champion Of the world some twenty-five years ago, is now down and out and all in from booze. I could name several former champions and -champ ons, who made for tunes in their day, who are now on the ragged edge, physically, mentally, morally and financially, from living the fast live. Booze nearly got that tough Old Roman, John L. Sullivan, but when John was groggy and hang ing on the ropes. with John Barley corn, twisting his cruel face, poised for the knockout punch, Sullivan came to life and put every remaining g ounce of his strength into a blow that landed on the red beak of Mister 1 BarleYcorp and stretched him out for
