 OF RING BATTLES


 1852-Tom Savers knocked out Jack Grant in 64th round at Afildenhal1, Suffolk The victor, who was destined to become champion of England and to fight for the world title with John C. Heenan, was an Irish Cockney,'' and was a bricklayer when he fought Grant Although he weighed only 1 4 O pounds, and was much younger and less experienced than his opponent, Savers forced the fighting for two hours and a half The. issue was still uncertain when the gEadiators toed the mark for the 9th tussle. in which Grant fen so heavily as to sustain i'm terna1 injuries which caused his sec onds to toss in the sponge. This bat tie brought Savers to the front as a. middIeweight. and the following year the Little Wonder captured the title of that division. In 1857 Savers be- came heavyweight champion. Jack Grant was famous for his battle with Mike Madden. in 1843. which lasted 14O rounds, nearly six hours.
 1911-Sam Langford defeated Jack Fitzgerald in Eth round at New York.
 191S-Jimmy Walsh and Ad zottee fought 1o-round draw at Salt Lake, Utah.

ROBINSON
 GETS THREE YEAR CONTRACT

The Brooklyn Superbas may be playing touch and go with the cellar, but that is no fault of WiIbert Rob inson, so at least says Charles H. Ebbets, president and chief owner of the Brooklyn team. Just to show how highly he thinks of Rob bie's managerial abilities, he offered him a contract covering 1915, 1916 and 1917.
 This of course, will set at rest those waggtng tongues which have long since placed Robinson in the Down and Out C1ub,'' and were busy spec ulating on his successor. Tn pass ing, it might be well to mention that Robbie lost little time in signing the papers
 Charles H. Ebbets, in making the announcement, declared that the Brooklyn fans were the most loyal in the world. He pointed to the well filled grandstand yesterday to bear out his statement. There are at least fifteen thousand, and the team is in seventh place, . said he. With a championship team we'll have to en- large the grounds.s

ST. LOUIS SHOULD HAVE CAPTURED WHOLE

 The 1 to 0 defeat sustained by Wal ter Johnson, the Chalmers ear win ner, on June 1 at the hands of A. Rankin Johnson, was the twenty third reverse he has suffered in the last three seasons. A majority of these came from Boston's one-time worlds champions, and Philadelphia present monarch of the baseball world.
 Of the twenty three defeats charged again Walter since the. opening of the 1912 campaign, the Athletics admin istered nine, the Red Sox six, the Maps three, the Browns -(with Ban Johnson's aid) two, the Yankees one
 In only two of these games was Johnson driven to cover, Chicago bat ting him out of the box in 1912 and Philadelphia in 1913. In no less than nine contests the Senators failed to make a run behind their star gun ner.

 There is quite a rumpus in the American league on account of the game which Washington forfeited to the Athletics last week. Connie Mack cut lose with birthstone interview in which he said Manager Griffith of Washington should be eliminated from baseball for his tactics As soon as the sporting writers had pen ned those few lines Griffith took a running jump and landed ,on Mack's family tree.
 Some of his remarks were: Con nie Mack Is a cheap skate. Connie is the cheapest man in the game. He. is sore because we always fight his team as we fight every other team. I suppose he thinks we should lie down and let him walk all over us and win a pennant without any trou- ble,'' We gather from this outburst that Griffith has turned Connie's pic- ture to the wall.
 The New York Giants second team appeared in Norwalk yesterday and beat Newburgh of the Atlantic league by to 3. George Mosher of this city played left field for Newburgh. He got a two bagger and was robbed of another long drive by fine catch made by the Indian. Jim Thorpe. On account of poor patronage in New burgh. the latter club will probably De rransterreo to NorWaAks rnsFeoy, giving Norwalk an Atlantic league franchise 8N
 The Brtdgeport club will not re- turn home unal Friday when Hart ford visits Newfield. The Senators always play good ball here.
 Those peaHinists who thought Pop Foster was ready for the junk heap will be surprised to learn that he has increased his batting average to 400. He is plaving first for York, Pa, of the Fri State league.
