SIGNAL To START
Mandot and Wolgast to Open
Boxing Season in Cream
City Arena Tonight. !;
BETTING FAv0Rs MAND0T
Frenchman is Favorlte at Odds Of
TO 5-Ad's Hands Are Still
Weak From Fractures. - :.

Joe Mandot, the Frenchman, and AID
Wolgast, the German, will box 10
rounds in Frank Mulkern's Dreamland
arena, Milwaukee, tonight, with George
Ryan, AN Irishman, as referee, In the
opening fight show Of the season. This
is the second meeting of the pair, a
near championship match hinges on
the outcome and a record crowd Is the
prospect, for this is state fair week in
the Cream city. Chicago, as usual, will
turn in its share Of the gate receipts,
reservations having been made for
some 1000 Chicago fans.
AS a slashing fight the match prom
ises to be one of the best ever, for
it will bring together rough and
ready exponent of the art against a
fancy boxer who has a wicked left
hand, and this has never failed to
produce nerve-racking contest. VOL
CAST has the punch and willingness,
Mandot the speed and cleverness, and
the odds favor the fancy stopper, Chi
cago enthusiasts wagering to 5 on
the southerner's chances.
Mandot Won First Go.
Back in 1912 when Wolgast was at
the top of the lightweight division, he
battled Mandot In New Orleans. No
decision was given, but the popular
verdict went to the home boy and the
Wildcat" has never forgotten the in
cident. 1t marked his decline as a
champion and it made Mandot. This
battle was one of the best ever held
in the south, with action every second
of the gong.
In the opinion of many experts, Man
dot is one of the few boxers who has
the edge ON the Dutchman before they
enter the ring. He has the ideal style
with which to battle the former title.
holder. a low crouch, and he keeps on
top of his man, which in this particu-
lar case will stand him good stead,
for it will handicap Ads most effec-
tive punch, a sweeping left.
WoIgast's Hands Weak.
While the Baker boy counts on win
ming this contest because of this, the
Wolgast followers say Joe will be I'M
able to penetrate Ads guards with any
degree of certainty unless he leaves
himself open for a typical Wolgast
cross. One punch, they say, is all AID
needs to settle the battle, and herein
lies another story.
1t has been a we'll known fact for
several months that Woigasts hands
are not what they should be. His
left thumb is weak and silver wires
have been used in patching it up, while
two of his knuckles are out of place.
On July 1 he cracked bone in his
left arm preparing for Rivers clash
on the coast, and the arm will get its
first real test tonight.

A Slam on GAINESVILLE.

JanesviIle, Wis, Sept. 1s.-The
GAINESVILLE high school football eleven
viii not be allowed to play this fall
in towns where liquor is sold. This
ruling was announced by Superintend-
ent II. c. Buell..
The athletic department has already
sent out letters 10 the schools at
Stoughto1, Evansville, Freeport and
Rockford, asking for games, as these
are the only cities near GAINESVILLE that
are dry" Teams coming from wet
towns may meet the GAINESVILLE eleven
on the home grounds, according TO
superintendent Buell..
The action of the school officials
comes as q result of alleged orgies on
the part of students and outsiders, who
accompany the team TO outside cities.

anything larger than a herring. Al
though the head is of enormous size,
from one-Quarter to one-third the

played by them this week that it pre-
scented last. incidentally the absence of
Cobb lessons the chances Of the Tigers
If the pitching against the Tigers is as
strong as it was against Cleveland ST
Louis and Chicago there is a good chance
for the locals to also win a majority of
the games from Jennings team.
Del Gainor. the first baseman. has been
sold to the Boston Red SoX. Gainor has
reported to Manager Carrigan and will
in all probability be in that teams line
up today Gainor may help the Bostons.
Clyde Engle has not come up to expec-
tatonS on the bag, and while he is to
be used as a utility player Carrigan be-
lieves that Ganor will be of more value
to the team than Engle as first base
man.
The sale of Gainor would indicate that
Jennings is satisfied that he has a su-
perior player in Burns. who has been
playing the bag for the Tigers this sea-
son and has shown a lot of ability as
hitter.
Ty Cobb will not take part in any
games of the Tigers series here. Ty is
at his home in Georgia with fractured
rib. caused by being hit by pitched
ball by Foster of the Boston team.
Hughey Jennings said this morning that
it would be some time before ~ coula
get back in the game, and he adIhitS
that Cobb's absence is proving great
handicap to his team.
Kavanaush and Burns, second base
man and first baseman. respectively. are
the two youngsters who nave changed
the Detroit team from loser TO
winner. The addition of this pair OF
capable youngsters has worked wonders
with the Detroit team.

a. train for Indianapolis Sunday. where
he will join the Kansas City team to,
day Gallia is pleased with the deal
which sent him to the minors because
he figures that a season in that com

Last Years Form

The figures given in the tables which
follow and which have been compiled
from the official tabulated scores ap-
bearing in The Star day by day from
the commencement of the season, give
the reader an accurate, concise and
complete record of the work performed
by each player composing the Nationals
team in the games contested with Bos'
ton. New York and Philadelphia, COM
prising the eastern division. and Chi
caso Cleveland and st. Louis of the
western circuit, in the race for the
championship pennant Of the American
League, including all games played up
to yesterday. During the week the Ma
tionals have played six games (three
with Cleveland and three with st.
I,ouis) and in these contests they were
victorious in five and were defeated in
one, which they lost by errors.
Milan Still Leading Batsman.
Milan, the Linden (Tenn.) lad, still
continues to be the leading batsman OF
the team. and in the six games played
during the week he has been at bat
twenty-three times and made nine hits,
a percentage of .391. and in the thirty
one games he has played he has been
at bat 119 times and made forty hits.

points behind Joe Jackson. the leader
of the league, who has $3.50. and is in
fourth place. Milan also leads in total
bases and in base stealing. having pur-
Joined fourteen bases in the last twenty
games
Gandil continues to lead the team in
fielding, having accepted 269 put-outs
and 81 assists. and has made but 1
error, which was made in the game that
was lost to St. Louis. Some of his
chances have bordered on the sensa-
tional. and there is no doubt that he is
the leading first baseman in the Amer
lean League.
