PIVOT FLOW WON TITLE FOR LABLANCHE 25
 YEARS AGO TODAY

Among the many, novel punches
 used iby pugi1ists, one of the most deadly was the pivot b1ow-was. be cause it is now barred as foul. Just
 quarter of century ago today Aug ust 27, 1889, the pivot blow won the middleweight championship for George LaBlanche, the Canadian box er,t in a battle with Jack Dempsey in San Francisco. Dempsey had become lightweight champion in 1882 by whipping George FsuIIpaInes, another Canadian pugiIist, and in 1886 he be- came the recognized top-notcher of the middleweights by stopping ack
 Fogarty and George LaBlanche. The
 first session between the sFrench1Ca-
 nadian and the 1rishman was pulled
 off at Larchmont, near New York, and
 was with essed by a, classy crowd of Gotham's sports A world S middle
 weight championship belt was hung
 up. and the New York A c. offered a
 purse of $1,500, while the packers of
 the men were alleged to have put up $10.000 a, side. Very small gloves were used, and the combatant punished
 each other, severely The Canadian was the aggreSsor in the first few rounds, but Jack finally wore him down, and in the thirteenth chapter put over knockout. It was not until 1889 that LaBlanche again challenged for the title, and the biggest chunk
 of coin ever put up for a. mtddleweight
 battle in America. Sports from all over
 the Pacific coast, and not a few from the East witnessed the bout. They
 fought vicious1y, but Dempsey had a l decided shade up to the thirty second
 and final round. Tn the twenty fifth the Canadian tried his famous pivot | blow, but failed to connect. In the thirty-second chapter. when La Blanche was apparently in distress, he suddenly whirled around with his left out straight, and the glove landed
 square on the NonpareiFs jaw. send ing him down fpr the count Ea.- l Blanche refused zto meet Jack again, but he claimed the title until 1891, | when he was put away by Young
 Mitchell in San Francisco. The title then reverted to Dempsey, who lost it | to Bob Fitzsimmons. George La
 Blanche's real name was George Blais, and he was born at Point Levi, Que | bee. where Wo1fe's batteries were 1 planted in the English conquest of the old capital of Canada He was popu- l Iar1y known as Marine George shav- ling served in the United States Ma
 rines, where he began his boxing ca- reer by beating the picked men of the navy. His last appearance in the
 ring. was in 1898, at Toledo, when he quit in the fourth round of a bout with Bert Woods.

 STOPS GIANTS
 LOSING STREAK


 St Louis Mo- Aug. 27.-Christy Mafhewson. pitching one of the, best games of his career, yesterday halted the slump. Of the Giants when he stop ped the Cardinals in the second game of a double header and gained an even break for McGraw's men,.
 ss5Iatty'' shut out the Cardinals on two hits.s Late in the game his mates hammered in the four runs that spelled victory.
 The Giants lost the first game, all though Marquard pitched nearly as good a game as sNatty.'' Doak hurled a shutout for St. Louis, allowing the Giants only three hits and winning 1 to O. The winning run was scored by Higgins in the first inning on a wild pitch After that Marquard was in vincibIe.
 Crowd experts estimated the at tendance at S0.ooo. As early as the first inning it was necessary to allow the overflow from the packed grand stand to pass out onto the field. At , one time the gameswas halted and the upapires threatened to forfeit the con- test to New York if the fans were not forced back to the legitimate bounds. The overflow crowd encroached on the psaying field and the game was de- aayed while the police lined them up.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1984-Jack McAuliffe defeated Young .Grdffo in 10 rounds at New York. In the opinion of many who witnessed the battle. Griffo was en- titled to the decision and the light weight championship of the world, and he was certainly one of the c1everest boxers the ring has ever known Mo Au1iffe's session with Grzffo was his last important bout, and in 1896 he retired undefeated and turned the title over to Kid Lavigne. Griffo, whose real name was Albert Griffiths, was a native of Australia, and had never been defeated when he came to1Aner- ica4 in 1893. Most of his best battles on this side were draws, although he defeated Ike Weir, the featherweigbt champion. Billy Murphy. and others. He held his ssown with Joe Cans, with Kid Iavigne twice, with George Dix on three times and with So1ly Smith, Tommy White and others. As long as he retained his speed and science not a man living of his weight could beat him.
 1889-George La Blanche knocked out Jack Dempsey in 32nd round at San Francisco, winning midd1eweight championship.
 1s94-George Dixon defeated John ny Griffin in 25 rounds at Boston.

 Fidgety fielding by Cabrera and Grieve in the pinches threw the Pom ies off the track yesterday, and they never could get back. Bridgeport win ming a close ball game at League park, to 2. The Ponies held the lead un- til the sixth, and here they were pass ed, though they fought back hard to get even terms
 They couldn't climb back for the simple reason that Martin Walsh, brother of the once mighty Big Ed, stood in the way, and Martin was as much of a. stumbling block in the ninth as in any other round. Eddie Swander had planted the ball safely in center with one down, had ad- vanced on an infield out and a wild pitch and perched on third with Larry Pratt at the bat. Walsh and Pratt engaged in a little session, with the sad result that Pratt struck out and the game was over.
 Daniels pitched good ball for Springfield and Walsh did a fine job for Bridgeport. Bridgeport did not do as much hitting in the next round, but for all that got run- Jake Boultes hit to right field, advanced on a sacri- fee and out and came sailing home when. Grieve threw the bali into the dirt near first base on Wa4sh's roller. The third saw Springf1e go into the. lead.
 Hammond worked Walsh for a base on balls and Keegan hit to center. Cabrera sacrificed. Stankard drove both runners home with a single to center. 4 The game crump1ed in the sixth Senno poked the ball up against the left field fence for 8 two-bagger and Ha1ln1an pounded to right for a, single. Cabrera bung1ed Bou1tes' soft bound CT, but the fellows on third and second did not. budge. The bases were teem- ing with none out Ems Hoped down to Hammond and the latter retired Senno at the plate. Tferney was sent in to bat for Troutman and he caused some jubilation by striking out. Crook pIowed right through the heart of the diamond straight out to center. HaIlman and Boultes scampered home. Walsh grounded out. The game was Bridgeport's now and for the rest of the way it made the more threatening advances

Eastern association umpires in the future will be Instructed not to allow managers to cut the second half or double headers to seven innings Pres ident O'Rourke was very indignant this morning when he heard that Um- pire Kelly had permitted this arrange ment on two successive days in New Haven. '"The fans pay to see two games and are entitled to the full nine innings he said. 'tOf course if the first battle went 14 or Is innings there might be some excuse for shortening the second but it will not be allowed under ordinary circumstances"
 Dick Tuckey of the Bolts has made a remarkable record in pitching against New London. He has faced the Planters seven times and won six tie. In seven games Tuckey allowed only five runs. If Dick could bother other clubs as he does the Planters he would have a higher standing.
 wilbur Rodgers, who starred with Waterbury in 1910, has been bought from Portland, Ore, by the Cleveland Americans. Rodgers is a great base runner as well as good hitter.
 Tomorrow will be ladies' day at Newf1eld park and it is expected that numerous fair fans will be out to see Bridgeport play New Haven.

It makes the race more exciting than ever for Chicago is only two and a half games behind New York now. Today the Giants invaded Chicago for another desperate series.

FREE FIGHT
 WHEN BOSTON MEETS CUBS

Chicago. Aug. M-Boston lost a fine chance to take the lead in the Ma tional league race here yesterday and thereby hangs q tale of baseball and dstic deeds that add all the more zest to the greatest scrap the older or ganization has ever had.
 Tn the first place Chicago won by to o, thanks to 8. home-run drive by V. Safer. In the second place, Larry Cheney performed the remark single by Hank Gowdy. To clap the climax there was a fine little battle that resulted in several players being banished from the field.
 Since there was a fight, 1t is to be taken for granted right off the reel that Zimmerman was in the thick of it. It all happened in the seventh round; after Safer had driven the ball over the right field screen for his cir cult journey. 1immie followed with. a hit to left feId and tried to stretch it into double. Schu1te got the ball to iEyers long before zimmie arrived at the midway. and when Heinie slid into the bag Johnnie tagged the Ger man.S
