FANS ANXIOUS OVER
OUTCOME OF FIGHT
Local Fraternity Show COnsid-
cradle Interest in Weinert.
Howard Bout Tonight.

The outcome of the ten round box
ing contest at the Broadway Sporting
Club, Brooklyn, tonight between
Charley Weinert the Fighting Butcher
Boy, of West orange, and Johnny
Howard, of Bayonne, is being await
ed with intense interest in local
pugilistic circles Both boys say they
have trained faithfully for the milling
and each is expected to give a good
account of himself.
Considerable interest centres on the
Weinert end of the bout Weinert
has been out of the ring for some time
and whether he has lost his former
cleverness will be ascertained tonight
1t will mark the fourth nesting be-
tween the boys, and 1t will be re-
membered that in each previous en-
easement there was little to choose,
though 1t was the consensus of opin-
ion that Weinert was a shade the
better of the Bayonne boy. Howard,
however, has improved in boxing as
well as hitting powers of late and he
may surprise even the followers OF
Weinert tonight. Then, again, Vein
ert, II he succeeds in winning, VIII
probably be forced into a bout with
Jim Savage, the Orange heavyweight,
who claims that Weinert is afraid to
meet him.
Jack Palmer, Of this city. will meet
Chick Nelson in the ten-round semi
final tonight.

POLICE ATHLETES
REDOUDLE EFFORTS
BluecOats Have Busy Times al
Branch Brook Park Train
ing for Games.

With the big day fast drawing near,
the police athletes are redoubling
their strenuous training work at
Branch Brook Park, so as to be in
top form when they compete in the
athletic carnival on October at
Wiedenmayer's Park. Sergeant John
Mcdonald, who has charge of the
training activities, has a colossal time
keeping the men from overworking
themselves, but as each man has set
his heart on at least one prize, hard
work is in order. atie0 g.r. - 49,
Captain w. II. Stucky, the chair
man of the athletic committee in
charge of the meet, is setting a good
example for the other men by his
performances at the track. Captain
STICKY is a past-master of the heel
and-toe game, and he Is out training
every other day. The sprinters are
rounding into form rapidly. Quite a
bit of interest is taken in the relays
of the different precincts, and the re-
lay race at the carnival promises to be
the banner event OF the day SO
many men have been attracted by the
shot-put that they have been divided
into groups. The jumping events are
also receiving due attention.
william McTague, the secretary OF
the committee, has received n big en-
try list, but he expects the number to
be greatly augmented before Septem-
Der 20. the date set forth for the clos
ing of entries. Babe" Macdonald,
the champion shot putter of the
world, who is member of the New
York traffic squad, will give an eXhl-
bition at the carnival as will Egon
Erickson, the crack high jumper, and
Jack Eller, the record breaking hnr-
dler. Altogether, MIR. McTague can
see nothing in sight but mammoth
success.

Double BILLS ARR:
NO BOON TO GIANTS
McGraw's Men Can't Seem to
Get More Than an Even
Break.
What the Day May Bring
Forth in National League
Cards and Cubs not scheduled.

Double-headers are proving no boon
to the Giants. The New York club
is sticking right there at that .555
mark or whereabouts all the time,
While Boston Is slowly widening the
gap. Twenty points now separate
the two teams, but two and one half
games are by no means a safe lead in
such an alright race as the National
League Is furnishing. Boston has
twenty-five games to play and New
York has twenty-four remaining bat
ties.
Chicago made a slight gain, as st.
Louis did not play yesterday. Neither
of the Western contenders or near
contenders are scheduled to work at
all today unless they play off some
postponement.
Boston had no cinch of II yesterday
in downing the Brooklyn team. The
Braves cracked in the fielding line
with seven misplays. Whitfield at sec
ond in place of Evers was the chief
offender with three bad marks. The
Hub team knocked Pfeffer off the rub
ber, however, and managed to squeeze
out 4 to victory.
Tesreau had to work hard to win
from lineup the Phillies' Indian
pitcher. wild throw by Catcher
Burns gave New York the first game.
MatheWson was pounded harder in
the second battle than he has been in
many, many moons The Quakers
never paused until they had driven
him to cover. Thirteen thousand
fans saw the Old Master humbled.
The Giants have no one but Marquard
today unless McGraw calls on Dem
aree, which is not likely. O'Toole
was used to relieve Matty in the sec
ond battle.

Babe Ruth was the victim in both

for Baltimore. He then came back

Polledri Is Neutral.

Amedio Polledri, who won the
sprint championship Of Italy this
year, is very anxious to get con-
tract to race in America for the re-
mainder of the season and he also
wants six-day engagements here.
Whether or not the Cycle Racing As
ISOLATION will bring the Italian to this
country is question. Manager
Floyd MacFarland and Frank Million
signed Polledri to ride here this year
but after successes in Europe during
the absence of Rutt and Moretti, the
title holder ran out on his contract.
The local promoters did not like the
way Polledri treated them and up to
the present time, have not replied to
his letters. Polledris communications
are amusing. He says he is neutral
and does not want to go to war but
that the Italian army is mobolizing
and unless he gets out of the country
very shortly he will have to join his
regiment. War is awful" write
Polledri, land | don't like it. None
of the Italians want to engage in this
conflict, and thousands are looking
for q chance to leave the country"
He closes his letter with the follow
ing: "Ill come for any reasonable
amount, but make it as good as you
can. | must not go to war"

KELLY AND MAHON
DIVIDE THE HONORS
Boys Slug Their Way Through
Four Rounds to a
Draw.

Honors were evenly divided be-
tween Young Kelly and Irish Mahon
In the star bout last night at the Cen
trail Institute. Neither man displayed
any great knowledge of boxing, but
the crowd saw a passable smuggling
match. Kelly played for Mahons
stomach in the first round, while
Mahon used a left to the jaw several
times. With matters even in the sec
ond round, Kelly started to rush his
man, but to no avail. Mahon put
across a right to the jaw, and Kelly
managed to land two right swings to
the jaw that gave him the round by
shade. Mahon came back strong in
the next session and sent over his
right to the Jaw at will A straight
left raised a lump on kelly's right
eye, and Mahon won the round. Kelly
put all his reserve force into the final
round, but both boys spoiled the bout
by clinching and wrestling around the
ring. They exchanged right wallops
to the jaw and the fourth round
closed with honors even.
Battling frankie won a slow bout
from Buck Jersey. Jersey missed
many opportunities and frankie won
on his aggressiveness. The clash be-
tween frankie Huber and Jimmy De-
laney went to draw. Phil Krug
proved to be the master of Jimmy
Turner. Turner seemed to be far
from his usual form. but Krug de-
served praise for cool work. Mike
Bandol and Young Knecht went four
rounds to a draw. After taking two
rounds of punishment Joe Burns quit
cold to Young Morris William Green
quit in the second round to Young
Sherwood. Willie Clark shaded Dan
n a Unnd "
was another gutter, for he laid down
in the second round to Frank GRECO.
In the opening bout, James Bovine
won from Jack Micone in the third
round, the referee stopping the bout.

Larry Doyle had three hits in the

Bob Fisher had a triple and scored

Hank O'Day's crew wound up their
season at home by drubbing the
Pirates. Their victory pulls them up
to within a half a game OF the Cardi-
nails and five and one-half games of
the leaders. The Cubs turned their
heavy artillery on McQuillan, driving
him to cover, while Vaughn loafed
along and held the Pirates.
The Red Sox duplicated the Giants
trick-slipped up when they had an
excellent chance to gain on the Ath-
letics. They could only break even
with the Senators, while the Mack
men were beating the Yanks, and
they dropped half a game in the
standing.

Kid Williams Outpoints
Louisiana in Fast Bout

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 49,
Kid Williams, worlds champion ban
tamweight boxer, outpointed Louisi-
ana, of this city, in a fast six round
bout last night at the Olympia A. A.
1t was Williams's first appearance
here since he stripped Johnny Coulon
of the title.
The little Baltimorean was the ag-
gressor at all times, but was pre-
vented from showing at his best most
of the time by the cautious tactics
of his local opponent. Louisiana was
unwilling to exchange wallops with
the Dane, being content with cover
ing up and sidestepping.
