with Knockout Mars, of this city No
decision was given, but the champion

Kilbane was cautious in the first
three rounds and Mars was agrees

commanding lead. In the last five
rounds Mars continually went into
clinches and hung on to Kilbane so
that the latter was unable to land a
decisive blow.

show the right calibre in either bout
Mccoy, as a champion, put up dis
graceful exhibition on both occasions,
but Murray didn't seem to have the
goods, either. Chip won his way to
the top and was looked upon as q
real champion and if he is as good as
when he defeated Frank Klaus he
should beat Murray, who is willing,
aggressive fellow, but who hasn't the
punch Chip has some cleverness and
a regular kDockout blow. With these
assets he should win.
@
Jack Dougherty, the old-time man
ager of fighters, is not going to allow
Mr.. AL Mccoy to get away from him
as easily as Mccoy had figured. 1t
was Dougherty who brought Mccoy
to the front-made him the middle
weight champion--and then, for no
good reason, Mccoy threw his man.
ager down. OF all the. migrate fighters,
this Mccoy is perhaps the worst, for
he is the poorest apology of scrap
per that has ever held title of any
kind He is so bad that he is even
wise to himself, and he never would
have been heard of If 1t hadn't been
for the persevering Dougherty. Jack
stuck to the dub for years, and he
got him the fight with George Chip
which brought him the championship.
Then came the bouts with Billy Muir
ray, of California, in which Mccoy
showed himself to be an awful cheesy
fighter. Following the second fight
with Murray Mccoy quit Dougherty,
but he hasn't done any work since
then. Jack has outwitted him at
every turn.
In order to get the better of Mccoy
Dougherty has gone into the courts
but his method is a new one. Al
Mccoy. the champion, is not Mccoy s
name at all, so Dougherty has Sc
cured fighter in the person of Alex
ander Thiel, and has had his name
changed to al Mccoy, and at the
same time he is seeking to prevent
the first Al Mccoy from using that
name any more. The order comes
from the Supreme Court, and Dough
erty is flashing it among his friend:
and the friends of Mccoy. Jack de
clares he will beat Mccoy at every
trick. and that AL will never MAKE
another cent out of his title-a title
that Dougherty was mainly respon-
sible for.

WHEN THE OLD GLORY RACE is ON

ness in postponing the first polo
match because Of an injury to Cap
tain Cheape, one of England's best
players. Yes, it was kind of nice of
us to do that, but Lord Wimborne,
who brought the British team over
here, said he didn't know whether he
would have done the same thing
under the same circumstances. OF
course, his lordship may be only
questioning his craftsmanship i'll
order to make our craftsmanship all
the more honorable, but fiattery aside
and joking aside, the fact is, England
likes us better in defeat than she does
in victory. When she whips us at
anything she tells us what sports
men we are but when we whip her
she generally finds some good and
PLAUSIBLE reason for her defeat.
g
Soon again, perhaps, England will
have more praise for US. Sir Thomas
Upton, as you all know, is coming
over here to lift our yachting cup.
He promises to do it this time sure,
and there are so many Americans
aching for Upton victory that Sir
Thomas may eventually pull through.
If Upton lifts our cup he will be en-
titled to all the honors. He sought
to have us compromise conditions and
change the rules so that he would
have a better show, but the cup hold
ers wouldn't listen to Sir Thomas's
pleadings Then Upton, taking
long chance, built freak boat and he
/ is coming over here very cocky and
growing about his prospective victory.
We may lose the treasured Americas
cup, but if so Upton and the English
sportsmen will be stronger for us
than ever If we should win again.

as the Great American Hogs"

The showing of the American crews
in the Royal Henley regatta in Eng
land was far beyond expectations.
The victory of the Harvard second
crew over Leander yesterday was the
biggest kind of a surprise, and the
Crimson boys came back this morn
ing with winner over the Winnipeg
eight of Canada. AS oarsmen, Lean
der is perhaps more famous than
any other college crew in the world,
yet the second eight of Harvard had
sufficient speed and stamina to beat
! the Englishmen in a hard race. The
victory over Winnipeg has put Har-
ward in the final, and the outlook
| for success of the crew in the Grand
Challenge final is bright, indeed. 1t
doesn't seem possible that we could
beat England's best, in England, too,
at rowing, and the surprise is even
greater than the victory of Yale, with
her English stroke, over Harvard. and
the great showing of Pennsylvania,
with her English stroke, in the inter-
collegiate regatta.

The International League is really

earth enough money TO pay the bill.
Jersey City is also anxious to dis
pose of her franchise, and she has Of
fered her holdings at a sacrifice to
Richmond. But at the meeting in
New York yesterday, and which
lasted well into the night, great as
surance must have been given that
the right thing would be done by the
league. 1t is almost an open secret
that both Baltimore and Buffalo were
promised help by the National Com
mission a short time ago. Evidently
there was some doubt about the
proposition, and those concerned were
anxious for showdown. The decla-
ration that the circuit is to be MAIN
tanned is evidence that satisfactory
arrangements have been reached and
the commission has come to time.

recover from the present war. and it

General MacFarland doesn't seem
to care how hard a game he puts up
to Champion Kramer. With Frank
Cavanagh as a partner he has asked
Kramer to defeat three teams, one
after the other in a match at the
Velodrome tomorrow afternoon. To
make them feel good the General
gave them the name of the Yankee
Doodle team, and then picked out
three foreign teams to give them
battle. The Fourth of July and the
Yankee Doodle team go well together,
and this pair will be hard to beat
tomorrow Walter Rutt and liver
Lawson promise to give Kramer and
Cavanagh a hard battle, and Jackie
Clark and Ernie Pye appear to be a
formidable team, but if the champion
and the "Cave man" are beaten at
all it will probably be by ALT Goul-
let and ALI Grenda. AS far as Law
son and Pye are concerned, Cava-
nagh will be able to outsprint those
two birds, but in Grenda he will have
a foeman worthy of his steel to con-
ouer. In the sprint, too, Goullet, who
is said to be in very fine shape,
should give the champion a battle,
and if he is not the one to upset the
Yankee Doodle team it isn't likely
that there will be any upset
