Boxing May Be Resumed at
Madison Square Garden

NEW YORK, Sept 2.-Boxing bouts
may be resumed in Madison Square
Garden in the near future, and 1t Is
understood that the officials of the
Garden Athletic Club are considering
the selection of a matchmaker. Many
of the biggest boxing bouts held in
this city have been staged at the Gar
den, and with almost every boxer of
note, with the exception of Champion
Jack Johnson, open for engagements,
a number of important contests can
be secured. In addition to the vacant
dates available, the cancellation of the
lease by the National Horse Show AS
ISOLATION gives the management two
desirable weeks in November, which
could be used to stage two bouts.
This would allow at least twelve con-
tests, or two a month, during the win
ter.
Manager William Wellman admitted
Yesterday that there were a number
of open dates on the Garden schedule,
but said that nothing deeri
been done regarding Their
s. i'd that the G. officials
were considering several prominent
promoters, including Jimmy Johnson
and the Mcmahon brothers, for the
position of matchmaker.

BOSTON CLUB GETS
LINE ON ATHLETICS
Stallings Has His Braves Out
to See Mack's Men SIaugh-
ter the Maps.
GIANTS TO MEET DODGERS
GIANTS TO MEET DODGERS
What the Day May Bring
Forth in National League

Today begins the final test of the
New York and Boston National
League teams in their battle for the
flag. New York must face its old
rival-the Brooklyn Dodgers. In days
gone by the Dodgers have always
been troublesome for the Giants at
times when the Giants needed victory
most. Wilbert Robinson would like to
see the Giants win the flag, in all
probability, but he has no idea OF
making things easy for his old boss
The dope shows that New York has
beaten Brooklyn seven times in twelve
tries, which is not a very lig mark OF
distinction, but much better than the
Braves showing against thos ne
Brooklynites. Stallings's men have
won only four out of fifteen games
played with the Robinson Crusoes.
Both teams were idle yesterday and
that gave the Chicago Cubs another
chance to gain on the three leaders.
The Cublets are now only four
points behind the Cards, who are
third and a victory for Chicago with
a ST. Louis defeat would make the
Cubs third. The same goes for the
Giants and Braves. Only half game
, separates these teams and Boston can
obtain first honors If things break
right.
The Stallingsites are in Philadel-
phia. Yesterday they saw the Attn
letics trounce the Cleveland Maps, and
Stallings said that he never saw q
team loaf worse than the Maps did.
4 He praises the Athletics, but censures
the Maps for their sloth. George says
it is an even proposition between the
! Giants and Braves for the pennant.
The Giants arrived in New York
yesterday and some of them went I'd
the Polo grounds to see Ty Cobb
! PLAY against the Yanks.
With the acquisition of Marty
O'Toole, Manager McGraw is feeling
easier. Experts believe O'Toole will

.BENGALS WIND UP

Two Games Today-Players
Have acknowledges Fa-
vOr Giants.
Special to the Evening star.

BUFFALO, N. Y. Sept. 2.-Newark
had another off day yesterday, with
the result that a double header Is
scheduled for today. By "off day" is
meant that the team was unable to
get out on the ball field at all. The
club has been having numerous "off
days" even when playing. There
was a reunion between the Brooklyn
and Newark forces of the Ebbets
family here yesterday. for the Dodg-
ers stopped over to play an exhibit

part of double bill
Gus Getz, Hi Myers and the other
ex-Tigers with the team, hobnobbed
with their old teammates. The
Dodgers are neutral in their National
League feelings, but most of them
think McGraw's men will come
through with a winning squirt now
that their slump is over.
Manager Harry Smith has not de-
cided on his pitching selections, but
it looks like Lee and Mattern for to-
days double decker. This will be
Newark's last appearance of the year
here. Tomorrow the Tigers will
tackle the Hustlers at Rochester.

ATHLETICS TRAVELLING AT
AN 1867 CLIP SINCE JULY II

The Athletics lead is now twelve
and one-half games over the Red
Sox. Since July II the Mack team
has won thirty nine games and lost
six. The Athletics have won seven
teen of nineteen games played with
the tail-end Maps this season. They
have been travelling at an 1867 clip.
Four was a lucky number for the
Red Sox yesterday. After st. Louis
made four runs In the first inning,
Boston fought an uphill battle in the
first game of a double header and
scored four times in the eighth, win
ming, 10 The second game resulted
In a Az victory for Boston. The win
ners had a quartet of safeties In this
game.
Heinie Zimmerman, the irascible
third-sacker of the Cubs, threatens
to quit the Chicago team because
$3.50 was taken from his salary to
pay some of the fines he has caused
in the past month.
Joe Jackson Is out of the game
with water on the knee. 1t is doubt
full if he will play much more this
season.
Savannah beat Albany yesterday
by a So score in the post series be-
tween the two South Atlantic League
pennant winners. 1t is the custom to
split the season and have two races
in the Sally League.
1t took fifteen innings for the
Washington team to lose to Chicago.
Johnson did not pitch; maybe that is
why the Senators had such hard
time tossing it away.
Reynolds, youngster, pitched De-
trot to a victory over the Yanks yes
terday. Witt starred at bat for De-
troit, with three hits off Marty Nc
Hale. The latter was hit hard, but
was given good support.
Derry Pratt, of the st. Louis
Browns, was married In Boston last
night to Miss Leontine Ramsaur, of
st. Augustine, Fla. In the double
header before the ceremony Pratt
made two bad throws.
M0rdeCal brown ueDut with the
Brooklyn Feds will probably take
place in q day or so. 1t will be the
first time that Brown ever played on
an Eastern team. His contract of
$500 for three years was assumed
by the Tip Tops.
Hugh Jennings, of the Tigers, got
his name in the box score again the
other day, the first time since 1909. 1t
was in an exhibition the Detroit
Tigers played at Saginaw and Jen-
nings played first base for an inning.
His only other appearance In recent
years was after the Tigers had sewn
up the pennant in 1909, when he broke
in to give some of the regulars a
chance to rest up for the worlds
series.
George Tyler, the crack left-hander
of the Boston pitching staff, won his
game at Cincinnati last week and
maintained the victorious gait at
which he has been travelling for more
than a month, but his streak of rum
less hurting was broken. When the
Reds scored in the fifth inning it
marked the fifth time in SO straight
innings that runner had crossed
the plate against Tyler. He BANKED

battle for the highest honors in

battle is over there will be some
disappointed and crestfallen knights

The semi-finals of the wor' Us
sprint championship is the real big
event, and each of the three heats
is sure to furnish the keenest sort of
competition. One rider will emerge
a winner in each heat, and six riders
Will see their championship hopes
crumbled before them. Walter Rutt,

world, will defend his title, and Bill

The Big Five.
In this galaxy of stars from diff
ferent parts of the world, five riders,
Rutt, Kramer, Goullet, Bailey and
Moretti, stand out as having slight
ly better chance than their rivals But
their advantage over the others-if
there is any Advantages so slight

ners. This is the crucial stage of
the race, for those who are shut out
tonight will not have recourse to a
repechage, IN order to make their
way into the final. It is curtains for
those who meet with defeat.
Kramer can expect a hard fight in
his semi-final, in which he will be
opposed by Grenda and Lawson.
Grenda pleaded with General Mac
Farland yesterday to put him in
some other heat, but to no avail. The
Tasmanian pointed to the fact that
in each of the three big races run
this season he had been placed in
Kramer's semi-final to give him a
chance in another heat in this race.
Grenda said that he did not have a
chance in the heat with Kramer,
but that he would have chance,
and a good chance, of winning either
of the other two heats. Though dis
appointed that he must do battle
with Kramer tonight, the lion-heart-
ed giant from over the seas will not
go into the race a beaten man be-
fore the start-he will have mighty

Spencer and Rollins Dark Horses.

Art Spencer and Luther Rollins are
the dark horses in the amateur cham
pionship semi-finals. Both showed
class in their heats, although they

but the latter appears to be stronger
and possessing a faster sprint Don

heat and Harry Kaiser is almost cer-
tain to take his heat. But there is

FIVE RIDERS STAND OUT
IN WORLDS TITLE EVENT

will be opposed by Rutt, the worlds
champion, but titles cast no fear in
the heart of Goullet. consistent
winner all season and one of the
finalists in every big race run this
year, Goullet is conceded to have a
royal chance of winning not only his
Semi-final, but the final as we'll But
Rutt will be a demon and will take
more beating tonight than in any race
this year. His title is at stake and
he will go in the race tonight with the
same spirit that marks the successful
fighting of his 'countrymen in Europe.
The German is afraid that Goullet
will team with Spears. the third man
in the heat but he is prepared for
every angle that may arise.
"Railbirds" Pick Bailey.
The "Railbirds" are picking Bailey
to win the third semi final The Eng
lishman has improved greatly in the
past two days and has shown great
seed in training. In the opinion of
t Sad Birds" Bailey would be no
match for even Harry Kaiser, the
amateur champion, but, judging from
past performances, the "Railbirds"
are far more apt to be correct than
the Sad Birds who see things
through poisoned glasses. Bailey may
be beaten, but if beaten he will not
be disgraced. for he is a wonderful
rider, and will, before long, probably
win big race against all the stars,
much to the chagrin of the Sad
Birds"
Moretti is figured as strong as
Bailey, and both the Englishman and
Italian look better than Clark But
Clark is still in his youth and there
is no doubt about his class, and
sooner or later he is going to win a
big bicycle race. A rider of Clarks
calibre will not stay down for long
and he may be the winner of this big
race. Just year ago Jackie won the
Grand Criterion and gave Frank
Kramer a severe beating. The final
was run in heats, with two heats
necessary to win, and Clark came
through to victory after losing the
second heat as a result of puncture
If Jackie can display that same speed
tonight he can probably win.
