As matter of cold, hard fact, Tacoma is In bet

M'AULIFFE LOSES
 TO FASTER BOXER
Local Boy Unable To Penetrate Defense Of Frankie
 Fleming

The c1everness Of Frankie Fleming, Canadian feathefweight champion, was too much of a handicap for Young McAuliffe last night and the local boy lost the decision in a ten round bout at the Casino on State street. A biz crowd saw the bout. McAuliffe fought a, good battle. He was game every minute but was against a man who knew more about ring tactics.
 McAuliffe realized before the battle that he had no chance if he tried to box the Canadian. His only hope was to mix it up and try to weaken Elem ing by landing some hard swings. With this end in view he forced the fighting in the first three rounds but Fleming's defense proved too strong.
 In the fifth Mac managed to land a few on F1eming's face but did no particular damage. F1erning's trick of hunch1ng his shoulder to stop punches and his great ability at blocking made most of McAuliffe.s efforts appear wasted. Neither boy was in danger of a. knockout at any time and both were strong at the finish

CATCHER COLEMAN OF PIRATES HAD LAUGH
 ON MANAGER M'GRAW

One of Manager John McGraw's best stunts for winning ball games is that of leading astray the goats of promising youngsters on opposing teams. McGraw takes particular de- light in applying that method in a. game, the result of which will likely prove vital in the final standing of the clubs.
 A characteristic instance of this was given just before the opening game of a series the Giants played in Pittsburg in the middle o Hast season.
 Both Pirate catehers, George Gib- son and Mike Simon. were on the hos pitaI list They couldn't have gone behind the bat even if their lives de- pended on it.
 Fred Clarke, manager of the Cor sairs. was left in a sad plight. and wir- ed for a catcher to be delivered inme- diately, if not sooner. The result was the arrival of Coleman from Des Moines. Ia- A few minutes before the game referred to above McGraw made 1t his business to pass by Coleman. a powerfully built youth.
 You big busher, do you know what's going to happen to you? Well, we're going to steal your mitt before this game is over.'
 Chick Fraser, brother-in-1aw of Clarke, and now Pirate scout and coacher of pitchers, tells the rest of the story.
 What was your answer? ?,' Fraser asked later, when he met Coleman in Chicago.
 q didn't say anything. but I. caught four Giants trying to steal, After the game walked over to McGraw and said:

 F There is considerable controversy about where the game will be played The Army wants it again at the Polo Grounds, but the Navy objects to the long trip. and advocates playing the game in Philadelphia again The bus mess men in both this city and Phil adelphia are using all their influence to get the game. The University of Pennsylvania will probably not have it on Franklin Field because Of the limited seating capacity. but the Philadelphians are willing to engage either the American or National league baseball parks in that city for the contest. It will be impossible un- der the present conditions to accom- modate in Philadelphaa crowd of 45, ,00O such as witnessed the game at the Brush Stadium last year.

They. still have three more games to play, but whether they win or lose, the honors go to them. The second place honors are now being contested for and will probably go to either the Red Men or Bremen, both of which teams have an excellent chance for second place The scores of last nights contest is as follows:
