.BARBER'S PUPPY
ST|RS F|NANC|ERS
Whitehawk, Dog Owned by
Local Man, Was Sensation
of All-Arnerican Trials.

Whitehawk, the eight-months'- old
puppy, owned by DIR. T. F.. Barber Of
this city, created a sensation in the
recent All-American field trial at Den
bigh, N. D. Whitehawk is the puppy
which ran. such a sensational heat In
the recent Grand Forks trials. He
was shipped shortly after the local
of Handler W.. H. Beazell, who now
has charge of him.
Whitehawk was sent to Denbigh In
place Of another dog, which DIR. Bar
ber had entered. Officials of the
American association. while in Grand
Forks en- route to Denbigh. agreed to
the transfer, but they were a little
skeptical as to the results when in
formed that 1t was an eight months
old puppy that DR.. Barber wanted to
enter, - 80, =.
Whitehawk changed their opinion,
however, and, after the first day, was
one of the sensations of the meet.
Since the trials ended, DR. Barber has
received numerous offers for the dog.
Beazell, who is one of the best ham
dlers In this country, has written sew
eral letters to DR.. Barber, advising
strongly against using Whitehawk for
trial career for him. In one of his re-
cent letters, he said: "Whitehawk
undoubtedly ran the best race put up
in the derby"
The American Field, official sports
paper, said the following of White
hawks work in competition with
kirk's Buss in the first series: u,
Kinks Buss- Count Whitehawk-
The latter is only an 8-months' -old
puppy and much was not expected of
him, but the way this youngster got
out and ranged was. revelation. Fast
as a whippet and wide as the horizon
line. this puppy kept the galleries in
terested from the time he was put
down until he was taken up, for he
not only excelled in groundwork, but
he handled like an All-Age dog. He
is not high headed. nor does he carry
his tail as one would like to see it, but
after that little can be said against
him. The dogs were sent in the di-
rection of great wheat stubble and
here Whitehawk was in his element,
for this quarter section was teeming
with chickens and he put up one
bunch after another, sometimes stop
ping to point momentarily and then
chasing as far as he could see them,
or until he encountered another covey.
Buss ran consistently, but with this

NOT DIFFICULT TO

rate struggle it will declare that I'VE

been going at top speed all season;
we were just completely worn out.
and those other guys had been resting
up, taking it easy since they knew
they, had their pennant won" Per
contra, If the world series loser was
winner by huge margin in it's own
league. it sets up this pathetic wall:
we were rusty; we were all out Of
practice; we hadn't had any decent
opposition to stir us up and make US
keep in shape, and we weren't fit for
bruising series. Those other geez-
ers had to fight all the way down to
October 8. and they were all on edge.
just right for the hardest kind of
work" Wonderful, isn't it, how you
can find good alibi under any con-

Enslish1nan may develop into a good
man, 1t looks very much as IL Corbett
had added another to his already big
collection, of false alarms.
Mike Schreck, the German-Ameri-

hunch that Mike was going to be- a
worlds wonder in the ring. Magnifi-
cent, marvelous-Jim couldn't find
enough adjectives to describe the
mighty schreck.
Got . Good Start:
Mike tSchreck, acclaimed by Corbett
az one Of the best men he had ever
seen in the pugilistio arena, started
fighting about Is years ago. In his
earlier bouts with middleweights he
knockouts. In 1902 Mike twice out
pointed Hugo Kelly, the great Italian
boxer; defeated Tommy Burns in 10
rounds and fought a draw with Jack
Twin Sullivan. In 1908 he again de-
feated Burns and fought draw with
Hugo Kelly. but was defeated in an
other contest with the Italian, and also
lost to Jack O'Brien. In 1904 Mike
was again defeated by O'Brien at St.
Louis and lost to Jack Twin Sullivan
In a bout staged in indianapolis and
got draws with Burns and Kelly.

It was about ten, years ago that
Schreck boosted his reputation by
knocking out George Gardner at Salt
Lake City, but the famous 1rishman
was then on the down grade. Mike
then whipped Dave Barry, but little
later in Los Angeles he was again
bested by Jack Of the Sullivan twins.
Mike again knocked out Dave Barry
in 1906 and the following year he
knocked out Tony Ross, John Willie
and Marvin Hart, ex-heavyweight

BRITT0N NIGHT HAVE
won TITLE # Welsh
HAD ACCEPTED BOUT

Jack Britton might have been
lightweight champion Of the world
long before this IL he could have per-
suaded the titleholder to give him q
battle. Now Jacks approaching the
end OF his career. and pretty soon It
VIII be too late for him to hope to
capture the. title. -
It's hard to tell whether Britton has
slipped to any great degree as vet,
out certainly he has come to the point
Where he can hope for no more i'm
.provement, not even added expert
ence bringing any more class to him
than he already possesses.
Jack is long, rangy fellow. He
has the ideal build of boxer and he
is good boxer, but not in the ortho-
dox sense, for his style is peculiarly
his own.
With his long reach and his great
height Jack naturally would be ex-
pected to make plenty Of use Of fast
left jab. But this Britton fellow
doesn't jab often. When he does
shoot in his left he delivers a fast and
accurate blow, but in the main he de-
pends upon a right cross to win him
points. His left he uses for blocking
purposes and as q foil for his right.
Jack delivers his left with q peculiar
upward sweep. It has no steam, but
Br1tton uses that sodthpaw mainly to
get the range for the long overland
right which follows
Jack has plenty of speed on his pins
and he has plenty Of brains. He's a
heady, resourceful fellow, who makes
a good fight without running any
great risk himself. He has half
shift when attacked, walking calmly
away from danger, and then wheeling
quickly he delivers a rapid counter
fire with his right
That half shift, impossible to de-
scribe, makes it mighty hard to get
to him with right and almost i'm
possible to reach him with a left. Jack
has been described as being the hard
est man in the business to hit with a
left hand.
Britton's great trouble in his earlier
career was an inclination to avoid
training. He had benin the game
longer than most afightzrs last when
he hooked up with his, first live-wire
manager, Danny Morgan, who still
looks after him.. Danny made him
work, and from an unknown Britton
soon became figure Of national Inn
portance. That was because Morgan
saw to it that he was always in shape
to make his best fight.

New York. Sept. 17.-While De-
troit encroached upon Bostons lead in
the American league race yesterday,
Philadelphia drew farther away from
it's rivals for pennant honors in the
National organization. The Tigers,
threatens to decide the hopes Of eth
er aspirant. ran away with the first
game by taking into camp three men,

staff, upon which Red Sox followers
had built their hopes. A margin of
only one and q half games separate
the leading Red Sox and the Tigers
today Jennings sluggers. however,
must win three out of four games to
take the lead. If they evenly divide
the four games Boston will lead by
two and one-half games. Thus far the
Red SoX have won eleven out of nine
teen games played with the Tigers.
Don't Stop Philadelphia.
The ambitious Cincinnati Reds fail
ed to stop the Philadelphia Nationals
with Alexander in the box yesterday
and as a result the Phillies are al
ready figuring how they will spend
their worlds series money, with
lead of five and a half games over
both Brooklyn and Boston, who are
tied for second place. Brooklyn. aft

grounds prevented Boston and St.

The Phillies have twenty more
games to play while the Braves have
to play nineteen and the Superbas sew
enteen. Therefore. if the Phillies
should do nothing more than split
even, winning ten and losing ten, the
Braves would have to win sixteen and
only lose three games to gain the lead
and Brooklyn would have to win f1f-
teen out of it's seventeen games.
Closely Bunched.
While the leaders in both leagues
are fighting it out. most of the other
teams. although eliminated from the
pennant race. are unable to take many
chances to try out their ''rookies" be-
cause of the uncertainty Of holding
their positions and with opportunity
ahead of some OF them to improve
their standings. All five lower teams
in the Tener circuit are SO closely
punched that all have chance to
climb into the last berth in the first
division. st. Louis, which did not

sition by only percentage point over
Chicago which climbed into fifth po-
sition yesterday by defeating Brook

B0ST0NS' MARGIN

Cobb Throws Bat at Pitche,
When Ball Comes Close
to His Ear.

Boston, Sept. 1.-THE Detroit
Tigers and the Boston Red Sox came
to grips yesterday in the first game
Of the most critical series Of the year
between teams in the American league
with the result that Detroit. scoring
six runs to Boston's one, narrowed
the margin of the Red Sox league
leadership to one and one-half games.
Cobb is Hit.
Partisan feeling ran high during the
exciting game. 1t showed between
players of the two teams when Ty
Cobb threw his bat at. Pitcher Mays
in the eighth inning, after two balls
had passed close to his head. On the
next pitch Cobb was struck on the
wrist.
Again Cobb was the person against
whom the feeling was evident when,
at the close of the game, he was sur
rounded by bleacher crowd. They
pushed the Detroit player and he
shouldered them back while he an
swered their gibes. Wads Of paper
were thrown.
Policemen had difficulty in reach
ing Cobb's side, but eventually forced
a clear space and assisted by Detroit
and Boston players, escorted him to
the club house. The demonstration
against Cobb manifested itself every
time he appeared at the plate, the
crowd "booing" him each time.
Twirler Sent to Bench.
The game itself was decided by the
strength and speed of Detroit's at
tack, which sent Foster, the leading
Red Sox twirler, to the bench in the
fifth inning. Collins finished that
inning and was succeeded by Mays,
who allowed two hits. Cobb's i'm
petuous base running resulted in an
other Detroit run after he had been
hit in the eighth.
Dauss' delivery deceived Boston
batters. who gained only five hits.
The Tiger pitcher was always at the
top of his form and flelded his posi-
tion as we'll as he pitched.
