FIST FIGHT IN GAME WHEN BOONE
 KICKED BY GANDEL

New York. Sept. 9.-Wa1ter John son was in his best form yesterday afternoon at the Polo Grounds, which meant the usual thing-a defeat for the opposing team. The Yankees were the opponents of the Senators and while they put up a. great battle the game ended with the score 1 to 0 in favor of Washington. Johnson strucks out ten batters. Bow Shaw key opposed the great Washington pitcher and the article of bali he twirled would have won nine out of ten games.
 Plenty of excitement marked the second inning when Gandil, the Wash fngton first baseban, and Boone of the Yankees got together ins a near fight Gandil singled but was out at second trying to stretch the hit. ut appeared as if he made a kick at Boone and the latter promptly rushed him. The be1ligerents were separat- ed before any damage was done. and were allowed to stay in the game.

PHILLIPS STAY IN
 RACE BY HANDING GIANTS TRIMMING

Philadelphia, Penn, Sept. 9.-- Showing no i'll effects from the pun dshment inflicted upon them In Brooklyn, but more determined than ever to- prove that they are still very much in the race for the pennanti the Phi1lies yesterday took revenge on the downtrodden GiantssS defeating Me Graw's team, Ito 3. ~
 The Phillies wasted no time in get ting after Bill Ritter, 8 former local pitcher hammering him for five earned runs in the first inning. and driving him to the cover of the vis- ttors kdugout in a, little less than four innings, during which time the league leaders increased their score to seven tallies. Bert Schupp, a. southpaw, took up the hurling for McGraw, and put a check on the slugging but Aforan's men managed to squeeze a. couple more runs over the pan. one being the result of Fred ,Luderus' speed in stealing second base and home in the seventh inning after drawing a base on balls.
 Chalmers gave John 5NIcGraw an he made early in the season when he turned Chalmers loose as unfit for major league duty. The Phillies .come-back'' star has faced the Giants five, times this season, and yesterday was his fourth victory over them. Tn only two innings were the Giants able to do anything with Chalmers delivery

PITCHING TO DECIDE REMNANT WINNER IN
 NATIONAL LEAGUE

New work. Sept. 9-Pitching will determine the penna1lt winner in the National League Never before in a major league has there been such close competition as the Tener circuit offers th is year. Every team is in striking distance of the top.
 While there are those who charge that the National League lacks class. this charge is not Justified. The games are more interesting and bet ter played than heretofore. If the } class is lacking, there is a certain spirit that makes lip for this lack. Every man on every team feels that ihis team has a, chance at the pen nart, and the result is that every one is fighting and fighting hard. Time was when the Giants Cubs and Pirates were conceded the first three places in the league standing, but that time is past. CTS of the game do not concede a look in is Cincinnati. Last spring Mil Ter Huggins predicted that Cincinnati would play great bali for the first two months of the season. But he was wrong-the .Herzog entry did well for a month, then calmly fell down into the second division. And ito will stay there, despite the fact that it has some great players.
 If the Cardinals were getting the brand of pitching they got last year they would be in first place and would stay there. But they are not and all that is keeping them where they are is much heavier hitting than last year. The 1914 brand of fielding was excellent, and it is this year It is not often errors are made, but when they are made they count heav- fly. It appears that certain Cardinals cannot make errors unless they count heavily, and several important games have been lost this season solely through errors at critical times.
 This spring it was predicted all over the circuit that the Cardinals did not have chance at first division with Wingo, Perritt and Magee missing Magee, is hitting better with the Fed erals than he ever did with the Car dinals, and he would not have such a good batting average against Ma t10nal League pitching
 W1ngo is doing fairly well with the Reds while Perritt has not pitched the brand of ball for McGraw that he did with Huggins, because McGraw does not know how or will not coax Perr1tt along like Huggfns did.
 Alexander is the most dependable pitcher in the National League today He put the PhiIlies in first place and is keeping them there.

DENY RUM0R THAT
 YATES WILL JOIN
 YALE TEAM AGAIN

New Haven, Conn, Sept. s.The heat had a dampening effect on everything except the spirits Of the Yale football squad in practice at Madison. Several new candidates ar. rived. The authorities discredited the report that Yates the star of last falls freshman football, team, would enter the Sheffield Scientific School.
 Yates was dropped from the aca- -de1nic departm ent last spring. and his loss is the greatest that Yale football has suffered in years. Because of the heat there will be no scrimmaging for several days, and the coaches plan to drill the men thoroughly in the esrudi- mentary work. This, may take all the time until the men return to New Haven.
 Three additional "Y'' men reported gChub Shelton; varsity substitute last year, who was not a regular because of injuries; Waite. a. backheld man, and J. R. Conway, a regular guard last year. Carl Bettss the heavy iines-' man who played at tackle last fall and who may be tried at end this year sent word that he would be here to-
 morrow.

BLOSSOM TO BE
 B 3 Al tss(DACH AT YALE NEXT YEAR

New Haven4 Sept. s-Wfth the resignation two weeks ago of Frank Quinby, the Yale baseball head coach, plans were made to pick yhis successor and it was stated last night on, good authority that the choice of the con7mittee would be John T. BIos- som, who was captain of the team in 1913 and 1914. Blossom lives in CIeveIand but has been in business in New, York city for several months He came tto Yale from the Taft school, WaterbIry Conn., and played short stop three seasons.
 The selection of Blossom will not be announced officially, till after the opening of the fall term of Yale. Quin- by has considerable support for re- appointment, although Captain Mil burn does not favor his selection and an effort will be made to- induce the commftte to again name Quinby. BurN3p ETommersy who has been coach 8he Yafe pitchers for two aeasons will probably be again cho- sen in this capa city. Tommers has had nine composed of Yale players, including most of the regulars of the past season, at Quo4aogue, Long Island the present summer.
 Blossoms choice is a surprise It had been expected that Quinby's sue cessor Wollld be either Frank O'Brien, coach Andover. Tad Jones. coach at EzEtef& Fred Murphy, coach at NorthHestern University, or Morgan Bowmans Coach at Hill School All are Yale baseball captains of recent years who have been successful as coaches since their graduation.

contest in. California, Knocking out Jimmy Britt in the eighteenth round at Colma in 1905.
 The Gans-Britt bout in 1907. was a great disappointment for, the fans. most of whom were naturally rooting for James Edward. It was in this contest that Jimmy broke a hone in his wrist. The following July the field of victory proved a vale of de- feat for Joe, who was knocked out in the seventeenth round by Nelson. Joe begged for another chance, and they were matched for September g., 1908. The clever black realized that he could not whip the durable Dane, but he needed the money. Cans bet every cent he could raise that he could stay 20 rounds, and by super human effort and the use of every trick in his repertoire he stuck it out. After the twentieth was safely pass ed, and his coin was, safe, Joe had reached the limit of his endurance and the Batt1er soon gave him tae finishing touch.
 Another Admission Day battle which is still fresh in the memory i7 that between Jack Johnson and Al Kaufman on Sept. g. 1909. The pse smoke hade no attempt to light, and contented himself with dodgfng. dancing and sidestepping. For one entire round he stood with his hands down. and permitted the earnest and pGrSp1r1ng hauInan 10 try to nlE l1flr Dodg1ng and ducking, Johnson eyad- ed all the we1l-meant blows of the 20o-pound Californian, and not once was Al able to wipe the golden smile from the big blacks face.
 s'Heah An is. boy" taunted John son. why don't you hit me ?'' This was like a red rag to a bull to Kaufa man, but Johnson ninbIy danced out of the way when Al sent a, blow in his. direction. The black kept up lively flow of repartee with the crowd while eyading Kaufman's blows When one indignant fan called him yellow, and demanded that he light, Johnson only grtnhed and called out Sure. 3Bo, | got a weller streak, but they can't nobody find it."
 And then there was the hgnt--brt enough. Them were the happy days before the ladies rose in their wrath and said that fighting was wicked and naughty and, besides expensive. So now the money the sGalifornians department stores and the nlilHners.
