NEW YORK, September 2G--The
heavyweight boxers. who were relegat-
ed to the scrap heap by the fans some
little time ago, are slowly, but none
the less certainly, establishing
themselves in popular favor Busy
times are in store for the big fellows
this winter, and the managers are
planning what amounts to an ciirTsia-
alton series OF bouts, until a worthy
opponent for Jess willard may he Sc

been arranged between well-known
men, and these are really the appetite
crs for the feast that will be set later.
Tapping right at the door is the
bout between Tom Cowlcr, whose VIC
tory over Jack IIemple in less than
three rounds won him his place and

that the home rule question Will be

CUP DEFENDERS RETIRED

The Americas Cup defense yachts
Resolute and Nanitic have been re-
tired for another year after sea son
OF trial racing which has left the ques-
ton OF relative merits about where
II was at the close of 1914. Between
July and July % these two yachts
met in series of ten special races
with the result that the Rcsolute won
nine and the Nanitie one Six OF the
contests were sailed on Long Island
Sound and four over ocean courses
Close followers OF yachting express
the opinion that OF the two single
stickers. the Nanitic showed the great
or improvement. and that further
ovcrhauling this winter will improve
her chances when the yachts are nut
overheard next year. Although forced
to give the Resolute time allowance
in almost all the 1915 races. the Coch-
rane sloop showed faster sailing oual-
tiles than during the preceding sea-
son. and may yet prove her right to
defend the cup. The challenger.
Shamrock ~, is still boxed in a Brook
lyn shipyard and there appears to be
little prospect OF the International
regatta being held during the com
ing year.

NATIONAL LEAGUE REMNANT
NOW WITH SMALL MARGIN
First Time i'm History Tint Flag Has
been Taken with Percentage
Less Than 100.

Regardless of the actual outcome of
tho National League race. IL appears
to be an almost mathematical Ger
tainty that the winner Of the 1915
pennant in the ccnior organization will
finish the season with n percentage of
less than 600. Assuming that such
will he the case. it WI be the first
time in the history OF the league that
the flag has been, won with such n
low percentage.
Not since the league was formed in
1876 has tho winner in any one year
fallen below the 600 mark and the
average fp' the thirty-nine years is
.6Sl. The Chicago team of 1850 holds
tho record, with .79S. while Brooklyn's
victory in 1900. with sos, is the lowest
to date. The complete records of the

MAJOR RACES ABOUT OVER.
LESS THAN TWO WEEKS TO
END OF LEAGUE SEASONS
Detroit Must Tnkc All to Get Rug.
PILLS Need Three More Games
to Cinch Remnant.

With less than two weeks of tho
season remaining, the pennant races in
the major leagues have assumed such
shape that baseball enthusiasts who
wish to witness all the games of the
coming worlds series arc consulting
time tables that show the schedules
between Philadelphia and Boston.
Alexander, of the Philadelphia Ma
tionals. and Shore, OF the Boston
Americans, already have been tcnta-
lively assigned by the prophetic writer's
OF the sporting columns to pitch the
opening game for their respective
teams
Detroit can not win the American
League pennant unless 1t wins all it's
remaining games while the Red Sox
are dropping seven out of the ten they
have To play. The mere citation Of
these figures show how slim is the
probability of any upset. Philadel-
phia has to only capture three of the
Zine games left on it's schedule in or
der TO place itself in the leagues pre-
mier position at the seasons end.
Its series with Boston ana Brooklyn
st!ll remain to be played, but MoraI's
men have little reason now TO be wor-
ried about the outcome OF these games,
which might have decided the race
had the Quakers made poorer show
Boston and Brooklyn arc the COM
petitors for the second place in the
National League, with the chances IA :
roring the Braves.
Speculation on tho outcome OF the
worlds series Is being INDUCED in at
lively rate. Whether Alexander will

the major burden OF the twirling as

ton. Supporters OF the phillics'
chances are counting on Chalmers to

In the breach should one be created
by the fall-down of either of the stel-
lar selections. Ludcrus and Cravath
are the hittcrs upon whom Moran Is

combination.
