MATTY GRABS FIRST VICTORY
 OF THE SEASON

E New York, May 13.-Charles Lin coin Herzog's Cincinnati tribe of red legged warriors threw mighty big
 scare into Christy Mathewson and the tail-end Giants in the ninth inning at the Polo Grounds yesterday. The Reds, in a last desperate attempt to turn the tide of the battle. came with in one run of tying the score, and all that was necessary to deadlock the
 proceedings was a timely bingle from
 Tommy Leach's little black bat. How
 ever, Wee Tommy didn't come through with the necessary bingle, but
 went out on a fly to Burns, giving the
 McGrawites the second game of the
 series by the score of 6 to 5.
 It was Mathewson's first victory of
 the year. and it obviously shows that
 while the other teams may beat him. he still holds his spell over the Gin cinnati batterS. Still, the "Old Mas
 ter'' can't brag about his first victory
 of the season. for the Reds batted him
 quite frequently. but he was favored in many instances by the fortunes oi war, and especially so in the seventh when Umpire Byron called Mollwttz out at third base on CIarkes single tc centre.
 1 It looked as if the tall third base | man of the Reds was on the bag
 before Lobert put the ball on him but Byron decided otherwise and
 caused quite a rumpus among the Cincinnati players. Rube Benton who was coaching at third, grew SC indignant over Moflwitz being called out that he called Byron names fo1 which he was banished from the fray
 Mollwitz also took hand in the ar gument and soon followed Benton. | The game was played in heavy drizzIe In the ninth inning Mathew sons glove was so wet that he threw lit off his hand and pitched without lany. This is perhaps the first time 6 pitcher ever threw a ball in a game
 without a glove on his hand.

STOP CLABBY
 AND CHIP BOUT
 WHEN MEN FAKE


 ss New York, Afays1 3-Three thousand fstic fans braved the rainstorm of last night and paid to see Jimmy Clabby of Hammond, Ind.. and George Chip of Newcastle, Pa, fight at the St. Nicholas Rink. Instead of seeing a fight the spectators witnessed pink tea affair in which taps played the principal part The bout was so raw and crude during the last four sessions and the men were so palpably Hfak- ing that after minute and half of alleged boxing in the eight round Referee Roche tore the men apart from a cIinch and sent them to their corners
 It was the worst exhibition of. box ing that has been pulled off in this city in many years. It is safe to say that neither Clabby nor Chip will be staged at any boxing club here in the future. Roche was Justified in the drastic action that he took Previous to stopping the men he had warned them twice to do better work, once in the fifth and once in the seventh sessions.
 While both men were to blame, Clabby was the chief offender in not showing his best wares. From the middle of the fifth round it was plain to all of the fans that the men were pulling their punches.
 The comparatively small attend ance, considering the prestige of the two boxers, unquestionably caused the men to spar instead of fight.

GANTMLON WAS MAN WHO BROUGHT CATCHER

Baseball fans generally do not know that it was Joe Canttllon who suggested the move which brought the catchers up behind the plate throughout the games, writes one Of the games historians
 The change from the old style, where the catcher and umpire stood back against the gramdstand unless somebody was on base or the batter had three balls or two strikes, was made in the early days of the Amerf- can League, when Joe was an unn- pire-

JUDGE RULES
 BOXING MS MUST BE BARRED

New York, May 13-Judge Hough refused yesterday in the Federal Dis trict Court to permit the admission into this country of the film pictures which Freddie Welsh won the light weight championship from Willie Rift chic. Tn doing so, however, he intf- mated that it was ridiculous to pre- vent the mere pictures of a contest that was, absolutely legal in many of the States being transported in inter state commerce., and expressed the opinion that the courts had not done thenaseIves much credit by the decis- ions they had rendered concerning boxing contests.
 These considerations led Judge Hough to rule that although Frank s. O'NeiI had contended that the Welsh Ritchie fight was merely a boxing match, it was impossible to hold that the use of another name had changed the substance Of the fight.
 Both Ritchfe and welsh, said the judge. were professionals. If the modern dictionary definitions be ac- cepted, it is impossible for me to say what they did was not a modern prize fight, even though it may be admitted that the wearing of gloves and the limiting Of the number of rounds would have prevented its acceptamce as a prize fight fifty years ago. sA
 Tt is, therefore, concluded that ac- cording to tale4 modern acceptance of the phrase the Ritch1e4 Welsh affair was prize fight, and it was beyond question an encounter of pugi1ists''
 So, although the court held that the United States law was So peculiar that in one sense a pugi1fstic encounter might take place under the conditions that the statute outlined beween men who had never fought with fists be- fore. it could not see it's way clear tc admit the films of the London light j since it came within the technical scope of the Sims law.

The boys will go on in the ten round semi final. Matchmaker Kid Williams wanted to match Harry Williams of New Haven against Ketchel but the Elm City boy declined.

 The main bout has already been settled Young McAuliffe will tackle Milton Blier. of New. York in a 15 round session. B1ier's manag- CT signed the contract yesterday. The preliminary bout will be arranged in a few days.
 Jim De1ehanty has been given the job as manager of the Hartford club in the Colonial league. He arrived in Hartford last night to take charge. It was also announced that Pitcher Chappelle, g ently released. by the Brooklyn Feds, will be assigned to New Haven. Martin Walsh, who jumped Bridgeport last winter, will be sent to Taunton, Mass, which will be bad news for Martin. Manager Lee Magee of the Brooklyn Feds says ! probably for the reason that the, old Norwich star is drawing too much , salary for a minor league.

 OF RING BATTLES

1ssS-George Dawson outpointed Al O'Brien in 4 rounds at PhiladeI- sphia. This bout closed the ring ca .reer of s'Gentleman George" the Australian welterweight, for soon af- sterward he accepted an offer of a job as boxing instructor at the Chicago A. A, and liked it so we'll that he stuck to it and never returned to the ring. Dawson might have become a champion if he had remained in the game. Only a short time before his retirement Dawson was matched with Tommy Ryan for the titIe,. but the Syracuse man backed out at the last minute, claiming illness. Dawson was defeated only once in his career, and that was by Tom Williams in Melbourne Williams refused to meet Dawson again, and forfeited 4$125 rather than to risk a return en- gagep ent. Dawson came to America in 1892 and defeated Billy Gallagher, Danny Needham, Doc OiConnen and Al O'Brien. He also met Tommy Ryan in a 6-round no-decision bout and made an excellent showing against the welterweight champion.

 Ga1lant's blocking and shifty box ing was a revelation. In the cltnch- es and at long range work he appear ed quite at home. Robideau boxed sci entihcally enough, but his attack was either blocked or countered
