BC3 MOHA ANXIOUS
 TO BE GIANT KILLER

Tiny Bob Mol1a will meet Giant Joe Cox in New York tonight. Not since the day that Stanley Ketchel met Jack Johnson in San Francisco has there been such disparity in the, size of two boxers, Moha will take seat No. 1 among the giant killers if he's lucky enough to flatten Cox.
 Whipping big men has been one of the delights of his sweet young life, Nfoha seldom fights men of his own weight for the simple reason that most of the men of shis poundage give him a very wide berth.
 Cox can box some himself. His showing against Bill Brennan in two Brooklyn bouts showed that he is a dangerous hitter and fast on his feet for a man Of his size. He will be badly handicapped in tonights', con- test because he will have to shoot his best punches down at the little fel- low, Cox will be seconded by. Jim Corbett tonight. The genial James knows what it is all about and Cox is bound to get an earful of boxing Knowledge he never heard of be- fore.

GEORGIA PEACH IN

New Haven, Aug. 2SLTy Cobb, Ameri- ca's baseball idol, served as a magnet to capacity crowd which packed the Lighthouse Point grounds yesteris y afternoon to see the Coionials and New Haven clubs battle in the second game of their series for the city cham pionship. The Co1onials, aided and abetted by the pranks of the temper amental Ty managed to nose out a 5 to victory in one of the most thrill ing finishes ever enacted on the east shore grounds. Both teams played ragged ball, errors accounting for a majority of the ta1lies cflalked up dur ing the afternoon.
 Cobb arrived at the ball park ten minutes before starting time and amused the spectators for several minutes with preliminary batting practice. Cobb hit the ball to every nook and corner of the field and when play was called he stationed himself on first base Cobb helped himself to two hits, one scratch double, scored a run, accepted 15 chances at first base, made a couple of wild belts, one

Aug. 2s-Reggie McNamara, the Australian cyclist demonstrated his superiority over the professional riders by winning first place in the two races in which he started at the local velodrome yester- day afternoon.

 His other triumph was in one mile race, in which the nine best pro- fessionals on the track competed In this event McNamara led Marcel Du- puy, Frank Kramer. and Bob Spears to the tape, winning by a length

fresh prominence by knocking out one of his opponents with what is styled "a mysterious new punch" as the attraction in a bout with Joe Yelling on Wednesday night. Hither- to the agile Italian has been noted for footwork which kept him off the ground wheneFer he was delivering a, blow. Perhaps the reason that he landed the knockout on Young O'Leary, which has caused such a sensation, was that he kept his feet on the platform while he hammered home the blow. Yelling is being handled by Jimmy Johnston. That he is able to stand a heavy attack was proved in his bout with Harry Pierce, when he went down for a count from a wild swing in the first round and stalled through the re- mainder of the round. Yelling re- covered so quickly that he sent Pierce to the mat in the second and won the fight as he pleased.

CALIFORNIA COMET SEEKS TO
 RETIRE AS TENNIS CHAMP!ON National Tournament at Forest Hills Probably Last Contest For Maurice Mclaughlin.

New York, Aug. 28-Eollowers of lawn tennis probably had their last opportunity to see the California Comet, Maurice E. Mclaughlin. in action in the national championship tennis tournament which started yes terday on the turf courts of the West Side Tennis club. at Forest Hills, L. L The popular Californian. who has defeated the pick of the worlds tennis players and enjoys the distinc- ton of being the only American player rated at the top of the worlds best racket wieiders, has been forced 10 remain out of the tournament compe- tition this year on account of busi- ness. and has stated that win or lose, this years national championship tourney will be the last he will play in.
 Mclaughlin is anxious to complete his meteoric career in blaze of glory, and for that reason will make a des- perate effort to win the titles in both singles and doubles. He has been working hard toward this end for the Last six months and has never been in better condition than he Is at pres ent. The Comet" started his early training in much the same manner that . boxer trains for a fight. He did plenty of road work to get his wind in shape and snoothed the kinks out of his muscles in the gymnasium. Me- Loughlfn already has won two legs on tas national championship singles cup and another victory will give him permanent possession of it.
 The famous Californian made his first appearance in actual competition in the East in the challenge round Of the doubles yesterday at 3:30 o'clock. In that match Mclaughlin became paired with Ward Dawson against

PONTIAC FIRST HOME
 IN OCEAN YACHT RACE

The sloop Pontiac, owned by W. H. Bowes, crossed the finish line of New Rochelle in the POS mile ocean race from Sea Gate last night at 9:45:30. She had covered the distance in 35 hours, 35 minutes, 50 seconds. which is at an average speed of 5.5 knots
 Although the Pontiac was the first to finish of the eight yachts that start ed from tho Atlantic Yacht club at 10:10 Saturday morning, she did not win the prize offered by Commodore L. T. Petersen, who promoted the race, because the committee at meeting on Friday sustained the protest of the owners of the other yachts that she is not a cruiser She will receive a spe- cial prize.
 Commodore Petersen's flagship the Florence conveyed the yachts nearly to Montauk Point. Fleet Capt. Alvah Nickerson, who with John R. Brophy and Samuel L. F'inlay of the regatta committee, and B. E. Ravens, were guests, of the commodore, said upon the yachts arrival at New Rochelle last night, that from the start until dark on saturday, the yachts had a nice reeze from the southeast which ena bled them to lie their cour3e down the south shore of Long Island.
 At 5:3O, he, said, when the Florence was a mile or so west of Shinnecock the oontiac was the leader. Daniel Racons schooner Seafarer, the second yacht at that time, was apparently overhauling the sloop. The Florence went on and anchored for the night in Fort Pond Bay. When she entered the Sound in the. morning, bound for New Rochelle, the Sea Ter, which had apparently come through Plum Gut, was in nid-Sound, ell in the lead, with the Pontiac close under the Long Island shore, going fast in a good southwest breeze. Sone of the other racers were seen astern, but also hug ging the same shore. probably to cheat the outging tide. The Florence then proceeded direct to New Rochelle, ar E1sGR1 AOo ak o'clock last night.

MERKLE LINENS BROOKLYN TEAM
 WITH PRESENCE

Cincinnati. Ohio, Aug. 28-The Sum- day crowd at Redland Field. number ing nearly 5000 persons, was enter tained by band, a cabaret and the antics of three one-time Federal league pitchers. The musical part of the program was all right and pleasing to the multitude, but the pitching end of the sketch was tragic. and Brooklyn, won, l3 to 6.
 Earl Moseley, Heine Schultz and Elmer Knetzer took turns in trying to stop the fierce attack of the Superbas, Moseley was rapped severely from the start When he filled the bases by walking Merkle when there were two men on and none out in the third round he was withdrawn to prevent further slaughter.
 Schultz had slightly better success. but before he got through all three of the runners left by Mosely on the bases had scored and another to go along with them. Knetzer was the worst of the three. He took up the burden in the fifth, and it was some burden. Before the round was over eleven men had gone to the bat, five of them had hit safely and three of them had been walked with the bases full. The round yielded six runs for the leaders, three of which were fore ed in by passes with the sacks clog ged. This is the acme of ineffective hurling, but "Matty" had no other pitcher to send in, so Knetzer had to work through as best he could.
 The. Reds hit Sherrod Smith rather hard and toyed with Big Ed" Apple ton in one inning, but the Brooklyn lead was far too great for them to overcome.
 Perhaps it was the renewed confi- dence inspired in the Superbas by the addition of Fred Merkle to their ranks that led them to swat the Red hurlers so ferociously. Merkle arrived from Pittsburgh with John J. McGraw. He reported to Wilbert Robertson, the Dodgers manager, at once and went noon. He played his usual steady game at first base and drove out two hits. but the best thing that he did was to revive tho tagging spirits of his new teammates. The psychological effect of MT. Merkle's presence was plainly evident.
 How the Superbas scored their bakers dozen" of runs would be space eater which can hardly be told here. The Reds got their half dozen by punching some bingles, but the most of them were only scored after She Dodgers twirlers had eased up.

The Geor- gia Peach made two attempts to steoi second arut was cut down in both in- stances on lightning throws by De- vine. Cobb, however. made himself solid with the fans by his peppery play. He was in the game every min ute and injected much life into the Colonial outfit by his continual chat ter. In two of the innings he sta- toned himself on the first base coacfl- ing line.
 Cobb toiled for two hours. For his services he received $291 per minute. This is the largest amount of money ever paid to a ball player in this state
