Cutshaw Going Along at Fast Pace During
 Recent Dodger Spurt

New York, July 3-George Cut shaw, the crack second baseman of the Brooklyn Robins, is just begin ming to discover his true value to the fans. Cutshaw is not an Eddie Col Nns or Larry Lajoie in looks. On the contrary, he is rather awkward, but he surely can get hold of the hardest hit drives into his territory and turn them into outs. Moreover, Cutshaw is a dangerous hitter. Pitchers have told us that they would rather face Ty Cobb than Cut shaw if hit were needed to win game. Cutshaw is graduate of Notre Dame University.
 Before his college days were over he played ball with Bloomington in the Three-I league under the name of Stevens, to preserve his "amateur'' standing. Eis advancement was rapid. He went, in 1909. to the Cast league from Bloomington, and after three years service there advanced to Brooklyn, where he has since been a fixture, each season seeing him be- come more valuable to his team, un- xii today, 1t Is repeated, there Is not q better second baseman in the game, and doubters have but to watch his work each day to have their minds convinced.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS
ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1911TPackey Mcfarland knocked out Young Ahearn in 9th round at Albany, N. Y. This was one of the rare occasions when the Chicago stockyards hero was in the mood for finishing his man, and he did the job with neatness and dispatch. Ahearn was then a lightweight and a compar- alive novice and had little of the cleverness he later developed. Packey outclassed him in skill and science for rounds, and in the 9th went in to finish his man. A shappy right punch to the chin dropped Ahearn for the full count. Ahearn wasn't knocked out again for nearly two years, when Mike Gibbons turned the trick in 4 rounds at New fork. He then went abroad and was knocked out by Ba- doud. the Swiss fighter who recently visited America and who now claims the welterweight title. After that Ahearn pulled off string of victories which made him the idol of Paris and London fight fans, and he was soaring high in his pugilistic. ambi- tions until he went to St. Paul few months ago and was again put to sleep by Mike Gibbons

JACK DALTON'S
 BIRTHDAY

John Dalton, who is better known as Jack, although not related to that famous melodrama villain. ''Unhand Me" Jack Dalton, celebrated his birth day .on the Fourth of July. Dalton was born in Nashville, Tenn. on that uproarious date in 1885. He first att tained to, diamond celebrity while a student at the University of Virginia. where he played brilliantly in the out field from 1905 to 1907. He>was of fered a job by the White Sox in 1908. but did not play, and his professional career really commenced in Des Moines in 1909, when he was among the leading swatters of the Western League, batting 1908 for the season. He was one of the swatting stars of the Brooklyn club in 1914. batting .319. but last year he was lured away by the Feds and joined the Buffalo club. Jack batted .294 for the Buffeds. considerable drop from his figure in the National League the preceding year. When peace was declared Dal- ton was signed by the Cincinnati Reds. but he couldn't agree on terms, and the deal was called of. Dalton was then taken on by the Tigers, but he didn't set the American League on fire and in May he was sold to the San Francisco Seals.

Reggie Lewis Winner of Conn. Golf Title in
 Finals at Greenwich

Greenwich. July 3-After struggle in which the tide of battle swayed re- peatedly from one side to the other, Reginald Lewis. Ridgefield, won the Connecticut golf championship, Sat urday afternoon, at the Greenwich Country Club, defeating Samuel J. Graham, of the home organization, 3 up and 1 to go at 36 holes.
 Neither player had ever reached the final before, although both had figured sensationally in the fixture several times. Lewis, who is a Princeton student. won the so-called Westches- ter championship at Wykagyl just a month ago. The intense heat slowed up the contestants and dried the greens so rapidly it was difficult to calculate their keenness.
 On the first round Lewis was 1 up on Graham. Their showing was the same at the turn, but ending the thir- teenth Lewis had three holes lead.

JERSEY CITY BOYS
 CLEAN UP GIANTS

New York, July 3-John McGraw's college forces took the field against the Jersey City independents at West Side Park yesterday afternoon, and poor old New York had to suffer an- other defeat. The score was to O. McGraw sat in the rear row of the grand stand and watched his hope fuls, re-enforced by several regulars, go through the motions of regula- ton setback. ..-.
 George Smith of Columbia pitched for seven innings and Pie Way or Yale finished the hurling task. Staff ford of Tufts played at second and Hunter of Linsley Institute held down third base. Benny Kauff, Night School 1909, was a somewhat inactive worker in centre field. [,
 The principal reason for the defeat of the Giants was a young pitcher by the name of Willie Kelliher, who cam not boast of even a night school diplo- ma, but swings mighty right arm neverthele Willie was recruited from the Southampton. L. T.. club. t1e held the New York to only four sim gles two of which came together in the eighth round. Then a double play saved him. .

ALEXANDER LIKELY TO LEAD HURLERS
 AGAIN THIS YEAR

Barring accidents, Grover Cleveland Alexander bids fair to again lead Ma tienal league fingers this year just as he did in 1915. when he allowed an average of 1.22 earned runs per game. Alex, to date, has won 12 games and lost four. This is stepping along as a pace many points ahead of his team. Last season he won 31 and lost 10.ss
 In 131 2-3 innings to date the star of the Phillies has been scored upon 25 times. which is an average of LII runs per nine-inning battle. He has been hit harder this season than in 1915. Last season he allowed 253 hits in 376 innings, while to date he has granted only 109 swats.
 Brooklyn has beaten Alex twice this season, while he has lost twice to New York. Six of his contests have been shutouts. This is half as many as he pitched in 1915.

 Shanty House held the slugging Springfield players scoreless for ten innings yesterday but in the 11th the Ponies took advantage of local errors, piling up three runs and beating Bridgeport to 0. House pitched re- markable ball against the best batting club in tho league and if the locals had not been helpless with the stick he would have won easily.
 Chief Laroy, the old time Indian pitcher, had the Bridgeport boys un- der his thumb. His splitter was too much for them. Only two hits were allowed.

EDDIE MARIAN OF :.
 HARVARD HURT IN :, WATERBURY GAME

Waterbury, July 3.-In a weird ex- hibitioa at Rockville yesterday after noon the Worcester Eastern league club at present in the throes of pro- longed winning streak, rallied in the eighth and ninth innings and defeated the Colonials by 5 to1. wT
 Umpire Frank Beecher failed to ap- pear for some unknown reason, and as consequence one of the Worces- ter twirlers undertook the arbiter's task. His decisions were such that a riot was narrowly prevented at vari- ous times and police interference was necessary to allow the game to pro- ceed. t&
 Eddie Mahan, who started in tbo box for the Colonials, stopped wicked drive in the first inning with his pitch- ing and, and was forced to retire, Wat rous relieving him. Eddie then re- paired to the outfield, where he pulled one of the greatest catches ever wit messed in Reidville, and made himself solid with the fans.
 McQuillen, erstwhi,e Toronto pitcher, was on the mound for Worcester and held thee ollegians to five hits. besides gaining a long home run himself.

 BLANKS YANKEES

~ Baltimore, July 3.-The Yankees may be considered winners or the big line, but on the exhibition circuit they find itheir troubles Yesterday afternoon at Back River Park Jack Dunn's Orioles
 whitewashed the American league pace settlers by 4 to o.
 The Yankees used a second string battery and had utility players in two loutfield positions most. of the game. Germany Schaefer held down third base in good style and amused the fans throughout the. contest.
 The game was featured by a re- lmarkable stop of Peckinpapgh. which developed into a double play, and the lpitching of Newton. The big South Carolina collegian, who made his pro- |fessiona1 debut with the Orioles a short time ago, held the big leaguers next to helpless. They got only six hits off his delivery and only two Yam |kees reached second base, one getting as far as third.

DEMAND GROWING FOR WILLARD AND
 JACK DILLON BOUT

New York, July 3-In the face of apparent reason the demand for a Willard-Dillon match will grow. Like the formerly we'll advertised baby in the bathtub reaching tor the soap, l the boxing fans will not be happy until they get it.
 Consider the principals for this pro- posed imbroglio. Jess Willard is still in the neighborhood of six feet six in silk or lisle thread hose, and by this time he is pressing the scales very close to the 300 pound mark Ernest Cutler Price is five feet seven and a half inches high, and being in the neighborhood of twenty-eight years of age he is not going to get much loftier as the months drift by. And the gross tonnage of MT. Price is under ITO pounds.
 That looks like more height and weight than David possibly could have given away to Goliath. Joe Walcott, when he was in the Giant Killing busi- ness, never took a chance like that.
 When Jess Willard arrived to pre- pareA for the match with Moran the name of Ernest Cutler Price, Or, ralh- CT, his fighting monicker, Jack Dil1,n, came up.
 "I won't fight him." declared Will lard. He's too small. Why, every body would be laughing at me-
 Just before this affair with Moran the thought of a Dillon-Willard match might have been considered a good foundation for some Follies gags. When Jack Curley signed Dillon with Willard for. the sake of getting Tex Rickard to raise his bid, he had some difficulty in keeping straight face about it. When Willard toyed with Moran it was generally conceded that a Willard Dillon match would be cruelty to animals, or something like that.
 The only person who took Jack Cur ley, seriously at the time was Ernest Cutler Price. He isla naturally seri- ous young man and never has made the mistake of understanding him. self Right now he is obsessed with the idea of bounding Willard into a meeting.
 If the popular curiosity grows so that it will Justify the offer of a purse the size of that Willard-Moran purse there will be a bout between Dillon and Willard. While Jess Willard ob- jects to it now on humanitarian grounds he may be induced to forget them when the coin materializes. And if Dillon should hit him and Willard should find it out. the big Kansan probably will sit on the giant killer.

IMPROVEMENT OF TANKS.

No manager ever got quicker and better results from a change in bat ting order than Manager Donovan of the New York Americans. The Yankee pilot shook the athletes up June 16 in Cleveland and his team has since climbed to first place after a steady diet of victory. Those who im- proved most after the change were Baker and Magee. The latter was sent from second to sixth position and has been hitting hard ever since. The Yankee owners were beginning to regret their purchase of Magee for $22,500, but now that he has started to hit, they are satisfied. Baker, too, has begun to clout in his old form. With the pitchers going at such top speed and the hitters doing their share, the Yankees chances for the 3ennant are regarded as excellent.
 The Boston Braves want to play an exhibition game in this city August 14. If it is possible to get permission from the Eastern league the game may be booked.

 McCann further stated that the club owners have too much money invested to lay down their oars. He sees chance for several of them to break even before the season is over, as there are ten weeks still remain ing.
 Conditions in New London are not as bad as reported, according to Mo Cam. There have been average daily attendances of 800 persons, he says, and the New London club will show a profit at the end of the season. The Planters have proved a big drawing card on the road, they seldom ever play before a crowd of under 1000.
