SHANNON BROTHERS . JUMP NEW HAVEN

New Haven, July 27-Packing their grips with clothes, bats and other personal property, Maurice and Jos eph Shannon, shortstop and center fielder, Jumped the New Haven base ball club shortly before noon yester- day and boarded a train for their home in Jersey City. Neither player would give any reason for his action. They merely went to the club house. took what belonged to them, and were we'll on their way before either Own CT Collins or Manager Murphy could get an explanation from them.
 Shortly after 6 o'clock last night Owner Collins received a telegram from the players which was filed in Jersey City. The telegram stated that they had been called home owing to the illness of their mother but they would return in time to play in to- days game. Club officials are not in clined to take the telegram serious ly.
 It was learned that the Shannons are none too popular with their fel- low players, members of the local club charge them with having been re- sponsible for more than their share of defeats this season. Both, it is claimed, are not the type of players who are willing to be taught. Their bid for individual glory, it is further argued, has handicapped the team work of the local club.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1891-Ted Pritchard defeated Jem Smith in three rounds at London In this battle of a quarter of a century ago Smith, the last of the bare knuckle champions of England, lost his title. He had previously been defeated by Peter Jackson, but when the Australian negro left England, Smith again claimed the heavyweight honors of that country. In a re- turn bout with Pritchard Smith turn ed the tables. but he was never much good after that, and was defeated by Dan Creedon. the Australian middle weight. Smith was a big, muscular Mellow, with shoulders like a. giant, although only feet 8 1-2 inches in height. The biggest battle of his ca reer was in 1887, when he went to France and fought Jake Kilrain for the worlds title, which was then claimed by Jake. Jem and Jake fought 106 rounds to a draw, accord ing to the official decision, although even the English fans admitted that the American proved himself the bet ter man. Jem was a fair fighter at his best but poor successor to the great champions who at one time fourished in England.

 LEONARD ARE FIT

New York, July 27-Freddy Welsh and Benny Leonard are physically fit for their bout at Washington Park tomorrow evening. pr.

 "Both boys are in wonderful form, '' declared Dr. Creamer. Welsh inter- ested me in particular, for I have ex- amined him several times in the past year, but he never was anywhere near to physical perfection as he is today. Leonard is bigger and strong CT than when ISexamined him for his contest with Johnny Dundee"
 Welsh went through a strenuous afternoons work yesterday. while Leonard kept plugging away at Mt. Kisco. The latter is determined to wrest the title from Welsh, and be- ieves he will win by a knockout. He says that Welsh will never give him another chance.

JOE WILLING IS
 COMING TO FRONT AS LIGHTWEIGHT

New York, July 27--Thereis is another lightweight who is fast coming to the front and is likely to become a prom inent factor in the situation before long,, The newcomer is Joe Yelling of Chicago, who made his first local appearance in over 8 year at the Broadway Sporting club, Saturday night. Yelling took the measure of Harry Pierce and showed great inn provement over the form he displayed at a Harlan club last year in his only other local appearance.
 On that occasion Yelling weighed over 140 pounds and appeared to be altogether too heavy for the light weight class, but last Saturday he scaled only 134. Yelling has a re- markable build for lightweight. He is as tall as many middleweights and is we'll developed in the chest and shoulders. He gets his height from his extra long legs which are as thin as stilts.
 I Yelling is a fairly good boxer, and what is more to the point, he knows how to hit. He snaps his blows, moving his fists but a. few inches. Twice he sent the rugged PiercS down for long counts with short, snappy jolts that shot over like fash We'll ing should have won the bout in the second round, but lack of experience prevented him from putting on the finishing touches.
 With great height, long reach and hitting ability far above the average, Yelling is dangerous man for any of the contenders and there is likely to be some lively sidesteppihg among those who have established reputa- tiOns

.MATTY RECEIVES FRIENDLY GREETING
 AL POLO GROUNDS

New York, July 27-Christopher Mathewson returned to the Polo Grounds yesterday as the chief of an alien clan, but from the greeting he received it might have been supposed that he was a conqueror returning to his home dragging the Cincinnati Reds captives at his chariot wheels.
 The fans, 15,O00 strong, gave him a welcome that has perhaps never been equalled on the diamond. To make his triumph complete, the Reds defeated the Giants by 4 to 2.
 Matty led his players on to the field shortly after 2 o'clock, and while the Seventh regiment band played Hail to the Chief" the rooters cheer ed their long time favorite to the echo.
 Then McGraw and the Giants crowded about the man who for so many years was their mainstay and their pride and extended congratula- tions that were as real as their affec- ton was deep. ..
 The finest, truest tribute that Matty received came just before the game. As. he walked out to give his battery selections to the umpire proceedings were halted while he was presented with huge basket of flowers.
 The members of both teams came out and grouped themselves about the plate. Suddenly the band struck up "Auld Lang Syne" and, almost as one man, those thousands of specta- tors in the stands instictively rose to their feet and uncovered their heads. nd aonoSinnC hoUo fhQ power to inspire the feeling which prompted this action.
 When Charley Herzog appeared in New York uniform he, too. was warmly greeted. There was also ap- plause for Slim Sallee, Eddie Roush and Bill McKechnie.
 Of course the credit for yester- days victory goes to Mathewson. We have not the slightest desire to de- prive him of an iota of the glory. There is very little doubt that he sig nailed to Wingo to wallop out the sac rifice fly in the seventh inning which scored Louden with what was really the winning run.
 While admitting all this, we still feel that we must give little credit to Pete Schneider, who held the Giants to five hits and pitched throughout with telling effect. After the third inning he permitted only one single, and during their last six sessions at bat just three Giants reached first.
 Slim Sallee made his first ap- pearance on the mound at the Brush Stadium in a New York uniform and made his disappearance/ /after twir!- ing eight innings. The Red> secured eight hits from Sallee, and would have had more if it had not been for some sensational fielding behind him
