Colorado Springs, Col, Sept. B. Midst scenes of excitement that in- cluded 0 disaster that has shocked and saddened Colorado Springs, a riot that involved cushion-throwing and bottle-heaving and a bit of gun-play, Freddy Welsh made a successful de- fense of his worlds lightweight cham Charley White, of Chicago, yesterday afternoon. Welsh received typical English referees decision from Billy Roche, of New York, his own hand cuffed official.
 From a standpoint of sportsman ship and considering the battle from an actual fighting angle, draw would have been much fairer ruling.
 Technically. the English boy had a slight shade on love taps, but he was guilty of holding and stallins through out, and this should have counted against him with Roche.
 The afternoon started with the south bleachers on Pikes Peak ave- nue falling to the ground with a deaf ening crash. Four hundred people dropped with the stand, and over three scores of them were hurt, some of them so badly hurt that they were taken to hospitals in ambulances. None were killed, and the doctors say none will die.

KILBANE KEEPS HIS TITLE BY PUTTING
 GEO. CHANEY OUT

Cedar Point, Ohio, Sept. 5-In less than eight minutes of actual fighting, Johnny Kilbane, of Cleveland, spoiled the hopes of George Chaney, of Balti- more, for the worrs featherweieht championship yesterday A terrific right smash to Chaney's jaw settled the battle near the en of the third round.
 The champions longer reach and greater defensive skill offset the spir- ited fight Chaney began with the sound of the first gong. The leads of the Baltimore lad were blocked easily for the most part by Kilbane.
 It was not until the third round that Kilbane cut loose, and then he did so with a vengeance. He rushed thee hallenger to the ropes with the opening of the round and drew blood with left to Chaney's face. Four times the men clinched in the third and Chaney tried by a vicious attack on the kidneys to weaken the cham pion.
 But Kilbane ran out easily from this attack, and, biding his time, hooked right to the point of the challenger's chin and spelled knockout and vic- tory. Referee Kinkle. tolling off the seconds with his right hand, strove vainly with his left to rouse the pros- trate Chaney. The challenger could not respond and the champion was declared the winner. .
 The match developed into a bloomer from the initial bell. Chaney, terri1 bly outclassed, did not put glove to the Cleye1ander in the first round He landed two half-hearted lefts in the. second and connected once in the third just before Kilbane. warmed to his task. applied the finishing touch.

MEETS WILLIAMS TODAY
 FOR TENNIS TITLE

New York, Sept. 5.-william M. Johnston of San. Francisco, present holder of the championship, and Rich ! ard Norris Williams 2d of Philadel- phia, title winner in 1914, emerged vtc- ftortous from the nat ational tennis semi finals yesterday afternoon before a crowd of 12.oOo: They met for the crown atlhalf-past o'clock today In winning their matches in three straight sets Johnston and Williams not only scored with unexpected ease. but set what is probably a record for, the ante-final round of the national Tournament. Johnston required only l5 minutes to dispose of Robert Lind ley Murray of Califarnia and New Jersey, 6A2. e3, 6-1, while Williams ! took only little more than an hour to eliminate Clarence J.N Griffin of San Francisco, 6--3, 6-3, 6-3.
 Johnston and Williams well nigh outc1assed their opponents. Each at, tained a height of form he had not approached this season, and made cer- tain a struggle in the final that will be well worthy of the honor and dig nifty of the title. Johnston played by far the best tennis he has shown in the East this year, while Williams was once more the remarkable and accurate driver who defeated Me : Loughlin in straight sets in the 1914 hnal &
 Johnston was invincible. He played avery bit as fine tennis as he did in beating Mclaughlin in the final last year, and his exhibition was all the more impressive because it lacked the nervousness that characterized his success over the Comet. Strength and confidence stood out in Johnston s every stroke. He knew he could beat Murray any time, and he showed very ea-ly that it was only a question of running out the necessary three sets,
 The Johnston Murray match was the more Interesting of the two It was Btarted at g minutes of and at 20 ! minutes after 1t was all over.

 The fight had a regular wild west climax, in which Referee Roche play ed g. leading and dangerous role. When the battle ended Roche was standing several feet away from the men, as White had been jumping about in an effort to get over a knock out punch before the last bell.
 When the gong clashed Welsh smiled bandly and rushed over to Roche. He grabbed Billy by the right paw and the official then held aloft the starboard glove of the boxer as a sign of victory. White took one look of hatred at Roche and walked gloomily back toward his corner.
 The second Welshs arm was raised on high, and as Freddy jumped be- tween the ropes and scampered away to his dressing room, there started n cushion bombardment aimed at Roche and the men in Welsh's corner. Cush- ions simply rained on and about the ring, and as many of the hurlers did not have the best of control. some of the padded seats fell far from the Welsh corner.

BROOKLYN DROPS
 FROM IST PLACE
 AND BRAVES LEAD

Philadelphia, Sept 5-Before two of the largest crowds that ever at tended a ball game in this city the to,tering Robins lost another doubie- header to the fighting Phillies here yesterday, and It the same time drop ped cut of first place in the National League pennant scramble.
 The Boston Braves are leading the league by two points, so there Is no cause for joy or any wild excitement in Brooklyn. This is the first time since May that Hobbies pets have liot been cut in front. As it is, they are now lied with the PhtIic3 Ter second r'ace.
 The National League champions won ths morning grme after a hard fought cKirmish by 2 to l. Moran was c o,npeiled to rush Alexander tEe Great to the rescue of Erskine Mayer in the ninth inning, after Cutshaw doubled and scored. on Miller's two- bagger. One little blow was all that was needed to deadlock the proceed ings, but O'Mara, batting for Ruc- ker, lifted fly to Cravath and an- other victory was chalked up for the Fhililes.
 The afternoon affair was a slaugh- ter for the champions chased over half dozen runs in the first inning, after the Robins had scored a lone tally in their half off Eppa Jeppa Rixey. The final outcome of this one- sided battle was 10 to 3.
 The shock of losing five straight games to the Phillies, as well as the lead, may prove fatal to the Brooklyn team, but Robbie is still hopeful and will not give up the ship until either the Phillies or the Braves have the flag cinched.
 It was estimated that more than forty-two thousand fans saw the dou- ] ble-header of their favorites over the Robins. Thousands were turned away at both games, while in the after noon the runways were so damned with spectators that it was almost inn possible to edge past them. @ Two mighty home rr1s won for the Phillies in the morning. Rube Mar ouard was nominated by Robbie to pitch this game. and the former Giant went along we'll until the third inn ing. when Bill Killifer lifted the ball into the left-field bleachers for a home run. Fred Luderus. the Cap tain of the Phillies. added another run to the champions credit in the fourth, and in the same manner as Killifer. Lnderus's home run, how ever, went sailing over the right field wall.
 Larry Cheney. who started the game for the Robins. lasted only third of an inning. Paskert slammed a dou- ble down the left foul line and Nie- hoff advanced him with a sacrifice Stock tripled to right and Paskert tailed. Cravath beat out an infield hit over Cheney's head and Stock crossed the plate. This was enough for Cheney, and Sherrod Smith took his place on the mound.

Speaking of Double
 Headers, Ever Hear
 of Sextuple Header?

In these mollycoddle days the poor overworked ball players .consioer themselves very much abused when they have to play two games In one day. but if they shrink from a double header what would they think or sextuple header? Eh, what? The records of professional ball show but one instance in which six games were played in a day. That was twenty seven years ago, Sept. 4, 1889, when Portland, Me-, and Manchester, N. H., were the oontesting clubs. Two or the pastimes were pulled off in the morn ing and four in the afternoon, Man chester winning all six of 'em. The Pine Tree lads grew weary of their drubbing, and quit when two innings of the last game had been played. the umpire awarding the victory 70 ssan- chester.
 The only quadruple header in a reg ular league to be dug up from the records took place in September twen- ty years ago, when the St. Joseph and Sioux City teams of the Western league played three five-inning games and one seven-inning contest. The league authorities permitted only one game to stand in the record of cham pionship contests.
 There have been a number of triple headers in baseball history. In Sep tember, 1896, Baltimore took three games from Louisville, in one day, both cities then being in the National league. In September. 1890, Brooklyn defeated the Pirates thrice in twenty four hours.
 In 1890 Saginaw took three nine- inning games from Montreal, and in the same year the Minneapolis club played three games in day, defeat ing Lincoln in the morning and de- feating St. Paul twice in the after noon. A little later Omaha bested St. Paul thrice in one day. Syracuse fig ured in three such baseball sprees. winning three from Toronto in Sep tember, 1896, losing a trio to Roch- ester on September 4, 1899, and win ming three from Scranton on Septem- Der 8, 1904. About the last of these bargain day offerings was staged at Tacoma in 1908. when the home club put the skids under Spokane three times in a row.

They came back strong in the afternoon and just barely beat the worlds champions out in a blazing ninth inning finish by a score of 4 to. A crowd of more than 10000 saw the morning affair and over 25,ooo persons were jammed into the big stands in the afternoon enter tainment.
 Bob Shawkey gave a great exhibi- ton of pitching in the afternoon, and for eight innings he had the Boston sluggers eating out of his hand. and held them to three hits Boston staged seething rally in the ninth and SCOT cd three runs. leveling up the score at to 8. In their half of the ninth the Yankees got busy on Carl Mays, and after filling up the bases Mays suncorked wild pitch and Lee Magee scooted home with the winning tally.

Till the pres, ent order code was transmitted, the players simply have been notified to be on hand at certain day.
