 OF RING BATTLES

1727-James Figg defeated Ned Sutton in boxing match in London. This was the first contest in the his tory of the modern ring in which anything like a championship was in volved. F1gg, the father of boxing, was generally recognized as without a peer in that line until Ntd Sutton, a Gravesend pipemaker. dared to challenge his supremacy. The prime minister of England, Horace Walpole. and a lot of other prominent men; were among those present at Figgs- amphitheatre on the day of this his tortc battle. The program commehc- ed with exhibitions by some of Figg's pupils, and then Figg and Sutton faced each other, broadswords in hand, for the supremacy was to be de- cided by three events, swords, boxing and cudgels. Figg won the event with the swords, and then the boxing bout comenced. It was evident from the start that it was to be a test of brute strength, for Sutton knew. nothing of the science of boxing. Sut- ton gained the first fall. For a time. Ned held his own, but in the sixth round he was ready to cry quits and acknowledge that he had met his master. Sutton was game, however. and tackled Figg with the cudgels,
 but again the champion was the
 master, and the bout ended when Ned's knee was broken.

| PENN CREW MAKES
 GOOD SHOWING OVER POUGHKEEPSIE COURSE

Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 6- Rough water yesterday morning cur tailed the work of the college crews and heavy rain squalls prevented their getting on the river until late this evening, but once they were boated for the afternoon practice, they in dulged in the hardest kind of work.
 The Pennsylvania varsity eight, which had not rowed a single four mile stretch previously, had it's first spino over the regatta course under almost ideal conditions when dusk was falling, and in time trial covered the four miles. from Crum Elbow to YeI- low Point, in 20 minutes 25 seconds. The ttide was ebbing, but there was practically no wind, so that the per fornlance of the Quaker eight was extremely gratifying to Joe Wright.
 Charles F. Courtney, looking rested after his Sunday of relaxation, was at the boathouse when the Cornell crews took to the water, looking as hale and hearty as ever, but he was a bit shaky when he walked and he was not the Courtney of old to those who know him.
 The Colum bia varsity rowed in bet ter form than at any time since it has been on the Hudson.

HARVARD CHEERS YALE OARSMEN AS TWO BOATS PASS

New London. Conn. June 6-Har- wards rowing squad reached Red Top shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday after noon, the Varsity being taken up to quarters on the launch John Harvard, while the freshmen journeyed by train. The oarsmen were ordered in to their rowing togs by Head Coach Herrick, and the shells were launch ed in quick succession, the A and B Varsity crews rowing across the riV- CT to the starting flag, and the fresh men padding on their own hook dia- gonally down the stream.
 Yale's Varsity crews passed down the course while Harvard was pre- pairing to get away A big river tug came sweeping down from Montvi1le, and Coach Herrick, to avoid the wash, started the crews before some of them could doff their sweaters.
 As the Cambridge men passed the naval station, Yale's carmen were resting on their oars, and gave the arrivals a, rousing cheer. Later when Ya1e's crews rowed past Red Top, the Harvard squad returned the compli- ment.

MACK DECLARES
 MYERS IS FIND OF / REGENT SEASONS

ttI consider Elmer Myers the great est pitcher I have developed during my IS years connection with the Athletics. Myers is not a good pitcher, as some of the critics have been good enough to say, but a great pitcher. He fs a better pitcher today than when Coombs, Plank and Bender were in their prime, and I consider that trio a most wonderful collection of twirl- CTS. Ayers is agEeat epitcter sbecause
 he has everything with the possible Exception of the control of Bender, but he is fast acquiring that"
 Such is the glowing tribute Connie Mack recently paid his latest sensa- ton, Elmer Myers of York Springs, Pa! Myers is a twirler built on the Jack Coombs style, tall and gaunt, vet boasting a broad pair of shoul-
 ders Possibly he is d trif1e taller
 than Coombs. He has long pair of
 arms and an easy, sweeping style of
 delivery.
 He Bitches with no effort One mo- nent he pitches with a long windup, the next ball he delivers may come with the windup cut in half In such cases, the ball is on the batter before he realizes it, as he usually
 figures on the long windup- He has pienty. of sped, a fast and slow curve, and best of all, pretty fair change | of pace, which is bound to grow bet ter as he gains experience
 Of the first Il games won by the Athletics Myers won five. Joe Bush i contributed the same number of vic tories. while Majors came through i with the other win.
 1 Mack has not picked any soft spot: for the youngster, in fact, he has l stacked him up against the very bes the opposition could offer He beai : Washington with Johnson up, down ed Detroit with Coveleski pitching i got his brackett over St. Louis witt I Plank on the mound, and beat Chi cago with Faber opposing him.

MARIAN, HARVARD STAR,
 WANTED BONUS TO GO \ WITH CLEVELAND CLUB
(SpOrting NewS.)

Eddie Mahan, Harvard's crack var sity pitcher, is amateur, but he has the professional attitude, if what comes from Boston is true. According to the story, a representative of Ma ham, approached Lee Fohl, mana ger of the Cleveland club, and asked what bonus he would give Mahan for sign ing a contract.
 "Bonus?'' replied Fofll. Get off your foot. Tell this Mahan person to come out to the ball park and let me look him over. If he's any good, I'll give him a trial. If he isn't, I'll take back the uniform
 Mahan may be fine college pitcher But there have been other fine college pitchers who turned out to be bloom CTS in fast company.

Pitcher MuIrennen from Providence of the International league, reported to the Bridgeport club today for a tryout. He is a youngster picked up by the Boston Red Sox and sent to Providence for seasoning. ~Outfe1d- CT Steve Manning, secured from New London, also wired he would report today. He was carried as. utility man by the Planters but as New Lon don signed an extra pitcher, it was necessary to let another player go. Manning is said to be a good hit ter.
 Pitcher House, the Springfield col Iege twirIer, who reports here Satur- day. is a professional but has been attending college to fit himself for a job as physical instructor. Last year he twirIed in the Northwestern league, the strongest Class club in the country. He won eight and lost the same number.
 Howie Baker was on hand yester- day but it was thought advisable to give him a days practice before put ting him into the lineup. When he and Manning get into the game some changes will be necessary in the local club but Manager Ball had not de- cided today just what would be done.
