Sugar Market

New York, July 20.--The local market for raw sugar was quieter today, and as no further sales were reported, spot prices remained nominally unchanged. The undertone, however, was firm, and while buyers were still in the market at SAC for Cubas cost and freight, hold CTS were asking a slight advance. Spot prices were SAC for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 6.Nc for centrifugal and 5.50c for molasses.
 The market for refined sugar was steady. There was a fair business re- ported, but it was not up to expectations in view of the favorable weather. Prices were listed on the basis of 765c for fine by all reflners
 Futures were quite active and prices were firmer. closing to Il points net higher. The steadness of raws and the recent improvement in refined business prompted little better outside demand which, together with covering and some support from Cuban interests, accounted for the advance fn prices September sold from 535c to 5.40c, closing at .40c; December, 5.0Sc to 5.12c, closing at 5.11c; March, 4.51c, closing at 4.52c.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1S73-Matty Matthews, former well terweight champion, born in New York. Matty was product of the East Side'' of the, American metro polls. and since retiring from the ring he has made a living by working as a stage hand in New York theatres. Matty broke into the pugilistic lime light in 1900 when he knocked out Mysterious Billy Smith in New York and defeated Rube Ferns in Detroit. By these triumphs he became the &C., knowledged welterweight champion of the world, but he didn't retain that honor very long. In May, 1901, he fought Ferns again in Toronto and the Rube put him to sleep and ex- tracted his title in the 10th round. After that Matty seemed to grow dis couraged. Tom Couhig gave him a beating at Hot Springs, Patsy Swee- ney licked him at New Britain, Martin Duffy larruped him at Chicago, Rube Ferns bested him again at Fort Erie, and Honey Melody outpointed him at Boston. After this string of defeats Matty decided that as a pugilist he was a fine stage hand, and acted ac- cordingly. In his good days, however, Matty was there" or whereabouts all the time, and he was a real champ while he lasted

Ring Champions of
 Old Days Didn't Get
 Present Day Purses

New York, July 13.-Ring cham pions of other days moan every time they think about money paid, to the battlers of this eraA In the bygone times the warriors used to think for tune heaved It's sweetest smile if they received a thousand or two for their efforts. Now, top-notcher ssniffs at anything that doesn't run far along into the five figures.
 Frank Moran got $25,000 for his ef- forts against Jack Dillon and Dillon drew down S15,000. That's a $40, ,000 purse: far beyond anything that the greatest champions of old received. And both men were non-champions.
 The old boys fought better. hard CT and longer than the present crop of ringsters," "ssaid Jack McAuliffe, our ent fighters get from $1O,0OO to ESQ., 600 the old timers ought to have had about four times as much"
 Fitzsimmons fought often for less than $1,00O. Corbett, si1rewd as he was, frequently battled over decision route. for about one-twentieth of what Moran gspaeforg 10 rounds Mccoy, Gharkey, Jeffries, Sullivan and the oth- CT heavies oftentimes got as much for . whole fight as some of the men of to-day get for one round. A
 Joe Cans, greatest lightweiEht of all times, earned about as much during his entire ring career as Freddie Welsh has garnered in the last year or so. And Cans fought real fights while Welsh has done little else than to give folks dancing exhibitions.

' Cincinnati. Ohio. July 1s.-one hit was all the Giants made off Heinie Schultz. the portside hurler of Buck Heaxog's staff, but that one lone drive from the bat of Fred Merkle, coupled with desire on the part of Herzie's sensational centrefielder Neale. to show that all that has been said about his hetng a r,Wpnderful ground coverer is fYpea vas all that McGray;s men need ed to annex the second game of the series by 1 to o. The contest was de- 1ayed by rain in the early innings, and
 finally had to be called with the Giants taking their turn at bat in the seventh, the game reverting back to the end of the sixth. NNls
 The 4Aants went out and won in the fifth inning. Doyle hoisted fly into right Neale. who is playing his first year in fast company, and who has all ways gained reputation of being just as fast as the best of them in covering ground, set sail for Doyle's effort. He reached 1t in time to collide with Tom Grin1th. with the result that Griffith dropped the ball and Doyle camped on second. Arerkle rolled one safe past Fisher. the only Giant hit of tho game, and Doyle scored.

DOC MORE, OLD EASTERN PITCHER, IS
 CLEVELAND DOCTOR

Doc More, who will be remembered by local fans as pitcher for Spring field in the old Eastern association. has blossomed out into a sure enough bonesetter. The New York Mail has the following story about him:
 As a firm believer in preparedness Manager Lee Fohl, of the Cleveland Indians, has introduced the rather nov el plan of carrying his own hospital corps with him on the road. That is to say, he has doctor travelling with his club.
 On their present trip through the East the Indians are being accom- panied by Dr. Charles Edward More, a registered practitioner and osteo- path, who is on hand to take care of the naimed and injured, give relief for the dreaded Charley Horse" and to replace such muscles as get out of place on any of the athletes.
 pr. More was once a pitcher him. self. In 1911 his arm became lame and he had to go to the minors. He was with Springfield for the next three seasons, and during that time was con- stantly passing out two-dollar bills to doctors for relief. He finally decided he would take up osteopathy hmiself as the cheapest method of getting his arm in shape.
 So he studied and took the necessary examinations a year ago. Last sea- son he was able to pitch better than he had for four years. Manager Fohl had known him in the days when he was manager of the Waterbury, (Conn.) club when More was with Springfield This season, when Fohl had so much trouble with injuries to arms and legs on his club he got Dr. More to join the club.
 Already More has put Coveleske in shape. The pitcher was getting lame arm from too constant work since Mor- ton was injured. CovelesK.e was abI, to pitch last Saturday and again. on Monday. Morton has als ? come in for attention. The Cleveland star is reported to be getting along nicely
 Terry Turner, who returned to the game after an absence of three weeks, was also another patient of the clubs doctor. He twisted his ankle in game against the Yankees at Cleveland and until the series here had not been in a game. Dr. More worked on the ankle and got him back into the bat ting order

M'LAuGHL|N WILL
 COMPETE ONLY IN
 TfTuLAR TOURNEY

New York, July 13.-Maurice Evans Mclaughlin, the famous California Comet, one of the most popular play will make a bid to regain the national tennis championship this year in the 'titular tourney which starts at the West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills, Long Island, late next month, but will be missing from the other. big tennis fixtures in the east The Comet origi- nally planned to go over the whole of the eastern circuit, but according to word received from the Pacific coast has found that his business will not permit of his leaving California until the last minute.
 That does not mean that the me- teoric red head intends to lay off ten his entirely. On the contrary, he has been playing tennis right along and intends doing so right up to the time he leaves for the east. As a ious to get his name on the champion is working harder than, he ever did before. The conqueror of Norman E.. Brookes and the late Anthony F. Wild lu6p tAlC ldIuO uS <AuSlI UcSlucS wishing to take the third leg, which will give permanent possession of the cup, wants to show that he can come back, or as some of the Californians put it, that he has never gone away
 Mclaughlin is working out in much the same way that a prizesfighter trains for big bout. He has been putting in many arduous hours doing road l moments to devote to gymnasium work and tennis. Mclaughlin gave first evidence of the fact that he could not have gone back very far by winning the Pacific coast doubles with Ward Dawson as his partner. This means that Mclaughlin will come east little in advance of the national champion ships, but he probably will play at the Onwentsia Club in Lake Forest, Ill.,, where the elimination doubles will be held.

HOUSE TWIRLS IN GREAT FORM AND
 BRIDGEPORT WINS

Springfield, July 13.-"Shanty'' House, the Springfield college boy, held the Green Sox to four hits at League park yesterday afternoon, and twirled his Bridgeport team to a 3-to-2 vic- tory. House was puzzle. The Green Sox had several athletes strand ed on bases because they could not fathom the varsity delivery. Eight of them went down on strikes.
 La Roy undertook to carry along the Springfield pitching burden, but in the two innings he was on the job he look ed soft. He was removed iii the sec- ond inning to make room for a pinch hitter. Daniels relieved him and did fine work. Everett Booe of the locals kicking himself out of the game after he struck out in the fifth inning, and Duggao doing likewise when he was nailed trying to steal home in the seventh.
 The Green Sox were aided in SCOT ing on the student by faulty work of Shortstop Whalen in tne eighth. one out, whalen fumbled Hammond's grounder. Then he heaved the ball past We're and Hammond scooted on to second. Flynn got his fourth pass and the last ball was @ wild pitch that put Hammond on third. Low came to time with double up against the, high screen in left field and Hammond talllied, Flynn taking third. Riconda's sacrifice fly brought Jack in. Stephens whanged into deep center, but Blake by a remarkable piece of sprinting and fine judgment got under the ball.
 S Bridgeport got onto La Roy at the start, Blake and Ball soaking him for singles. Duggan sacrificed. Deininger1 grounded to Hammond, who had an easy chance at the plate. Hammond threw several fathoms over Ste phen's head and both runs came in. Baker and Whalen gave the outfield- ers satisfactory exercise. Two were gone in the third round when Bridge port got what proved the winning run. Baker reached first on an option and stole second. Whalen sent up an easy fly to Riconda. but the ball was ingloriously muffed, and Baker crossed the plate with the margin of victory. The score:

DILL0N-LANCFORD MATCH LIKELY TO
 BE FIXED SOON

/ New York, July 13-Prespects of a match between Jack Dillon and Sam Langford form the current topic of conversation in boxing circles >just now. Barring Jess Willard, whose position prohibits him from indulging in mixed bouts. Dillon is the first white man to appear since Stanley Ketchers time who is not regarded as setup for the Boston terror. Now that the ban on mixed bouts has been lifted and Dillon has fought his way through the ranks of those who care~f for his game, speculation naturally centers on whether the White Sam Langford" is as formidable as his colored proto- type. ts
 If the demand for this bout contin- ues to grow. it may be one of the big events staged next fall. Dillon prob- ably could be induced to accept, al- though he is by no means enthusiastic about it. But he has no objections tha tmoney will not overcome and it will. be simply a matter of making him large enough offer.

OLDRINC SAYS
 HE WILL JOIN TANKS AT ONCE

Philadelphia, July 13.-Rube oldring will positively go to New York tonight to join the Yankees. When called up on the telephone at his farm at Shiloh, N. J., last night, Oldring asserted that he had completed all arrangements to play out the season with the New York Americans.
 Immediately after the second defeat of the Yankees in New York last eve ming, Bill Donovan telephoned to Old ring and beseeched him to accept the New York clubs terms After consid- erable conversation in which, it is pre- stunned, Donovan raised his offer. Old ring consented to quit the farm and appear in a Yankee uniform. He will play for the Yankees in right field.
