i Billy Miske Comes to New York Tonight for
 Bout With Joe Bonds

New York, July 24-There will be a 10-round bout between Billy Miske, the St Paul light heavyweight, and Joe Bonds, of Pike's Peak, at the Broadway Sporting club, of Brook lyn, tonight.
 Miske has not appeared in a ring around New York for many months After an suspicious start, in the course of which he sent all the bash full heavyweights scurrying to cover at the mere mention of his name, St. Paul Billy injured one of his hands and had to cancel all his scheduled bouts The bunch of fivs mended but each time Miske got we'll into his training again he met with other acci- dents and finally went back home to recuperate.
 Two or three times we have seen Joe in action at local clubs, and each time we wondered why Annette Kei- lermann had not add him to her troupe of diving Venuses. Perhaps Joe gained his skill by diving from Pikes Peak every morning before breakfast. Even Tom Cowier could not hit the canvas more nifty.
 However, it is possible we may be mistaken in Bonds. Listen to what John Dunn says: 'The stellar. event tonight will therefore furnish real scrap from the tap of the gong. Bonds has fought K. O. Brennan 10 fiercely waged rounds at the above club, and his gameness won for him a host of admirers.
 Miss Kellernann has most of ad- mirers, too.

PIRATE TWlRLER
 GIVES GIANTS THE
 THIRD WHITEWASH

New York, July. 24-With old Hans Wagner back in the game at first base, the Pirates halted in their downward career long enough to take a I to 0 victory from the Giants at the Polo Grounds yesterday. It was a pitching battle between McGraws s star. Ferdie Schupp, and Wilbur Cooper, and when the duel of the southpaws was finished Cooper had much the better of it. As far as ball playing goes. the Pittsburgh troupe put up the smoother performance and deserved the victory.
 The Giants were not disgraced in failing to hit the remarkably fine pitching .that Cooper displayed. It is only the third time that the Giants have been shut out this season. Miller, another of the Pirate pitchers, did the trick some time ago, and Dick Rudolph of Boston scored the other shutout against McGraw's men. Cooper had a world of speed and his curves broke at unhittable angles. The only Giant batsman who was at all successful in reaching the Buc- cancers twists was Art Fletcher, who made three safe raps on three trips to the bat.
 The game was decorated with many fielding gems, both pitchers getting great support. Two double plays by each club saved the southpaws from considerable embarrassment. One of the doublep lays executed by the Giants was played backwards. With one out in the fourth, Hans Wagner singled to left. Ward smashed a grounder to Herzog, who tried to get Wagner on his way to second, but foxy old Hans refused to be put out and tried to delay the play. Herzog chucked the ball to first, getting Ward, and Holke snapped the ball back to Fletcher at second in time to double up Wagner.
 The Pirates tried a new infielder yesterday in Norman BoeckeI, who started the game at third base. Boeckel comes from Great Falls in the Northwestern league, where there is plenty of ice and snow. The heat that b1azed down over Coogan's Bluff was too warm for the boy from the Northwest, and he had to retire in the second inning when he was about half melted away.

WHO OWNS FIRST SACKER SAFER OF /
 LAST YEAR CUBS?

New York, July 24.-Up at the Polo Grounds the official score card these days is informing the public that Vic tor Safer is among the entourage of Hugo Bezdek, skipper of the Pirate craft. In Chicago they are announc- ing that Victor is a free agent, so rendered by the action of the Chicago Cubs. Now comes Victor with a per sonal deposition to gum up all under. standing.
 Forced out of the game some two months ago, Vic has been browsing around in his native Michigan. Since he has been able to hobble around on his broken leg, he has spent much of his time fishing. A few days ago he returned to Lansing, where he was approached by a. scout for the Pitts burg club. Whereupon he communi- cated the information that he still is a Cub. At least he believes he is, and cites the fact that he still is drawing his pay check from the Cub exchequer, which is reliable proof. Now who owns Safer?

ED WALSH JOINS
 BRAVES BUT CUBS
 SAY HE WON'T DO

Boston, July 24-An incident in baseball this season was the signing of Ed Walsh by the Braves. It was up to Stallings to do something, as the departure of Hank Gowdy left a big hole in the singing department. Welsh knew about it and he made 8 special trip from Meriden, Conn, last Friday, bringing his music roll along.
 From 2:10 o'clock in the afternoon until $40 Ed and Stallings were closeted in the piano room. The Meriden Mocking Bird sang "Silver Threads Among the Gold" Wake Up, America and My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean,"
 It, is said MT. Stallings was charm ed by Eddy's rendition and signed him to a good contract. The pitcher reported yesterday. : Walsh says he is as good as ever. but no one would be- 1feve him. He may beat the Cubs. but that is no criterion.

TONEY CAPTURES
 HIS I7TH VICTORY
 OF PRESENT YEAR

New York, July A N-Freh Toney of "Billy Goat Hill" in old Tenn, pitched Matty's irresistible Reds to their tenth consecutive victory over the hapless Robins and into second place, as we'll as scoring his seventeenth victory of the season, at EbIbets Field yesterday afternoon. The Old Masters pupils bombarded Sherrod Smiths curves to various parts of the field and won handily by to 2.
 'fMatty has a great ball club,''~ re- marked one of the fans as he was leaving the grounds. A great ball club is right. The Reds are playing the game as it should be played, taking every advantage of the other fellows mistakes and running the bases dar- ingly.
 In the seventh inning yesterday Hal Chase reached first on Cutshaw's low throw and then stole second, although the ball was only two feet away from Daubert. Daubert never expected such a move and before he could pick Up the ball Chase was almost at sec |ond.

THIRD . EASTMAN BREAKS
 ANKLE IN CONTEST

New Haven, July 24-Billy White, third baseman of the Lawrence club, sustained broken left ankle in slid ing to home plate in the seventh inn ing of the game between New Haven and Lawrence at Savin Rock, yester- day afternoon. Dr. Collins examin- ed the injury and stated that White the remainder of the Eastern league season.
 White was first batter to face Walker, the New Haven pitcher, in the seventh and led off with a single to right field. After Gaston had been retired on a foul fly to Miller, White took second while Fuller was being tossed out at first by Walker. Kane then shot long single to right field, and White made desperate ef- fort to score on the hit. Nutter's one hand stab and perfect throw beat White by foot. In sliding to the plate the cleat on Whites shoe be- came caught in the dirt, fracturing his left ankle. White tainted and had to be carried to the bench by Law renee players.
 Manager Flynn of the Lawrence club stated last night that Whites in- jury will prove a big blow to the team. White, according to Flynn has played stellar ball at third base and has been hitting well. Flynn plans to play Simmons at third base temporarily and will use either Will Hams or Murphy in the outfield pending the return of Porter, who has been on the hospital list for a month.
 White tried out with the New Ha- ven club earlier in the. season and was released because he didn't appear to be in the best of shape.

RISE OF CARDINALS.


 The rapid rise of the Cincinnati Reds in baseball society has caused the fans to overlook to some extent the equally great spurt of the St. Louis Cardinals. It is strange that the two clubs started their climb at about the same time, too.
 During their last home stay they began to improve in all. departments and made lots of trouble for eastern teams. It was predicted they would crack on the eastern swing but in- stead of that both Reds and Cardinals fbettered their positions. Tho Car dinals lost some close games to the Giants but after they escaped from McGraw's clutches they began the upward march again. How they have swept into second place by kicking the Phillies around. The Phillies are a tough crowd to beat on their home grounds, too, because of the short fence
 Sport writers say the Reds have a better. hitting club than the Cardinals but claim the Cards have more good pitchers. At any rate the rise of these two clubs has done a lot to arouse enthusiasm in the West where National league dpubs have been weak in recent years.
 Scout Jimmy Sheckard of the Chi cago Cubs was at Sav1n Rock again yesterday watching the New Haven and Lawrence clubs in combat. It is said Sheckard likes Pitcher Weaver ot New Haven pretty well and also thinks Shortstop schreiber of Law renee a good prospect. In addition to

Aircraft Bill Ready
 For Wilson's Approval

Washington, July 23-President Wilson's approval of the s640.000.o00 aviation bill, passed by the senate on Saturday, was necessary yesterday to set in motion machinery for the ere ation of the greatest fleet for fighting.
 It is generally known that the bill is intended to provide for about 22,000 aeroplanes and almost 100000 men to operate them.

being lively fielder, schreiber is also a hard hitter.
 Bridgeport goes to Lawrence today and will be on the road for the bal ance of the week. Gingras or Tuckey will get the pitching assignment to- day. The next home game will be on Sunday when New London will fur nish some excitement at Newield.
 It looks as if the Chicago Cubs have too many veterans in their lineup. Manager Mitchell made a clever show ing in the early weeks of the season when his pitchers were in excellent form but lately the whole club ap pears to have slumped. Mitchell must inject some young blood into the bat ting order.
 Manager Bezdek of Pittsburg has already discovered that handling pro- fessionaA ball players is different from bossing college athletes. Last week he had to suspend Pitcher Mamaux for breaking training rules and yesterday he put the skdds under Inf1elder Pitler for disobeying orders.
 Eddie Roush, the Cincinnati slugger, went crazy with the heat yesterdday. He got four hits against Brooklyn, including two doubles.
 Frank ORourke, the former Bridge port shortstop, is receiving chance almost every day to get into the game for Brooklyn. He hasn't been able to make a hit yet although he has drawn several passes. From what the critics say ORourke evidently has not recov- cred from the hitting weakness which bothered him when he went from Bridgeport to the Braves.

JOHNNY PRIEST IS
 MAKING SPURT IN CLOUTING FOR B'P'T

Owing to the quiet manner in which he performs his work Johnny Priest. the Bridgeport second base man, has not received full credit for the wonderful improvement he has made within the past few weeks. In the early part of the season Priest was batting around .250, but lately he has beRn $assaulting the pitchers so savasely sthat he has advanced to .2s4. xnother good week and he will be in the 300 class.
 King Lear has increased his aver age but Jack Egan slumped so badly that he dropped out of the 300 cir cle.

Sporting Comment

Charles Boardman, a St. Louis Cardinal discard, pitching for Min neapolis, twirled rings around Mar win Goodwin, a new Cardinal star, in the Millers-Brewers game of July g. Such things will happen in baseball
 Though President Hickey of the American association, announced that his umpires would not put players out of the game, but that fines would be the punishment for bad conduct, 1t is noted that players are being chased in the same old style.
 Old Three Finger Brown, right again, pitched a great game for Co., lumbus against Kansas City on July 12 He pitched shutout ball until the ninth, when the Blues managed to nick him for two runs that did no damage.
 There ought to be a lot of ma terial ready to pick up for tryouts in the big leagues since the suspension of the Three I league and others. There are about 125 strong young men, willing to work, and out of a job.
 Bill Donovan is carrying one great sorrow around in his heart, and that is the failure of Mogridge and Gull lop to come up to his expectations. There was every indication last sea- son that they could be counted on to win great many games. But they have both had a bad slump. Another man who has been hand ed a big dough bag in which to dig down deep for new players is Fred l Mitchell, manager of the Cubs. Own CT Weeghman of that tean. is ready to part with considerable coin of the i realm in order to get the right men for his outfit.
 Clark Griffith still wants Napoleon Lajoie of the Toronto club. But President McCaffrey thinks too much | of Napoleon to let him go for any or dinary consideration.
 Ray Caldwell, Yankee pitcher, who likes to go out on a toot every now | and then, and who has paid several 1 thousand dollars in fines for break | ing the training rules, has once more promised to behave himself. For i tha treason the owners of the Yan-
 kees have turned down several very
 good offers for the big twirler. l The fancy prices being paid for
 some of the ball players in the ma | for leagues is enough to arouse the
 envy of any dozen fancy priced
 eggs.
