Benny Leonard to Meet
Ted Lewis September 10

Among some followers of boxing
Leonard's illness yesterday will take
some of the lustre off his match with
Ted Lewis for the welterweight title,
which was completed yesterday. Plans
were completed for staging the bout
at Wiedenmayer's Park, in Newark,
under the direction of the Airdrome
Athletic club, on Tuesday night, Sep

There were two other bids. The
first was from a Boston club, which
offered SIS per cent. and a guarantee
of $4,000. Philadelphia went the
Hub promoters 50 600 better on the
guarantee, with similar percentage
The Airdrome club envelope contained
an offer of 35 per cent. to Leonard
with a guarantee of $4,000, and rs per
cent. to Lewis, with a guarantee of
$4,000. Charlie Harvey, the weller
weight champions new manager, de-
manded better division for his man.

ter Leonard's affairs, declared he
would not cut the prize any other way
Harvey gave in and articles were sign
ed. The Airdrome promoters then
signed Jack Curley to assist them in

Sanders was then summoned to re-

Sanders's rescue work didn't help
much. for his first effort was a wild

grounder. This throw let in OrNeill

Speaker singled, scoring Graney,

then lifted fly to Hummel, ending

CUDGEL BREAKS
TRACK RECORD
Defeats Westy Hogan By
Head, Clipping 8 Seconds
From Old Mark.

Saratoga, Aug. 17-Commander ].
K. L. Ross Cudgel was victor yes
terday afternoon over Wilfred Viau's
Westy Hogan in the most stirring
horse race that has been run this
season. These great four year olds,
both owned by Canadians, fought it
out in the Schenectady Handicap at
mile and three-sixteenths and at the
finish it took the best efforts of joe
key Sande to land Cudgers nose in
front.
The excitement was intense as Cud-
gel gradually cut down the long early
lead enjoyed by the son of Dick Fin
nell. and due recognition was given
to Westy Hogan for his gallant strug-
gle against the handicap king, for
when he returned to the scales he
received an ovation that exceeded in
volume the cheers that had previ-
ously greeted the winner.
There was every reason to applaud
the loser, as he was largely respon-
sible for the track record Of 1855
which fell to the credit of Cudgel and
which shaved three-fifths of a sec
ond from the mark made by Erfilade
on Aug. 8. incidentally the time Of
today's race is a new American rec
ord for the distance.
Westy Hogan, which carried 1875
pounds to 131 by Cudgel, began the
contest in his usual free running
manner. Little Hummer did not
| have to ask him to exert himself, for
he dashed to the front as soon as the
barrier went UP and kept increasing
his pace until he had turned the
first half mile in DAT 2-5.
By this time Bondage and Ticket,
the other starters, were outclassed,
| but Cudgel was held under restraint
| by Sande as ne followed the leader
with a length or two of daylight Sc
| parating them. AS the flying Westy
| Hogan turned the far corner he had
| increased his lead to three lengths,
but Sande was still inactive on the
favorite and appeared to be in dan
ger Of undertaking his opponent, as
| Westy showed no signs of weakening
| though he passed the three-quarter
pole in 1:12 is and the mile in
| 1897 2-5.
Just before reaching the home
turn Sande realized that westy would
not come back and that if he wanted

have to ask Cudgel to give up his
best. He shook Cudgel up and the
big bay took little urging as he sci

Army and Navy May
Clash on GridirOn

Annapolis, Aug. 17-Whether or not
the football game between the teams
of the Naval and Military academies
is to be played this year is a matter
which must be settled within short
time or the necessary arrangements
canot be made. AS it now stands it
is barred by the rule promulgated by
the Secretaries Of War and Navy pro-
viding that all athletic contests must
be played on the home grounds. 1t is
necessary to secure a waiver of this
rule to make the playing of the game
practicable, but the authorities of
neither institution are in position to
ask for it. If the game is to be play
ed the department heads must act on
their own initiat i've.
When the United States entered the
war competitions with outside teams
were barred for a time both at An
napolis and West Point. Then the
permission of the departments was OBJ
tanned to the playing of match games,
but on condition that all games were
to be played on the home grounds.
The officials now feel that they cannot
ask for further concessions.
Many believe that there would be
no objection if Secretaries Daniels and
Baker could be induced to consider
the matter. 1t is we'll known that
both enjoy sports and favor a great
deal of athletics In the service. The
Army-Navy football game, is, of
course, the big service athletic event
! of the year, and no contest would ex-
cite so much interest, particularly as
the bigger football institutions will not
play, or only play in small way, this
season.
1t has been suggested that the game
be played either in New York or
Philadelphia, and that the receipts be
| given to the Red Cross or other war
activity.
Should the service game be per-
mitted there is little question that the
great interest of the football season
would centre in the work at Annapolis
and West Point. Though such pow
erful teams as the University of Pitts
burgh, Georgia Tech, Colgate, Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania
State, and others, will be playing as
usual, no contest can possibly excite
such general interest as the Army
Navy game. All through the service
and wherever there are Americans
there would be deAp interest in the
games.
Thre Is every reason to believe thai
the service teams will be strong ant
evenly matched this year. At Annap.
oils the prospects are for as strong
team as has ever represented thu
; Navy. Coach Dobie made wonderful
team last season, and will be bacl
again this year. He will have eight o.

INDIANS TROUNCE
SCOREl2-4

New York, Aug. 17.---Ray Chapman,
the Cleveland shortstop, and Smoky
Joe Wood were the principal factors
yesterday in the unwholesome rout of
the Yankees at the Polo Grounds
two players the Indians carried away
as a remembrance of their final game
of the series a IL to 4 triumph over
the Higgins crew.
Chapman's part was mainly vocal,
while Woods was physical. Ray was
the instigator of a TRADE against Joe
Finneran, which started in the third
inning and didn't end until the fourth
was nearing completion. By that time
the Indians had the game safely
tucked away. Wood raped out four
lusty wallops in five trips to the
plate. stole home, and sent three
Cleveland runs over the plate with his
blows.
Finneran's pitching, starting the
game, held much Of promise. Del
Pratt added to the hope of victory in
the first inning when he belteo a,
home-run drive into the left field
bleachers,, sending in Baker, who had
been passed, before him. But when
Chapman started using his voice on
Finneran there was a magic trans
formation, and the Indians had a wild
procession over the base paths. Chap
man just rode" F,inneran out of the
game, and while Joe's angora was
ambling about the lot, the Foil clan
pounded the Yanks into submission.
Chapman, after carrying on a YER
bal assault on Finneran in the third,
continued to unnerve the Yankee
pitcher when he faced him in the
fourth. The Indian shortstop beat out
a hit to Fourier, and after Speaker
had skied out stole second. This had
a further disquieting effect on Fin
neran, and Wood belted a double to
left which registered Chapman. On
Johnston's out Wood went to third,
and while Finneran was serving to
Evans, Joe stole home.
Evans and Turner singled. Evans
raced for third on Turner'S hit, and
when Baker let Wards throw get past
him Evans scored, and Turner took
second. OiNeill was purposely passed

GERMANY HAS
NO REGARD
FOR SPAIN
Huns Thank Nation for Neu-
trail Policy by Sinking
Vessels.

Madrid, Aug. 16.--1n a note ad-
dressed by Spain to Germany re-
garding the -torpedoing of Spanish
vessels, announcement of the dis
patch of which was made by Foreign
Minister Dato on August 8, the
Spanish government points to Ger-
many's poor return for services Spain
has performed in pursuance of her
neutral policy by which Germany has
benefited according to the news
paper FL Sol.
Germany has received numerous
evidences of Spanish regard, the
note says in substance as summar-
lied by this newspaper, such as in
the case of the refugees from the
Kamerun. whom Spain cared for, and
it is pointed out that in addition
Spain has undertaken the represen-
tation Of German interests in various
belligerent countries.
Nevertheless the note continues in
return for these services and for
benefits ,accruing to Germany m con-
sequence of Spanish neutrality. Ger
many has persisted constantly in
causing injury to Spanish interests.
