O'KEEFE AND GUS LEWIS
TO BATTLE AT CAMBRIA

AFTER long delay, marked by plenty
Aof verbal barrages, the rival mana
gers finally came to terms and consented
long ago. to engage Gus Lewis in a ring
combat This bout has been on and off
and on again for the last three months,
but 1t remained for Managers Johnny
Burns and Jack Weinstein to get to-
gether last Wednesday night and clinch
the match. The boys will come together
at the Cambria A. C. next Friday night,
July 12
Lewis and o'Keefe met before-only
once. On that occasion Gus was a prom
ising bantam, and made good against all
the young talent sent against him. Then
he was assigned the task of disposing OF
the veteran O'Keefe out at the Lincoln
A. c.. which was in operation in West
Philadelphia. Gus failed, taking the
count, which was the only knockout de-
feat ever registered against him!
OKeefe has staged big comeback since,
while Lewis looks like one OF the best
boys of his weight now in action.
O'Keefe was willing to let bygones be
forgotten. He had won decisiyely in that
only meeting and was contented. Then
came forth Lewis few months ago with
a. claim for-the featherweight crown.
Gus advanced many good reasons why
he should be called the king of his
weight or course there were many who
challenged his right to the title in addi-
tion to Kilbane, and the most persisten mt
one was fighting Eddie.
At the Cambria tonight Joe Tuber,
! Herman Hindin's champion. will go to
the front opposed to Young Merino, of
New York. in the wind-up. Merino has
been making his headquarters In this

MAIN LINE LEAGUE FIRST
HALF PENNANT ENDS IN A
TIE WITH DUN AND UNION
These Teams Will Play Deciding Game Tomorrow After
noon-Dobson Wins Three Contests and Cap
lures an l8-Inning Affair

TNHE present baseball season has been
Il most successful one among the
minor league and independent baseball
teams in the city and vicinity with the
usual long list of weekend games. but
Independence Day was especially note
worthy. The weatherman continued his
fine work, and provided a day that could
not be eXcelled from a playing stand
point The league teams. by the way,
have been particularly fortunate in this
respect, and have not been compelled to
postpone Saturday contest since the
opening of the season on May 8. Bad
weather was encountered on Decoration
Day. and some league teams played and
others called them off on account of wet
grounds. This slight break has been the
only one in the entire seasons layout so
far.
The feature of Yesterdays league
schedule was the doings on the Main
Line, and as a result Lansdowne and
r. G. Dun Co are tied for first half
honors. and will play the deciding game
tomorrow afternoon. The chief reason
for deadlock was the defeat of Lans-
downe by the Dobson club in the morn
ing at East Falls, when Bob Calhoun's s
boys won by to |. Dobson also an
nexed a pair Of battles in the afternoon.
They engaged in an eighteen-inning set
to with Warwick in the first game and
won by 10. Charley Clock was in fine
form and allowed Warwick only four
hits.
Dun G. Co. defeated Wayne in two
games. The initial battle lasted eleven
