NEW GIANT PLAYERS.
C1ymcr, TOney, kirke and Compton at
Polo Grounds.

Fred Toney, pitcher, late of Gin
cinnati, appeared in & uniform at the
Polo Grounds yesterday but it was
said that he was not yet available for
use by the New York club. It was
given out that Toney had not yet
signed his contract. Why this should
be ecessary-unless the club has
yielded to a demand for more money
cannot be seen. Jay Kirke, first
baseman, and Pete Compton, out
fielder, acquired from Louisville, also
were on hand. SO was Derby Day Bill
Clymer, who managed Louisville I'M
til the recent disbanding of the Am
erican Association.
Clymer sat in q box and admitted
that he had been engaged by the New
York club. Just what his duties were
he would not say-perhaps he was
not quite clear on that score himself.
McGraW said that he had not been
aware of Clymer having been signed
until he saw it in Sundays papers.
He, too, did not know what use could
be made of Bill who no longer may
be classed as an active.
An idea prevails that Harry Hemp
stead acquired Clymer as an assist
ant manager and an anchor to the
windward. Report has it that Nc
Graw is thinking of going to France
for the Y M. G. A. and the K. of c.
next year if the war still is with us.
! To provide for that contingency the
club owners appear to have acquired
Clymer, who is q manager Of known
ability and aggressive qualities.
To make room under the twenty
two men limit for KirlIe and Compton
| McGraw yesterday released Waite
| Hoyt. the young pitcher to Newark,

battle. There is no denying that VII
lard is the only heavyweight in the
world who can extend the Salt Lake
boy Unless the champion can be in
duced to come out of his shell and
agree to a meeting with Dempsey,
Dempsey would be without suitabl
opponents.
Evidence is not lacking that efforts
will be made to induce Willard to
agree to a meeting with the new Rich
mond of pugilism on Labor day. The
chief reason for this move is that the
Hudson County Sportsmen's club lost
considerable money in staging the
Dempsey-Fulton contest, and would
probably be able to recoup if the man
agement could put on a Willard
Dempsey bout next September. The
chief obstacle to such a contest will
be the cupidity of the title holder, who
would demand an exorbitant sum for
his services.
If the champion were shown that a
refusal to fight Dempsey would gener-
ally be construed as an evidence OF
fear on the part OF the title hOlder ne
might possibly be induced to enter the
ring. At the same time if Willard re-
fuses to fight and also declines to alb
dictate as heavyweight king there is no
means of taking his title away from
him. and he could go on farming in
definitely while hanging onto the
heavyweight crown.
This unsatisfacto condition is due
| to the fact that the late John L. Sulli-
| van on becoming champion of Ameri-
| ca, ignored the costom of London
| rules days, under which a champion
was compelled to defend his title every
! six months or forfeit to q bona f1de
! challenger While there was no arbi-
| trary rule on the subject, yet the bare
! knuckle fighters all observed the UNI
written law, and fought or forfeited.
But when John L. became cham
pion he changed all that. In substance
| he told challengers that he would fight
! when and where he pleased, would not
| forfeit any title to anybody, and asked
what they were going to do about it.

FULTON RECEIPTS.
Less Than $4,000, Including Public
Taken in at Big Bout.

Jack Curley and his associates in the
Fulton Dempsey venture lost about
$1,000. The boxers were guaranteed
$4,000 each--and they got no more.
than that sum. The receipts, as given
out yesterday by Lester Burdick, sec
rotary Of the New Jersey boxing COM
mission, were SIT, 654.50, out of which
the state collected 10 per cent. The
government profted to a similar ex-
tent by the war tax.
The number of tickets sold at the
various prices were as follows: At So,
1,130; at SO, 1,779; at So, 1,139; at
$3.50 1888; at $40, 299. IT Will be
seen that the men who had been
counted on by CurIey to make the fight
a financial success through their Dur-
chasing the higher priced seats did not
find the bout attractive enough to lure
them from their seashOre and noun
tain retreats of a Saturday afternoon
CurIey is not the only disappointed
individual. Five othes were in the
syndicate which ran the show. and lei
it be said there is wailing and
crashing of teeth in JERSEY. They
wish now that the New York draf
board had sent Fulton to Helgolan6
or some other place. when he couIc
not have reached the Harrison hal
park in q month Of Sundays.

for what he had, but after being
locked up he was willing to pay 81 to
get out.

WORLDS SERIES LIKELY
Ban johnson Favors Closing August
20. With Worlds Series Games
September I.

September i.
Chicago July 30.-ClOsing the
major league schedules about August
90 and staging the worlds series i'm
1nediately thereafter, is the plan now
favored by President Ban Johnson of
the American league to comply with
Secretary Bakers work or fight order.
President johnson yesterday sent a
bulletin to the American league club
owners, asking their approval of the
plan, which it is understood also is
under consideration by the National
league.
Closing the season August 20 would
leave eleven days in which to prepare
for and play the worlds series and
still obey Secretary Bakers order to
, disband September /. There has been
talk of continuing to September l or
even the day following, which is
Labor Day, legal holiday, but the
American league executive is strongly
oppOsed to this. He is in favor of the
worlds series but believes it should be
staged within the time limit placed by
the secretary of war for the suspen-
sion of the sport.
If the August closing is agreed
upon. the western clubs of the Ameri-
can league will not start the eastern
invasion scheduled for August IA, and
the eastern clubs of the National
league will not start west. The days
remaining before the official shut
down September 1 probably will be
employed in playing exhibitions and
games with clubs in the sections.

BRITTON BEATS RYAN
Local Boy Has No Difficulty With
Sailor Lad in Jersey Arena-Pre-
Iiminaries Fast.

Willie Ryan of New Brunswick, N.
j., also of the United States navy,
desiring to ascertain his exact status
in the weller division, entered the
ring of the Armory A. A, Jersey City,
last night with Jack Britton Of this
city, former champion of the class
Ten minutes after the bout started
Ryan was being assisted to his cor
ner by the referee, and doubtless was
convinced he never would become the
champion of the Welters.
Ryan was a willing and combative
youth, but before the crafty, skilful
Britton he was like a mouse in thea
claws of a cat.
Ryan rushed and swung with both9
hands vigorously, but for the mostI
part hit only the empty air. Beforea
the Jerseyman could regain his equil- "
ibrium each time Britton's glovedj
fists would play a tattoo on the face
and body of the surprised New@
Brunswicker. -
After feeling his man out for a
couple of rounds Britton cut loose1
in the third and with series of
heavy thumps to the jaw and Ryans
groggy. h
Ryan was fresh when he emergedS
for the fourth round and he tore ing
at Britton with great fury. Britton
the master boxer, countered his manS
hard on the jaw and soon had hine
Keeling about the ring. 1t was evil
dent the Jerseyite had no chance andJ
the referee stopped the encounter
and sent Ryan to his corner.
The bout between Joe Mooney OF
the West Side and Johnny Drummiej
of Jersey City was a slashing cons
test from the first gong to the last u
Drummie had the better of the first
five rounds and earned the decisions
on points, but Mooney came like a
tornado in the last three rounds AND
had Drummie in distress at the Gloss
of the eighth.
The bout between Jack Sharkey on
the West Side and Harvey Crosby on
Bayonnc was brought to a suddeIS
stop in the first round when Crosby
unintentionlly delivered a low blow
that completely disabled SharkeyM
The West Slider had to be carried IN
his dressing room. AS Crosby is aIM
eminently fair boxer he was absolveW
of all intent to injure his opponent.
