Kilbane Knocks Out
Burns i'm the Fifth
Before $4,000 Fans

Johnny Kilbane. of Cleveland,
knocked out frankie Burns. Of Jersey
City, in the fifth round Of their
scheduled eght-round fight at the
Jersey City baseball Park last
night. The largest crowd that ever
saw fight in Jersey jammcd its way
into the inclosure to see the match
1t was estimated that more than 35 1000
were on hand when the gong rang.
Burns never had chance: Kilbane
displayed much of his old-tme form
and proved altogether too fast for the
Jersey fighter. Johnny jabbcd his op-
poncnt at will almost from the start,
and followed through with swift cross
blows that had Burns hanging on con-
tinually after the first round.
In the fourth Kilbane rushed his at
tack so fast and furiously that he had
Burns hanging on to the ropes and
ready to cave. The bell rang Just in
time to save him from being knocked
out in that round.
The fifth hadn't gone more than
forty seconds when Kilbane led with
his left and crossed Immediately with
a lightning-like right that landed flush
on the jaw. Burns crumbled and
Johnny Ertlc, the referee, began his
count. When ht had counted 1.-TWO"
Burns attempted to arise, but fell back
to the floor Immediately and was
counted out.

New Commission
Chairman TO Be
Selected To-day

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-A successor to
Garry Hermann, as chairman of the
National Baseball Commission will be
named here tomorrow at a meeting
of the joint committee of the American
and National leagues appointed for
that purpose last January Frank
Navin. president of the Detroit club,
will not attend. according to President
Jacob Rupert. of the New York Ameri-
nouncement Of the meeting. Navin has
resigned from the committee. Rupert
said, and the Yankee owner will be the
sole representative of the American
League
The National League committeemen
-PresidentWilliam Veeck. of the Chi
cago Cubs. and President William F.
Baker, of the Philadelphia club will
attend the gathering. The committees
will convene at l o'clock at the Black
stone Hotel.
While Rupert refused to comment
on the identity of the man who will
be selected it was rumored that Judge
Kenesaw Mountain Lands. of the Fed
erai Court. would be rendered the
craftsmanship.
One hltch that may develop and
spoil the plans for naming a new
chairman is that Ban Johnson may ap-
point an alternate for Navin from
among the pro-J Johnson American
League magnates. If such a man
is made and the new committee
man so desires, he can checkmate Rup-
pert and thus nullify the American
League vote on the question. This
would make the matter of naming a
new chairman a strictly National
League affair

Rheumatic KEEPS
Our Yanks Idle:
Two Games To-day
By w. O. Mcclellan

Owing TO the heavy downpour the
early part of the season Yesterdays
game at the Polo Grounds between the
White Sox and the Yankees was
called off. There will be double
header there to-day, probably involv-
ing Mays and Cicotte. While games
have been played at the Polo Grounds
with much more moisture on the grass
than there was yesterday the damp
ness was found to have caused a tinge
OF rheumatism in the ticket takers
wrist and the seats in the box Office
were too damp for comfort. Hence the
postponement.
Kid William Gleason, the manager
Of the White Sox is bubbling with
optimism over the outcome of the
Worlds Series. The Kid does not
think that series will be anything like
q cinch for the Sox but he is sure
that the Old Roman will be able to
pin a championship to his toga when
it is over.
OF course Cicotte will pitch the
first game. The field marshal of the
Comskey forces has already admitted
be followed by Williams and Kerr and
then be ready to come back again. The
shine ball artist, who was not in the
best of health some time back, is now
reported to be fit and ready.
In the meantime bulletins continued
to come into the Yankee offices from
the Chicago front, where Colonel Til
linghast LHommedieu Huston has
marshalled couple Of armies under
Colonel Jacob Rupert and Corporal
Harry Fraze to unite with Comisk1y.
the Old Roman. AT the approach Of
the Yankee forces Ban johnson re-
treated to Cincinnati with considerable
precipitation, leaving traces of broken
glass and other indications of confu-
sion. Jim Dunn at Cleveland threw
out barbed wire entanglements and dug
in.
Late last night message was re-
ceived in code from the Yankee forces.
1t read: Rush Scotch Express. Two
and three quarters per cent aw-
full This message could not be de-
coded last night but Business Mana
ger Harry Sparrow is inclined to
believe that lit means that decisive
engagement is being fought with the
johnson forces somewhere near the
stockyards.
The Mays injunction case was SUBJ
mitted on brief and affidavits in Jus
tice Robert Wagner's court Yesterday
on motion to have the injunction made
permanent. The case was taken unuer
advisement and a decision is expected d

Assured of Flag
In Older League

(INClNNATI clinched the Ma

yesterday by defeating the Giants.
Pat Moran's Reds may now lose alp
their remaining games and still win
the flag, for their standing would
be:
90 games won, 4s lost; .s57 p. c.
The best the Giants could do by
winning every game would be:
81 games won. 40 lost; $50 p. G.
In the American League the Chi

Defeat in 9TH
First Baseman Muffs Rari-

the Decisive Tally, 4 to 3

CINCINNATI. Sept. 16.-By beating
the New York Giants to-day before a
crowd of $4,000 people the Cincinnati
club cinched the pennant in the Ma
tional League, the first which it has
ever won in that organization. The
Reds have seven more games to play.
and even if they should lose all Of
them while the Giants Won all of the
eleven games remaining on their sched
ule the local club would finish one
game ahead.
The score to day was to 8 Dutch
Ruether pitched the full game for the
Reds and was hit hard, being frequent
ly saved by sensational support. Fred
Toney pitched we'll for New York after
the first inning. but his support was
faulty He was taken out in the
seventh. and Arthur Nehf finished the
game without allowing a hit.
New York scored two runs in the
frst inning on a pass to Burns and
singles by Kauff and Statz. In the last
half of the same round the Reds scored
three runs on Fletcher's wild throw on
Rath's grounder and hits by Roush,
Kopf and Neale.
Giants Tie in Fourth
The Giants tied it in the fourth on
successive hits by Burns, Kauff and
Frisch. A fine throw to the plate by
Roush prevented Kauff from counting
when he tried to come home from sec
ond OF Frisch's hit to centre. Ruether
was fairly effective during the last half
Of the game.
The Reds won in the seventh, which
Schneider opened with q double over
first base. Rarden bunted fly toward
first base, which Kelly muffed and then
threw to third in an attempt to get
Schroeder, but was too late. Toney was
then relieved by Nehf, and Schreiber
scored the winning run on Ruether's s
grounder to Doyle, on which Rariden
was forced at second.
The batting Of Kauff and Statz for
New York and the fast fielding of the
entire Cincinnati team were the
features.
The score:
