Looking for the real reason for the
eagerness of the Giants In calling off
Yesterdays game We find McGraw's
pitching shortage. Hugo Bezdek, the
Pirate manager. had planned to throw
his best two pitchers against the Giants
in the last two games. Babe Adams
the star OF the stan. was scheduled TO
pitch yesterday, while 1t was Bezdek's
intention to send Cooper back after
the last game
Barnes was supposed to pitch ycster-
day. He now gets an additional dav of
rest, while Toney can be saved to pitch
the first game against the Cubs to-mor-
row. Inside stuff!
Charley Ebbets Is just as deserving OF
censure for calling Off the scheduled
game between the Dodgers and Cardi-
nails in Flatbush as is the Giant man
agement. Ebbets has long been accused
of making double headers on slight pre-
texts and yesterday he had chance
to show his Independence by playing his
game even though the Giants saw At to
call off their contest in Manhattan. Men
who went to Ebbets Field yesterday at
game time, not dreaming there would
be no game. found the sun shining and
the gates locked. II was a good after
noon for the fans!
II wouldn't do any harm II John Heyd-
Ter president OF the National League.

MEEHAN INSISTENT
ON DEMPSEY MATCH
Declares Victory in San Franz
cisco Entities Him to Bout
With New Champion.
ny CHARLES r. MATHIsoN.

When Billy Gibson. manager of Willie
Meehan was yesterday informed that
the Army, Navy and Civilian Board OF
Boxing Control favored a match between
Dempsey and the Californian, he quite
naturally became enthusiastic.
1T Is a simple matter of justice that
Meehan should have the frst contest
with the new champion, because willis
the bouts on the coast are limited 20
four rounds, Meehan was there at the
close with Dempsey and got the decision
OF the referee.
while tlpc record books contain ref
erence only TO three bouts between
Dempsey and Meehan. I am informed
that the men have met in six four
round encounters. Three took place in
Oakland and three In San Francisco.
or the half dozen meetings Meehan
three times got the decision of the ref
cree, two were called draws and Dsnp-
sey earned the referees decision In the
other.
Mind you" said Gibson, neither
Meehan nor myself make any claim that
he will beat Dempsey, but Meehan L.,
the only man In America who holds \
referees decision over the champion. and
II Dempsey thinks Meehan will be easy
for him he has the chance to prove II.
You will remember that Willard
failed to wipe out the defeats he suf-
and Tom Mcmahon, and he received a
lot OF criticism on that account Demp-
sey should at least make the effort to
even matters with Meehan or give my
man the opportunity to do even better
than he did on the coast II he refuses
II will be taken as An indication OF fear"
Britton and Lewis Resume Fight.
Jack Britton. present holder ot the
worlds wclter championship and Kid
Lewis, former title holder, are TO have
another tilt for the honors. Dan Nor
gan, representing Britton, and Charley
Harvey, manager of Lewis, yesterday
held conference with John jennings,
manager of the Armory A. A.. Jersey
city. and reached an agreement whereby
the boxers will meet in the Jersey arena
on the night of July rs.
Morgan demanded that Harvey guaran-
tee the champion $500. and these terms
we're acceded to, Harvey taking So per
cent. OF the receipts and giving Morgan
what lie asked. Lewis won the title
from Britton on a referees decision at
the end of a twenty round bout Brit
ton recovered his title by stopping Lewis
in the ninth round. The loser claimed
he was in poor condition at the time of
| the contest.

FANS ARE PEEVED
OYER CLOSED GATES
Use vitriolic Words When
Local Games Are Called Off
on Flimsy Pretext.
ny FREDERICK G. LIEB.

Every now and then when the Giants
are on the road, and a game Ia called
off by the local management because
OF a passing cloud or other slight pre-
text, scribes with the team usually let
out an awful wall of woe. They accuse
the home management OF ducklng their
proper obligations and of poor sports
manship But after what happened on
the Polo Grounds yesterday they
should forever hold their peace.
A person who took a close census Of
rain drops yesterday lround that as
many as sixteen fell between the noon
hour and l o'clock. That was more
than two hours before the Giants and
mat in the fourth game of the series.
Yet these desultory drops Gone couldn't
dignity them as q shower) caused the
postponement of scheduled contest
on the Polo Grounds and caused sew
eral thousand persons TO make futile
trip TO Harlem.
"why arn't they playing" asked one
irate fan on the 81" platform. There
has been no rain! e. The sun then was
out in all its glory.
Perhaps wet grounds" we suggested.
Fans Are RiIed.
He pointed scornfully TO the dry
streets AS dry as finder" ne con-
tinued. IF it did rain. 1t was not
enough to settle the dust. It's an out
rage. that's what ! call II. I'm buS-
ness man. and took off half day to
enjoy a good ball game and they pull
something like this on me. 1t isn't
treating the public fairly"
I'm with you, sport" said another
fan. who looked as though he may have
set aside his plumbers kit to root for
the Giants. Tin cured. After this I'm
a Cincinnati rooter."
That was just sample of some OF
the conversation overheard on the T.
platform and the l55th street viaduct.
Some citizens used much more strenu-
jectires as Fred Mollwitz. the lean Pr
rate first baseman, used IN addressing
Rigler last Monday.
without question il was the slimmest
pretext for calling off game in New
York IN many a day. The only similar
occasion that occurs TO the writer hap
pened several years ago, when on a
cloudy morning in April Harry Sparrow.
the Yankee business manager, called off
game with the Washington club. The
sun came out shortly afterward, and 1t
turned out to be n beautiful day Spar
row frankly admitted he was wrong
and had made poor guess Never

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1885 Newton originated the
vacuum process for condensing milk
with cane sugar to a Semi-iiquid form.
In 1888 Horlick at Racine, Wis,
discovered how to reduce milk to
a dry pozrder form with extract of
matted grains, 1ciihout cane sugar.

Matted Milk. Name since copied

the fact that it keeps in any climate

watch Mr.. Sundays expression as

Last evening a young man. blind.

compassion and pity that made the
onlookers' eyes swim. A young
