HISS JOCKEY WHO LOST RAGE
 AT SARATOGA

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug. B. and at his worst at the track here yesterday. He mixed up good riding and bad with a little Wild West show on the side in a way to earn first the approval of the crowd in words of high approval and enthusiastic cheers and then the condemnation expressed in bitter words and some hisses.
 The boy had two mounts but with these two he practically dominated the afternoon. In any case he was most talked of here last evening, some shouting his praises, others not mine ing their words in expressing con- tempt
 Then, too, little Robinson, a brother of Frank Robinson, the clever jockey who was killed in a fall at the Bowie track last spring, also was much on the tongue. His handling of War Rocket in the first race was not justi- fled by the ability he has shown in with indifference, some used much harsher words.
 The Porter earned the purse in the Plattsburg Handicap because of I.of- tus. Beaming Beauty was beaten in the last race because of I.oftus. On the former he displayed all the skill which had made him famous and which has earned him the reputation of being the best rider in the country On the latter any stable boy who gal iopS horses in the morning would have shown better judgment.

 bust youngsters are priming and
 pruneing themselves for the final
 dash today. Bobby Jones' of Atlanta

 Pittsburgh in this deciding 36 holes
 test. This pair survived the semi
 final round yesterday, defeating w.

Neither match produced anything so brilliant as has been shown on 1 several occasions earlier in the tour nament. Plainly the strain of the long grind was beginning to tell or the four contestants. Time and agair each of the four playing the odd left a gap wide open for his opponent to brush past him to a fine advantage
 But as a rule the advantage was passed up, snd the two fought on to
 a staggering finish in a fashion ot mediocre golf.
 First to get away in the morning the Jones-Fownes contest drew the better part of the gallery. The crowd was rewarded by seeing | closely fought battle from first tc | last. But there was but little bril-. | liant play.

BrittOn Beats O'DOwd In
 Lively Battle In Newark
Majority of Writers At Ringside Give Decision to Welterweight Champion Over Middle
 weight Title Holder

Newark. N. J., Aug. 23-Jack Brit ton, welterweight champion of the world, outboxed and outfought Mike O'Dowd, worlds middleweight title holder, in their eight round bout in the First Regiment Armory here last night. The speed, skill and ring generalship of the welterweight prov ed too much for O'Dowd, in spite of the advantage he held in the weights. O'Dowd tipped the beam at 155 pounds while Britton scaled at 146.
 The crowd that damned the big Jersey Armory saw Britton give a mastcrly exhibition of the manly art. Fast with both feet and hands, Jack outtought Mike in all except the third and the seventh rounds. Both at long range and in the inighting the middleweight found the welterweight too much for him Even when Brit ton threw boxing to the winds and stood toe to toe with O'Dowd and swapped waIlops. Jack seldom came out second best.
 After being convincingly outpointed in the first two rounds O'Dowd ral- lied in the third. and by fierce slug ging managed to gain the round. Brit ton turned the tidS in the fourth and held tho lead till the seventh. when a belated rally by O'Dowd gained the round and gave his supporters some announcement.
 Britton was only restir ! up. for he came back with some whirlwind mill ing in the final frame, and outboxed and outsiugged the middleweight Three times in the nnal round Britton

Can Ruth Break All
 Records for Circuit
 SnasheS This Year?

Can big Babe" Ruth, the mighty mauler of the Boston Red Sox, break the Iong-standing major league re- cord of home runs this seaGon? Ruth has the American League record with 16 homers, but there is the record of 25 circuit waIiops made by Buck Freeman 20 years ago with the Washington club. then in the Ma tional League. Cactus Cravath ham mered out 24 in 1915.
 The season is a little beyond the halfway mark and the Babe" is hitting them hard. It looks like a cinch that he will break all records. as there is little doubt that the husky red hosed athlete of Boston is the heaviest hitter that ever swung a bat.
 He has made one or more home runs in every park in the American League circuit. and has been scoring them off all kinds of pitching-high ones. low ones, inside and outside no difference to Ruth As some one said the other day. the safest thing for the League pitchers would be for them to present him with seasons pass to first base.

Latest Doings In Sportland s EEzzs
Tender Episode of Throwing Water
 Cause of Comment

New York, Aug. 23-A stricter ad- herence to the recognized rules of boxing in Philadelphia is likely to follow as a result of the recent Will lie Jackson-Lew Tender siX-round bout Followers of the sport in Quakertown are up in arms over the action of Tenders manager, who, when the Philadelphia boxing idol was knocked down in the first round on two occasions, restored the fallen ightweight's fleeing senses by drenching Tender with water while the referee was in the act of count ing the prostrate boxer out. This action. 1t is charged, deprived Jack son of a knockout victory
 The water-throwing episode inter- fered with the count being admins tered by Referee Frank CPop) O'Brien, who interrupted his task long enough to rush to the side of the ring and caution Tenders man ager. According to the reports four seconds were lost through this official action. Referee O'Brien had reached four in his count when he interrupted himself to warn Tender manager. Returning to the task O'Brien is reported to have resumed the count at five, after an interval of four seconds, and continuing to nine whereupon Tender regained his feet. It is argued by those who saw the contest that O'Brien should have continued his count and ignored the water-throwing of Tenders manager

calculate just what the object of the beaten boxers attention was. They saw a French newspaperman who was covering the fight for a Paris news paper, take sip from a glass of wine. But why should a first class boxer be more concerned in such a thing than in avoiding and delivering blows Mccoy also saw the French journalist sip the spirits and what is more he saw him place the glass-still about half fuIl-on the edge of the ring. The Kid was far across the ring from the glass at the time.
 Immediately, Mccoy, weak as he was, took the aggressive and forced Curran to the ropes near the Frenchman. Curran landed two to one. Mccoy, exhausted. finally went down from one of the sailors swings which missed him by a yard.
 On his stomach the Kid crawled to the edge of the ring and snatching the "hooker'' of spirits drained it to the bottom. When he arose he went in to a clinch-obviously to give the liquor time in which to operate. From the next round on-the tenth-Mc- Coy, a rejuvenated boxer, lit into Cur ran with all the old time dash and administered a drubbing the like of which London hadn't witnessed for many a day. Curran was thoroughly whipped and helpless at the finish of the twentieth. The referee gave the verdict to Mccoy who smiled with ap- preciation through his own battered features.
 Then the Kid. who had not forgot ten the source of his renewed strength-and its owner-walked over to the French journalist who was still laughing good naturedly over Me Coys exhibition of shrewdness.
 "Wait for me at the bar, will you ? The drink is on me this time,'' said the Kid to the Frog"
 It is a cinch that that was the best wine Kid Mccoy ever quafted for he has always claimed that it was the best fight he ever fought.

Say Cincinnati Club Has
 Tempered With Players
Giants and Brooklyn Club Make Charges That Reds Were After Douglas, Wheat
 and Myers Recently.

Charges of tampering with players are being hurled about in the Ma tional League and the Cincinnati club is the target for the abuse The Giants claim the Reds are respon- sible for the fall of ShuffIin' Phil Douglas, who deserted d 1fcGraw's club the other day.
 It is claimed that two men, friends of the Cincinnati players, were seen taking Douglas out for a joy ride on two occasions just before he fell from the water wagon.
 Brooklyn is also out against Cin- cfnnati for alleged unfair tactics. Ii is claimed that Daubert and Groh of the Reds tried to induce Fly Myers and Zach Wheat to demand that they be sold or traded to Cincinnati. Presi- dent Heydler of the National League recently held a secret hearing on these charges, but Owner Ebbets of the Brooklyn club, did not ap- pear.
 Daubert and Groh admitted they had talked to the Brooklyn players but claimed they were told by Wheat and Myers that they had-been per mitted to arrange trades for them selves, subject to the approval of the Brooklyn club. This permission was afterward withdrawn but the Cincin- nati club asked for terms on Wheat and Myers Owner Ebbets of Brook lyn offered to trade either for Out fielder Ed Rouseh of the Reds. This was turned. down Cincinnau then offered a large sum for Myers but this. too, was rejected

 asked to be matched with Petty Of
 ficer Curran an English heavyweight who was the reign1ng sensation of the
 day in England then. The promoter
 looked. doubtfully over the Mccoy
 girth and facial wrinkles but finally
 assented and the go was arranged.
 Mccoy did practically no training.
 In the first place he was scarcely able
 to and in the second he didn't think
 it mattered much. The purse. not
 added fame in the ring, was the only
 thing that interested him. Neverthe-
 less he expected to win just as he
 had always counted victory a sure
 thing in his younger days. In his
 corner the Kid wore complacent
 smile and confded to Willie Lewis at
 the ringside that he would surely beat up Curran "just for the sake of old times" as he put it. Here's luck to you Kid!"-wi1lie remarked not with out great uncertainty as to its prophecy of such for the great ring ster of other days. The betting around the ringside was 20-1 on the English sailor.
 The gong changed. Mccoy arose  1 languorously from his chair. He was met with a headlong rush and a fusilade of blows from Curran. Nc | Coy crashed to the canvas. He arose and was felled again-seven times within the first three rounds. In the | fourth round Curran landed a hay maker full flush on the Kids mouth and teeth flew in every direction. But Mccoy hung on and stalled out the
 round. His second asked if he want ed the towel thrown in. Not on your life!'' gurgled Mccoy through s4he reservoir of blood in his mouth. The Kid was still in distress throughout the fifth and sixth and the case appeared hopeless. When

 Cartoonist.)
 Kid Mccoy, VHose lack of pound age was the only thing that barred his way to the worlds heavyweight championship was one of the greatest fighters the ring has ever known. Weighing about 16O pounds the Hoosier Kid, aided by nimble wits land remarkable boxing skill faced the greatest of his period and always ac- quilted himself creditably. His "corkscrew punch" was a flattener for whoever was unfortunate enough to provide a mandible impact for it. The Kid unfailingly wore a superior sheer which became famous and de- lighted spectators as it awed his oppo- nents. He engaged in some wonder ful fights amongst them being his vic tories over Tommy West, Tommy Ryan, George LaBlanche, Dan Cree don, Gus Ruhlin, Joe Choyiniski, Peter Maher and scores of others. In all of them he exhibited rare skill a merciless cruelty and uncommon | quick -wittedness. All of his battles were tinctured with a dash of each of these ingredients which made him
 one of the most interesting fighters of
 his generation.
 It would be hard to cite any one | particular battle of McCoy's and
 stamp it as his masterpiece of skill and cunning. He turned out so many | of them. But those who know the Kids record and happened to be at the ringside of a London ring on August 2, 1914 will tell you that Me l Gov St god his -StrnIxa there | that night.

rocked o'Dowd with savage hooks to the head.
 Through an accident to the lighting apparatus and other troubles the start of the big bout was delayed, but the throng of 5000 fight fans that packed the big armory were well paid for the delay. The bout was a pippin from the first to the final bell, and left no doubt of the veteran Britton being one of the greatest boxers that ever drew on a glove
 Britton's wonderful left hand com pletely baff1ed O'Dowd. Jack shot his leads in with the speed of a strik- ing rattler and the accuracy of a sharpshooter's bullet O'Dowd could and willy port jaw. But Britton showed himself to be a two handed fighter and backed up his fast lefts smashes to head and body. His range repeatedly rattled Mikes mo- lars.
 Britton's de-ensive skill was beau tiful to watch. Jack slipped Mikes rushes. sidestepped, block or ducked hss leads at will. He countered su- perbly and repeatedly beat Mike to the punch. Had Britton been con- tent to box O'Dowd the bout would have been an exhibition between a master and a pupil But Jack could not resist the inclination to mix it with the heavier man At times he stood toe to toe with O'Dowd- Even at the rough and ready style of -nin-

MAYS CASE IS CONTINUED AND
 MAY BE FIXED

New York, Aug 23-"Failure of MT. Johnson's attorneys to submit answering afidavits on Tuesday of this week as promised, and submit ting same in voluminous form at o'clock Thursday afternoon has made it necessary again to postpone until Friday, Aug. 29, the hearing to make permanent the injunction secured by the Yankees in the Mays case. The examination of MT. Johnson before the referee has been postponed for the third time until Thursday, Aug. 2S."
 The foregoing official annource- ment, given out at the headquarters of the New York American League Baseball Club in this city yesterday, is more or less self-eXplanatory. The examination of Ban B. Johnson, president of the American League, had been set to be held before | George J. Gillispie of 20 Vesey street, who had been appointed referee yes- | terday morning and was to be follow l ed by the hearing to make permanent the injunction secured by the club in 1 the Carl Mays case before Justice 1 Peter B. Hendrick in Part l. of the | Sp6Cldl lelll bA lllt oupi Glllt Nplli l. | Because of the late hour at which | MT JohnSons attorneys submitted | their answering affidavits, however, | Ncssrs. Fitch and Grant of s2 Mas | sau street, attorneys for the Yankees,
 found it necessary to request a post | ponement of both cases until later l in the month.
 i It was explained at the clubs of
 fees that the Yankees lawyers found i it impossible to examine thoroughly
 the answering afhdavits of Mir. John- son in time to be prepared to proceed | with the examination of the league l president and the subsequent hear
 ing on the injunction yesterday.
 With the announcemet of the post iponement the belief spread among
 baseball men that the action siEnified
 a determined effort to settle amicably
 the existing differences without the
 necessity of further legal action.
 There has always been a tendency on
 the part of professional baseball op-
 orators to remain out of the courts
 as much as possible, and this we'll
 known fact formed a foundation for
 the belief that the warning factions
 might be trying to get together with out again taking the matter besore ILe COuI |"
 The question was put squarely UT to Col. T. l.. Huston, half owner o1 the Yankees, yesterday. He replied Tt is my belief that no such effor is being made. As far as I can say this is to be a finish ight-a req
 showdown. As is we'll known, the different club owners have a grea' , deal of money invested in baseball and we are anxious definitely to set
 tie for all time how much power 1! vested in the president of the league ? to run our business for us.
 "We will be prepared to proceed ! with the case next Thursday ana Friday, and I am of the opinion tha' . the showdown will be made at tha
 time. We are determined to see the thing through, and since MT. John
 son has filed his answering affidavit'
 it seems to me to indicate that he i'
 equally determined to fight it out. O. course, until the hearing the tenn porary injunction will continue ir force, and we will be able to use Mays in his regular turn in the box

ing O'Dowd found Britton a tough custome--
 While Britton clearly showed his boxing mastery of O'Dowd, Mike fought a game ourageous battle and never backed up under the sharp at- tacks of the welterweight- Mike forced the fighting, but Britton met hirn coming and cut him to ribbons on the retreat Head down like a cayuse bucking a blizzard O'Dowd steadily pushed in under the rain of lefts and rights Jack bombarded him with.
 Britton frequently drove Mike back on his heels. but try as he might he couldn't knock Mike off his pins. Hard as Jack pounded him Mike only shook his head and bored in for more.
 Britton gave O'Dowd a real taste of the dynamite he packs in his punches in the final round. In a desperate attempt to turn the tide O'Dowd threw all defensive tactics aside and plunged in Nike a madman-
