Ted Lewis in
Slow Contest
Welter Champion Has Only
Slight Advantage in g.
Round Bout i'm Jersey

Jack Brtton and Ted (Kid) Lewis
met in the ring for the twentieth time
last night at the Armory A. A. in
Jersey City last night and Britton
earned the decision. Ted (Kid) did not
come even close to winning back the
welterweight title which he lost 10
Brltton in their last previous meeting.
The bout was a rather tame affair,
Britton doing most of the leading with
fast left jab and putting over
snappy right cross now and then. He
had Lewis backing up for the greater
part of the fight. The only round
that seemed to bring about anything
like action was the eighth and last.
For a second or two the men stood
in the centre of the ring and slugged.
The only chance that Lewis had 10
regain his title was to put over a
knockout punch. The Ted Kid did not
seem to have the steam or vitality for
this. He missed Britton frequently
and when he did land the punches
failed to even annoy the champion.
Lewis and Brltton have met so often
that each knows the others every
move. AS a sparrng match. pure and
simple. i was mildly amusing. but a s
fight it was rather depressing.
Neither man seemed to even have his
hair mussed.
The arena was packed to capacity and
many of the spectators requested
little action, but the act was staged as
per the usual schedule of the sterling
act of Britton and Lewis, which has
been staged in many d city Of these
United States.
Lewis seems to be a living demons
tration of the pugilistic axiom that
once beaten they never come back The
former welterweight champion used to
be about as vicious a fighter as there
is in the ring but last night he was
cautious. Only in the last round. when
he realized that it was his only chance,
he made something of a showing
But that tantalizing left jab of Brit
tons was always in his face stinging
him and binding him. Time was when
Lewis would have forced his way
through, paying little or no attention
to jabs, but not last night He re-
vealed himself a new and cautious
Lewis.
In the third, fourth and fifth rounds
Britton was hitting Lewis almost as
will, though there was not a great
deal of steam behind the blows
The men are matched to meet in
Canada next month. After that they
probably will tour the Western States

Yankees at Last TOddle Home
After Disastrous Trip West
Open Real 'Croocial' Se-
ries With White Sox;
Chicagoans After Perry
By w. O. Mcclellan

The Yankees, who left here a month
ago with their heads in the air and
the club in first place, will appear at
the Polo Grounds this afternoon with
the Chicago White Sox. Disaster kept
barking at the heels of the New York
Americans all along the trip West, and
they return in fourth place. While on
the road they lost fifteen games and
won six.
The series, which starts to-day, is
most "croocial," as far as the Yanks
are concerned. What they do in their
desperate stand under Coogan's Bluff
this month Will decide whether or not
the Yanks will have any chance for
the American League pennant. The
White Sox have running start, and it
is beginning to get into the stretch Of
the flag race.
various reasons for the slip of the
Yankees. Certainly it was not because
of a rush OF casualties like those en-
countered by "Wild Bill" Donovan.
The athletes seem to have their health
and their appetites. They just lost a

medicu Huston, the martial half owner
Of the Yanks, has taken to civilian

any comment fit for publication on the
last run of Yankee luck.
The final test Of the Yanks ought

day. The Chicago team, under the
management Of Kid Gleason, is the
hardest aggregation in the league to
beat. II the Yanks can win three out
OF the four games you may rest as
sured that they still have chance.
Not only are the Sox one Of the smart

the Yankee angors to bleat with an
guish time and time again.

Memo Wins Race

On Actual Time

Owing to the old, old story of meas
urements and corrected times, the
Yacht Racing Association of Jamaica

ner of its annual Orchard Shoal race
for sailing yachts until yesterday, and
even then the committee was not sure
OF the winner in the cabin sloop class.
On actual time the winner was Memo.

The committee first figured that j.
Oppenheim's Nymph was the winner
on time allowance. Hardly had the
announcement been made than the
yacht was protested and remeasure-
ment demanded by the owner of Memo.
Until the craft is remeasured it will
be impossible to positively announce
the winner. On both actual and cor
rected time the winner among the
cabin catboats was Shadow ii. the
property If G. F. npton.
While the Orchard Shoal race was
being sailed on the waters Of the At
lantic, the Rockaway Point Yacht Club
was holding it's annual regatta on
Jamaica Bay. Ruthie II was the first
home among the cabin cruisers. When
the committee finished its work yes
terday Ruthie II still was in first
place.
Not so among the high speed boats.
Sunnyside II was the first to finish, but
on corrected time Viking won first
prize. On both actual and corrected
time Git was the winner among the
open and shelter cabin boats.

BOSTON, July 28:-The toboganning
Yankees ended their most disastrous
Western trip here to-day, when they

Miller Higgins selected Pete Schnei-

Cincinnati Red was as wild as a March

loose control were responsible for four
of the Red Sox runs. In less than five

The Yankees collected eight hits,

Boston did not have to crack out
solid hits to win, for Schneider's wild

Pennock and Witt and had pushed both
