MISS JEMIMA
 BEATEN IN BIG
 SARATOGA RAGE

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug. 22.--- Miss Jemima, the fleet Western lilly, met her first defeat since her maiden effort in the Schuylerville Stakes for two-y year-old fillies here yesterday af- ternoon. She finished third to Larry Waterbury's Homely and Commander Ross's Constancy. It was a rather fortunate victory for Homely, which was purchased by Waterbury before the race from Sam Lewis. Constancy probably was best, though Homely won by some three lengths, but the Ross lilly had all the worst of the luck, being shut off a couple of times and then forced to go around her field at the stretch turn, while Home ly had clear sailing, even if she did come from far back. It was hardly a truly run race.
 Miss Jemnna, however, had no ex- cuses. She was off well, raced into the lead in the first furlong and quit under the weight just when it looked as if she would come on. Masked Dancer from the w. R. Coe stable was the one to race with Miss Jemi- ma, and a furlong from home these two were head and head. Constancy, meantime, had been taken out from the rail and Loftus sent her along but Homely had slipped through and nailed both Miss Jemima and Masked Dancer.

BRITTON HOPES
 TO WIN FROM O'DOWD TONIGHT

New York, Aug. 2I.---aJck Britton, welterweight champion, and Mike ODOwd middleweight titleholder, will clash in an eight-round bout at the Newark Sportsmens' Club at Sussex avenue and Jay street, Newark, to- night Britton is taking on a large task, because O'Dowd will have an advantage of about ten pounds when they enter the ring. There has been a large sale of tickets for the bout, and New Workers are going over in large numbers.
 Britton in this bout sees a chance to annex another title, and the event is sure to produce plenty of action and high class ring work. The champions will come together about 10 o'clock. The boxers will divide 66 2-3 per cent. of the gate receipts equally.
 Both BTitton and O'Dowd have trained hard for the bout and are in good shape. Britton put in a stren- uous day yesterday, paying most at 1 tention to the heavy punching bag. It is evident from the manner in which the welterweight is working that he is trying to perfect a knockout waIlop. O'Dowd boxed 12 rounds at top speed with his sparring partners. IL was no secret around the camp at Lakewood. where O'Dowd is putting the finishing touches to his training, that the middleweight star was being coached as to how to evade Britton's s left jab.
 The question as to whether the men will box straight rules or clean break will be decided this afternoon, when another conference will be held among the managers of the boxers, the pro- moter, and the referee.
 The Newark club may be reached by Hudson Tube to Park Place Sta ton, where Central avenue cars and 1 jitneys run to the ArmOry.

Two champions, great fighters in
 their respective classes, clash in Jer-
 sey tonight when Jack Britton, pre-
 mier welterweight battler and Mike
 O'Dowd, the boss of the middle
 weights, step into the ring to do bat
 tie. The bout is of extra ordinary
 interest not only in respect to the
 element of doubt as to which is the
 better man but because of the pre-
 cedent which would be established in
 the event of Britton's winning by a knockout. If such a thing should happen it would be the first time in
 the history of the American ring that welterweight champion was also the
 holder of the middleweight crown Bantam champions have whipped
 featherweight titIe-holders, feather
 weights have whipped lightweights
 who have once held the greatest hon.
 or of the ring-the heavyweight bau-
 ble. But there has never been T
 welterweight who could reach out to the class above him and toppIe over its bully. Terry McGovern held the bantam, feather and lightweight titles all at one time although he could only defend one of them The
 Brooklyn Terror acquired this rare distinction by whipping, respectively, Pedlar Palmer, George Dixon and 1 Frank Erne. He was the fighting marvel of the ring. Bob Fftzs.m- mons won the heavyweight cham pionship when there was a dearth of material for him to battle in the mid | dleweiGht class. Little Jimmy Wilde, the British phenomenon who is genuine hy-weight, has bested the best bantams on either side of the water.
 The welterweights alone have fail ed to produce a performer who, so far outclasses his own department that he can successfully joust with heavier men and win another title Joe Walcott, the famous Barbadoes Demon, was perhaps the greatest welterweight the game has ever pro- duced. He was the legitimate title
 holder back in 1901 and was certain ly at least the equal of the best mid | dleweights of his time, although he never had the satisfaction of proving it. He fought middleweights and ! heavies and usually demonstrated his superiority. Kid Mccoy, Tommy Ryan and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien | were conceded to be the best of the middleweights. Walcott fought | O'Brien twice, once in a no decision | six round affair and the other a ten 1 round draw. However, Walcott, al | that time, had a middleweight hoo | doc in the person of Kid Carter who | decisively whipped the coIored man
 twice. Honey Melody, who finally | conquered Walcott and won the wei | terweight crown, emerged from his ! class shortly before winning the | championship, to meet Joe Thomas | the great middleweight, Joe put the | great welter away, cold, in eleven | rounds.
 ! Jack Britton is a marvelously clev- 1 CT boxer with a lightning left jab. Ia all probability he will oulpoint ! O'Dowd who is a fighter pure and | simple. Britton is not noted for his ! heavy hitting but he proved that he | is capable of releasing a knockout | when he won his title from Ted Lew ! is last March. If he can repeat on Mike O'Dowd tonight he will have ] been the first welterweight to dis l possess a middleweight of his lau- | rels.

How Umpire's Life
 Was Saved Over In
 France During War

Jack Barry, the former big league
 star who at one time played on the Giants, and who Is now connected with the athletic department of the Knights of Columbus in Paris, writes an interesting letter on baseball. He makes a suggestion, if adapted by the
 big leagues. would prevent the lives of the umpires being in danger in any particularly bitter series or cham pionship games.
 Barry has learned of a way to stop pop-b bottle throwing. or cries of kill the umpire" Jacks idea, or at least the idea that he received from Billy F,riel, another old-time player and star, who is also a K. of c. secretary, lis to always have a brass band on hand and to have them strike up 'The Star Spangled Banner" when things look squally. Here's Barry $ letter to William P. Larzin, American overseas director of the Knights of Columbus:
 "U-mpiring baseball games in which the doughboy was concerned sometimes requires the ability and also the agility of men of the class of Hank OiDay, Bill Klem and other such past masters in the art of hand ling the indicator. Let me assure you that when the American Dough- boy has a few hundred francs bet on his favorite team it behooves the ar bitter to be very. very cautious as to his decisions because that same doughboy knows the game of base

TENNIS STARS
 OF AUSTRALIA
 VERY POPULAR

rpovu chat the Australian tennis ulaxers have lost their sea legs and are beginning to play tennis, the gall H,rfes arc finding the team of the Austranan Imperial Forces a mighty iflkeable lot. The ability of Nor man Es Brookes won a host of admir- ors when he was here in 1914, and this admiration Is deepened as the class of his game is realized. At 42 years of age he is playing wonderful tennis and many a youngster watch ing him in matches at Newport and Longwood has found something to copy in his versatile, smooth-run- ming game
 Gerald l.. Patterson, nephew Of Madam Melba, captain in the artillery for three years and heralded as the Hurricane" is bound to attract at tention to any match in which he takes part. Patterson Is well set-up, five feet, eleven inches tall and weighing 166 pounds, although he looks a bit heavier. He has the face of a good fighter, ruddy in appear ance from his outdoor life. Patter- aon ia A great believer in tennis for boys and his experience justifies his opinion, for he began playing when only ten years old. His father taught him the game and has coached him fin later years, although of course he has had advice from many other play CTS. He learned to play on hard courts which accounts In part at least. for his speed.
 The young Australian has studied the game for years, much of his in terest dating from McLoughlin's play ing in Australia; he has picked up many pointers. too. from his associa- ton with Brookes. He does not aspire to any specialized style for he believes that a weli-rounded game Is most likely to succeed. He has a fast service with plenty of break. hits hard overload with some smashes that are reminiscent of McLoughlin' 8 best. and covers courts fast and cas- Gfy. His strokes off the ground ap- peaz, to be good, but in the early matches were nothing wonderful
 Patterson Is greatly impressed by xfls number of young players who at,ow class in this country. and de- paored the lack of promising young stars in England In this connection R- V Thomas. who was chosen for a. DaSts Cup team . few years ago, ssAso commented upon the youth of C-hartas s. Garland, for instance, ytnhose showing at Wimbledon was a great surprise Tho English think that a man can play in champion nfdp form only after years of exper- fence. Thomas spoke of the diffi- culty Mclaughlin has had in main tafning his game at the point he seached a few seasons back. All Australians are keen for McLough- nn,s style of play. both Thomas and Randolph Lycett saying that his rec ord had been followed there with the greatest interest

PATTERSON IS HURT AND QUITS
 TENNIS BATTLE

Southampton, N. Y., Aug. PA badly strained right arm caused the retirement of Gerald L. Patterson, the Australian player. in the lawn tennis tournament on the turf of the Meadow Club here yesterday.
 He had fought through a lively match with his partner, Norman E. Brookes, against Frederick F. Der ham and Major E. B. Marram, in the second round of the doubles. When the Australian holders of the United States doubles titles were within a stroke of defeating their opponents they suddenly ceased the rallies.
 Walking to the umpire's chair Patterson put on his coat. Brookes spoke a few words to Bob Wrenn, who had acted as umpire, at which the latter announced to the surpris- ed gallery that owing to a strained arm Patterson had decided to de fault The score for Derham anC Major Harram was hung up as 3-6 6-7, defaulted.
 Later in the day Patterson, be cause his arm troubled him, went tc Dr. Thorpe of the Southampton hos pital, and had an X-ray photograph of his right arm to determine the eX tent of the injury or strain. Ac cording to the big Australian thi did not show anything of a serious nature.
 He strained his arm during tn national championship doubles a Longwood last week, and decided tC default in the singles and to give tht arm a rest, following the advice o. the physician, so as to be able tc compete in the national singles tournament next week at Forest Hills.

Phil Douglass Quits Giants
 And MCGraW Suspends Him
Erratic TWirler Has Not Been Seen by Manager Since Tuesday and Is Reported to Have Gone to Chicago.

New York, Aug. 22.---Phn Douglas is shuffling again. He has shuffied himself out of New York and away from the Giants Douglas failed to appear at the Polo Grounds on We'd nesday. When he failed to show up
 again yesterday John McGraw sus- pended him and placed him on the ineligible list. Some of the players declared that Douglas had gone back to Chicago.
 Douglas reported i'll with a cold last Friday. By Monday the illness had changed to ptomaine poisoning, but on Tuesday Douglas went in against the Cubs in the first game of the double header. For the second time
 in as many tries since he was traded to the Giants Douglas failed to beat the Cubs, and he felt the sting keenly. l McGraw was irate against the l pitcher yesterday, and declared that he would not stand far another Bugs l Raymond on his club. Douglass de- | lection at this time brought the ire of
 his fellow players on his head, too.

Joe Lynch Seeks
 Chance To Take on
 Busy Benny Valgar

Eddie Mead, manager of Joe Lynch, the West Side bantamweight, :, takes exception to the recent state ment issued by Joe Jacobs, manager of Benny Valgar, to the effect that Lynch should mind his own business and not butt in on fight with John- my Kilbane for the featherweight title.
 Mead writes:
 "Where does Jacobs and his phoney fighter come in to tell Lynch-the boy who fought for his country. while Valgar was playing possum right in New York-what to do? Ask the public who should meet Kilbane and every man will answer Lynch g Random appreciates that the Irish man is a fighter from his head to heels and he proved it when his country sounded the call to go over and lick the Hun.
 Now Jacobs comes out and declares Lynch is trespassing over his terri tory. If Jacobs thinks his protege can defeat Lynch, Manager Mead can show him where he can win a lot of money. Lynch will meet Valgar at 122 pounds ringside and Tom O'Hara stands ready to bet s1,O00 that the Irishman licks the Frenehman. Roy Green of Fenway in Boston, stands ready to stage the match.
 Now if Mir. Jacobs means business here is his. chance. He should either accommodate Lynch or crawl into his hole and stay there, for the American public will not stand for anyone telling Lynch to mind his own business. The boy who fought in the trenches is an idol with the public and the fans will back him to beat the French Flash" any time ha starts against him.
 Come on Jacobs and show your colors!

 Said the major: oh, that's all right, Mir. Umpire, don't worry for we have everything arranged for your protection in case of trouble But this seeming assurance did not quite satisfy the umpire who insisted on knowing what the major had in mind Then it was learned that the colonel had arranged with the band, which was in readiness, to strike up The Star Spangled Banner if troub- le occurred which meant that every one must stand 'Attention,'
 This is a hunch to John Heydler of the National League and Ban Johnson of the American League to have Q band travel with the umpires all the season, thus assuring peace among players and arbiters.
