LEONARD AND FITZSIMMONS
 IN TITLE BOUT.

Benny Leonard, worlds lightweight champion, and Eddie Fitzsimmons, also of New York city, were signed on Mon day by Tex Rickard for a 15-round title bout at the Madison Square Gar den September r. The men are to weigh in at 135 pounds eight hours be- fore they meet in the ring and each has posted forfeit for weight and appear ance
 While he guaranteed a purse of $65,- 900, of which Leonard is to receive $50,- GOO and Fitzsimmons $l5000, Rickard insisted on both boxers putting up sub stantial forfeits. Leonard posted $20,- 900 and Fitzsimmons half that amount immediately after they had signed the agreement.
 q It was learned that Phil Glassman, manager of Lew Tendler, the crack Philadelphia lightweight, was i'll a two- hour conference with Tex Rickard on Saturday morning and that Glassman and his boxer refused to accept the bout with Leonard unless Benny agreed to weigh in at 133 pounds at o'clock. As this is contrary to the state boxing law and the recent international weights decided upon by England, France and the United States, Gibson and Rickard decided to take on Fitzsimmons

MAYS GETS OVATION
 IN FIRST GAME

Carl Mays pitched for the New York Yankees against Detroit Monday and shut out the Tigers 10 to O. It was Mays first appearance i'll the Yankees lineup since the unfortunate accident a week ago that resulted in the death of Ray Chapman, shortstop of the Cleve- land club Mays pitched steady game and while the Tigers got 10 hits off him, they were so well scattered that they counted for nought The Yankee pitcher passed three men to first but failed to strike out a Detroit batter Twice, when his curves broke close to the batters, Mays shouted Took out" as he saw where the curve was going to break
 That the New York fans were with Mays was evidenced by the reception given him. When he appeared in front of the grandstand to warm up" he was applauded and cheered. This was re- peated when Mays was announced as the pitcher for the Yankees and again when he took his place III the pitchers box. The cheering on the last occasion had hardly downed when Mays pitched a strike on his first ball to Young of Detroit and the applause was renewed As the game progressed with the Tigers unable to score, fans i'll various parts of the grandstand shouted words of en- couragement to the Yankee pitcher to Shut them out" and Mays with the aid of his teammates, succeeded in doing this
 Before the game started Mays ex- pressed to several of the baseball writers his resentment of the reported movement of the Boston and Detroit club against him and reference to him as a bean" ball pitcher.
 Both these clubs have pitchers who have hit more men this esason than I have" said Mays. Bush of Boston has hit 10 men and Ehmke of Detroit has hit either nine or 10, while I have hit six"

PHILADELPHIA SPORT
 WRITER SAYS
 BENDER IS WANTED

Chief Bender is once more in the 1ime1ight The Philadelphia Press, in a recent issue ,booms Bender as a possi- bility with either the Tanks, Indians or White SoxN Listen to this:
 BENDER WOULD SWING TIDE.
 Rather the last man in Rome than the chief of an Iberain village applies in baseball as well as it did in the case of the proudest consul in the days when the city on the Fiber ruled the world and the baseball player with the fire of his big league prime still burning strongly within who would rather roam among the brush than draw the plau- dits of the. mad mob is as rare as an Irishman who isn't proud of 1t.
 The average knight of the horsehide will go to any lengths rather than heed the ancient call to the bush so when one come along who still has glorious sum set to come under the big tent 1t IS worthy of more than passing note but when that player absolutely and stead fastly refuses to listen to the siren lure of a chance to gain the heights of worlds series fame again he ranks as an anomaly and such is Charles Albert Bender, foremost of all the Chippeway- an tribe, the greatest Indian baseball player who ever lived not discounting the great Sockalexis or any of the other brilliant redskins who have flashed across the diamond screen.
 In 1914 the baseball world looked on in wonderment when the great "Chief" was let out by Connie Mack after that dismal failure against the Braves and then came couple of seasons of con- tinua1 sl<idding with the Baltimore Fed era1 1eaguers until Bender was appar- ently down and out, released and twirl- ing for independent teams. Then back he came to the Phillies as coach and relief pitcher and the pitcher baseball dom had pitied as being dead one

FRANK MCGOWAN
 IGNORED BY ADMIRERS

Last Sunday was an eventful day in the life of Frankie McGowan, the crack little gardener on the Weissmen, who haiis from Branford
 To show Tn what esteem the home folks hold Frankie, they made him a gift of purse which contained 20 $20 gold pieces. The gift came from Branford friends and also from former associates with whom Frank worked in the New Haven road office. In addi- ton to the 500 the Nutmeg A. C.. presented McGowan with a handsome travelling bag as token of their. friendship for him. McGowan played with the Nutmegs before joining the locals and to a certain extent owes his start in baseball to that organization. As is customary on such occasions, McGowan had little to do during the game that would reveal the success he Is in baseball. although at the bat he. managed to beat out one hit.

LEO DUGAN HURT.

Leo Dugan, one of the famous Dugan twins of Holy Cross baseball fame, who has been on transforming trip with the Newport team of the defunct Three Rivers league, was hit by a pitched ball last week and is now in a Canadian hospital suffering from hemorrhage of the brain. His brother, Len, who was on the same team, is with him, and reports an early recovery.

the American league The case is ended as far as he is concerned, Johnson de- c1ared recently.
 T could not conscientiously attempt to make any trouble for MT. Mays" Johnson said "But it is my honest be- lief that MT. Mays never will pitch again. From what I have learned, he Is greatly affected and may never be capable temperamentally of pitching again. Then also know the feeling against him is to be so bitter among the members of other teams that it would be inadvisab1e for him to attempt to pitch this year at any rate
 Since the Car of the American league made the above declaration Mays has appeared in Yankee uniform, shutting out Detroit 10 to 0, at New York, Monday. Johnson has always shown dislike for Mays since the lat ter bucked Ban with an injunction re straining the officials of the league from interfering with his transfer to New York from Boston.

It was so cold in Chicago Monday that most of the male spectators wore overcoats A cold north wind swept the field, and occupants of the upstairs press stand were thoroughly congea1ed after few innings. It was a day torn from the October calendar, and de- cided contrast to the steamy weather the Giants encountered upon their ar rival Vaughn and Toney were at their best under these conditions, and there was no choice between them until the Giants landed on Big Jeems in the 11th.

KRAMER DEFEATED
 BY MoESKOPS

Peter Moeskops, the champion bi- cycle rider of Holland, defeated Frank L. Kramer, veteran American star. in a one-mile match race in the Velo- drome in Newark, last Sunday. The victory of the Hollander was big surprise to the crowd, who did not figure Moeskops to have much of chance against the great American rider.
 Moeskops rode an excellent race in which he combined brain work with speed and won in two straight heats.
 In the first heat Moeskops rode from in front after much jockeying with Kramer. Kramer tried to take the lead but Moeskops beat him to the jump and went into the last lap leading. Kra- mer pressed him hard all through the last circuit of the track, but was half length back at the finish. In the second heat Moeskops again rode in front and once more Kramer could not get around him. Kramer battled the Hollander and got up on even terms, but could not pass him.

done a comeback with a phenomenal rush. But salary troubles developed and the Phiflies would not pay what Bender thought his arm and head were worth so he was sent to the Yankees by the waiver route but refused to report and was released to manage the Richmond team of the Virginia league last year. At Richmond the Chief" won cham pionship, pitching 2o victories himself.
 This season he came to faster com pany, managing and pitching for the New Haven club of the Eastern league and again he has burned lip his league and with the exception of one day has had the team III first place constantly. So far he has been in 5 games and of these he has won 2 and lost six while the other seven were eitner won or lost by other pitchers, Bender in almost every case merely going in to prevent the opposition from hitting at danger ous points and succeeding invariably.
 The climax of 1t all came last Thurs day when he twirled against Bridgeport and III nine innings allowed only 27 men to face him, attaining the dream sought by every twirler when he pitched no-hit, no-run game, in which only one batter reached first base and that one died in attempting to steal.
 Now the Yankees, the Indians and the White Sox want him, and 1t will just about mean the American league pen nant to the team that lands his serv- ices-if any of them do-for Bender would rather be the chief of an Iberian village than citizen of Rome.
 And this was written ere the Chiefs iron-man stunt, when he tackled the hurfing three days in succession.

LOSS OF MONTANA STOCK WAS
EXAGGERATED, is CLAIM

HELENA, Mont.-Recent reports
concerning losses of livestock in Mon
tana do not appear to be borne out
by the state press. While the recent
storm and cold spell undoubtedly
caused loss in cattle, horses and
sheep, fears that the losses are the
greatest in the annals of the state
apparently are groundless.
There have been isolated instances,
it is declared, in which ranchers suf-
fered very severely, but indications
are that losses thus far are no worse
than ordinarily is expected from such
severe weather as has been expert
enced in Montana this winter.
