Or maybe they wanted warmer wealth
er before going insane.
When Dineen called Rice out at
third in the third inning he was
given an awful razz. but the red
faced jumps kept right on his way.
Once an irate fan, in returning
foul ball, took shot at Bill, but the
fan was as bad in his direction as
he claimed Bill was with his eye
sight.
In addition to Milan's tumble in the
outfield, Griffin. the AS first-sacker,
raced over to the open seats before

foul fly in the fifth and took nign
dive when he hit the fence. He was
unhurt.
When Rice swiped second in the
third inning he accidentally spiked
Galloway on the hand, the Mackman
being forced to retire. This sent Cy
Perkins from behind the bat to sec
ond base, where he performed like a
real infielder.

Tommy Lowe, the veteran boxer,
who Is handling Ray, is firmly con-
vinced that his protege has champion
ship possibilities. Fur h c more.
Tommy is certain that Ray will win
from Bowen, and win by knockout,
at that.
Kid Sullivan, who is watching out
for the future of the life guard, Is of
contrary opinion. Sullivan thinks that
Bowen should easily outpoint Ray.
Ardmore fans who have followed
the work of both boxers believe that
IL Ray wins, IT will have to be by
knockout inside of the limit but that
If the bout goes the full ten rounds,
Bowen's superior boxing skill would
give him the decision.
RAY is A HITTER.
Ray has proved himself a real hit
ter in all his bouts at Ardmore. He
has almost invariably dropped his OPP
ponent with stiff wallops to the jaw
or body. On form he looks like a bet
ter hitter than Bowen. However, Kid
Sullivan thinks that Bowen packs a
punch sufficient to drop Ray if it
lands on the right spot.
They may think Bowen can't hit"
Nsays Sullivan, but this is wrong. He
can hit just as hard as Ray, only he
is not so spectacular about ii. I'll ad-
NIT Ray has kick, but don't think
he can connect with 1t when he enters
the ring with Bowen"
That listens all right" butts in
Tommy Lowe, the Washington mer-
chant but Bowen is in for the sur
prise OF his life next Tuesday night.
Ray has been training faithfully and
il he doesn't bump Bowen off, I'll sell
out. II he doesn't do that, / don't
know anything about boxing"
DOUT MAKING TALK.
No ring contest booked for the
Ardmore club in months has caused
so much talk among the fans of the
District. Both Ray and Bowen have
been watched all the way since start
ing their careers here. Each has
hackers willing to put up real money.
1t is expected that many bets will be
decided by what happens inside that
ring Tuesday night
Johnny Ray Is mere lad, but he
has. triumphed with such regularity
that his supporters are legion. Not the
best boxer in the world Ray has a
kick that is expected to bring home
the bacon for him. But even IL he
doesn't drop Bowen. he'll hurt every
time Ire lands with either hand.
Bowen is a, better boxer than Ray,
but Tommy loves coming champion
Is expected to make rushing battle
of 1t and Bowen win need all his clev-
erness to elude that wallop Of his op-
ponent. Bowen has a nifty left hand
which may worry Ray, but Bowen
will have to show more than a jab to
keep off his rugged foe.
Anyhow, 1t looks like a great SCRAP,
with a slugger battling n boxer. Many
doubt 1t will go the limit. but while
II does last, II should be full of action.

MILANs WINS CONTEST.

Zeb Milan. escaping a dreadful aft-
ernoon filled with toll and trouble,
defeated the Philadelphia Athletics
yesterday when he doubled in the
ninth inAng with two down and
brought u Charity over, humb!ing
Scott Perry, to 3.
There was something laughable
about that victory OF the Grins. In
the fourth inning Zeb took a high
dive in the garden, seeking to nail
Joe Dugan's two-bagger. He Jared
his entire system. Some said he had
ruined his ulna bone. Others insisted
it was his femur. But 1t must have
ben his medulla oblongata, whatever
that is, for it kidded Connie Mack into
thinking the Tennessee flyer done for
the day. That's how the game was
won in the ninth.
With one down in the ninth, and
the count to 3, Dugan's error put
Pat Charity on first base. Jezebcl
Tecumseh Zachary lifted fly to
Welsh in right and extra sessions
loomed ahead. Pat galloped down to
second anyway, so as to be ready
PERRY PASSES JUDGE.
Up came Joe Judge. He had
crashed safely twice in no unmis-
taxable manner. Connie decided
that it was wiser to pass Judge, with
his batting mark Of $40, and take
Milan, with his batting figures of .383
He was banking on Zeb's crippled
condition, knowing that Milan had
severe charleyhorse, anyway, ana
could not have been helped any by his
toss in the garden.
Zeb didn't look any too powerful
standing there at the plate, but when
he saw one, coming in his groove. he
belted it on a line between Strunk
and Welsh. Soft stun for Charity to
race in with the deciding tally.
Zachary pitched steady ball all day,
deserving the edge he got in the last
frame. Ten hits were made off him,
but he managed to keep them fairly
well scattered. Two singles and
sacrifice gave the AS run In the
first. In the fourth Dugan's double,
a hit batsman, and infield blow by
Welsh and Myatt's sacrifice brought
over two more.
Roth's single, Shanks' sacrifice and
Shannon's hit gave the Griffs their
first in the second. Judges double,
Milan's sacrifice and Rice's hit added
one in the third and the score was
