New York : Sf. Louis Battles Still Hold
 Stage

New York, August e.-Rounding into the home stretch of the season. the outcome of tho pennant races in both major leagues apparently has resolved into test of endurance be- tween the rival New York and St. Louis clubs. Automatically, several other clubs figure in the running, with Detroit and Pittsburg showing particular strength in their respec- tive leagues, but they have only an outside chance to upset calculations
 The Giants, with their pitching staff cracking badly under the attacK of Pittsburg, and showing only slightly better form against Chicago, lost the advantage gained in St. Louis and dropped in second place Friday. while the Cardinals were trouncing Philadelphia. The cham pions climbed back the next day.
 Yanlxs After Browns
 Displaying better batting strength and with their hurlers. especially Bush and Shawkey. in good form. the Yankees are hot on the trail of the Browns In the west. with one game separating them. Both clubs won to- day, the Yankees taking the opening game from Detroit.
 The Browns, despite loose fielding and the absence of two of their stars, Sisler and Severeid, because of in- juries, showed no indication of re. linquishing their swift pace. Heavy hitting by their home run star, Will Hams, was a feature.
 Detroit and Pittsburg showed the most consistent records of the weck, due to better twirling and heavy hitting. McKechnie has put renewed fitghing spirit into the Pirates, who have climbed to fourth place.
 Ty Copb's men ran their string of victories to eight before Boston. checked the streak Saturday. Pill lette, who beat the Yankees twice In >the last series. was easy for tho Hug men today.
 Indians Slump
 Washington, with stellar pitching. showed winning percentage. while the White Sox and Cleveland slumped. the former due to weak hitting.
 Cincinnati dropped back to the sec ond division as Pittsburg advanced, while Brooklyn's pitchers helped the team obtain an even break in six games. Rogers Hornsby has hit his twenty eighth home run. breaking the National league mark of 27, made by Ed Williamson of the old Chicago Nationals in 1884.
 The weeks record in each major league follows:

 Appearances in the prize ring often times are deceiying." insists Ike Dorgan, who manages fighters when not too busy with handling press arrangements at Madison Square Garden. 'I know that's all true because I saw the thing work out in Frisco. At the same time l saw Spider Kelly demonstrate the real value of a ring second.
 Tt was in the Frankie Neil-Eddie Hanlon fight which, by the was was the toughest I ever witnessed. It went 15 rounds to draw. but the fact that it lasted that long was due only to the superhuman power of Nell to take punishment and the quick thinking shrewdness of Kelly, famous as fighter in the other days and now even more famous as 8 second.
 "The battle was about even-ste- phen for eight or nine rounds. Then Hanlon landed terrific right to. the body and followed it with a left to the chin. Nell reeled and Hanlon swarmed all over him, yet he couldn't put him away.
 Neil was in terrible shape as the twelfth ended. When the thirteenth began Hanlon opened with the most merciless bombardment I've ever seen In prize ring. Neil was down to the ropes and hung there. seem ingly broken and hopelessly beaten. It was 100 to l that he wouldn't last throughout the round.
 Stopped the Police
 At that point the chief of police started to jump into the ring. As he tried It. Kelly grabbed his coat tail and pulled him back. The chief tore loose and again attempted to get through the ropes to stop the fight Once more Kelly halted him by the coat-tail method.
 Having hauled the chief back into his seat. Spider began to wave his arms like a wild man and jabber in every known language. The con duct of Spider was so .pop-eyed'

Philadelphia, August e.-walter M. Hoover, worlds champion sculler, who was here for the golden jubilee regatta of the National Association of Amateur oarsmen, left for his home in Duluth today, downcast and almost heartbroken-his prize sshell was broken.

 Before the chief realized it, the bell rang out and both men went to their corners. Spider pointed a wild flipper at the incoming Nell and shouted at the cop:

 Four Dropped Here
 Johnny Dundee relates how four knockdowns-including two knock outs-occurred in the same fight at about the same time.
 "A dozen years ago two kids were tossed into the same ring at the old Dry Dock A. G." said Dundee. Along in the third round both picked a right hand off the floor and both landed on the opposition button.
 "One kid in falling, flopped against the referee, who was jumping to get out of the way. But too late. The falling body knocked the referee eff his pins and down he went on the floor alongside one of the prostrate fighters.
 "The other boy toppled against the ropes and fell through and out of the ring. In falling to the ground. his arm swung out and the elbow. of it flopped against the head of the time keeper. And that blow ki ed the time keeper off hts seat, on the floor.
 And so it was that the two fighters, the referee and the time keeper were knocked out at the same time"

BEN AND LEW NOW SEEK
15-ROUND DECISION BOUT
Tex Riekard, Of Course, Would
Likely STAGE the Encounter

New York. July 20.-When the ex-
citcment incident to the lightweight
tusslc in "Boyle's Thirty Acres had
subsidized. in measure, the voice Of Lew
Tender, penetrated the resin dust and
made an urgent request for return
match with the champion Of the class
Mr.. Tendler called attention TO the fact
that a very large crowd attended the
contest in Jersey City last Thursday
night, and that there would be an excel
lent chance to attract another large
gathering. Tender said he would be
pleased to meet Leonard in a fifteen
round bout to decision nt any time in
the future.
When the proposal was brought to She
attention Of the champion he fell in
with the idea at once and said he would
like nothing better than return match
with Tender and to decision in fifteen
rounds. Leonard said he felt confident
that he would be able to stop the
Quaker City boy in fifteen rounds. He
added he never tried harder in his life
to stop man than he did in the bout
last night.
In the event Of return engage
lnent between the men promoter would
naturally be an essential feature. and
what IL more natural than to ask Tex
Richard il he would stage such battlc?
Tex Richard admitted that he was not
adverse to putting the boys In the ring
again.
Total receipts were S331 400.
