Quilter Deserved Win
in Bout With Kid Vic

Saturdays Anaconda Standard
speaking of Billy Cutters go Friday
night in Butte with Kid Vic, has the
following to say:
"Quilter, at ia, battled Vic of Vic
tor, Colo, 119. around the ring for
six rounds, leading all the way, and
then only getting a draw. The Great
Falls redhead showed up much better
than Kid Vic and laid his right and
hook and straight left on the Colo
RADIO boy almost at will. He had a
greater edge for the decision than
did Mouahan and should have been
awarded the fight.
Billy Quilter led his man almost
all the way through with Kid Vic
showing a tendency to want to hold
on and ride. Quilter took his first,
second. fourth and sixth rounds east
ly. Vic had a shade in the third
and fifth.
'Quilter started off in the first,
using his right hook and cross to good
advantage. In the second he got
working faster and drew blood from
the Colorado battler's nose and
mouth.
The fourth round was pretty slow.
Quilter continued to use his right
on the side of Vic's jaw, while the
latter got started with his own
straight left. There were some pref
ty hard ones on both sides in the
fifth but neither could count a kayo.
Quilter took the last round easily
with his right alone"

By GEORGE CHADWICK
Spcc,ai Correspondent of Great Falls Tribune

New York, Sept. 23.-Arrangements
for the world series, so far as New
York is concerned, will be much the
same as they were in 1927. There
can BE no addition to the seating ca
pacity of the Polo grounds without in
terfering with the field. There will
be no attempt to make any,.
1t was announced today that plans
which were put into effect in 1911 and
which have always been continued, will
be followed as in the past. There are
a few more scattering seats at the
present time than there were in 1921
but on the whole the general scheme
of things is the same. The man who
devised the arrangements is no longer
| connected with the club, but his meth
| DDS have been standard for years.
The demand for seats will not be
! abated from other years, because there
has always been a greater call than
/ capacity and always will be-. The mere
| spectacle alone would command q suf-
ficient patronage from the transients
whether New York turned u or not
If the seats were not put out by appli-
| cations and were handed out to the
~speculators, the latter would take
thousands of them in a block and fig
ure on getting rid of them at the
hotels.
No great enthusiasm exists even in
New York over the ~presumable victory
of both New York mines. The fans
seem inclined to take it as they did in
1921, without show of feeling. When
the Giants finally won the series from
the Yankees in 1921, 80 per cent of
the crowd filed out of the field with
out as much as a look at the victorious
team. They had witnessed the show
and were ready to go home. In the
1908 series, when the Giants won their
first worlds series, the crowd sur
rounded the clubhouse and remained
there for nearly an hour cheering for
the players and demanding to see
them. That kind of enthusiasm no
longer exists in the metropolis. More
spirit is displayed over the ~presumable
winning Of the Yankees than there is
over the hollow victory of the Giants
The impression holds ground deeply in
New York that the National league is
not SO strong as its rival this year and

Seating Capacity.

that the victory of the Giants over q
soggy eastern representation n a
badly managed western representative
don't stand for much.
This will not affect the attendance
in the least. The city is too big for
the promoters of the club to worry
about anything of that nature. Last
year, on the first day of the series, the
upper part of the stand did not begin
to be filled, and on that last day it was
not chock-a-block. On the first day
it is probable that the attendance sim
mered off because the game was over
played from a sensational standpoint
There were a lot of hot air yarns
about the ticket buyers in line all
night and the fans down town decided
they wouldn't go up and take a chance
As a matter of fact, before the game
began. there were 5000 empty seats
and a lot of ball players shedding tears
that so much space should have gone
to waste. They go in on the first four
games, and they scanned the stands to
see the size of the Grove with eyes
that were hungrier thai those of the
bosses.
Boxes to the games hold four and
are usually sold intact. In fact, it is
out of the question generally to get q
box. Friends of the owners and city
politicians have to be considered
Some of the boxes are occupied by
those who seldom or never see a game
during the regular season.
If the spectators want seats, they
usually send their families over to the
New Jersey side of the river and have
them buy postal orders and send for
them with fictitious m attached.
If the two New York clubs play for
the world title, the Yanks will go into
the fight favorites in the betting. 1t
is the first time that there has been
sentiment in evidence in New York.
Last year there were many who
| thought the Yanks had a chance to
win, but that was as far as they went
and they wouldn't bet anything better
that ever money. This year it is diff
ferent. One man in the Hotel Astor
put up $1,000 to $500 on the Yanks
defeating the Giants, and that it would
not be necessary to play seven games
That is going some.
The fiest game, no matter who
PLAYS for the ~pennant, will take place
on the Polo grounds October 4.
