kaplan-Hermann Haven't
 Met So Many Times

Fight fans who think that Kid Kap- Ian and Babe Herman are establish ing record for meeting each other within the hempen had better look up the records of Johnny Dundee and Willie Jackson. These two have met twelve times., Their first was in 1917 at Philadelphia and Jackson won in one brief round. A recapitulation of what they accomplished is as follows
 Five were draws, Jackson won two and five were non-decision contests. Jackson's career in the ring is ter- minated but Dundee goes on seeming ly forever. An announcement that these two were going to fight began to be regarded suspiciously and the fans wouldn't attend, though the two nearly always staged rip-roaring battle. It is the way of all fights and
 five should be enough for any two boxers to meet in. Continuing the ring feud might prove uninteresting.

OLD TIMERS MAY PLAY
Plans Arc Being Discussed For Rattle With B-L Nine May Be Some Trouble Arranging Details.

Negotiations have been started foi a single game, or series between the Besse Leland nine and a nine com- posed of old timers who are not pley- ing regularly this year. Such a game, If arranged. would be purely a sports proposition and would be carried through for the good of the pasttime in this city.
 Arrangements however, may strike snag in the plan of the old timers who, 1t is said, are in favor of play take the whole gate receipts.
 Many think this is not quite favor able to the Besse-Leland manage ment. Baseball is uncertain and one little fluke is liable to change the en- tire aspect of game. If the B-L team was not under heavy expense, the plan doubtless would be favorable. As 1t is however, the management is under considerable expense; that of hiring and pay..:.- for St. Mary's field, paying for balls and other equipment. paying the ul~i es and policemen, insurance premiums etc. Thus. with heavy expenses as handicap, many think the B-L team would be showing poor business acumen to agree to any game in which the winner should take all The fortunes of the game are too uncertain, while the indebtedness is a positive thing.
 Such a game, if arranged satis- factorily, undoubtedly would be a big drawing card.

GASC0S TRIM RANGERS
Score is 15 to 6 and Another Game . For Next Monday Evening Is Now
 Being Arranged.

The Gas company team is rapidly acquiring a reputation in local base ball circles and by defeating the Ran- gers of the city league uast night made it two from that circuit that have tasted defeat at the hands of the Gascos. St. Mary's went down to defeat earlier in the week and the score last night was 15 to 6.
 Driscol who started on the mound for the Gascos was sent to the show CTS early when the Ranger batsmen got his range and bombarded the in- field and outf1eld with g barrage of hits. John Mccormick, who relieved him, did much better. In the mean time four Ranger boSmen were being peppered.
 Tattersall collected three safeties In four times at bat and Leo Robert son poled out a couple of two pagers.
 Another game between these two teams probably will be played Mon day night,
