 Boston. Too Clever

Terry Parker of Boston, earned a decision over Steve Smith of Bridgeport last night in the final bout Of a card staged by the Atlas A. C. of Hartford. at Foot Guard armory, Terry had every reason in the world to know that he had been in a fight when the gong of the 12th round ended the fray, for the Park City Pole proved he has a mighty wallop and chin of iron. At times 1t looked as if Steve might end the muss suddenly but Parker rallied. The Bostonian landed repeatedly with his right. Throughout the bout the lads stood toe to toe and swap ped 'em,
 In the semi i-final Kid Vincent won unquestionably over Young Allaire although some of the few fans pres cnt disagreed with Referee Billy Conway.

HARVARD HARD HIT,
 BUNKER TAKEN ILL
Defense Star Out--Lineup for
 First Game Announced

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 24.-Hen- ry T. Bunker, of the Harvard varsity football squad, was today taken to the stillman infrmary, the college hospital, with light case of diph- theria. Every precaution is being taken to prevent spread of the in- fectuous disease among the squad on the even of the opening of the season.
 Bunker has played tackle for the past two years and is captain-elect Of the track team. While his ill., ness Is not severe the college phy- sicians said that it would be at least a month before he could resume training. Football officials said it was doubtful if Bunker could get back in condition for any of the games.
 A final adjustment of the squad with organization of three teams, was made yesterday in preparation for the first scrimmage of the year to be held today between teams A and B. Francis Akers, varsity quarter last year, were dropped from the squad and Francis La Farge added.
 The first team, whose lineup will probably be kept in the first game with Middlebury on October 1, con- sists of Philip Chase and Edward Bradford, ends; Captain Malcdm Greenough and Edward Nash, tack les; Charles Bradford and Philip Leopold, guards: John Adie. center; Philip spalding. quarterback; and Erwin Gehrke, Alfred Miller and John Hammonds, backs.

PIRATES W LAST EFFORT
 TO CATCH UP WITH GIANTS
American League Race is Unchanged-Y Yankees Score Easy Victory But Washington Also is Victorious After Sensational Rally.
By The Associated Press.

New York, Sept. 24.-At the Polo Grounds today Pittsburgh will force- fully protest the betrothal of Miss National league to the Harlem Giant or forever hold his peace. Mean while, Father Knickerbocker pre- pares for the ceremony at which the Robins must apparently be content to sing.
 The warrior from the west fell from 8 strategic drawbridge into the moat of a to 1 defeat, and will make left-handed attempt to en- ter the castle on Coogan's Bluff to- day, led by Emil Yde.
 John, Laird of the Clan McGraw, stationed an apparently decrepit giant at the gate. Terry at first, Lindstrom at third and O'Connell, in center, were raw substitutes and Kelly. a stranger at second base. Wilson, first year man, was in left and Gowdy, a war veteran, behind the bat. The Pirates charged boldly.
 Tn the second inning Lindstrom cracked a single and O'Connell, a s75,0o0 beauty, hit what may prove to be a $100,000 home run into the top tier of the stands. In the sev- enth, after Terry and Young were passed, Wilson singled and Gowdy, the old soldier, cleaned up with double. In the eighth Kelly checked Ea rr-it frrA 1N1a McQuillan pitched splendidIy, while Meadows faltered twice.
 AS a result of the victory, the Giants, who played like champions throughout, lead the Pirates by two and one-half games. Another vic- tory today will all but check the Pirates out of the race. McKechnie's team can still cinch the pennant, however, by winning all of their games.
 Brooklyn was virtually eliminated yesterday by the Cubs who qualified as best man for the Giants by trim ming Dazzy Vance, to 4, in 10 innings, although they secured only four hits and Vance famed II bat ters. Three of the Chicago blows were homers, two by Grantham, one coming with two men on. Three two base hits by Wheat were not enough. The Robins are full game behind the Giants with only three left to play.
 Washington maintained its two rame lead over the Yankees in the American as both clubs won. The Senators were pressed to the limit by the White Sox who drove Mo- gridge from the box in threatening to overcome an early lead secured from Robertson. Sensational held- ing by the leaders, holding with de- tern1ined grip to their lead, check ed the attempt and won, to 6.
 The Yankees scored another easy victory over Cleveland, s to ?, but must win all of their five remaining games while Washington loses three cx it's five, to win the bunting. The Senators can cinch the flag by talk ing four or tie by winning three.
 Detroit won it's fifth straight game 6efeating Boston, to ?, and the Athletics sharpened up their bats for the series with the Yankees by peat ing the Browns, Il to g. Cincinnati retained fourth place in the Natlonal hv defeating Boston, to l, and the Cardinals won ten inning eanle from the Phillies, 8 to Y.

 Andy Rush, who has breeFed many of them across the corner of the plate in puzzling manner was in mid-season form and allowed the invaders from Maryland five hits.

Free passes and timely hit ting spelt defeat for Baltimore.
 Waterbury got the jump on Groves in the first inning. Schmehl walked but was forced at second on Solomon's grounder to Maisel. Demoe had previously famed.

 The Brasscos scored again in the second inning when Burke walked and made third by hair on Schauffel's single to right He came home on Bush's infield out which was poorly played by Boley.

The lett-hand- CT passed Schauffel and Rush col lected hit through the pitching box. schmehl was passed. Demoe's single to right field Scored scahuffel and Rush.
 Baltimore saved herself from a shutout in their half of the eighth inning. With two down Maisel sin gled into right field and scored on & double by Connolly which also went into the territory patrolled by Moe Solomon. This was their parting shot and the best of the afternoon.
 Waterbury played a fast and ag- gressive game while Baltimore was left behind. Burke in center field and Demoe at second, had a busy day for the Brasscos in the field, while Boley and Tomlin were kept busy by Baltimore.

THIS FEARS RACE H CLOSE
 BUT NOTAS CLOSE AS M i0S
Outcome Was in Doubt Down to Very Day That Season
 Ended-Three Teams Were in Race

New York. Sept. 2i.--The major league pennant battles now raging rank among the closest ever fought but they have yet to eclipse the rec ord of 1908 when uncertainty over the outcome went down to the Anal day of the season in both leagues.
 Curiously enough, three clubs, then, as this year. figured In the hnal pennant drives.
 The New York Giants lost the Na- tional league pennant to the Chicago Cubs sixteen years ago when the famous bone" of Fred Merkle, who failed to touch second in a game between these two rivals. was con- tributing factor which caused re- play at the end of the season which resulted in victory and the pennant for Frank Chances club.
 It was a three-cornered race that year among the Giants, Pirates and Cubs and the Chicago outfit put its

two rivals out of the race in the last two games. The Cubs closed the regular season, with the Pirates. Victory meant pennant for Pitts burgh in the final game but Chicago won and clinched its place at the tcp. The Giants, however, tied 1t up by winning three straight from Bos- ton, only to have the Cubs turn them back in the deciding play-off battle.
 Meanwhile three teams also were battling it out in the American leasue--Detroit, Chicago and Cleve- land. The Indians, with three games to play with St. Louis. could clinch the flag by taking them all. But they lost one and the decision then rested on the outcome sof a game between Detroit and Chicago on the final day of the season. The Tigers, with Bill Donovan pitching, won and gained the right to meet the Cubs in the world series.

 Genaro took seven rounds and scored knockdowns in the fourth, eighth and last rounds. Graham bled freely after the fourth round from the mouth and cut on the right eye. Genaro was unmarked.
 The bout was replete with spasms Of f,yious fighting. The chamSion forced the battle. using a fist left jabb and right cross but found Graham a willing mixer who was always dangerous.
 Genaro earned a shade in the first but was held even in the sec- ond when both traded stiff punches. The champion had shade in the hHu tOun bhc hSbAsh " " "'o~ margin dropping his opponent who was up without a count, Genaro followed his advantage in the fifth and had his opponent bleeding badly from the mouth and cut on the eye.
