CHASE, %OVlLL
 CLASH TONIGHT

Speaking as a whole and not in dividually, the Chase Co, baseball team, undefeated winners of the first round in the Industrial league, have a great ball team and tonight they will pitt heir strength against Scovilps in the feature league tilt slated for Hamilton Park at 6 o'clock.
 Ed Farley's charges will be at thefr full strength in tonight's postponed tilt. Friday evening in another postponed game they will collide with Worden's at the same park at the same time. To- morrow night Chemical meets Worden's in a postponed contest.
 If Chase comes through in both contests they will be declared sec ond round champs and playoff will not be essential, but if either ScovilTs or Worden's upset the dope bucket a playoff will be es- sential.
 The situation in the Dusty League prior to the games carded for this evening seems to be quite compli- cated. Both Chase and the Chem ical hines must win their contests to stay in the running for the sec ond round title. Defeat for both teams can only mean that the American Brass will be acclaimed the division winners.
 The schedule for this evening: Hamilton Park. Diamond No l at 6 o'clock, Chase vs Scovills; At Naugatuck Recreation field, Chem ical vs Worden's.
 Schedule for Friday. At Hamil- ton Park, Diamond No 2, Chase vs Wordens.

Hold Those Tigers!
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

From every indication, the American League pennant winners of 1894 will be decided within the next three days. At any rate, John J. Fan will get a pretty idea of whether the World Series will be in New York and Detroit, or just in New York, where it will cost a nickel for Gotham's bleacherites to get to the scene of action. Such a peck into the future has been tag ged a subway series" by some of the boys who write about the na- .tional pastime, but one must think of transportation to Detroit just now, if the World Series comes to mind, as that four and one-half game lead the Tigers boast looks like the mountain above the mole- hill. Yankee strength in their own back yard is proverbial in the American circuit, but against that there is litter of Tigers who have won a dozen games in a row, and have yet to be stopped, which brought them right up against double-header with the Tanks to- day, with the worst they should do being an even break, for with eight men hitting about 300 against only four such clouting Tanks. the edge in batting power is decidedly with the team that has proven the class of the circuit all season and have been kept on their toes con- tinually by peppery pilot, bag cared Mickey Cochrane, who has even deserted his saxophone to concentrate on baseball games ahead of his team. By Saturday, the Tigers can coast in, or start fighting all over again. We shall

Bill Miller and his dictionary of similies to beat the drums.
 So It Has Come to This.
 Mi1ler's first act was reclaiming the 160-pound wreath for Walker, and to take a nationwide poll of sports editors to ascertain who has the best right to it -- Walker, Vince Dundee, who fences with Teddy sYarosz in Pittsburgh on September II, or Marcel Thil, the bald bomber of La Belle France.
 It strikes me that Miller solved the problem when he sent out his auestionnaire. Any time a ballot has to be taken to determine a champion, there is none worthy of the name.
 The 3O-year-old Thil perhaps has the strongest claim, but ring worms would like to see him dem onstrate his supremacy outside of Paris.
 Dundee, topped by Thil and twice repelled by Yarosz, made the left-hander, Lou Brouillard. look like the Missing Persons Bureau to gain the recognition of the New York Boxing -Commis sion.
 Yarosz, the only youngster of the lot, has a phenomenal record on paper, but his performances outside of Pittsburgh at times have been rather unsatisfactory. The Pole Is an awkward swinger. without a punch to bring the cus- toners to the edge of their seats.
 
 Good Fighters Too Few
 Corbett, whose brief occu- pancy of the welterweight throne was terminated by Jimmy McLar- nin's first furry of punches, is an awkward mauler who has been around for more than ten years.
 Walker is the distance from San Francisco to Elizabeth, N. J.. from what he was, but still may have enough left to put the breath of life into one of boxing's sev- eral gasping classes. But things certainly are in sorry shape when a division has to fall back on an old-timer like the Toy Bulldog.
 Gorilla Jones, the Akron negro, might be able to whip them all, but who would care?
 That is what is wrong with the beak- busting business. There are too few good fighters for the trade to tie to.

 Another musky season is in full swing in Canada, Wisconsin, Min nesota, Michigan, Ohio, Penn sylvania, New York, and other states in which this great game fish Is found. Following are few lunches which may result in one of those big fellows champing down on your hook:
 In lakes, the old lunkers at this time of year can be found just off weed beds in deep water, while in rivers you'll find them hiding under fallen trees, in deep holes at the foot of fast water, and in long, still stretches in which the depth of water keeps out lot of heat from the sun.
 In lakes the 'lunge is an un- derwater feeder this time of year. For that reason you are more apt to get a rise trolling or casting over the edge of weed beds with a rather large spinner-bucktail combination, to which aa long piece of pork rind. split up the middle, is affixed.
 Deep travelling pixies and other wooden lures, as we'll as metal WODDlerS that get uOWH WILL bring strikes.
 We caught numerous muskies near Hudson, Ont, last year on a variety of lures, but the most eff fective was the spinner buektail com mbination. The hooks of your lure must be needle sharp and fairly large-sharp to sink into the bony structure of the fish's mouth, and large to hold hom once he's on.
 Live bait fishermen can find few baits better than an eight or ten-inch perch or sucker. Dan- gled over weed beds and allowed considerable freedom to swim around through the various chan nels the 'lunge hides in, this will surely bring a strike, for when a husky Is on the feed, he wants a real mouthful.

Hurrah For Helen

All eyes throughout the tennis world started concentrating on Forest Hills to-day where Califor- mia Helen Jacobs began her de- fense of national honors won so dramatically last year from Helen Wills Moody, a sister from the land os sunshine and film extras. Miss Jacobs sailed through first round opposition yesterday in straight sets as expected, but in Jane Sharpe, of Pasadena, whom she meets to-day, there will be task number one to be disposed of, for Miss Sharpe represents classy op- position even for the great Helen, whose prestige has dwindled con- siGerably since her loss at Vim bldeon and subsequent defeat at Seabright by Carolin Babcock. However, she has what it takes to bp a champion and that's plenty of courage and a good game, so here's to her and successful defense of her title.
