Lewis Style Ba fling.

p ATED as one Of the greatest spoil

titled his reputation. His dancing.
bobbing and weaving tactics. coupled
with accurate left jabs and straight
rights, made Scott At subject for St.
Elizabeth's during the early stages Of
the battle.
After taking the first round by stag
gering Lew with a solid smash to the
face and a stiff right to the midsec-
ton. Howard dropped the next four
rounds as Feldman fiicked tantalizing
lefts to the local champions head.
Feldman. unveiling the most un-
orthodox ring style since Petey Sar-
ron vacated this noggin- sec
tor, at times would dance from one
corner to the other. tossing left jab
or straight right to Howard's puzzled
face as he fitted past.
In the sixth round, Scott finally
nicked the elusive target. ripping both
fists to the body and head to score
impressively. Howard stopped Lew in
his tracks with q hard right to the
midsection as the Brooklyn battler tore
in during the seventh session and
then planted one OF his most per-
suasive punchs Of the scrap. a sizzling
right to the face. as Feldman bounded

~HICAGO, August 18.-Meet "Or

man in base ball. When "O'
Diz" is not pitching. which
is about every third game the st.
Louis Cardinals play, he's likely
warming up and, when he's not pitch
ing or warming up, he's stall walking.
Dean wants to be in the 1896 world
series. He wants the gas house gang
to win every game and he's as tough
loser as ever there was in the busi-
ness.
It's q show to watch Dean when
he's not pitching or down in the bull
pen. He's never quiet for more than
two consecutive minutes. Up and
down the Cardinal bench he PAGES.
Sometimes he pauses to shout some
thing to the players on the field.

IT WAS learned from a reliable
source that the champion con-
suited a physician about his injury
and made tentative arrangements to
enter a local hospital for an opera

months, the New York Times says.
The injury to the champions hand

Pennant Bee Is Potent.

CHICAGO and St. Louis each has
two games remaining to play on
the Polo Grounds, but if the Giants
can take the lead on their Western
trip. they should be able to defend
it at home. The Cubs and Cards are
booked for six games in September,
which will dispose of the chances of
one or the other and they will be
battling the last two days of the
season, at which time the Giants play
Brooklyn. And this year you may
be sure Bill Terry will know Brook
lyn is still in the league"
Late drives have won the last two
National League championships. The
Cardinals started their charge for the
1884 pennant early in September and
maintained q winning pace To the
finish, and last year the Cubs roared
through the final weeks of the race
with 21 straight victories. So prece-
dent and present position are favor
able to the Giants.
OF course, the Giants may stumble
in. the West, particularly when play
ing the Cubs and Cardinals. in which
case favor st. Louis, for the simple
reason that the gas house gang has
the number Of the Bruins. However,

1T. LOUIS, August 18.-The next
10 years may be the hardest,
but the Browns are ready to
~ carry on.
Louis B. Won Weise, president of
the St. Louis American League Club,
got his first look at the 1896 team
on its home grounds during the cur
rent series here. At the same time
he declared the Browns situation un-
changed.
Sure, the club is for sale" he
said. IT don't think an estate own
ing ball club Is an ideal situation
and if we could get the right people
and the right price We would sell.
But we are not going to give the
property away.
How much do you want for the
team" he was asked.
Have Had No Offer.
S WE have never had definite
offer, couldn't answer that
question. as it would all depend on
how the sale was to be made.
There is one thing I would like
to make clear. though" Won Weise
continued. The sheriff is not at our
heels. While Phil Ball was alive we
had a number of real good years and
built up a fine surplus. For the last
five years We have been living on
that accumulation of profits.
Our losses during the lean years
have been considerable. but We have
reduced them to a minimum and are
prepared to go ahead another 10
years If need be under the present
conditions"
The clubs showing this season has
disc ppointed the owners and Won

he's through with his one great love

I'm ready to 60 back into base bal

same time admitted he didn't know
how he was going to get back.
There's nothing in the world that

When Evers, Joe Tinker and Frank

1t was last year that Evers was sue

Merkle's Mistake Described.
THE score was tied in the last OF

loaded. Al Bridwell, Giants third
baseman. singled Merkle. who was
on first base. saw Moose Mccormick
cross the plate with what would have
been the winning run and trotted
toward the club house, believing the
game over.
But Eyers saw that Merkle hadn't
touched second to complete the play,
as the rules required. and tagged the
sack. Umpire Hank O'Day called
Merkle out.
THE play was the most important
and most effective of my career.

L GAMES IN WEST
MAY DECIDE FATE
Terry's Men Reverse Custom
by Speeding Tempo as
Finish NearS.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

BY FhANCIS j. fOWEhS.
~HICAGO, August l8.-After
peering intently through my
fourth dimension spectacles, l
~ am minded to send word to
Ford Christopher Frick to have the
Polo grounds readied up for the Ma
tional Leagues share of the world
series Unless there is an unsuspected
flaw in my lenses Manhattan is going
to have flve-cent world series to 81
with it's nickel cigars.
The Giants are coming, my friends.
Col Will Terry's men have reversed
their customary route of march and /.
may just win them the championship
For the last two seasons the Giants
started with great speed and then col
lapsed as they turned into the three
quarter or home stretch. This year
they blew early and then recovered to
get back into the battle when the Cubs
and Cardinals became wobbly.
Wear Begins to Tell.
rHICAGO and st. Louis are showing
the wear and tear of sliding in
and out of first place and the strain Of
defending the top rung is not easy at
this stage of the season; not even for
the hard-bitten gas house gang. Card
inal pitching is becoming more and
more ragged as the season moves along
and the Cubs are getting an inconsist-
ent brand of batting that has lost them
many well pitched games. New York
is finally enjoying good hurting and it
will improve if Hal Schumacher should
happen to get back into competition.
The Giants are not a powerful hitting
club but they have the faculty of
making hits count as they did in 1888.
What Is more to the point, the
schedule has been very favorable to
the Giant drive and will give them
an advantage down to the finish.
While Chicago and st. Louis were
slashing away at each other and
standing off the bothersome Cincin-
natl Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates, New
York was knocking over the tumbling
toms on the Eastern front and cut
ting the legs from under the Cubs
and Cards.
New York starts its last Western
trip of the season next week, and that
journey will have very important
bearing on the championship. On
the 11-game junket, New York plays
two games with st. Louis and three
with the Cubs. and II Terry can herd
his players through those series, he
may start giving an occasional thought
to the world series.
