Dean outslugged Jackson in their
first meeting but the El Centre Ne
gro absorbed everything Dean could
throw and was wading in at the
final bell.
The San Diego marine can always
be counted on to put up a great
battle and even the most defensive
fighters are forced to step in and
throw punches when Dean starts
after them.
jackson, however, needs little en-
couragement to start throwing
gloves. He has shown improvement
in recent battles and should give
Dean a mighty tough fight before
the final gong ends the bout.

Giants, Cubs
e. a S h in
New York

NEW YORK, Aug. "a. U.p)-The
battle for the honor of meeting
the New York Yankees in the
world series opens today between
the Chicago Cubs and the new York
Giants at the Polo Grounds.
From the way the Cubs and
Giants have been getting hurt,
neither club seemed anxious to
face the Yanks on the firing line.
The Giants have four cripples. Dick
Bartell has a bad ankle, Sam Les
lie a sprained wrist, Dick Coffman
a spiked leg and Gus Mancuso a
broken finger. The Cubs casualties
are Rip Collins, broken leg, Joe
Marty, injured knee and Aggie
Galan, injured leg.
Bartell's absence hurts the Giants
most. He's the Giants rally-round
boy and without him the team has
no life.
Rival pitchers for today's game
will be Carl Hubbell, Giants screw
baller, and Bill Lee, Cubs right
handler. The Cubs have pounded
Hubbell out of the box the last
two times they faced him. Lee has
been laid up with a pulled muscle
in his side, and has pitched only
42-3 innings in the last two weeks.
The Cubs have a four-gam lead,
but the margin is only two games
on the important side-the lost
column.

Coast Loop
Teams Enter
Last Month
By UNITED PRESS

Pacific coast league teams enter
ed the last month of their 1887
schedule today with San Diego and
Sacramento having the best chance
of finishing first and with Los An
geleS and San Francisco likely to
be the other two teams in the
O'Shaughnessy plan playoff at the
end of the regular schedule.
San Diego led Sacramento by half
game and Sacramento topped the
Seals and the Angels, tied for third,
by 713 games as new series started.
The Padres went home to take on
fifth place Portland, while the
Solons remained on their home lot
to meet the last place but still
dangerous Missions. Los Angeles
moved into Oakland and Seattle
into San Francisco. Four more
series, two of them half week af-
fairs, remain after this weeks play.
The league campaign ends Sept. 10.
AS the season approached its close
it was apparent that an extremely
light batting mark would capture
the individual championship While
in recent years it has taken marks
of 800 or better to win the hit
crown, Rupert Thompson, San Diego,
current leader in batting statistics,
was boasting a mark of only .348
and Art Garibaldi, Sacramento, was
next with .346 Others in the first
five were Gudat, Los Angeles, BAL.
and Pool, Settle and Detore. San
Diego. .339 each.

SHORTY HOGUE
WIN ST R E A K
7 H R { AT E N E D

Shorty Hogues sensational win
ming streak. dating back to the
night he first donned the gloves
to take on an amateur opponent
in the Brawley ring nearly two
years ago, will be seriously threat
ened tonight in the main event at
Brawley when he clashes with Will
son Mackey of Bakersfield.
TIL Bakersfield slugger. who came
within a gnat's eyebrow of hand
ing Shorty a trouncing in the first
meeting between the battlers, is
one of the few fighters to stagger
either of the Hogue twins.
Mackey waded in with gloves
flying in the first round of their
fight and all but blasted Shorty
from the ring.
The fact that Mackey has train
ed diligently for the return engage
ment with Hogue would indicate
that he might accomplish tonight
what he almost accomplished two
weeks ago.
Hogue is reputed to be in a
slump and judging from his show
ing in last weeks bout against
Chico Madrid he may run into
more trouble than he can handle
tonight.
Art Gonzalez and Jimmy Casino
will mix in a rematch in the semi
windup. Six outstanding prelimi-
naries are carded.

fighting no man had ever actually
hurt me. Shaken me up sure, and
stunned me. But Louis hurt. Hurt
awful. Every time he hit me, even

Not so long ago / received in the

Sunday afternoon I dug out a
couple Of passes and trekked to Aqua

races. I vowed before l left San
Diego, however. that I would not
place wager ON any of the horses.
In the third race l spotted a

Shanty Hogan on bad day placed
absolutely last.

race and after a bit of persuasion

put up another dollar.
insisted, however, that we go
over to take squint at the animal
on which I had placed my last
greenback.
The horse, don't even remember
his name now, was rugged look
ing beast and the most curious
animal I ever saw.
He was first in the paddock and
he surveyed every horse and every
person who approached the paddock.
Out on the turf he walked about
quietly, apparently more interested
in the scenery than in the race. His
to run hiked our spirits considerably
apparent confidence in his abaility
and we anxiously awaited the start.
Around the first turn our horse
slippd into tn lead. At the half
he had stretched his advantage
to half length. At the far turn
he was a length and half to the
good and in the stretch he was
two lengths ahead and moving
fast.
Another horse, however, began to
close in but when the pack crossed
the finish line our horse still looked
to be at least half length in the
front.
My companion and I Immediately
broke into an argument over who
would collect the moncy. I was just
about to be declared the winner in
the row when booming voice from
the announcers said. This race will
have to be decided by a photo-fin-
ish."
Waiting for the final announce
ment was like waiting for Santa
Claus On Christmas Eve.
Finally the numbers were posted.

making the batters swing futilely
at his offerings when he is right.
And the fact Joe has had a two
