' IcGraw to a prizefight for maidens.
Each bold athlete has been mixed in
numerous physical engagements
with various parties and there is no
record of either ever having copped
a decision.
Evers became angry at his team
mate, Red Smith, for a trick Smith
played on a Red runner yesterday
and called him a dirty player. They
mixed in the dugout, but were sep
arated. Later in the clubhouse they
went to it without interference from
their pals. At the windup Evers had
a cut under his eye, several bruises
on his face and suffered a stiff left to
the jaw. Smith was unmarked.
Evers now says he is ready to quit
Boston. He says they won't let him
fight any more and the game is tame.
The Braves are all upset because
they aren't in the lead. At least one
member of the team has been
canned daily recently by the umpires
for objections to decisions or trouble
with other players. Stallings was
suspended for three days for a verbal
battlewith Umpire Rigler.
When the Cubs were in Boston
Evers picked a fight with Rollie Zei
der, one of the most inoffensive fel
lows in the game.
Babe Adams, veteran Pirate pitch
er, has been unconditionally released.
Matty Mclntyre, former White Sox
and Detroit player, has been signed

League team.

weight, who is to box Johnny Kil- j
bane for the title Labor day, dropped
Packey Hommey in ten- rounds at
New York. Chaney was, outweighed,
but had no trouble.
