GIANTS CANNOT
LOSE PENNANT NOW
M'Graw's Men Can Slump And
Still Capture National
League Honors
If any fans are still losing sleep
over the possibilities of the Giants
leing beaten out for the flag-, it might
interest them to know that H the
;iants need do to reasonably clinch
the pennant is to travel at a .600 clip
i:ntil the end of the season. Even
should they play at a .400 gait for the
remainder of the campaign, they are
reasonably sure of the flag-. i
This morning the' Giants have won
sa games and lost 43. The club
i.as still- 22 games to play. The
J billies hive won 78 i games and lost
!. They must still play 27 games,
t-hould the Giants break even on
their remaining 22 games they would
have 100 victories against ,54 defeats.
In order to beat this performance
the Phillies would have to-win 23 of
their remaining 27 games, an .852 clip.
Should they win only 21 of their 27
fiimes. and the- Giants breakieven .on
tneir 32. New York would sUH" win: by
e game.
If the Giants played .400 per cent,
tall between now and the end of the
season, they would finisfi with 9S vlc
lories and 56 defeats. To defeat them
the Phillies would have to win 21 and
lose only 6, a .778 clip. If they won
only 19 and loot 8 they would be de
feated by a game.
The Giants can still- be beaten out,
but there is very little chance left to
head them off. , s

THINKS BOXING
COMMISSION BAD
Sheriff Harburger Says BWs
Between Whites And Blacks
All Right
Sheriff Harburger' gave out the fol
lowing statement, yesterday in refer
ence to the action of he New York
State Athletic Commission in1 prohibit
ing boxing bouts with negroes and
white ttien as opponents.
"The 1 Boxing Commissioners have
violated the doctrines of the Consti
tution of the United States and of the
laws of the State of New York, and
should be removed by the Governor of
this State.
"In - barring contests between colored
and White men tizenship has been
set aside and an asinine rule adopted
which will not hold in any court of
Justice in this State, and the clubs
can engage citizens to box'nnler a law
which is recognized by the highest au
thority in this Stat. This ludicrous
rule which the board has adopted
should not be 1 tolerated toy any club
in this State. The board allows non
citizens to engage in boxing contests.
I have witnessed a Chinaman boxing
at" two -clubs,' and not an objection
by these censors, j I do not wish to sei
our State violating a constitutional
provision. The question of citizenship
ig . at stake. It Is as momentous now
as when the great President Lincoln
made the colored men free, and from
that time ; on, until now, their rights
as free men have been recognized by
jaw, and these rights cannot be abridg
ed. Sentiments of a prejudiced nature
rrKust not prevail."

SMALL SQUAD IN
FIRST YALE DRILL
Only 50 Turn Out When Coach
Jones Starts Practice
A squad of hardly 30 men, in which
were included only three veterans,
gathered at Yale field yesterday after
noon to start the football season's
work on the gridiron there. Capt.
Ketcham, the All-American center,
Cornell and Markle, the half-backs,
were the three veterans on hand. The
squad was minus the entire list of
linesmen, who have been at work at
Nantucket, as they did ' not arrive.
They were on the field today.1
Head Coach Howard S. Jones took
up his work with the team and he was
assisted yesterday by Carl Gallauer,
the tackle, and Trainer John Mack.
In addition the following coaches have
arrived here: Dr. William ' J. Bull,
Jesse Spalding and Douglas Bomeisler.
Only the simplest kind of practice
was held, passing the ball, falling on
it and running off simple signals for
the 'backfield being alone scheduled.
Two backfield squads were formed,
including, in the first. Miller, center;
Thompson, quarterback; Hammer and
Markle, halfbacks, and Cornell, full
back; and, in the second, MacLeish,
center; Anderson, quarterback; Ains
worth and Beckert, halfbacks, and
Driscoll, fullback.

the fifth lap and was unable to finish.
Despite England's victory the Amer
icans are still undaunted. The con
test does not conclude until one na
tion has won twice. Englishmen axe
confident that the cup will remain
here, because or the wonderful per
formance of Maple Leaf IV. This

DOHERTY AND M'PARTLIN TO
UMPIRE IN POST SEASON GAMES
Other Notes of Interest to Enthusiasts in
Various Sports
(By Wagner.)
President O'Rourke of the Eastern
association, who has Just returned
from the meeting in Boston where the
post season feeries between Lowell and
Hartford was arranged,- thinks the
series will prove a financial success.
He says Lowell fans are showing great
interest and Owner Clarkin reports
enthusiasm in Hartford. The two um
pires from this league who will prob
ably officiate are Doherty and Mc
Partlin. Hartford wants these two so
the commission which has the matter
in charge win undoubtedly .appoint
the pair.
Owner Clarkin allowed himself, to
be bluffed by the New England
leaguers when they put through a
clause stating thart no players could
take part unless they had been mem
bers of the teams prior to August 15.
Shortstop Bill Morley of Hartford has
Joined Washington and if he cannot
return Hartford will be In a fine fix
without a shortstop. It would look
great to use a pitcher or catcher in
the infield. Clarkin should have in
sisted upon his rights and demanded
the p'rivilege of using another league
shortstop If he could not get Morley.
He is entitled to that and would b9
Justified in refusing to play unless the
Lowell people consented. Now he is
up a tree If he cannot secure Morley
Pittsburgh' has purchased Catcher
Coleman from Columbus of the Amer
ican association.
Go-Between, the famous racing stal
lion, winner, of the Suburban Handi
cap in 1906, fell dead under the wire
as he won the mile running race at
the Berkes County Fair in (Reading,
Pa., yesterday. Jenks, .... a colored
Jockey, fell with the horse but was
not hurt. The stallion was owned by
A. W. Kline, and was. formerly the
property of Henry W. Shoemaker, of
NewTork. . Go-Between" s time for the
mile, yesterday, was l:-49.
Dan Duffy, a pitcher who won 14
straight games in the Union associa
tion, .has Joined Pittsburgh.
The New York Americans. have sent
Pitchers Shears and Martin to Jer
sey, City. Shears came from Brock
ton, Mass., where he had been farmed
and Martin was from -Lawrence, Mass.
i : BilL Holden, the fonner New Lon
don outfielder, showed! , in center field
for the New York Americans yester
day. He caught five flies and banged-
out a three bagger that scored a
run. Harry Cross in the New York
Times says of Holden:
"Another stranger came to the Tan.

who comes from Millionaire Morton
F. Plant's team in New London. Hol
den showed right off that he is en
titled to membership. He banged out
a three-bagger, in the eighth inning
which rolled to the centre field fence
and pushed a run in. Yes, Holden
belongs. He got five rockets in cen
tre without a spill."
Two. Bridgeport boys did good work
in the intercollegiate golf tournament
at Philadelphia yesterday. Julian
Btehop of the Yale team, beat Wash
burn of Princeton and Nate Wheeler,
also of Yale, won from C. M. Dennis,
Cornell, one up.
The Remington-Yosts expect to give
the Bridgeport club a good! argument
at Newfield, Sunday. Speed Finn will
be in the box with McCormick behind
the bat. Chief Snyder and Biobby
Robertaille will pitch for the Cross
men. '
Watch out - now for the-stories about
Yale expecting a hard game from
Wesleyan. Th practice season is on
ana the usual gloom will pervade the
Yale camp.
Charley MlHer, the California heavy
weight, has been matched to fight Al
Palzer in New York next Wednesday
night. '
Our worst fears were realized. They
couldn't keen Booth Hopper on the
bench until the Phillies left town and
consequently the former New Haven
twirler was beaten in his first big
league start yesterday by 8 to 2. He
hurled: for the St- Louis Nationals.
Ritchie Promises
To Meet All Comers
Coincident Tvith Willie Ritchie's with
drawal from his match with ' Freddie
Welsh a letter has been published in
which the lightweight champion sets
forth at great length -what purports to
be Jiis exact position In the boxing
word ' Ritchie heads his statement by
saying that his motive ie to make clear
to the publie just what his intentions
are regarding his various challengers,
bo that he will not be misunderstood
and his popularity injured. '
What follows read a like a, fairy tale
too good to be true. It Ritchie fol
lowed out the schedule he outlines he
would become the model pugilist of all
time. Popularity, says -Ritchie, is what
he desires above aU things, and he. will
stop -at nothing in order to enjoy the
good will of every boxing fan in the
country.
. In brief, he promises not to avoid
any worthy challenger; following his
bout "with Welsh to take on Packey
McFarland, Leach Cross and Tommy
Murphy in the order named; to see
that, his opponents receive a Just share
of the purses; to avoid long theatrical
tours between matches and, in a word,
to act as no champion of the ring; past
or present, ever thoughtof doing.
However, the despatches from "Van
couver are strangely at variance with
Rltchle'sv bold utterances.' To an ap
parances he has at last come to real
ize that his s former conqueror would
have almost ' an even chance 'of - repeat
ing. ;
Ritchie was guaranteed $15,000 and
50 per cent, of the moving- pictures, the
total of which he . himself estimates
would reach $35,000. Yet he turns his
back on all this with no excuse that
sounds at all reasonable at this dis
tance.
Welsh-has already made claim to the
world's lightweight championship by
default, as is the fashion in England.
No doubt he will receive just as much
recognition in his own country as ha
would if he had knocked Ritchie out.
An American title cannot pass except
through a referee's official verdict,Nbut
elsewhere Welsh may be able to make
his contention good. At any rate, Rit
chie has been placed: in an unfavorable
light and it is up to him to do -a-lot of
explaining.
CORNELL FAVORS
BIG QUARTERBACK
Ithaca, N. Y., Sept. 12-r-Four teams
were formed from the forty-six Cornell
football candidates on the field yester
day and for half an hour the men ran
through a brisk signal practice. Coach
Sharpe lined up a first team and gave
out some extra work, -as the first game,
is only two weeks away. -.Only, two of
last year's varsity were on this eleven
Captain Munne at, left guard ana
Taber at right halfback.
The gbif t of Lahr from tackle to
fullback was significant of the
coaches' intention to find a heavy man
for this place. Anotner notable shift
was the playing of McCutcheon, J first
sub centre last year, at guard. A. J.
Frick, who played football in Cali
fornia but ' was ineligible last year,
came out today.
TODAY IN PUGILISTIC ANNALS.
1907 Abe A-ttell defeated Jimmy
Walsh in 10 rounds at Indianapolis.
This was the third and last bout be
tween the clever little Hebrew who
was so long the leader in his class
and the hard-hitting Boston boy.
Their- first meeting was at Chelsea in
February,.! OS, and Welsh stayed the
full 15 rounds, but lost the decision.
Jimmy still believed he could lick
Abie, andUate in the same year they
were matched at Los Angeles. Attell
put over a -knockout in the 8 th round.
Still Walsh wasn't.satisfied,' and clam
ored for another chance. Abe was
always ready to oblige anybody, from
Jeffries down, and the Indianapolis
session was the result.
1907 Jack Johnson and Sailor
Burke fought 6 rounds at Brtdgeport.
1911 Tommy Murphy . and Pal
Moore fought 12-round draw at Bos

1914. , i
Athletic9,and Giants, are great ma

Onnzales. Aneel Villazon. Esauiel Ra

have signed contracts to play with
Long Branch,! N. J., next year.
Well, perhaps there Ja something In
the magnates' remarks that it's not
all velvet in the big show for the box
office . kings. A demon statistician
down St.- Louis way has figured the
Chicago Cubs split in a. recent Cardinal-Cubs
game at $52,02. The statis
tician took Roger Bresnahan's salary
for the day and subtracted It, leavr
ing all of $16.91 with which Mr. Mur
phy could pay the rest of his players
and settle hotel bills and railroad
fares. .
Harry Clark, who succeeded Hugh
Duffy, as manager of the Brewers, has
been re-engaged by Mrs. Havener,
owner of the club, -and- has .signed a
two years contract.
Earl Hamilton, the Browns' pitcher
who has been on the shelf for thei
greater part of three weeks, is again
in shape. A five-minute visitr at the
office of Bone-Setter Arm-Puller Tendon-Fixer
Reese was responsible. ,
Harry Cbvaleskle, who was pur
chased by Detroit, from Chattanooga,
this fall, has announced that he. will
not report to the Tigers until spring.
He has pitched something like 40
games and says he" must have a rest
for the balance of the year.
Here is a Detroit estimate of In-
fielder Fritz Maisel of the New Yorks:
"He appears to be one of the best in
fielders to break into the big league
In years. He is one of the few highly
touted recruits who holds up his repu
tation in the, big show at least in the
two games played here. He is about
the size of Bush and one grand little
fielder."
