BRONSON GETS
DRAW DECISION
Holds Packey McFarland for
Twenty Rounds In New
Orleans —Fast Fight.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 20.—The
mueh-looked-forward-to bout between
Packy McFarland and Bay Bronson
was all that fight fans expected, and
then some. For twenty rounds the little
fellows mixed it in good old-fashioned
style, and the decision of a draw was
a popular one.
While Bronson has many friends and
followers here, even the most devout
of these expected McFarland to best
their man. But Bronson broke out in
the first round, rushing into the tight
with prodigious speed and a hard kick
ing wallop.
All the early rounds were against
McFarland and the middle ones were
an even break, but during the last three
rounds the staying qualities of the old
er fighter asserted themselves and it
was conceded that had the mill been a
25-round affair Bronson would have
been put out before the finish.
The battle was pulled otf in MeDon
oughville, across the river from New
Orleans, no attempt being made by the
authorities to prevent it.
BADGER CAPTAIN
ALL 'ROUND STAR
JOHN W. WILCE
Madison,, Wig., Sept. 20. —John W.
Wilce, captain of this year’s Wisconsin
varsity eleven, is one of the trio who
have re-established the university in the
college athletic world. The others are
“Biddy” Bogers, who captained the
football and basket ball teams during
his last year, and John Messmer, the
track, football and baseball star.
Wilce is one of the grandest athletes
Wisconsin ever turned out. He won a
name in athletics when attending West
Division high school, Milwaukee, when
he was the mainstay of his school in
all the scholastic meets.
Wilce stroked the freshmen eight his
first year at college, when the freshies
defeated Cornell, -Columbia, Pennsyl
vania and Syracuse. Twice since he
has been a member of the varsity eight
and will captain’ the 1910 crew. •
He has played on two varsity elevens
and in 1907 and 1908 was the All-West
ern full back by unanimous choice. He
has played on two varsity basket ball
teams and will play this year.
Tn addition to his athletic career,
Wilce is a lead in scholastic and stu
dent affairs and president of the Y. M.

Chicago, TH-. Sept. 20.—Football is
due in the west today and college stud
ents will be out in force to see the
doings in all of the camps. Every
School will start actively to make use
of two weeks of preparation for the
first games in October.
Beports from all of the conference
colleges indicate something more than
the average prospects. When the “big

places of last fall as the foremost con
tenders for the western title.
Wisconsin is distinctly,with the lead

MONDAY,
Think
Did it ever strike you that Ameri
can women have become a mighty im
portant factor in sport?
I never gave the subject much
thought until a day or so ago, when
my attention was called to the large
number of our sisters, wives and other
fellows’ sisters and wives, who have
forged into international prominence
through skill in various lines of sport.
It’s no pooh-pooh or piffle matter,
this fact that the strenuous American
girl has assumed her place at the fore.
It wasn’t so a deeade ago, but some
chap from the other side came over
here with a caustic pen and wrote
things; among other statements he
made was one that America was de
teriorating because Americans didn’t
know how to play. <
Bing! The girls were up and at it
like a rescue gang at a mine cave-in.
Marshmallows and the six best sellers
were started in the direction the wind
was blowing, and American women be
gan to take an interest in something
more strenuous than holding a lap dog
and discussing the latest things in
French bathing suits.
Golf and tennis attracted the largest
number, because the very young, the
middle-aged and the elderly could get
their, satisfy out of them. You’ll no
tice that this feminine awakening was
a weight for age handicap if you watch
the professor closely.
In the renaissance every healthy girl
found a desire to run, ride, golf, drive,
EASTERN TURF
DATES CROWDED
Much Interest In Pimlico Meet,
Where Open Betting Will
Be a Big Feature.
New York, Sept. 20.—From now un
til the legal closing of the racing sea
son on Nov. 15, the fall turf debates
will be crowded to the limit. Four
meetings are scheduled on metropolitan
tracks with a very interesting meeting
at Pimlico, Baltimore, overlapping. It
is probable that Pimlico will attract
some of the very best horses, includ
ing several stars in S. C. Hildreth's
string of great animals, B. T. Wilson's
Olambala and J. H. Bespess’ Winter
Green.
The stake schedules provided for the
; fall meeting are equal in attraction to
' the- average for the season, but with
, equally valuable races the Pimlico
meeting will make stronger appeal , to
horsemen because of the open betting
I at the Baltimore course. The Belmont
I park stakes have closed with the beet
1 horses of the year among the entries as
it will be clear of conflict. For the
Metropolitan Jockey club meeting at
Jamaica, a list of 13 stakes —four for
all ages, two each for three years and
three-year-olds and up, with five for
two-year-olds—will close today, the
chief event being the Pierrepont handi
cap for $2500.
A list of fourteen stakes —four for
all ages, two each for 3-year-olds and
3-year-olds and up, six for 2-year olds
to be run at the Queens Jockey club’s
I Aqueduct meeting, will close on Satur
' day of this week, the most notable race
' to be the Aqueduct handicap for $2500.
I The shortest meeting of the season,
; with six days of racing, will wind up

I club, Yonkers track.

Kansas City, Kan., Sept. 20. —It look

Bronchos yesterday, but they blew up
in a critical point of the game and the
Giants mixed three hits with two errors

game. Cyclone Joe was the victim. In

GEO. DALY.
By all odds the best pitcher in the
Three-I league, Geo. Daly, of the
Springfield club, has been gathered in
by the Giants, and will report to Mc-
Graw at the clotie of the Three-I sea
son, Sept. 26.
Daly was sold to New York by
“Dick” Kinsella, president of the local
club, for $4OOO. Kinsella is the man
who sojd Larry Doyle to the Giants for
$4500.
,Daly hails from Buffalo. He was
found in Bay City, Mich., by Kinsella,
who purchased his release for a nom
inal figure. His record this season is
17 victories and five defeats, he hav
ing worked in more games than any
other pitcher in the league.

California, for another girl from the

success of the ex champion. Like Miss
Sutton the new champion is a splendid
specimen of young American woman

nothing for graceful poses and pretty
effects. She plays to win. and is all a
fine, healthy American girl should be.
Turn to basebalj, and Vermillion, O.
boasts of the best pitcher that ever
wore skirts—yes, and she is a better
pitcher than many a professional draw

ball, plenty of speed and a good change

Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 20.—A1l the
American league clubs now being in
I the east, there were no games scheduled
for Sunday. The two teams battling
for the pennant spent the day resting
from the strenuous series and will take
i the field this afternoon for the last bat-
I tie in excellent condition.
Today’s game is considered by many
to be the decisive one. If the Athletics
, can win they will be but two games
i behind, but if the Tigers should prove
the best their lead will be a command
ing one and should win the pennant.
It is probable that the batteries for
the opening game will be used again
today, Plank working for the locals
against Eddie Summers for the visitors.
It is barely possible that Jennings
I may put George Mullin in the box,
1 in view of the fact that he easily won

Following todav’s game, Detroit goes
to Washington for three, then to New
York for four, Boston for three, then
home for one, closing the season in
Chicago on October 3.
Philadelphia, in the meantime, will
be pitted against Cleveland, St. Louis
and Chicago, finishing the season with
two games with Washington. All these
contests will be played at Shibe park.
This schedule would seem to indicate
about an even break on chances, barring
the fact that the Athletics are at home.
The three western clubs have kept Phil
adelphia in the ruck all season, while
Detroit has had its troubles with both
Boston and New York, particularly on
the last trip.

GAMES LAREDO
Amateur Baseball Season In
San Antonio Near a Close.
Yesterday’s Results.
The San Antonio Athletics returned
this morning from Laredo, where they
played three games, losing two and
tying one. The local club, which was in
charge of Alexander, found consider
able trouble in hitting the Cuban pitch
ers in the border-city town. One young
ster. who worked Saturday, is undoubt
edly big league material, except that he
cannot speak a word of English. This
would, of course, keep him off a Texas
league team. Every man on the line up
of the Athletics reports a tine time and
good treatment in Laredo.
This will probably wind up the visits
of local teams to nearby towns. The
E. and F. nine played in New Braun
fels, losing by a score of 3 to 2, eleven
innings.
Local amateurs played a few games,
a notable one being the 17-inning bat
tle between the Households and Jok
ers, which resulted in a tie. Stowers de
feated Beacon Hill 6 to 0, while the
Giants took a swatfest from West End,
7 to 6.
