THERE was nothing to do. of course, but to call in the Old F.iur again
for a last ride.
This team consisted of the two Wnterburys, H. P. Whitney and De.vereux
Milburn.
No one figured them with n chance. They were merely n last resort, a

Boxing Editor, the Evening Public

Philadelphia, Pn.
Dear Sir:
There ate a lot of guys nround
here who say that Joey Fox won't
have nn ice cream cone's ehnnce
in Hades when he meets Johnnie
Kilbane nn Monday night at the
Phillies' ball park, I'd like to know
where they get that stuff off of.
Kilbaii" is a great- fighter, hut when
he merts Fox the American is gning
tn have both of his gloved-hands
more than full. Theic's one gang
that's pulling for Fox mid that mob
will be heard loud nnd plenty when
the bell rings. The bunch will be
composed of "The Fox Rooters'
Club" of Kensington.
We nil like to see a boxer who
gives the fans n run for their money.
Fox is one of those fighters. He'll
not only give the cash customers all
the action they want, hut Mr. Kil
bane also will be in the running.
Ynu can say that the champion won't
be nverlooked.
Punches Well
You knnw that Fox is a good
two-handed hoxer. he doesn't hold on

"Spha" Playing Fine Ball
Owing Jo the McEorbes team deciding
to travel the S. I. H. A. team is with
out a game for this Saturday. Although
this is the "Spha's" first season on
the diamond, they are having excep
tional success, having defeated snme of
the best home teams in this vicinity.
"Chick" Passon, who last yenr
pitched for Becker, Page & Smith, of
the Manufacturers' League, and won
eleven of fourteen games, is pitching
in fine style. The team has been
strengthened by the addition of Canady,
the captain and shortstop of the 1010
Southern High team.
This addition has enabled Manager
Williams to shift Kravltz to the outfield
where he is playing sensational ball.
Manager Williams also has several open
dates in September. Semlpro home
teams wishing games and offering a
suitable guarantee, should address Dick
Williams, 037 Jlitper street, or phone
