It will brine to n close the most profitable tbree months in liistor, for more than 1(10.000 persons attended. The (istie panic was placed nu it bicher plane thau ever before and It became it major sport. 'Willi both baseball Hulls piiiiR bad, it was the only athletic event which stood out. That a units for its popularity. There were no big surprises during the summer, no championship changed hands and no titlehobler as Hnttcii'-d. ltenny Leonard had several easy fights for which he was well paid and One hard battle which netted him little cpin of the realm. Howcmt. Leonard should worry, lie took away with him In three battles against Dundee. ('Hue and Itarttield something like S'.Ti.Ono, which is very good for fifty four minutes' work. Tendler almost went the voyage the night In- met Willie Jackson, but managed to pull through the first rouud and won the bout at the end. That was the only near-thrill in the hot spell Tonight Tendler meets Irish 1'atsy ('line in the star bout and expects to show something. Perhaps he will; but there is another net on the program which looks like a real treat, .foe Lynch, who gaie Jimmy Wilde a hard battle and lost a iisti"nalin decision to the Lnglislmian, and also easily defeated Champion I'ete Herman in a no-decision hunt on Labor Day, will flack up against Joe Iturmai. another top notch bantam. The winner of this scrap probably will have a chain c to tight the champion, for both l".vs arc top-noti'hcrs. The other bouts also are good. After this show the regular indoor season will bree,e alone in full swing. Boxing fans are worried over the fati of the clubs, because of the big purses and the wonderful shows at the ball parks. Perhaps at the start the boxers will make oxoibitaut demand of the promoters and refuse to tight, but in a short time, when the weather gets lold. they will fall in line and accept their usual indoor fee without a murmur. XT LOOKS like a br! year fur hnjiny in I'liilnilclphin. This McGraw Minor League Product Faded Early BASEBALL flowers that bloom in tin- spring, tra la, sometimes wither under the hot summer sun. droop their heads and tnki the air through the first open exit. These persons always arc three-. sheeted to burn up the league before May 1. but, strange as it may seem, few stand the acid test. Tht're have been too many failures in tlie past to attempt to enumerate these m,nrnlng glories, but there is one case in mind which might be interesting. ' Remember Karle Smith, the kid catcher purchased from Itochcster by the Giants this spring'" Kemember how Motiraw handed a tlock of players and bundles of kale to get tnc greatest young prospect that ever donned the mask and wind pad? Purely you do. And you probably have groun weary looking for-'his name in the box score and put him on the list with the other has-beens. Smith came into the league with nil of the peace, quiet and etclusive ness of a circus parade or a hard-working boiler factory. He evidently be iieyed every word Arthur Irwin told him and was convinced he was a big league performer without ever having performed in the big league. Hight off the bat he became a holdout. He couldn't play for a measly $000 n month after living like a king on $"00, and insisted on getting a big league salary. At' that time MctJraw needed catchers, so the matter was patched up and ,Eaflc profited greatly thereby. Irwin touted Smith as the greatest free-swinging hitter he ever bed afcri. This was his ballyhoo when he put over the sale, and it was s(i K,i !ha;t"evcrybody believed it. So the youngster was given a chance and another one; Then he was told to pick out a nice, soft spot on the bench and keep it Tvarm throughout the season. The star had become dimmed anil the sensa tion' of the International League became a waim-up catcher like the other hired men. But Smith is not to blame for his showing, lie has tiicd hard, but in experience has been against linn. His swollen cranium got him in had at the start, and now that he has discarded bis size '."J hat for one at (Ts there is hope. He mnj make u good catcher for MoCraw next year, and again he may not. The manager of the Giants evidently lias faith in him. for he has sot tried to trade him in any of the deals he put over this seasuu. fHE oilier ilny the batting ateiayes found near thr end of the list. lit BBItT YMIiSr.KY, rjstovvn I'rofessioji ia all.

Ilradlry started like a truck horse in a race with Sir Barton or Purchase and soon became one of the worst beaten hurlers in the .league. Kverv time lie appeared in tlie box the opposing club declared a ( holiday. U was impossible to sell, trade or ewn dispose of him on waivers. In fact, if it came to a show -down tlie other clubs probably would have paid to keep him on the Phils. But when things looked dark and gloomy and the clouds had no silver linings, Hogg took a brace. Instead of performing as a beaten, mediocre pitcher he suddenly came to life, came back with bis fast ball and his sharp breaking hook and started to win some games. lie is on a winning streak now and Tvill be one of Cravath's mainstays in the box until the lino curtain fails. In addition to his pegging. Hogg lias started to clout the sphere, and today has a swatting average of an even .liOO. That's very good for a pitcher at this .time of the year Tbe trouble with Hogg this year was that he started late, He n nol satisfied with his contract and held out until an increase in salary was gianted -lTYhen "he reported he bad not been through the training camp grind and tried to keep up with tbe other pitchers. He couldn't. Working hard day after day, he did his best to get iuto shape, but there wa nothing doing. ,'0t until last week did he find himself. Hogg is a September pitcher. He' always does his best wik when the eason is on the wane, nnd a glance over bis record proves u. Ju J9J7, when pitching for l.os Angeles, be won fifteen straight after September 1, and that performance got him a job in tbe majors. rTHE Phils now arc in Cincinnati, assisting in the home-coming of the Sational League champions. This should be a profitable trip for the home folks, financially and otherwise.

It was necessary in the seventh inning to chase tbe for mer to the showers and hurrv Maekin to the rescue, but as a lifoaver he was not a howling success. The home club did not allow tbe vis itors u single tally, with Sheffy in the best form of the season, while Disston came through with nine, four of which were for extra bases. The Sawmakers counted twice in the third, once in the sixth and tlie game was called at the end of the seventh after they had come across with six more, making nine in all.

To put It in futurist language, it was n helluvn a day in Cincinnati. The coming chnm pions lost n game to the cellar-holders; they were exnspcratingly delayed in their cinching of the pennant nnd New York wns given n tiny flicker of hope ns the result of the afternoon's pro ceedings. George Smith pitched un ideal game yesterday. He held the mighty Jteds to a pair of .faint singles and only per mitted four of them to find their way i to safety the two singles .and two I passes. There was very little nutri ment for tbe Jteds in that showing nnU tbey could not ensh n run. Could not even come, near the plate nnd were left in sorrow inning nfter inning. Mean while the Phils hit Jimmy Uing just hard enough to beat him. That's tbe trouble with .T. King. Always pitching the finest of ball, the Reds are never able to make anything behind him. Tough on King What's the use? What doth it profit a guy to pitch superlatively when his cohorts bat about ns well ns a respect able wasblady? Iting only allowed two runs, one of then? the result of nn error, the other ensuing from nervy base run ning, but as the Iteds got none at nil, what's the difference? In the fourth stanza, Williams nicked Iting for a single, so did Mcusel. Young I Patrick Duncan heaved the ball in the ......nonl .lit rt.tt Srtti nf tlltfil VlllKC- it glanced off one of Mr. Williams's ninny angles and ilew afar, wherefore long Cy 'risked in. In thc eighth Lebonveau,. Cravath's new recruit, a stocky poilu with ani mated, drew a pass. When Blackburnc laid doivn a sacrifice, the Frenchman never stopped till ho attained third, going round the bend nt second like a coyote reporting for dinner. Williams grounded to Daubert and the French gentleman bustled home. .And that was all. nbsolutelj all in the way of run getting. Uecrult Makes Hit Lebonveau, the newest I'hil, made a great impression. He is a stocky guy with much speed and hits left-handed, .lie debutted with a hit and his base tunning in tbe eighth meant a tally. In the field, be muffed his first chance, but got it up from the ground so quickly that he forced a runner and saved himself an error. lie made the last putout of the game ou a neat run ning catch off Daubert.

If this move is put through the terrific uproar you will hear will como from tho striking baseball writers, who will make tho actors nnd tho railroad shopmen look like n collection of striking amateurs. The Competitive Soul SOME days ago we listed Francis Ouimct as one of tho lenders in the list of Competitive Souls. To this list the name of Bill Johnston, of California, beloDgs in expansive type. He, too, is one of thoHC rare nnd lucky mortals who can rise to the best they have when the supreme test comes. Chief Bender nnd Eddie Collins are two star members of this nrray. If Collins doesn't play a big part in thc coming scries you can take the palpitating dope by the scruff of the neck and toss it into the garbage cart. A S FOR Uill Johnston, he will always be a rugged opponent to over- throw as long as he has the physical stamina to last, for the great little C'alifornian has this Competitive Soul to an advanced degree. PAT MOHAN won n pennant for Cincinnati and Kid Gleason wins one with only two dependable pitchers. With this double foundation for compara tive rating to start on, you can plunge into new complexities if you care to kill some passing afternoon. A L'STIUA nnd the Athletics get the peace and world series terms together. A BYSTANDER writes in to find out what golf grip President Wilson uses. We have never heard. Tbe chances arc, however, that he tics himself up into several may-T-knots before swinging nt thc hall.
