fiportr Editor Kfcnlnic Pulillc Idcer
THERE was a heavy frost nt Shibe. Park lost night. It started at Kh.'IO
o'clock, Increased in violence ni the minutes flew swiftly by nml one-half
hour later the froexe-out was complete. The wind-up of whnt was to have
been au all-star boxing show wu all gummed up and then pushed out of the
'picture. Johnny Dundee and Willie .Jnckson were all dolled up and ready
to fight but not for their health. They had mercenary motives, which were
, apparent In the heavy front.
, Louis Mails, the boy promoter, went flooie in his second appearance as
a fistic Impresario. He discovered, after counting up the houe. that he didn't
a hare enough money to pay the fighters, and suggested that he give them one-
' -lialf cash and the rest in checks. This didn't make much of u hit nnd a long
discussion ensued.
Finally, after several announcements. Impromptu speeches and much
music by the faithful, hard-working bund, which p!acd wearily but with
much feeling, the spectators were told that the stuff was nil off and there
wasn't going to be any wind-up. Malls said he would play host for the
evening and anybody desiring his money hack could get it at his office todn.
This Is the llrst time n big show has failed to put on the wind-up In
Philadelphia. No matter what happened at the gate, the promoters went
through with it and took their losses. Last jenr the National A. A. ran n
Bummer show, the attendance was small and. although the deficit ran into
five figures, every bout was put on as advertised.
After the third bout there was a delay and the spectators became rest
',88. It was rumored that the wind-up wouldn't be staged, but few believed
It. lu the meantime, Mails was hurrying around, trying to convince the
boxers they should appear and take as much cash as he had and the balance
In checks.
"I will give you $2500 in cash," he told Dundee, "and my chei k for tlie
balance." Dundee did not answer at once, but accepted the proposition ufter
Phil (ilassman had guaranteed the check. Thot Used one-half of the act,
but Doc Bagley, manager of Juckkon. was not so eas to handle. He Mild
.that Malls was the only man promoting the show and wanted somctli ng
better than a check. He even got Into the ring nnd made a speech, nnd lu
' listed that a recognized business man indorse the paper.
This was done by Frnnk ('. Covin, president of the (ioodyenr Uubber
' Company. Then Jackson and Dundee climbed through the ropes ami nt In
their corners. Nu attempt was made to put on the gloves they just "at there
and waited.
Dundee vawned. for it was getting Into nnd past bedtime. .Inekson
looked at Uagley. waiting for the sign to go abend. The spectators sat in
,the heavy frost and tbe band kicked in nobly with selections which had bceu
rendered several times before.
' Then came the finale. Somebody snid Malls couldn't find n check and
'others declared he couldn't find any money. The ticket-holders were told to
'keep their coupons and get their money back. In this manner Malis saved
1 approximately 5(3000. He said there was $1000 in the house and if the
wind-up had gone on it would have cost him $10,000. As he wns going it
11 alone, with no outside aid, he preferred the $4000 slap.
THE announcement had a strange
seen to drop to the ground and
At first it vat believed they were overcome by the sudden turn oj
affairs, but later it developed they tcere looktng or seat checks.
Fiasco Is Lesson for Promoters
LAST night's fiasco should have a good effect on the boxing game. It
probably was all for the best, for nobody wns hurt, nobody lost money
except the promoter and the crowd's only loss wns some sleep
Boxers have been overpaid for a long time. Nobody blames them for
jetting as much money as possible, but they shouldn't receive more than
they enn draw at the gate. Jackson and Dundee have boied nine tunes and
last night might have been the tenth. They were signed up for about $."000
each, making the wind-up cost $10,000. The money wasn't there, the pro
moter couldn't produce It, the bout was called off and a lot of people were
disappointed.
The star boxers should be willing to box on a percentage basis. I.eonnrd
and Tendler did It and so did Tendlor and Friedman. Hcrmnn Taylor, who
paid bnck to the public more than $100,000 when the big lightweight cham
pionship battle was called off and now is promoting the Tendler- Friedman
match on September 1". says that both boys are on a percentage bnls and
will fight if there is only $1000 In the house. The percentage basis protects
the nubile nnd Insures asainst a fiasco like that of last night.
it looks as if Malis had bitten
led tbe all-stnr card with all of
too Inexperienced to talk financially
fit
no and received a world of experience.
BOXiyCr ii a business and it takes
promoters ictll learn this sooner
Benny Leonard Among Big Crowd Absent
TnE largest crowd of the season stayed away from the ball park last night,
and so did Benny Leonard. Benny was another disappointment, despite
tbe report that he would positively be here. Perhaps the folks ut home thought
the A's were playing a twilight game, and noted accordingly.
Many seats were vacant and idle when the first bout wns put on. It
was between dene Delmnnt nnd Billy Dp Foe. Billy won by n couple of
miles because he had a good left, which was kept constantly in Gene's face.
Gene missed many haymakers, but they didn't count
f The next net wns between Joe Jackson nnd Jlinmv Sullivan. Iieforpo
.Frank Mef'racken stopped the bout In the sixth round, which made a big hit.
(The bout had lasted too long as it was. MeOracken nnd warned Jackson re-
'peatedly about holding, and when the boxer refused to do ny he wns told
'the bout wns stopped.
However, it Is no discredit to Jackson. He took on the bout at short
notice, was not In the best of condition and did the best he could. He gave
.the best he had for two rounds, but after that it censed to be a contest.
, Charley White and Benny Valger were next to appear. They boxed
'eight slow, uninteresting rounds, and at the end it looked like n draw or
.something like that. Benny scored repeatedly with n light left jab nnd once
'socked a right to the chin. Charley tried hard for n knockout, but Valger
never was thoro when the haymaker started on its journey.
White did some good work a couple of minutes during the fight, which
offset the lead obtained by Valger.
rAKtyrt it all in all, it wns an unxntercstimi shou, the fcoiM irere
not even rrcitma nnd the only pleasure tome nf the spcctntoi t hail
was looking for seat stubs after the heavy frost had settled over
Shibe rark.

Yestenlnv wns n dnv of records nnd
near-record at the 1'nlllles' Imllynrd.
where the locals nnd the living Card I
lie's Indulged In their third gmne of
the series. It wns the rubber contest
nnd gave the Cards, as n icsiilt of their
victory, two out of three nnd ten vic
tories out of the Inst eleven gnmes
played.
Roger Hornsby. the brilliant secom'
sneker of the Missourlnns unit bntttns
lender of his lengue, crashed out hi
two hundredth hit of the season In the
fifth inning of thn gnme. n double
ngninst the scoreboard, which gives
the Card luminary the recoid of bein
the first batter In either league to hit
tlm dmililo i.etititrv mnrk.
Hornsby had n great day with thej
bat. He had two tloutiles, a mime run
and n wnlk out of live trips lo the plate.
In the eighth be force I C Williams
to bnck up against the bleacher wall
l, .leen center to ilrnc down his Ily.
It was the best exhibition Hornsby has
iriven here this
season in cxtrn uasn
hitting,

Jack Smith, tlie Uurl.v rigni iiemer
of'the Card, outdistanced his team
mate when it came to number of hits,
though their total bases did not come
near Hornsbj's. Smith hit snfel on
enth of his the trips to the plate, getting
three singles to the outfield and beating
out two bunts to the inllelders by fust
footwork. He also scored two runs
The five hits tics the best mark for
number of hits in a single game this
season.
Doc Lnvnn and His Hits
Another mark that is said to hnvo
been made je-tenlay concerned being
hit bv batted balls. Dr. Lavnn. the
swent' shortstoppcr of the Cnrtls, twice
hit one of his pnis with the ball he
batted nnd on each occasion received
hits when he would hnve been tossed out
br the lnllelder. who in each ense wns
Trenton Parkinson. McIIenrv nnd
Muclleh were the victims of their in
eptitude to get out of the wny of the
pellet. ,
What is believed to be n record this
season, or pretty i.enr being one, was
the bouncing out of twenty -three safe
hits by the men of St. Louis. In every
inning one or more ni'-u hit safely, in
the third five being made, with four in
the sixth, three in the fourth and sev
enth, two in the second nnd eighth nnd
one In the first and ninth.
With the exception of Kddie
Ainsmlth, who succeeded Clemons
bnck of the plnle in the sixth, every
member of the Cards hit safely at least
once. Smith led with five, followed bv
Hornshv. Fonrnler nnd Lavnn with
three each. Stock. Mueller and Mc
IIenrv with two npiece nnd Clemons.
Hemes nnd North with one each.
Tho Phillies, not to be outdone by the
record-breaking performances of the
visitors managed to snare part ( t"
limelicht. when Cy Williams enl one of
tlie costly pellets Into Broad street in
tin- fifth 'inning thnt not only marked
the departure of Haines from tbe
mound, but nlsn marked the sixteenth
home run of the season for the elongated

fifteen iiomeis a season until yesterday.
As for the game itself the Phillies
were never in it seriously. They did
mannge to ninke it hot for Jest Haines,
tin star of the Cntdinal staff, in the
fifth, forcing htm to the sImiwima. Irit
nuMdf of thnt thej never did much
threatening. Jess Winters, wim hail
n minor operation performed on him
last Friday night, was lambasted se
verely by the opposition while he worked
for thieo nnd one-thiid innings. He
permitted eleven hits and eight runs
during his tenure on the mound. Hu
wus relieved h Huek Betts, who stood
manfully on the peak while the Mis
sourmns were wealing nwny for twelve
mote hits nnd four runs.
Jimmv Smith led Wllhelm's cohorts
with the stick, getting three singles.
Heiilinc had two end the rest were di

The Pirntes and the hnrd-hittinc St
Louis Cardinals were down for two
battles toda, while the Ginnts were
tugagud with llieir Brooklyn borough
rival. The Indians were scheduled to
plnv n pntponed game at Detroit. It
wns a possibility for New York to take
the lend if they could capture both
games of a double-header with Wash
ington. The major lengue record of twenty
eight nssisis for the lnfielders of both
tenms wns eminlcd by Cincinnati nnd
Boston. The Bed iulielders had thirteen

THREE CHAMPS FACE
THEIR HARDEST TESTS
Bill Tilden, "Ciicr" Evans and Miss Alexa Stirling
Will Defend Crowns Against Strong Opponents.
Cobb on Verge of His Third Greatest Season
By
(iKANTIWVND KICK
More Atlvnnco Kdiocs
1'alnt and low Jaint and low,
1 van hear tho whistle blow,
I can frd the first big thrill
As the halfback takes his spill,
As the spiral, far and high,
Leaves a blur ayalnit the sky.
The Trlplo Tost
WITHIN the next fortnight or the
next few weeks three spectacular
champions fnee the keenest tests of their
careers.
The testing .order 1b:
Bill Tilden. tennlu champion-APulla-dclphia
battleground.
"Chick" Evans, golf champion St.
Louis.
Alexa Ktirllng, woman golf champion
At Hollywood. N. J.
All these have, earned their grip upon
fame. All three are among the great
est the game has offered to the lists.
Yet It Is entirely possible that nil
three will be dethroned, nnd more than
probable that nt least one of the trio
will recede from tho peak.
Championship Possibilities
TUB hardest opponent In Tildcn's
path Is Bill Johnston. It Is possible
thnt another may be good enough to bet
him down, but hardly likely.
Provided the crown wearer Is nt tho
top of his stride.
But Johnston has nn equal chance
with the title-holder, nnd when they
meet If they do It will bo ns close to
fiO-fiO as Sergeant York can shoot.
"Chick" Kvnns has the roughest as
signment of them nil, in that on n sin
gle day there nre more opponents who
may cudgel him out of the melee If they
hnppen to be nbotit right. This applies
not only to such opponents as Ouimet
and Jones, but many others capable of
grinding out n 72 or n 73 nt stated in
tervals. Alexa Stirling's most spectacular op
ponent will be Cecil I.eltch, British nntl
French champion.
But there nre many other fine golfers
to be considered such, for example, as
Mnrion Holllns. who has been nt her
best nil year, and who was only beaten
by Miss I.eltch on the final green.
'Hie Etlgo or Not?
I
T HAS been said thnt the champion,
psychologically, has the edge against
nny chnllenger.
In more than n wny or two this is
true. For the chnmplon, ns a rule,
carries most of the confidence. He hns
been over tho route to the top and isn't
taking an unknown trail.
But when hard pressed In some
mntch, If he begins to skid a bit the
feeling thnt his crown Is slipping off
doesn't help his bnlnnce. He has more
to lose than he hns to gain.
Cobb Again
TY COBB'S two greatest yoars were
In 11)11 ntid 1012, when he fumed
out bntting averages of .420 and .410.
Now nt the age of thirty-five or
thirty-six. In his fifteenth campaign,
ho is on the verge of his third greatest
season which, In mnny wiis, will bo
his greatest.
He has been hovering around' .400
since Into in April, with Spenker and
KMer. his two greatest rivals, well
bite and parch! (Cut out by our
exclusive patented process!)
Why-everpuff of P. A. makes
you want two more ; every puff
hits the bullseye harder and
truer than the last! You can't
such delight !
And, you'll get the smoke
surprise of your life when you
roll up a cigarette with Prince
Albert! Such enticine: flavor
hack. It wns thought that the numerous
worries, woes nnd tribulations con
nectcd with the handling of n ball club
would tlrop him further down. But u
n batsman he Is onn of those beyond
nny normal dope. He hasn't tho snee,i
he knew In 11)11 nnd 11)12, tho spued
responsible then for many bnse hits, yet
he Is still close to his finest records.
