STEWART WINS
OVER M'CARTHT
BT SLIM SHADE
NEW YoRK. \ug. 6. “I n) not dis
couraged and 1 know my friends are not
enner, was the optimistic utterance to
day of Luther McCarthy, the Springfield,
Mo., white hope, who was beaten on
points by Jim Stewart, of Brooklyn* at
Madison Square Carden last night.
•The contest was so close that many
thought that a draw would have been
a‘better popular decision.
McCarthy showed that he has plenty of
strength and gameness, but that he lacks
ring skill and science.
It was McCarthy’s first appearance here
and he made many new friends by his :
clean fighting.
Twelve thousand persons saw the bat
tle. the crowd being one of the biggest
that ever saw a mill at the garden.
Several other bouts were staged in con
nection with the big tight. In these Fred
die Hicks, of Detroit, beat Willie Lewis
and George Kirkwood, of St. Louis, won
from George Cheney, of Baltimore.

<"TAII E Billikens’ last appea anee
| at Poncey park this season
will come this afternoon,
when they play the last of the two
game series that opened yesterday.
Both teams will have an off day
Wednesday.
Not only will the Crackers fare
the Billikens for the last time on
home grounds today, but they will
go against them with the knowl
edge that feminine fans are
watching in the gallery. This is
ladies’ day and they promise to go
in numbers to see Montgomery
perform.

is well established in the hearts of
Atlantans today, as his firm judg

made by the Crackers yesterday. .

the diaimind, settled his cap on his
head, pushed flown his mask and
defied even Manager Dobbs to
make a protest. The first ball was
pitched and -the fight was on. It
ran smoothly until the close of the
sixth. Then the Billiken leader
fought hard to reverse a decision
and leave the Crackers without a
single score. Five minutes later he
was seated on the players' bencn
with a rep: imand from the new
umpire in his memory.
'[’he conflict came up. with Gra

second. < 'aliaban pushed a bounc

The ball glided off and went far
down the right field line and Gra

The hit might easily have been
called fair or foul, and the fans
held their breath for the decision.
His umps called it a fair ball and
cheering arose.
Manager Dobbs rushed from the

the umps; His majesty pulled out
i his watch and timed the dispute,
giving little heed to tile clamor of
the .Montgomery team. With a

game to continue, it did.
A double play, unassisted, four
two-base bits, a small crowd and a
series of vital errors on the part of
the Crackers constituted the im
portant points of yesterday's af
fair. The first of these came in
the iast of the eighth, when John
