.\E\V YORK. Aug. 6. I’m not dis
couraged and I know my friends are no:
either. was the optimistic utterance to
day of Luther McCarthy, the Springfield.
Mq , white hope, who was beaten on
points by Jim Stewart, of Brooklyn, at
Madison Square Garden last night.
The contest was so close that many
thought that a draw would have beeTi
a better popular decision.
McCarthy showed that he has plenty of
strength and gameness, but that he lacks
ring skill and science.
li Was McCarthy a 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 fight. In these Fred
die Hicks, ot Detroit, beat Willie Lewis
and George Kirkwood, of St. Louis, won
from George Cheney, of Baltimore

Scheduled for Today at Ponce

' | AH E Billikens' last appearance
1 at Poneey 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 face 1
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 to see Montgomery

pitched and' the fight was on. It
run 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’ bench
with a reprimand from the new
umpire in his memory.

line that .struck Danzig’s, glove.
The ball glided off anti went far
down the right field line and Gra
ham. and McElveen came home.
The hit might easily have beer,
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 rush'll from the
