The main attraction was between Knock out Brown, of Chicago, and Battling Larry Ryan, of the West Side, in which the former was master of the situation from start to finish. In the fourth and seventh sessions Ryan went through the ropes. * ~ —r* EW YORK, May 5.—The St. Nicholas Athletic Club will be In the field again this week with another high-clafB bill, featuring with ten-round bouts between boys of three classes. The main event will show Johnny Lore, of the West Side, against Sam Robldeau, one of the best lightweights which Philadelphia has turned out in some time.

In the ten-round semi-final the contestants will be George “Knockout” Brown, of Chicago, and Leo Houck, of Lancas ter, These two mlddlowelghts have been figuring in bouts \Ylth the top- Motchers of their class for the past two years. In the opening ten-round bout the principals will be Kid Black, of tho West Side, and Tommy Iiouck, )f Philadelphia. * * * THE Atlantic Garden Athletic Club 1 will also put on an all-star show at its club house to-morrow night.

A. Another ten-round bout will complete the card. N' }y Ed Curley. EW YORK, May 5.—There wan a semblance of a tragedy en acted last week at the Rt. Nich olas A. C., when Frank Moran bat tled Luther McCarty ten hard rounds. The crow'd cheered on Moran when he landed a telling punch on the ac knowledged best man of the white hope division. Moran always answered wi th a smile and was apparently the most cheerful man at the scene. He left the ring laughing and Joking, but it was only by a strong effort that the blond-haired gladiator acted the part. Down deep in his heart there was a leaden feeling, for Moran knew w'hat few others were aware of; his right band was totally out of business through the breaking of a small bone, and what was more important he wasn’t to receive a penny for his serv ices. Held Luther Even. For 30 minutes he fought McCarty, and in the majority of rounds gave as well as he received. All the time he was in action Moran realized that with a useless hand he did not have the slightest chance of knocking out Mc Carty, which feat would be the only solace for the fact that he was fight ing for nothing. It was an exhibition of gameness, and the real heroism of the whole af fair was that Moran carried out his part without a murmur. There was nothing for him to gain find every thing for him to lose. He went through with it and gave the specta tors their money’s worth, for he did most of the forcing and made the fight. Few realized that the fight was as good njs canceled Wednesday morning. Moran’s handlers knew he was really unfit to enter the ring and wanted him to call the affair otY. He said, “No.” Few Morans in Ring. Again in the evening he heard the receipts were only a little over $3,000. According to his contract, he w*as to receive a percentage on all over $4,800. When he was told that all he was to receive was a beating and that the Injured hand would be accepted as a legitimate excuse, Moran simply said: “I’ll fight McCarty if he knocks me out in the first round. 1 never ran away from a fight and no one is going to ever say I dodged McCarty.” There are few Morans in the ring. NELSON SAYS HE WILL QUIT RING ON MAY 4 PHILADELPHIA, FA.. Way 6.— Battling Nelson last night announced his retirement from the prize ring after his fight in Pittsburg on May 14. He declares that he is satisfied that he never can be a contender for the lightweight crown. “1 promised the public 1 would make this announce ment when l had satisfied myself that I could not come back. I am satisfied' m V .22Cs&~ CHRISTY MATHEWSOH'S BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP P ill LAI (KLl’H I A. May 5.- Now comes the real test for the (Hants, when the Western teams in the National Lenane journey East this week for their first intersections! series. The stiffest contenders for the pennant are bound to come from the West in the Pittsburg and Chicago clubs. After ail the four Western teams have made their Eastern visit, there may be something to tell about the finish of the race. Outside of the Giants, Chicago and Pittsburg will find little opposition in. the East, ex cept possibly in Philadelphia. Boston and Brooklyn will be weak-kneed against the charging Cubs and plunging Pirates, and it will be an excellent chance for one of these two clubs to open up a lead. E VERS lias shot out ahead with his team in grand style, but as soon as he drills into the East it is going to be a question of pitchers with him. The Cubs have been hitting the ball very hard so far this season, harder than any club in the league, but they have not met any finished pitching. The Pirates, who have a collection of twirlors that look very good on paper, have not received any effective lx>x- work, all the men being off form. This is practically the stiffest pitching the (’libs have encountered. The Chi cago batters have easily clubbed their way through the pitchers on the Cin cinnati and St. Louis clubs. But when the Cubs hit the East they will meet able pitchers in both New York and Philadelphia, with one man. Nap Rucker, delivering a gopd game in Brooklyn. The pitchers on both tlie Giants and Phillies are much further advanced in their \vu*k than tlie twirlers on the Western clubs. MoCraw has six pitchers in goAd con dition now, while the Philadelphia staff is in tiptop form. The batting averages of the Cubs are liable to shrivel up a tittle bit when the stick ers meet up with some real twirling. * * * I OOK at the thing from tlie other -v angle. None of the Chicago twirlers have shown phenomenal form so far. For a long time this seasim not one of them had finished an entire game, but the team has lieen winning on its robust sticking ability, pound ing out victories by big scores. Now, if livers’ pitchers do not improve nnd the Cubs meet good twirling in the East, they are liable to strike a slump which may tumble them off their perch. If they do slump, the pitch ing staff will be the cause of their downfall. ■* ♦ * T HE case of Pittsburg is slightly different from that of Chicago, but the outcome of the impending Eastern trip will have a large amount of influence on the Pirates’ chances. Clarke has an excellent pitching staff. No one demies that But it is like a powerful engine which is run ning on only a clyinder or two and not firing very strong on these. The twirlers are all out of shape. Hen drix started the other day and could not find the plate. Adams went in and was no better. Pittsburg is a club that will come like a house afire along in July or August, but it con ditions slowly. What Clarke needs most now is pitching, competent and able. If he fails to get any worth while on this Eastern trip, his team may be crowded back so far that by I the time it is in good health there’ll | be a long road to travel to overtake j the leaders’ whoever they may be. | The Giants are not sorry to see the Cubs beat Pittsburg now, liecause we still figure the Pirates to be our strongest rival for the pennant, and the further back they are crowded, j the longer spurt they will have to j make in the middle and at the end of the season. The team is bound to come through eventually. The ability I is there. * * * I F Wagner can return to the game, the Pirates should give the Giants a hard battle for the flag. Reports conflict, on the I Pitchman’s condition, but it is doubtful whether he will be able to play for a long time, if at all. That will hurt Pittsburg, because the infield is badly damaged with him out of it. The Giants do not expect the Cubs to hold up, and figure the Pirates will be the boys to beat. Therefore, the Chicago victories now are not troublesome. (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) What Walter Johnson Has Done This Year BASEBALL SUMMARIES. SOUTHERN LEAGUE.

Breslin, was made the defendant in the City Court in a suit brought by John L. Costello, his former manager, to recover an aggregate of $2,187 for money he al leges he advanced for personal ex penses of the boxer during the time he was under his management. Costello, in his complaint, recites that from February, 1911, to July, 1912, he managed the fighter under an agreement by which he was to receive one-fourth of all the money earned by the fighter in his bouts, and in addi tion was to be reimbursed by the fighter for all moneys he expended for necessary expenses.

FITE OF IH FOB TODAY L l '» BOXING News of the Ring Game Veteran Jimmy Clabby still ranks as one of the greatest middleweights in the game to-day. Last week the Ham mond boy held Eddie McGoorty, claim ant of the middleweight championship, to a draw at Denver In 10 rounds, after nearly all the critics in the Middle West had picked Eddie to beat Clabby. Clabby has a wonderful record, hav ing met nearly everybody of any ac count in his division. Jimmy also took several trips to Australia where he best ed several of the leading heavweights on the other side. Clabby could make 154 in a pinch. So anxious is Gunboai Smith to meet Luther McCarty, that he has offered to guarantee McCarty $5,000 if he will meet him.

Walker. ANGELES, May 5.—‘‘How would you feel if you owned a business and that was worth $100,000 and knew that a ‘soup’ ped dler was hiding in the basement try ing to hand you a McNamara high ball?” Thomas Jefferson McCarey’s an swer when asked if he was feeling u bit nervous. The Browne bill, aimed to kill box ing contests in California, is to be taken up again to-day in Sacramento The fate of the game should be know n inside the next few hours. As McCarey, together with Pro moter James W. Coffroth, of San Francisco, practically controls the whole world so far as championship contests are concerned, it will be seen that he is not padding his assets when he mentions the mere sum of $100,000. “I can not believe that the spoil will be legislated out of the State.” said McCarey to-day. “For ten years we have handled it here in so clean a manner that th* enemies of the game, 99 per cent of whom never witnessed a game, have been unable to say a truthful w r ord against it.” It is learned from a reliable source that the city of New Orleans would welcome McCarey in case the boxing game is killed in California. Twenty-round contests are now permissible in Louisiana, and the Crescent City would become the logi - cal championship battleground with this state closed. Tommy Walsh, manager of Jo** Mandot, the Southern lightweight, had a few' w f ords to say concerning the New' Orleans situation. “We are to start twenty-round box ing bouts down there this month;” said Walsh, “and the sports have been frank in demanding that the game be handled as it has been handled ir California for the past ten or fifteen year?. They w r ant championship con tests. McCarey and Coffroth as pro moters have been freely mentioned along Canal Street.” Also there exists the possibility that McCarey might go to New York and take a hand in the ten-round thing. STOVALL IS SUSPENDED. CHICAGO, May 5.—Manager Sto vall, of the St. Louis Browms, to-day was indefinitely suspended by Pres ident Ban Johnson for his imbroglio with Umpire Ferguson in St. Louis during Saturday’s game with Cleve land.
