There is only one thing that looks good from our standpoint, and that is Weaver looks to be In grand condition •T must give Mobile credit —they have the best looking ball club the »’rarkers have faced this year.

The Gulls pounded Musser out of he box in the first, getting two dou bles and as many singles for three runs, without an out. Weaver was pant in and did better. 1 hough he was not given support which was calcu lated to help him in his uphill fight. Mobile got the fourth run over in the first, and then in the fifth on two hits, three walks, two double steals and a wild heave, scored four more. They added the ninth tally in the sev enth inning We scored in the first w ith two hits and Stocks’ error.

N EW YORK, May 5.—There was a semblance of a tragedy en- acted last week at the St.. Nich olas A. C.. when Frank Moran bat tled Luther McCarty ten hard rounds. The crowd 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 tohat few' others were aware of: his right hand was totally out of business through the breaking of a small bone, and w’hat was more important he w asn’t to receive a penny for his serv ice*. Held Luther Even. For 30 minutes he fought McCarty, and in the majority of rounds gave as well as lie received. All the time he was in action Moran realized iHut with a useless hand lie 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 and every thing for him to lose. He went through with It and gave the specta tors their money’s worth, for lie did most of the forcing and made the fight. Few realized that the fight was as good a.s canceled Wednesday morning. Moran’s handlers knew he was really unfit to enter tHr* ring and wanted him to call tin affair off. ifr said, “No." Few Morans in Ring. Again in the evening he heard t He receipts were only a little over $3,000. According to his contract, he was 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 he accepted ns a legitimate excuse. Moran simply said: “I’ll fight McCarty if lie knocks me out in the first round. I never ran away from a fight and no one is going to ever aav I dodged McCarty.” There are few Morans in the ring. NELSON SAYS HE WILL QUIT RING ON MAY 4j lUUl.AOEl.PHIA. PA. May ft.— Battling Nelson Iasi 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 he a contender for the lightweight crown. I promised the public I would make this announce ment when I had satisfied myself that 1 could not come back. I am satisfied " k HI LADELl'HIA. May o. Now comes the real test for the Giants, when the Western teams in the National League journey East this week for their first intersectional series. The stiffen! contenders for the pennant are bound to come from the West in the Pittsburg and Chicago clubs. After all the four Western teams have made their Eastern visit, there may be something to tell about the finish of the race. Outside <*f the Giants. Chicago and Pitta burg will find little opposition in the East, ox rept possibly in Philadelphia. Boston and Brooklyn w ill be weak-kneed against the charging Cubs and plunging pirates, and it will l>e an excellent chance for one of these two clubs to open up a lead. • * * I T* VERS has shot out ahead with his team in grand style, but as soon as lie 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 twirlers that look very good on paper, have not received any effective box- work. all the men being off form. This Is practically the stiffest pitching the (htlis have encountered. The Chi cage hatters 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 good game in Brooklyn. The pitchers on both the Giants and Phillies are much further advanced in their work than the twirlers on the Western clubs. MeGraw has six pitchers in good con dition now, while the Philadelphia staff is in tiptop form. The batting averages of the Cubs are liable to shrivel up a little bit when the stick ers meet up with some real twirling. not one of them had finished an entire game, but the team has l>een winning on its robust sticking ability, pound ing out victories by big scores. Now, if JO vers* pitchers do not improve and 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 Im* the cause of their downfall. 'I'HE. case of Pittsburg is slightly 1 different from that of Chicago, but the outcome of the im]>ending Eastern trip will have a large amount of influence on the Pirates’ chances. Clarke has an excellent pitching stall*. No one denies 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 so far For a long time this season able. If be fails to get any worth I OOK at the thin angle. twirlers have from the other None of the Chicago •Jiown phenomenal form while on this Eastern trip, his team may be crowded back so far that by the time it is in good health there’ll lie a long road to travel to overtake the leaders, whoever they may be. The Giants are not sorry to see the Cubs beat Pittsburg notv. because we still figure the Pirates to be our strongest rival for the pennant, and the further back they are crowded, tlie longer spurt they will have to make in the middle and at the end of the season. The team is bound to come through eventually. The ability is there. I F Wagner can return to the game. the Pirates should give tlie Giants a hard battle for the flag.; Reports conflict on the Dutchman’s, condition, but it is doubtful whether! he will be able to play for a long time, if at all. That will hurt Pittsburg, i because the infield is badly damaged with him out of it. The (Hants do not expect the Cubs to hold up. and figure the Pirates will l>e the boys to, beat. Therefore, the Chicago victories j now are not troublesome. (Copyright. 1913. by the McClure News paper Syndicate.)

May 5.—Jack Britton, the Chicago lightweight, who. in pri vate life, is William J. 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. 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.

M. Walker. US ANGELES, May 6.—“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 lie was feeling .1 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 90 far as championship contests are concerned, it will be seen that he is not padding his assets when lie mentions the mere sum of $100,000. 'I can not believe that the sport 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 the enemies of the game, 99 per cent of whom never witnessed a game, have been unable to say a truthful word against it.” It is learned from a reliable source that the city of New Orleans w’ou'd 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 Joe Mandot, the Southern lightweight, hofl a few words 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 he handled as it has been handled in California for the past ten or fifteen years. They want 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.
