TH K i\ T1 i A Ml A OKORCTTAN AND NBWH. By Ed W. Smith. C HICAGO, ILL., July 21.—There'B one safe and sane place on the fighting map whore box ing will flourish for a long time, be cause it is run by the best ha.ids and conducted for the sport’s sake be cause they think it's good pport. That place is Butte, Mont. They are guarding the game there as care fully as it is possible to guard any sport, and the men who form the boxing commission in the State are a reputable and representative lot. And they are not following the lead of New York or any other State, nor are they going by any timeworn and dogeared precedents. They are handling the game on a fair and unbiased basis. Hence the game is flourishing there • • • J UST now the Montana commission is made up of John P. Davies, a Butte attorney; Dr. Cooney, of Hel ena, and B. Markham, a Billings sport writer, with W. McGrath, a court clerk of Butte, acting as secre tary. This commission is in con stant ringside attendance at all of the contests and notes with great care all that transpires in even the minor bouts. The rules formulated by the commission are for the pro tection of the club as well as the boxer. Perhaps the strongest rule thev have calls for a physical ex amination of the boxers three days before the contest, and the test is one of the most severe that could be framed. Tommy Walsh, who had Knockout Brown boxing there July 4 with Jimmy Howard, says the ex amination is the most thorough he ever saw, and predicts that many a man will fail in it during the com ing winter season there. It is mod eled on the lines of an army tes*. * ♦ * A LL boxers are required to get on the scales the day before the contest, and if there is any trouble over the scaling, it will come up then and not the day of the battle or a few' hours before. This does away with a lot of eleventh-hour hitches. At least one member of the commis sion is present at the scales, and there is no possibility of any shady work. * * * NE of the bes* rules formulated ^ by the commission is that re quiring a club to furnish new sets of gloves for every bout, of no mat ter what importance. The prelimi nary boys, as well as the wind-up stars, are thus protected fully, and nobody is asked to use old. dried-up gloves that cut like knives. The gloves must be of the best make, too, and are carefully inspected by the commission before they are given to the boxers. * * • J UST now' there are two boxing clubs in Butte, which is the box ing center of the State. Jack Regan operates the big club of the city, the ■ one at w’hich the Clabbv-McGoorty contest was decided. Jack is the pro gressive young man who recently of fered a purse of $12,000 for a twelve- round contest between Willie Rltchi • and Leach Cross. He expects to de cide some of the biggest battles in the country during the winter. Jack's rival is the Copper City A. C., with Jerry McCarthy at its head. This is the club that decided the Brown- Howard encounter. BASEBALL ; Diamond News and Gossip * —— .. ~t The fight for second place In both leagues is waxing hot. The Senators are right on the trail of the Naps, while the Pirates in their rush upward are likely soon to overhaul the Phillies. * * * The Yankees are continuing their mad fight to get out of the cellar position, opening up a series in Detroit with a victory. * * • Southpaw “Eddie” Plank pitched in world’s series form yesterday and the Athletics shut out the Browns. • * * A fumble by Chapman in the ninth in ning paved the way for the Red Sox victory over the Naps. * * * Big Jeff Tesreau and Walter Johnson are the strike out kings in their re spective leagues. The Ozark bear has caused 111 batsmen to retire, humbled by his prowess, while “wonderful Wal ter has breezed 127 batsmen. * * • Whether the Pirates will have a look- in on the pennant will be demonstrated in the series with the Giants beginning to-morrow. Four games are scheduled and the Pirates must get better than an even break to cut down the thirteen game handicap separating them from the leaders. SUNDAY'S GAME.

M. Walker. I OS ANGELES, July 21.—Matty Baldwin, who is scheduled to box twenty rounds with the New York dentist, Leach Cross, on Tuesday night, July 29, went through an impressive work-out at the St. Ignatius Club gym yesterday after noon. While Baldwin did not extend himself at any time in his work outs. his ease of style and compi le mastery of the boxing game were ap parent, and Cross should have con siderable difficulty in holding him ->ff to the limit. Leach Cross traveled six rounds with Louis Reese and Johnny O’Leary, going three with each, and in addi tion went through the full routine of gym work. Cross showed excei - lent form and appears to be in th-3 best of condition. Bud Anderson was able to leave the hospital yesterday for the first time and is now convalescing at his Venice apartment. Bud will remain at Venice until fully able to travel. He expects to be able to enter the ring again within two or three months. Ad Wolgast and Johnny Dundee, who are to meet in the Vernon arena on Admission Day, were both inter ested spectators at the Cross work out yesterday. Wolgast’s manager, Tom Jones, will be here in a few days, when the final arrangements for the bout will be completed. Lightweight Champion Willie Ritchie is expected here to-morrow morning. It is understood that an agreement is under consideration whereby Ritchie is to box here on both Labor Day and on Thanksgiv ing, possibly taking on the winner of the Cross-Baldwin bout on the earlier date and Joe Rivers in November.

B OSTON, July 21.—A Boston sporting writer is authority to day for the following: “Ty Cobb is anxious to get away from the Detroit Tigers, and he does not care who knows it. Also the mighty Tyrus would like very much to play here in Boston, but frankly admits he can not see how the Red Sox would want to give up their Tris Speaker. “These statements are from Cobb himself, artd come in a letter I re ceived this morning from the Geor gia Peach, in which he touched at some length upon the story so wide ly circulated last week to the effect that there was a Speaker-for-Cobb trade on, a story that President Mc- Aleer denied most emphatically. Cobb declares he has always liked Boston. 'The fans there always seem so fair.’ he writes, and adds that he would like a place in the Red Sox batting order. “Tyrus significantly says: ‘There are tw-o other American League cities in which I would like to play. 1 would w’elcome a change.’ ” Games Monday.
