New York, July 14.—A mutch will prob ably be fixed up between Frank Carsey, of Chicago, and Kid Tyler, of Plttaburv. Kid Brocke wa> to hare met Tyler next week, bat jumped hi* agreement and the Non pareil Athletic Club of Bearers Falls la trying to Induce Carsey to take hla place. Joe Gregg, the Indian boxer, who made such a hit In hla bont with Dutch Carr at Chelaea last Tuesday night, baa been matched to meet Iludulph Vnbols at Old Orchard, Me., on July 30. They will box fifteen rounds at US pounds. Battling Stinger and Kid Stinger, Philadelphia cousins, who put up such a whirlwind bout on Tuesdny night, are to lie ramatebed to meet again within two weeks. Charley Neary, the lightweight, has been matched to meet Aurello Herrera for eight rounds August 17 before the Badger Ath letic Club, of Milwaukee, and will box at ltt pounds ringside. Articles hare been signed thla week In which Battling Nelson agrees to box Joe Galtlngan six rounds before the Trt-CIty Athletic Club of Davenport, la., on Mon day night. Young Erne and Fred Welch, of England, boxed alx of the fastest kind of rounds St the National Athletic Club In Phila delphia last night, and at the finish there was so Uttle to choose between them that Just rerdlct would bare l»een a draw. Erne had all the physical adrantagea orer the Englishman, but the Utter offset them by hla clerrrness. Tly Fourth of July receipts thla year In the South Atlantic were rery large. The receipts In Savannah amounted to 51,• 261.15; In Charleston to 5965 40, and In Macon to 5*00.85, making a total of 53,* 027.50. Of this sum, each club gets 5804.64, ss the receipts are poled on that day.— Exchange. Some advice to “Little Eva:** If you want to produce happiness In a vacuum, get slaughtered.

O O 00OOOOOOOO0OOOOOOO0OOO00OO “Stony" McGlynn, of the York, club, won 30 out of 23 games and.Is the aUr pitcher of the Trl-Stata League. The New York Americana did great work with the stick Jn their recent serf#* with Philadelphia, making 40' hits to their oppo nents 22 In the four games. And yet the best they got waa an even break In the aeries. Three outfielders, four Infielders, three pitchers and two catchers make up the Boston National's squad on their Western trip. This la the limit for economy In the big league. At present the Western League race Jooks to be a one-team affair, with Dea Moines at the t4ap with a percentage of over .700. President O'Neil might learn something from "Doc" Shively aa to the organisation of an even-balanced league. It Is said that the long season, .with con tinuous baseball nearly the whole year, his done much to hurt the game In Call fornla. It looks as though Grand Rapids and Springfield have a mortgage on first place In the Central League. Two dabs In the .100 class, two In the .500, two In the .400, and two In the .500 division make up the race. The former major leaguers, Henlty, Case and Carlach, are doing great work for Rochester In the Eastern League. A game of bate ball was played In Ger many on the Fourth of July.

Once again after a lapse of many years two dis tinctively Western race horse products are running orer the flower of the metropoli tan stables. During the last ten days, Ham's Uotd, winner *f the 1505 Montgomery handicap at Memphis. Tenn., and Sir lluon, victor In the last Kentucky Derby at Louis ville. Ky., have shown fully the mettle and the good thoroughbred substance, within them by simply toying with strong fields of local horses of their age and respective class. v Both Ram's Horn and Sir Huon took hfgh-class honors with clean heels dating the last ten days. Ram's Horn won the Bay Ridge handicap Monday at Sheepsbeed Bay in a romp. While the doggedly provincial New York ers piled thousands''and thousands of dol lars Into the betting ring on Bedouin, at 3 to l. Bookmaker! "Jimmy** Duckworth, •Charlie" Ellison, "Johnny" Fsy, George C. Bennett and Bookmaker "Jack" Sbehan walfed until Bookmaker "Bill" Cowan, the richest and reputed wisest money handler In the ring, had posted 4 to L Then came the educated ^yestern play. The aforementioned clement plugged the 4 to 1 down to 13 to 5 at the very dose. After the smoke bad cleared,' Cowan ■tood a 523,000 loeer, while Tyler, Lichen- atefn, Roee and Hanff, other strong book makers. also showed deficits to the play of the race. W. S. Williams substituted 8haw In place of Perrfne, who had done moat of the riding when Raid's Horn had »p the colors at New Orleans. Ram's Horn ran bis characteristic race. Cedaratrome.

Then he came home on the bit. Sir Iluon's vindication came with the running of the 517,000 Commonwealth han dicap of n mile and a quarter for three- year-olds and upward. Here again the New York speculators couldn't see the pos sibility of a Kentucky Derby wlntier rang ing alongside the ranner-np to a Brooklyn handicap and a Suburban handicap win ner. So It was when betting enaufd on the race. Sir Huon went from 13 to X to 30 to 1 In some books at the close of bet ting, while Dandelion, whose second to (Jo-Between In the Suburban handle, had l**n hi. pretina, perform, nc*. ,(ood , t, to 5 favorite. sir Haon had run th. nrda, before In the Adrtnr.

Sir Huon waa on the outride and gaining In every Jump. Of courae when Dandelion went down It wan all orer but the raahlng of 8lr Hnon beta. He won going away. However, I feel the beat horte In the race waa Sir Huon and he would have beaten Dandelion to a moral certainty Between Itnm'a Horn and Sir Huon the local handicap horaea and the local three, year-olda will b« kept bopping In order to protect the home laurela.

From nowhsra at all to second place In no time at all. Pretty fine sailing. President Joyner, of the local clnb, aald Friday, "I'm not afraid of New Orleans at all and Hhreveport does not worry me so much. But that Birmingham team! It la certainly aimed for tbe top." Just bow It baa happened la hard to •ay. Birmingham bad Just such a winning •treak as this once before this year, but It did not last, and when the bunch quit trotting and went Into a break it was all orer foj? a month or ao. In fact, for awhile It looked as though Driver Vaughan were never going to get the aggregation back on its pins. The other time that Birmingham was going at such an awful clip the prediction was ventured that the Barons were playing a little "better than they knew how." This statement waa proved correct when the Barons went to pieces In such sad style and stamped to nowhere. Whether they are only hitting It In the high placet or whether the‘team has really rounded oat Into a flfit division aggrega tion Is hard to tell, for It has been some little time since the * Barons were here. And when they were here laat they cer tainly did not show pennant winning form. Shreveport la holding the lead lu the Southern League by a very narrow margin and the Gtlkers will have to hustle If the? hope to hold It Birmingham Is only ,c«»3 from the lead and New Orleans Is just .OU from It If Atlanta can do as well, or nearly ss well, against the Western teams during the coming stay at home as she did the Inst time the Westerners were hero tbe Crack- era will go right to the to£. And the chances seem to !>e pretty good. The bunch la certainly lu good condition, now. per- haps better thnn ever before this season, and with good luck the ending of the com ing stay at home should see the Crackers pretty close to the top. Probably the fight will be between Birmingham and Atlanta for first place at the end of the Westers invasion—though this business of loug range predicting is a rather dubious one. Th^ fonr teams In the second division keep about the same distance apart nod the affair down at that end of tbe line Is something of a procession.
