Tlgue can help hi* reputation n
lot by beating Paul Berleuha 'h
*hen the two meet In the city
a good showing against any top
notch fighter. I'aul would seem
to be tb? lad made to order for
htm.
For Michael la clever and has
done bla beat work against
clouters who have little skill a?
an asset. IflcTlgus will not
be risking his title as a world's
champion evidently ami he in In
the happy position of not having
much to lose In this battle. Thin
?s because his reputation is not
,hl*h. and because every one be
) lievo* that any good lighter of .
his -weight ought to heat him
Should (McTigue. therefore out
point BerKenbach by u wide mar
gin ? there Deems uo chance he
could score a knockout ? he will
be in demund for some puyitig
hnuti
Mike Is not taking any chance*
of being rusty when he meets the
former wirestler. On Octobew 1,
he will box a light heuvy weight
yd to be named out in Ohio.
The best man obtainable will be
secured as McTigue's opponent,
say the the promoters.
Young Btrlbllng is going to
make his Boston debut next Tues
day against a tough middle
weight. Tommy Robson of Mul
den. Mass. The bout will go ten
rounds to a decision and Is certain
to attract a great crowd of spec
tators who have yet to se?> the
Dixie youth In action. Strlbling
must be made of rubber, the way
be Is barnstorming the country,
fighting here, there and every
where. Some day he will go too
far and run Into a snag.
ffew York. Sept. 16. ? Pennsyl
vania may ask a favor of New
York State in relation to the pro
jected Walker Barrett fight in
Philadelphia, or. the matter may
be submitted as a mere common
sense proposition.
To come to the point, the Penn
sylvania commission will inter
cede with the New York body in
behalf of Walker. The Quakers
think Walker should be permitted
to mingle with Bobble without be
? ^ny-MnWeened by the N?w Vtmh
solons.
Walker wei^t to the Pennsylvan
ia commission about the Barrett
matter.
"All I want to do." he said,
"is to make some money. In the
past two years everything has been
gotng out and little coming In.
The blow-up of the Lenoard fight
cost me a lot since I had passed
several good offers.
"Now I want to dig in and
make my bank balance look like
something. I'm willing to meet
Shade, but I think I ought to have
a fight packed away first. Be
sides. I need the money."
-The Pennsylvanlan's told him
to go ahead and get ready to do
?battle against Barrett and prom
ised to present the matter to the
New York commission in an ap
pealing way.
Just now there seem to be pros
pects of a Glbbons-Tunney battle
and of all fights that have been
held or promised this year, that
particular prospect thrills the
writer.
There> would be science a plenty
? and some hard wallops. But
somehow Gibbons appeals to the
writer as too knowing and strong
for Gens to tackle Just yet awhile.

TIGERS KEEP
IN THE RACE
Will Take Claying on Own
Purl and Loss of I'orni l?y
Wa-liin^'hm Itnl Detroit
lias Chance.
New York Sept 16. ? Th- De
troit Tigers kept themselves in
the running in the spirited Ameri
cun I.'ague rac ? by <lof?*afTn ^ th''
Washington* on Sunday and Mem
day but their only ehanrc now is
to trim tlx* Yanks a;id then
up the ? floor- wiih Ikntun anil
| Philadelphia. Kven then it is 110
certainty that the Washington?
would not win out.
.Last week showed the greatest
loss to Brooklyn of any of the Na
tional Legue contenders and the
most beneficial gain to Pittsburgh.
Tho Giants moved evenly. The
Ilrookly-ns now have two more
defeats chalked against them than
the New Yorks, and as lias been
remarked before, it is tin- bloom
ing defeats which do everlastingly
eat up a tram's earnings at this
stage of the race.
More and more it looks as if the
National League pennant m.?y_ be
decided by the difference between
the Nv w York and the Brooklyn
clubs on their season series which
is a matter of three games. Pitts
burgh will have to clean up both
of -them in order to have a look
in.
The Yankees had a grand chance
to tie Washington forThv lead on
Sunday but Thurston pitch- 1
against them one of ih?? bctU-r
clans of gamns whic h he rtelivi r?d
earlier in the season and tho
White Sox were enabled tin r< .>>
to break their winning r. freak
Washington, to maintain it<
speed against Detroit, should hav?
won the Sunday game. That would
have given the Senators 15 vic
tories for tho season against the
TistT3, It U very doubtful If
1 U?> -\V*i? s|i in jUouk -a ro rea My a 14 j
t< am against Detroit.
Brooklyn ami Cincinnati have
finish. (1 tin Ir series. So j
!iav.- V w York and SI. I*wuis in
ihe National. Brooklyn won 12
games ami Cincinnati 10. That!
-li_u bigger triumph for Brooklyn
than it appears to he- because at
(Ik* b>-Rinning of iho Benson Cln
cinnti was regarded as a 1.1-7
combination against Brooklyn.
The Giants beat the Cardinals 1.1
times :>nil tin- Cards whaled tho.
champion* nine tihies. That is a
percentage of .101 for the Giants
.tin. - n. 1 tun Olann -nrr-ovi ! aoo
in the rnoo.lt shows that tho
Cards have labored pretty ?vll
against the champions.
If Pittsburgh, should come
through ami win the p-.iinant no
little credit will be due to Kinil
Vde, tho young pitcher who is
serving l>ls first year in the Na
tional League. Tlv> fine game he
pitched in Boston on Saturday.
?tfler he had hoen jolted for his
sroond defeat of tho season on his
iprevioii!- Mart, showed that the
young niah has courage and cori
tirms the opinion that was held of
hint in tho West last year.
Hi Oklhoma City friends ns
I sorted repeatedly that Yd? would
proye the heat first year pitcher
that cither League had taken on
for 10 2 4. They were' 'right. For
onre. a prediction 'about a colt
pitcher has ionic true. And the
thing that helps most is that ov
* ryhody in Oklahoma had faith in
him when big leugue scouts liad
turned him down.
Over in Brooklyn they take

Qui "tioi; ? .In a game on a niud
ily field a player, tackles the buck
ra rylng the ball who has reached
?he ?l??feinl > n x ? player'n two y*t4
lilie. The ball carrier Is downed
'?ut slides on across the goal line.
Is this a touchdown? The tack
l.T Of r.Mirre gooe over the line
grasping the back.
Answer ? CS'ot according to the
Utiles Committee who In an opin
ion on the subject says the ball
yhtnrra. go back to the two yard
line, or wherever first tackled'.
Uul? 6. Section 13 (a) is brought
forth to bulwark this ruling. Hut
th ? writer cannot see that It ap
ple's. In other words, were the
writer the referee he would feel
the M-orint: si<l>? was rightfully ?*n
titled to its score. On the other
hand the approved ruling of the
Rules Committee and not the ref
eree's personal opinion is the
thing that stands.
Question ? In a football game
played with the fence behind the
goal very close to the field of play
a back carries the ball over the
line and then fumbles 1t. In the
scramble to get It the ball bounds
over the fence. A member of the
team which had carried the ball
back of the lino scales the fence
and falls on the ball. Is this a
touchdown? ?
Answer ? Yea. unless there has
been a ground rule to some other
effect.
Now York. Sept. 16. ? The de
feat <if England ut polo In the first
game of the series was foregone.
So. unless all alfjns are at fault, is
an American victory in the re
maining two games, even with
Stevenson, the regular No. 3 out
of tbe-gawe.
Th?ri' was ?-very suggestion lnl
the play of the British on Sat- 1
urday of a team of individuals.
They seemed more intent upon fol
lowing the bull than upon play
ing their opponents and as a con
sequence tho American four was
their baseball seriously. Every
Sunday now the fans almost teur
down the park to get themselves
all in. They not only want the
Brooklyn* to win but they want
both the Giants and the Yanks to
lose. Washington is the choice ol
the Brooklyn fans as tho Ameri
can League pennant winner. Per
haps ? hey would like to see Dazzy
Vance and Walter Johnson hooked
'tip in an epochal pitcher's battle.
