Just as Clarke Griffith thought his men had the Cubs subdued and neatly beaten yesterday the Reds spikes slipped in the last half of the sixth Inning, and, taking full advantage of that slip, Chance's veterans upset the enemy in the same old way and walked off with the first game of the series, 6 to 2. It was a literal walkaway, because bases on balls were the most conspicuous of the beatific sixth in which the Cubs wrested away Cincinnati's lead with three runs. Only one safe swat was made in that round and the run that put the home boys In the lead was forced across the pan by a walk. Suggs, who was pushing the perambulator, settled after the game was ours, but in the eighth was treated to a spell of fireworks with Zimmerman as Instigator, and the victory was cinched by clean swatting. PROMOTERS SAY RAGIIIE WILL PERfellTJOOTS Officials of Drexel Club Doubt Report That Lid Is Clamped Down. Racine may be wiped off the fight map, for the time being, at least. This would be a sorry blow, indeed, for the Chicago fans were it not for the fact that each and every one is confident of seeing the boys with the padded mits in action at home in the not distant future. Mayor W. S. Goodland of the Wisconsin city, has yielded, it is said, to the demands of the ministers up that way and has decided to clamp down the lid. A Racine dispatch indicates that the mayor has concluded his city must not be turned into a fight center and a wide open sporting town. Message and Krone, Chicago repre sentatives of the Drexel Athletic club of Racine, are Inclined to doubt the authencity of the dispatch and express confidence in the ability of the club to stage more shows in the' lakeside, auditorium there. President Budar of the Racine organization, ; they declare, has been told to go ahead with his boxing exhibitions, provided they are conducted on the same high plane as heretofore. HESSVILLE COLTS !

The Sox started off with a comfortable lead of three runs bagged in the opening Inning, but the Naps batted their way to the front by two runs in the third. In the seventh the Sox tied It up and squeezed a couple over in the ninth, making it look safe.

Mayor Harrifeon Announces He Favors Boxing Shows if Well Conducted. CARROLL BILL HAY PASS Local Promoters" at Loss to Understand Stoppage of Racine Bouts. The stamp of approval was placed on six round boxing bouts in Chicago by Mayor Harrison and Chief of Police McWeeney yesterday. The mayor said he had no objection to allowing bouts to be held in the city if conducted along proper , lines, and announced that if the Carroll bill, now before the state legislature becomes a law, he will hold a consultation with Chief McWeeney and formulate rules which the promoters and boxers must live up to. Mayor Harrison said he favored boxing if the bouts were conducted in a clean and sportsmanlike manner, but made it plain he would clamp the lid Ipn the moment any irregularities oc curred. It was Mayor Harrison who stopped boxing in Chicago shortly after the GansrMcGovern fiasco at Tattersall's and there is no doubt he will not hesitate to take similar action again. The action of the chief executive in sanctioning boxing met with the approval of local pugilistic fans who congregated at fight headquarters yesterday. The general Impression Is that the hill will pass the house and that Chicago once more will have a chance of seeing some of the .best boxers of Ihe world in action.

FT. WAYNEBOUT OFF. Forbes-Coulon Go Halted by-

Disagreement. Failure to agree on welghing-ln time between Johnny Coulon , and Harry Forbes for the scheduled Fort Wayne bout next week made a match between the two bantams an improbability as far as the Indiana town is concerned. The difference of time in question was just half an hour, but neither man would yield a point and the matchmaker gave up all hopes of trying to get them together. Coulon wanted to weigh 116 pounds at 6 o'clock and enter the ring by 9:30 o'clock, and Forbes insisted on 116 pounds at 5:30 o'clock and be in the ring by 9:30 o'clock. The fighters have been dickering on the go for several days, and it looked as if it might go through, but the obstinate thirty minutes stopped it. Forbes may get a scrap with the Logan Square boy in Toronto during coronation week, however, and get a chance to square things there. The Toronto match has not yet reached a definite stage, but it is expected that the promoters will get down to real business soon. Coulon may be matched to box with an easterner next week in place of Forbes. SPEED TRAPS APPEAR. Suburbs Dig Pits to Catch Fast Auto Drivers. Another member has been added to the "come back" family.

by the way of making things interesting for village constables, town marshals and other officials who uphold the majesty of the law, the club is planning to send out this week an army of watchers. These men will be provided with large canvas signs which, when spread across the road, will bear the following inscription: "Look Out For Speed Traps." Similar tactics were taken last year by automobillsts ln retaliation to what they declared to be "unfair methods" employed against motorists by official! of various neighboring towns. This year the banners will be larger in size rfind the number of watchers assigned to each town will be increased. JIM M'GUIRE QUITS THE NAPS Cleveland, O., May 4. Disappointed over the showing of the Naps and feeling that perhaps some one else could do better with the team than he could. Manager James MeGuire surprised the local fans yesterday by handing in his resignation to. President Somers. MeGuire, who was, long known as a big league catcher, first Joined the Naps as scout early in 1909 and was named successor to Lajoie when the latter resigned as manager in August of the same year. Who will succeed MeGuire is problematical, although the names of Harry Davis of the Athletics, George Stovall, Joe Birmingham, Fielder Jones and Scout Bobby Gilks have been mentioned. Until some one is "named Captain Stovall will fill the place. M'FARLAND TO FIGHT KILBANE Cleveland, O., May ,4.
