ENGLISH BOXER TRIMS MACKEY

New Tork, May 22. Harry Thomas, the English boxor, earned the popular decision over Biz Mackey Of Cleveland in their ten round bout at the Fairmont A. C. Saturday night. Thomas was too clever for his opponent, but Mackey was able to hold the Briton almost even for the first four rounds. In the fifth Thomas began to work a left jab to good effect on Mackey's face and also landed three hard swings to the stomach which forced Mackey to hold in order to prevent a knockdown. From that time to the finish Thomas had a decided advantage and won by a good margin.

Philadelphia, Pa.. May 23. No life saver got any of Ed Reulbach's money yesterday, nor does Big Ed Intend to let any one tow him Into port hereafter. Neither does Jim Doyle intend to let any one cast sheep's eyes at the third basing job right away. These two, Reulbach and Doyle, were the dominant Individualities in yesterday's fourth straight defeat for the Phillies by Chicago's crippled Cubs. The score was 6 to 2. Reulbach was responsible for the "2" and also for the fact It was no more, while Doyle was the cause of a large majority of the "6." Reulbach held the Phillies to four safe hits and

A cooling summer rain that started

to descend over the south side base

Dan park yesterday morning caused

the postponement of the first game of the year between the New York team and White Sox, making the third successive day for postponements of the national pastime at Comiskey's grounds. As early as 11 o'clock It was

decided the grounds would be too wet

for a contest, so the first battle with

the Highlanders will take place this afternoon, providing the weather man

relents.

x ne New Yorkers arrived In the morning minus their manager, Hal

Chase, who Is 111 and out of the game

Owner Frank Farrell Is with the boys

on the trip because of the absence of his young leader. It's a peculiar thing

that each eastern club that has visited the south side grounds so far this

year has been deprived of the services

or Its star player because of Injury or

sickness. The Athletics didn't have Eddie Collins In the battle except in the last game. Then Boston came

along without Tris Speaker, Its chief hitter and run getter, laid off with a sprained ankle. Now New York Is here and Its star and leader, Hal Chase, Is

on tho hospital list.

CROWN FOR BOB BURMAN TO RIVAL

KINGGE0RGE V. $10,000 Headgear for Dare

Devil of Auto World.

Indianapolis, Ind., May 23. At 9 o'clock on Decoraaion day morning and just an hour before the start of the

500-mile international sweepstakes

race at the speedway. Wild Bob Bur-

man, the speed king of the world, will be crowned with a headgear that would cause the ruler of almost any

nation In the world to sit up and take

notice. He will be presented with

gold crown worth $10,000 by the Firestone Tire company, as It was the product of this company that Burman used when he shattered all records on

the Florida Beach some time ago. The crown will be an exact dupli cate of the one to be used at the coro

nation of King George V. except as to

size. It will be embellished with dla

monds, rubles and emeralds. After the crown presentation Burman will attempt to lower the world's speedway

record.

Bob Burman, the renowned auto

speed wizard, has entered the Haw

thorne track meet which will be run

June 10 and 11, and will drive his 200

horse power Blitzen Benz for more world's records over the mile course. The entry of Burman was made last night after a series of telegrams and telephone messages had passed between him and the management of the meet. With Burman will come other

members of the famous team which he will lead this season, the bunch furnishing thirty entries for the big session here.

San Francisco, May 23. Champion

Wolgast today gave an Impressive ex

hibition of his punching power. After going three rounds with his sparring partners he took on three young local

boxers who were attracted by his offer to meet all comers. In some way Wolgast's manager learned that these boys

had planned to try to knock out the

champion. Wolgast was warned, and

the three boys were met with whirl

wind punches that knocked them down and all but put them out in a single

round each. Wolgast's favorite punch was a left lead to the stomach which always landed on the chin.

PROFESSIONALISM INVESTIGATED Lincoln, Neb, May 23. Charges of -professionalism against past and present members of the Nebraska football team will be taken up today by the

athletic board. This was the decision reached following the alleged filing of affidavits to support the cha'rges. The particular case is that of Sidney Collins, star center of last year's team, who is accused of accepting money to play.

Newcastle The old covered bridge on the National road, just east of Dunrelth, which was erected in 1832, and has done service ever since, affording means for thousands of people to cross the stream at this point, is soon to be torn down. It will be replaced by a modern steel bridge fifty feet long and having a twenty-foot roadway, for which the county commissioners recently appropriated the sum of $3,000.

INTEREST LACKING IN CAPONI-LANGFORD GO Kenosha. Wis., May 23. Kenosha fight fans are not taking a great deal of interest, in the Langford-Caponi fight. The authorities here have let it be understood that they will not interfere with boxing matches If kept strictly within the law. However, District Attorney Henry J. Hastings probably will act and stop the fight If adverse criticism gets too strong. The city officials would only stop the fight in case of serious injury to Caponi. Kenosha people figure the fight as a Chicago enterprise and they are taking as little Interest as possible In It.
