MORRIE BLOOM AND
SPIKE KELLY DRAW
South Bend, Ind., Sept. 27. Spike Kelly and Morrie Bloom of Chicago
fought one of the fastest ten-round
draws ever seen here last night. They
boxed at 145 pounds. Kelly was the aggresor, but Bloom by clever blocking and pretty infighting, returned just
as good as he received. Twice Bloom
sent Kelly to the floor, but the Irish
man came back so strong Morrie was
unable to folfow up his advantages.
Up to the fourth round the men kept on even terms." In tho fifth and sixth Kelly had a shade the better of it, while Bloom took the' honors in the seventh and eighth. The last two
rounds were viciously fought, but with no advantage to either man. Bloom was the cleaner fighter and the crowd's favorite. Kelly's rough tactics were continually hissed.

was Jolted in the first race, when Brig,
from the stable of E. R. Bradley, won at 24 to 1. In the second race King
Olympian nosed out Delaney, the fa-
. vorite. Lackrose, half brother of
Round the 'World, nabbed the long end of the purse in the third race, while Dust, the favorite, finished in the ruck.

There wasn't enough batting prowess on the Cubs team to win both games of the double header with Boston at the west side yesterday. The retreating champions took the first contest in impressive style, the score being 10 to 2, but they fell before the tall-enders In the second, 7 to 5. Consequently, no ground was gained on the proud Giants
and the Cubs must begin a series of four games with them today with the New 'Yorkers seven and a half games In the lead. Big Ed Reulbach was able to get his fast ball over the plate and "make It hop, too, so Boston was well nigh powerless in the opening game. Ed allowed only five base hits, and the two runs cam in an inning when he experienced his only moments of wildness. On the other hand, the Cubs were In fine batting fettle for that cotnest. driving two aspiring Boston twirlers off the slab. A wee southpaw named Burke atteniDte.l to Ditch the game, but
he was dragged out of it before thre
rounds were over, "Buster" Brown
taking his place. The Cuba did a lot of damage to "Buster," and he retired In favor of "Buck" Weaver after seven
rounds. The second game was quite the reverse. The good pitching was on the Boston side, a young spitball fiinger, Ed Donnelly, who halls from Troy, beiag on the mound. He's a strapper In size, and pitched in such accomplished style that the Cubs couldn't win the
game by the usual and simple manner of hitting. By clever and alert base running, however, they kept the result In douht until the last one of them died In the ninth.

New York. Sept. 27. In another exhibition for which there Is no adequate
word except awful, the White Sox
wound up their year's work In Gotham
yesterday by a victory over the Yan
kees, boosting themselves back to the
500 level in the mathematical business.
Score, 5 to 4.
Out of the parody on the national
pastime, like a 100 horse power beacon in a pitch dark night, shone the pitching of Joe Benz in spite of the fact he had to retire in the eighth as usual to let Scott finish for him. Benz out-
pitched Russell Ford, the white hope
of the Yankees' hurling staff, by sev
eral degrees and would have had i clean shutout to his credit If his sup
port had been worthy of major league
pitching. Every run the Yankees
made was handed them.
To make matters worse the White Sox, in addition to booting runs across
the plate, had an awful time making
any of their own, considering the
quantity of opportunities they had. to
make them. For seven innings of the battle the first White Sox at bat got
to first base or farther than that before" stopping, dnly twice did said
first batsman get home. In one of the Innings, In which the first man up failed to get on, the second whacker lit on the. ball for a three base hit and
then could not score.

JOHNSON IS BRD
I(E:'
NEEDS MONEY
London, Sept, 27. Jack Johnson is
broke. The heavyweight chamrjion.
whd, after he had whipped Jeffries,
quit the ring at Reno a little more than a year ago with $100,000 "to the good" and who has been making money near
ly ever since, apparently could not
stand prosperity and Is now facing the
problm of "financial straits."
It js admitted that the negro is
broke and this is the main reason of his great anxiety that there be no interference in his fight with bombar
dier Wells e(Tt week.
Johnson's trainer. Cutler, has told
Tex Rickard and others that Johnson
was forced to pawn his motor car and
his diamonds recently before leaving
Paris to come to London for the fight.
Johnson Is reduced to such a pen
niless condition that he is unable to pay his manager, trainer, valet, secre
tary or his wife's maid. Also, It Is
known that he could only buy them
third class tickets from Paris to London and traveled second class with his
wife instead of first class, as Is customary.
"It is true." said Tex Rickard. "I
have bo reason to doubt It. He looks very seedy. He has spent $120,000
since fighting Jeffries. This sum was
the champion's share of the winnings in addition to receipts from theatrical
engagements.
Trainer Cutler admitted he had re
ceived no money for recent services.
He tried to get some this week, but
Jack pleaded with him to wait until after the fight. Since coming to London he has also dismissed his white
valet. He Is In better physical condition than before going to Paris to train, but he, has lost his immaculate air and seems much depressed. It is the talk
among his associates that he has been
going It at a lively pace. It Is also reported that he has had many quarrels with his white wife, the last spat occurring recently in a Paris cafe, where she declared he did not pay enough attention to her and he slapped her face. The fight officials admit that John
son put his last penny In bets on the fight and will be greatly worried for
ready cash if it Is declared off.
TOMMY MURPHY IS
TAT
HUR
Columbus, O., Sept. 27. Following1 the accident which resulted In the
death of the mare Pansy Silver on the
track here Monday there was another sensational spill yesterday at the fall trotting meeting of the Columbus Driving association. It occurred In th
first heat of the 3-year-old trotting di
vision of the Horse Review Futurity and caused a thrill of horror, as it occurred almost directly in front of the
crowded grand stand.
The horses were finishing their mile with Margaret Parish in front, when
Mainle&f, who was second, stumbled
and fell within fifty yards of the wire,
throwing Curtis to the track. At al
most the same time Baroness Helen
Just back of the distance flag, also stumbled and went down. throwing
Tommy Xiurphy over the rail.
The other drivers, by good work,
managed to get around the fallen
horses. Neither of the horses was hurt and Curtis escaped uninjured, but Murnhy was badly shaken up. With
assistance he walked from the track.
but was placed In bed at once. Among other Injuries It is known that he sus
tained a broken rib.
the legality of the home secretary's dropped to second place. Detroit kept

sustained by the courts he would withdraw from the enterprise at once. Johnson and Wells have signed articles to box under the National Sporting club's rules and White added that If the match was made impossible In
London It might take place In
though he would have no interest in It.
The campaign against-the fight was based oh moral grounds, but the authorities are more concerned with the efTect that the possible defeat of a white man by a negro would have on the black subjects of Great Britain.
CHURCH TEAMS IN FAST GAME The Catholic baseball team won a very close and exciting game from the Congregationallsts Saturday afternoon at Forsyth field. Both Wells and GoJdrlck pitched gilt-edged, glittering ball and the hitting was not heavy. They were strongly supported by Cook and Landon at the receiving end. Score, 3 to 2. Batting order: Bartuska. 2b; Gainer, lb; Wells, p; Cook, c; Adley, If; P. Smith, ss; C. Smith, 3b; Schultx, cf; Muldoon, rf.

led in the slugging with two home runs and a pair of two baggers in five times at bat. His total of twelve bases is probably a season's record for the major leagues. Both of Baker's home runs cleared the right field wall, it being the flrst time a batsman ever performed this feat in one game. Crawford led Detroit at bat with a. home run and a single, while Bush and Cobb
