Big Ed Walsh was on the mound and was In nimble form, so much so that he had trouble in locating the plate right at the Btart, and two passes, mixed with a flukey single and a three bagger, gave the Athletics three runs.

Even with a three run lead the champions couldn't win. In the second round the Sox stampeded, driving Carroll Brown off the slab and slamming the curves of Mr. Houck, who replaced him until five men had been driven home. The Sox were always In front after that, though the Athletics did crawl up until a margin of only one run separated the teams.

First game at West Hammond, second game at For--syth avenue grounds, and the third will have to be decided.

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Aug. 10. Tommy Burns, one time champion heavyweight pugilist, showed some of his old-time form here" last night, when In the sixth round of a scheduled fifteen-round bout with Bill Rackard he floored the latter twice and was awarded the decision after the sheriff had stopped the fight. Burns apparently had played with his man until the sixth round, when he went In to finish him. In this session Rickard was knocked down once for the count of nine, and again for the count of eight. At this point the sheriff Interfered1. Burns weighed 185 pounds and Rickard 205. i WELSH IN 12-ROUND GO Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 10.

BREAK RECORD FOR
BRIEF RETIREMENT San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 10. Talk of an Australian boxing campaign for Jack Johnson has been revived and it may be that Jack, who has been a record-breaker in many directions, will be awarded the palm for the shortest time In retirement. . . Al Tearney, who was stakeholder for the Flynn-Johnson match, says that Johnson has been offered MO, 000 for wto matches in Australia one with Sam Langford and the other with McVea and that If Promoter Mcintosh will only place $10,000 confidence "money In Tearney's hands, Johnson will accept the Invitation. Johnson himself is noncommittal In a way, but Intimates that he may go

At that Gibbons can be classed as a

ally tips the scale around 161 pounds when he battles, and the 148-pound welters shriek in anger when Mike claims to be a member of their school. Now Michael is seriously thinking of coming here, and we'll all be delighted to receive him. But for digging up a real worthy rival It looks as if Eddie McGoorty and Young Sammy Smith are the two boys in sight. Out around Chicago the boys hint that In a fight with Jim Clabby Mike slightly "dogged" it. Admitting all that, Mike Is some fighter and then some.
or to Tearney. It is thoroughly useless to speculate on what Johnson will do. He changes his plans so often that It Is Inviting vexation of spirit to try and keep track of him. It will be time enough to suspect him of a desire to box McVea and Langford when he boards an outbound steamer for Australia. Even then there may be a colored gentleman in the woodpile, for the "improvements clubs" of Australia are
