Hammond was nipped for two straight games, namely, to the American Giants (colored) on Saturday and to the Jake Stahls on Sunday. Only the latter, however, will affect their league standing. Cclncidentally secondbaseman's erors effected the loss In each Instance. In"" Saturday's game the "colo'd genjn" scored easily In the firet before the H-.mtuor. 1 boys had hardly go set. Henning Issued a pass to the first man up. who was advanced to second and third in quick succession, on two sacrifice hits. Then, with two men out. the fourth man up singled to center, scoring the lead-off man. It looked different after that, for the next six innings the crafty Giants met some strong opposition. It was in the eighth session when, with first and second filled. DeMoss of the Giants batted out a hard grounder to Mostil. on second, who erred and filled the sacks. Henning did his share here by fanning the next man up, Pete Hill, the pinch hitter for the brown-skins. Lloyd, however, got into him for a clean double down the third base lino and scored two men. Barber, their right fielder, dropped another clean hit over short, scoring two more. Then they dropped back to normal. Mostil. a South Chicago product, who was trying out at second, and who had played a wonderful game up to this point, had merely had a bad break and the damage was done. The game ended the visitors with six runs and Hammond was shut out. Stahls Win, 2 to 1. Sunday's game opened up In much the same way, except that the tables were reversed. Knight, lead-off man for Hammond, grounded out to Artie Hoffman, the ex-big leaguer, who was playing first for the Stahls. Then Moll singled to center and stole second, prettily. "Walsh came up with a clean single to right field, scoring Moll. Then the Stahls assumed a business aspect which brought results in the sixth. In thi3 frame "Pickett, their centerfielder, filed out to Moll. Scnwind. his follower, hit to Shannon and gained first on the letter's error. Bell doubled to center.' Hoffman sacrificed out to Walsh, scoring Schwind. Brown run the count to 3 and 2, then worked Henning for a ducat. Allen hit to Shannon, who again erred, and Allen was safe. Then Brown was caught neatly in a box, while trying to gain third, on Shannon's error, but -was pounded out close to that base by Mokate who had run In from left field to back up Moll. This gave the visitors two scores as against Hammond's one, where it remained through the finish. Henning allowed the Giants seven hits and the Stahls six. The gate showed five hundred in attendance Saturday and eight hundred Sunday.

Johnny Dundee. When Johnny Dundee licked' Willie Jackson decisively a short while ago he turned a trick that is rare in litfiit history. Jackson had knocked Dundee out for th'e first time in the career of the little Scotch-Wop. Stan Ketchel came back and beat Papke, who had knocked him out, and Dundee's victory over Jackson puts him in Ketchel's class. It is seldom that a boxer has the courage to master his dread, of another knock-out.

iRITTON'S

RLCQRD IS LUMINOUS

By H. C. HAMILTON (Culled Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, July' 9. Jack Britton is S2 years old. With a margin of seven or eight years over most of the. topnotch scrappers in the United States

the title of the welterweight champion against all comers. After he decided he wanted to be king among the Impounders Britton hasn't barred anyone. Twelve times he met Ted I.fwia. the

hard-hitting and shifty Egnuishman and j M

nnaiiy met mm in a iweniy-rouna anair at Dayton, only to lose his championship. Britton, whose rime Is "William J. Broslln, began fighting in 150'm. ' He met al of them, beginning v. ith the little fellows and working- his. way straight through the lightweight class. The best of them were never too good for him. He wascredited with being the cleverest light.veight in the pame, aside from Packey MoFarland. who undoubtedly was a welterweight even in the best days of his lightweight career. Britton wa3 charged with being a dancing master sort of boxer one of the decidedly unpopular Freddie Welsh type, but his record shows plenty, of knockouts over some of the toughest boys who ever fought in the divisions he went throughKid Farmer was one of the men who fell before the smashes Brittons turned loose, and it would bo hard to find anywhere in the records a boxer tougher than Farmer. Britton also credits hirhself with a victory in eighteen rounds at New Orleans over Charlie White, but as a matter of fact. White was getting such a tf Trifle cuffing that the bout was awarded to Britton and he should be given credit for a technical knockout. Britton is a steady trainer, never out of condition, always ready to Jump a few hundred miles and fight. And he never has been known to really disappoint an audience. The times in hi: career when the newspapers have panned him for his boxing has been very few. Even his bout with Backey McFarland in Milwaukee, when Packey was unmercifully hauled over the fiery cons of criticism yielded nothing og severe censure for Britton. Britton has been a real pleaser, the kind the fans wanted, and it will be surprising if he doesn't retrieve laurels he lost to Lewis.
